CRANK SEEKS HIM. ROOSEVELT IS SAVED , BY SECRET SERVICE MEN. Loaded Revolver Is Carried loci dem Shows Wiedom of M .in taining Close Guard Over the President. V. Oyster Bay, L. I., Sept. 2 Henry Weilbrenuer was arrested at Sagamore Hill last night while making a preeistent demand to see President Roosevelt. The man was arm.d ith a revolver, fully loaded, H was taken to the vil lage and placed in the town prison. Shortly after lo o'clock last night Weilb'fnner drove to Sigamore Hill in a phaeton. He was stop ped by the Secret Service men on : duty. -Weilbrenner said he had a personal engagement with . the President, and desired to see hini. As it was 'long after the hour when visitors are received, the officer de elined to permit him to go into the house. The man insisted, but the ' officer turned hin away; Soon after Weilbrenner returned, and again insisted that he be allow ed to see the President if only for a inute. This time hi was ordered away and warned not to return. Just before 11 o'clock the man re turned and a third time demanded of the officer that he be permitted to seethe President at once. The efficers promptly seized him and drew him out of the vehicle over the front wheel. The scuffle attract ed the President's attention. He appeared at tha door overlooking the driveway from the veranda as Weilbrenner was being taken into . the stables, b:tt returned to the li brary almost immediately. After the man had been turned back a second time, despite his insistence that he had an engagement with the President, the officer, to make assurance doubly sure, inquired of the President about the -fellow. Mr, Roosevelt was in his library, only a short distance' from the epot where the officer had stopped Wel bVenner's horse, He had told the officer that he had no engagement rt& an body. - a i IL'ter Weilbrenner was brongbt to the village and looked up. He is five feet five inches high, 28 years of age, has a 'medium-sized dark mustache, black eyes. -and is evi dently of German descent. He re- :J : o 1 vi. G M inland from Oyster Bay. Hj was well dressed in a suit of black ma terial, and wore an oldfashioned Derby hat. It is thought by the officers that Weilbrenner was accompanied by two other men 8S t'aeir footprints "were found in the mud alongside of the buggy track?. ; In viw of this fact, tha officer on duty tele phoned to the village for assistance, and was soon joined by two Secret Sirvice offijert. , While Weilbiennei talked ration ally to the officers list night, it seems evident from his conversa tion today that he is demented. He said that he had received a tel egraphic message from the Presi dent directing him to call at Saga more Hill. Veilbrenaer's buggy was taken to a local livery barn. When ask ed what b came of the rig, Weil brenner replied: , Ob, the President has taken care of it. That's all right." : Weilbrenner is reported by those who have eeen him to be a danger ous lunatic. ' At Syosset it is learned tbat the the man is the son of a truck far mer, and is one of three boys. He has two sisterB. The; family is re spectable and is held in general esteem. Weilbrenner several years ago had a nervous attack, which rendered him mentally helpless for a day or two but his family thought he had been quite restored by med ical treatment. Since then he had manifested no symptoms of mental abberation. He had no socialistic or anarchistic tendencies, so far as known, never having been interest ed in questions of that kind. He was employed daily on his father,s : farm. . - 'Constantinople, Sept.: 1. Chil dren playing in the street of the Obstakeny district, near the Yildiz Kiosk, today saw a hot air balloon alight, and examination proved that it contained & bomb with a fuse attached. It is believed that the balloon was Bet free by agents of the revolutionists, who hoped it would alight within tbe iiJdiz Ki osk and blow up the sultan's pal ace. ' ' ; ' " The incident has aroused a wild search both within the palace and throughout the city for the guilty parties. , San Francisco, Sept. 1 Detect Uvea have been sent to Pttaluma on a new clue in the Bowers poisoning case. It baa been learned that William - Walh. .' a sslo mkeeper there, told Bowers of a man named Leary and , his intimacy with his wife, and that Bowers met and beat Leary -severely, for the same. Leary denies any knowldge of the poison ing, but the police believe Walsh will be able to settle the point. At torney Thomas Vaughn arrived this morning from Portland to as sist in the defense of Mrs. Bjwers. He was sent by Mrs. Byers the mother of the accused woman. One detective who is very famil iar with the case stated this morn ing that there was no doubt tbat Walsh had lots of information guid ed from Leary, who was a frequent er of his place. . It is the belief of this detective that Mrs. Bowers re sented the attack made on Lary by her husband, and that together they, concocted a scheme to rid themselves of him. St. Louis, Sept. 1. Alma Toom ey, aged 12 years, who was stabbed on August 7 .by Thomas Barnes her aged suitor, will be able to leave the hospital in a few days. She has completely recovered from the wonderful operation of displac ing her hert The girl's heart was lifted out of its cavity by physicians and placed on her chest, where it was examined and found uninjured.
