THE BODY GUARD
OF THE PRESIDENT.
It Was the Result of Suggestion Made by
Mrs. Cleveland.

New York, Sept. 1s.-It is probably
not generally known that Mrs. Grover
Cleveland was the first person to
earnestly suggest body guard for the
President. William p. Hazen, ex-
Chief of the United States Secret Ser
vice says:
1.-THE idea of the President of the
United States having a bodyguard
was first suggested during Grover
Clevelsnd's second term by Mrs.
Cleveland. I was Chief of the Secret
Service at that time and made the
detail. 1t came about in peculiar
way. I think it was in February,
1895, that we were informed of aSplot
to capture the Cleveland children and
hold them for ransom. There was a
threat against the life of the President
if he failed to comply with the de-
mands of the kidnapers or attempted
to have them captured.
MRS. Cleveland insisted that some
one must be engaged to guard the
children and the President. Secretary
Carlisle called me in and we talked
the matter over. 1t was finally ar
ranged that we should pick out three
men from the Secret Service to act
as bodyguard. They We're to have
eight-hour watches and were never to
leave the house unprotected, day or
night.
when President Cleveland heard
of our plans he objected very strongly.
He did not like the idea, but Mrs.
Cleveland put her foot down and in
sisted and the bodyguard became a
matter of fact.
Later it was arranged that the
house should be guarded by the dis
trict police and that the Secret Ser
vice men should act as a guard only
when the President left Washington.
His Washington home at this time
was out at Red Top, about five miles
from the White House. Every morn
ing when the President drove in in
his victoria a mounted policeman fol-
lowed his carriage at respecrln,
ulotdiSN. = hc odlit PoiiScihdh was IL
ways waiting to escort him back
home.
"The marching to Washington Of the
Coxey army in 1895 was what first
prompted the detail of Secret Service
men to the White House receptions.
I had my agents marching with the
army all the way from Denver to
Washington. and the reports they sent
were eagerly scanned by the President
and his Cabinet. 1t was decided,
against Mr.. Cleveland's protest, that
1t was advisable to have experienced
detectives near him during these re-
ceptions to prevent any attempt on
his life. We always had two of our
best men close to him during these
functions.

HANGED
An Effisy Of CzoIsosz and
Burned II.

Chicago, Sept. 17.-(Spl)--An efigy
OF Czolgosz was set on fire last night
after having been hanged to an cleo
tric light pole at State and Madison
sts., one of the busiest corners in
Chicago. A large crowd shouted ap-
proval of the demonstration, hissed
their contempt for the assassin and
demanded similar treatment for EN-
ma Goldman.
'Thats the way We'll serve all these
anarchists" growled a man in the
crowd. "If they want to get along
without any laws, Wen show them
how it's DONE"
Bring out Emma Goldman and
we'll burn her, too," cried voice.
During the excitement which lasted
for three quarters of an hour, no po-
liceman was visible.

I'm one thing Mr.. Cleveland always
had his way. He would never let
his bodyguard go with him on his
fishing trips. They always went with
him to Buzzard's Bay, however, and
when he was around the woods they
We're never out Of hailing distance.
There were good many curious peo-
pie who used to trespass on his prem
ises at Buzzard's Bay, and 1t was a
part of the duty of the Secret Service
men to see that the trespassers did
not annoy Mrs. Cleveland or the child
ren.
''For long time Mrs. Cleveland's
bodyguard consisted of an old Secret
Service man and my brother, who
had had much experience under my
self and my father. Mr. Cleveland
was always on very friendly terms
with them, and Mrs. Cleveland was
lovely to them. They just worshiped
her and would have given their lives
for her or the children or the Presi-
dent, either, for that matter. Mr..
Cleveland gave them many souvenirs
and valuable tokens Of his esteem.

Made Public Several
Months Ago.
Such School as Is Proposed Is
Needed.

The proposition for the establishing
of a seminary at Kenmore which the
Methodist Episcopal conference in ses.
sion at New Philadelphia is to act
upon, is the same as was prepared
for presentation to that body several
months ago. In substance 1t is that
go acres Of land for site will be
donated by four Akron men and two
other men will guarantee to raise $780,
900 on an endowment of 100000.
Rev. j. S. Rutledge will urge the
Conference to accept the proposition.
The site offered is Mount Kenmore.
No more beautiful spot could be
chosen. The desirability of having a
Protestant school similar to the con-
vents of the Catholic church has al
ways been a matter for serious con-
sideration along all church men.

when President Mckinley came in
to office he formed great liking for
Geo. w. Foster, who was then a clerk
in the Secret Service Bureau. He was
a big, handsome fellow, and quick
and ready to oblige. He has been
with the President almost continuous
ly. Mr.. Mckinley caused us some
worry because he went about in Wash
ington more than Mr.. Cleveland did.
He often rode horseback and went
driving alone. Foster is the only man
who was regularly employed as the
Presidents bodyguard, but whenever
he went travelling, Secret Ser
vice men, along the route
were detailed to meet his
party and aid Foster In any way.
For instance, Sam Ireland, one of the
men with the President when he was
shot, was especially detailed from the
Rochester headquarters, and Gal
lagher the third Secret Service man,
was sent on from Chicago. At the
time of the shooting Mr.. Milburn was
in the place beside the President which
should have been occupied by Foster.
and the passing line OF men and wo.
mon were between Foster and the
President. The two other Secret Ser
vice men were back of the President.
l think it was the first time that
President Mckinley had ever had
bodyguard Of three" NJ.

The commissioners are not compelled by
the act to make the appropriation but
can do so. In view of the fact that the
city has always been in a squabble with
the county authorities about caring Tor
the poor the commissioners ought not
to hesitate by making the appropriation.
The bill requires that the police matroE
