Theodore - Roosevelt, his family with him, and satisfied as to his condition, today rests with greater | ease than at any time since the! hand of John Schrank was lifted| against life in Milwaukee Monday night. Physicians, examining his wound today and making a complete; clinical examination, found his . pulse, respiration and temperature so nearly at normai that concern over his condition vanished and the .extremely conservative con- duct gave way to a desire to es- tablish public assurance that no complications now were looked for to stand in the way of rapid recovery. Mrs. Roosevelt, Miss Ethel and Theodore, jr., arrived early in the day and went at once to his apart- ment, with Mrs. Alice Longworth and Dr. Alexander Lambert, the family physician in New York. “Hello!” shouted the colonel gayly when Mrs. Roosevelt ap- peared in the doorway. When the other members of his family appeared the same cheery greeting met them at the door- way, and he asked them to draw up chairs to his bedside and “gos- sip” with him. Eats Hearty Breakfast. The colonel ate his usual hearty Wreakfast, and before the urrival of his fainily appeared anxious that his room be tidied up to a point where he felt it would meet the approval of the critical eye of Mrs. Roosevelt, whom he proudly described as a good house- keeper. i “I don't want to be scolded for care- |s0, temperature 98.8, and that his pulse at {6 o'clock this morn'ng and his temperature 98.6 and respiration 2); t he is having less irritation of his pleura | from injured rib than he did yester- day; that he did not have to have an anodyne for the pain.

Mrs. Roosevelt was pleased at the ar- rangements for her and told the attend- ants so. She talked gayly and after the first tive minutes there was no air of con- cern about any of the family.

BEMOCRATS ALSO EMPHATIC| { Taft Men Willing to Abstain From; Personalities While Third Termers Refrain, BY N. 0. MESSENGER. CHICAGO, IIL, October 16.—Senator| Dixon, chairman of the third party’s na-| tional committee, has stirred up.a hor-| net's nest by his statement of yesterday | charging the shooting of Col. Roosevelt | to the political attacks that have been, |made upon him. The statement was} wired west and was read with indigna- tion at both democratic and republican | eadquarters, | “Dixon cannot say tuat and get away with it,” was the ejaculation at republic- an headquarters and the publicity bureau immediately got busy. Director Mulvane of western headquarters assumed the re- sponsibility of answering Senator Dixon, and issued the following statement: | “It 1s to be regarded as extremely un-| fortunate that at this time, when the: entire country deplores the assault upon |. Col. Roosevelt, and wen it is, all the more important that nothing should be| done to still further inflame the public: mind, Senator Dixon, the manager of the! third party, should deem it proper to give utterance ‘to extravagant, intemperate | and absolutely untrue statements. Quotes From Dixon Statement. “In an interview, given widespread pub- licity this morning, Senator Dixon takes | occasion to assert that the enemies of Mr. | Roosevelt, in public utterance and private| speech, have combined to assassinate Mr. ! Roosevelt's public and private character, | and adds that their violent and intem-{ perate assaults upon him are directly re-} spons.ble tor the murderous at.ack upon| i fore M tum in Milwaukee. “Senator Dixon and the American peo- ple know that this is untrue. It is in .t- self violent and intemperate language which has no tounaat.on in fact. The ev.dence shows that the halr-witted man Wno ared tne shot has been for e.even years the victim of a homicidal mania aga-nst the third-term candiaate. Noth- sng said or done in this campaien by any Opponent of the man whom Senator Dixon eulogizes has been the insp.rat.on of the aepwravle act of an insane man.” Democrauic heaaquarters issued the’ fol- lowing statement: ‘sn common with the otner. memoers of the democrat.c natloya: committee, Iv was deeply. distressed’ to learn of the murderous attack on former President Roosévelt at Milwaukee. 1 am ery sure; every one, regandiess of politics, will join in cofigratuating Mr. Roosevelt upon his fortunate escape from more ser.ous injury than he received. It is one of those unfortunate incidents that might happen at any time to any man of Prominence at elec..on time. It has been my belief for years that candidates for the presidency shouid be guarded just the same as Presidents are protected from the possible attacks of maniacs. Classed as “Demagoguery.” “My attention has just been called to the statement of Joseph M. Dixon, Roose- velt’s manager, in which he charges the attempted assassination of the colonel to the political attacks made upon him. This! charge appears to have been made be-| Dixon even had an opportunity” of knowing by whom the shot was fired | or what the motive might have been. “Demagoguery of this kind is almost as reprehensible as the attempted assassi- naton itself, for it is mamfest that the tactics of Mr. Dixon are such that he would even attempt to use this very un- fortunate affair to make votes for his candidate, regardless of whether there might be a semtilla of justification for such charges or not. “L smeerely regret to learn that the election of a President of the United States will be sought by such reprehen- ble methods.”” Willing to Declare Truce. From now on there will be cessation of personal criticism of Col. Rooseve't by republican speakers unless the third term talkers keep up their attacks upon Pres- ident Taft and the course of the national commuttee and convention, Much ‘iosity is felt as to the ‘‘mes- sage” lor Beveridge is to deiiver in behalf of Col. Roosevelt in his speech at Lousville. That speech will probab.y govern the policy ef the republican ora- sors. That is to say, if Senater Bever- dge uses vituperation against the Presi- went, he can look for retasiation from tne sepublicans, Everybody in the republican organiza- «un deplores the assault upon the colonel nd is wiling to let him alone if he will let them alone. But it will have to work both ways or not at all. They are in a fight and do not propose to let mistaken ideas of sentiment run away with them. The republican managers have on theit desks a cop ef the statement which was put out by Col. Roosevelt, on the very might he shot, for publication the . ‘It was an attack upon Chairman Hilles in words of 1 most outrageous character. le Col. Roosevelt was addressing his Milwaukee audience and saying that he would disavow personal attacks by his friends upon.men of the other party that statement, was on the wires, It was recalled after Roosevelt's Milwaukee speech Nothing that the co.onel has ever sad about anybody was so harsh as the words he used in that statement directed against Chairman Hill Cabinet Officers on the Stump.

Italy and Turkey at Peace. CONSTANTINOPLE, October 16.—(By wireless telegraph to Kustendje Roumania’ —The conclusion of peace between Italy and Turkey was fully anticipated by ti Ottoman government, although the news did not reach here until 4 o'clock this morning and it is still unknown to the public generally. In the meantime the ministry of marine was taking active steps to prepare the Turkish ficet to take part in the cam- paign against the Balkan states. Three battleships and two cruisers which had been bottled up by Italian squadrons have now been sta‘foned at the mouth of the Black sea in order to escort an army of invasion to the Bulgarian coast. Ths movement of the Turkish forces will compel the Bulgarian military com- manders to divert part of their army from the main attack on Turkey in Macedonia. Bridges Are Destroyed. Notwithstanding the most elaborate pre- cautions taken by the Turkish troops Bulgarian bands have succeeded in de- stroying some important bridges near Istip and Kotschana, so that communica- tion with Soutari is completely inter- rupted and the news from the Montene- grin frontier is very meager. The Ottoman government has solved the problem of the employment of Chris- tian soldiers in the Turkish army by usng them in the garrisons of Asia Minor and also partly in Constantinople.

ROME, October, 16.—The Italian press today is elated over the signature of peace with Turkey at Ouchy, and hails it generally as the crowning of the Italian yictories on the battlefields in Tripoll. The newspapers declare that Turkey receded only after Italy had sent her ul- timatum fixing a mit of time for the negotiations, and they say that the peace treaty proves in accord with and completely safeguards Italian rights and dignity. They conclude that the general satisfaction of Italy is assured at the acquisition of a vast African colony which can be easily defenaed, as it Mes on the Mediterranean, os Freeman Again in Toil: Special Dispatch to The Star.
