Roberts Receives Warm British Welcome in Fog Shrouded London
Dense fog delayed Lord Roberts reception as crowds filled the streets of London to greet the British commander. Royal attendance greeted him at Paddington and Buckingham Palace with cheers, bands, and a formal address, while authorities prepared barriers to prevent crushes. In other news, Captain Edward Hoppey U.S.A. dies suddenly in Frazer, and Huntington W. Jackson, famed Western lawyer, dies in Newark.
