<DIV align=left> Princeton, W. Va., April 6 (Special)--H. H.
Rogers and party reached Princeton this afternoon on a special train, being
accorded the biggest welcome the builder of the road has received anywhere along
the line. Fully 2,000 enthusiastic persons and a brass band met the train
and hailed Mr. Rogers as the greatest man the country ever produced. The
special train stayed at Princeton tonight and will go tomorow to Deepwater, the
western terminus of the road. Mr. Rogers will return to New York via
Charleston.</DIV>
