 TORT WAYNE, Ind, June 1.-After strenuous six hours in Lansing, Mich, during which he made three addresses and held a reception at the capitol, President Roosevelt left for this city on the Lake Shore road. He made brief addresses from the plat form of his car at several places in southern Michigan en route to Fort Wayne.
 The president was met on arrival here by the mayor and many officials and given hearty welcome to Fort Wayne.
 President Benjamin Ide Wheeler of the University of California joined the presidential party at Lansing and will continue to Pittsburg. The president has thoroughly enjoyed his ride through the west. The train was run slowly, and stops were made at many towns, which kept the president constantly re- appearing on the platform.
 The best crops the people raised in the state, the president said at one of his stops, were the men and women, and he expressed especial admiration at the care which had been devised in the training of the children.
 At the Agricultural college at Lan- sing President Roosevelt spoke to about 2o.000 people from stand erect ed on a little knoll at the head of the campus. The college green was the mecca toward which practically all the thousands of visitors Journeyed.
 A distinguished company of public men and educators was seated on the platform with the president They included United States Senators J. O.. Bnrrows and William Alden Smith, Secretary of Agriculture James Will son, President J. B. Angell of the Uni versity of Michigan, Secretary Loeb, Congressman Loud, Sam Smith, Wash ington Gardner. G. J. Diekma, Charles A. Townsend and Clifford Pinchot of the United States forestry department. The graduating class of the college jumped to their feet as the president entered the stand and gave three rous- ing ''rahs," to which the president re- sponded with low and laughing shout of ''touchdownp' which brought more applause from the student body.
 The great assemblage rose and sang "America," after which President J. l.. Snyder of the college introduced the chief executive with merely the words, "Ladies and gentlemen, the president of the United States"
 A tremendous outburst of applause followed.
 In his remarks at the Agricultural college President Roosevelt said in part:
 "The nation Is to be congratulated on the fact that the congress at Washing ton has repeatedly enacted laws de- signed to aid the several states in es- tabllshing and maintaining agricultural and mechanical colleges. I greet all such colleges through their representa- tives who have gathered here today and bid them Godspeed in their work. I no less heartily invoke success for the mechanical and agricultural schools, and wish to say that I have heard particularly good reports of the Mime sota Agricultural High school for the way In which 1t sends It's graduates back to the farms to work as practical farmers"
 The president was given the closest attention. He interjected informal re- marks and advice at several places, bringing a great round of laughing cheers when he turned toward dozen young women in the graduating class and said, q believe that you young ladies will make first class farmers wives. and I heartily congratulate the farmers of the future on the unex- ampled prospects before them"
 
 The president also interjected a plea for the paying of proper respect for manual labor. T shall be nightly disappointed in you boys here," he said to the graduating class. If you can't work with your hands and are afraid to have your working clothes look as though you do work"
