WOMAN IN BLUE" APPEARS.
Mysterious and Persistent Visitor to the
President.

The mysterious woman In blue was ar
rested in the White House grounds yester-
day afternoon. Her name is Mrs. Lucy G.
Lee, and her home Is at Manhasset, L. l.
She tried to get to President Roosevelt a
half dozen times at Oyster Bay during the
last summer but each time was prevented.
The secret service people found that she had
left her home last Friday for Washington
and kept her under surveillance from the
time she got off the train here. Saturday
night about 10 o'clock she meandered
around outside the White House grounds
and then entered the Enclosure and talked
with an officer near the front Of the execu-
tive mansion for some time. She did not
make her appearance again near the build
ing until yesterday afternoon
Mrs. Lee Is married and her husband has
made every endeavor to prevent her annoy
ing the White House people, but was unable
to keep her from following the President to
Washington.
Mrs. Lee always dresses in blue with a
light colored short coat but the mystery
about her Is that no one knows why she
wants to see the President. She has never
given an inkling of her business and re-
fuses TO tell any one. The secret service
officials and police have put her through
most careful questioning but she will not
give them any satisfaction. She simply
says that she wants to see the President
and that Is all they can get out of her
She has been returned to her home

TO KEEP HANDS oFF.
Illinois Officials Will Not Interfere
With Insurance Inquiry

CHICAGO, October 10.-A dispatch to the
Tribune from Springfield, Ill, quotes Gov.
Deneen as follows:
AT the present time the Illinois authori-
ties have not the slightest idea of Interior
ing with the insurance Investigation now
in progress In New York We have arrived
at this decision only after careful consid-
Grafton. We have kept in touch with the
inquiry there by letter. by telegraph and by
telephone. in addition to the voluminous re-
ports of newspapers.
Il do not see at the present time how any
state except New York profitably can take
a hand in this investigation.
The investigation now in progress is
manifestly so searching and so fair that
believe any OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES by our
insurance office naturally would do more
harm than good
up TO the present time" concluded the
governor, in view of the fact that solv-
ency Is not at all in question, / believe we
best safeguard the interests of hundreds of
thousands of policy holders IN Illinois by
waiting until the conclusion of the legisla-
tive inquiry in New York and then taking
such action as the report of that commit
tee seems to indicate as necessary"

IN THE COTTON BELT.
Weather Conditions Generally Favor
able for Picking,

The general summary of the cotton re-
gion weather-crop bulletin issued by the
weather bureau today is as follows:
Over most Of the cotton belt the wealth
er conditions during the greater part of
the week ending October 9 were favorable
for picking cotton Rains interrupted pick
ing, however, during the early part of the
week tn portions of Texas. Oklahoma Lou
isiana, Mississippi and Florida. and in To-
cal AREAS in. Alabama and South Carolina
The reports indicate that the general
condition of cotton over most of the cotton
area Is but slightly changed, as compared
with the previous week. A slight deteriora-
ton is shown In Florida and portions Of
the central and western districts, where
insects have been very destructive, the boil
weevils being reported in increased num-
bers In Texas. In central Texas and In
portions of Oklahoma, Alabama, Georgia
and Florida open cotton was damaged by
RAIN which also caused sprouting of bolls
in portions of Mississippi and Louisiana"

COMPLAINS OF D1scoURTEsY.
Dr.. Zincke, German Chemist, Tells o.
ul-Treatment.

CHICAGO, October 10-Dr. Theodore
Zincke. professor Of chemistry in the Uni
verstty of Marburg. Germany, who passed
through Chicago yesterday on his way to
New York. declared that, although he had
travelled all over Europe, Asia and Africa.
he never before received such discourteous
treatment as was given him when he en-
tered the United States. He asserted that
on his way to Seattle last week he was
treated like Chinaman," and forced to
pay fee OF 81 before he was allowed TO
cross the boundary hne.
Prof. Zincke was classmate OF Ira Rem
sen., one of the authorities on chemistry in
the United States. His visit to Chicago was
to renew his friendship with two of his
former pupils, DR.. Max Henius and DIR.
Robert Wahl To them he asserted that
on his arrival in Germany he will lay the
matter before the bureau of foreign affairs.
He Is accustomed to spend three months
of every year In travel, and this year he
came to America to view the Grand Canyon
of the Colorado and to visit Alaska. On his
return from the Klondike he took steamer
from Vancouver to Seattle. and 1t was
while on board this boat that an Official
treated him like Chinaman.' After he
had answered 'numberless interrogations"
he was told that 'he was an alien" and
was compelled to pay 81 as a fee for being
allowed to land. He is at a loss to know
whether the Official represented the bu-
reau of commerce and labor, or was a.
sWindIer.

RAILROAD DEAL PERFECTED.
Important Purchases in California
Suggest Western Pacific Plans.

SAN FRANCISCO. October 1O-A rail-
road deal affecting this city and San Jose
and the intervening peninsula has been per-
fected here. L., E. Hanchette has bought
for $50O.0O0 In cash the Santa Clara inter-
urban Railroad Company He has also pur-
chased for $4,000 the San Jose and Santa
Clara Railway Company. or the purchase
price he has paid down $4,000 in cash to
bind the bargain.
The presumption Is strong that Han
Ghetto, Is acting for the Western Pacific
people. and that they intend to have an
electric system south from this city as
feeder for their main line.
The franchise for the entire distance. In
Guiding the streets In San Jose. is for an
electric road for the handling Of freight,
passengers and. express. The company has
a stock issue Of $5.00o.OO0. none OF which
has been sold to outsiders and all OF which
was turned over to Hanchette yesterday.
The franchise In question and the right OF
way bought across private property are the
two valuable assets which Hanchette has
bought.

NEW TRUST COMPANY.
Movement on Foot to Establish One In
Washington.

A movement Is on foot to establish In
this city a inew-trust company. Several
projects Of this sort have been under con-
sideration for some time past. and several
months ago. when the site was purchased
by Mr.. Frank Munsey for a large office on
the site OF the Lawrence Hotel, IL was
stated that portion OF the new structure
would be planned for the use OF new
financial institution. This talk was re-
viyed yesterday owing to the fact that q
representative OF Mr.. Munsey. tn company
with Mr.. Colin II. Livingston. who Is con-
nected with the American National Bank:
Senator E1kine. made tour OF most OF the
financial institutions Of the city.
The abject of the visit seemed to be an
inspection of the 1Dciiities for business
which were provided, and also a bringing
together of facts in regard to the deposits
of the various Banks and other facts OF a
similar character. Whdle nothing dednlte
was said, yet it was understood that the
plan Of establishing a new trust company
has been taken up in earnest. and that 1t
Is the expectation Of those Interested to
have the details sufficiently perfected SO as
to be able to open the proposed institution
by the time the new building Is completed.
which win be some time about the Begin
ming of the year.
1t is stated that the new concern is to
be established on broad lines with the
luttt VI ubIS u puSiiiCoS thhS WILL hot ~
confined to this city. Stress is to be laid
on the fact that trust company organ
lied under the laws of the District has
much the same sort of national supervision
that Is given to national bank institutions
throughout the country.
It is believed by those said to be inter-
ested In this enterprise that that fact alone,
when made known throughout the country,
will serve to draw money that would not
be intrusted to ordinary concerns. In addi-
ton 1t Is the purpose to establish local con-
nections, and 1t is understood there will be
a harmony of interests between the new
concern and the American National Bank.
While 1t IL not understood that all the
details Of the organization have as yet been
decided upon, still 1t Is said that not only
will the capital of the new company be a
million of dollars (which is one OF the re-
qurements of the law. but it Is the inten-
ton to start business with surplus of an
equal amount.
