Newport News Ofhciai ifs Too Partisaniy
 Active.


 Oyster Bay, Sept. 12.-A report has been received by President Roosevelt from the Civil Service Commission re- garding an investigation of charges recently made against J. B. Stuart. col lector of customs at Newport News, Va, alleging political activity and un- due partisanship in the conduct of the office.
 When Stuart assumed the duties of his office, he found that he had larger number of deputies than was needed. He dismissed several of them. It sc happened that the men dismissed were Democrats. Collector Stuart also en- tered actively into politics and in one nominating convention several of the assistants in his office were delegates. These contests developed the charges made against him to the civil service commission. Commissioner Cooley recently made a report to the President on the charges.
 As a result Collector Stuart has been directed t~at if the business of his of flee should make necessary the employ ment of additional assistants he should appoint the men recently discharged, fl they should desire to return to the gov ernment service, and he has been ad- monished not to be so active or to per init his office force to be so partisan in their political efforts.

"rhe Pearl of Pekfn, Repeated |
 Olympinn Company.

=
 Olympian Company.
 The Pearl of Pekin," presented for the second time at the Casino this run by the Olympia Opera Company last night duplicated the hit of the nrst performance Monday night.
 It may be said to start with that this opera offers ample opportunity for stage business to more than Ed Eagle ton. Leo Adde, Mss Kendall. Messrs. Pitkin and Matson. The girls took a very prominent part In the show all the way through and the whole per formance was carried of with vim and dash. The ensembles at the end of the first two acts were merftorious fea- lures and the costumes imparted plenty of the Oriental taste to the scenes. r It would be hard to find a more lively and original high mandarin to take the part of Typhoo than MT. Eagleton. He handed out new punches of jokes last night, ranging from the clean cut ankles of Montgomery girls to the greasy base-running and sepul- chral fielding of the Little Rocks. Also he Asked of the Manh in the Moon" after graduating in geography. where was Troy. Ala. Everything was said, sung and received in good humor. MT. Eagleton could not offend If he would. His singing opportunity was benefit to the orchestration which was cieverly presided over by Director Reynolds. Many curtain calls followed each of the popular comejian's songs. No more need be said Of the work of Miss Kendall than has been said in the past The people who have seen her l half dozen times or more-that Is a good average for Casino patrons would rather see her and hear her than read of what she did the night before | She was In no easy part, that of the Pearl of Pekin, and all the coyness oi | which she was capable was at her | fingers tips last night
 l The Chino skits of Leo Adde were ap- plauded for their originality.
 | The company will present "El Capi' | tan" tonight.

WORRIED ABOUT COAL
sCHAMUs WANTS HELP OF PREsI-
 DENT ROOSEVELT.
Secret Service Agent Nabs . Crank Who Desired an Interview with the Chief Executive, But
 Was Denied.

Oyster Bay. Sept. 12.--Isaac Schainus, a Russian Jew, 22 years old, was ar rested here late this afternoon and af- ter 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 ser vice agent, one of the personal guards of President 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, Assistant Secretary to the President. He desired to see the Pres ident and talk with him about the price of coal. He said he was the general coal agent of Greater New York, There was imminent danger, in his opinion, of a general strike among the miners in the anthracite coal region of Penn sylvania and the strike, he was as- sured, would result in great hardship 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- ceutly had written one letter and sent | two telegrams to the President on the subject of the price of coal, and he In | formed him that 1t would not be pos | sible to arrange an interview for him at the moment. Later in the after noon the secret service agent found Schamus in his rooms at a hotel and placed him under arrest. He made no objection to accompanying the secret
 service man to the office of Justice Franklin. The Justice questioned him
 at length in the presence of throng | of people who had assembled out of curiosity.
 | Schamus answered all questions in-
 telligently and rationally until coal
 was mentioned. Then he began to de- I liver an address on the question of the
 alleged oppression of the people by the coal magnates. He reviewed his plan to have the President interfere in behalf of the people and declared that had the President not settled the coal
 strike three years ago. more blood would have been shed than the world lever saw.
 In the course of his remarks he turned to a bystander who had asked him about anarchy and declared. the time would come when the people would have liberty without the re- straint of law, as laws would be un' necessary. He pointed to President Roosevelt as an example of what man could accomplish by an individua effort and said every man could do al much as the President had done.

 permit was issued yesterday. No pis
