ering from the effects of a dose of car
bolic acid, which she drank with soda
water.

at his wife’s bedside, and she says that
now she is glad she did not-die.
ROOS EVE LT’S OWN
ACTIONS BLAMED
BY DEBS FOR DEED
Eugene V. Debs, Socialist candidate
for president, today blamed Theodore
Roosevelt’s own radical actions and
speeches as the cause of Schrank's at
tack last night.
"We forget al! parties and dissen
sions of the campaign in mourning
over the attack made upon Mr. Roose
velt.” said Mr. Debs, who arrived In
Atlanta this morning to speak at the
Auditorium tonight.
"It is he, however, who should be
blamed for the attack. His violent at
tacks upon many persons have brought
thousands to hate him and regard him
as an unsafe person. Schrank was one
of these, and through constant brood
ing Sghrank became imbued with the
idea that it Was his hpwrffWt mis
sion to make an end of the bitter per
sonalities Inducted into the campaign
by Mr. Roosevelt.
"None regrets more than I the
wounding of Mr, Roosevelt and none
hopes to see his early recovery so
much. But I think it will be a lesson
> to the leader of the Third party and
that he will profit from It.”

HEAVY VOTE IN EXCITING
FIGHT FOR MAYORALTY
An unexpectedly heavy vote in the
mayoralty primary today forced the
betting from odds on Woodward to
even money. The men who are view
ing the contest from a purely commer
cial viewpoint estimated that there
would be a light vote and based their
bets on such a vote.
When the vote exceeded 6,000 by 2:30
o’clock, almost a record for Atlanta,
the bettors.decla:ed that there were no
odds on James G. Woodward or Aldine
Chambers.
The extensive campaign of newspa
per advertising has brought out a vote
surprising to the campaigners them
selves. If the same ratio of increase
over the vote of the first primaly is
continued until the polls close at 7
o'clock the Total vote will reach 11,000.
The registration is practically 14,000.
The vote in the last primary was 9,500.
Both Sides Claim
To See Advantage.
Both sides claim an advantage. The
Chambers men asserted that their call
for an early vote had been met with a
ready response and that they had won
the election at noon.
The Woodward men claimed tha*
they would pile up a big majority by
the late vote, and that the heavy vote
is merely an indication of widespread
public Interest.
As a matter of fact, the increased
vote Is evident In both Chambers and
Wood w ard w aids.
Woodward in
Clash With Mason.
More woikiis are around the polls
than are usually seen, and there was
much excited interest James G.
Woodward and Carlos H Mason, chair
man of the police board and a Cham
bers aupporter, had a clash of words
at the Third ward voting place early
today. The partisans of both sldea
lined up behind their chiefs, but It
amounted to nothing more than words.
W A Wrn<>y, police commissioner
from the Third ward and a chambers
worki-i wax enthusliiKtlially urging
votes for Uiiatubera In front ut the.
voting place at 5 Fraser street. He
was pushed back by a number of
Woodward supporters and told by a
policeman to stand aside. Chairman
Mason camo up and told him to take
his place again. Woodward came upon
the scene at that moment and protest
ed that Chairman Mason had nothing
to do with the conduct of the election.
A few more words passed and then
the two men separated.
How Vote Compares
With First Primary.
Early this afternoon the vote by
wards compared as follows with the
vote of the first primary:
First Second
Primary. Primary.
First 208 282
Second 500 847
Third 625 851
Fourth 358 al 8
Fifth 242 337
Sixth 54 7 796
Seventh 337 4,56
Eighth 370 495
Ninth 394 412
Tenth 163 263
All agreed today, as great numbers
of workers for both factions gathered
around the polls, that the winner
would not have a wide margin. The
Woodward supporters base their most
optimistic claims on the 599 plurality
obtained by Woodward in the first pri
mary. They declare Woodward will
lose none of the support he got on the
first ballot. Woodward declared the
issue was constant, the Chambers ring.
On the other hand, the Chambers fac
tion declared today that the moral Issue
injected into the campaign by the Men
and Religion Forward Movement and
the churches would bring out most of
the 4JIOO voters that stayed away from
the polls on the first fiallot. On this
vote Chambers based confident hope of
being nominated.

Physicians Say Wound Is Serious, But
Not Alarming—l’m Feeling “Bully,”
Says He, Eating Hearty Breakfast.
Family Rushes to His Bedside.
At 2 p. m. the physicians attending Colonel Roosevelt in Chicago
issued a statement that the colonel’s condition, while serious, showed
no alarming symptoms.
Mrs. Roosevelt, who at first stated that she would not come to
Chicago unless her husband’s condition became worse, arranged to
start from New York this afternoon, accompanied by Theodore Roose
velt, Jr.
Mrs. Alice Roosevelt Longworth left Cincinnati for Chicago thia
morning.
Colonel Roosevelt’s speaking trips fqr the remainder of the cam
paign have been canceled.
President ’’’aft and Woodrow Wilson sent personal messages of
sympathy to Colonel Roosevelt today.
Dr. Janes, of Milwaukee, who took X-ray photos of the colonel
last night, was hastily summoned to Chicago, giving rise to appre
hensions.
John Schrank, who shot Roosevelt, pleaded guilty to the charge of
assault with intent to kill in Milwaukee. He is expected to be sen
tenced to fifteen years in the penitentiary today.
Physicians Make Statement
CHICAGO, Oct. 15.—Physicians who examined Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt, victim of the bullet of John Schrank, would-be assassin, to
day, after a careful examination, stated that the colonel will live. The
announcement came late after a consultation over the various phases
of the examination into the former president’s condition. It has not
yet been decided when an attempt will be made to remove the bullet.
It was stated positively, however, that only a local anaesthetic will he
necessary and that the colonel will not he given a general anaesthetic.
Dr. .1. B. Murphy, one of the attending physicians, said this
morning:
“Colonel Roosevelt’s wound is more serious than we at first
thought. He should be in a hospital bed, not in a railway coach. We
will make an X-ray examination at once. lam not, of course, prepared
to say now just how serious his injury is.”
As soon as Colonel Roosevelt is sufficiently recovered he will go
to his home in Oyster Bay. He will not continue his campaign trips,
according to Dr. Terrell, the colonel’s private physician.
X-Ray Pictures Made
“Colonel Roosevelt has just come from the operating room where
another set of X-ray plates were made,” said Dr. Terrell, in a
formal statement. “These plates are now being developed. Drs. Ter
rell. Murphy and Sayle were present when the plates were made. Dr.
Arthur Dean Bevan is expected at the hospital later.
“So far as we know now the later X-ray developed nothing new
with reference to Colonel Roosevelt’s condition. His condition is nor
mal. He feels fine. There will be no serious consequences.
“As soon as Colonel Roosevelt recovers sufficiently he will he
taken to his home in Oyster Bay. He will not go on the road again.”
Dr. Sayle supplemented the
statement, saying:
“If the doctors decide that it is
necessary to probe for the bullet in
Colonel Roosevelt’s body, it looks
now as if nothing more than a lo
cal anaesthesia will be necessary.”
Wound Important,
Says Bulletin.
Eater an official bulletin was Issued
as follows:
“Deep bullet wound In chest wall,
without striking any vital organ in
transit. The wound has not been
probed.
"Point of entrance, one inch to right
and one inch below level of right nip

so important as to demand absolute
rest for a number of days.

again “for the present.”
In spite of the fact that he allowed
his reservation of his private car to be
canceled, Roosevelt objected strenu
ously to, the demands of the doctors
that his campaign utterances be cut
short.
“I must go on with my work,” he
said, even after he had consented to
return to Oyster Bay. "I'll be in Mad
ison Square Garden for the speech set
for October 26. That is to be the big
gest speech of the campaign, and I can
not disappoint my friends.”
The doctors waived the point, saying
the matter could be determined later.

Eats Hearty Breakfast,
Colonel Roosevelt ate a hearty break
fast of bacon, eggs and tea and toast.
He used his famous expression, “Bully,”
when asked how he felt this morning.
“You’re a mighty lucky man. colonel,”
said Dr. John F. Golden, one of the at
tending physicians. "Your lucky star
was at work last night, all right.”
The colonel smiled. He refused to
take hfs injury seriously.
"It might have been worse, a great
deal worse," he said. “1 guess I owe
my life to the prompt action of my
friends. 1 feel bully now."
Fifty police and detectives are guard
