CRANK AT OYSTER BAY

He Went In An Automobile.
Oyster Bay, l.. l.. Sept. 21.-A man
who is regarded by the secret service
officers and by the authorities of Oyster
Bay as a dangerous crank. was appre-
hended here. He is j. E. Reeves. a me-
dium-sized, roughly attired man about
40 years of age. He was making his
way to Sycamore Hill when he was ar
rested. He told Officer Tyree, who ap-
pretended him. that he wanted to see
the president on important business
Believing from the mans manner that
he was insane. Officer Tyree took him
before Justice Franklin for examina-
ton. To the justice Reeves said that
six years ago he died in a Jersey City
hospital and went to heaven in an au-
tomobile. While there he received an
important message for President
Roosevelt. which he was directed to
deliver personally He refused to say
what the nature of the message was
and declared he could communicate ii
to nobody but the president. He de-
clared to the justice, however. that he
had written a book on his experiences
in heaven. which he desired to have
published, as he was satisfied millions
could be made out OF 1t. The president,
he said. undoubtedly wonld join with
him in securing the publication of the
work, and that was one reason why he
wished to have talk with him.

Mr.. Herrick Is essentially a compro

the Kings county organization. headed

leadership of Charles F. Murphy.
The platform adopted includes a
direct personal attack upon Governor

FUNERAL OF BASIL HARDING
Farmer of Prominence, Who Commit.
ted Suicide Sunday.
al Correspondence of The Evening Star


LAUREL, Md, May 49, 1904.
Funeral services were held yesterday af-
ternoon at Emanuel Methodist Episcopal
Church South, near Scaggsvtile Howard
county. over the remains of Mr. Basil Hard
ing, farmer, who committed suicide early
Sunday morning.
Mr.. Harding was sixty-two years of age
His wife and seven children survive him
1t was stated that the deceased had been
slightly i'll of late, but was not compelled
to take to his bed. His neighbors II liz
preyed on his mind. as he is said to have
expressed wish to die. But little atten-
ton was paid to this expressed wish how.
ever and 1T was practically forgotten.
Early Sunday morning the members of his
family were startled by hearing the loud
report of a gun. Investigation resulted I'm
the finding of the body of Mr. Harding with
nearly the whole of the top of his head
blown off. ..,s = ,....-..
From the character of the wound il 10
thought he placed the barrel of his revolver
just behind the right ear. The bullet plowed
through the bone, and passing through
the brain, tore off a large portion OF the
upper part of the skull.
No reason can be ascribed by members OF
Mr. Hardng's family for the rash act, ex-
cepting that his illness produced temporary
insanity and that while in this condition
he ended his life.
Mr.. Harding had been resident of How
ard county for many years, and was
highly respected citizen He was closely
identified with Emanuel Methodist Church,
and took an active interest in religious Of
fairs The deceased possessed valuable
farm near Scaggsville, Howard county.

Vigorous Attack on Virginia School.

dispatch from Richmond, Va, says:
The initial meeting of the state Episcopal
council here yesterday was enlivened by a
discussion of the schools of that denomi-
nation in Virginia. Bishop Robert A. Glib
son presided over the deliberations of the
body The discussion of schools came up
on a memorial from the Virginia Female
Institute at Staunton, requesting the coun-
ell to approve it's efforts to raise $4,000 to
retire a bonded debt and to erect new build
ings. The memorial was vigorously OPP
posed by Carter Wexford, who declared
that, so far from adopting it, the council
should reject it and sell its interest in the
school, and devote all its energies to up
building the Episcopal Seminary at Alex
andria. Mr.. Wexford said the Staunton
school is fashionable" charging high
prices. The statement was further made
that such things were driving poorly paid
Episcopal clergymen out of the state.
