OCTOBER 16. 1912. Foreign Chemists Spend Day in Atlanta and Are Guests at Banquet. "You of th- South have the great -aboratory 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 " ill turn attention to it.” That is the way the German chemi cal experts 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 last night for Ducktown. Tenn., after a day spent in visiting fertilizer and cotton seed oil plants. Dr. H. Buckner, of Dresden, was one of the most enthusiastic of the converts to believers in possibilities of tin- South. He is one of the striking figures in Hie group, his bushy black whiskers and broad, black hat making him conspicuous in any party. He spoke of the great development in tire fertilizer business in the South and the possibilities for developing hundreds of other products of which the raw mate trials 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 products at a still higher rate. I lie 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 were among the guests of honor. Chemists Entertained. Sixty-nine of the leading chemists [gathered at the bartquet board of the I t a.pital City club last night as the guests of the Chamber of Commerce and the Georgia section of the Atneri -1 can I’hemical society, following their reception during the day by leading citizens of the community, led by Colo 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 icans 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 the learned profes sors 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 ded the visitors to Ducktown. Tenn.

Marion Jackson, one of the leaders of the Men and Religion Forward Move ment, commented on the result as fol lows: "The nomination of Mr. Woodward has not altered our belief that God is in our midst.

Oct. 16—After a restful night, i 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. Tite 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 after 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 would 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 site 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 awake 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.” he told the nurse. "But if you’ll just hurry some breakfast it will do for the time be ing.” Miss Fitzgerald ordered eggs, bacon, HANAN SHOES are for Women Who Really Appreciate Fine Footwear And what a great thing to be able to ronie here and select from a score of styles EX ACTLY what pleases your taste and tits your Il foot at every point!

Prepares Ward For Wife’s Coming. After his breakfast Colonel Roosevelt directed preparations that were made for the coming of Mrs. Roosevelt. At t : 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 lata in ar riving. Dr. Murphy arrived at the hospital shortly after 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, howevbr, 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 Airs. 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 liis 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, Howers 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 he 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 ajid 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 McCauiev After another hour's reading, he*a~a,n sought sleep. n Dr. John B. Murphy, Dr. Arthur D ea . n Bevan and Dr. Scurry L. Terrell seenua eminently satisfied with the patient , condition. When he was examined at 10:30 o'clock his pulse was 86. or 14 counts above normal, but it was strnne and steady. His temperatuf-e was 99 2 but three-fifths of a degree above nor’ mal, and his respiration was good The indications were that the wound would heal normally, though antitoxin was administered to prevent possibilitj ol 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 perl sonal physician, left the hospital earh They indicated strongly that there would be no necessity to probe for th® bullet. With the single exception of a nerv ousness natural to a man of ,q r 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 confinemem 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 insisted on receiving the newspaper men who had been in hit entourage during his long speaking trip. His interview with them was en tirely personal 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 forms 1 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 Kentuc-ki city. hIIKAIEJIREDI L WOMEN J This is an unnatural con dition— a little rest each day and Scott’s Emulsion after evert' meal gives nature the material to restore strength.
