2 RODSEVELTHIIPPY AS HE REACHES OYSTER BAY Colonel Waves His Hat to Wel coming Neighbors—“ Glad to Get Home.” He Says. Continued From Page One. entire day to tin celebration of th' safe arrival of thir distinguished neighbor. Wearied But Happy On Reaching Home. Wearied by 24 hours of traveling, but showing his famous smile in happiness over his return to his home. Colonel Theodor. Roosevelt reached New York at 8:08 o'clock today over th. Pennsyl vania railroad, and the last lap of the journey to Oyster Bay was immediately begun. The train bearing the colonel's pri vate car, Ideal, was exactly on time when it pulled into the Pennsylvania, station. When the train arrived here, Dr. Alexander Lambert, the Roosevelt fam ily physician, who accompanied the ex president from Chicago, issued the fol lowing bulletin: "Colonel Roosevelt is very cheerful this morning. He is in good condition, and expressed himself as being delight ed at the prospect of arriving home this morning." The colonel’s private car and that bearing the newspaper correspondents were switched over to the Long Island railroad tracks at the Pennsylvania station and tun as a special to Oystei Bay. The colonel was thus saved the fatigue and annoyance of changing trains. Colonel Roosevelt was the most cheerful man on the train. "By George,” he said, "it sepms good to think that I am going to be home. They were mighty good to me in Mercy hospital In Chicago, but there is no place like home." The colonel's condition was highly pleasing to his two physicians. Dr. Lambert and Dr. Scurry L. Terrell. Colonel Actually Improves on Trip. Dr. Lambert declared that the colo nel had actually improved during the trip from the West. "Colonel Roosevelt’s condition is very encouraging,” he said. "It should en courage his many friends. He ate heartily a real breakfast this morning. It was a fine breakfast —chicken, eggs, toast and coffee, and plenty of each. "The colonel slept very well last night considering the long journey and th< jolting of the train. He hasn't shown the least signs of severe fatigue. He fell asleep about 111 p. m. and slept through the night, with the exception of four shocks when he awoke because of the jolting of the car.” It appears that there was something the matter with the air brake of tiie colonel’s private ear. It was a bit too tight in operation, and whenever it was ornployed. it clamped the wheels hard, and brought his ear to a mote sudden etop than was the case with the other cats on the train, the Western express of the Pennsylvania railroad These jolts occurred at Altoona at 12:30 a. tn., at Harrisburg, and then between Har risburg and North Philadelphia. But the colonel quickly fell asleep after each awakening. When the train arrived at North Philadelphia, at 5:56 a. m„ the first per son to approach the colonel's ear was Dr. J. William White, surgeon at the naval hospital of the Pennsylvania uni versity and head of the department of medicine at that institution. Dr. White Is one of the most eminent men in his profession In the United States and is a close personal freind of Colonel Roose velt News Photographers Awaken Whole Train. Dr White was shown into the colo nel's car, but the colonel was not yet awake. However, he was awakened shortly afterward when a battalion of photographers who had gathered at the North Philadelphia station shot off their flashlights. The flashlights also awoke every one else on the train, and for a few minutes there was a good deal of excitement Some people thought there had been another attack on the former president. Window curtains in the cars ahead of the colonel's shot up and heads ap peared a' the windows. The conductor of the train rushed to the platform, and the porters in the special ear also hur riedly left their Stations to si e w hat had happened. The excitement quickly end ed, however, when the cause of the noises was learned. Dr. White was shown into the colo nel’s compartment as soon as he had awakened, and the greeting between the two friends was a warm om Dr. White conferred with Dr Lambert and Dr. Terrell, and afterward Dr White made this statement. "The colonel is in good condition, and there is now apparently no chance whatever for adverse developments." Dr. White explained that the bullet was between the third ami fourth ribs, resting on tin latter. He aid that an operation to extract the ball would be neither difficult nor delicate, but that no operation was considered necessary unless the bullet began to trouble the patient. Ihe wound bled slightly 'his morn ing. but Dr. Lambert stated this was merely the necessary drainage of the wound.

It was freshly dressed after the colonel awoke this morning, and it was seen to be in excellent condition. It is healing remarkably well." The colonel ate his breakfast in lii dressing gown. He did not get into his clothes until after his special train had left the Pennsylvania station here. The colonel's private car. aside from the compartments for the family, was a miniature hospital, equipped with al most everything that might be found in a larger hospital. There wis an opei - ating table and every necessary instru ment. and the two physicians were pre pared to operate at a moment's notice if any untoward symptoms had devel oped in the patient. Mark Lyon, the engineer, hud re ceived instructions to stop the train as quickly as possible upon signal from the surgeons. The car would then have been backed into the nearest siding, and the colonel immediately put on the op erating table. The othei surgeons left in Chicago were prepared to take ah othei special train and go to wherever the colonel should have been. But these were merely precautionary meas ures.

GLOOM THICK AS COUNCIL BANS 4 LOCKER CLUBS Aldine Chambers Aids McClel land Lead Fight to Keep Buffets Open. Glooms stalked around four of At lanta's locker clubs today, for with i Mayor Winn's approval of the city I council’s action the clubs will be closed, and there is no doubt that Mayor Winn will approve the action of council. They are the Georgia Athletic, the Southern, the Knights of the Mystic Ark and the Bees clubs. The members and officers of the Press club and the Central club are still uncomfortable, for the police committee of the council has delayed action on these for two weeks for further investigation. Nine of the locker clubs were grant ed permits at the meeting of the coun cil yesterday afternoon. The Piedmont Driving club, the Atlanta Athletic, the M. & M., the Elks, the Standard, the Georgian Terrace, the Eagles, the Moose and the Beavers clubs did not file their petitions in time. But W. G. Humphrey, chairman of the police com mittee, informed the council that the committee had investigated these clubs, and he intimated that they would all be approved at the next meeting of coun cil. Chambers For Clubs. In enforcing the new charter amend ment, Chairman Humphrey and his committee won out in the council yes terday, despite a bitter fight for the clubs led by Aiderman John E. McClel land and Councilmen Aldine Chambers and Claude C. Mason. All declared that the police committee had to fight a strong combination, for it was the first time that Councilman Chambers and Aiderman McClelland have been on the same side of any question this year. From the discussions of the various officials, a spectator would have im agined that the council was struggling with a deep and weighty problem. But It was very simple. Before the council secured additional authority from the legislature a number of clubs were able to run despite the objection of the council. When the authority was se cured the committee proceeded to try to close a number of clubs which they branded as masquerading barrooms. All the opposition was merely an effort to keep these clubs from being closed. “The only objection to the report of the police committee is that the mem bers and officers of some of these clubs have political influence, and they are exercising it," declared Aiderman James E. Warren. "Not a Club Meeting Law.” “You admit that there is not a locker club in the city complying with the state law.” said Councilman Chambers to Aiderman Warren. “I want to know how you reconcile your action in grant ing permits to some of them with your oath of office.” "If I could get enough of you politi cians to agree with me I would move to close them all," replied Mr. Warren. "I can’t do that, so I am trying to do the best I can.” Aiderman McClelland then wanted to close them all. But he was persuaded not to make such a motion. , Councilman Mason insisted that the police committee make public the evi dence upon which it closed these clubs. He said the sessions of the committee were executive, but that the council men ought to know why the clubs were being closed. The committee declined to give this information. The vote on the Georgia Athletic club was 14 to 14. Mayor Pro Tern Candler cast the decid ing vote to close the club. GEORGIA RY.

He said his only reason for attacking the man was that he wanted to kill some one. HANNA AUXILIARY BISHOP. ROCHESTER. N. Y„ Oct. 22.—Rev. Dr. Edward J. Hanna a nrofessor at St. Bernards Theological seminary here, today received notice of his appoint ment as auxiliary bishop of San Fran clsci SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS ON GEORGIA POLITICS By JAMES B. NEVIN. The general opinion of the newspaper men who visit the state capitol seeking whatever news daily they may devour is that the Honor- Sr. able Murphey Candler is some railroad commis sioner, all right! The chairman of the commission is a human en cyclopedia of rail road wisdom, and whal he doesn’t know about what is going on rail roadwise in these United States is not going on— that’s all. In digging and delving around hither and yon, Mr. Candler turns up some significant facts now and then, and frequently he finds out things not particularly pleasing to some people. Not that he is naturally of a mean dis position, or anything of that sort, but that in the Candler philosophy, two and two do not, never did, and never will, make anything more nor less than four. And so the chairman has discovered that Georgia collects a smaller tax per mile from the railroads of the state than any other state in the Union col lects, with the exception of sou zona, New Mexico, Texas and South Dakota. "Georgia only gets $194 per mile,” said the commissioner today, “and that is mighty little, compared with some of the states. Massachusetts, for instance, collects $2,300 per mile. "I am not giving these figures with any particular object in mind, you un derstand. It merely happens that they show an interesting state of things. When the cost of rahroad construction and equipment per mile is taken into consideration, it can not be said that Georgia grinds the railroads to pieces in the matter of taxation, anyway!” Commissioner Candler is one of the most regular officials in the capitol, in the matter of attending strictly to his job. One rarely enters the office of the chairman of the commission that he isn’t there, generally up to his neck in work. The various state house officials are busy nowadays publishing their sworn statements of expense Incurred in the last election, and their statements make interesting reading, particularly be cause everybody is able to swear this time that it cost him nothing whatever to get himself elected! The law requires that a statement of expense shall be published, in both the general and the primary elections, but It Is tn the primaries, of course, that the coin flies in Georgia. The general election is not at all ex citing—the nominating election gener ally is exciting a-plenty and some ex pensive! John M. Slaton does not know yet that he has been elected —that is, he doesn't know it officially—and so he will not have to file an expense account at this time. Editor Brown, of The Newnan Herald and Advertiser, still is gasping for breath, things came so swift last week, and he tried so hard to keep up with everything going on! He devotes over a column —mostly DESERTER, WHO BEAT POST GUARD, IS TAKEN BY CIVIL OFFICERS Frank Jones, private In the coast ar tillery and military prisoner, who, with Private Crady. of the Twenty-second in fantry, escaped from the reservation at Fort McPherson last May. has been cap tured by civil authorities in Columbus, Ga. Crady was killed by a guard. Jones was held at Fort McPherson, awaiting trial for desertion. In charge of the guard, the pair were working on a roadway near the fort, when Jones beat the guard on the head with a rock. Crady received the bullet intended for Jones. MRS. BRUMBY’S FUNERAL HELD AT MARIETTA TODAY MARIETTA, GA.. Oct. 22.—Mrs. J. R. Brumby, of this city, died at her winter home at Duneden, Fla., last Fri day night after a short illness. Her body was brought to Marietta and the funeral was held late yesterday afternoon from the Episcopal church, of which she was a member. Mrs. Brumby was about 65 years old and was the wife of J. R. Brumby, presi dent of the Marietta Chair, Company. Besides her husband, she is survived by three daughters—Miss Isabel Brumby and Mrs. I . D. Hoppe, of Ma rietta, and Mrs. Leach, of Florida — and by three sons—R. M., B. G. and J. R. Brumby, Jr., all of Marietta. VETERANS OF KEY TO MEET. SAVANNAH, GA., Oct. 22.—" The Old-Timers." an association composed of telegraph operators with 25 years or more service, will be the guests of Sa vannah on October 25. They will come up from Jacksonville, where the annual meeting will be held on October 24, and remain over until the following after noon, when they will take a steamer for New York. GIVES BARBECUE TONIGHT The Georgia Athletic Club will entertain its members at a regular monthly barbecue tonight at its club rooms, 10 S. Forsyth. The management makes it a positive RULE that no ladies are allowed. Good speaking, fancy pool playing, boxing matches and other athletic features promised all the members who will at tend. filled with adjectives—in the current issue of his paper, discussing the bis news editorially, and he finds that with the Fite case, the shooting of T. R a • the election of Woodward in Atlant there was more jammed into one li tt u week than a country editor should be required to keep track of! Editor Brown makes an even bre-k in his comment, however. He approve, the Fite finding, disapproves the T r shooting, and neither points with nor views with alarm in the Woodwari matter. “ Governor Brown is getting more or less sore on one feature of his guber natorial job—sore physically on ] e « than mentally—and that is the law ,-1 quiring that he sign in person all th ; commissions that go out from hi- a, partment. Recently he has been busy signing ur some 2,000 certificates of authority to county commissioners throughout the state, and there is another little batcr of 1,500 justice of the peace warrant, awaiting his attention as soon as be can get to them. Having to sign one’s name 3,500 times hand running is going some in the name signing business, and the govern or has rather a large and imposing signature, at that! It takes him quite an appreciable fraction of a second to fashion in ap proved form the big "J” with which he starts his signature on its way to sat isfactory existence. Besides these commissions and things that are forever demanding of the gov ernor a part of his time and energy, there are hundreds at letters that he feels it a duty to look over carefully before personally attaching his signa, ture thereto. Frequently he goes home in the aft ernoon wishing with all his heart that his hand were a rubber stamp, and that the law permitted him to give official sanction to legal documents merely by using it as rubber stamps usually are handled. Hardly a day passes that one does not hear in Atlanta of a boom having been started for this, that or the other patriotic and liberty loving Georgian possessed of a rampant desire here and there to be postmaster of his home town, in the event of Wilson’s election to the presidency—and no would-be postmaster in Georgia can see anything but Wilson rainbows in the skies polit ical, no matter the direction in which at the moment he may be squinting Already there are under-the-cover movements on for the postmastershipe of Atlanta, Savannah, Rome, Augusta and Valdosta— and doubtless there, are other booms, in cold storage as yet, that will appear in time. It isn’t fair to name names yet. of course, for there is no use running the risk this early in the game ot getting Democratic wires crossed in Georgia; but it may be accepted as a fact that nevertheless, the would-be Democratie postmasters of Georgia already are sit ting up and taking notice—some ot them very carefully and discriminat ingly. Chairman William J. Hartls, of the state Democratic executive committee, received a wire from a county chairman today reading as follows: “Every man in this county Is ter Wilson except two, and even Old Satan could not change them” Mr. Harris is wondering if the infer ence here is that Satan is a Democrat.
