PRINCE Henry ARRIVES IN
WASHINGTON.
Special Train Reaches the National Capital at 1920 This
Morning Where the Prince Is Received in ROyal
Styie-Prince Visits the White House
and Meets President Roosevelt.

Intermingled with the crowd at the
depot was small army Of detectives
and policemen. Special precautions had
been taken for the safety of the prince
and to keep the people from pressing too
closely upon the stage in It's journey
through the public places of the city.
Guarding the Prince.
Assisting the local detectives was
corps of detectives assembled from other
cities, watching fer familiar faces of
criminals and suspects from other
points.
Several mounted policemen guarded
the rear of the train shed. The safe
guarding of the prince was effected not
only by immediate escort, but by a
special detachment Of police under sew
eral leutenants, among whom was di-
vided the responsibility for the order OF
the route from the depot to the White
house.
All these were reinforced by large
number in citizens clothes. AT the White
house "a large detail of police assisted the
regular men in keeping the grounds free
from the intrusion of unauthorized
people.
When the line of carriages bearing the
prince and cortege started from the
depot "a platoon of 16 mounted policemen
wheeled into line and took position at
the head of the column.
Streets Kept Clear.
Shortly before the scheduled hour of
arrival all street service along and
across the line of march had been sus-
pended. All vehicles except those be-
longing 10 the arriving party had been
barred and only authorized persons We're
allowed within the lines.
There were only a few of these. Banked
along each side of the route, in addition
to the police, were over 100 men OF the
District of Columbia military. They
formed q double line of sentinels at in
tervals OF four PAGES, facing, of course,
inwards.
They included the engineers corps,
commanded by .Co,onel Black, formerly
a member of the board of officers OF the
district.
The double line of sentinels left a
gap OF four feet in the avenue and two
feet In Fifteenth street alcng the treas
ury building between them and the peo-
PIE massed along the curb.
