end comes that your fellow man is little better
and not little worse off because you have lived
| That is success. The great prizes come more
or less by accident. But 20 each man comes
normally the chance so TO lead his life that at
the end of his days his children, his wife, those
that are dear to him. shall rise up and call him
blessed, and that his neighbors and those
who have been brought into intimate association
with him may feel that he has done his part as
a man in world which sadly needs that each
man should play his part well.
Now, gentlemen. have to say good night, be-
cause this has been such a delightful dinner
that already find staying pretty nearly
as late as can stay and catch the train that
is TO take me back to my regular work at WASH
ington; and have come. as said. not to mako
a set speech. but to thank you for your greet
ing, and to assure you that not meeting which
have attended since have been President has
given me greater pleasure 20 attend than this
dinner here tonight.
Scarcely had the President uttered his last
word than the Secret Service men swarmed
around the main table, and with a flying wedge
formation spirited him through a bruised and
resentful crowd past the narrow hallway and
up the stairs TO the reception room. Then
police sergeant in uniform, with half a dozen
patrolmen, was sent to hold the stairs.
Ten minutes later, when some Of the members
of the reception committee who had been barred
by the police and the Secret Service men had
their way out of a side door hatless and,
reaching the front entrance, had made their
presence known, the sergeant was instructed to
let the club guests and members mount the
stairs to the cloakroom.
By that time the President and his escort had
left the building and were out of sight For
time while the police held the stairs against all
comers it looked if there might be panic
in the room. Arms were crushed in and collars
torn.
The President before departing, shook hands
with District Attorney Jerome and 1t was said
that Mr. Jerome received a cordial invitation
to visit the White House in the future.
President Roosevelt left the restaurant at
11:15 O'Clock Entering his carriage with COM
missioner McAdoo and Secretary Loeb. he raised
his hat repeatedly to the cheering spectators.
Accompanied by about twenty mounted police
men the carriage whirled to the Desbrosses-
ct. ferry.
Alghting from his carriage at the ferryhouse,
the President eluded the Secret Service men
for few moments, when he rushed back and
thanked and complimented the mounted police
men. He heartily congratulated Acting Captain
Burke on his marriage, and exclaimed: Let the
good work go on!'
President was met there by Mrs. Roosevelt
and Mrs. Douglas Robinson. They entered the
car Rocket of the Washington express which
started at 1876.
A platoon of police, under the command of
Chief Murphy guarded the party. At the steps
of the car the President shook hands with Chief
Murphy.
