USHER 0USTED WOMAN
Who Has PersistentIy Annoyed Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Family at
Services in Oyster Bay.

Miss Asi L. Esac, who is summer
ing in Oyster Bay, N. Y, for the pur-
pose of interviewing the president or
Mrs. Roos 1t on what she declares
is "a matlel If life and DEATH" Gre
ated scene curing the service in
Clrist's Episcopal Church Sunday.
Miss Esac, or Miss Case, as her
name is supposed to be, has attended
every church service the president
has attended since his arrival in July.
She has climbed Sycamore Hill on
foot several times, only to be turned
away by the secret service men.
She presented herself early at the
church and took a seat directly be-
hind the pew usually occupied by the
Roosevelt family. When Usher James
Duffy requested her to relinquish this
seat, she refused. Duffy forcibly re-
moved her to the rear of the church,
and Miss Esac says he tore her gown
in 80 doing. For this act. she later
applied for a warrant for Duffy, but
was refused.
In the rear of the church Miss E1sac
refused to sit down.. A secret ser
vice agent stood beside her and dur
ing the service she made no less than
a dozen attempts to get past him.
AS the president was leaving the
church three secret service men sur.
rounded Miss Esac, bat she shouted:
"Mr. President, Mr.. President, Pres
ident Roosevelt, won't you speak to
me a noment?"
The president turned his head as
he passed, but did not pause. Miss
Esac says her watch chain was broken
in this scrimmage with the secret
service men and her watch fell to
the floor.
The president was accompanied Dy
Mrs. Roosevelt and Quentin, and Rep
resentative and Mrs. Longworth. Miss
Esac has stated to acquaintances she
has made while in Oyster Bay that
she was to have been married in the
White House at the time Miss Alice
Roosevelt became Mrs. Longworth;
that she was to have married high
government official, and that it was
this wrong she seeks to redress. When
the presidents carriage had departed,
Miss Esac was allowed to go. It was
then she sought warrant for Duffy.
She says she will stay in Oyster Bay
until she accomplishes her purpose.

SCRAP IN THE LEGISLATURE

SoIon and a Solicitor Enliven Pro.
cedings in the Georgia House. g
The proceedings of the Georgia
house of representatives were enliv.
ened for few minutes Wednesday:
morning by mix-up on the floor
between Hon. T. r. Whitley, member:
of the house from Douglas county,
and Hon. Charles D. Hill, solicitor!
general Of the Atlanta circuit Both:
gentlemen have reminders of the en-
counter, DR.. Whitley being the pos;
SCISSOR small bump on his head,
caused by blow from Mr.. HiIPx
walking stick, and Mr.. Hill carrying.
upon his forehead long reddish
bruise resulting from contact with
one OF the chairs as he wavered ul-s
der blow from the Douglas county:
member. No blood was spilled, AMI
the combatants were soon separatei.ss
It appears that Mr.. Rill was waIks:
ing along the space in the rear ef''
the hall, when he met Dr.. Whitley
and that Whitley greeted him with:
some ordinary salutation, to. whiclE
Hill promptly responded that he did
not care to speak with him. Whitley;
replied "all right" Those near say
that Mr.. Hill added something like
"You would have voted for that bill;
If there had been any money In its
for YOU" TO this DR.. Whitley replied:
"You are a liar" and Mr.. Hill ats
once struck DR.. Whitley over the
head with a stick, raising a small
bump. DR.. Whitley responded with 90
blow on the neck, which staggered
Mr.. Hall, but he at once returned
to the attack with additional blows:
from his walking cane. s
Immediately after the difficulty.
Representative F7ynt Of Spalding ins
troduced resolution asking for the
appointment of a committee to inyess
tigaSs the matter and report as to
whether either gentleman had beenS
guilty of contempt Of the rules cf 3
the house. rs.
The cause leading up to the fight
may be stated to be the discussior,
which has recently been had in the
house over the proposition to pay
the Mattingly bonds. The firm Of b.
H. and C. D. Hill, along with other
attorneys, represented the petitioners
holding the bonds. DR.. Whitley was
one Of the members, who opposed the
payment Of the bonds, and in a speech
made Tuesday on the subject made
some allus1on of the fact that he
was tired Of the lobbyists for the bun g
hanging around the legislature. 1ts
was to this statement that Mr.. He'll
presumably took offense.
