for Apprehension.

Indianapolis, Ind, September 23.-Dr.

night about the operation. but made the
following statement during the evening;
THE operation was performed success
fully but it really was not a serious one.
The fear was that If the serum had been
allowed to remain blood poisoning might
set In, but l believe there is no further
cause for apprehension. The swelling
In the Presidents leg was about as big
as the open hand laid on the leg. The
operation only took a SHORT time and In
no way affected the physical condition
of the President. He is just the same
today as any other well man, outside of
the sore place on his leg
Senator Beveridge ives seen shortly af-
ter the operation. He was In good hui
NOR and said that everything was all
right
"A man like the President is not east
ly invalided,' said 4.e. But he was
forced into this. It would not do to
take any chances. Mr.. Roosevelt is to-
day rugged. hearty man with a sore
leg-thats all there is to it,

the club facing the monument, where he
made a short speech In good clear voice
and seemed to be the last person In the
world who would be supposed to be sufs
fering from any physical ailment. lie
then retired within one of the rooms of
the club and the active part of carrying
out the change in the programme was
begun.
Secretary Cortelyou called Colonel Har-
rison and requested him to notify the
members OF the reception committee in
the dining ROOM and the club that The
President would not be escorted to the de-
pot. The colonel carried out the reqest,
replying to questions that the President
was resting or that 1t had been decided to
take him away from the carriage without
a formal escort. The orders were given to
the captains of the militia and the heads
OF the police and at 3.15, everything being
In readiness, the dash to the hospital was
made.
Immediately preceding the start to the
hospital the newspaper correspondent
that accompanied the President on his
special were seen to make a hasty de-
parture from the club and to run around
the circle toward washington street.
Colonel Wilson, the private secretary of
Governor Durbin, who occupied the
Presidents carriage before the President
came out, was asked what was the mat
ter:
Colonel Wilson Explains.
1.-The President is to be taken to the
hospital to be operated on and the west
ern trip is abandoned" he replied, but
do not bulletin 1t yet" This was the
first intelligence to the local newspaper
men waiting on the outside of the club.
On the arrival of the party at the st.
Vincent's hospital the sentinels that were
promptly posted at all the entrances of
the building prevented the gathering of
any information of what was transporting
within and 1t was only by dint of ques-
tioning Colonel Harrison or others who
from time to time came out on the steps
of the hospital that any knowledge could
be CLEANED Of what was happening. AS
soon as the party entered the building
they were taken into one of the reception
rooms near the entrance. Here the Presi-
dent sat down for a little time while
Drs Oliver and Cook were completing
their preparations In the operating room
on the next floor. The President chatted
cheerily and laughed at the serious coun-
tenances around him.
In a short time the doctors came for
him and he was taken up in the elevator
and made to recline on the operating
table.
The only ones outside of the doctors
who were present at the operation were
Secretary Root and Private Secretaries
Cortelyou and Loeb.
The operation was simple and was
skillfully performed in few minutes

TO FIGHT TO A FINISH
National to Aid Western League
Sexton Returns From
New York.

The National Association of Pro-
fessional Baseball leagues has Coop
Grated with the Western league in the
war it is forced to make against
Thomas j. Hickey and his new Amer
lean association. which is seeking TO
invade the territory of the Western
league and Western association, both
of which are members of the Nation
al. Hickey's organization has declar-
ed it will go it alone, having openly
defied the National.
The board of arbitration of the
National, of which NJ. II. Sexton,
president of the Three-I league, is
member, meets tomorrow at Kansas
City with the directors of the West
ern league, and plans will be laid for
giving the Hickey association the
quick finish, if possible. Mr. Sexton
returned this morning from New
York. where he attended a meeting
of the National board of arbitration
held chiefly for the purpose of decid-
ing the part the body is to take in
the fight between the Western and
American. One of the acts of the
board was to remove the salary limit
of class A, thus enabling the West
ern league to place as high priced
teams in the field as it is able finan-
cially. Mr.. Sexton leaves tonight for
Kansas City, and will be joined here
by p. t. Powers, president, and j. H..
Farrell. secretary of the National.
Others expected at the meeting
are W. II. Lucas, president of the Pa
cific Northwest league; j. b. Nicllin.
