YOUNG ROOSEVELT SAID TO BE "AS COM
PORTABLE AS COULD BE EXPECTED"
Groton Mass. Feb. THE condition of Theo-
dore Roosevelt, jr.. son of President Roosevelt
and a student at Groton School, who is i'll with
pneumonia, was reported at o'clock tonight
In the words as comfortable as could be ex-
pected" Those who in attendance at the
lads bedside declined to give anything more
definite. 1t was understood at the school. how
ever that the patient showed some improve
ment in the afternoon and early evening
Tomorrow will find the school practically de-
serted. for a majority of the students departed
for their homes in the afternoon. and the rest
will 20 in the morning
On receipt Of word that Mrs Roosevelt would
come to Aver from Boston the first morning

The school is about half mile from the station
FROM sources outside the school it was
learned that the Presidents son caught cold
day or two ago. and the trouble proved stub
born. Last evening the symptoms grew more
serious. and at midnight Dr. W. B. Warren. the
school physician. called Remedies were
prescribed at once and this morning the pa
tient was no worse, and ii was hoped that aid
had been given in time to check the progress
of the disease. This morning President Roose-
welt was Informed of the situation, and il
suggested that the boys mother should come TO
Groton
This afternoon an attempt was made to induce
the Rev. 5. Endicott Peabody, the principal Of
the school. TO talk about the case, but he re-
fused to do He did say. however, that be-
sides abiding by the rules of the school in
fusng 10 give out news he acting in c.
cordance with the expressed wish of President
Roosevelt.
The President" he said, has two reasons for
not wishing to discuss the case First. because
he considers his of no more consequence
than the sons of scores of other families repre-
sented at the school; and, second, because the
reports through intention of those handling
them, might contain disturbing inaccuracies.
The wisdom Of this is shown from the fact that

dying"
Mr.. Peabody closed the interview by saying
that the sick lad was being cared for carefully
his in the dormitory. and that his
mother would reach here tomorrow. IF she
wishes to give out news after she gets here"
he said "she may do So"
There has been a great deal of illness at the
school of late. There several other cases
of pneumonia besides that of young Roose-
welt, and this afternoon the school was closed
for two weeks on account of the prevailing sick
ness. The boys have been in the habit of run
ming about bareheaded all winter. This is
thought to account for some of the serious colds.

PRESIDENTS PLANS CHANGED.

Washington, Feb THE illness of Theodore
Roosevelt. jr., has greatly changed the plans of
the President for his trip to Charleston to visit
the exposition. The trip may have to be aban-
doned altogether but the present purpose is to
make flying visit to the exposition and to re-
turn Immediately after the most important af-
fairs in which is has been arranged that the
Presidential party should take part No women
will accompany the parry, owing to the absence
of Mrs. Roosevelt and the hurried nature of
the modified arrangements. The President, in
stead of starting on Monday night, will not
start until Tuesday morning. He will go direct
to Charleston and will take part in the exercises
of Wednesday and be present at the dinner and
will then return to Washington, reaching here
some time Thursday. The three Cabinet Of
flcers who it was heretofore announced would
accompany the President Secretary Cortelyou
and stenographer. will comprise ne entire
party as arranged.
