VETERANS FOR SPAIN TO SEE KERMIT MARRIED Warmly Cheered by Great Crowd as He Boards Olympic. WITHHOLDS STATEMENT Reserves It for Sunday News- papers Because To-Day Is a Holiday. ‘Theodore Roosevelt sailed to-day on the White Star liner Olympic to attend the wedding of his son, Ker- mit, to Miss Willard, the daughter of the American Ambassador to Spain, which is to be celebrated at Madrid on June 11. The reception and godepeed he received at the pier at the foot of West Seventeenth street must hav stirred even his ac- customed heart, because never was there such a crowd upon the pier. It may not have been due primarily to the presence of the doughty Colonel, because there were fo! hundred Salvation Army soldie: sailing on the ship and they brought | bands and partisans to a great num- | the plier! ber. But everyone on joined in the reception to the Colonel and he had a busy time of it waving his bat and his hand and thrusting the latter out to be shaken by his admirers. MOTORS TO PIER ACCOMPANIED BY MRS. LONGWORTH. The Bull-Colonel of the Bull Moose motored to the pier from Oyster Bay accompanied by his daughter, Alice, Mrs, Nicholas Longworth and his cousin, Philip J. Roosevelt, who is a | newspaper reporter, The Colonel wore @ gray sult, @ rain coat and a Panama hat rolled up in front in the Roosevelt mode. Also he carried a stick. He did not use it for an aid in walking, but employed it merely to add to gesticulation, and he made some mighty flourishes with it. It was plainly to be seen that el Roosevelt has recovered much of his health and a part of his weight i his return two weeks ago from the )wilds of Bresil, His smile was as brilliant as ever, The coat of tan he brought back with him has faded very little. There was @ large crowd at the Chelsea pier when his motor slid up & little before 9 o'clock. In the gath- ering were George W. Perkins, who has given eo much time and money to the Moose cause; Alexander P, Moore, the husband of Lillian Rus- sell, and Medill McCormick, another Moose of prominence, At the foot of the gangway was Capt.

It seemed to be orly a few feet away. “Then came the jolt. It could not ‘be called a crash because it was more of a granding sensation, He- fore I realized what had happened my cabin began to fill with water.
