ARRESTED AT SYCAMORE.
Suspicious-Looking Man Taken by
Secret Service Guards.

An Oyster Bay dispatch Of last night fol-
name as Samuel Swenyon, was held up
by the secret service officers at Sycamore
Hill late this afternoon, while making an
effort to see the President He was turned
back to the village, Swallowed, stopped in
Oyster Bay and searched, and later placed
on a train for New York. He was I'M
armed and appeared to be a harmless
crank. possibly religious fanatic.
Swenyon. who is a slightly built man
about thirty-five years old, with a reddish
brown beard and mustache, blue eyes, and
strongly foreign cast of countenance,
walked up the roadway leading to Saga
more Hill about 4:3O this afternoon. He
was shabbily attired. his clothes being
badly torn in several places. He was
stopped by a secret service officer.
Swenyon told the officer that he was a
Swede, and had come from New York to
see the President and Sycamore Hill, hav-
ing read about the Presidents summer
home in the newspapers A short time
before the President, accompanied by
Mrs. Roosevelt, had gone from the house
to the woods near by to chop wood, that
being a favorite exercise of his.
The man was turned back by the officer,
who told him the President was not at
home Swenyon, who said he was a gar
dener. looked curiously about the grounds
and then started on his return to thSrillage
He was followed by another officer in one
of the Presidents road wagons. Swenyon
asked passing driver for a ride and rode
into the village with him. He had scarcely

On piece Of paper he wrote his name

He said he lived at the Sayszerry Hotel,

to Oyster Bay. he said, was to see Saga
more Hill and the President, about whom
he had heaEd and read a great deal. He
arrived here on the $40 train this after
noon. but did not have a return ticket to
New York. After examining him thorough
ly, the officers were convinced that he was
entirely harmless and that he was neither
an anarchist nor a socialist. He readily
acceded to the suggestion of the officers
that he leave the village They accompanied
him to the station and he bought his own
ticket to New York. He left on the 6:O7
train. shaking hands with the officers be-

AT no time did he appear to be excited.
