ROOSEVELT FOR BOSTON
Would Add Nothing to Letter Given
Out at New York

Boston, Feb. 25.-'I think have
made my position clear. have no
plans beyond this night For tomor-
row and afterwards, no one knows
what is in store"
This was Colonel Roosevelt's res
ponse to the appeals made to him to
night for some word in regard to his
statement. AS he spoke he smiled
expansively. Then he added with a
chuckle: I'm having quiet literary
evening. l haven't talked politics
with any one"
Colonel Roosevelt was at the home
of Judge Robert Grant, Harvard
classmate, with whom he spent the
night. News of his decision spread
through the city like wildfre tonight
and created great excitement. Judge
Grants home was besieged by a
crowd of persons anxious to see the
colonel, who was discussing literature
within. When at last he appeared at
the doorway, he beamed upon his in
reviewers as though something had
made him more than usually happy.
A dozen questions were fired at the
colonel as soon as he appeared. He
cut them off with a laugh, saying:
"Quiet day. am spending a very
quiet day. In regard to politics,
have seen no human being"
But, Colonel" said an insistent
questioner, will you not explain what
you think should be done in regard tc
direct primaries for the choice Of
presidential nominees?" Everybody
knows my position on direct primar

BENNINGTON, VT, FEB. q. 1912

"The superintendent OF the Long
Island railroad has issued an order
requiring conductors, trainmen, and
station agents to make every effort
to ascertain the cause of any sudden
interruption Of train service and an
swer freely and eourteously all ques-

as to causes and probable duration of
delays. Arrangements have been
made to have the dispatcher's office
in Long Island City send out such in
formation to train men and station
agents as early as possible. New

Sometime in the ages to come it is
possible that railroad companies and
other public service corporations
may learn that they are most hated
because OF their discourteous treat
ment of the public. Railroads are the
worst offenders and they are reaping
their just reward. Anybody beats q
railroad without the slightest com
junction, and in case of controversy
everybody is against the railroad
chiefly because of the petty and I'M
necessary insults and discomforts in
ficted on the travelling public. Only
the other day the morning train north
was disabled at Sunderland The
train from the north due at Benning

about II o'clock and was held there
for an hour. There Is a restaurant
in the station at Manchester, but the
passengers did not dare leave the
train to get anything to eat as 1t was
impossible to learn from any of the
railroad men whether time to get {
lunch was available Such treatment
of the public was unnecessary ant
foolish and made criticism that nigh

The advent OF the past few days
was the organization OF the Wheeling
Sheet Tin Plate Company with
$4,000 in stock subscribed. and Il is
no secret that there is a big demand
for stock in the company. II would
have been very easy for the promoters
TO have raised a half million dollars
more had they so desired. At present
the privilege OF subscribing for the
stock would be at a premium were
any offered to the public.
One OF the promoters stated TO the
1ntelligencer reporter that in placing
the stock they aimed TO secure aili-
ances that would be valuable to the
new plant. and therefore IN some in
stances the large subscribers volun-
tarily reduced their subscriptions.
While sales were no larger than the
average during the week. evidences
are that all stocks are as strong as
they have been for a long time and
the outlook is optimistic.
