CRANK REACHES THE PRESIDENT
WITH ALLEGED CANCER CURE

New York, November 2S.-President
Roosevelt came to New York to-day to
attend the funeral of James King Gra-
Gle, whose late wife was sister of the
Presidents mother. During the five
hours he was in the city he was sur
rounded by several hundred policemen
and a number of special officers, but
an apparently harmless crank man
aged to elude their vigilance and hand
to the President letter regarding
panacea which he claims he has dis
covered. The letter was given to one
Of the special officers, and the man,
who gave his name as A. P. Deming Of
$50 Broadway, was taken by the police
to court, where he talked wildly. The
interview came as the President was
leaving the church. Mrs. Roosevelt was
much agitated over the occurrence, but
the President was not at all alarmed.
Just as the services were concluded
man who attempted to force his way
to the President and hand him a letter,
was arrested. He gave his name as
Arthur P. Deming sixty-three years of
born in the United States and was the
cry disease. When the President left
his seat to leave the church he de-
parted by a side entrance leading to
Twentieth street. Deming had in some
way been allowed to gain access to a
small ante-room, and in that manner
was directly in the Presidents path
way.
Deming said later:
Il handed the President the letter
and said, Please read this on your way

President took it and handed 1t to a

FORT COLLINS
SUGAR FACTORY

Denver, Nov. 2S.-A Fort Collins dis
patch to the Republican says:
Mechanics and workmen are putting
on the finishing touches to the Fort
Collins sugar manufacturing plant. and
in a few days the factory will be In OPP
Grafton. The plant Is modern through
out and up to date in every particular,
being equipped with the latest and
most improved sugar machinery ana
appliances, including the Steffens proc
ess for reducing beet sugar molasses to
sugar. Experts say the Fort Collins
factory is the largest and best equipped
plant that has ever been built In the
United States. 1t will have guaran-
teed capacity of 1900 tons Of beets
day.
The factory will open its first cam
paign with nearly $4,000 tons OF beets
on hand piled up in the yards and
sheds. necessitating steady run OF
seventy days. Three hundred men will
be employed at the factory during this
time and about $4,000 pounds Of sugar
will be produced.
The good weather that has prevailed
during the past week has enabled the
farmers to get out the 5eets that were
left in the ground when the freeze
came a week ago last Tuesday, and 1t
is expected that by tonight the entire
crop will be dug. From 1000 to 1000
tons Of beets have been coming into
the factory by rail and wagon every
day during the last week. The sugar
company will pay out this year about
$360.000 for sugar beets.

house that Mr.. Baker went to Santiago
in search of material for a magazine
article. A meeting was arranged be-
tween the men and dinner followed,
testified Major Runcie. at which they
discussed the plan to have published an
article which would exploit the success
of General Wood in dealing with af-
fairs at Santiago, and draw a compar-
ison with the situation at Havana un-
favorable to the administration of Cen
eral Brooke.
Major Runcie declared that General
Wood asked him to write the article,
and that he had done so. The article
was given to Baker and published in
February, 1900. over the name of Ma
jor Runcie. He asserted that General
Wood knew what the article contained
and that they had correspondence
about it as a result of the fever cre-
ated by its publication. He offered to
produce copies of letters which he had
written to General Wood concerning
his own defense. 1t was not until after
General Wood succeeded General
Brooke that-the article was published.
The effect was a severance Of the
relations between the witness and Cen

cording to his testimony, has been

heard Major James E. Runcie of Ha-

witness that will be offered by the op-

their attempt to prevent his confirm
alton to be major general.
Major Runcie was on the stand sew

Major Runcie was stopped more than
once during the course of his testi-
mony and told to give nothing but
facts of which he had personal knowl-
edge. This did not exclude the story
of the dinner incident, which resulted
in the issue of subpoenas for three
other witnesses, among whom is Gen
eral Brooke.

planned that he had acted as the con-
fidential adviser of General Wood for
nearly two years and that they had

pushed back and placed under arrest.
He said he was A. P. Deming of 150
Broadway and that he had q cure for
cancer which he wished Emperor Will
liam to try. He wanted President
Roosevelt to write a letter to the EN-
peror recommending the cure. Deming
was taken to the Tombs Police Court.
Before being arraigned, he said:

not keep my letter instead of handing
it over to policeman. 1t Is charcoal
cancer cure that cannot fail. wanted
President Roosevelt to write to EN-
peror William recommending 1t to
him."
1t is said that Deming is the man
who, May 10. 1900. appeared at the
House of Representatives in Washing
ton, and startled the House by sudden
ly shouting from the gallery:
Halt, order, by the grace of the
Lord, listen!" and then, having secured
the desired attention, proceeded to
make a speech to that branch Of the
United States Congress. Three or four
policemen finally hustled him away
and escorted him outside the building.
1t is also said that last April he ap-
peared at the White Star Line pier as
j. P. Morgan, Andrew Carnegie and
others were sailing on the Cedric, and
preached a sermon to them.
Deming was committed to Bellevue
hospital for examination as to his san
ity. He told the magistrate ram
bling story, in which he said that he
was in the clothing business in Oak
land, California, for twelve years, but
that for the last twenty-one years he
had been in New York and vicinity,
He said he had met every President,

Three Chief omenders.

In his memorandum on the postofiice
frauds. President Roosevelt Gays that
the three chief offenders in the govern
ment service were James M. Tyner. as
sistant attorney general for the POST
ofnce Department; A. w. Machen, gen.
eral superintendent Of the free delivery
system, and George w. Beavers, gen.
eral superintendent of salaries and al
1owances. He goes on to say:
"The friends Of Tyner have ad-
vanced the theory that in his case the
chief offender was really his nephew by
marriage. Barrett, who was his assist
ant In the Office for part of the time.
and that Tyner's offenses are due to his
falling bodily and mental powers. The
facts set forth in Mr.. Bristow's report
do not tend to substantiate the validity
OF these excuses for Tyner. while they
show literally astounding misconduct
in Barrett. For Machen and Beavers
no excuse OF any kind has been alleged.
In the case Of Metcalf, the superinten-
dent OF the money-Order system, the
most vigorous protests were at first
made on his behalf by a large num-
ber OF reputable citizens, and also by
others who were at the time deemed
reputable. but who 1t has since been
discovered were proflting by Metcalf's
misconduct. One of them has been in
dicted in connection with him. When
these investigations were begun, some
nine months ago, many OF the chief
Offenders who have been indicted or
dismissed, or both, as above enumer-
ated. were considered to have excel
lent regulations. A number OF the
most respectable people in the land Of
fered voluntary testimony on behalf Of
Mr.. Tyner. So highly were Messrs.
Beavers and Machen thought Of by
those who had been brought into close
connection with them that the Con-
gress actually provided at its last ses-
sion for raising the salaries OF both,
the salary in each case being increased
$500. to take effect at the beginning Of
the fiscal year on July 1st last.
But that date they were both out OF
Office, and the department OF justice
was taking steps to have them tndict-
ed. During Machen's term of service
he was twice Investigated by the Con-
gress. once by committee OF the Sen
ate and once by a committee Of the>
House. but cleared on each occasion.
Yet at that very period. as has been
shown in the present investigation, he
was engaged in the corrupt business
for which he has now been removed
and indicted. This is no reflection upon
The committees who conducted the in
vesdgation; for so skillfully had Mach
en- concealed his wrongdoing that It
was only revealed after months OF la
borious and exhaustive work by
trained inspectors"
