Miss Alice Roosevelt, who is in town with
Congressman Nicholas Longworth, to whom
she is engaged to be married, spent part OF
yesterday on trip to Hoboken with Mr..
Longworth to meet the Kaiser Wilhelm der
Crosse, on which was the Countess de
Chambrun, Mr.. Longworth's sister. The
Countess has come to America to attend
Miss Roosevelts marriage.
The driver OF the electric cab that bore
Miss Roosevelt and her fance to the foot
Of Whitehall street did not know the loca-
ton OF the dock Of the revenue cutters.
which is next door to the Barge Office. He
let them out at the Governors Island land
ing, hundred feet East Riverward There
Miss Roosevelt and Mr.. Longworth were
discovered by some of the revenue cutter
men and steered into the iron gate next to
the Barge Office and down to the revenue
cutter landing.
Deputy Collector Williams and Capt.
Newcomb of the revenue cutter service
took charge of Miss Roosevelt and Mr..
Longworth and put them aboard the rev.
enue cutter Manhattan 80 swiftly that even
the most alert of the snapshot experts
barely had time to press their buttons be-
fore Pilot James Bra adley, Jr,. had the cutter
under way. Miss Roosevelt went into the
pilot house and young Bradley expla ined
to her everything visible afoat and ashore.
Naturally, when the Manhattan came
alongside of the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse
the polite Germans wanted to have Miss
Alice come aboard by the compa nionway,
a princesses or potentates do. She waived
the privilege and declared that the sea
ladder was good enough for her. Mr.. Long
worth was as anxious to dispense with
qua rterdeck formalties as his fancce,
and so the sea ladder was lowered from
the deck down the port side Of the lofty liner.
aft.
Mr. Longwort h's sister was at the rail to
receive her brother and her future sister,
in-law Very few of the Kaiser's passen-
gers knew until after the ship was well on
her way to her dock that the President q
daughter was aboard. The party did not
come out on deck until the liner was in the
neighborhood of Liberty Island. Then
nearly all the other passengers made 1t
point to stroll past Miss Roosevelt, the
Countess and Mr.. Longworth. and make
note Of their appearance While the
Countess was in her cabin Deputy Collect or
Williams took her declaration She had
nothing dutiable.
Hardly soul of the several hundred on
the pier knew of the coming of Miss Roose-
welt. They we're informed by the photo
graphic phalanx, which rushed toward the
gangplank and prepared to set of fash
lights. Miss Roosevelt and MIR. Long
worth walked swiftly to the elevator on the
pier to avoid crowd which had gathered
to sec them. The Countess was much dis
tresscd by the demonstration, and was glad
apparently that her brother had taken the
mob away from her. A camera man set
off hashlight with bang that momen-
tarily startled the crowd and caused it to
fall back, under the impression that the
explosion was something serious.
Miss Roosevelt is staying with Mrs. Robert
Goelet, whose home is at 90 East Seventy
second street. The house was surrounded
early yesterday morning by curious
crowd OF photograph takers and of persons
who hoped to get chance to see the Presi-
dent daughter. Partly for that reason
Miss Roosevelt put off her visit to the mili-
ners and dressnakers who are making
her wedding clothes
Mrs. Goelet and Miss Roosevelt left the
house about II O'Clock and drove to the
residence of Mrs. Ogden Mills, whose daugh-
ters are friends of Miss Roosevelt.
There the carriage was dismissed and a
little later Miss Roosevelt with Mrs, Goelet
and the Misses Mills, started to walk up
Fifth avenue to Mrs. Goelet's home.
On their way uptown they were so much
annoyed by men with cameras that Miss
Roosevelt stopped and asked them to give
up taking pictures of her. No attention
was paid to her request.
A number of dresses made for Miss Roose.
welt were sent to Mrs. Goelet's home yes
terday.

ner last night by Mrs. Goelet. The other
guests were Mr. Longworth, the Count
and Countess de Chambrun, Mr.. and Mrs
Harry Payne Whitney, Major Creighton
Webb, the Misses Mills, Lloyd Warren and
