Crusen, formerly collator of cm tom of Torto Rico, at Ban Juan, In regis tered at the Millard hotel, It being his first visit to Omaha sine ho vacated his office. "1 left Porto Rico a month ago," he wild, to apeaking of his return, "and stopped for lame time In New York where I have a son who has a position In the National City bank. Bince then 1 have been visit ing my father In Iowa and have, until now, been practically Ignorant of what was going on. I find that in my absence I have been accused of all sorts of crooked work and have even been posted as a candidate for United States senator. Aa to the char ges against me, this letter, I think, Is a sufficient answer," whereupon Mr. Cruren exhibited the following autograph letter from Secretary Shaw: TREASURT DKPARTMENT, WASH INGTON, tec. 17, 1HU3. My Ienr Sir: Your resignation, voluntarily tendtred, as col lector of customs in the district of Porto Rlro Is accepted. While your administration ha been quite ftoverely criticised. 1 am disposed to believe much of It has been due to your seal In prosecuting violations of customs laws and regulations. The recent examination of your office by the supervising special agent was in manv ways very gratifying to your friends, as well as to the department. I certainly wish you all possible success in any line of business In which you may hereafter engage. Very truly Jou,'IAW Hon A. R. Crusen, San Juan, Porto Rico. "I wanted to get away from Porto Rico a year ago," he continued, "and handed In my resignation months before It waa ac cepted. An American there Is practically an exile and the money In the job Is no compensation for such a life. I wanted to come bank to civilisation and my friends, and I expect to stay in Nebraska If I can And a suitable business opening. I am not a candidate for any office and do not want any. I naturally dislike to be classed with Savage and Hartley, because I hava never trained with that crowd. I do like politics, however, and hope to be In the fray for my friends whenever they are Involved." Mr. Crux en -will be In Omaha for a few days yet. SUES LAUGHLAND FOR .
