HPW TRIPS ABANDONED BY ROOSEVELT Colonel Declares He’s Feeling ‘•Bully,” But Will Return Home to Rest. Conti.'ued From Page One. i r . IKCi few persons realized that It car ■ ie,: he former president. Some of the inen stood with uncovered heads as the colonel passed. In Much Pain On Way to Chicago. The colonel rested easily after the train reached Chicago and his car was brought to a final standstill. He was uneasy during the trip and seemed to feel c onsiderable pain. The physicians in charge decided not to disturb him after his arrival in Chicago until day light. He was roused by Dr. Murphy half an hour before the start for the hos pital. A superficial examination of ttie wound was made. Then Dr. Murphy advised that Roosevelt be removed at onee and the other physicians con curred. The colonel himself acquiesced read jiy» Hi smiled as the preparations for the trip were made. When all was ready he stepped from the eat. waiving aside the physicians and attendants who would have helped him. Shot again." he remarked, as news pap photographers fired a volley of flashlights at him. He smiled as the pictures were made. At the hospital his whole appearance res changed. Sags Down Weak On Reaching Hospital. The Rough Rider sagged down be tween the two men who assisted him. and they practically supported his weight as he took the few steps into th" hospital. The smile had left his fa. ■ It was seamed and drawn with pain, and the fight he had made to hide tie real suffering was disclosed in deep lines that marked his forehead and the corners of his mouth. Tho change was startling to his physic ians. There was a hurried con- ■ saltation, the physicians being unde- I elded whether the operation that had j been partly agreed on should be at tempted while he was in such a weak ened condition. •lust inside the hospital door the colonel sank into a wheeled ehair. A few. moments later he was wheeled away to a private room. The ambulance was brought as near as possible to the private car May flower. and stood in Orleans street. Dr. R. G. Sales, one of the Milwaukee sur geons who attended him, opened the door of the car. Colonel Roosevelt stepped down. He was followed by Dr. ■I. B. Murphy. The colonel stopped when he saw the saitine newspaper men with their cam eras. Stretd.c'i Himself On Ambulance Cot. lien he walked on to the ambulance, mbed in himself and lay on a cot in side. e start was made at 6:15 o'clock.

Bullet Located in Fleshy Part of Breast. The X-ray examination lasted for seV’eral minutes. After it was conclud ed, the surgeons issued no statement, and the first word from the room of the former president was brought by a nurse who had been present when the examination was made. The nurse said tfiat the bullet had been located in the fleshy part of the right breast, and was about an inch and a half below the right nipple. The nurse said the bullet had not penetrated the walls of the chest, but was lodged in the mus cular tissue. She further stated that the surgeons had decided to perform an operation at once. The result of the examination as re ported by the nurse corresponds with that made by Dr. Joseph Bloodgood, of Johns Hopkins university, who was one of the surgeons called in attendance while the colonel was still in Milwau kee. Dr. Bloodgood asserted the bullet was resting between the ninth and tenth ribs and lay just below the right nip ple. After the examination the following telegram was sent to Mrs. Roosevelt in New York by Elbert Martin, private stenographer to the colonel. Assuring Message Sent to Mrs. Roosevetl. "The present examination supports the prior examination made by the phy sicians in Milwaukee. The respiratory movement on the right side, in which the bullet is situated, is perfectly free and easy and sounds normal. His pulse is normal and there is little difficulty in talking. He lias expectorated no blood. The present descriptions given by the X-ray show the bullet to be sit uated in a safe place. Additional X rays are being made now. and will be completed within an hour. After the photographs had been made the colonel called for a book. He said he wanted something light and divert ing. and a book was brought to him. He laughed with the doctors when it was discovered that in the hurry of leaving the special train physicians and attendants had neglected to bring his pajamas. Tlie formal statement of the physi cians as to the location of the bullet was not expected to be made until after th< photographs of the'exa minty lon had been completed. The physicians, how - ever, appeared more cheerful after the examination had been made, and it was believed the location indicated by the nurse would prove to be the correct one. No prepai iitlotis for an operation were begun. It was evident that the physicians had decided to wall until the final result of their examination was definitely known before they attempt-d to remove the bullet Physicians Marvel At His Stoicism This tact yvtts-considered encouraging In the colonel's flleml .

Dr. Terrell and the other physicians who accompanied Roosevelt to the au ditorium in Milwaukee after he was shot last night, heard him speak, and made the trip with him from Milwaukee to Chicago, are marveling today at the stoicism of the man. The colonel shaved himself after he had boarded his special car in Mil waukee. His hand was steady and he displayed no nervousness. The colonel was certain when the train left Milwaukee that he would be able to go to Indianapolis, where he was scheduled to speak tonight. He disliked to give tip the idea today. Long before the colonel's train had reached Chicago fifty specially picked policemen, detailed by Assistant Chief Schuettler, were at the old Wells Street station waiting for his arrival. Every effort was made to guard the colonel and keep away the curious crowd that might gather. The railroad also did wh'at it could to provide quiet for the colonel when his car was in the railway yard. Calls For Minister, His Long-Time Friend. One of the first requests the colonel made at Mercy hospital was that his old friend and companion in arms. Very Rev. Edward J. Vattman. of Wilmette, a Chicago suburb, be summoned. "I’m not much alarmed about my spiritual condition." said the colonel with a laugh, “but I would like to see Vattman and talk to him. I’ve known him for a long time. We were in the army together." Father Vattman arrived at the hos pital fluting' the morning and was at once shown into the colonel's room. He and the colonel had a long talk. When he came out Father Vattman was very cheerful. "Colonel Roosevelt is all right,” he said. "He will live. He is in no dan ger." Governor Johnson Much Excited CLEVELAND, OHIO. Oct. 15.—Gov ernor Hiram Johnson, candidate for vice president on the Progressive ticket, was greatly excited today when he learned here of the attempted assassi nation of <'olonel Roosevelt. He de manded that all the papers be given him, and tend them carefully He said he was greatly concerned, and Inquired for late partitulars He refused it make a statement.

WOODWARD ODDS FALL AT START Mayoralty Contest Gets Hot as Climax Comes at Polls Throughout City. Continued From Page One. 504; Brown, 147, and Johnston, 149. Chambers got good majorities in the Seventh, Tighth and Ninth wards, the vote being; Seventh —Woodward, 282; Chambers, 443; Brown. 61. and Johnston. 58. Eigth—Woodward, 248: Chambers, 451 ; Brown, SO, and Johnston, 147. Ninth—Woodward. 275; Chambers. 381; Brown, 29, and Johnston. 51. The contest is one of deep human in terest and has been entered into with all the force of both contestants. Woodward Long Has Sought Place. The one consuming ambition of James G. Woodward for the past six years, since lie vacated the mayor’s chair, lias been to be mayor of Atlanta again. Two years after he retired from 'the highest office in the city, he was nominated for re-election at the Demo cratic primary. His sensational defeat in the fall of 191)8 by an independent candidate is familiar history to all Atlantans. But he came out of that campaign still fighting, and he has been lighting up to this good hour, declaring that he wants a "chance to redeem himself." Chambers Is Extremely Confident. While Woodward has been laughing and joking about the big majority he would pile up, Chambers has been ret icent. as he closely studied the situa tion. At his final rally at the Orpheum the it'g-r last night he delivered his delib erate conclusion to the audience of sev eral hundred people, and it spoke sin cerity. ' I have won this race," he declared. "You fellows who came here with the intention of breaking up this meeting are bluffing, like your betters ate bluff ing on the streets witli their bets, You’re defeated and you know it” The polls opened at 7 a. m. and will dose at 7 p m. 1 —»■ I»» —■ I I - w 11l Wl ■■III W— TEACHERS HOLD INSTITUTE. < > ILI’M Bl’S, GA. oct 15 —The .\oi-cogci County Teach-t In titut fo! white t-.iehets began today with Stat.- School Sup-'t visor I-' E I.ami, of Daws-.n condu-t ng th- Instltuti TRIO ON A DARING VOYAGE IN TWENTY-FIVE-FOOTBOAT LONDON.
