Much of the time Mrs. Roosevelt sat In the observation compartment resting Miss Ethel and Theodore. Jr., spent much of their time with their mother "Don't worry about me." the colonel told his wife on one of her frequent trip# to his stateroom. "I'm doing fine." The former president was taking a nap when the train neared Fort Wayne. A salute blown from a railroad whistle awakened him "Where are wo?" he asked. When told that tt was Fort Wayne a city in whJoh he spokq from the rear platform on his recent swing he srmtlod "Indiana, is all right,'’ he said. Workman poked t.hcir heads from ♦ftctortas as the train pulled through the yards and waved at the colonel's car.

"I atn glad. It’ll I been the lotrge.-t week I ever spent in ] ut\ life." With an escort of an police, the ' wounded former president was taken to the station and placed abbard hts private car on the Pennsylvania train leaving for New York at 8:15 o'clock. Elaborate preparations were made to prevent any other attempts against his life. Police surrounded the limousine in which he made the trip to the sta tion. Others were on the tope of lower buildings airmg the route to prevent unexpected attacks from such points of ▼anta.ge. crowds gathered at the hospital gate •nfi at the station, shouted hearty goe»d-by«* to the colonel and hie party. Awake at 8. a. m. After Sound Sleep The colonel rose »t 6 am., after a night of sound, restful sleep Then he ordered his last breakfast as a Mercy hospital patient. With the exception of a few minor dataile. all packing had been done The menu for the colonel’s breakfast had bean approved by Mrs. Roosevelt be fore sbe retired and was soon brought tn. The morning meal included poached eggs bacon, toast, tea, muffins and a cereal Mrs Roosevelt had risen a quarter of an hour before her husband woke and she joined him at breakfast A little table was set up beside the colonel's bed. Both nurses. Miss Margaret Fitz gerald and Miss Blanche Weller, as sisted in serving the meal. At 6 30 a. m. Drs. John B Murphy, Arthur D Bevan. Scurry L. Terrell, Alexander G. Lambert and William Mc- Cauley arrived for the final examina tion of the former president. They ad justed the bandages and dressings. After a brief consultation they an nounced that no unexpected symptom had developed and that the trip might be begun in safety. "I’m fit to go to war." said the colo nel. laughingly, afte- the physicians had completed the examination. "I'll get through this in tine shape, thanks to a. you men."

Mojina had threatened to force his wax' aboard the Pennsylvania train. A crowd had gathered about the hos pital before 5 a. m. Lines were estab lished ami they were forced to stand some distance away from the building. The crowd was orderly In the extreme. There was little of the shouting that usually marks the crowds that gleet the colonel in Chicago. Instead those who appeared were evidently ei<h’e> drawn by curiosity or in an effort to show their regard for the colonel- with out causing any undue excitement. Several men whose appearance aroused the suspicion of the police were quietly escorted through the crowd and told to go. One of these men is said to be the principal of a south side school, who defied police authority and demanded a right to stand near tile hos pital. He was unable to furnish proof of his identity. Another man asserted that he was correspondent for a Philadelphia news paper, but was unable to show any cre dentials and was put outside the line.-. The police detail was under command of Lieutenant Edward Brady Assist ant Chief Herman Schuettler had made the arrangements and was in personal command of the plain clothes men who formed .the colonel's bodyguard.

In an-Ter to a general question by Senator f'lapp concerning Democratic candidates during the present year, the ; New York financier said: "When I came back front Europe in | 1911 I was. sure that the chances of Democratic success in 1912 were biight ler than in any previous campaigns. 1 I was positive that any good Democrat I except Mr. Br.van could be elected. Mr. i Br.van having been defeated three times] I I regarded as the only cloud in the I Democratic ski . 1 was a lifelong friend j of Governor Harmon and* as has been previously testified, I gave, between I $70,000 and $80,00(1 to his campaign fund. Senator Bankhead also approach ed me in behalf of Representative L'n dyrwood. As he was a Southerner, j naturally wished to see him nominated and I contributed in the neighborhood of $30,000 to that end. I never had any reward for these or any other po litical gifts nor did I ever hope for any."\ Senator- Pomerene caused some met - rimentvwhen he a-ked the witness w hat j part of Ills 1904 contribution had been made after he was sure Parker could , not be elected. Ryan replied: Gave After Certain Os Parker's Defeat. "I concluded that Judge Parker could not be elected before he was nomi nated. Therefore, all I gave was sub sequently to that conclusion. It was given for the good of the Democratic party." "Put me down as 1 a retired working man.'’ said George W. Perkins, to the 'official stenographer on taking the I Gand. "At present I am spending about ighteen hours a day to put through an ■ight-hour 18 w." "What do you know of the 1904 cam paign asked Chairman Clapp. "I feel so insignificant where/con prlbutions concerned after llsten | ing to Mr. Ryan's testimony that 1 i don't know w hether I am going to be I in’., r< srtng," replied Mr. Perkins. He told the committee that in 1904 he 1 was a member of the flint of J. P. Mor ; aan & Co v arid also was connected with ] the New York Life Insurance Company I and that he served under Treasurer | Biis-. of ihe Republican national com , | pt ittee. "There has been evidence with refer ence to meeting in New. York in 1904 with certain business men to deter mine what candidate they would sup port," said Senate Clapp, "What do you know abopt that'.’". "I have no recollection of any such meetings, tnd the I heard of it was when Judge Parker made the charge." Witness said he contributed some w here between $50,000' and SBO,OOO in 1904,-and he believed J. P. Morgan con ti"bitted $150,009. When asked about a contribution made in 1904 by the New York Life, Mr. Perkins said: "Now, senator, there has been so rnticli discussion about that contribu tion and I have been criticised so much about it in the' shape of indestructible lies l would like to file a statement.” Perkins' statement, which purported to contain facts in connection with the New York Life Insurance Company to Hie national committee, w as in the form of questions and answers before the Armstrong investigating committee of I 1905. at which time John C. McCall, president of the New York Life, testi fied. The remainder of this portion of the Perkins statement was taken up with iris own personal views relative, to the publicity of campaign contributions concluding th? statement that he had. sent Cornelius N. Bliss $74,019.19 rather than allow the contribution to be cred ited directly ft> the New York Life, of which he was at that time a trustee. Perkins testified that he recalled nothing specifically of the • so-called Harriman fund, but "if such a fund was raised 1 may have tnade a contribution to it. or 1 may not have." He sail] that he made contributions to the state campaigns in Maryland and West Virginia, but did not recall the amounts. He offered to the com mittee several letters and said that while all of them did not beat on cam ipaign contributions. I rather gathered I that my motives and activities are quite as much in question as any contribu ] tions 1 ha ve made." ’ SIO,OOO Check For Senator Beveridge. line of these letters was elated Octc be 15 1994, in.'osing a check for $lO.- UOII "for the benefit of Senator Bevt - idge." to be sent to that candidate in Indiana Independent of the Western ( ommittee A second letter, dated Not ember- 17. 1904. from Cornelius N.

Perkins said: "The ’ slo.noir I returned was the money given to me to send to Senator Beveridge. I sent it, but he returned it. saying that he found himself able to pat his own expenses and did not want tn put that expense on the national committee." The witness said that he had given some <20.000 to the Republican con £ r-«sional committee in I9og and other small amounts for local expenses in York.

I remember one campaign which 1 waged to save the Palisade of the Hud son. in which 1 raised a million and a half dollars." In speaking of the publication of campaign receipts and expenditures, lie said: "I am sorry that the Republican par ty has not published its accounts and that the Democratic party has also failed to do so this year.” I his remark nettled Senator Oliver , who rebuked the witness and the re mark was withdrawn from the record. Questioned about the 1912 pre-con vention campaign, Perkins said: "I made personally to the Roosevelt pre-convention fight as follow s: "To the New York state committee, $15,000: to E. H. Hooker, treasurer ttl the national fund. $22,500; for work in connection with the office in ton. $32,500: for taking polls in New $ oi’k and Brooklyn, $16,000: money sent to different states, $19,500, and to Ed ward W. Sims, of Chicago, $17,500." This totaled $123,000. "Do you know of any other contribu tions?” asked Senator Clapp. "I know of Mr. Munsey's and either want to suggest that the line of inquiry of this committee Is making a very erroneous impression on the public mind. You bring differ ent people here and they testify to contributions which are already included, in the accounts of na'tional offices. It is worse than a system of compound interest, because every fund is testified to perhaps two or three times and the total of these funds is far greater than the actual amount of money received.” CLEAN YOUR LIVER AND 3D FEET OF BOWELS WITH "SYRUP OF FIGS” More effective than calomel, castor oil or salts; gently cleanses the stomach, liver and bowels without nausea or griping.
