Roosevelt Guarded
New York, Sept. 9.—A special to the
World from Buffalo says: “Although Vice President Roosevelt does
not know it, the government has made more adequate provision for
his protection than it did for that of President McKinley. Whenever
the vice president leaves the residence of Lawyer Wilcox, where
he is staying, there are two or three secret service men at hand
to ward off any attempt that might be made on his life. The orders
for the protection of the vice president come from some source that
is not disclosed.”
“During the attendance at service
in the First Presbyterian church six secret service men occupied
seats within a short distance of him. One of them took a seat on
the box of his carriage when he drove away, and the others followed
in another carriage.
“When he alighted at the Buffalo club
during the afternoon, the detectives were close at hand, and when
he called at Milburn’s house to inquire after the president’s condition,
they were within a few feet of him.”
