ROOSEVELT SAYS
 TALK HAS ENDED
TELLS NEWSPAPER MEN AT OYS- TER BAY HE IS ONLY
 PRIVATE CITIZEN.
HE GETS HEARTY GREETING
As the Train Was Three Hours Be- hind Schedule the Party Did Not Expect Ovation That
 Greeted Them.

oyster Bay, New York. - Former President Roosevelt is resting at Sag amore Hill He probably will stay at Oyster Bay two weeks, but he will leave this month for his African hunt ing trip. This was learned by Rev Warren l. Bowman, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church here. who was in charge of the provisions for the reception rendered the former president on his arrival
 Dr. Bowman wished to ascertain the exact date of the departure for the foreign tour, but could not. Oyster Bay will give the Roosevelt party a rousing send-off when it leaves.
 Roosevelt had a ''corking good sleep That is what he said he was going to do when he stepped off the special train that landed him in Oys- ter Bay at 1:25 in the morning, and he kept his word
 It was a family party-and a little one at that-at the Roosevelt place, and the only persons there outside of the immediate Roosevelt circle are Noah Seaman. the superintendent of the estate, and who was on the box of the one-horse coupe that carried the expresident and Mrs. Roosevelt from the station, and the servants.
 "OnIy Private Citizen"
 To the cries at the station for a speech, he answered:
 oNo orp not uOiDo. to do more talking. I am only a private citizen now and there should be no call for me to speak"
 AS an ordinary gentleman and lady of the land, instead of the first gen tleman and lady of the land, the for mer president and Mrs Roosevelt journeyed from the nations capital to Oyster Bay after the cares of office had been lifted from the formers shoulders and placed upon those of William Howard Taft It was in the most democratic manner that the trip from Washington to Oyster Bay was made.
 At the end of the 10-hour journey, after day of momentous events, the former president seemed somewhat weary, but was in the best of spirits.
 Hearty Greeting at Home.
 MT. Roosevelt's special train left Long Island City at 12:26, and as was more than three hours behind the scheduled time, he did not expect that his neighbors in Oyster Bay would re- main up to- greet him at the home coming, as they expected to do. He was agreeably surprised, therefore, when his trained reached Oyster Bay to find the station brilliantly illumi- mated with electric bulbs and Japan csc lanterns, while a big illuminated banner bade him welcome home" Better than all, there was a crowd of from 200 to 300 of his neighbOrs on hand, whom neither the lateness of the hour, the biting wind nor the snow covered roads could deter from wait ing to greet their fellow-townsman.
 The ex-president, we'll pleased at this sign of friendliness. stayed in the station for IS minutes to exchange handclasps with friends. The village band was on hand.
 MT. Roosevelt will devote most of his time between now and his depar- ture for Africa to his work for the Outlook. to which he made his first contribution today.

is to be held in Chicago next Sunday to
discuss the situation.
Conditions are looking brighter ev-
cry day for the ultimate success of the
switchmen. Commercial clubs in differ
ent sections of the country are urging
a speedy settlement, claiming that bust
ness is being paralyzed and that the
losses being sustained are enormous
Public sympathy is with the switch
men, not only for the splendid fight
they are making but because the public
has been brought to realize the simple
justice of their demands. Organized la
Dor is standing solidly behind the
strikers and have offered not only their
moral support, but, what is more TO the
point, their financial assistance if need
ed. Several unions in the city have al
ready voluntarily donated money 10 the
boys to aid them in carrying on their
conflict
The switchmen locally are as en-
thusiastic as the day they were called
out. They have not lost man and
are determined to remain out until or
dcred back by their head officials They
have adopted the slogan, This fight
must be Won"
One thing is certain: if the switch
men cannot win this strike, then no
other single railroad organization can
win one

CHARLES R. CASE MAY
RUN FOR CONGRESS.

Charles r. Case. the worthy president
of the Washington State Federation of
Labor, is being urged by friends to be
come candidate for congress at the
polls next November.
Mr.. Case is republican and every
one who knows him speaks in the high
est terms of him. He has "made good
as president of the great state fedora
ton and if he should run he undoubted-
ly would have the united support of all
labor men throughout the whole state,
and the labor press as well.
He said one day last week that many
members of various unions had urged
him to announce his candidacy but he
would not be able to make a stand for
some time.
If organized labor should exert them
selves, Charley" would win in a walk.

liver a brief series of lectures at this univer-

not many years after, he became head of the

that he had again come closer to me because
Columbia was my Alma Mater, and on my
periodical visits to the metropolis it was al

with practical suggestions dedicated to The

nearly 200 pages in his innate modesty the
closest he comes to a personal narrative is
this:

had marked all the past) to feel that one
simply must decide, must do something, and
still not o Nknow what; all this, and more
than need be written here, made life a bur

fresh in memory by living it all over again,
year after veal, with seniors who have come

them light; not infrequently even seeking to
