ROOSEVELT GUARDED

EXTRAORDINARY PRECAUTION IN NEW YORK LAST NIGHT

THE PRESIDENT MET A FRIEND

Heard Mike Cronin's Name Called Out and Ushered Him To Seat on the Stage.

\\KW YORK, Feb. 27.—During the few hours President Koosevelt spent, hern yesterday as the guest of the Methodists at the celebration of the 200th birthday anniversary of John Wesley, he was closely guarded. Four secret service men came with him on the specia.1 train from Washington, four more met them at Jersey City. There were also ten Jersey City policemen on duty to guard the walk through the Pennsylvania station. ]n this c-itv the guard was tripled again. A platoon of mounted policemen surrounded the presidential carriage like outriders and escorted him through 23d street and up Fifth avenue to No. 35 West 57th street,, the home of Samuel W. Bowne, the president's host for his fleeting stay.

There twontv-five more policemen were on duty, as well as detectives Kellev. Doran, Fogarty and Downing in civilian dress. At Carnegie Hall Acting Inspector Walsh and Captain Schmitberger massed 125 men to protect the president from harm. He got away at midnight without the slightest mishap. ,Despite this powerful guard, however, a very clever thief, under the eyes of them all. got away with the dress suit ease of the Rev. Dr. Eszra Tipple, one of the committee of two appointed by the Methodists to receive the president. The thief took it on the steps of the Bowne house from a guileless messenger boy to whom the thief represented himself as the owner of the case.

Besides the suit the Rev. Dr. Tipple lost a gold watch, studs and some gold heirlooms that he valued at $1,000.

When President Rosevelt and party arrived at Carnegie hall where the ce!e bration was held, an amusing incident occurred. A dozen lusty blue coats were zealously backing one lone individual who was trying to get close to the president. He turned a curious glance that way. "Here's Mike. Croniiv yelled a lusty voice, despite the policemen. "Delighted" shouted Mr. Roosevelt, breaking away from the formal party and through the police to the man who was getting the worst of it. "What are yon doing here, Mike."' "Why. sir. came to hear you speak niid these idjits wont let me in/' "They won't?" re-echoed the president. "Come with inc."

At that Mr. Roosevelt seized the arm of the plainly garbed man who had spok en and escorted him within and did not let go of him until he had a good seat on the phi-tform. "He's Mike Cronin."' explained the president. "The man who drove me to "North (reek station^ twenty miles through the Adirondaeks the day WPS starting to Buffalo to take the oath as president."

/MO JOKE

But 90 lbs. of Solid Flesh.

It Mark Twain should write a story Stiout a person who weighed 90 pounds and increased her weight to 1808 pounds (6r double) in one year by quitting coffee and drinking Postuni Coffee everyone who read it would say "There's a joke behind that somewhere."

There is a well-known lady in Coraopolis, Pa., who actually made this gain in weight as the direct result of leaving oft coffee and taking up Postum Food Coffee1. It was a very earnest matter :ind far from a joke for her. Her gain in general health kept pace with the increase in weight.

She says: "For many years I suffered with stomach derangement and violent and oft-recurring headaches. It was not an unusual thing for our family of four to use 2y3 to 3 pounds of coffee a week. was suspicious that my troubles were due to coffee, but as I did not like tea or cocoa or chocolate there seemed no palatable hot drink for me to take at my meals. "Then it was heard of Postum and deciced to try ,it. was just convalescing from a serious illness, and was very weak and emaciated. 1 know it sounds like what people would call a 'fish story' but 1 actually went from !0 pounds to ISO pounds weight in one year. All the sallowness disappeared from my skin and I now carry my 40 years very lightly indeed. My change in health is so "great, that many of my friends make a "joke of it to this day but my nerves uire good and I am happy and contented can afford to laugh with them. *'I first learned of Postum from a family in Indianapolis where 1 saw the motliof six children emerge from invalidism to perfect health on Postum after 'leaving off coffee. Soon after that an.olher friend made a remarkable recovjjjery by dropping coffee and using Posftum and when I moved here a neighbor Isliook off coffee and nervous dyspepsia |and built himself up on the food drink. #0 1 heard of one after another until don't know how many I listve known who have recovered fr-on? 'disease of some sort by leaving oft*, the drug coffee and Using Postum Food coffee. "You are at liberty to use my name," lame given-ly Postiuii Co., Battle jCrcek, Mich.

WILL ENLARGE PUNT

VIGO ICE AND COLD 8TORAGE CO. BRANCHING OUT

WILL DOUBLE ITS CAPACITY

Sixty Foot Addition Will Be Added To Building and Machinery Will Be Improved.

The Vigo' Ice and Cold Storage company have been enjoying a season of prosperity and their increase of business has made an enlargement of the plant necessary. Material has been ordered and as soon as it is certain that spring has set in. work on extensive improvements will begin.

The plans have been made and when the work is completed the capacity of both ice and storage will be double what it is now. For the' past year the company has been cramped for space, and the increase of business with prospects for the future have made the addition absolutely necessary. The addition will extend twenty feet east to the railroad track oil First street, and sixty feet south to the company's property line. The main part of the building will be two stories high and the upper story will be used for storage, as well also as a large portion of the first floor, not occupied by the machinery. The little office which now stands at the south of the plant will be moved away and commodious office with all the modern conveniences will be built in its ?tead. The battery of huge boilers will be strengthened and the machinery through out will be overhauled and much of it replaced with more modern appliances. The management announces that when their present plans are complete tlia Vigo will be among the largest and most complete ice and cold storage plants in western Indiana or eastern Illinois. No contract will be let but the work wi'fT be under the direct supervision of the company, and will be begun just as soon as the weather warrants tearing down parts of the old plant. When once begun a large force will be employed and the work hurried to completion.

GALL MASS MEETING

LABOR DELEGATES WILL MEET SUNDAY AT C. L. U. HALL

ADVO'CATE THE UNION LABEL

Organizer Smith is Making a Notable Finish of His Campaign In This City.

Organizer Smith will in a few days at least be called away from Terre Haute to other fields, and in view of this fact is working vigorously to accomplish all that he can before the time comes for him to leave. Revival meetings are beinir held bv all the locals in the hope of reviving the spirit of unionism, and the organizer says that much good is being accomplished in this way.

Tomorrow night, he will address the glass-blowers' union and the local is making an effort to secure a full attendance. The local is in splendid shape, but the object of this meeting is to urge ii member to insist that the union labels be on all goods he buys and that they refuse to deal with any but union men. To this end a meeting is to be held Sunday morning in C. L. It. hall, and each local of the city will be repesented and the great importance of using the union label and. dealing exclusively with union men will be urged. The C. L. I*. has received a letter from Mrs. Anna R. Field, state organizer of the Woman's Label League, urging that local of the branch be formed in this city and at once. She says that in fact the women are the purchasing agents of the union men. and can do much in the effort to secure the union label. The efforts are now being made for such an organization, and it is certain that the organizer will be called here and a charter ordered before many days. At 2 o'clock Sundiav afternoon Mr. Smith will meet with the coopers and horse-slioers and the meeting is to revive interest in these two locals. Sunday is the last day on which charter members will be taken into the horse-shoers union, and it is urged that all who intend to affiliate with the new organization be on hand.

Monday Mr. Smith will respond to an invitation to address a labor mass meeting to be held in the court, house in the Coles county capital. The meeting will be for union men and all who are friendily to unionism and a large attendance is assured.

The organizer does not know just liow long he will be permitted to remain in Terre Haute, but says that he is likely to be Called away any day as lie has already remained longer than was intended when he was assigned to- this locality. While he has worked industriously in the interest of every branch of unionism he has been conservative in all his efforts and utterances, and has doue the cause grcnt good. He has no idea as to what field he will be assigned after being called from Terre Haute, ar, he is subject entirely to the order of President Gompers of the national organization. He will, he thinks be instructed to remain here until after the miners convention, which convenes next Tuesdsv.

DOCTOR FLOWER iS UNDER ARREST

Continued from Page One.

and employed an attorney, who at. on bejtnn lialiens corpus proceedings. The action resulted in 111* being admitted to bail and a professional bondsman who was then about the eouvt house was secured to sign his bail bond. The bondsman was not, worth a do)V.u- and it made no difference how soon doctor left. As soon as he was released, he learned that, there was a detective here from Chicago waiting to arrest him and he made his escape by walking to the O. C. Junction after night and catching a train for Logansport.. The first time Flower was here he was accompanied by Holmes the Chicago criminal who was afterward hanged for murdering some children to get the insurance money. The special from Xew York briefly telling of Flowers' present trouble is as follows:

Believing: that exhuming the body of Theodore Hagaman will bring to light important facts tending to effect a settlement in the dispute of the ?1,600,000 estate, Coroner Jackson and Assistant District Attorney Garvan will apply to the Supreme court for an order permitting the. grave to be opened. "Once I get the body in my jurisdiction," said Coroner Jackson, "I will make a most searching and sifting investigation."

Coroner's Physician O'JIanlon said that although the body had been in the grave for three years that fact would not necessarily make an investigation of no avail. "So far as a microscopical examination of the organs of the deceased is concerned," said Dr. O'Hanlon, the embalming process will tend to preserve the organs, and three years underground will not be enough to destroy them."

District Attorney Jerome, after Mr. Garvan has stated the facts as he knew them, said they warranted a full and complete Investigation. This the district attorney is determined to make.

New and startling facts have been brought to light in connection with Mr. Hagaman's death, which until recently were not known. It is now known that Mr. Hagaman during the last weeks of his life was permitted to come into close contact with no person not under the influence of Dr. Flower.

According to Isaac Hagaman he was not permitted to see his brother or to enter his apartments until the day of hts death. At that time the stricken man was unable to speak, though he tried hard to say something to his brother.

After the funeral it was Dr. Flower who had charge of everything and who offered to the brother and two sisters a settlement of their Interests in the estate.

The run from Jersey City was made without incident.

Before leaving the station the president as is his usual custom, shook hands with the cnyinocr and firemen who brdOght the trw'.p over tha Iaat secilcn of iho road.
