Pittsburg. Pa.-Although ex-Presi-
dent Roosevelt was weary from his
ali-day ride from Chicago to Pitts
burg he showed no other i'll effects
on his arrival here and the physi-
clans who are accompanying him
were confident that he would reach
Oyster Bay in almost as good condi-
tion as when he left Mercy Hospital.
MRS. Roosevelt and the physicians
while believing that the Colonel had
sufficient strength for the trip, were
concerned as to the outcome when
the time came for his departure, and
drtng the first few hours 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 bed In his state
room the tension was relaxed and
everyone on the Colonel's car
breathed easily.
Colonel Roosevelt spent the day in
reading magazines, talking and sleep
ing AS soon as he was brought to
his car In Chicago he went to bed.
and remained there throughout the
day.
The progress OF the Roosevelt train
was watched by silent crowds. At
many Of the stations people were out
to sec the train pass through. They
brought flowers and fruits to the
wounded man. and sent him messages
of greeting. There was no cheering,
and the people talked in subdued
toHes.
DR.. Alexander Lambert of New
York. who. with DIR. Scurry l. Terrell
Of Dallas. Texas. Is caring for Colonel
Roosevelt. said the wound had bled
some during the day. but that the
bleeding was merely the result OF the
Training of the wound and was an in
dicatfon Of the healing process.
Bulletins were issued by the physi-
clans during the day, but they merely
reported that the colonel was resting
easy and that his condition was un-
changed. Aided by the x-ray. exam
inatton. DR.. Lambert was able to de-
termine the position of the bullet by
an external examination. He placed
finger on the precise spot.
The bullet is embedded in the
major pectorai muscle said DR.. Lam
bert. "and as the x-ray photograph
rhowed. Is close to the fourth rib on
the right side. 1t will be simple mat
ter to remove the bullet later should
Colonel Roosevelt wish it."
