The President was again impatient
yesterday over his confinement as a

unwise for him thus possibly to
ieopsrdtze his health.

marked to D.. Grayson once during

Il am not a business man." replied
Or. Grayson. but a doctor"
What is feared more than anything
else now is that mental strain or
undue exercise might result in serious
consequences for the President For
this reason the orders OF the doc
tors are very positive for comple.a
rest. and these orders are being
strictly carried out despite recurrent
periods OF restlessness on the part Of
the Chief Executive Another day
consequently passed without the
President attending to any business

The doctors are ultra-conservative In

present danger. A local specialist in

progress to the adventure OF a man
waking across Niagara on a tight
