President Is Calm

No medicine. except dlgitalis, has
been given, and that was administer

piratiOn and temperature, although
they varied considerably during the
day were considered satisfactory.
| Bulletins Not Unravorabie.
The doctors issued five bulletins be-

$3.50 o'clock this, evening, and because
they showed an absence of unfavOra-
BILE conditions they We're generally re-
garded us very hopeful. The record
of pulse showed n wide variation
during the day. but any alarm occa-
stoned on that score was mlnimized
by n statement from DR.. RiXey. the
Presidents physician. that Mr.. Me
Elnlpy, under normal conditions. was
inclined to be erratic. and that he was
not unfayorably impressed 10y the cir
cumstances.
The physicians were not concerned
as to the patients temperature. Dur

later II had risen to 1929, but even
at the latter point II was not viewed
with concern. The respiration of the
wounded President was looked upon
as being quite satisfactory.
Roosevelt Arrives
Vice President Roosevelt reached
the Milburn residence shortly after II
o'clock to-day after travelling contln-
uously since o'clock last night. when
he left Burlington. VI. lie was es
corted from the station rs far as the

lice and the remainder of the way by
Il squad of bicycle police. He eX-
pressed his deep distress at the trag-
edy. but beyond that declined TO make
