ON BOARD PRESIDEN INITIAL
TRAIN. BILLINGS, Mont, August
22.-President Coolidge appeared today
to be completely recovered from the
attack of indigestion from which he
suffered the greater part Of yesterday.
He did not arise, however. as early
as is his custom, but when he present
ed himself on the observation platform
of the special train for a few moments
of fresh air before going to breakfast
he said he felt like himself again.
Except for a slight paleness and a
trace Of WEAKNESS. Mr.. Coolidge looked
none the worse for his brief indispo.
sition. Maj. James +. Coupal, his
physician, said the Presidents attack
yesterday was not serious and was not
OF nature to cause alarm. He pro-
nounced him today as being very fit
Judging from the hearty meal the
President ate after boarding his train
last night and his breakfast this
morning, there should be no question
about his fitness. His meal last night
consisted of a large steak, potatoes,
preserves, a salad. hot rolls and des-
sert. This morning he had orange
juice, cereal, preserves. hot cakes
and eggs and coffee.
Physician Not Alarmed.
The President arose this morning
at 7:15, and. as is his daily custom,
shaved himself with his old shioned
razor and then hurriedly dressed to
join Mrs. Collidge and their son, John,
who already were up and out in the
drawing room Of the car waiting. for
his arrival
Maj. Coupal was not at all worried
over the Presidents indisposition
yesterday. He said his trouble may
have been caused by something he
ate. He thought also that the Presi.
dents being out in the broiling sun
for two hours Saturday afternoon,
while fishing, may have contributed to
his ailment.
Dark clouds and a steady rain
greeted the President when he went
to the rear platform to take i'm the
early morning scenery The train had
just passed through what is known as
the Crow Indian country, and the
landscape that met his eye was not
unlike that in the part of South
Dakota in which he has been living,
except for the prominence Of sage
brush.
Governor to Pay Respects.
The presidential party left Custer
aboard a Burlington train at s
o'clock last night, and will arrive at
Gardiner, the gateway to the Yellow
stone National Park, this afternoon.
Representative Scott Leavitt Of Mon
tana is to board the presidential train
at Billings. At Livingston, Mont,
Gov. Ericsson and small party will
come aboard the train to pay their re-
spects to the President.
Extra precautions for the Presi-
dents safety have been taken in view
the Sacco-Vanzetti execution in Mas
sachusetts. Virtually every mile of
the railroad has been under guard.
The usual prohibition of other train
movements, on tracks adjacent to that
Of the presidential train was enforced
and dozen railroad officials and rail-
road detectives went along in addition
to the secret service guard.
Safety in Park Assured.
Those responsible for the Presidents
safety have been assured by Yellow
stone Park authorities that it will be
than at place like Custer State Park,
where the Summer White House is
located. Cavalry guards remained on
duty in augmented squads about the
game lodge as il the President were
not absent. Unless Mr. Coolidge
| should yield to ambitious plans made
by Yellowstone Park officials, he will
not follow the regular tourist routes
| through the park, but will be content
| to see few of the outstanding fea-
lures such as "Old Faithful" and then
seek a quiet. attractive spot for fish
| ing and other recreation.
No set schedule has been arranged.
but tentative plans are for the Presi-
dent to return via Cody, Wyo., leav.
ing the park by one of the east
gateways. which would eliminate the
chance of stopover at Denver. Two
railroads will share the responsibility
Of carrying the President to the park.
Including the mileage in the park,
covered in automobiles and on horse.
back, the entire trip will amount to
at least ], 500 miles.
Montana will be the third State to
be visited by Mr.. Coolidge since he
established Summer quarters in South
Dakota.
