Wnfthtagton RoccUl. Jan· 19. Practically an entire change in the personnel of the secret service officer* who guard the preaident and hia family at Oys ter Bay will be made this year. John P. Wilkie, chief of the se cret service, draws each summer upon bis force of operatives from all parts of the country to obtain the most trustworthy men to place «round the preaident at bis Oyster Rsy home, It is nec essary that the work of looking after the personal safety of the president sboold be done by the secret service at Oyster Bay, be cause the town affords none of ita citisens adequate police pro tection. Usually nine secret service men are detailed by Chief Wilkie for service at Oyster Bay during tbe aojonm there of the pres ident. The president's home, at Sagamore Hill, ia guarded at all hours of the day and night. Two men are on doty constant ly, one io front and the other at the rear of tbe house. This year Jamea Sloan and 8tepben Connell, tbe two officers who are detailed regularly at the White House, will alternate on the day assignment at Sagamore Hill. They are acquainted per sonally with nesrly oil people likely to call at the Roosevelt home, and discretion, therefore, is sHven them as to the reeen tkm tbejr accord casual visitor*. Ordinarily, nobody ia permitted to approach the presidents home unless be may have an en· gagemeut with the president made through Secretary Loth. Such η regulation ia necessary In order that the preaident may not be overrun with caller· whoa· businesa is not of suf ficient importance to demand his Personal attention. It occasion ally happens that friend* of the preaident whom be may desire to sen call at Sagamore Hill without previously having made • definite engagement. In such instance* Sloan and Connall ex ercise their discretion about ad· milting them. They mkke no mistakes. They are not there to make mistakes. It ia practically impossible for η visitor to reach the preaident at night during his aoiotirn at 8acAIBor* "ill aniens be ahall base made aa engagement. No discretionsry authority ia lodged with the officer» on duty ft night. The duties perfveed by the a«c ret service at Oyster Bay are exacting bat not ooerona on the tndietdasl officers. The men are oa doty ia "tricks" aad have ample time fav rest and recrea tion. Aa stated above, tbe per sonnel of the officer· this year «111 be different from that of last Mtsntr, becanaa Chief Wlikie saws -ussAt (j£ggi g basa sense of tbeff fe i iponaibility. The président always ha» b*en just a little restless under the constant guard by which he is •urrouoded, bat his fiieodt and κdvisors will uot coaseot to its removal, and be submits as gracefully as possible. Many times, however, in the coarse of the summer, he goes far away from Sagamore Hill entirely uu guarded. He takes long walks through the woods, or goes lor boat-ndes on the souud, or rides db horse-back many miles from bis hone. On these excursions be is unaccompanied by secret ■ervice officers. The thought of personal danger never occurs to Rim. . While the president is in Washington the situation is dif-, ferent. He rarely steps outside ] ai the White House that be is not "picked up" immediately by secret service officers or police· men, who, under their orders, remain near him nntil he returns to the White House. No chances are taken by the author ise » in leaving the liie oi the president of the United States unguarded for a moment.

June 26.—A notable anti-trust decision was handed down in the Circuit Court yea· terday by Judge Ryan who ruled that a purchaser does not have to pay for good» bought from a ίο-called ttust.' The Cahill Swift Manufacturing Company lied suit for $240 against Joseph P. Walsh, a plumber, on the allegation that Walah had bought goods to the value of the judgment asked and had re fused to pay for them. Walah acknowledged that this warn true. Bat his counsel termed the company a "trust" and argued that Walah did not have to pay for goods bought from a trust any more than he woo Id have to pay a gambling debt.

WaièfaHoa |>ml When Lincoln Beachey, the boy aeroaaut in the Knaben •hue airship Ko. 2, «ailed around Ibe monument twice Thursday, visited the White House, and went down Pennsylvania Ave· due, down the post office build ing, alighting on the south side of the Capitol amid the cheers of several thousand persons, bis visit to the capitol stopped the wheels of legislation and left Senator Bail y addressing empty chairs. Less than 25 Represen tatives remained in the House, and without a quorum no busi ness was transacted until the sky pilot arose again like an im mense bird and sailed away to Lena Park, where she had started at 10 Α. m . Drivers left their delivery wagons full of κ roc cri es stand ing wherever they happened to be and ran for the most conven ient place to see the airship. Switca lenders ran away from their posts and left the cars to get by the crossings, the best wijj they could. Clerks dropped their pencils, stenographers de serted their typewriters, end the windows of the office buildings were stuffed full of persona cran ing their necks to see the dariag young iky-pilot as he coolly rode along on his lofty perch, steer ing the vessel at bis will and wAving back at the thousands of hats and handkerchiefs he saw down where the world was. "Did you see it?" everybody was asking everybody else, and this query became so monoto nous to some that they pinned little typewritten badges on their coat lapels, which read, "I saw >» « ■ Dow· town looked like inaug ural day, and everybody cot (all of tbe craw, taking it home with bio and passing it among bia neighbor·. Beacbey did everything he «aid he would do when he came to Washington, Jane 12tb, to fill a week'· engagement for Knaben abue, tbe recognised king of tbe air. He said be would tail ont with bis aerodome end cover tbe itinerary justas ha did, aad sail right back into the booth, where the air craft is now resting for another flight, of. which there will be several before the en* gageaient end» Jane IBtb. "It was tha easiest flight I bava ever made," aaid tbe nav igator, who fell ont of the aky at Clevelaod a few days ago. ^Tbe air was jost calm enough ι the sights wire Jest beautiful, and everybody I saw bad on a pleasant smile and a mouthful of cheers. Waahington looked like a huge flower garden fall of black a αν ses aad bags ai seen from the sky. I could faintly beer the cheering end dimly see tbe salutation· aa I passed along. As I started np after my rest at the CapHot, one man shouted s Keep y oar emu ia or yon will get them knocked ofl by the stars.' I may be ab1« to visit tbt stars before I get through, because I am not half done and the question of navi gating is no longer an experi ment. I can go to breakfast in my airship." The airship first made its ap pearance to Washington people shortly alter 10 o'clock, when it was observed slowly growing bigger across the Potomac river. As it grew plainer and the black speck on the frame below the balloon, which was the naviga tor, became more perceptible, the excite men t grew ana when Dcacbcy descended at the mon ument be found himself in the midst of a carious crowd. The drives were lined with grocery wagons, laundry wagons, auto mobiles, bicycles and other kinds of vehicles and the east side of the monument was black with a mass of humanity. The first stop was made in or der that a slight break might be repaired. Witbia half an hour Beachey climbed upon the frame of the airship, ordered those who held it at anchor to let go, and kissing his hand to the crowd, ha arose and wound around the monument Hke a spring, until he was near ha top, when be drove northward and to the White booae. The airship de scended in the White House grounds on the south aide. Mrs. Roosevelt was standing at the window. She exhibited a great deal of interest. Aller (caring a meaaage m the President, «ho «u «ot at home, Beachey stepped back upon the triangular frame, started the guolne engine pop· ping, aod while th« circular fence was lined with persons craning, their necks to ace. he shot op again. His cours· was directly down Penueylvaaia av enue, and hie path was strewn far below with thouiandi el hu manity. The yellowish vessel, with ks white rudder wagging back and forth like the taiiof a winglesa bird ead its propeller in front spinning, a ο » e d along apparently slowly, tut within seven or eight minutât those who watched from th· direction of the Treatnry build ing, saw the airship pass on the other side of the Capitol dome aod disappear. The porticoes of the soath aide of the Capitol were lined with Seaatots and repre»eutatlveaaad clerks and attendante when the airship slowly settled on Um pavement. Those employed in offices on the west side of the building rnibed through the corridors, bumping into the statesmen, who were also la a harry to bave a look. la fact, there was little «ate at the Cipitol from th· time the sky boat first showed on the horiaee until the cloiing hour. Not 1· maay day· has Washington had •neb an apheaval as the airthif can sad, and nowhere la the eft) waa It felt more than at th· Capitol. while they stood aad watched the eattoaal law-auker· «ho had left importaat measures la th< •cales, diacuaaed the achieve meats of the young Auerictat, «ho are rearing an twiyfay thing oat of tk tirtkip sitiou, which I* a Sunday with M. Saatos Damoat, •ay. "Who ia the navigator?" soae one would ask. "Oh. rmu kid they hired to tighten botta or oil machinery, who got enough wiadotn to start an airship of Us own," wo aid he the answer. "I know bin," said another. "He's Beacbey, and be get· · •alary for risking his life three or four ti»ea a week. Ha ia the inventor of tho gas gcaeratittg outfit that goes along with the boat, and the maker 6f the pro· pellcr. When be took charge of the boat, which, in fact, ha practically built, there waa a big tin propeller oa it that weurhed about 30 pounds. He threw it away and built osa that •fclgha not more than stxpouads And coat 13 JO." Young Beacbey does not die· enes bis private aflaira, hot ha is ever ready to tall about his trip· in the air, and yesterday at the Capital be prolonged Ua stay to caplaia to curious per· •ana why the airship would not guide itself and wbr he could nX jump off while it was run give it a shove aad gel on again.
