TRIED TO See President
ABOUT NEW SUBMARINE
New Jersey Crank Came to
Oyster Bay in Tour
ing Car.

Oyster Bay, L. l., July SAN effort
on the part of young man Of power
full physique to interview President
Roosevelt at 4 o'clock this morning
was frustrated by the secret service
guard maintained night and day at
Sycamore Hill The caller, whose
name has been withheld but who is a
member of a well known and respected
New Jersey family, had evidently lost
his mental equilibrium through enthu-
siasm regarding the merits of subma-
rine boat he claims to have perfected,
and which he thought President
Roosevelt ought to know about in view
Of the proposed plan to send the battle
ship fleet to the Pacific.
He came to Oyster Bay in touring
car. The automobile had not climbed
half way up Sycamore Hill when it
was halted by one Of the secret service
men who induced the inventor to turn
about and wait in the village until
morning. After an interview with Sec
retary Loeb this morning he returned
u his home where it is understood he
will be cared for.

being the fact that Mr.. Fitzgerald had

Among the Foreign Peoples.

One of the very interesting addresses Of
the convention was that OF Rev. Henry
Danielson of the Danish Norwegian Epis-
copal church OF Omaha, who spoke Tuesday
forenoon on the subject of the foreign pep
ulaton problem. He dwelt upon the I'M
portance of home mission work among his
people.
THE problem is so great for so small a
man as l." said he, that must say very
little about It, You do not know what It
is to meet foreigners. They are naturally
suspicious. But at the Immigration dnpots
someone is always present to meet them,
but they are either saloon runners or Sc
cret society men. Very few missionaries
are there to meet them. In Chicago there
are $1,000 Norwegians and in the vicinity
OF Omaha and Council Bluffs are 1900
Ncrwegians and Danes, and not 1000 be-
long to any church. True, they come from
Christian country, but it is the Chris
tanity of dead church.
What we need is money, men and
women. 1t is not hard TO get these people

"This board has built or aided 5000
churches, IN every state and territory OF
the union, and in Hawaii. Porto Rico and
the Philippines. 1t supports each year, in
whole or in part, over 1900 missionaries on
the frontier. in the south and in the con-
gested foreign populations Of our large
cities. It carries on work among the
Welsh, Swedish. Norwegian, Danish, Ger
man, French, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese,
Bohemian, Hungarian, Italian, Portuguese
and Finnish populations, also among the
American Indians and among the colored
people of the south. Besides these the
board prosecutes work among the native
population in the sparsely settled frontier.
In eighty-seven years the Methodist church
has put $40, co., 900 into home mission work
and in church extension they have spent
nearly 100000 more.
Under this new readiustment of the
work OF home missions and church extern
sion a general advance is expected. The
home field has never enjoyed the same
supervision given to the foreign missionary
fields. Now, with the incoming Of so many
thousands Of foreigners to our country. the
work of the gospel among them is Of most
vital concern and bears most important
relation to the evangelizaton of the for
eign fields. The board has issued a call for
81, OOO,OCO to carry on its twofold work for
the present year. Besides this. they are
seeking to raise sl25,OOO more to rebuild
our destroyed churches in San Francisco.
ITO enable the board 10 exercise a closer
supervision Of the field the country has
been divided into districts and secretaries
have been placed in charge Of the work
in these divisions. The northwestern divi-
sion has its headquarters at Omaha, and

Tha convention closed Tuesday evening.
The work Will be carried on with increas-
ing vigor as a result of this meeting. The
board is aiding in the support of 1000 home
missionaries. In the Methodist Episcopal
church are about 1900 pastors, 1000 OF
whom are serving self-supporting churches
and about 1000 receiving aid from the Board
of Home Missions and Church Extension.
The Methodist church is preaching the gOs-
guages. which is more than were used after
the day Of Pentecost was fully come. The
Germans and Scandinavians constitute an
important part OF the best American ciu-
zenshlp, and the German and Scandinavian
Methodists are among the highest type OF
Methodism to be found in this country.
The work Is being extended 10 all nation
aities. II is a work essentially Of patri-
otism and every lover of his country should
gladly contribute to aid the needy in the
erection of churches and in the support Of
the men who on small salaries preach the
gospel in these churches.
In the approaching Easter time special
efforts will be made to increase the collec-
lions for home missions and church extern
sion work. It has been suggested that as
no convenient time this year can well be
selected in the fall conferences Of the north
western division that there be taken a
separate collection at this time for home
missions and church extension, but not to
