Notable Absence of Cranks.
RICHMOND Ind, November 2S-After
a sojourn of two days in st. Louis, which
proved an experience thoroughly delightful
and almost unique, President Roosevelt is
now speeding toward Washington, where
his special train is scheduled to arrive at
o'clock am. tomorrow. The President,
Mrs. Roosevelt and all the members of the
party are congratulating themselves upon
the success of the trip, which was regarded
by many with serious apprehension.
President Roosevelt has expressed his
perfect satisfaction with the arrangements
made for his safety, comfort and convent
ence, and just before his train pulled out of
the exposition grounds last night he con-
graduated and thanked President Francis
and other exposition officials and the Of
ficers who were his personal attendants for
the admirable work they had accomplished.
Secretary Loeb, upon whom fell the great
task Of perfecting the arrangements for
the trip and for the safety of the Presi-
dent, now that the strain of responsibility,
so far as the visit to the fair is concerned,
has been removed, is feeling thoroughly
satisfied. Throughout the experience in
st. Louis there was a notable absence OF
cranks who desired for various reasons to
see the ProSlQ6nl. OHe WOlIleh was SdhCiA
in charge by the secret service men at the
Thompson residence last evening, but she
made trouble. Just before the train
pulled out of the exposition grounds last
night woman leading a Texas steer
wearing pair of horns with spread OF
nearly four feet, approached the car. She
was stopped.
Proved to Be Magnetic Woman.
''Try to lift me-" she suggested to the
officers. She was not crazy, but proved to
be the magnetic woman" who possesses
the peculiar power of preventing anybody,
however strong from raising her from the
ground when she so wills It, She had found
the steer at one of the shows on the
grounds and had brought it along to show
the President At the suggestion of the
officers she led her curious pet away.
The trip thus far has been without Incl,
dent of particular note. The PRESIDENT ana
his party breakfasted about O'Clock: the
President is passing the time in reading or
in chatting with his friends. At Indianapo-
lis where the first stop was made after
daylight today only small crowd had
gathered on the station platform. The Pres
ident had not arisen, and the people, al
though disappointed at not seeing hlm mace
no noisy demonstration. Few stops VIII
now be made en- route to Washington, and
1t is likely that the President Will make no
extended remarks at any OF them.
Insisted Upon Seeing the President.
ST. LOUIS, No. November 2S-After try
ing to force her way into the residence OF
William H. Thompson for the expressed pur-
pose of painting the picture OF president

and the woman was finally placed under ar
rest.
