CRANK is ARRESTED
CALLED AT OYSTER BAY TO SEE
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT RE.
GARDING COAL.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Sept. 13.-Isaac
Schamus. a Russian Jew, twenty
years old, was arrested here late in
the afternoon and after an eXamina-
ton before a justice of the peace,
was sent to Mineola, l.. l., to be eX-
amined as to his sanity.
The arrest was made by a secret
service agent, one of the personal
guards of President Roosevelt. Scha-
mus, who resides in New York city,
arrived here at IL. 20 p. M, from New
York, and soon afterward had an in
terview with Mr.. Barnes, assistant
secretary of the president. He de-
sired to see the president and talk
with him about the price of coal. He
said he was the general coal agent of
Greater New York. There was i'm
minent danger in his opinion of
general strike among the miners in
the anthracite coal region of Pennsyl-
vania, and the strike, he was as
sured, would result in great hardships
for the people of the country. He
wanted ten minutes with the president
to tell him to appoint commission
of three men who should regulate the
output Of the coal supply so as to pro-
vide the poor with fuel at reasonable
prices, even in the event Of strike.
Secretary Barnes recognized at once
that Schamus was the man who re-
Gently had written one letter and sent
two kilograms to the president on the
subject, and he was informed that it
would not be possible to arrange an
interview for him at the moment.
Later in the afternoon the secret
service agent found Schamus in his
rooms at a hotel and placed him under
arrest.
He made no objection to accompany
ing the secret service man to the Of
fee of Justice Franklin. The justice
questioned him at length in the pres
ence of the throng Of people. Scha-
mus answered all questions intelli-
gently and nationally until coal was
mentioned Then he began to deliver
an address on the question of the al
legged oppression Of the people by the
coal magnates.
! When SchamuS was searched at
Mineola, permit to carry revolver
signed by Captain Lantry of the New
York police force and Commissioner
Of Police McAdoO was found on him.

Oilers AT CHICAGO.
GETTING READY FOR TROUBLE
OFFICIALS OF RAILWAYS PRE-.
PARE FOR BUT DO NOT EX-
PECT A STRIKE.

Chicago, Sept. 13.-Demands of the
members OF the Freight Handlers
union of Chicago for an increase Of
10 per cent in wages or an arbitration
of their demands and the demand for
a conference have been refused. The
general managers Of the twenty-five
railroads centering in Chicago notified
President P. j. Flannery of the union
that negotiations were ended. The
news Of the refusal of the general
managers to grant the increase in
wages or arbitrate the dispute and the
declination to hold a conference was
received angrily by the men. They
Immediately arranged to call a
series of mass meetings to consider
the action of the roads.
At the meeting of the railroad Off
Gals there was little discussion as to
what the action of the railroads
should be. The meeting lasted only
a few moments and before adjourn
-ment the officials of the railroads had
pledged themselves not to deal indi-
yidually with any committee of the
freight handlers. 1t developed after
the meeting that the general freight
agents and general managers had
communicated with the freight hand
lers as individual employees and in
formed each of them that the rail
roads were paying the highest wages
it was possible to pay. Notwithstand-
T-,rr Of n
have resulted after individual inter
views with employees that there will
be no strike, the railroad companies
are going ahead with preparations for

tionary. Cots are being hauled to the
freight houses and hundreds of men
have been tentatively hired. to take
the place of the union men should

Chief of Police Collins has been
communicated with and he will fur
nish the freight houses with police
protection.
One of the general managers at the
meeting said:
while it looks like trouble, we are
conIueHt CHdl me men w noI wait
to strike
Despite the prompt refusal of the
various railroads to grant the de-
mands Of the freight handlers for an
increase of wages, an outward calm
pervades the situation and if a strike
does come it will be only after every
effort has been exhausted by both
sides to avoid it. The union officials
announce that whatever is done will
be along conservative lines.
The executive board of the freight
handlers will meet and seek to ar
range a conference with the railroads,
individually or collectively

Eloht suicides In One Family.

No fewer than eight suicides have taken
place in the Ricard family Of Highgate
Gore, the latest being that OF Charles
Ricard, in Franklin recently. The suicide
mania has extended down through four
generations. Some so years ago there
lived in Highgate Gore two brothers,
Mark and John Ricard, well to do and
respected. Mark was the father of two
sons, Jeremy and David. Mark committed
suicide by hanging in the orchard 40
years or so ago. Ten or is years later
his son David killed himself in the same
fashion, and later Jeremy, a Congrega,-
tional deacon, took paris green. OF old
John Ricard's five sons, Holmes Ricard
is the only one alive today Noah, after
trying to hang himself twice, cut his
throat. His brother Peter cut not only
his throat but the arteries and veins in
his ankles. Lot, another brother, died a
natural death, but the death OF John,
jr., in Massachusetts,, while not definitely
known to have beer the result Of his own
hand, was considered so. Now Charles
Ricard, grandson OF the original John,
has hanged himself Ia mis- Franklin
orchard, while four years ago his son
Wilbur, great-grandson OF John, drowned
himself.

Four Were Drowned.

Four persons were drowned in the Co
checo river at Dover, N. H., Sunday as
the result of two accidents. In each case
one of the victims met death in trying
to save another The dead are Thomas
Keenan,, 3S, of South Boston, a seaman on
the schooner Sadie A. Kimball; George
Jones, so. residence unknown, seaman on
the Kimball; Edward Durkin of Dover,
an operative in the Cocheco cotton mills /;
and the six-year- son of Edward Dur
kin. The accidents occurred late in the
afternoon. AS the schooner Sadie A.
Kimball was passing Dover Point house
on her way up the river, the main boom
struck Thomas Keenan,, a seaman, and
knocked him overheard. A boat was
hastily lowered, and George Jones, an
other seaman, was preparing to go to the
rescue OF Keenan, when he lost his balance
and fell from the railing, striking his
head on the small boat. Jones fell into
the river and sank instantly. Before
other members OF the schooner's crew
could reach keenan, the latter, too, had
disappeared. Up to a late hour neither
body had been recovered.
The second accident occurred an hour
and a half later. While Edward Durkin
was out in row boat with three OF his
children one of the little ones fell into the
river. The father Immediately dived for
the child, but was unable to reach him,
and evidently becoming exhausted by his
efforts, sank beneath the surface. The
other children remained in the boat, and
were assisted to land by a man on the
river bank. Durkin is survived by a widow
and three small children. The bodies OF
the father and child were not recovered.

FREE TO FARMERS.

In Bulletin No. 116 recently issued by
the Vermont Agricultural Experiment
Station, Formula No. 1, commends the
following ingredients for fall seeding,
without manure. The amounts named
are for one acre:
Raw Ground Bone. ....... 800 to 400 lbs.
Acid Phosphate. ........... lou TO lou IDS.
Wood Ashes. 800 TO 400 lbs.
Muriate of Potash. ......... so to 70 lbs.
To any Farmer writing to c. S. Page,
Hyde Park, Vt, saying that he saw this
notice in The Phoenix, Mr.. Page will send
free sample of the above ingredients,
excepting the ashes, and give the cost
thereof laid down at the Farmers nearest
station.
The Experiment Station Bulletin well
says: ION every account, financial
educational, agricultural, it is better to
buy the crude stock and home mix, II
one uses a ton or more"
ANY farmer who will send Mr.. Page
So % will receive, freights prepaid, sam
pie 200 pound barrel of his Ground Bone.
It is guaranteed to be an absolutely pure
natural Bone Meal. No valuable ingredi-
ents have been taken therefrom as in the
case with much of the Bone Meal now
being offered to the public.
Nearly all the large fertilizer manu-
facturers make a bone glue by boiling
their bones and extracting the gluten
therefrom. Mr.. Pages Bone Meal Is a
by-product from the manufacture Of
Pages Perfected Poultry Food, and is the
bone flour sifted out from the graduated
bone which forms one OF the prlnclpal
ingredients of this Poultry Food 1t is
this fact that enables Mr.. Page to furnish
a pure Bone Meal at so low price.
Save your ashes and mix with this Bone
Meal and you will find it worth double
the cost.

Mystery Cleared by Finding Deeomposed
Body,

The mystery in the disappearance
OF James Parker, who went away from
the home Of Paul Tinkhan in Rochester
six weeks ago. was cleared up Saturday
when the badly decomposed body of the
man was discovered one-quarter OF a
mile east of the village by a young hunter,
named Page. Beside the body was
bottle which had contained laudanum.
When Parker went away from the Tink-
ham home It was supposed that he had
gone to visit relatives, and no great APP
prehension was felt. He was supposed
to have a sister in Canada, also brother,
whose residence was not known. Parker
came to Rochester about 20 years ago.
He worked as stage driver between there
and Hancock, and later went to work
on Tinkham's farm. Parker entrusted
to Mrs Tinkham $40 in money and a
bank book on the Rutland County bank,
containing entries for $4,000. He was
so years old and so far as known was not
married. The local authorities have
started a hunt to ascertain II there are
any relatives living. The body was
buried at once. Suicide is the generally
accepted theory for his death.
1t has been found that Parker took his
own life with laudanum owing to his dis
appointment in not being able to hold n
position as sheriff's clerk, as he was so
illiterate that he could hardly read or
write. He had to give UP this position a
short time before he disappeared. Bank
books in his pockets showed that he had
$4,000 on deposit in banks in Rutland and
Morrisville. The money was left him in
part several years ago by relatives. Peo-
Pile in Rochester knew but little about
Parker, but for several years he had been
employed steadily in that town on odd
iobs
