the majority would reach 100000. He
asked, also. as to Pennsylvania con-

assurances. There were no formal
speeches.
1 Owing to extensive depot changes II
was thought to be risky to stop the

there, SO the presidents cars we're de-
tached and run to the suburb OF Shady
side, thus avoiding possible danger, but
disappointing those who had gathered
to give hearty greeting.
