Oscar S. Straus heard Theodore Roosevelt’s tour was successful. The letter inviting him to accompany Roosevelt arrived too late, and seeing that he could not offer any help, he decided to continue his trip with his wife, Sarah L. Straus. While in the West Indies, they visited the Panama Canal, which is progressing nicely. Straus will call on Roosevelt at his office sometime.
