PRESIDENTS TRAIN
PASSES THROUGH
Special Arrives At Early Morn
ing Hour and People Did
Not Gather
Road Officials, Railroad Police and
Secret Service

Although it was known last Friday
that special train bearing President
Calvin Coolidge, Mrs. Coolidge,
and the Presidential party on their
way from Washington to Andover,
Mass, where President Coolidge de-
livered an address at the 150th ami
versary Of Philips Academy, was TO
pass through Putnam between five and
six o'clock Saturday morning, no citi-
zens of this city, except in the line
Of duty, appeared at the railroad sta
ton.
The train arrived at approximately
six o'clock. AT this hour it is hard for
one to get thrill from seeing train
of cars, even known to have the Chief
Executive and First Lady Of the land
on board. Had the President of the
United States been scheduled to make
his appearance the situation would
have been different and there would
have been hundreds, instead Of a
quartette, Of early morning risefs.
The train came up from New Lon
don, the white flags on the locomotive
denotine its special importance. On
the powerful locomotive was engineer
Harry L. Grant. Riding the engine
was Andrew p. Donovan, road fore
man of engines, Superintendent Rob
ert NJ. Smith and assistant superin-
tendent William Smith were aboard
the train, which was in charge of Con-
ductor T. X. Sears.
Change Crews
The train rolled along to Worcester
where is was safely delivered by the
New Haven road to the Boston &
Maine. At Worcester there appeared
more life on board, although none
of the presidential party was glimpsed.
Uniformed members of the railroad
police appeared at the doors Of the
four coaches and secret service men
walked out onto the platform of the
last car the Patrick Henry in which
the President still slumbered. The
train left Worcester at 100.
Secret service men reported that
the Presidential party consisted OF
