lieve there is no further cause for ap-
prehension. The swelling in the Pres
ident's leg was about as big as the open

not in any way serious and that there
IS no danger whatever. This state
ment is made 80 that no false rumors
may disturb the people and that they
may be authoritatively advised OF the
exact nature of the case"
At the oneration Secretary Corteyou
issued this announcement:
"At BIS D. m. the President went
from the Columbia Club to St. Vincent's
Hospital in his own carriage. Shortly
after he was in the hospital the opera
ton required was performed by DR., Geo.
n. Oliver, OF Indianapolis, in consulta-
ton with the Presidents physician, DR..
George A. Lung, and Dr. George J.
Cook, DR.. Henry Jameson and DR.. ].
J. Richardson. At the conclusion OF
the operation the physicians authorized
the following statement:
"'As a result OF the traumalsm
(bruise) received in the trolley acci-
dent at Pittsfeld, Mass, there was
found to be a circumscribed collec-
tion OF perfectly pure serum in the
middle third OF the left anterior tibial
region, the sac containing about two
ounces, which was removed The in
dications are that the President should
make speedy recovery. 1t is also i'm
perative, however, that he should re-
main quiet and refrain from using the
leg. The trouble is not serious, but
temporarily disabling"
The first intimation that anything
was wrong came in the form of rumors
to a great crowd which was patiently
waiting near the Columbia Club and
the soldiers and sailors monument for
the President to appear. 1t was about
2.3o o'clock, half an hour after the time
set for the President to leave the city
when a few OF the favored ones in the
crowd received intimation that he was
sick and that the rest of the trip would
probably be abandoned These state.

as they gained currency. but soon the
rumors began to take on a more seri-

The operation was begun without de-
lay The pain caused .he President TO
mutter several times in a low voice,
but he said nothing that was distinct,
except to ask for a glass of water be-
fore the needle had been removed. He
was not given ether.
After the operation was over he
made several laughing remarks and
asked il he would be allowed to use the
leg long enough to walk upstairs.
You will be hauled upstairs in a
wheeled ambulance" said a surgeon.

Roosevelt'S Western tour, which had at
tracted such widespread attention, came
to a sudden and unexpected end Tues
day.
The. cancellation of all kis engage
ments for the next two weeks was due
to the development of an abscess, the
result OF the Pittsheld accident. This
abscess is on the left leg between the
ankle and knee, and it developed so rap
idly that the physicians in attendance on
the President declared that the injury
would not heal until an operation had
been performed and he had undergone
complete rest
In consequence, soon after a speech at
the Columbia Club here, the President
was taken to st. Vincent's Hospital
where the abscess was removed. At 7.45
p. m. he was carried on a stretcher to
train and in a few minutes was on his
way to Washington.
The determination of the President to
abandon his trip was arrived at only
after careful consider ton He was re-
luctant to disappoint the people of the
West, who had made elaborate prepara-
tions to entertain him. The leg began
to trouble him several days ago. 1t was
noticed at both Cincinnati and Detroit

significance was attached to this at the
time, but as a matter Of TACT the Presi-
dent was resting his injured limb

ously on his feet FIVE hours. This made
the wound so much worse that when

here before he submitted to surgery.
Several official statements in refer
cnce to the operation were made by
Secretary Cortelyou. The first OF
these, at 8 p. m was as follows:
"As a result OF the trolley accident
at Pittsfield, Mass, the President re-
ceived several serious bruises. One of
these, on the left leg between the knee
and the ankle, has developed into a
small abscess. The President is en-
tirely we'll otherwise and has continued
to meet the engagements OF his itin-
erary, but in view of the continuance

the troops in these districts, rioting and
general lawlessness continue in the en-
tire hard coal territory from Forest

to Williamstown, Dauphin county, or
the south, a distance OF more than Ioc
miles. The section of the strike region
in the vicinity of Forest City, which has
been comparatively quiet ever since the
strike began, was greatly wrought up BY
crowds of strikers interfering with and
beating men who had returned to work
and. as a result, Sheriff Maxey of Sus

for troops to assist him and other civi
authorities to preserve the peace.

NATIONAL CAPITAL AFFAIRS.
Crop Estimates Vary.

The Bureau OF Statistics of the Depart
ment OF Agriculture, disturbed by com
plants OF discrepancies between the de-
partment's crop reports and various com
mercial estimates has determined tc
make an investigation with the view ol
insuring absolute accuracy in future re-
ports,
The subject has been thoroughly con-
sidered in the department and Secretary
Wilson has authorized Statistician Johp
Hyde to use every available means to
ascertain wherein the differences lie. II
has been determined to send at once into
the cotton belt 10 experts, who will visit
every cotton shipping point and make
the closest possible investigation, taking
into account every pound Of cotton and
its origin, whether OF this year 5 crop or
OF that of another season.
Mr.. Hyde has been impressed with
the idea that much cotton OF the COM
mercial estimates is wrongly placed to the
credit OF crops to which it does not be-
long. Frequently crops of past season
still on hand are included in the amount
OF cotton set down as of this years crop.
This will be one Of the main features OF
the investigation. A considerable lot OF
cotton is said to be included in the esti-
mates from commercial sources which
belongs to what is called the "city crop,
which consists OF cotton that, in market
sampling from season to season in many
OF the large towns, accumulates in con-
siderable quantities.
The effort OF the department will be
directed to insure the greatest possible
accuracy in estimates as to cotton on
hand, as we'll as to cleaning information
which will tend to absolute reliability in
the departments estimates OF crops.
The early maturing OF cottonthis season,
much OF it getting to market during July
and August and taking with it cotton OF
last season, will be treated in the data to
be gathered by the experts assigned to
make the investigation.
