 Agents charged with guarding the president left nothing undone, to insure against it's sinister use.
 A patrol of railroad employees and Jaw officers traversed the entire length of track over which the presidential special train was routed between St Paul and Ro- chester.
 Secret service agants said this was routine procedure. They re- fused to theorize Cn the dynamite theft except to say that the pos- sibility it was a mere coincidence with the presidents arrival had not been overlooked.
 It was obvious, however, that every law enforcement of the vie cinity had been thrown into Q search for the missing explosive.
 Part of Trip Cancelled
 MT Roosevelt's plan for yacht trip down the Mississippi river to view projects in the governments 0-foot channel program were cancelled last night by his secret service agents.

 Instead, the president will mo- tor this afternoon from Rochester to Winona, Minn, stopping at Lake City to dedicate a $45,00O municipal dock. At Minneiska he will review the fleet of yachts he was to have accompanied. In Vii mona will reboard his train for Green Bay, Wis.
