Shakes Hands With All.

On his return to the steamer after his
experience on the pier Mr.. Roosevelt
found hundreds of friends wishing to bid
him godspeed. A line was formed lead
ing TO the outer door of his suite and the
eX-President stood there and shook the
hands of the multitude that passed,
among them being not few women.
To all he expressed his thanks Every
where he moved outside his apartments
he could not escape the leave-takers.
More than once he was nearly hustled
off his feet, and on one occasion was
saved by policeman from a fall at the
edge of short flight of steps
Through it all he was the soul of
cordially and cheerfulness. His broad
smile never left him, testifying unmis-
takably to his pleasure at the manner of
his leave-taking and anticipation of the
stirring trip ahead of him.
Mr.. Roosevelt was met on his arrival
here from Oyster Bay by Douglas Robin
son. his brother-n-law, and Lawrence
Abbott. The party proceeded TO the Hud-
son tunnel in an automobile.
| On the trip from Oyster Bay dozens OF
men and women stopped and shook Mr.
Roosevelts hand, wishing him farewell

whistle of the Hampstead screeched out
the marine salute of three long blasts.
The eX-President's trip under the river
was a source of unmistakable pleasure
to him. 1t his first trip by the
minute of the journey.
On the arrival of the train at the
Hoboken terminal the party went inn
mediately to the street, the appearance
of the eX-President at the head of the
stairway being the signal for a tremen
dous cheer from a crowd of about 1900
persons on the adjacent thoroughfares.
Theodore Roosevelt today begins the
most interesting journey ever under
taken by an ex-President of the United
States. Gen. Grants trip circled the
globe. but 1t was for the most part in
the beaten path of travel. Mr.. Roosevelt
is going into a wild and UNEMPLOYED
country.

Tablet Presented to Him.
Shortly before the steamer sailed Mr..
Roosevelt escorted by a detachment Of
local police. appeared at the after gang
way which led TO the pier The police
had cleared open space across the
pier to the point where Italian-Amercan
organizations had the bronze tablet in
readiness to present him.
The appearance of Mr.. Roosevelt was
the signal for tremendous cheering by
the crowds on the pier and on the steam
er's deck. AS he came down the gang
plank the cheering continued. and a party
of college boys from Stevens Institute in
Hoboken let loose their college yell.
On the way across the pier the lines of
police escorting Mr.. Roosevelt were
broken, through the pressure of the
eager crowd The ex-Presdent was swept
toward the tablet by the rush.
The crowd closed in solidiy behind him.
While the police were endeavoring to
| fight off the onrush Mr.. Roosevelt asked
the speakers to make the presentation
ceremony brief.
| The italian orator cut short his lengthy
! address, briefly stating that the tablet
was presented by the Italians in appre-
citation of what Mr.. Roosevelt had caused
to be done for the suffering people of
| southern Italy and Calabria. Mr.. Roose-
Welt in reply said:
Il appreciate this very much: | want to
| thank you all. / cannot tell you how
deeply touched l am.

rections that the tablet be sent to Mrs.
Roosevelt and turned back toward the
forward gangplank of the steamer. The
police did their best to clear a way for
| him, but the crowd became demonstra-
ex-PresidGnt's hand.
The police took firm grip on the sit
uation pushed back the crowd and
rushed Mr.. Roosevelt toward the steamer.
In the process two of the policemen were
knocked off their feet, but were not IN
jured.
AS he neared the gangplank Mr. Roose-
velt's hat few off. A vacuum bottle
which had been presented to him by a
party of Pittsburg friends at the pier
was knocked from his hand.
Mr.. Roosevelt kept right on and
| reached the gangplank in safety. The
crowd yelled and cheered and amid the
hubbub his lost articles were passed to
him. He bowed his thanks and smilingly
called:
Il am all right
The crowd becoming quiet, Mr. Roose-
welt said:
Il want to thank the representatives
from Pittsburg who have come all this
distance to see me off. | am indeed
grateful and am touched by their
thoughtfulness and their kindness in COM
ing such a long way. j want to thank
also my fellow citizens who came to see
me off. God bless you air.
Mr.. Roosevelt then retired to the steam
