crank With Empty Revolver Arrest
ed at Sycamore Hill.

oyster Bay, Sept S.-A crank arm
ed with an antiquated bull dog re-
EoIVer was caught near the presidents
mouse at Sycamore Hill yesterday by
the secret service guards The man
described himself as John Coughlin, a
detective, and when stopped by the
secret service men, presented a card
upon which was inscribed his name
and the word Officer" He said that
ne had come to ask the president to
order out troops to catch yeggnlen
who had been terrorizing Boston.
Coughlin is supposed to have reached
oyster Bay on the 1919 train. He
walked three miles to Sycamore Hill.
The road leading to the presidents
mouse forks at the tennis court 200
yards from the house, and forms. a
loop about the presidents home. The
two guards who are on duty in the
day time stand at either end of the
mouse and their view commands both
roads after the fork at the tennis
grounds.
One of the rules for visitors at
Sycamore Hill is that no one shall
come on foot, so when Secret Service
agent John Adams caught sight of
Coughlin toiling up the hill road, he
guessed that something was wrong,
and motioned for the man to go back.
Coughlin kept right on. Adams ran
down the road to met him. Cough
lin produced his card and explained in
the most casual way that he had come
to confer with President Roosevelt
concerning the recent outrageS by
yeggmen i'll Boston and to lead back
such troops as the president saw fit
to order out. The secret service man
tried to explain that the president was
not receiving visitors, hoping to get
him quietly out OF the grounds.
Coughlin hesitated a moment and
then slid his hand toward the back
pocket of his trousers. Adams Crap
pied with him without further parley.
Coughlin struggled for a moment but
he is a slight built man and Adams
had no difficulty in holding him until
Agent Jas. Sloan, jr., came to his as
sistance. Sloan searched the prisoner
and found in his hip pocket a 32-cal-
iber revolver on the bull dog type.
The weapon was wrapped in wooden
bag, and. according to the secret SER
vice men. was not loaded.
The slight struggle near the tennis
court had not been observed at the
house and the secret service men,
without alarming the presidents fam
lily. called one OF the automobiles and
carried Coughlin to the oyster Bay
town hall where he was arraigned be-
fore Justice of Peace Franklin on
charge of carrying. concealed wea pons.
He was committed to- the county Jail
at Mineola. Coughlfn Will be exam
ined as to his sanity
According to the secret service men
Coughlin told them that he had been
confined for three years in an insane
asylum
from horseback ride only a short
time before Coughlin appeared at
Sycamore HILL He did not witness
the arrest of the crank.

STRUGGLE IN KINGS.
Between Murphy and McCarren
for the Mastery
Is an Important Feature of the
Democratic Primaries,

New York. Sept. S.-More interest
ing than any other feature of the Re-
publican primaries in Greater New
York today will be a socalled Hughes
test. In all the election districts of
ten assembly districts in Manhattan
and two in Brooklyn, the enrolled vot-
ers of the party will be asked whether
or not they favor the denomination
of the governor.
There are contests among Repub-
licans for leadership in at least seven
Manhattan and Bronx districts, but
there is little more than local interest
in any OF them
Except for the struggle in Kings
county which may mean the downfall
of Senator McCarren and the triumph
in that borough OF Charles F. Murphy,
leader of Tammany hall. there is also
little of general interest that is fore
Swallowed for the Democratic prima-
ries either in that county or this, but
Queens county will have a lively con-
test by the former borough president,
Joseph Cassidy to regain control from
Sheriff Herbert S. Harvey.
The polls will be open from o'clock
this afternoon to 9 o'clock tonight.

LABOR'S WORST ENEMY.
GOmpers So Designates Uncle Joe in
Speech at Danville.

Danville, ILL.,, Sept. S.-Samuel Com
pers opened his campaign against the
reelection of Joseph G. Cannon as Il
member of the national house when he
spoke to about one thousand persons
at the Labor Day celebration in this
city.
IF you wish to defeat Mr.. Cannon"
the labor leader said, in concluding his
speech. you will have to vote for a
man who is here listening to this adj
dress"
With this reference to H. c. Bell. the
Democratic opponent of Speaker Can
non, Mr.. Gompers quit the stand. I'M
mediately there were cries from the
Democratic portion for Mr.. Bell. The
labor leaders of Danville and surround
ing country, who had the celebration in
charge, refused, however, to allow Mr..
Bell to mount the rostrum despite the
fact the Democratic candidate had told
Mr.. Gompers he would be glad to adj
dress the crowd. Thus what might
have been turned into a Democratic
mass meeting was averted by the labor
men. who desired that the celebration
be kept without the bounds of politics.
Mr. Gompers took occasion to pay his
respects to the Republican party thus:
There is a glorious triumvirate," he
said after he had charged both the
Republican nominees with being in
league with employer and not en-
ployee adding Mr.. Cannon to the list.

John Robb, Washburn's football cap
tain for the coming season, arrived in
Topeka from his home at Lenox, Iowa,
this morning. This is the first signal
for local football enthusiasm, and
as soon as Topeka wins the baseball
pennant, the football dopesters Will

for the coming season. Captain Robb
said:
II don't want to be quoted in saying
that Washburn will win the Missouri
valley championship again, but 1 do
want to say that we will put up the
earnest fight of the year. When 1 say
game 1 mean it because with a team
of raw material can see no other out
look. All of the fellows 1 have seer,
say that hard work this summer has
kept them in fine condition and they
are all anxious to commence on early
practice. 1 am sorry that the new
gymnasium will not be ready for foot
ball work but we have won games be-
fore without gym and I guess we can
do it again."
