COL. CROOK DEAD;
PRESIDENTS FRIEND
Bodyguard of Lincoln, Grant
and Garfield-Fifty Years
in White House.

Washington, March 13.--Colonel W.
II. Crook, disbursing officer OF the
White House. who was President Lin
coins bodyguard and who has been
intimately acquainted with every Presi-
dent since 1860, died to-day at MS
home here He had been i'll with
pneumonia more than week.
President Wilson expressed deep re-
gret when informed of Colonel CROOKS
death. Last January the colonel lie
brated his fftieth anniversary as an
attache of the White House.
Colonel Crook is survived by his
mother. Mrs. Mary A. Carton, who IS
ninety-six years old. ,.
Fifty years of service as Whlte
House employe, through the admin
istrations of twelve Presidents. made
Colonel Crook one Of the most familiar
figures in the national capital. Inc
assassinations of Lincoln and Garheld,
various weddings and the impeachment
of President Johnson were among the
events he recalled.
He was taken from the Washing,
ton police force in 1865, and appointed
{ President Lincoln's bodyguard. Prior
70 this he had served in the Union
army. He accompanied Lincoln on
many of his walks and drives, and IL
was his duty TO watch over the Presi-
dent at public receptions.
Colonel Crook told often OF how on
the afternoon before Lincoln's assassi-
nation the President had come to HIM
in confidence and said that on three
successive nights he had had dreams
which foretoid his murder. Crook
begged the President not TO go to the
theatre that evening, as planned. LIN,
coin insisted, and, Furthermore, would
not hear of Crook accompanying MN
He ordered Crook to go home and rest
AS they parted Lincoln failed TO say
Goodnight only time ne ever
failed to say it, said Crook.
Colonel Crook also always main
tanned that the substitute guard that
night became interested in the play
and left his post OF duty, and that II
he himself had been present Booth
would never have entered the theatre
box to shoot Lincoln.
II was Colonel Crook who carried 70
President Johnson the first news or MS
acauittal on impeachment charges.
He was unusually close TO President
Grant and the members of his family,
and in 1870 was appointed executive
clerk TO the President OF the united
States" In 1877 President Grant made
him disbursing officer Of the White
House, the place he held during the
succeeding administrations. Colonel
Crook drove Guiteau, President Gar
fields assassin, away from the White
House before he finally succeeded IN
killing the President.
Colonel Crook saw five White House
marriages. On his fiftieth anniversary
of entering the White House service,
which he celebrated last January, a
beautiful cane was given to him by
President Wilson and members Of the
White House staff.

Usual Rate Is Maintained i'll Berlin
Despite Country's Condition.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.D
Berlin, March 19.--The Berliners,
Notwithstanding the war, are still
marrying and giving in marriage at
almost their usual rate. In Deem
Der the number of marriage licenses
issued was 1,421, which was only 112
less than for December, 1913. The
number of babies born in December
was also about the same as for the
previous year. On the other hand,
the deaths numbered 306 more than
in December, 1918, which was prob
ably due to the mortality in the
numerous military hospitals located
here. Traffic on the street cars shows
only a moderate reduction. At the
savings banks a still more satisfac
tory showing is made. Deposits
amounted to s1,42O,000. which ex-
ceeded those of December, 1913, by
some $4,000. The activity of the
police in watching over the people
appears to have been less marked
than in the previous year; for there
was no police supervision at all over
the thirty-tWo public meetings held
in Berlin in December, whereas the
police attended eight of the forty
two meetings held in December, 1918.

WOERTENDYKE COMES
BACK TO THIS CITY
Prohibition Lecturer Will Speak
Tuesday Night at Peoples Church,
Erasing Chicago Engagement.

James Fl. Woertendyke, a prohibit
ton party lecturer of national prom
inence, has sacrificed an engagement
IN Chicago to pay q return visit to
New Britain, and he will speak next
Tuesday evening at the Peoples
church on Court street. The lecture
will open at 7:45 o'clock and the pub
lie is invited
OF all the prominent men in the
prohibition party none stands out
more clearly than does Mr. Woerten-
dyke. He is a forcefuLss3 energetic
talker, who knows his subject thor
oughly and does not hesitate to speak
his mind. He is a "self-made' man
and those who have heard him say
he made a fine job Of it. His parents
being unable to give him the school
ing that his am bilious young heart
desired, he studied during spare mo-
ments and was successful in passing
an examination for the ministry. He
gained no little prominence as a pas
tor and evangelist. In 1904 he en-
tered the lecture field and has since
been one of the most commanding
figures on the prohibition platform.
He spoke in this city, recently at
big prohibition convention and those
who heard him will no doubt arrive
early at the Peoples church to be
sure of listening to him again.
