W B Storey president of the Santa Fe apologizes in a letter to The Globe for not stopping in Atchison when the presidential special passed through on a tour of inspection. He explains a local delegation arrived after the train was visible, and by the time he saw them the train was on a bridge with vehicles on the approach.
