Train Conductor Says Mr. Roosevelt Was Gay as a Lark
Vice President, Attended Only by a Colored Man, Went as Far
as Albany on Pan-American Express.
When the third section of the Pan-American
express arrived at the Grand Central station, at ten minutes after ten o’clock
this morning, R. N. Cross, the conductor, said that he had taken Vice President
Roosevelt as far as Albany. He did not know the Vice President’s destination.
Mr. Roosevelt was attended only by a colored man, who looked after his luggage.
There were no detectives or guards in sight.
“I tell you,” said Cross, “the Vice President
looked a different man than when he went to Buffalo. I never saw a man so marked
by care and anxiety as he was when he hurried to the President’s bedside, but
when he got on the train at Buffalo he was as gay as a lark. He told us that
the President was getting on finely, and he seemed as happy over it as a boy
with a new toy.”
