PRESIDENT MAKES A CALL
Was the First Since the Operation on
His Leo at Indianapolis.


Washington, Oct 16. - President
Roosevelt went out socially last night
for the first time since the operation
was performed on his leg at Indianap-
oils. II also was the first time he had
walked in public. His leg apparently
has recovered a large measure OF its
strength. and he no longer has to use
a crutch No limp is observable. The
president after his conference with
President Mitchell. of the Mine Work
ers' Union. went out for a drive
through the suburbs On his return
he donned his dress suit and left the
temporary White House on Jackson
Place and walked over to Secretary
Hays. where he had accepted an invi.
tation TO dine informally with a few
friends. The president remained at
the secretary's until nearly 10 o'clock
returning afoot- Apparently there was
no difficulty in his movements, al
though his pace was not rapid, as is
customary with him. On reaching his
temporary home he went upstoirs and
at once plunged into tho strike prob
lem that at present is absorbing al
most all his time and energy.

Jury CENSURES
TROLLEY GREW
Finding of the Inquest in the
Accident in Which Presi-
dent Was Injured
KELLY AND MADDEN UNDER BAIL

Pittsheld, Mass, Oct 16.-Special
Justice Hibbard filed yesterday his
report on the inquest of the death of
William Craig, the secret service op-
orator who was killed in this city Sep
tember 3. while acting as personal
bodyguard for President Roosevelt,
by a trolley car which crashed into
the presidents carriage.
Justice Hibbard says: Il find that
the car was allowed to attain a dan
gerous and unlawful speed and that
it was allowed to maintain that speed
up to point where it was impossible
to avoid a collision. In view OF the
facts, l am Obliged to find that the
unlawful act of James T. Kelly con-
ductor, and Il. Madden. motorman on
said car, contributed to the death of
William Craig"
Justice Hibbard also finds that the
horses attached to the presidents
carriage were going at the rate of
six miles an hour and the car at the
rate of fifteen to twenty-five miles an
hour He also finds that there was
a misunderstanding on the part of
the street car companies Of the city
as to what thOroughfares were to be
closed to traffic during the presidents
visit. No evidence, the report says,
was found to show that the car was
not running on regular schedule or
that the officials of the road had given
any orders for it to be run otherwise
than under normal conditions.
The report says: CAS- neither the
conductor nor the motorman testified
at the inquest. the special justice
was unable to find what, if any, in
fiuence the wishes of the passengers
that the car be run faster than it or
dinarily did. had upon their conduct
In conclusion the special justice
finds that the car was allowed to at
tain a dangerous speed, the fender
was not properly locked in position
but that if it had been, it would MOI
in all probability have prevented the
death of Craig, and that the unlawful
act of Motorman Madden and Conduc
tor Kelly contributed to the death O
Craig.
Kelly and Madden were arrested
on the day of the accident on th'
charge of manslaughter, and they arr
now under bail for trial November 1.

Born With | Two B0Z-ClQD Feet.
Mr.. II. }. Hamann, Stenographer and Bookkeepel
for Northwest Paper Co.. Cloquet, MIMI,
Endorses the Bone-Setter, of West
Superior, Wis.,, and His
Wonderful Work.


1t was always thought until recently,
that person born with club or box
club foot or feet, had to go so through
natures unaccountable wrong. Indeed
from high surgical standpoint, even,
such a thing was considered an utter i'm
possibility. At no other period in the
worlds history, except this, has the task
of completely and perfectly righting
club foot been undertaken; and, no other
surgeon, except the Bone Setter, of West
Superior, Wis. has ever succeeded in ac-
complishing the task. The ancients,
with all of their blending of learning and
art, rising to the highest point in the en-
lightment OF the world, never thought Of
such a thing. for biography records many
of the most noted and distinguished men
of those times lived and died with club
feet. King Solomon, who said that
'there was nothing new under the sun, =
never heard of this wrong being righted.
All through the Bible club or ''cloven"
feet are spoken Of. Yet this Bone Setter,
with his bare hands, SO places the ir-
regular bones as to make comely foot,
completely and perfectly righting the
wrong. While righting the wrong with a
club foot Is only one piece Of the Bone
Settlers work, 1T is one that merits and
receives universal admiration and rises
above public criticism Without knife or
pain, this work is done to the wonder and
establishment of all. In justice to the
reading public, 1t should be stated that
Mr.. Hamann, who makes the following
statement, Is not yet through treatment:
