CRAZY MAN CAME ID SEE PRESIDENT. Wanted Him to Help the Poor
 Get Coal MAKES SPEECH IN COURT Says Time is Coming When No Laws Will Be Necessary, as Every Man Will Be Goverened By h.
 viduaI Effort.
MAKES SPEECH IN COURT

Oyster Bay. September 12.-Isaac Scha- mus, a Russian Jew, 2 years old, was arrested here late this afternoon, and after an examination before justice of the peace was sent to Mineola- L. l., to be examined as to his sanity.
 The arrest was made by a secret service agent, one of the personal guards of Pres ident Roosevelt. Schamus, who resides in New York City, arrived here at 1920 D. m. from New York and soon afterwards had an interview with MT. Barnes, assist ant secretary to the President. He de- sired to see the President and talk with him about tine price of coal. He said he was the general agent of Greater New York There was imminent danger in his opinion of general strike among the miners in the anthracite coal region of Pennsylvania, and the strike he was as- sured, he said, would result in great hardship for the people of the country.
 He wanted ten minutes with the Pres ident to tell him to appoint a commis- sion of three men who should regulate the output of the coal supply, so as to provide the poor with fuel at reasonable prices, even in the event of a strike.
 Secretary Barnes recognized at once that Schamus was the man who recent ly had written one letter and sent two telegrams to the President on the subject on the price of coal and he informed him that 1t would not be possible to arrange an interview for him at the moment. Later in the afternoon the secret service agent found Schamus in hts rooms at hotel and placed him under arrest. He made no objection to accompanying the secret service man to the office of Justice Frank lin. The justice questioned him at length in the presence of throng of people who had assembled out of curiosity. Scha- mus answered all questions intellgentiy and rationally until coal was mentioned. Then he began to deliver an addyess on the question of the alleged oppession Of the people by the coal magnates. He reviewed his plan to have the President interfere in behalf of the people and de- clared that had the President not settled the coal strike three years ago more blood would have been shed than the world ever saw.
 In the course of his remarks he turn ed to a bystander who had asked him a question about anarchy and declared the time would come when the people would have liberty without the restraint Of law, as laws would be unnecessary. He pointed to President Roosevelt as an ex- ample of what a man could accomplish by the individual effort, and said every man could do as the President had done When Sehamus was searched at Mineoia permit to carry revolver signed by Captain Lantry of the New York police force and Commissioner of Police Me- Adoo was found on him. The permit was issued yesterday. No pistol was discov- cred, and Schamus said he had not car ried one,

He has been talking about seeing the President for long time. He is good boy and loves the poor. He studied hard all the time. He was graduated from the Grammar school and went to work for Joseph Gordon X Co. coal merchants in Forty-second street.

 While the peace conference was sit ting at Portsmouth the Emperor of Ja- pan, perplexed by contradictory reports from the front and General Linevitch's constant illustration of Japanese at- tempts to outfank him, sent Field Marshal Yamagata and General Mu- rata to inspect positions at the front and to report on the chances of crush ing the Russian army. Field Marshal Yamagata spent twelve days with Field Marshal Oyama and ultimately report ed unfavorably on the chances of signal victory. 1t is suggested that this may have influenced the Emperor In agreeing to the terms of the Ports mouth treaty."

There is no city in the northwest

is an advantage which we should
not be slow to appreciate and to

and a little money expended
would make these parks much
more attractive. to our people,

OF the services which John HAY
has rendered to his country
since he became Secretary of
State in 1898 we shall be better
able to Judge with years but we
realize that they are very great.
In all the nations of the earth
there is no man who stood higher
IN the esteem of his fellow
diplomats than John Hay. Al.
most as much through his
diplomacy as through natural
strength has the United States
come to play a leading part among
the nations of earth. Such men
are difficult to replace. We may
be able to do it but we have no
man today who can take John
Hays place and command the
confidence of the nations as did
he. Our loss is greater in that
his work is still unfinished: the
great policies which he has so
successfully inaugurated are
yet to be brought to happy con-
clusion. In the choice of Hays
successor President Roosevelt
