ARMED WITH PISTOL
INSANE MAN PERSlSTENTLY De.
MANDS TO SEE PRESIDENT
ROOSEVELT.

Oyster Bay. L. l., Sept. ga man
giving his name as Henry Weilbrenner
was arrested at Sycamore Hill while
making persistent demand to see
President Roosevelt. The man was
armed with a revolver, fully loaded.
He was taken to the village and placed
in the town prison.
Shortly after 10 p. m. Weilbrenner
drove to Sycamore Hill in a phaeton
buggy He was stopped by the secret
service operative on duty. Weilbren-
ner said he had personal engagement
with the president and desired to see
him. AS it was long after the hours
when visitors are received the officer
declined to permit him to go to the
house. The man insisted but the off,
Ger turned him away.
Soon after Weilbrenner returned
and again insisted that he be allowed
to see the president if only for a min
Ute This time he was ordered away
and told not to return.
Just before II o'clock the man re-
turned third time and demanded CT
the officer that he be permitted to see
the president at once. The officers
response was to take the man from
his buggy and put him in the stables,
, where he was placed under the guard
of two stablemen. A revolver was
found in the buggy. Later Weilbren-
ner was brought to the village and
locked up.
Justice Franklin questioned the pris-
oner about his movements the pre-
vious evening. His replies were made
in quiet tone of voice, but they indi-
Gated apparently beyond doubt that
the man is crazy. He said he wanted
to marry Miss Alice Roosevelt.
The examination of Weilbrunner
was continued in the afternoon. Dr..
George A. Stewart and DR.. Irving S.
Barnes conducted the examination.
Wei!brunner was declared by item to
be insane. He was taken to Mineola,
Long Island, on an evening train and
placed in the custody of the county
authorities.

Work Of Extermination Goes Steadily
on in Macedonia.
London, Sept. Especial dispatches
from the near East add little fresh
news regarding the situation in the
Balkans. All the correspondents at
Constantinople emphasize the apparent
danger of war with Bulgaria, while
the Sofa correspondents are equally
ins1stent as to the prudent and cor
rect attitude of Prince Ferdinand and
his government.
Accounts from both Turkish and in
surgent sources Of the operations in
Macedonia show that the work of ex-
termination is proceeding unchecked,
and, although apparently realizing the
danger Of a confagration. the powers
are making some attempt to interfere,
it is believed that nothing Of serious
nature will be done until after the
meeting of the car and Emperor
Francis Joseph at Vienna, when it may
be too late.
The insurgents are now said to num-
Der $4,000 we'll armed and efficiently

nople believe hostilities with Bull

ports everything quiet at Beirut.

WITH TERRIFIC FORCE
Headon Collision Between Electric

Cars Near Pelham, N. Il.
Pelham, N. H., Sept. Through a
headon collision between two cleo
trio care, each running, it is said, at
a rate of more than twenty miles an
hour, four persons were killed and
nineteen so seriously injured that
they are under physicians care and
several of these are expected to die.
AS there were seventy passengers on
the two cars many others received
cuts and minor wounds which did not
prevent their going to their homes.
The accident occurred on the line
which runs through this town between
Lowell and Nashua and one Of the
cars, which was coming from the lat
ter city, was nearly filed with peo-
pie on their way to a summer resort.
The collision was due, according to
the officials of the road, to misun-
derstanding Of the starters orders by
the motorman of the car bound for
Nashua. The car starter endeavored
to rectify this mistake by sending a
man to shut off the power and trying
to recall the Nashua-bound car, but it
failed.
The accident occurred on a curve,
on either side of which we're long
stretches of straight track. The dead
are as follows:
Charles H. Gilbert, fifty years,
Nashua; Gabriel Collett, twenty-five
years. Nashua, N. H.; George c. An

TURKEY rs HELPLESS
CANNOT GUARANTEE SAFETY OF
FOREIGN LEGATIONS At
coNsTANTlNoPLE.

Powers Are So Notified by Porte, Who
DiscIaims in Advance Responsibility
for Any Disorderly Aet-united
States Cruisers Brooklyn and San
Francisco Reach Their Destination
at Beirut, Syria.
Berlin, Sept. 5.-The Turkish gov
eminent, according to information re-
ceived from the foreign Office by the
Associated Press, has notified the
powers that the porte cannot guaran-
tee the safety of the legations at Con-
stantincple.
This extraordinary statement was
communicated, without explanation or
qualifying details, in response to an
inquiry as to whether German marines
were among those United States Min
lister Leishman reported as having
been landed at Constantinople.
It is inferred here, however, that the
conditions at the Turkish capital are
not so bad as the sultan's notification
would imply, but that the legations
have been warned to look out for their
own safety, the porte disclaiming in
advance responsibility for any d1sor-
derby act.
The foreign Office officials admitted
that the German embassy at Constan-
tinople had not reported whether Ger
man marines had been landed, nor
whether marines of any other power
had been landed. Complete Official
reserve is maintained on this point.
Regarded as Acute.
The Associated Press correspondent
learned from sources outside the for
eign Office that the German govern
ment regards Turko-Balkan affairs as
having entered on an acute phase.
The portes inability to take hold OF
the Macedonian instruction is the
worst feature of the situation.
The apparent weakness Of the Turk
ish government is due largely to it's
long Difference toward the powers and
the division in the councils within the
palace, which is regarded here as JUS
tifying the view that Turkey is in
capable of preserving order in her
European provinces unless she is al
lowed an absolutely free hand to deal
with the insurgents as she pleases.
Pressure is being brought to bear on
Russia and Austria on this point, as
a continuance of the crisis, it is as
serted, can only result in the drifting
OF the powers and the porte alike to-
ward fresh dangers.

New York. Sept 4.-The Reliance,
the American cup defender, Thursday
won the third and final race and the
series for that famous sea trophy, the
Americas cup. In dense fog, which
prevented vision beyond 200 yards,
she finished the race at $4,000 amid
the acclamations of the assembled
feet. Shamrock ILL.,, after running for
more than an hour in the fog, missed
the finish line, passed by it and then
returned to it from the opposite d.
rection. AS the Reliance was then
being towed through the feet, the
yachts ensign futtered through her
truck and spreaders in celebration of
the victory. Shamrock III. did not
cross the finish line. AS often sale
of the race since the America won the
trophy there was no second. The re-
suit was achieved only after four fu-
tile attempts to sail off the final race

even by Sir Thomas Upton to be a
