WANTED TO SEE PRESIDENT.
David Frey Placed Under Arrest in
White House Grounds.

Another Of those persons designated by
the police as presidential cranks' was ar
rested in the White House grounds about
noon today while he was inquiring which
door he should enter in order to gain an
audience with President Roosevelt. He
gave his name as David Frey, his age as
sixty years, and said that his home was at
Tippecanoe City, Ohio.
The man was making his way through
the White House grounds, when he APP
preached Park Waterman John Shelly and
asked that he be directed to that part of
the Executive Mansion in which the Pres
ident could be seen. He said that he want
ed to be shown to the nearest door, so that
he would not have much trouble in finding
the chief executive.
Shelly became suspicious of the man and
questioned him as to the nature of his bust
ness.
The visitor said that he arrived here
last night from Tippecanoe City Ohio. and
wanted to see President Roosevelt for the
purpose of being admitted to the Soldiers
Home. He said that he also wanted to see
Secretary of State Hay. to have that. Off
cial use his influence in getting him admit
ted to the home. The man conversed in
broken English. and his actions and CONVEX
sation. which at times drifted far of the
topic. led the Waterman to believe that his
mind was not right.
He was taken into custody and escorted
to the third precinct police station, near the
corner of 21st and X streets northwest
where he is held pending an examination
by the board of police surgeons.
When he reached the station house Frey
said that he was veteran of the civil war
and that someone had stolen his discharge.
He said that he asked some one on the
street where he could get duplicate and
was informed that Secretary of State Hay
could supply him with duplicate paper.
He explained that some one else told
him that the Secretary Of War. was the
proper person TO apply to.
Il didn't know what to do he said. $50
1 concluded that the best thing to do would
be to ask the President about my discharge
VIXEN l asked him to get me into the
Soldiers Home"
The man said that he was a poet and had
a number of papers in his pockets written
in the German language. An examination
of the papers developed that they were on
socialistic and anarchistic subjects.
Frey says he has no relatives in this
country, he being the only one of his family
to come to America. He says he has par
ticular friend in Frank Davis, who resides
at Tippecanoe City, Ohio. The authorities
at. that place will be notified of Freys ar
rest here.

More Post Office Reforms.

One of fhe reforms in post offices which
will be advocated by the Post Office De-
partment is authority by which all clerks
below the designation of foremen shall be
classed in the future simply as clerks. This
will abolish the titles of stampers, mailing
clerks and variety of other subordinate
places whose duties are clerical. and 1t will
enable transfers to be made without the
charge of employees being assigned to duties
other than those to which they are techni-
cally designated.
