ROOSEVELT RETURNS AND IS GIVEN AN OVATION SELDOM EQUALED

The Mighty Traveler Goes Buoyantly Through 9 Long and Trying Reception-Parade, Showing Lively Interest in Everything American The White Company Receives Unique Compliment for the Sturdy Reliability of Its Steam Car From Mr. Roosevelt and Family

After fifteen months’ absence, exactly as scheduled, Colonel Theodore Roosevelt disembarked from the Kaiserin Auguste Victoria, Saturday morning, June 18, at 11 a. m. To the keen disappointment of a large group of newspaper correspondents, Mr. Roosevelt absolutely refused, as heretofore, to be interviewed or to talk on political subjects, but his rapid fire of questions showed the same virile Interest in public affairs as before. If the welcome tendered by the vast throng may be considered a criterion upon which to base a “return from Elba,” surely there was no discordant note in the immense recep-tion-parade, nor in the wildly clamorous crowd which cheered at every glimpse and hung on his very. word. The incidents of the day in New York were many, but perhaps none better illustrated the nervous energy and vitality of the man, the near-mania to be up-and-doing, which he has brought back to us, than the discarding of horses and carriages for the swifter and more reliable automobiles. The moment the Roosevelt family and

Immediate party landed, they wer» whisked away th White Steamers tothe home of Mrs. Douglas Robinson at. 433 Fifth avenue.
