picious character giving his name as
Samuel Swenyon was held up by the
secret service officers at Sycamore
Hill while making an effort to see the
president. He was turned back to the
village, shadowed, stopped in Oyster
Bay and searched and later placed on
a train for New York. He was un-
armed, and appeared to be harmless
crank. possibly a religious fanatic.
Swenyon, who has a strongly for

the roadway leading to Sycamore Hill.
He was shabbily attired, his clothes
being badly torn in several places. He
was stopped by a secret service officer
and said he lived at the Sayszerry
Hotel, New York city. His only object
in coming to oyster Bay. he said, was
to see Sycamore Hill and the presi-
dent. about whom he had heard and
read a great deal. After examining
him thoroughly the officers were con
vinced 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.
At no time did he appear to be ex'
cited, except when one Of the officers
at Sycamore Hill told him that II he
returned he was liable to be shot

SOCIETY ATTACKS
: SCHOOL BOOKS
Medical Men Say Those Pre-
pared by the w. c. 7. u.
Are the Worst
CONTAIN NUMEROUS ERRORS

York, Pa. Sept 23.-The annual
meeting of the Pennsylvania State
Medical Society began here and will be
in session until and Including tomor-
row. A feature of the first days ses-
sion was the report of the committee
on school text books, which discussed
frankly the controversy with the w. c.
T. U. on the subject of alcoholic liquors
and tobacco The committee reported
that it had in four years published re-
views of 81 text books and that dozen
more remain to be reviewed. The re-
views are published from time to time
in the Pennsylvania Medical Journal,
and the committee requested that it be
continued for one year that 1t might
finish its work.
For some years the W. G. T. u. has
advocated the use in all public schools
of text books on physiology that should
set forth very strongly the injurious,
almost deadly. effect of alcohol on the
human system, using therein the word
poison" as a synonym for all spiritu
Gus drinks. In many schools such
books as have been prepared under the
supervision of the W. c. T. U. are al
ready in use and other books have been
prepared by the total abstinence peo-
pie for the purpose Of teaching the
young that alcohol and tobacco in any
form or quantity are deadly poisons.
In general the committee says of the
school text books on physiology and
hygiene that they contain many errors
and much misleading information and
very serious omissions. THE books as
a whole cannot be recommended. al
though some few are good. We are
sorry to be compelled to say that the
books supervised by the Women's s
Christian Temperance Union commit
tee are the most reprehensible."
The committee quotes from an arti-
Gle by Mary H. Hunt to show that the
w. c. T. u. believes that temperance
should be the chief topic in these
books" whereas the committee of The
medical society believes that the books
should treat of physiology and
hygiene, giving full and truthful infor-
nation as to the nature and effects OF
alcohol and tobacco, but making these
subservient to the general subjects. II
the object of the women's committee is
the teaching of prohibition then lei
them openly and honorably designate
their books by truthful titles and moi
resort to the contemplate method oil
using a scientific term to cloak an
ethical principle"
Replying to a pamphlet issued by
the w. G. T. u. the committee notes
that 30 of its suggestions are TO bs
adopted and criticises the indiscrimi
nate use of the word poison" as ap.
piled to all forms Of alcoholics, say.
ing, 1T is evident to any fair-mindeC
observer that while a grain of strych
MIA is poison, the one-hundredth par
thereof is not. 1t is absurd to teacl
that cider. beer, wine, etc, in any dos
is poison, whereas we all know tha
a tumbler of pure alcohol is. This il
but the morbid expression of fanatic
who are guided by zeal rather than wis
DOM"
In conclusion the committee recon-
mends that a committee be appointe,
to consider the advisability of state su
pervision Of the school text books per
tanning to anatomy. physiology, by
giene and allied subjects,
