2 Ex-President Ideal Patient, But Chafes Under Inactioity---Condition, About Normal, Pleases Physicians “I FEEL FINE,” SAYS ROOSEVELT, AFTER A NIGHT OF RESTFUL SLEEP HOOSEVELT FULE OF JOFAMILY ST BEDSIDE Con: nued From Page One the s: r hi sr.ort When Tip canie out he was smiling Rev.

Ethel and Theodore Roose velt, Jr., left their father's apartment I They seemed in good spirits "I believe father will speedily recov er. ' said Theodore. The others made no comment, but nodded approval to their I orother’s remark. Mrs. Roosevelt re- I ■nained with her husband "Father s pluck will pull him I through,” the young man added. Fa- ; titer is game, you can bet." Mrs. Roosevelt, before she entered the I alck chamber, showed that she had been I greatly worried. “Os course. I have been greatly wor ried.” she said. "My prayers have been for the best that might come." Dr. Lambert was optimistic. "There is always danger from a gun shot wound.” he said, “but the colonel is in robust health and I am confident that he will come through in great shape, unless unexpected complications should develop. I can talk more intel ligently about the case after! have had opportunity for a thorough examina tion” The colonel's spirits rose as the morning advanced. "I am trying to be a good soldier." he ‘ remarked, “and 1 am doing the best I can, but this sticking to one's bed when one feels all right is hard work." After his visit. Father Vattman as serted that Roosevelt's condition today is evidently much improved Much Improved, Says Father Vattman "The colonel is coming along finely," he said. "He is much improved today. No one who saw him yesterday and who had seen him today can doubt that for an instant. I believe his complete recovery from the bullet wound will be rapid.” Stenographer E. E, Martin. woo overpowered John Schrank after the shooting, was less optimistic. "The colonel's condition is still grave." said Martin after he had been in the room for a few minutes. “T be lieve he is improved over yesterday, however, and is coming along nicely.” Physicians who were in the colonel's room today had to stop their examina tion long enough to explain the work ings of an oxygen apparatus installed to keep the air pure. “Science Is going far these days,” was the colonel's comment. “I wonder what will come next.” One remarkable telegram was among those received today. It came from New York and was signed Frank James. The writer offered to become one of a volunteer bodyguard for the colonel and indicated his willingness to pay his own expenses. The identity of the man Is not known “I offer for services one of one hun dred or less number, as you suggest, ae a bodyguard for the rest of the cam paign,” the telegram read. “Choose for yourself ninety-nine and allow me to name myself, making one hundred. Would choose no one who is not will ing to go into eternal darkness for you if necessary to do so. Would pay my own expenses.” Messages From European Monarchs. Colonel Roosevelt was much pleased today over the receipt of telegrams of sympathy and congratulations from King George of England, Emperor Wil liam of Germany and King Alfonso of Spain. He dictated replies to these. Dr. Terrell todaj made a statement regarding the possible complications that might result from the wound. "I would not wish to say at this time that Colonel Roosevelt is not danger ously wounded.” he said. “The gun was a foul one and the bullet passed through too many substances before it entered the body for the fear of blood poisoning not to be imminent. “Colonel Roosevelt is one of the most i powerful men I have ever .seen laid out on the operating table. There is no indication at present that the lung has been pierced. The wound Is simple, but dangerous because of the possibility of blood poisoning. It is largely due to the fact of the colonel s unusual chest de velopment that he was not fatallv wounded.” Among the telegrams received by the former president was one from Presi dent Failieres of France "I congratulate you most sincerely on having happily escaped from the horri ble attempt made against your person, and 1 pray that you accept my best wishes for a speedy recovery and the expression of my sympathy," the mes sage said. Another message from the ('town Prince and Princess of Germany read: "Very anxious about your health. Hope you will recover." A mesguge from King Victor Em manuel has not yet been translated.

OCTOBER 16. 19iz. Foreign Chemists Spend Day in Atlanta and Are Guests at Banquet. "You of the South have the great laboratory’ of the world. It is rich in minerals, rich in vegetables and sup plied with ample water and electric power to turn a million wheels. The South will be the seat of the world’s greatest chemical manufacture if she will turn at’en lon to it.” That is the way the Geirnan chemi cal expert: look on this section, after a visit of several days, ending in Atlanta last night. The party of 50 tourists representing the Internationa! Con gress of Applied Chemistry, left las: night for Ducktown. Tenn., after a day spent in visiting fertilizer and cotton seed oil plants. Dr. H. Buckne:, of Dresden, was one of the most enthusiastic of the converts to believers in possibilities of the South. He is one of the striking figures in the group, his bushy black whiskers and broad, black hat making him conspicuous in any party. He spoke of the great development in the fertilizer business in the South and the possibilities for developing hundreds of other products of which the raw mate rials lie at our hands. He expressed surprise that we mine certain-raw ma terials in the South, ship them to Phil adelphia at a high freight rate, and bring back the finished pioduets at a . still higher rate. The visitors closed their day in At lanta with a dinner at the Capital City : club given by the Chamber of Com merce and local chemists. Some of the addresses were in English and some in German. Governor Brown and Mayor Winn weie among the guests of honor. Chemists Entertained, Sixty-nine of the leading' chemists gathered at the banquet board of the Capital City club last night as the guests of the Chamber of Commerce and the Georgia section of the Ameri can Chemical society, following their . reception during the day by leading citizens of the community, led by Colo -1 nel W. L. Peel. The chemists drank toasts to Atlanta —the "best city in the world." Dr. Wense. manager of a large electrical concern in Germany, praised Americans as people of iron wills, and Dr. Brandeis. the head of the largest chemical plant in Austria, injected the friendly criticism that although Amer . leans developed the physical being to the fullest, perhaps they left much un done in cultivating the mind. These speeches were largely in the native tongue, but Dr. Adan, of Ghent, Belgium, got on a level with the audi ence by employing English. He praised both the mental and the physical in the United States, but failed to mention the spiritual. Mayor Winn and President Wilmer L. Moore welcomed tile learned piotes lors to this country, and Dr. David Day, of Washington, responded. It was a great night, but rudely interrupted when a special train of nine cars car ried the visitors to Ducktown, Tenn The chemists were shown about the city in the morning in automobiles. They met Governor Brown. State Ge ologist Te<\:es.

But Wood ward said he would make no statement about what he was going to do until after the general election in November. Mr. Woodward declared today that his election would mean an administra tion of sanity and common sense. ■ There are too many vital matters to demand our attention to give any time to ‘isms' next year," said Mr. Wood- Ward.

The will of the majority expressed at the polls is His will. We ' shall cheerfully abide by it. : “We fought Mr. Woodward fairly and 1 squarely without feeling against him personally.

Awakes With Ravenous Hunger, and Orders His Allowance of Two Eggs Be Increased to Three. CHICAGO, ILL.. Oct. 16.—After a restful night, Colonel Theo dore Roosevelt, suffering from a bullet wound inflicted by a would-be assassin, woke at 6:20 o'clock this morning'. "I feel fine,” was his greeting to the night nurse. Miss Margaret Fitzger ald. The colonel had been sleeping since 3:15 o'clock. When he awoke his temperature was 98.6’ (normal), his respiration 20 and his pulse 74. The colonel slept peacefully most of the night. He awakened about 2 o'clock and asked for a book. Explaining to Nurse Fitzgerald that he had always been a light sleeper, he switched on his light and began to read. Shortly aftei 3 o’clock he turned the light off, saying that he felt drowsy. A few minutes later he was sleeping and snoring so loudly that he was heard from out in the corrider. His physicians visited him frequent ly during the night. They' were greatly pleased at his condition. The colonel, they said, slept naturally, showing no signs of fever dreaded as the sign of possible infection from his wound. Only once during the night was there an in crease in temperature and that was only one degree above normal. It quickly subsided. Condition Normal, Physicians Pleased. The colonel's condition when he awaked this morning was exceptionally pleasing to the doctors. With pulse, temperature and respiration normal, they believe that danger of infection is virtually passed. Every' precaution, however, will be maintained throughout the day. If infection develops, it is ex pected to manifest itself by tonight. To be absolutely on the safe side, the doctors last night injected anti-tetanic serum to guard against lockjaw. This, they' say, may have accounted for the slight increase in temperature. The colonel today eagerly looked for ward to the coming of Mrs. Roosevelt. He spoke of her coming frequently to the doctors, the nurse and the few per sons who have been permitted to see him sine the physicians decreed abso lute quiet for him. "Mr. Roosevelt was very anxious to see Mrs. Roosevelt," said Miss Fitzger ald. "He talked about her a good deal and was very particular to have every thing in the room arranged so it w’ould be pleasant for her.” The colonel's anxiety over his wife's arrival extended to his clothes, which he wanted neat and trim to wear when she arrived. The colonel was delighted over the visit of his daughter, Mrs. Alice Long worth, who arrived last night from Cin cinnati. and visited her father. He talked of her visit to the nurse and ex pressed a desire to see her again dur ing the morning. As soon as the colonel was fully aw'ake this morning he was given a sponge bath. After that he said he was hungry. The sleep and the bath, he said, both helped his appetite. “That last sleep I had and this bath have given me a craving for something more than I can get here,” ite told the nurse. "But if you’ll just hurry some breakfast it will do for the time be ing.” Miss Fitzgerald ordered eggs, bacon.

CARLTON Shoe and Clothing Co. 36 Whitehall St. At his direction, she increased the al lowance from two to three eggs. Prepares Ward For Wife’s Coming. After his breakfast Colonel Roosevelt directed preparations that were made for the coming of Mrs. Roosevelt. At 7:30 o'clock Blanche Welter, the day nurse, came on. The colonel asked her to give most of her time to Mrs. Roose velt's room, which adjoins his own. He sent I. J. Kumbalek, the male nurse who is helping to care for the colonel, out for certain articles that he thought would add to Mrs. Roose velt's comfort. Dr. John F. Golden arrived at the hospital shortly before 8 o’clock. He was informed by the colonel that Mrs. Roosevelt must in no way be allowed to think that the wound was other than slight. He wanted the physician to in form her that the colonel was submit ting to quiet in his rooms only as a matter of precaution and to satisfy his friends. Dr. Terrell was already at the hos pital. Dr. John B. Murphy and Dr. Arthur Dean Bevan were late in ar riving. Dr. Murphy arrived at the hospital shortly aftei' 8 o’clock and prepared for the consultation with the other doctors. Wants to Plunge Back Into Campaign. Already the confinement has begun to chafe the ex-president. As the doc tors took his temperature and pulse this morning he chatted about the possibil ity of leaving the hospital tomorrow. The colonel wants to plunge into the campaign again. As his temperature was taken, the colonel chatted pleasantly with the in ternes who were in the room. "His pulse is better than mine right now,” said one of the internes after he left the room. The colonel, however, even in his anxiety to leave the hospital and re sume the campaign, did not long forget the coming of his wife. "Ask the newspaper boys to find out where Mrs. Roosevelt is.” he requested. He was told that the train had just reached Englewood and that Mrs. Roosevelt would be there in a few min utes. He expressed delight at the an nouncement. Sleeps as Peacefully As in Own Home. Just as peacefully as he is accus tomed to sleeping in his own room in his Oyster Bay home. Colonel Roose velt spent last night in Mercy hospital, though the eminent surgeons attend ing him had changed their opinion that his hurt was “a mere flesh wound” to describing it as "a serious wound in the chest.” Hundreds of callers, thousands of cu rious, crowded the neighborhood of the hospital. Telegrams of sympathy poured to the place, flowers were banked about the colonel’s room, but they all had little effect on the con dition of the former president. For an hour or more he read his beloved Mc- Cauley. Then lie switched off his read ing lamp and went to sleep shortly aft er 9 o’clock with the command that his breakfast in the morning be a large one, as he was sure to be ravenously hungry. Insists Upon Shaving Himself. He awoke an hour and a half later and demanded hot water and his shav ing tackle. Though the assistance of the hospital barber was tendered him. the colonel performed this operation himself and then submitted to being sponged off and enjoyed an alcohol rub. He then underwent a clinical ex- amination and returned to McCauley After another hour’s reading, h e ae . q ,‘ sought sleep. 8 Dr. John B. Murphy, Dr. Arthur Dean Bevan and Dr. Scurry L. Terrell seemed emmently satisfied with the patient condition. When he was examined ’ 10:30 o’clock his pulse was 86 or counts above normal, but it was strop» and steady. His temperature was 99 f but three-fifths of a degree above nor mal. and his respiration was good Th indications were that the wound wouli heal normally, though antitoxin wa« administered to prevent possibility of lockjaw. It was this, it is believed that caused the slight rise in temper ature. Colonel Proves Ideal Patient. All the surgeons, with the exception of Dr. Terrell, Colonel Roosevelt's per sonal physician, left the hospital earlv They indicated strongly that there would be no necessity to probe for tb. bullet. 9 With the single exception of a nerv ousness natural to a man of Mr Roosevelt’s activity on being bedrid den. he proved a perfect patient throughout the day. He submitted readily to all treatments and his only complaint against the confinement of the hospital was by innuendo, when he suggested to Dr. Terrell that he thought an hour's drive in the fresh air would not be dangerous to his physical con diition. His afternoon was not an inactive one. He personally read each of the scores of telegrams that came and seemed particularly pleased with those messages of sympathy from distin guished men he had met on his famous trip to Europe on his return from Africa. Contrary to the advice of the physi cians. he nsisted on receiving the newspaper men who had been in his entourage during his long speaking trip. His interview with them was en tirely petsonal and he expressed the hope that he would soon be able "to make some more news for them.” He seemed anxious about his speak ing date in Louisville tonight and was happy when it was arranged for forme: Senator Beveridge, of Indiana, to take his place. He sent a message with Senator Beveridge, which he wished de livered to the people at the Kentuckv city.
