As a result of all this activity that has burned out wires between here and Washington and set all the machinery of the Govern- ment and New York City police in operation, Dockstader was teghnically arrested gt the Marlborough Hotel this afternoon and taken under heavy guard to Police Headquarters. Tho amazing crime with which the black face comedian is charged directly by the Chief Magistrate of the nation is this; Yesterday an open barouche, in which Dockatader, with ail his dingy finery, was the central figure, drov rapidly along Pennsylvania avenue, Washington. As it neared the Capitol Bnother barouche approached. Prom- {nent in this vehicle was a hotel por- ter made up by Dockstad:r to resem- ble the Chief Executive, The make-up extended even to a set of false tecth, that gleamed in the sun. It Was a Touching Sight. The Dockstader barouthe slowed down as it neared the steps of the Cap- itol. The comedian stepped out, walked @ few feet and collapsed on the pave- ament.

All the while a kinetoscope man was busy in the background making lms. A page of the Senate witnessed the dneldent. He told a lackey of the Cap- itol, who told an esquire of the White House, who told an officer of the Pres- ddential guard, who told the Chief Mag- istrate.

Washington and "tr, Roosevelt wound in a mutual em- brace. The true purport of the sketch, however, was that Dockstader, done as the inimitable minstrel himself, fell out of a bailoon, and Mr, Roosevelt, puss- ing by accident, went to succor him But this was no harinless proceeding | that an American citizen who makes his living by good-humored and ami- atle impersonations of public mea could undertake in the present administra- tive era, Wi the Commander-in- Chief of the Army and Navy of the Ujnited States heard it he thought as only Roosevelt can think, and the throbs of his vibrating thoughts pul- sated through the capital, Denounces Secret-Service Hureau, ‘There was an impromptu Cabinet con Insert Your Ad. for To-Morrow Where It Will Cause You No Sorrow, 791 BUT 335 World Wants Never Fail. 11) JANITORS DS.10] JANITRE . 4] KITCHEN’ Paid Help Wants in this morning’s World, Paid Help Wan's in the 13 other New York papers combined.

Upon these he will seek to secure her immediate custody if found, should she fall to respond to her hus- band's appeal.
