Maryland Miner Almost Gained En-
trance to the Private Office
of the President
Today.
THERE ONCE BEFORE
is the Same Man Who Tried to Get
at Roosevelt When He
Occupied tho
Office.

WASHINGTON, June 16.-Armed
with 3S-calibre revolver, James
Stricklin, miner from Cumberland,
Md, gained entrance into the execu-
tive offices at the white house today
and almost succeeded in passing the
doorkeeper who guards the office.
He is a man of prepossessing ap-
pearance and was we'll dressed.
He walked briskly into the execu-
tive office, said he had an appoint
ment with the president and his man
ner succeeded in avoiding suspicion
until he was at the threshold of the
presidents private office.
The doorkeeper noticed that he was
excited and also noticed that he hat
something in his hip pocket.
A detective was sent for and he wal
searched. A revolver and S100 IL
cash was taken from him.
Stricklin is the same man who triet
to gain entrance to the executive OF
fees when Roosevelt was president
it is learned.

NOTHING SURPRISING
IN THEIR TREACHERY
Insurgents Break Pledge in the selec-
ton of cummins as the
Temporary Chairman.

DES MONIES, Iowa, June 16,-The
insurgents on the republican state CEN
tral committee have broken faith with
the regular republican members. In
stead of carrying out an agreement
made early last spring that the tenn
porary chairman of the coming repub-
lican state convention should be u
man in accord with the candidate
nominated for governor at the June
primaries they selected Senator Cum
Minis, who came all the way from
Washington at time when there was
important business of the nation to
transact. and used his greatest en-
deavors to defeat Carroll for renomi-
nation This piece of bad faith on the
part of the insurgent committee will
not result to their credit in the opin
ion of fair-minded people all over the
state 1t is another evidence of the
1 insincerity and personal factional feel
4 ing which dominates that gr0ap o.
4 politicians. Undoubtedly their actor
was demanded by Senator Cummins
/ who is planning, it is understood, tc
make an address which will. he hopes
stampede the convention IL tne in
i surgents and give him the endorse
ment for which he and his lieutenant
have been fighting.

sCRET POWDER
KILLS TWO MEN
Inventor Was Explaining the Process
to His Son When an Explosion
Occurred.

CORNING, N. Y, June 16-Clarence
Buck and his son Bernard were burn
ed to death in fire which destroyed
their powder factory, operated by the
Buck Manufacturing company at Coud-
ersport, Pa. The origin of the fire is
a mystery.
The elder Buck was the inventor OF
a so-called safety" powder, which
was manufactured at the Coudersport
plant by secret process. Only a few
days ago Mr.. Buck told the secret of
his process to brother. Yesterday
he took his son into the mixing room
of the powder mill to explain the pro-
cess to him. 1t is supposed that some
thing went wrong with their manipu-
lation of the ingredients and that the
fire started in the mixing room.
All the employees of the plant es-
capped. The bodies of the Bucks were
found after the fire was extinguished,
burned almost beyond recognition.

LIKE A CAT ON
THE TAIL OF KITE
Small Boy Carried Off in Runaway
Balloon, but Got Back All
Right.

CHILLICOTHE, Ohio, June 16.-
Breaking away from it's moorings, the
dirigible balloon belonging to Crom-
we'll Dixon of Columbus, Ohio, scared
half a mile above this city carrying
with it Freddy Meyers, ten years old,
while thousands of Mortified specta-
tors looked on. TIE balloon drifted
five miles westward before the hydro
gen gas became exhausted enough for
it to descend The boy had crawled
out to the extreme end of the frame
work, and when within ten feet OF
the ground dropped safely. The bal
loon, when relieved of the weight,
again scared high, and was last seen
travelling westward.
One of the guy ropes holding the
balloon broke while the lad was il
the rigging, and in swinging around
the other ropes broke, the balloon
ascending before the boy could jump
or any of the handlers could catch
the drag rope. Automobilists, start
ing in pursuit of the wild air craft
found the lad walking toward the city
They rushed him to his mother, who
was almost frantic when she heard
that the boy had been carried away.
The boy. in talking of his experience
said his first impulse was to jump, but
that by the time he had made up his
mind the earth looked SO far away
that he thought he had better stick
to the ship"

LESSON FOR LUNAT1cs
Fanatic Who Refused to Take Anti
dote Passed Away After
Suffering Agony for
Week.

CHICAGO, June 16.-An agcniziag
death. caused, by a rattlesnake bite,
ended nearly a week of untold torture
endured, through religious fanatacism
by Oliver Pugh. 60 years old, Zion
City follower of Wilbur Glenn Voiva.
Pugh was bitten by the snake last
Wednesday, but, true to the teachings
of his creed, refused to take antidotes
for the poison Or medicine OF any
kind relying on the prayers of MS
fellow religionists to cure him. HIS
sufferings were terrible and his death
/ one of the most shocking to occur In
/ Zion, where many have been due to
| the refusal of medical attention.
Pugh was bitten on the little finger.
He was in his strawberry patch, in
the rear of his home, when the snake
struck from a plant In which he had
just placed his hand. He shriekeo
and several persons near rushed to
him. The snake was killed and prov
ed to be rattler. Pugh became Ill

whisky, snakebite cure for ages, be-
cause of his religious belief, and for
the same reason refused to have any
physician called or any medicine Sc
cured for him.
In a. short time his arm swelled to
the size of churn, and he was delir
ious a great part of the time from the
pain. Voliva and many of his promi
tnent followers prayed increasingly fol
: his recovery, but his condition grew
worse steadily. His wife, almost &c
, years old, remained the entire time al
} his bedside, praying with the others
} The facts in the case were guarded
SO closely that they were not known
to but few until after the death.
Pugh was deacon in Voliva's

Postoffice Department Gets After the

Company on Charge
of Fraud.
OFFICERS ARE ARRESTED
Stock Juggling Carried on by Mall

hounds.

NEW YORK, June 16.-Postofficce
inspectors raided the handsome
Broadway offices of the United Wire
less Telegraph company, and caused
the arrest Of Christopher G.. Wilson,
PRESIDENT Samuel S. Bogard first
vice president, and William w. Tomp-
kins, president of the New York SELL
ing agency, which the officers OF the
wireless company say was formerly
their fiscal agent, but had ceased to
represent them.
Chief Inspector Mayer subsequently
gave out a long financial statement in
which he charges that, although the
company has been running at loss.
the price of its shares have been ad-
vanced by manipulation to fictitious
values, that the individual officers OF
the company had sold their stock to
the public at great profit.
Wilson was released on $4,000 bail,
and Bogard $4,000, for appearance
June H. Tomph1ns was arrested
near Mahopac Falls. He could not
furnish $4,000 bond and spent the
night in The Tombs.
The company, it is alleged. used
the mails to defraud. The assets of
the company appear to be worth at
a conservative estimate, 100000, or
the actual worth of two cents share
par value.
Two million shares have been Is
sued at par value of $40 share,
but the stock has recently been
pushed up to $50 share. Thus"
argued the inspector in the statement,
"by taking the last amount quoted
($400,000 of actual assets) at $50 a
share, stock really worth 100000
is put up to $1,000, 900, 600"
