| to meet her and conversed with her
| for some time.
When the train bearing the presf-
dent rolled into the station there was
a large crowd awaiting it's arrival hut
a special'detail of police and detectives
Kept them In the rear so that few were
able to see him.
The Presidents Wife.
Mrs. Roosevelt, who had reached thu
city during the day from Oyster Rav.
had been one of the earliest arrivals
at the station. She was ACCOMPANIED
by Rear. Admiral P. NJ. Rixey, former
Dental household
Secretaries Moody and Hitchcock
and John F. Uric joined them before
the trains arrival. AS soon as the
train came to a stop Mrs. Roosevelt
boarded 1t, followed by the cabinet
officers and the others who had come
to welcome the president home They
remained aboard fifteen minutes chat
ting with the president before he was
removed from the car. An invalid
wheel chair was backed up against
the platform and into this the presi-
dent, borne In the arms of Drs. Lung.
Richardson and RiXey and another
gentleman, was lifted and wheeled
across the narrow platform, out
through the baggage room onto the
| pavement, next to which the White
house carriage was standing.
The president extended a happy
greeting to several persons whom he
recognized as he was being wheeled
to the carriage. He was attired as
usual, except that the shoe on the left
foot was off, He remarked to a crowd
of officials and trainmen that he felt
better than he looked. He apparently
suffered no pain from the wound in
his leg. AS he was lifted into the car
riage he was given several hearty
rounds of applause by the bystanders.
Mrs. Roosevelt already had taken her
place in the vehicle and they were
driven home. Here the president was
| assisted by the attendants to an or
binary cane seat chair placed on the
pavement. Then a half dozen ushers
and policemen carried him to his room
on the second floor Of his temporary
home.
His Temporary Lodgings.
This floor contains three large
rooms and a hall room, with a bath
at the extreme rear. The room 'front.'
ing on Lafayette square had been
made into sitting room and the 9TH
er two bedrooms. The president was
taken into the second room from the
front and made comfortable.
Arrangements were made at once
for dressing the presidents wound,
| and for other attention after his jour-
| ney. Drs. Lung, Rixey and Uric re-
manned with him some time after he
was taken to his room and gave their
personal attention to every detail. Dr.
Lung, the regular White house physi-
clan, will have immediate charge Of
| the presidents case, and should it be
| deemed necessary will consult Drs
Rixey and Uric in the further treat
| ment of the wound.
There is an accumulation of business
demanding the presidents attention,
and he will be able to dispose of much
of it without serious personal incon-
venience.
According to present plans, during
his period of recovery the president
White house. Secretary Cortelyou
said tonight that no other arrange
mentS had been made for him.
President Roosevelt intends to view
the Grand Army parade two weeks
hence, but it is not yet known wheth-
er he will remain here during the en-
tire interval between now and then.
Secretary 1Cortelyou, at $3.50 o'clock,
made the following statement concern
ing President Roosevelt's condition:
"The presidents physicians report
that he stood the trip home very we'll,
and 1t Is believed that the local in
fiammatory symptoms will subside in
a week or ten days if the leg is kept
absolutely at rest"
So satisfactory Is the presidents
condition that it is not deemed neces-
sary to have the services of even a
trained nurse during the night.
Attorney General Knox called during
the evening and remained for some
time. When he came down stairs he
reported that when the president was
not chatting with Mrs. Roosevelt he
was reading a book.
He's the most cheerful invalid I
ever saw" said the attorney general.
