IS BELGAR INSANE?
Arrested at White House and
Detained Pending Inquiry
As to His Mental Condition Evident.
Iyis Unbalanced.
Man Has Freakish Suggestion Which
He Desires Adopted.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 22-Edward Rel
gar. who gave his address as "a South
Clark street, Chicago, was arrested at
the White House, today, and locked up
pending an inquiry into his mental con-
dition. Relgar evidently is unbalanced.
He has written many letters to the
President suggesting that people be
named in accordance with their Occu-
pations.
Thus he maintains that a dealer in
wood should be named Wood: a car
penter should be named Carpenter, and
so on. throughout the list Of names.
He says that the present scheme Of
naming people has caused war among
the flies which can be ended only by
the adoption of his suggestion.
For many weeks the secret service
officers have been on the outlook for
him and when he appeared, today. he
vas placed in custody. Regar desired
TO see the President to ascertain why
his letters had not been answered.
When he was searched a loaded revolt
yer and a box of cartridges wer found
in his pockets.
TIE officers had no difficulty in get
ting him away from the White House.
He was taken to police headquarters.
where he was turned over to the au-
thOrities. Relgar says he is a miner
and q railroad man. He engaged a
room on Louisiana avenue. An exam
inatiOn of his effects disclosed copies
of several letters he had written to the
President and some documents indicat-
ing that he was Interested i'm a patent.

MAY WAIT THREE MONTHS
Before Japanese Will Begin Aggressive
Operations in Manchuria.

London, Feb 22-The latest advice:
of the Baron Hnyashi, the Japanes'
minister to Great Britain. lead him t,
believe that the Japanese troops may
now wait possibly two or three month
before undertaking aggressive opera
tions in Manchuria. He said:
we have found that Russia is So
unexpectedly unprepared that l shouo
not be surprised if the japanese lane
forces contented themselves with es-
tablishing a thorough organization anc
advancing as the construction Of the
railroad towards the Yalu river pro
crosses. Russia appears to be les.
prepared than was China in 1895. | be
lieve that only three trains a day car
be run through Manchuria. Suppos-
ing these are equally divided between
troops and supplies. as would be nee
essary. Russia could not perceptibly
strengthen her land forces before
April Japan's naval coup has beer
so unexpectedly successful that I rath-
er think our troops Will take their
time. The shallow inlets are now
frozen over. retardng the disembark-
alton of our forces. This is especially
true at Port Arthur. where a near
landing of troops is impossible. owing
to the ice
Baron HayaShi does not credit the
report that 200 Russians have been
killed in an outpost engagement at the
Yalu river. He says there is no Japa-
nese force iii that vicinity large enough
to infict such a loss.
The only naval development Baron
Hayashi expects in the near future is
