WILSON IS
i GUARDED AS
IN WAR TIME
Never So Many Safeguards
Thrown Around U. S.
Chief Executive
WASHINGTON. — (Special.)—
Never, even in the days of the civil
war have such detailed precautions
been taken to guard the safety of a
president ot the United states .is
those which are today thrown around
President Wilson.
The keenest secret service men of
the various bureaus throughout the
country have been brought to Wash
ington for the president's bodygaurd.
Where the president goes, some o'*
them are there ahead ot him.
When he leaves, some precede,
some accompany and some follow
him.
Always Guarded
Walking or sleeping, he is always
under the alert guardianship of lynx
eyed, athletic operatives whose sole
duty is to protect the chief executive
from even the approach of danger or
annoyance.
Plans for guarding the president
and the white house were all worked
out 24 hours before President Wil
son announced to congress that ho
had handed von Rernstorff his pass
ports.
Chief Klynn came from New Yo>k.
personally directed the arrangements |
and summoned his most trusted men
for body-guard duty.
And when the president, returning
from the capitol, drove through the
big gates of the white house g.o aids
and they swung to behind him, he
found himself as completely cut o?
from contact with the public; and his
every movement as careful-y safe
guarded, as they would he in actual
war time.
The man actively in charge of
guarding the president is Joe Murphy,
who through long years in the secret
service and on duty at the white
house and executive oltcest knows how
to handle every situation to minimize
the chances of danger.
The chief of the bodyguard squad
proper, who is to be found at the
president's side whenever he steps
outside the white house, who is al
most as inseparable as his shadow, is
Richard Jarvis, a tried and true oper
ative.
Capt. Jack Washer of Cleveland,
and John Slye and Ed Starling,
white house operatives, are in sub
ordinate command of details of the
secret service guard.
In addition to the added secret ser
vice men, extra capitol police have
been put in and around the white
house. All the big gates to the
grounds are closed and guarded, and
anyone entering by the only open way
—past the executive office—must run
the guantlet of both police and secret
tumn sowing and 10,000,000 to 11.

SOUGHT TO KILL
PREMIER WITH
POISON DARTS
Prosecutor Says English
Women Conspired To
Kill Lloyd George
DERBY, England. — (Special.)—
The Guild Hall was crowded and
many persons were unable to obtain
admission when Attorney General Sir
t
Frederick Smith opened the case
early in February against 4 persons
accused of conspiracy to murder Pre
mier David Lloyd George and Arthur
Henderson, member of the war coun
cil.
The accused are Mrs. Alice Wheel
don, her two daughters. Mrs Alfred
G. Mason and Miss Ann Wheeldon,
and Mrs. Mason’s husband.
A sensation was created when At
torney General Smith charged it had
been intended to murder the premier
by poisoned darts to be shot at him
while playing golf.
Both the premier and Mr. Hender
son were to be killed, he added, by
poison sent in tubes to Derby and
handed by Mrs. Wheeldon to an agent
employed by the military authorities,
who had ingratiated himself into her
favor.
The poison comprised hydrochlor
ide, strychnine and an American In
dian poison called curere, said to be
used in poisoning arrows.
The attorney general said the first
government agent introduced another
man in the government service to
Mrs. Wheeldon.
“These two men,” he continued,
“called upon Mrs. Wheeldon on Jan
uary 1, but she announced that the
poison which was to be turned over
to them was not ready.
> Could Have Killed 500
“When Mrs. Wheeldon was asked
how much the vial contained when
she last saw it she answered: ‘Enough
to kill 500/ ”
Mrs. Wheeldon, according to the at
torney general, said the suffragists
had spent “00 to 1.500 pounds in at
tempts to poison Mr. Lloyd George, j
and that an attempt also had been
made on Heginald McKenna, former
chancellor of the exchequer.
It would be possible, she had sug
gested, the prosecutor continued, to
drive a nail dipped with pioson into
the boot of the victim and such an at
tempt had been contemplated, but
failed.
