at Oyster By.
In the vernacular of the aecret servlcs
men who guard the president s summer
home at Oyster Ray all cranks are '-bugs. '
and in this category are placed a great
variety of well meaning human beings. In
the eyes of the service all men and women
who call upon ths president with personal
grievances to air or with schemes to un
fold are "buggy." and will bear watching.
For many months after the Buffalo trag
edy tha list of dangerous and suspicious
characters Included almost alH strangers
of foreign apppearance, and any unknown
calier at the White House who had an im
pediment to his speech stood a fair chance
of landing in the lockufi for Inquiry Into
his mental condition. While this state of
secret ervlee hysteria continued a 'number
of perfectly rational women and men were
bundled down to police headquarters, there
to be bundled out asaln, with apologies, and
a great many "plain drunks" w ho happened
to wander into the sacred precincts of the
White House grounds were seised on the
charge of harboring anarchistic designs
upen the head of the administration. The
detectives are nut quite so suspicious nowa
days, but U one has business with the
president or hla secretary It will pay to be
hrtAf and. to the point when slating the
errand. If you have novel theories to de
monstrate regarding the laws of gravita
tion, the power of explosive or the habits
of the people of Mara, resorve them for
the ear of the man you want to see don't
tell them o the secret service gusrd
The young man who traced to Saga
more Hill from New Jersey in an automo
bile on Monday, morning, landing In the
presldj-nfa front yard at 4 a. m.. followed
thla wise course, and consequently 1s still
t large. Had he 'old hla business to the
secret service men at the hill he would In
all probability have been detained, and
might even now be languishing behind the
bars at the Mlneola Jail. Hut he had the
good Judgment to maintain a dlpnltled si
lence when asked) about his mission to the
president merely said he would call later
after seeing the secretary and went back
to town In his auto. When he met the sec
retary he was a little more communicative,
but not much. "I have some great Im
provements In submarines to show the
president." ho said to Mr Loeb. "and as it
Is Important that my plans be adopt ed be

Soulier I see him the better It will be for
the nation."

"We are trying to give the president a
real vacation thla summer." replied Mr.
Loeb. "end In order to spare him as much
'.rouble and work as possible are transact
ing practically all official business here at
tr.e office. Can you not tell me )qur
plans?"
'Impossible. No one but the president
shall learn of my Invention. If I told
everybody all I know,' why, everybody
would know as much as 1 dx"
"That's ao," agreed toe eeoretary.

so that I can convey to the president at
least some Inkling of the importance of
your Inventions."
"Well, In the first place," replied the
Jersey Inventor, Impressively, "all the
builders of submarines have started wrong.
They've built their boats of steel and Iron.
Anyone who gives the matter a moment's
thought can see that wood is the only
proper material. Now, what I want the
president to do In the first place Is to get
after the Lumber trust. If the price of
lumber is brought down to where it ought
to be we would have all the timber we
wanted for the construction of a great
fleet of these submarines. Do you Login
to see the Idea?"
Secretary Loeb thought he began to see
clearly, but he assured the stranger that
It was a matter entirely out of the presi
dent's hands. The proper oftlolal for him
to see about the building of submarines was
the chief of the construction bureau of the
navy at Washington. If the president
were to see him and talk all day wfth
him the matter would have to be referred
to the chief naval constructor anyway. If
he had any documents that he cared to
leave for the president to look over he
netfcht do so, but It would not be at all
convenient for the president to see him
in person.
The Inventor from New Jersey thanked i
the secretary for his trouble, expressed the
hope that tho administration would not
regret Its course and bowed himself out.
Before leaving Oyster Bay he assured the
newspaper men that there would be some
thing well .worth publishing about hla In
vention one of these days. In the mean
time, however, he Intended to keep his
mouth shut, for If he told tbe world all
he knew the world would know quite as
much as he did.
The "bug crop" at Oyster Vey this year
Is much smuller tliust usual. Ki the secret
service man intimutcd. but, r.n he also said,
the arrival of one will probably be followed
by otbers. Like Cres, suicides, storms and
other sensations, elemental or human, the
visits of cranks "come In bunches." There
will be periods of months. .In Washington
or Oyster Bay, during which the president's
i guards w ill not encounter a single person
who gives evidence of thinking crooked
upon any subject ujider the sun. All the
president s callers will be of the every
day. business or sociul variety, and the de
lectlves will begin to think that the lat
"bug" has left the country. Then one will
show up with a weird story that he must
tell the president, and Inside of tewnty
four hours there will be four or five others.
One of them will have a scheme for har
nessing the stars; another will come with
a grievance against the secretary of state
because he allows King Meneltk to possess
more than one consort; a third will demand
that the pension commissioner be fired
from his Job for falling to grant a stipend
to all the hens that lay more than twelve
eggs a month, and a fourth will claim to be
tho president's long-lost son by a spirit
wife.
Mostly Harmless.
By far the greater number of the presi
dents unwelcome callers are perfectly
harmless. They would no more Injure a
hair of his head than they would cut oft
their right hands, but, as has proved In
more than one dibtresstng instance, the
most peaceful looking and Innocent "bug"
may, without a moment's warning, develop
homicidal tendencies of the most violent
character. James Sclsole, for many, year

knife. The weapon was taken from him,
but not until after he had stabbed the
policeman. There was tho lnsano farmer
from Syosset, Welnbrenner by name, who
called at Sagamore Hill one summer's night
three years ago, to demand the hand of
Miss Alice from the president. He loved
the young woman, he said, and was certain
that she loved him. Nothing stood In the
path of their happiness but the cold, crunl
father, and to Induce the latter to seal their
bliss with the paternal blessing Welnbren
ner carried a couple of loaded .38 calibre re
volvers. Two secret service men had one
of the battles of their lives before they
managed to take the guns away from him.
The president had not been here u week
this summer before "The Woman In Blue"
put in an appearance. Hhe Is Mrs. Lucy
Lee of Manhanset, and although she has
made pVobahly fifteen trips to Oyster Bay
within the last three years, no one has
yet been able to discover Just what she
want from the executive. Sometimes she
hires a team In the village and rides to
Sagamore Hill; at others she walka the
three miles. When she reaches the presi
dent's grounds she tells the secret service
men that she wishes to see the head of
the administration "on business." No
amount of persuasion will Induce her to
state her "business," and after a while sho
goes back to the railroad station with her
errand unfulfilled.
Luckily, perhaps, for the president, a
great many of the cranks who finally land
In the vicinity of his home send him fair
warning of their plans. "I will call upon
you at the White house and demand that
you answer to me, personally, for all the
high crimes and misdemeanors you have
committed." writes one. 'Trepare your de
fense, for I will be there nt 1.' "0 p. ,n. on
the ICth Inst." When the man calls he Is
greatly- surprised and hurt to find that
Instead of the president waiting for hiia
with his defense there an it coiip'o of se
cret service men waiting for him with
handcuffs. Frequently the unbidden guests
further facilitate the work of the det-c-tlves
by sending the president their photo
graphs. "Behold the countenance of tho
Moses who will lead the American people
out of the wilderness." writes one. "You
have had your chance to lead them and
have failed." When Moses reaches the
president's office the secret service men
gently lead him to the nearest homo of
detention. A great many of the president's
freaky correspondents write him for tho
purpose of warning him of conspiracies.
These plots are usually hatched In the rah
Inet or In the Innermost circle of the presi
dent's personal friends, and why he has not
detected them long before the date of the
warning letters the writers are at a loss
to understand. But he Is put on his guard
and If he falls by tho machinations of his
ministers or his tennis court friends, his
political blood he upon his own head. Still
more horrible are the plots and counterplot
that are Incubated against the president In
the elements and among the lower ani
mal. "Beware of the files!" yells one of
the well meaning correspondents, on parer.
"There 1s a, great battle now going on be
tween the files that are for you and the
flies tlint. are BBslnst y m. If the files that
are against you triumph over the file that
are for you, beware! Beware!"
Mavbe that'e the reason all the screen
at Sagamore Hill were put In order early
thl tummer. But the aecret service men
who patrol the gravel walk In front and
rear of the house are more concern.! the&

The comparisons are ma le with the state s
agricultural prosperity In the early 8V3.
In some districts land values have de
