An hour before the time set for the

Street vendors of novelties had come
early to town from New York with a
large supply Of Roosevelt banners and
buttons left over from the 1904 cam
paign and 1905 Inauguration. and they
added much to the general animation.
They had little trouble in disposlng OF
their leftover wares.
Notwithstanding the announcement
that the reception was to be given for
Oyster Bay residents only. many per
sons from nearby towns. and others
from some distance, came to the vii.

For every one the ex-president had
hearty greeting. and with many he
chatted pleasantly for . minute or
more. "reminiscences were numerous
between Mr.. Roosevelt and the older
men. who had known him since an
early age. Almost every mother in
the village brought her children. for
they all know the former president is
great admirer OF children. He was
especially pleased to see them.
One young lady passing through the
line wore a Teddy bear pinned on her
coat. This Mrs. Roosevelt spied at
once. and it brought forth a merry
laugh and the remark: IAN the Teddy
bears are not dead yet. are they?"
When Mr.. Roosevelt saw the young
boys he was particularly pleased.
Some told him they wished him sue
cess in shooting lions. and he respond
ed that he knew he would be sue
cessful.

railway commissions and which is
purely an advisory body. having no
existence under the law. They were
threshed out by a committee which
worked for a year, holding meetings
in various large commercial centers
to which both shippers and railroad
men were invited. Commissioner Lane
was chairman of the committee.
After ihe adoption OF the demur-
rage code by the association, the
traffic managers of the biggest rail-
roads in the country recommended
their adoption by the roads, and they
will go into effect at once.
In the course of its investigations,
the committee unearthed an astound-
ing condition OF affairs. It found
that big shipping interests had sub
stituted violation OF demurrage rules
for the old habit or demanding re-
bates and that by refusing to pay de-
Imurrage charges, they maintained a
supremacy over other shippers who
were forced to return cars on time
or pay the consequences. The "pri-
vate car" was being used, the COM
mittee found, practically TO eliminate
smaller shippers, because no railroad
could exact demurrage charges from
shippers who owned their own cars.
