For this service an effort will be made
to secure Frank Tyree, the United
States marshal from West Virginia,
who was a former secret service man
end during the colonel's occupancy
cf the White House was his personal
bodyguard. He has accompanied the
ex-president on many Of his trips.
This determination to safeguard the
colonel arises from warnings received
flom several quarters that q man, be-
keved to have been the same who at
tempted to force q way into Mercy
hospital. Chicago, would make q fur
ther attempt to reach the colonel
here. At that time he declared that
he came from Colombia and rallied at
the ex.president for his connection
with the acquisition Of the canal zone.
When he was denied admission to
Mercy hospital, he is said to have ex-
bibited railroad ticket, with the
threat that he would follow the col.
onel to New York. II IL believed this
man is the same who served term
in Clinton prison, Dannemora. He is
also Colombian. In June. 1905, the
lrisoD officials intercepted a letter
flom this man In Spanish which con-
tained threats against the president
and declared that he ha6 committed a
crime against Colombia. Nothing had
been heard Of him since his release.
Additional emphasis was given to
the uneasiness felt by the colonel's
friends on the score Of possible injury
from cranks by the appearance on the
hill Of an unknown man, who attempt
Cd to effect an entrance to the house.
Before he could be persuaded to take
his departure he penciled note to the
colonel. II was rambling and incohe.
