STORY SAYS PRESi-
DENT ANGERED BECAUSE
PITTSBURGERS CALLED HIM

A special from Washington under
date of Wednesday says: There is
an interesting story behind the action
OF President Roosevelt in directing
the suspension of the pilots license
of Capt Clarence L. Nichols of the
steamboat Fred Hartweg.
When the paraGe-fourteen of fif-
teen vessels in aii-started from

sipli. which was impolite. as foot.
loot was supposed to mean Get
back IA line and don't bother us"
But the Fred Hartweg took it kind
,ly and showed that no resentment
was felt by blowing its siren some
more. Then the Pittsburgers get
their lungs TO work and gave vent 10
their JOY as they spied the president
or the quarter deck. They called him
Teddy" aud made manifest a desire
to be understood as believing he was
the boy for them.
Now. anybody who knows Mr..
Roosevelt even fairly well Is aware
that he doesn't like 10 be called
Teddy" There is a popular misc0n-
eeptiCn to the contrary. but the presi-
dent never could abide the nickname.
Every time the prescribed enconium
came from the Fred Hartweg the
PittsbBrg Commercial club became
more and more unpopular aboard the
Mississippi They kept this up TIL
Memphis was almost reached. when
the boat was got rid by a r7ise.
