DOES PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
CARRYA GUN FOR ANARCHISTS?

NEW YORK. Sept. PA special to
the Sun from Washington says. Pres
ident Roosevelt has been criticised by
some who are straining for a chance to
unfavorably compare his conduct in
public and private matters with that
of his predecessor for declaring that
he will not at all times be surrounded
by visible guards belonging to the
Secret Service or members OF the local
police force. The Presidents declara-
ton is called "bravado and reckless
ness" His critics profess to regard it
as another illustration of his restless,
aggressive egotism.
Roosevelt has expressed his mind
fully on this subject since Mckinley
was shot, and he is not at all averse to
having his view thoroughly understood.
He thinks that guards are necessary
about the person of the president on
public occasions or when he is attend
ing large crowds, but he will not toler-
ate their presence when going about or
binary business or social duties. When

KING EDWARDS
SINCERE SYMPATHY

LONDON, Sept. Fixing Edward re-
ceived the United States ambassador,
Mr.. Choate in audience at Marlborough
House today, and personally renewed to
him his expressions of deep sympathy
and coincidence with Mrs. Mckinley and
the American people, already expressed
in his kilograms at the time of Presi-
dent McKinley's assassination.
Mr.. Choate left with the King let
ter as follows:
II desire to express in person my sim
cere appreciation of Your Majesty s
constant sympathy with Mrs. Mckinley
and the American people in their dis
tress and bereavement, and the pro-
found thanks Of my countrymen for
this unfailing interest"
The audience was strictly private.
No one else was present in the India
room, where it was held.
A representative of the Associated
Press learns that the King was most
cordial in his remarks, expressing warm
regard for America and Americans.
His Majesty received the news Of the
attack on President Mckinley at the
second station from KEEL, and was deep
ly affected, members of the King s
encourage say, and personally wrote
message to Mrs. Mckinley.

Roosevelt went horseback riding last
Saturday with General Leonard Wood
it was plainly noticeable that the latter
had big army pistol in his hip pocket.
While there have been no visible signs
that President Roosevelt goes about
similarly equipped for trouble, there is
good reason for believing that he Is
prepared to defend himself.
Government officials do not agree
with Roosevelt. They believe no pre-
cautions can be too great for the pro-
lection of the Chief Executive of the
Nation in view of three assassinations
since the Civil War.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.-President
Roosevelt took a two hours outing
late yesterday afternoon, driving out
with Colonel Sanger, Assistant Secre-
tary of War, at o'clock. The President
returned alone about o'clock and on
foot, the dust on his shoes giving EVIL
dence of the fact that he had walked
over country roads. After dining, a
quiet evening was spent at the White
House in company with Richard Wat
son Glider of New York and another
friend.

DEATH OF JUDGE
JERE M. WILSON
He Was father.in,Law of Former
Consul General
Haywood.

WASHINGTON, Sept. A.-Judge ]. NJ.
Wilson, senior counsel for Admiral
Schley, is dead.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.-The funeral
services over remains of the late J. III.
Wilson, chief counsel for Admiral Schley,
were held at the Church of the Covenant
this afternoon. The church was filled
with a representative audience, including
many persons prominent in official life.
The Rev. DR.. Hamlin read the burial
service of the Presbyterian church and
briefly extolled the virtues of the dead.
Interment was in Oak Hill Cemetery.
Judge Wilson was father-in-law of
former Consul General Haywood, now
resident agent at Washington of the Ha-
waiian Planters Association A recent
issue of Philadelphia paper contained
the following anecdote of the lamented
lawyer:
Judge Jere Wilson, one of the counsel
for Admiral Schley, is known to be in
the foremost rank of lawyers at the ma
tional capital, where he has been identi-
fed with numerous important cases that
have attracted attention during the past
quarter of a century. He Is a keen read
er of human nature, and studies a jury
with the same care he bestows on the
preparation of his case.
Some years ago he was defending
contractor who was accused of defraud-
ing the government. and as the case de-
veloped the law and the testimony seem
ed to be closing around his client. The
prosecutor, anticipating victory, was
elated. and the presiding judge could
scarcely conceal his satisfaction. But
when Wilson made his appeal to the
jury, no calendared saint wore a bright
er crown of glory than that with which
he invested his client
The judges charge was not suspicious
for the defendant. but the jury remained
out surprisingly short time.
I'VE find the defendant not guilty"
they reported.
Judge and prosecutor were astonished.
The judge, addressing the defendant,
said: Though it is my painful duty to
discharge you, cannot refrain from
congratulating you upon having retained
so eloquent an advocate"
Turning to the jury, the Court added:
But it gives me pleasure to discharge
you. for a more uncomfortable jury
never dragged verdict through a tenn
pie of iustice!

BRlGANDS STILL
HAVE MISS STONE

CONSTANTINOPLE, Thursday, Sept.
26.-The Rev. Mr.. Haskell, a missionary
at Samakov (Bulgaria), has received a
letter from Miss Helen II. Stone, the
American missionary, who was carried
off by brigands, September 9Th, in the
District of Djumabala. It does not
reveal the whereabouts of Miss Stone
but says she is in good health and has
been well treated by the brigands, es-
pecially in the earlier stages of the alb
duction. Latterly, in consequence OF
the vigorous pursuit of Turkish troops,
she had been subjected to privations
Miss Stone adds that the brigands de-
mand a ransom of $4,000 Turkish
pounds. The opinion is expressed in
ConstantinopIe that the Bulgaro- Mace
DOMAIN committee was actively concern
ed in the abduction of the missionary.

chinese and Their Claims.

The Court of Fire Claims broke the
record yesterday, disposing of over 16o
Chinese claimants. One claimant,
woman, had hard time identifying
her husbands claim. He had three
names, and Clerk Riggs had difficulty
In ascertaining which one the claim
had been made in. Finally the inter-
prefer explained this mixture of Chi
nese names by saying that every CHI
naman was given four names, one
when he was born, another during his
school term, third when he went in
to business, and fourth upon his
marriage.
