INK AT FUNERAL AGGOSTS PRESIDENT ’ A,B, Deming Passed the Armed Guard of Policemen and Detectives and Handed Mr, Roosevelt a Letter About “Cancer Cure” Intended for Kaiser, PAX.) Although he was guarded by more than 500 armed policemen, a score of detectives and a squad 2f Sectet-Service men, President Roosevelt passed af exciting morning in the city, where he had come on, the peaceful | iplésion of attending the funeral of his uncle, James King Gracie, brother his mother, filld-mannered and “armless inventor of a “cancer cure,” whom the . ‘authorities termed a crank, penetrated the heavily armed guard at the : Chitrety of the Holy Communion, where it was said that never before had Stich ¢laborate and perfect police precautions been made for the protection of the President from. cranks, harmless or dangerous. ©) Philemon not ouly passed the numerous lines of police, but he entered th@ ébutch and was ushered to a seat, He went to a waiting room, wrote ¢ note, inclosed it in an envelope and then loitered in the vestry until the { tbl party started to leave the church. was only one incident of the President's exciting morning. His » oitrte came near being run into by a Broadway car and was later caught s@iadng éigines that were fighting a fire. MET BY GEN. GREENE. if, Mittiving in Jersey City at 7.18 A. M., tho President and Mrs, Roosevelt, Cowles, U. S. N.; Dr. Stokes, of the Navy, and Secretary Loeb were by Police Commissioner Greene.

An escort of Police formed on either side and moved off east, through Twenty- Street at a lively clip. i tee along the way had been stationed at crossings to keep them f., All went well vntil Broadway was reached.

I received a reply a few days ago from his secretary, and it was in reply to this that I took the letter to the church to-uny. “T thought that would be a better time to see the President than in Washington, so I went over to the church. I walked right through the lines of police, and no one tried to stop me. I saw the sexton inside the church, and he told me the President had not yet come, so IT asked him where there was a place I could write a few lines, and a lady usher showed me to a room. WROTE NOTE TO PRESIDENT. “There I wrote the note for the President. When I had finished I walked Into the church proper and saw that the funeral was over and the peop'e leaving. So then I went around to the Twentieth street side and there waited for the President, I suppose you know what happened then, T was very much surprised.” is Deming is a religious enthusiast, a Seventh Day Adventist, who believes that Christ is about to come on earth again. He {1s also @ socialist and condemns great wealth Deming was arraigned before Magistrate Flatnmer in Centre Street Court, Detective Kinsler making the complaint. While waiting for the Magistrate to take up his case he entertained the crowd with some eccentric talk on the efficiency of charcoal. The letter which Deming handed to the young lady in the church was read, It ran; WHAT HE WROTE TO, ROOSEVELT, “It is well to pay homage to the dead, but greater importance to preserve life. Please read carefully the articles on the medicinal: vaue of charcoal in- closed, Dr. Stevens, chief physician of the Masonic Home, at tica, N. Y., politely asked me to loan him a copy.

It will take all bad out of persons. Try some of it, Judge."’ The Magistrate told Deming thot jt looked like chareoal. “Oh, no,” sail the prisoner. “It's a preparation. {[t would have cured Conkling if he had taken it." The Magistrate sald that there was nothing the matter with Roosevelt, and got the reply: ‘Well, It would make him more intelligent. He wouldn't commit so many blunders.” When Magistrate Fiammer told him he would have a doctor look into his case Deming remarked; “A kid doctor, I suppose. Well, they are about @s good as the old fellows.” As Detectives Kinsley and Duggan were taking Deming to Bellevue he asked the Magistrate his name and before a reply could be given he sald to Magistrate Flammer: “Are you ashamed of it? Why don't you answer.” HE SCOLDED MORGAN. ¢ Deming came into notice early last simmer when he saw J. Plerpont Morgan and Andrew Carnegie off on their summer trip to Europe. They were going aboard the Cedric when he railed at them, condemning them for thelr wealth and saying that Christ was coming immediately and would take vehgeunce, a : He made hie home with Mrs. T. Sutcliff, who runs a boarding-house at No. 126 Storm avenue, Jersey City. There he is regarded as a religious fa- natic and a crank, but those who haye been associated with, him believe that he is harmless, though at times he railed about religion with a display of violence that made some persons fear him. - Deming went to Washington on May 19, 1900, and while the House of Representatives was in session he suddenly shouted from the gallery: “Halt! Order! By the grace of the Lord, listen.” Then he delivered a tirade against wealth and the trusts and was telling about the secon®coming of Christ when the police reached him.

NEW HAVEN, Nov, 27.—The formal decree of the Probate Court in relation to the Philo 8. Bennett will, of which J, Bryan Is an executor, was lay by Judge Livingston ni. The Judge decides against Mr. Bryan on all the points in- volved. imme after the decision of Judge € id regarding the will was made, some weeks ago, after hearing of the parties interested, the Judge left to the attorneys to agree if possible on the form of the formal decree based on that decision. Opposing counsel, however, found themselves unable te reach an agree- |’ ment, and the attorney for Mrs. Ben- nett, the widow, and Mr. Bryan's coun- sel each filed with the Judge forms of the decree differing much in terms. Judge Cleaveland hax now arranged the form of the decree himself. ‘The d Js dated Nov. 6, and, after stating the fact that the will was of- fered for probate Oct. 21, 1903, says in effect that on the same day the sealed letter by which it appeared that Mr, Bennett expressed ‘a desire, to give $50,000 to Mr. Bryan ahd family Was produéed and filed In court; that a typewritten document in the possession of Mr, Bryan was also read, but not filed; that Mr. Bryan claimed the let- ter, the envelope containing It, and tho typewritten document | should | mitted to probate as part of the will, The decree conta declaring that the will was dt MRcMated by the testator while of sound mind and mem- ory, and that the will 1s allowed and ordered to be recorded.
