Il REPORTS FAVORABLE
CRISIS BELIEVED TO BE PAST

Archie Roosevelt Is on the road to re-
covery. So said Surgeon General Rixey at
noon today, and his statement is understood
to be the view of other physicians in at
tendance. Although in the treacherous dis
ease diphtheria the danger Of a relapse
is ever present, necessitating the greatest
care and watchfulness on the part of physi-
clans and nurses, it is believed that the boy
has passed the crisis of the disease and
barring untoward happenings, will proceed
toward convalescence. President Roose-
welt was at his Office at the usual hour this
morning. He appeared cheerful and bright
and well pleased at the progress his son is
making.
The attending physicians issued the fol-
lowing bulletin at a quarter of o'clock
this morning:
Archie Roosevelt had good night. No
unfavorable symptoms and a general i'm
provement since last report" =
DR.. Alexander Lambert of New York the
Roosevelt family physician, and Surgeon
General Rixey remained at the White House
after issuing the bulletin until about half
past 10 O'Clock, when both left for time.
The reports from the sick room at that
time were favorable.
At / o'clock the reports of the patient s
condition continued favorable and it was in
Dictated that unless the attending physicians
changed their minds another bulletin would
not be issued until this evening.
Consultation Last Night.
A consultation was held at the White
House last night, attended by Dr. Lam
bert of New York, Surgeon General Rixey
and Assistant Surgeons R. NJ. Kennedy, w.
c. BREASTED and J. c. Pryor of the navy,
and at 10 80 o'clock DIR. Lambert issued the
following bulletin:
1.-The patient is resting comfortably. No
complication has developed since yesterday
(Thursday), and his condition is as good as
could be expected at this stage of the dis
ease"
An earlier bulletin issued by Secretary
Loeb also was of a reassuring nature.
There was some talk OF DIR. Lambert re-
turning to New York last night, but at
late hour it was announced that he would
not leave Washington until he was salts
fed that Archie was wholly out of danger.
Parents Take Rest.
Although the President was awake the
greater part of Thursday night he looked
none the worse for 1t yesterday, and last
night he expressed a willingness to remain
with Dr. Kennedy, who spent the night at
! Arches bedside. Drs. Rixey and Lambert,
| however, urged the President to retire at
his usual hour. Mrs. Roosevelt, Who has
remained almost constantly at her sons
bedside since the first day of his Illness
also retired at an early hour after being as
sured by DIR. Lambert that he did not APP
prehend another change for the worse.
At o'clock this morning the lights were
burning brightly in Arches room. An o.
fetal report from the sick room indicated
that the patient was not resting as easy as
in the early part of the night. s;Drs. Lam
bert and Kennedy were both at the boys
bedside at that hour.
