the Committees Schedule.

Kansas City, Sept. 1.-Speaking to
an audience composed chiefly of work
ing men in this city, Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt today heartily endorsed the
passage of a federal working mans
compensation act. This is one of the
chief planks of the Kansas state plat.
form recently adopted.
Kansas City, Sept. /. - Colonel
Roosevelt ended his Kansas invasion
with an address in Kansas City, Kan,
shortly after II o'clock this morning
and then crossed the Kaw river to
plunge into an active day on the Mis-
souri, side.
The ex-presidents train arrived in
Argentine, Kan. from Lawrence at
1890 o'clock. The colonel was taken
by motor to the place where he spoke
and after a short address was rushed
back to his train and brought to the
union depot here.
AS the only point at which his train
stops in Missouri on his present trip
thousands of people from all parts Of
Missouri and the southwest have jour
neyed here to greet him. Every hotel
was damned with visitors last night
and this morning hours before his spe-
cial train was due to arrive, the sta
ton and the streets along which the
parade passed, were lined.
Just what the colonel will do this
afternoon is difficult to determine.
~, to. 10 IA hot 1 o.
and 10 p. III. The reception committee
had planned a complete program
whereby, if everything went off per
schedule, the ex-president would have
one hour, between $50 and $50
o'clock, to himself. Every other min
ute was taken up with speeches. re-
ceptions and motor rides. One of the
chief events on the program was to
be a ride of twenty-six miles by motor
over the citys boulevard system.
T. r. Changes Their Plans.

mercial club here asking the members
to arrange for the eX-president to
visit the county fair at independence,
Mo-. twelve miles east of here and
also to grant him as much time to
rest as possible. Futile efforts were
made by commercial club members to
get into communication with the ex-
president and then it was decided to
leave the matter to Roosevelt upon
his arrival today, changing the pro-
gram to suit his wishes.
Whatever happens, however, it is
known the following will take place.
The colonel will be given a lunch
con at the Baltimore hotel at o'clock
and he will make an informal talk
there.
At $3.50 o'clock he will address 900
pupils at the West port high school.
Officers of the commercial club will
tender a dinner to the colonel at 6
o'clock
At o'clock he will speak in con-
vention hall.
From Kansas City Roosevelt will go
via the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy railroad to Omaha.
