Boston, Feb. 25. - President
Roosevelt started for Washington
last night
The president devoted Sunday TO
trip to Crotch. 40 miles from
Boston. where his son, Kermit, is
pupil at the Groton preparatory
school. Mrs. Roosevelt and Miss
Ethel Roosevelt were already there
and the presidene was accompanied
by Mrs. Longworih.
President Roosevelt was the guest

In most cases when officers of the

by the war department to make ex-
plantations. This has not been done
lin the present instance because the
lOfficials do not think that General
Grant intended to criticise the pres

Grant will voluntarily make report
to the department. l. is an open
question whether the remarks as
lqroted were meant to reflect on the
president or on the conditions which
made it possible for the meeting of
Mayor Schmitz and the president.
