ASI ESAC TRIED 70 REET PRES.
IDENT in CHURCH.
She Had Taken a Seat near Presl-
dent's Pew When She Was ForcIbIy
Removed to Rear Of church-sur-
rounded by Detectives, She Yelled
at Roosevelt to Talk to Her.

New York. Aug. 14.-Asi Hsac, who
is summering at Oyster Bay for the
purpose of interviewing the president
or Mrs. Roosevelt on what she de-
clares is q matter of life and death, {"
created q sensation during the serv-
ices in Christ's Episcopal church last
Sunday. Miss Esac, or Miss Case, as
her name is supposed to be, has at
tended every church meeting the pres
ident has since his arrival here in
July. She has climbed Sycamore Hill
on foot several times, only to be turn
ed away by the secret service men.
She presented helself early at the
church and took a seat behind the
pew usually occupied by the president
and his family. When requested to
relinquish this seat she declined, and
she was forcibly removed to the rear
of the church, and Miss Esac says her
gown was torn in so doing. For this
act she later applied for a warrant for
the arrest of Usher Duffy, but was re-
fused. In the rear of the church Miss
Esac refused to sit down. A secret
service agent stood beside her. and
during the service she made no less
than a dozen attempts to get past him.
AS the president was leaving the
church the secret service men sur
rounded Miss Esac, but she shouted,
''Mr. President, Mr.. President, Presi-
dent Roosevelt, won't you speak to me
mOment?"
The president turned his head as he
passed, but he did not pause. Miss
Esac says her watch chain was broken
in this scrimmage and her watch fell
to the floor. The president was ac-
companied by Mrs. Roosevelt and
Quentin and Representative and Mrs
Longworth.
Miss Esac has told those acquaintan.
ces she has formed here that she was
to have been married in three weeks
after Miss Roosevelt became Mrs
LOngworth; that she was to have mar
ried high government official When
the presidents carriage had departed
Miss Esac was allowed to go. 1t was
then she sought warrant for Duffy.
She says she will stay in Oyster Bay
until she accomplishes her purpose.
Representative and Mrs. Longworth
have left for Washington and Cincin-
natl.

Startling Disclosures Made at
the Riparian Investigation Yes
terday--RaiIroad Was Favored.
MORE WILL BE HEARD.

TRENTON, OCT. 6.-Sessions of
the riparian investigation by the Sc
lect committee of the Legislature are
becoming more sensational by the
production of evidence of the most
damaging nature against the Board
that was in existence in 1903 and
1904.
1t was testified yesterday by ]. A.
G. Johnson, a lawyer, of New York,
and his client, Andrew Shaumberg,
that Mr.. Shaumberg desired n grant
on the Hudson river partly in Hudson
and partly in Bergen counties; that
the price fixed was $4,000, and that
the same right was subsequently
granted to the Jersey Shore Line
Railroad for $400. The application
of Shaumberg was filed in the latter
part of 1903 and in January, 1904,
the railroad companys grant was
made. There was a lapse of three
months between the application of
Shaumberg and the application of the
railroad company and only a lapse of
two days between the application of
the railroad and the granting of the
right.
John I. Holt, chief witness of the
afternoon session, testified that
George L. Record undoubtedly domi-
mated the board. He said that he and
Commissioner Farrell always tried
to get good prices for grants, while
Record and the other Commissioners
were for lower price. Mr. Record
always dominated the others.
Assistant Attorney General Duffield
stated at the conclusion of the ses-
sion that e. Horner, of Ocean coun-
ty, had called attention by letter to
the way in which the riparian board
was giving grants to valuable oyster
seed land in that county. He assert
ed that Mr.. Hprner would be heard
later.
The committee will meet again
