The fast New York Central train on
which the commission rode was in

city members of the commission have
received threatening letters from per-
sons hostile to the loan, and the police
guard them from harm
UNUSUAL PRECAUTIONS
EXTENDED TO DEPARTURE
These precautions were extended to-
day to their departure for Chicago
Twenty detectives and plain -clothe es
men were scattered through the lobbics
OF the hotel where the commission has
been staying as the time for their de-
p2rture approached. Another squad, in
which there was number of railroad
detectives. awaited the commissioners
in the Grand Central Station, and still
other detectives were stationed at IN
tervals along the short route which
the commissioners took from the hotel
TO the station.
The train itself was under surveil-
lance from the moment it was made
up. One car was set aside for the use
OF the commission, and this coach was
scrutini1ed moro closely perhaps than
any other. Every article Of furniture
in this car was closely examined by
railroad detectives before it was thrown
open THO contents of I'll other coaches
also were inspected.
All passengers boarding the train
passed detectives, who scrutinized them
and their baggage closely. When the
train departed railroad detectives were
said TO be aboard. Some OF Lord Read
lngs friends had urged him to permit
at least two detectives to reserve ac-
commodations in the car set aside for
the commission, but 1t is understood ho
vetoed this suggestion.
