TAKE ANOTHER X RAY
Surgeons Disagree on Splin

TO KNOW WORST TOMORROW.
By That Time It Will Be Determined
Whether There Is Danger of Blood
Poisoning Martin Tells a Graphic
Story of Capturing Assassin.
Chicago, Oct. 17. Colonel Roosevelt
has had such steady gain in the last
twenty-four hours that the attending
surgeons were more hopeful early to
day for his ultimate recovery than they
have been at any time since he was
shot in Milwaukee.
The last official bulletin of the night
was:
"The records show the pulse to be
84, temperature 98.6, respiration 20.
General condition good. Patient cheer
ful and resting easily.
"MURPHY, DEVAN AND TYRELL."
The surgeons announced that no fur
ther bulletins would be issued.
In an examination made at Mercy
hospital shortly before midnight the
pulse and respiration were shown to be
nearly normal, the condition good and
the patient cheerful and resting well.
That the surgeons themselves feel
more hopeful is best evidenced by the
admissions in a bit of repartee while
the colonel was being examined. As
he was being rolled over the colonel
exclaimed with a grin:
"I move with greater agility than I
have for a couple of days."
"We lire all breathing more easier,
too," cauie the quick reply from Dr. J.
B. Murphy. The olllclnl bulletin after
the examination showed the pulse to
be Si, temperature OS.O, respiration "0.
Unless complications appear Colonel
Roosevelt will be removed to Oyster
Bay Saturday evening. This was de
cided upon at a conference between the
Burgeons and the Roosevelt family yes
terday afternoon.
After making public the result of the
examination Dr. Murphy said be saw
no reason for remaining at tbe hospital
overnight and that be would not re
turn until morning. Every indication
pointed, be said, that the patient would
rest easily throughout the night
Dr. T. A. Kreuscber of the hospital
staff, who was detailed to watch tbe
condition of tbe patient during tbe
night, said, after the chief surgeon bad
gone:
"Colonel Roosevelt's condition shows
remarkable improvement since he came
here yesterday, lie is a different man
entirely. His color is coming back and
he is more vigorous. The colonel Just
told me that he bad bad a splendid
day.
"1 think Dr. Murphy is much pleased
with my improved condition,' was the
way the colonel put it."
Mrs. Roosevelt spent the entire even
ing reading to the colonel up to the
time Dr. Murphy came. She then bid
tbe colonel good night and retired.
When Dr. Kreuscber and Miss Fitz
gerald, tbe nurse, had made the colonel
comfortable for the night tbe patient
expressed concern for tbe health of tbe
nurse and advised her to go to sleep
lie told her hu would call her if be
needed bet. The colonel then switched
on the reading lamp and said that as
he did not ieel sleepy he would while
away the time with his books.
The nur&e had only been gone a few
minutes, however, when she received a
call from the colonel. The patient npol
ogetically bald that the hospital night
shirt was not comfortable and request
ed her to get his pajamas. Tbu request
was granted, and then she retired a
secoud time.
Worst Known on Friday.
The surgeons received the result ot
the last X ray examination in the
afternoon. Tbu picture shows tbe bul
let lodged up against tbe fourth rib.
It could not bo determined by the
doctors In this picture whether the
rib had !ccu splintered or not. in
fact, there was a division of opinion
of the medical men In this particular.
The surgeons also expressed the be
lief that Friday will settle definitely
whether the bullet tired by Schrank
will cause trouble. If there are no
symptoms of blood poisoning by that
time the surgeons believe that nature
will segregate the bullet from tbe ad
Joining tissues and that there will be
no danger of blood polboulug.
It was evident that in all probabil
ity tbe bullet will never bo extracted.
How the Colonel Spent Yesterday.
From midnight the colonel had slept
aud read Macauley'a essays alternate
ly. A few mluutes after 7 o'clock the
nurse took a clinical record of Ijls con
dition which showed a normal tem
perature of 08.0, pulse 74, a drop of
eighteen beats during the night, and
respiration 18. With this detail out of
lie way the colonel called for his

night In an adjoining room, came in.
looked the patient over, suggested that
he take a sponge bath aud chatted
with him.
Mrs. Roosevelt Miss Ethel and
Theodore, Jr., on their arrival were
met at the Englewood station by Mrs.
Alice Longworth and Mrs. Medlll Mc
Cormlck. Mrs. Hoosevelt was the first
to alight and as she stepped rapidly off
tbe train, assisted by Dr. Alexander
Lambert, the Roosevelt family physi
cian, who has accompanied the party
from New York, Mrs. Longworth
lushed forward, embraced and reas
sured her there was nothing to worry
about.
"I am so relieved," she exclaimed.
"I feared that they were keeping
something back from me as to his real
condition. Now I know thoro Is no
danger. His being taken to a hospital
after the first reassuring messago was
disconcerting."
When Mrs. Itoosovelt reached the
hospital the colonel greeted his wife
with a gay "Hello."
After greeting the children the
colonel again reassured the wholo fam
ily by having read the last of tho bul
letins of tbe surgeons. The husband
and father attempted to tell the fam
ily Just "how it happened," but a
warning came through the doorway
from one of the doctors that tho
patient must not exclto himself un
necessarily and the talk was limited
to family circle happenings.
With the exception of Mrs. Itooso
velt, the members of the family left
the hospital shortly after tho noon
hour. They will stay with friends in
the Immediate vicinity of the hospital.
Mrs. ltoosevelt took luncheon with the
colonel.
Asks For Books to Read.
During the early nfternoon Dr. Lam
bert, Dr. W. A. Evans, former health
commissioner of Chicago, and Dr.
Woods Hutchinson called on tho colo
nel. After a few minutes' chat tho pa
tient expressed a wish for some books
to read, telling Dr. Lambert to get
some volumes on nature study, "that 1
can learn something from them with
out knowing that I am studying or
making an effort"
Drs. Lambert and Evans immediately
departed for the downtown district re
turning In about two hours with sev
eral volumes of nature study, travel
aud fiction. This supply was augment
ed by the arrival at the hospital of a
box of books from "two women ad
mirers" during the ufternoon.
Other visitors were Father E. J. Vntt
man and Colonel Cecil Lyon. "I talked
with the colonel for live minutes." Bald
Colonel Lyon. "During that time we
talked of everything under the sun.
He's all right, all right."
Colonel Lyon hinted that Colonel
Hoosevelt expected to bo back in the
campaign at the end of two weeks.
"When a man becomes president of the
United States does bo thereby 'cinch"
the position of head of bis family)"
queried one visitor, with a mischievous
glance at Mrs. ltoosevelt.
"No," was tbe colonel's quick retort,
"not by a long shot."
Tho colonel's son-in-law, Nicholas
Longworth. was another early after
noon visitor. He remained only a few
minutes. Ills cousin, I'billp Hoosevelt,
also called.
In the middle of the afternoon an X
ray photograph of the colonel's side
was taken to ascertain, if possible, tho
exact location of the bullet Tho colo
nel dropped off to sleep afterward aud
slept for more than an hour. On awak
ening he made several corrections In
tbe manuscript of tho speech of Albert
J. Ueveridge at Louisville.

ber. Bullets' Not Poisoned.
Milwaukee. Wis., Oct. 1". One great
ciium: of anxiety was removed for the
physicians who are caring for Colonel
Hoosevelt when It was learned posi
tively that .hilin Schrank, hi? assail
ant, had not poisoned tbe bullets with
which he fired at the colonel. This
was learned in the report of Dean 13.
W. Sonuner of Marquette university's
medical department to Judgo N. J.
Neelan. the district court Judge who
ordered a chemical examination of the
bullets in Schrank's gun.
The report of Professor Soratner was
easily the chief development of tho
day In Milwaukee. Schrank's day was
quiet but tho authorities are prepar
ing to make a secret study of htm by
alienists, to make certain that the
state will win on the issue of Insanity,
If this were to be brought In as de
fense. "They have taken thirty pictures of
tnc since tho shooting and I have told
the newspaper men all that I ever
kuew, so do not let any one lu to see
me," said Schrank to Sheriff Arnold
when a reporter tried to get an inter
view with him.
Schrank has not selected a lawyer
to represent him in tho trial. When
asked about It he said that ho would
think about one and when the time
came he might have one selected. The
prisoner slept well Tuesday night and
was good naturod yesterday when his
breakfast was brought to him. He
drank a cup of coffee and ate some
bread and molasses.
"Ho is a fine prisoner," said Jailer
Roth, who is one of tbe oldest Jailers
In the country. "He is pleasant."
Roosevelt Savod 8chrank.
Chicago, Oct. 17. That Colonel
Roosevelt with the assassin's bullet in
his body, saved tbe man who tried to
murder him from being choked to death
right there aud then, is the statement
of Elbert E. Martin, tbe colonel's ste
nographer, tvbo threw himself on top
of Schrunk in tbe hope of catching the
bullet.
"I would have killed him," said Mar
tin, "if the colonel hadn't called to me
to stop and bring the man to him."
And every man who heard Martin
make that statement and noted his
husky physique believed him.
"It is a mistake," said Martin, "to
say that I Jumped for the assassin aft
er tho shot was fired. I saw tbe man
raise the gun as I was putting my foot
on the step of the automobile. How
quickly tbe whole thing was done 1
suppose I never will be able to tell.
but us tho thought went through my
mind tbut it was really a revolver In
the man's band I threw myself into the
air toward the man, who was about
five feet nway, pushing off from the
auto to got a sort of springboard effect.
As far as I can recollect thero were
two things in my mind. A man thinks
as fast as I thought then only once In
his life.
"My first thought It's funny to speak
of having first thoughts under these
circumstances was, if possible, to
reach tho man and bear down on him
before ho fired. My second thought
was to take tho bullet myself If he
fired before I reached him.
"He fired whilo I was in tho air
that's Just about what happened, for It
couldn't have been more than half a
second from the time when I, seeing
the gun, leaped to the time I landed on
him and we went down to the pave
ment together.
"My arm, from old wrestling practice
any wrestler will tell you It's a natu
ral thing to do went around his neck
in half Nelson. As we struck the pave
ment ho tried to slip tho gun in be
tween us, and I knew that meant that
he lutended to shoot me.
"I got my left hand to tho muzzle of
the gun us a first precaution, turned It
in on hint and then broke his hold.
With the gun in my left hand and my
half Nelson backed by a strength that
I never realized that I had, I com
monccd to force his head back to break
his neck. If Colonel Roosevelt hadn't
stopped me I would have killed him."
Roosevelt's Message to Party.
Louisville. Ky., Oct 17. Followln
Is tho message dictated by Colonel
Roosevelt to his party and delivered
by Senator Ueveridge to an audience
In Louisville, Ky., last night:
"It matters little about me, but it
matters ull about the causo we light
for. If one soldier who happens to
carry the flag Is stricken another will
take it from ills hands and carry it on.
One after another tho standard bearers
may bo laid low, but the standard It
self can never fall. You know that
personally 1 did not want ever to be
a candidate for olllco ngalu. And you
know that only tho call that came to
the men of tho sixties made me answer
it in our day as they did more nobly
In their day. And now, as then, It Is
not important whether one leader lives
or dies. It Is important only that the
cause shall live aud win. Tell the
people not to worry about me, for If
I go down another will take my place.
For alwaya tho unny Is true. Always
the cause Is there, and it Is tho cause
for which the peoplo care, for It Is the
Joule's cause."
