Trip Was Successful.
The President, Mrs. Roosevelt and all
the members of the party are congratulate
ing themselves upon the success of the
trip which was regarded by many with
serious apprehension. President ROose-
welt has expressed his perfect satiSfa elton
with the arrangements made for his re-
ceptl0n, comfort and convenience and
just before his train pulled out of the
exposition grounds last night he cOngratu-
lated and thanked President Francis and
other exposition officials and the officers
who were his personal attendants for the
admirable work they had accomplished
Secretary Loeb, on 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 con
c2rned has been removed is feeling thor
oughly satisfied.
Absence of Cranks.
Throughout the experience in ST Louis
there was q notable absence of cranks
who desired for various reasons to see the
President. One woman was taken in
charge by the secret service men at the
Thompson residence last evening but she
made no trouble. Just before the train
pulled out of the exposition grounds last
night woman leading a Texas steec
wearing a pair Of horns with spread of
nearly four feet, approached the Presi-
DENTS car. She was stopped TRY to
life me-, she suggested to the officers,
but she was not crazy. She 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 ground and had brought it along
to show it TO the President At the sug-
gestion of the officers she led her curious
pet away.
No Accident Yet.
The trip thus far has been without Incl
dent of particular note. President Roose-
welt and his party breakfasted about 9
o'clock. The President is passing the
time reading and chatting with his
friends.
At Indianapolis, where the first stop
small crowd had gathered on the station
and the people, although disappointed at
not seeing him, made no noisy demonstra-
ton. Few stops will now be made en-
route TO Washington and it is likely the
President will make no extended remarks
at any Of them.
The Presidents train is preceded by
