WANTED TO ADVISE
WITH PRESIDENT
CRAZY MAN is ARRESTED AT THE
WHITE HOUSE AND IN HIS
POCKET is FOUND A LOADED
REVOLVER.

Washington, February 22-Edward
Relgar, who gave his address as 271 South
Clark street. Chicago, was arrested at
the White House today and locked up
pending an inquiry into his mental con-
dition. Relgar Is evidently Of unbalanced
mind. He has written many letters to the
President, suggesting that people be
named In accordance with their occupa-
lions. Thus he maintains that dealer
In wood should be named Wood, 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 may be ended only by the
adoption of his suggestion. For many
weeks the secret service officers have
been on the lookout for him, and when he
appeared today he was promptly placed
in custody. Relgar desired to see the Pres
ident to ascertain why his letters had not
been answered. When he was searched
loaded revolver and a box of cartridges
were found In his pockets.
The officers had no difficulty In getting
him away from the White House. He was
taken to the police headquarters where he
was turned over to the authorities. Relgar
says he Is miner and railroad man.
He arrived here Saturday, An examna-
ton of his effects disclosed several let
ters he had written to the President and
some documents showing that he was in-
terested In patent devices.

MIR. Presidential is the dearest WISH
of myself and of everybody connected

or that can come to man.
viii Spread and Multiply.
'.And we hope and believe that these
flowers that you have planted will multi
ply and spread over the country, adding
to its beauty and value as your life has
and must continue to do
Both the President and Mrs. Roosevelt

mons and thanked him for his kindly SEN
timents.
The spades used in today's ceremony
will be preserved in the White House. On
the blades of each will be painted scene
of the tree planting, and legend In

setting of the trees. They thus will form
permanent record of the ceremony.

HOAR WILL VOTE
FOR HE TREATY
Continued from First Pase)

---->>---->-
Mr.. Hoar expressed his confidence in the
wisdom and courage of the President, .
saying that he had no secrets from the
people, and adding: I'VE approve of what
he has done already and what he has
promised to do
Passing to the more immediate consid-
Grafton of the treaty Mr.. Hoar said that
the independence of Panama is an estab-
Iished fact, and all that the senate has to
do is to deal with the treaty on Its merits.
Speaking of the Presidents action in
regard to the recognition of new gov
ernment, Mr. Hoar repeated from
speech made few weeks ago to the Ell
feet that he did not believe much infor-
nation could be had from Panama relat-
ing to the information of the new repub-
lie. and he added that 1t was well known
TO the President when he acted that he
could get no more information If he wait
ed a year.
Repeating his intention of supporting
the treaty. Mr.. Hoar said he believed the
ratification would be accomplished with
out any faint of national dishonor, and
he experienced the satisfaction of feeling
that he had done something to put tho
transaction on that level.
Complains Of Foraker's Speech.
In the course of his remarks Mr. Hoar
made complaint of the speech made by
Mr.. Foraker in criticism of his previous
address, and when Mr.. Hoar concluded
Mr.. Foraker. in reply, said that IL he
had. on the former occasion, misunder-
stood Mr. Moar he was not the only sem
ator who had done so. He referred to
the speech made previously by Mr.. Cor
man in which the latter had highly COM
mended Mr. Hoar's speech. Whether Mr..
German properly. interpreted the speech
the record must testify and Mr.. Foraker
quoted passages from Mr.. Hoar's former
speech in justification Of his interpreta-
ton.
Mr.. Foraker referred to the fact that
Mr. Hoar, in his first speech. had quot
ed number of official kilograms bear
ing on the situation in Panama declaring
that the conclusion that the United
States had encouraged the Panama reyo-
luton and then had taken the spoils.

The committee on postoffices and post
roads of congress has Incorporated In the
general postoffice appropriation bill a
provision for the payment of $4,000 to
the Southern railway for. the maintenance
of the fast mail service between WASH
ington and New Orleans. The sum was
originally $4,000. but this was cut down
by the last congress. The item may be
opposed in the house, but It is not thought
the appropriation is In any danger. as the
great benefit of the fast mail service is
generally realized.

Mr.. Culom followed with a carefully
prepared address In support of the treaty,
reviewing the circumstances leading to
the negotiation of the agreement Speak
ing of Colombias attitude of the Hay
Herran treaty he said 1t had been a great
blunder. He quoted official papers to
show that neither the United States nor
Colombia could have been surprised at
the secession of Panama and argued that
the American administration being thus
warned could not have done less than
to be prepared for It.
No Part In Revolt.
1t had been definitely determined that
no official of the United States had any
part in the isthman revolt. Mr.. Cullom
also contended for the regularity of the
Presidents recognition of the republic of
Panama as he did of the part taken by
the United States forces at the time of
the uprising. MT. tulloln ALSO conlenutu

right of Panama to secede and form a
