Washington, Sept. 23.---President
Roosevelt's first Sunday in Washing
ton as chief executive was compare
lively uneventful. He went out twice
during the day, in the morning at
tending religious service with his
brother-in-law, Mr.. Douglas Robinson
of New York, and in the afternoon
taking long stroll through Rock
Creek park with Gen. Leonard Wood
military governor of Cuba. In the
evening he dined with his family al
the residence of Capt. Cowles, of the
navy, at whose residence he is stay
ing preparatory to moving into the
white house. This Mr.. Roosevelt will
probably do on Tuesday, his family
Joining him there day or two later.
The president did not visit the white
house during the day.
BOY Rebuked.
| A rather unexpected incident oc-
Cured just as Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr..
Robinson left the church. 15-year-
/ old boy, anxious to obtain a photo
graph Of the chief executive, had sta
| toned himself on the sidewalk about
60 feet from the entrance to the
church. AS soon as Mr.. Roosevelt
| reached the sidewalk he saw the boy
with his big box Immediately, and,
raising his hand in signal to bicycle
policeman standing near, said: stop
that! Stop that!" The officer jumped
in front of the camera and the presi-
| dent strobe forward almost on run.
| Coming up to the boy, he shook his
finger menacingly at him and declared:
"This is Gods day. You are defiling
it and disgracing yourself and your
profession. If you have not respect
for the day and are obliged to work,
then at least you must respect Gods
house. You shall not take pictures on
the steps of church if can help it."
Then the president lowered his voice
and gave the abashed photographer a
few words of kindly advice, and the in
cident was at an end.
With Mr.. Robinson, the president
then started across Fifteenth street
with head erect and shoulders back. A
bicycle officer, under instructions pre-
viously given, started to follow, but
Mr.. Roosevelt turned and, with an i'm
patient wave of the hand, said: 81
don't need YOU" The officer thereup-
on turned back, and the president and
Mr.. Robinson continued their walk,
going in roundabout way to Capt.
Cowles' house. Many persons passed
and recognized the president, the lat
ter pleasantly responding to their
salutations. Two bicycle policemen,
who kept at a respectful distance in
the rear, had followed the president
when he went to church.
Many Visitors.

ton accorded them. Senator's Elkins
and Scott congratulated the presi-
dent upon the declaration he had made
when he took the oath of office. "That
simple declaration" said Senator

dence in the business world" To the
Minnesota representatives the presi-
dent recalled the fact that it was in
their state that he had made his last
public utterance as vice president and
that in that confession of faith" as

self to the policy of Mckinley, to which
he pledged his adherence upon assum-
ing the responsibilities of his Office at
Buffalo.

gia, was especially pleased with his
reception. The Georgia representa-
tive had congratulated the president,
had expressed the hope that his adj
ministration would be success and
had informed him that as southern
man and Georgian he would contrib
ute everything in his power to that
end. The president replied that it
would be his aim to be the president
of the whole people without regard to
geographical lines or class distinc-
lions, that it was the welfare of all
which he should seek to promote.
