ARMED CRANK ARRESTED
At THE WHITE HOUSE
Desired to Learn Why the Presi-
dent Had Not Answered
His Letters.
WANTED NAMES CHANGED

WASHINGTON. Feb. 22.-Edward Rel
gar, who gave his address as 27l South
Clark street, Chicago. was arrested at the
White House to-day and locked up pending
an inquiry into his mental condition.
Relgar evidently is of unbalanced mind.
He has written many letters to the Presi-
dent suggesting that people be named in
accordance with their occupations Thus,
he maintains that a dealer in woods should
be named Wood, carpenter should be
named Carpenter. and so on, throughout
the list of names. He says the present
scheme of naming people has caused a war
among the flies, which may be ended only
by the adoption of his suggestion.
For many weeks the secret service Off
GERS have been on the lockout for him and
when he appeared to-day he was promptly
placed in custody. Relgar desired to see
the President to ascertain why his letters
had not been answered When he was
cartridges were found In his pockets The
officers had no difficulty in getting him
away from the White House. He was
taken to police headquarters where he was
turned over to the authorities
Relgar says he is a miner and railroad
man. He arrived here Saturday night and
engaged a room on Louisiana avenue An
examination of his effects disclosed copies
of several letters he had written to the
President and some documents indicating
that he was interested in patent devices.

INDIANAPOLIS MAY Be
CHOSEN BY POPUu|STS
Convention of the Party Will Be
Held Either Here or in Spring
field, ILL.,, at Early Date.
WILL BE FINED TO-DAY

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 22.-The national con-
vention of the Allied Peoples party will be
held either in indianapolis. Ind, or Spring
field, H., this having been determined on
tonight at the meeting of the national
committees here.
The national committee of the middle
of-the-road'' wing. of which Jo A. Parker
of Louisville, KY, is chairman, met in the
Southern Hotel to-day and the fusionist
national committee of which j. H. Edmis-
ton, of Lincoln, Neb., is chairman, met in
the st. Johns Hotel. The sessions con-
tinued late tonight, and committees from
both national committees were frequently
in conference The fusonists desired to
hold the convention in ST Louis about the
time Of the national Democratic convention
I'm July, but the middle-of- the-road wing
was equally determined in the opinion that
the convention should be held outside of St
Louis and prior TO the national Democratic
convention.
The fusionists finally conceded the uues-
tion of a meeting place. and il was de-
cided tonight to hold the national conven-
ton either in indianapolis or Springfield.
Agreement on the date OF the convention
and selection OF one of the two cities
named are 10 be settled Tomorrow

VICEROY ALEXIEFF
ARRIVES At HARBIN

YIN-KOW, Feb. 22.-Viceroy Alexieff and
his full staff have just arrived at Earbin.
where headquarters has been established
Viceroy Alexieff left Port Arthur last
Saturday. Before leaving he handed over
the command of the navy to Vice Admiral
Stark.
Harbin, which is called the Moscow OF
Asia, is located on the Sungari river. where
the Manchurian spur OF the Siberian Rail-
road crosses, and where the Chinese east
ern branch stretches south to Dalny and
Port Arthur. II is $50 miles west OF vladi-
vostok and about GOO miles north OF Port
Arthur, the geographical center OF Man
churia. Surrounding the city. spreading
out on ali sides for hundreds OF miles. lies
an extremely fertile agricultural country.
yielding corn, wheat. oats, barley. beans.
millet, hemp, tobacco, vegetables and vari-
Gus fruits: there are also vast tracts OF
timber and mineral lands, and stretches OF
grazing country. The place is now divided
into the old town, some few miles from
the central depot Preston, the river town
and present commercial center, and the ad-
ministration town, in close proximity to
the railroad station. The whole town OF
Harbin Mr. Miller calls a Russian product,
nonexistent before the advent OF the rail-
road engineers. The city was created by
the Russian government. under the SUPER
vision OF the Manchurian Railway Com
pany.
An idea Of the rapid growth OF Harbin
may be gathered from a few statistics.
Four years ago the town began TO assume
shape; in 1901 the population had grown
to 1900 Russians; by 1902 it jumped to 9O.-
600; by May Of last year IL more than
doubled itself: and five months later the
census showed a population OF 6o.OOo. not
counting soldiers. over 9S per cent. Of these
are Russians; 900 are japanese. and 900
more include Austrians. Greeks. Turks ana
Germans Harbin has no Americans.
Located in a special settlement lives the
Chinese population OF more than 1000.
The employees of the railway company with
their families contribute 1900 more 10 the
sum total. At the present time il would
be conservative to estimate the aggregate
population at 125OcO. The ratio OF women
to men is as follows: Japanese. 10 per
cent; Russians. A per cent; Chinese, Is
per cent; general average OF women. lL3
per cent.
Harbn is the headquarters OF TIE civil
courts and the chief military post. and the
point of control OF the great army or rail-
way guards. Ihe city, therefore, contains
the principal administration buildings and
the residences OF the officials and employees
of the ManChurian Railway Company. The
outlay for administrative purposes on the
city alone has mounted already TO the
OF thirty million rubles, or about fifteen and
one-half millions OF United States dollars.
To mention but few OF the other promi-
nent structures, a RussO-Chinese bank. a
hotel a technical school. hospitals. COM
mercial and girls school. a club and store
for employees and eight schools for teach
ing Russians Chinese and for teaching
Chinese Russian have been erected al a
cost of between 100000 and 100000 rubles.

THREATEN TO
BOYCOTT CHICAGO
Toint Scale Committee VIII Hold
Session at Springfield to Avoid
Annoyance.

CHICAGO, Feb. 22.-Before adjourning to-
day, the United Mine Workers Union of
Illinois conferred with the operators and
appointed a joint scale committee. This
body will meet at Springfield, ILL.,, after
the joint conference at indianapolis fixes
the scale for the so-called competitive
States. The meeting place of the conven-
ton has been changed to Springfield, ow-
ing. it is claimed, to the unwarranted in
terference of the Chicago unions with the
work of the Miners Union. The miners
claim that ever since they convened here
last week they have been annoyed by the
protests of the local unions TO the effect
that they were patronizing nonunion estab-
lishments. In one case they were asked to
change their hotel because two nonunion
walters were employed in the place. The
miners say that they will boycott Chicago
as IA convention city until conditions have
been changed.

SEVERAL ARRESTS MADE
IN THE RUNYAN MURDER
Police Are Devoting Most of Their
Attention to William Bowles,
Plymouth Young Man.
THEORIES OF THE CRIME
Special to the indianapolis Journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
SOUTH BEND, Ind, Feb. 22.-The mys-
terry of the William Runyan murder grows
and new theories are being advanced to
explain the killing of the well-known drug
gist The entire police department. the
Lake Shore detectives and the police Of
Mishawaka, Elkhart, Goshen, Laporte and
Niles are working on the case. Although
the officers refuse to talk it is positively
known that at least three and possibly
five men have been arrested and placed in
the county jail. Against one of these sus-
poets. William Bowles, a member of a we'll
known and respected family of Plymouth,
Ind, the police and newspaper men have
succeeded in piling up mass OF evidence
and ii is expected the circumstances con-
Meeting him with the murder will be such
as to warrant formal charge.
The murder which took place Saturday
night was witnessed by only one man, Murl
Gilman, and he was so excited that he can
give no information further than that Run
van was shot by an unknown man after
the two had engaged in a desperate strug-
gle. of which he did not see the beginning.
his attention having been attracted TO the
store by Runyan's cries for help
OF the several theories advanced in the
attempts to explain the murder three are
being carefully investigated by the police.
They are That the shooting followed an
attempted hold-up: that Runyan killed
by a person with whom he had differences
over a woman and who was seeking re-
venge; that Runyan refused TO sell whisky
to an intoxicated man and in his attempt
to put him out of the store was killed. OF
these theories the first is considered the
most probable.
When Bowles was arrested he was excit-
ed and unable to give a satisfactory ac-
count of himself 1t is known that he was
in the Runyan drug store during the week
and that he had told the proprietor that
he was going TO quit his job with a local
firm. He knew Runyan carried a large sum
of money on his person, he had seen him
make change for the cash. 1t is also known
that Bowles was lettering in the vicinity
of the Runyan store during the afternoon
of Saturday.

MRS, HARRISON SUFFERS
AN ATTACK OF MEASLES
Disease, in Virulent Form, Seizes
.Well-Known Woman, and
Alarm Was Felt.
CONDITION IS IMPROVED

Mrs. Mary Lord Harrison, widow of ex
President Harrison, is recovering from an
attack of the measles that almost reached
the dangerous type. Twelve days ago she
was taken i'll with what was thought to be
a mild form of the disease but which de-
velcped into a case of the very worst form.
Mrs. Harrisons condition was alarming to
the attending physician and friends, but
now the patient is out of danger.
DR.. George Kahlo said last night that
Mrs. Harrison has been suffering with the
worst case of measles of any that he has
attended this year. He said, however, that
she was resting very easily just now. Mrs.
Harrison's sister, Mrs. Parker, has been
notified and will arrive from the Philippines
within a week
Mrs. Harrison contracted the disease
from one of the little children of one of
the members of the Harrison family.
