associated with the president, has return
ed TO Canton. The five members of the
cabinet still here will remain Il few days
rather as friends who have been init
mately associated with the president for
years than as public officials.
The presidents physicians have been
impressed with his remarkable recupera-
tive powers and the rapidty of his i'm
provement. Ordinarily an incison for
such an operation as was performed upon
the chief executive should heal within
three weeks, but in the presidents case
1t may be strong enough for him to be
moved little sooner. The president will
be taken direct to Washington as soon as
Il Is safe to move him.
Within the sickroom many evidences
of the presidents Improvement are ap-
parent. The president himself begins to
show confidence in his ability to care for
himself, and from time to time he will
carefully turn himself and gain more
restful position. The nurses naturally OBJ
served with care these evidences of grow
ing strength and courage and are ready
to see that there is no undue tax on the
presidents strength or the straining of
the wound. These slight movements from
side to side are all that he has attempted
thus far, and it is too early yet TO think
of his sitting mp in bed or of any other
marked use of his muscles
A most important development is the
private determination reached among
those in charge of the case that food
should be administered to the patient to-
day by the mouth and not by the rectum.
Not since the shooting has n morsel Of
food been given to the president by nat
ural means, but the drain ON his system
has been met by dissolved foods admin
istered by injection.
The importance of this feeding by the
mouth is that il will restore the normal
action of the stomach for the first time
since that organ had both its walls
pierced by bullet The doctors are sat
isfied that the time has come to renew
these normal functions, and the FIVE days
which have elapsed since the wounds in
the stomach were closed give every as
surance that the sutures are sufficiently
healed to allow nature to resume her
sway.
Some uneasiness was caused last night
because of the length of the consultation
of physicians, and this was somewhat
increased when it was learned that DIR.
McBurney, who had intended 10 leave
for Stockbridge, Conn, at 1l:2O, had
missed his train and had decided to re-
main over until tonight but the doctor
himself did all he could to dispel the
idea that the change in his plans por-
tended anything serious. 1t was 1l:2O
when the physicians emerged from the
house They had been in consultation
an hour and fifty minutes and announced
to the waiting newspaper men that the
presidents condition was unchanged in
every important particular.
AS explained in the bulletin which all
the doctors signed, it seems that small
fragment of the presidents coat had
been carried into the body by the bullet,
and although this foreign substance was

Leave For Their Homes Assured
Tint the Wounded Man Is
Steadily Gnining.

BUFFALO, Sept. 1.-THE corps of
eminent surgeons and physicians in at-
tendance upon the wounded president
commit themselves without reservation to
the opinion that their patient is out of
danger and that only the possibility of
complications threaten his life They
do not give assurance of his recovery col
lectively over their signature in an Off
cial bulletin. That is more than can be
asked in reason. Scientific men. no mat
ter how strong their Avictions may be,
cannot he expected TO assume the grave
responsibility of officially proclaiming the
certainty of the recovery of a man lying
on bed of pain with a bullet hole in his
stomach, but they go II long way toward
Il individually and separately each OF
them with the exception of DIR. Rixey,
who has placed himself squarely on rec
ord, not privately to the friends of the
president, but publicly through the
agency OF the press, that the danger point
has passed and that the president will
survive the attempt upon his life.
"Of course we will all feel easier when
a week has passed" said DIR. McBurncy,
the dean of the corps. I'VE would like
to see every door locked and double
locked, but the danger from possible COM
plications is now very remote"
Thousands of I'm are today walking
the earth in perfect health with much
larger chunks of lead in their bodies.
The y ray machine is ready for instant
use, however. and if there is the slightest
inflammation or pain in the vicinity of
the bullet an operation will be per-
formed.

which made necessary the opening of the
wound. The doctors seek to alay all ap.
prehension by the positive statement that
this incident cannot give rise to other
complications, and their Irnnkness in CIV
ing the news to the public leaves no rea.
son to question their entire good faith.
The further fact communicated in the
bulletin that the president was now well
enough to begin taking nourishment in
the mouth In the form of pure beef juice
was of course gratifying, but TO the lay
men the mere mention of n complication,
however slight 1t might be. naturally
created alarm. 1t seemed like little
cloud on the horizon which might grow
and spread. But the most positive assur-
ances were given that the only effect
might be to slightly delay the healing of
the wound. The irritation was not in any
way the result even of suggestion of
blood poisoning, and the physicians de-
clarcd over their own signatures that 1t
could not result in complications. The
opening of the wound was in no sense an
operation. Several o. the stitches were
simply taken out. and after n thorough
antiseptic washing of the inflamcd tissue
the wound was again sewcd up. No an
