Sagamore Hill. ~ Y.-snugly
tucked away betwcen thc heets OF
his W bed, WITH tins pillows care
fully smoothed and settled by the
owing hands of his wife who had
rushed to him on learning of his in
jury, Colonel Roosevelt was resting
his afternoon, carefully guarded
from all intrusion.
The gates leading into the estate
are closed and bolted. George
Roosevelt later came out and made
the following announcement to wait
ing newspaper men:
Col. Roosevelt must have one
week of absolute rest. With that
week in which to r|ecuperate he may
be able to make the Madison Square
Garden speech scheduled for Octo-
Der 80. But rest is absolutely i'm
perative."
Oyster Bay, N. Y.--CoI. Roosevelt
arrived at his home at Sycamore Hill
AT 10 O'Clock this morning. In order
20 avoid a crowd of his fellow towns
men gathered at Oyster Bay station
20 welcome Col. Roosevelt, the spec
jal train was stopped at Syossett,
where the big Roosevelt Limousine
was IN waiting. The colonel walked
70 the car. After he was comfort
abiy placed within, Mrs. Roosevelt,
their daughter Ethel and George
ROOSEVELT entered and the party was
buried over q smooth road to the
Roosevelt home.
The crowd at Oyster Bay station
was greatly disappointed over the
failure of the party to come into the
town, as the neighbors had planned
to show the wounded man how much
they thought of him.
To allay their disappointment the
following bulletin was issued:
Roosevelt stood the trip we'll but
we believe him in no condition to re
ceive his friends at Oyster Bay. He
deeply appreciates their interest in
his welfare. We regret the necessity
of avoiding a landing at Oyster Bay.
nut deem it better for him to go
direct to Sycamore hill from Syossett
without coming here.

Wearied by Ride.
Pittsburgh, Pa.-Although EXPIRE
sident Roosevelt al weary from his
all day ride from Chicago to Pitts
burgh he showed no other i'll effects
upon his arrival here last night and
officials who accompanied him were
confident hat he would reach Oyster
Bay in almost IS good a condition
as when he left Mercy hospital.
Mrs. Roosevelt and the physicians.
while believing that the colonel had
sufficient strength for the trip, were
nevertheless concerned as to the out
come when the time came for his de-
parture and they watched the patient
closely for any signs of a setback. AS
the day wore on and it became plain
that he was resting comfortably on
the big brass bed in his stateroom, at
tention was relaxed and last night ev-
eryone on the %colonel's car was
breathing comfortably.
Colonel Sleeps En- Route.
Colonel Roosevelt spent the day in
reading magazines, talking and sleep
ing. AS soon as he was brought to
his a in Chicago he went to bed and
remained there throughout the day.
He said in the morning that he did
not feel like sleeping but the swaying
of the car tired him and he slept for
several hours. The hardships of the
journey were increased by several
jolts caused by the imperfect action
of a brake on the colonel's car and
once or twice the train came to such
an abrupt halt that the colonel was
tossed about in his bed. The colonel
was suffering from nervous eXhaus-
ton when he left Chicago and he
found the motion of the train so tire
some that he was able to sleep occas-
ionally.
The progress of the Roosevelt train
was watched by silent crowds. At
MANY of the stations people were out
10 see the train pass through. They
brought flowers and fruit to the
man and brought him mes
sages of greeting. There was no
cheering and the people talked in
subdued tones hat there might be no
possibility of disturbing the colonel. ,
1t all formed a contrast to every 9TH
err trip that Colonel Roosevelt has
made during the campaign, with the {
cheering, handspring and blaring of
brass bands. 4
DIR. Alexander Lambers of New {
York, who with DR.. Surry Terrell of
Dallas, Tex, are caring for Colonel .
Roosevelt, said the wound had bled
during the day but the bleeding was !
Tue to the result of the draining of 3
he wound and was an incident to the {
lealing process. :
