From a deserted railway station Theodore Roosevelt re-entered Chicago today. There was no band and no cheering. A little cavalcade of sober faced police headed the procession. The colonel, with a doctor on either side, lay in an ambulance. Behind half a dozen automobiles followed slowly to Mercy hospital. Suffering from a pistol wound re ceived last night in Milwaukee, Colonel Roosevelt’s condition was serious enough to cause grave concern to the eminent surgeons who had gathered to receive him, the colonel was taken from his car shortly after 6 o’clock. Fif teen minutes later he was lying in the ambulance, the police had moved to the head of the line, and the somber, little procession was under way. The colonel’s special train arrived in Chicago shortly after 3 o’clock this morning. His car was switched to the. deserted passenger station of the Chi cago and Northwestern railroad, at State street, just north of the river. There it remained until the colonel had been removed. Every precaution was taken to avoid a crowd. Few persons knew where the colonel's car stood. Even the hospital to which the colonel was to go was kept a secret until the start was made. It was reported that he would go to th- Physicians hospital. Just before the start. Dr. I. B. Murphy, one of the surgeons called to assist In caring for the former president, announced that i> cod been decided to take him to Mer er c yVal. at Twenty-fifth street and Pm I :e avenue. Colonel Roosevelt, game today as he was last night after tho attempted as e ssmat'.on, walked unassisted from the car to the ambulance. He sank down weak’.'-, once he was inside.

Dr. Murphy wa? the one who expressed it most openly. "Blood poison is th* thing we most fear.' he said. "We will take every possible precaution to prevent that.” In the automobiles that accompanied the former president from the station to the hospital were the surgeons, some 'I 'sr friends of the colonel, summoned when the shooting occurred, and news paper representatives. Along the streets, as the ambulance wheeled slowly across the State street bridge, few persons realized that it car ried the former president. Some of the men 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 Anal standstill. He was uneasv during the trip and seemed to considerable 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 «n hour before the start for the hos- I' tai. A superficial examination of the wound was made. Then Dr. Murphy sed that Roosevelt be removed at once and the other physicians con curred The colonel himself acquiesced read- A.

Just Inside the hospital door the colonel sank into a wheeled chair. 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. J. B. Murphy. The colonel stopped when he saw the waiting newspaper men with their cam. eras. Stretched Himself On Ambulance Cot. Then he walked on to the ambulance, climbed In himself and lay on a cot In side. The start was made at 6:15 o’clock. It was twelve minutes later when he reached the South Side hospital. The ambulance drove east in Ken zie street to State street, then turned south and crossed the Chicago river into the Loop. At Randolph street the ca.valcade turned east again. Then the ambulance, a gasoline driven affair, turned south into Michigan avenue. A doctor inside leaned forward and whis pered to the driver. The speed in creased and soon a wild run down the long avenue was begun. Philip Roosevelt, a cousin of the for mer president, was seated beside the driver of the ambulance. Dr. Murphy and Dr. Sales rode in the vehicle. As the ambulance neared the hospital the physicians again whispered to the driver and the speed was increased. As the car turned into Twenty-fifth street for its final run to the hospital It was going at racing pace. Finally the hospital was reached and the ambulance stopped. There was a alight delay inside while the final prep arations for receiving the colonel were completed. Then he was taken in side. A few minutes later he was taken to suite No. 312-314. This is a third floor special suite in the comer of the building overlooking Prairie avenue and Twenty-fifth street. Absolutely No Danger Says Dr. Terrell. Here the physicians began an X-ray examination. Dr. George Hochrein, an expert with the X-ray apparatus, was the principal operator. Dr. W. B. Mc- Cauley, Dr. Philip Krauscher and Dr. John F. Golden assisted. While the examination was under way Dr. Skurry Terrell, the physician who has accompanied Roosevelt on his trip, issued the following statement: “Colonel Roosevelt's condition is very good. It is almost normal. He is tired and is resting, but there is absolutely 1.0 chance of complications of a serious nature. He is in no danger whatever His quick recovery is anticipated." This statement was based on an ex amination made just after the colonel had arrived at the. hospital. It con trasted strangely with a formal state ment issued by Dr. Murphy at the con clusion of the ride, in which Dr. Mur phy said: “I can not now determine the se- .aI’LANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. Expects T.

He Insisted on reading all his telegrams himself. As he read each message he made some com ment on its contents.” riousness of his condition, but every thing now indicates that the wound is more serious than was at first sup posed.” Dr. Murphy said blood poison was the complication most dreaded and that the physicians were taking every pre caution to guard against it. Bullet Located in Fleshy Part of Breast. The X-ray examination lasted for several 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 that the bullet had been located in the flesh}’ 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 has 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. WOODWARD ODDS fall nmm Continued From Page Ono. the voting places contesting for indi vidual wards. Chambers Claims The Tenth Ward. It is expected that the w’ards will go for the candidates they went for in the first primary, with the possible ex ception of the Tenth. Chambers men insist that they have switched that ward from the Woodward column. Woodward carried that W’ard In the first primary by a plurality of only thirteen votes. His vote was 191; Chambers' vote was 178; the combined vote of his three opponents was 217. But both sides say the number of votes cast in each ward will be materially changed. In the First, Second, Third and Fifth wards Woodward got a good majority over his three opponents in the first primary. The vote was: How Vote Went. At Last Primary. First—Woodward, 291; Chambers. 169; Browm, 45, and Johnston. 13. Second—Woodward, 768; Chambers. 496; Brown, 108, and Johnston, 82. Third —Woodward, 916; Chambers, 486; Brown, 93, and Johnston, 67. Fisth —Woodward, 406; Chambers. 159; Brown, 31, and Johnston, 11. Chambers received a plurality in the Fourth ward, and Woodward a plu rality in the Sixth ward, which they claim will be converted into majorities in this primary. The vote was: Fourth—Woodward, 328; Chambers. 411; Brown. 71, and Johnston. 85. Sixth—Woodward, 568; Chambers, 504; Brown, 147, and Johnston, 149.

Eigth—Woodward, 248; Chambers, 451; Brown, 80. 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 ot James G. Woodward for the past six years, since he vacated the mayor’s chair, has 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 1908 by an independent candidate is familiar history to all Atlantans. But he came out of that campaign still fighting, and he has been fighting up to this good hour, declaring that he wants a "chance to redeem himself.” While Woodward has been laughing Assassin Came Here To Shoot Roosevelt For two days, while Colonel Roose velt was in Atlanta, John Schrank lurked in the city with revolver ready to commftzthe deed he came so near ac complishing in Milwaukee last night. According to the statement of the assassin, the Auditorium-Armory here was the place he had picked as the scene of Colonel Roosevelt’s death. But here his nerve failed him, or a streak of sanity flashed through his maddened brain. His purpose held, though, and from Atlanta he followed the former presi dent to Chattanooga. Evansville, In dianapolis and Chicago. Not until he reached Milwaukee, though, had his nerve been screwed to the sticking point. Schrank first planned to stage the assassination In New Orleans, but later changed his plans and went to Charles ton, S. C., where he awaited the date of the colonel’s arrival here Was in the Auditorium. When Roosevelt came to Atlanta Schrank also reached the city. He was at the Auditorium the night of the Bull Moose chief's dramatic address there. His revolver was in his pocket. The scheme was in his brain, but the nerve was not in his heart. Ten thousand persons heard the colo nel speak that night. Thousands more stormed the Auditorium in vain for ad mission. Even after being turned away they strove madly for a glimpse of the former president. So dense was the throng, so eager was their desire to see the Progressive candidate, that Chief Beavers in person was called on to escort the colonel to his carriage, and then, though aided by a squad of police, he had difficulty in forcing a passage through the crowd. In this surging, noisy crowd the as sassin had every opportunity to carry out his plan. Atlanta was spared the shot, but when the Roosevelt train de parted for Chattanooga, Schrank fol lowed. 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 ater 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 tills meeting are bluffing, like your betters are bluff ing on the streets with their bets. You’re defeated and you know it." The polls opened at 7 a. m. and will close at 7 p. m. MONTENEGRINS TAKE TEN THOUSAND TURKS LONDON, Oct. 15.—The Montenegrin le gation here today received the following dispatch from Prince Peter in Cettinje: "Splendid victory over Turks today. Ten thousand Turkish prisoners captured with much artillery.” FITE WANTS TO ABOLISH COURT DALTON, GA„ Oct. 15— From 10:30 to 11 o’clock this morning Judge A. W. Fite, of the Cherokee circuit, gave his attention to discussing before the grand jury and a court room filled with peo ple the action of the court of appeals in finding him guilty of contempt of court. The speaker expressed the belief that he had not gone beyond the limit of freedom of speech allowed by the law and was not convinced that he was in contempt of court for the newspaper articles at which the members of the court took offense. “But they shall not dodge the salient features of the articles.” he said. "They must answer to them before the people of Georgia. I want the Whitfield rep resentatives in the legislature to Intro duce a bill to submit to the sovereign people of Georgia the question as to whether or not the court of appeals shall continue to exist, and I believe that such a vote would wipe the court off the face of the earth.” In speaking of his trial for contempt, he said: "Following the attorneys' speaking, the court went into a back room to consult, remained there about a half hour and returned with a written opinion which took three times as long to read as the consultation, prep aration and typewriting of the opinion consumed. "It seemed to be the consensus of opinion among those present that the opinion was written out beforehand. This I don’t charge, but I do say that if such was the case It was a terrible farce.” Opens Whitfield Court. Judge Fite opened Whitfield supe rior court this morning at 10 o’clock for the annual fall session. Through respect to the memory of Colonel T. C. Milner, solicitor general, whose death occurred Saturday, no court was held here yesterday, many local attorneys going to Cartersville to attend the fu neral. Colonel S. P.

SMI SCHEPPS, ON STINO,TELLS OF SLAYING Paymaster of Slayers Corrobo rates Stories of Rose and Webber Against Becker. NEW YORK, Oct. 15.—Sam Schepps, one of the state’s "big four” witnesses and alleged paymaster of the gunmen who slew Herman Rosenthal, was the star witness today at the trial of Lieu, tenant Ch’arles Becker, the police offi cial charged with instigating the assas sination of Rosenthal. Schepps, who fled after the murder and was captured at Hot Springs, Ark., was called to corroborate the stories of Jack Rose and Louis Webber that Becker plotted the death of Rosenthal because he "squealed” on Becker’s grafting. While Schepps was kept waiting in an ante-rodm before taking the stand, police and detectives in spected the crowd In the corridors of criminal courts building for gangsters. Mrs. Becker was one of the earlier arrivals. When Schepps was called to the stand Assistant District Attorney Frank Moss at once plunged into the same story that Rose and Webber had related. Schepps looked well groomed. He had grown stout in prison and was well dressed, with considerable orna ment. He gave his occupation as a portrait enlarger. He said he had known Rose about eighteen years and that he met Becker first at the Lafay ette baths and later when Becker raid ed the rooms of the Sam Paul associa tion. Later he acted as messenger between Becker and Rose. Got Affidavit For Becker. "I was at the home of Dora Gilbert. Rosenthal’s first wife, on July 15 i as t ” testified Schepps. ”1 was asked to go there for Becker and get an affidavit and I did it to accommodate Rose. Harry Vallon and Rose went with me Afterward we drove up to a number in Seventh avenue and got ’Dago I-rank’ Clroflcl Into the ear. Then we went to Webber’s gambling pi ace at Sixth avenue and Forty-second street. Later I left and some time early in drtnkm n * a s the 16th wMI * 1 drinking a soda in The Times square drug store 1 heard four shots near by. I ran toward the Metropole, for the shots sounded like they had been fired there. I saw a crowd collecting and a body was lying on the pavement. "1 ran into Harry Vallon at the Elks club and went to Fourteenth street where we lived, and remained there the balance of the night. "About 7 o’clock Jack Rose came and woke me up. ’Lefty Louie’ Rosen, berg, 'Dago Frank’ Clroflcl, ‘Whitey Lewis’ and ’Gyp the Blood' Horowitz were with him. Paid Slayer Gang. They wanted to know where 1 would meet them with the money. I avenue I^ftleth stre et and Eighth "At the hour we had agreed on we met at Fiftieth street and Eighth av enue, where Rose passed over the money to Lefty Louie. I did not have it. Then we went to the home of Har ry Pollock. I stayed there all day, go ing that night to Becker's apartments at the request of Rose. I told Becker that Rose was sick and worried. Beck er said: " ‘You tell him not to worry. I’ll fix everything all right. They have to prove who killed Rosenthal before they can convict any one.’ ”1 started to light a cigarette, but Becker detained me, saying: 'Don’t make a light here. They have been trailing me all day.’ "Becker wanted to know If the gun men had been paid and I told him they had. Then I went back to Pollock’s, where I found Lawyer John W, Hart.” This concluded the direct examina tion and John F. Mclntyre, chief coun sel for the defense, began cross-exam ination. Mclntyre attacked the witnesses’ character, but most of District Attor ney Whitman’s objections were sus tained by Justice Goff. Schepps final ly admitted that he was once an opium smuggler fn the Northwest, carrying the drug across the Canadian border. “I Never Closed My Eyes Last Night” How often have you been forced to say these very words.
