She asked the chef—the same who ac •nmpanled Roosevelt on the fateful Milwaukee trip t ■ prepare some toast, tea and soft boiled • The colonel ate with a relish. Then he fell asleep. Colonel's Party, Tired Out, Relaxes. The colonel’s party, weary from the long vigil and the nervous strain in Chicago, relaxed on the train. 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 I trips to his stateroom “I'm doing fine.’’ 1 The former president was taking a : nap when the train neared Fort Wayne I A salute blown from a railroad whistle I awakened him. “Where are we?” he asked When told that it was Fort Wayne, a city in which he spoke front the rear platform on his recent swing westward, j he smiled. "Indiana Is al! right.” he said. Workmen poked their heads from factories as the train pulled through the yards and waved at the colonel’s car The crowd at the station was quiet and refrained from making a demonstration of any kind There was only the usual inquiry after the colo nel’s health. “We’re Going Home At Last; I’m Glad” '’HII.’AGO, * >ct. 21. Twelve hours less than one week from the time he was shot by John Schrank in Mil waukee, Colonel Theodore Roosevelt today left Chicago for his home in Oyster Bay. For six days he has lain In Mercy hospital. For three days he has been impatient to start for home. "So we nr- going at last.” he re irked as the final preparations for tlio trip were made. “I am glad. It’s been the longest week 1 ever spent in my life.” With an escort of 80 police, the wounded former president was taken to the station and placed aboard his 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 tops of lower buildings along the route to prevent unexpected attacks from such points of vantage. Crowds, gathered at the hospital gate and at the station, shouted hearty good-byes to the colonel and his party. Awake at 6. a. m. After Sound Sleep. The colonel rose at 6 a m.. 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 details, all packing had been done. The menu for the colonel's breakfast had been approved by Mrs. Roosevelt be fore she retired and was soon brought in. 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 I). Bevan, Scurry 1.. 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. 'T'm fit to go to war," said the colo nel. laughingly, afte- the physicians had completed the examination. ‘Til get through this In fine shape, thanks to all you men." Both Doctors Murphy and Bevan were in jovial mood as they paid their final call on the big chief of the Bull Moose party. The final professional visit was transformed into a social call. Mr. Roosevelt was In a high good humor and as he was being prepared for the trip shouts of laughter. In which the physicians joined, could be heard from his room. "Don’t get too gay now and you'll be all right,” was the advice of the doctors as they prepared the colonel for the automobile trip to the station. "I'll be good—l've got to." the colonel rejoined. Just before time for departure i/n --perature and pulse were taken The stress of preparation for the journey had not affected either. Shortly there, after the following bulletin on Colonel (Roosevelt's condition was Issued: "Pulse, temperature and respiration normal. Wound still discharging serum.

At 6 o’clock a large force of plain clothes men reported at the hospital and uniformed men were about the place A special watch was kept for any kind of demonstration by the self styled Colombian representative, Luis Molina, who made a scene at the hos pital shortly after midnight and at tempted to force his way Into the colo nel's room Molina had threatened to force his way aboard the Pennsylvania train. A crowd had gathered about the hos pital before 6 a. m. Lines were estab lished ami they’ were forced to stand seme distance away from the building. The crowd was orderly’ in the extreme. There was little of the shouting that usually marks the crowds that greet the colonel in Chicago. Instead those who appeared were evidently either drawn by curiosity or in an effort to show their regard for the colonel with out causing any undue excitement. Several men whose appearance arcused 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 the 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 lines. 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. Secrecy Maintained About Departure Plans. Secrecy guarded the plans of the Roosevelts until the moment of depar ture for the station. At first it had been announced that they would go to the union station where their special car was said to have been waiting. Later it was announced that the police and the former president’s confidential advisers considered making the start from the Englewood station at Sixty third street. Later another shift was made, and it was announced that the car was waiting at the Twelfth street sta tion, at what is known as the commis sary’ station of the Pennsylvania, con nected by a roundabout spur track with Its yards near Englewood. Colonel Cecil Lyon was in personal charge of these arrangements. He con sulted with Philip Roosevelt and The odore Roosevelt, Jr. At 7:22 Colonel Roosevelt left his room. He was seat’d in a wheeled chair and carried down the stairs. He left the hospital by the Twenty-sixth street entrance. He wore n dark blue dressing gown and looked cheerful and strong “Good morning, boys," he said, as he was wheeled through the hall where the newspaper men were waiting. "How’re you feeling, colonel?" they asked "Fit to fight for my life," he an swered. Plain clothes men fell in behind the colonel as he was helped to the waiting limousine Two lines of officers formed a path through which the short dis tance from the doorway to the waiting machine was made. THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. Veteran Warrior Declares He Is Glad To Be in “Dixie’s Livest City.” Brigadier General R. K. Evans, the newly appointed commander of the De partment of the Gulf, has taken up his active duties in that office and now is in full charge of the troops In the Southern states. General Evans, who served in the Indian wars, the Spanish-American and the Filipino wars, likes the efficiency of the troops In the South and Is glad to return. He was born in Mississipp' and was graduated from West Point in 1875. "I do not expect to make any inno vations in the department, because 1 don t think innovations, are necessary," said tlie general yesterday. "I like your national guard," he re marked as he finished a conversation over the telephone w’ith General Obea", of the National Guard of Georgia. "The Fifth regiment men appear to be a fine lot of soldiers and are well officered. I am interested in the national guard and the organization of state troops, for 1 believe every man is the better for some military service. Atlanta is a fine city," he said, as he walked down. Peachtree at the Can dler building. “It is the livest Southern city I know. The people here do things anil they’re as hospitable as can be. It makes one feel at home when neigh bors offer assistance as soon as one arrives, and that is what they did here." Genera' Evans is accompanied to At lanta by his wife, and his son. Lieu tenant Evans, who is his chief aid. The general served in many of the Indian wars on the frontier during the seven ties, and also w-as head of the national guard for a time. He is one of the old est men in point of service in the army and has a record for gallantry on the field. SPRING HAS RETURNED.

This harbinger of nature’s awakening was found today In full bloom in a pasture on Wesley avenue, off Peachtree road, owned by Mrs. Katie Casey, According to experts on such things who are not nature fakers, it is the first time In year- that wild honey suckles have bloomed In the fall.

Continued From Page One. in 1904 or 1908 other than your own?” "I do not.” In answer to a general question by Senator Clapp concerning Democratic candidates during the present year, the New York financier said: "When I came back from Europe in 1911 I was sure that the chances of Democratic success in 1912 were bright er than in any previous campaigns. I was positive that any good Democrat except Mr. Bryan could be elected. Mr. Bryan having been defeated three times I regarded as the only cloud in the Democratic sky. I was a lifelong friend of Governor Harmon and as has been previously testified, I gave between $70,000 and SBO,OOO to his campaign fund. Senator Bankhead also approach ed me in behalf of Representative Un derwood. As he was a Southerner, I 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 mer riment when he asked the witness what part of his 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 1 gave was sub sequently’ to that conclusion. It was given for the good of the Democratic pa rty." "Put me down as a retired w’orklng man,” said George W. Perkins, to the official stenographer on taking the stand. "At present I am spending about eighteen hours a day to put through an eight-hour law.” "What do you know of the 1904 cam paign?" asked Chairman Clapp. "I feel so insignificant where con tributions are concerned after listen ing to Mr. Ryan's testimony’ that I don't know whether I am going to be interesting," replied Mr. Perkins. He told the committee that in 1904 he was a member of the firm of J. P. Mor gan & Co., and also was connected with the New York Life Insurance Company and that he served under Treasurer Bliss, of the Republican national com mittee. "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 Senato- Clapp. “What do you know about that?”, "I have no recollection of any such meetings, and the first I heard of it was when Judge Parker made the charge.” Witness said he contributed some where between $50,000 and SBO,OOO in 1904, and he believed J. P. Morgan con tributed $150,000. When asked about a contribution made In 1904 by the New York Lite, Mr. Perkins said: "Now. senator, there has been so much discussion about that contribu tion and I have been criticised so much about it in the shape of indestructible lies 1 would like to file a statement.” Perkins' statement, which purported to contain facts in connection with the New Yoik Life Insurance Company to the national committee, was in the form of questions and answers before the Armstrong investigating committee of 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 his own personal views relative to the publicity of campaign contributions concluding the statement that he had sent Cornelius N. Bliss $74,019.19 rather than allow the .contribution to be cred ited directly to 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 I may have made a contribution to it, or I may not have.” He said that he made contributions to the state campaigns in Maryland and West Vitglnla, but did not recall the amounts. He offered to the com mittee several letters and said that while all of them did not bear on cam paign contributions, "I rather gathered that my motives and activities are quite as much in question as any contribu tions 1 have made.” SIO,OOO Check For Senator Beveridge. One of these letters was dated Octo ber 15. 1904, inclosing a check for $lO,- 000 "for the benefit of Senator Bever idge," to be sent to that candidate in Indiana independent of the Western committee. A second letter, dated November 17, 1904, from Cornelius N. Bliss to Mr. Perkins, acknowledged the receipt of a check for SIO,OOO, which Perkins had returned to Bliss. In explaining the re turn of the check, Perkins said: “The SIO,OOO I returned was the money given to me to send to Senator Beveridge. 1 sent it, but he returned It, saying that he found himself able to pay his own expenses and did not want to put that expense on the national committee.” The witness said that he had given some $20,000 to the Republican con gressional committee in 1908 and other small amounts for local expenses in New York. Perkins testified that he contributed to the Union League club In the campaign of 1908. but did not recall the amount, and in the same BEN GREEN BEGINS LIFE SENTENCE FOR MURDER OF MORRIS Ben Green, known as "Cocaine Ben,” the negro twice convicted of the mur der of Aaron Morris, a barber, today began serving a life term in the peni tentiary. On his first trial,' the negro was sentenced to hang, but in the sec ond trial last week the jury recom mended him to the mercy’ of the court, which saved him from the noose. Green was transferred today from the Tower to the Fulton county con vict camps. Throughout both of his trials. Green was represented by Attorney Thomas B. Brown, who based the negro's de fense on an alibi and worked hard to save him from the gallows. year contributed SI,OOO to the New York county committee. "Al! this work of mine," he said, “has been growing ever since mv boyhood and I have never had any thought of re ward These funds look large in the newspapers, but everything is relative. I remember one campaign which I waged to save the Palisade of the Hud son, in which I raised a million and a half dolla: s." In speaking of the publication of campaign receipts and expenditures, he 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.” This remark nettled Senator Oliver, who rebuked the witness and the re mark was withdrawn from the record. Questioned about the 1912 pre-con ventlon campaign. Perkins said: “I made contributions personally to the Roosevelt pre-convention fight as follows: "To the New York state committee, $15,000; to E. H. Hooker, treasurer i*f the national fund, $22,500; for work in connection with the office in Washing ton, $32,500; for taking polls in New’ York and Biooklyn, $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 different people here and they testify to contributions which are already included in the accounts of national 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 LIIER ANO FEET OFBOftSm' W OF FIGS” More effective than calomel, castor oil or salts; gently cleanses the stomach, liver and bowels without nausea or griping. Children dearly love it. You know’ when your liver Is bad, when your bowels are sluggish. You feel a certain dullness and depression, perhaps the approach of a headache, your stomach gets sour and full of gas, tongue coated, breath foul, or you have indigestion. You say, "I am bilious or constipated and I must take something tonight.” Most people shrink from a physic 'hex- think of castor oil, calomel, salts or cathartic pills. It's different with Syrup of Figs. Its “ffect is as that of fruit; of eating •cars' 1 food; of exercise. Take a tea spoonful of delicious Syrup of Figs to night and you won’t 'realize you have taken anything until morning, when all tile clogged up waste matter, sour bile and constipation poisons move on and out of your system, without gripe.

The coroner’s jury returned a verdict of suicide by drowning.

Two other soldiers in the same regi ment committed suicide several months ago. Raymond A. Snyder and Arthur Llewellyn ended their lives with car bolic acid. Thurman was but 24 years of age and had enlisted because of a desire to see the world.
