Not before Friday, if all goes well, will the physicians be prepared to say that their patient is out of danger. The intervening period will be required to determine whether blood poisoning or other complications are to be feared. Four or Five Days of Uncertainty. Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., after a talk with his father and a consultation with the physicians, expressed the feelings of those about the ex-president today. “It will be four or five dyl," said Re, “before we can breathe“easily.” Colonel Shows Little Concern. Colonel Roosgvelt spent a quiet and apparently carefrpe day, seeming the! least concerned of all. He was cheer. ed by the appearance of Mrs. Rogse- velt, who arrived early in the dayot%m New York, and remained with him constantly.

She received the cards and messages for her husband sent back her replies, with the result that the colonel himself did not know who ‘wished to see him.. Further Campaign Work Unlikely. ‘The impression grew today that Col- onel Roosevelt would be able to do lit- tle or nothing more in’ the campaign. Although he expressed. the hope of leaving for Oyster Bay on Sunday, it is probable he would be compelled to remain in the hospital for at least a week longer and that after his arrival at home he will not be permitted to plungeinto the campaign agaln.

His face has not lost its color, and as he sat moved about easlly and apparently was free from pain. As he talked he used his characteristic gestures, although .per- haps with less vigor than usual with him, and at times his laugh could be heard in tHe eorridor outside.

Three Alienists Engaged to Decide as to Schrank’s Sanity. Milwaukee, Wis., Oct. 16—All fear that .the bullet with which Col. Roose- velt was shot might have been inoc- ulated with poison was dispelled to- day when Professor R. E. W. Sommer, analytical chemist notified District At- terney Zabel that no traces of poison were found by him in the empty shell and upon the other bullets in the pis- tol with which John Schrank shot €Cel. Roosevelt Monday night. A solution made by Prof. Sommers from scraping from the bullets and the empty shell was inoculated into guinea pigs, but no traces of poison were found. To satisfy himself of the menta) condition of the would-be assassin and as the first step in the preparation of his case, District Attorney Zabel has engaged the services of three alienists to examine Schrank. -1 tis understood that each alienist will make his ins dividual examinatior of Schrank and then compare notes.

Waterbury, Conn., Oct. ’~ 16—Fully 1,500 people heard the debate here this evening between Congressman'E. J. Hill of this state and Congressman Oscar W, Underwood of Alabama, and the big majority of them remainec un- til the finish which came /after tvo hours and a half of earnest arsument. Mayor Reeves Presided. Mayor Francis T. Reeves presided and introduced the debaters, after an- nouncing the rules agreed upen by the two congressmen to the effect that Mr, Hill was to open with an Iddreu of one hour’s length. Mr. Unflerwocd to follow one hour and a quarter and Mr. Hill to conclude- with fiftecn min- utes. Hill Attacks Democratic Tariff Pro- gramme. As expected the tariff was the chief topic of discussion. Mr. Hill after at- tacking the democratic caucus rule making the will of two thirds of the members binding, discussed the dem- ocratic programme of variff revision and its’ probable effect on New Eng- land industries, claiming that with a dempcratic majority made up chiefly of coutherners séctional [favoritism would be in evidence to the advantage of the south and to the injury of New England. He quoted from speeches of prominent democrats, including Mr. Underwood and Woodrow Wilson, to the effect that the programme was really one of free trade. Democrats Applaud Hill. While it was a democratic rally and the majority of those present were democrats, there were practically uo interruptions and Mr. fill was fre- quently applauded. Mr! Upderwood was often forced to pause until applause subsided. He caused a general laugh Ly referring tu Mr. Hill as “my distinguished friend, a type of republican statcsmanship that is passing away.” Underwood Argues For Tariff For Revenue Only. Mr. Underwood explained the tariff measures passed by the last house and .spent considerable time replying to Mr. Hill's argument that sectionalism would determine legislation, citing from bills proposed by him to prove the point.

Milwaukee, Wis, Oct. 16.—John Schrank spent most of today writing, but so far nothing he has written has been made public. Sheriff Arnold says Schrank has not attempted to pass anything that has been written out of his cell. Until he does this the sheriff will not avall himself of the privilege of scrutininzing any written communicaltions. The letters found on Schrank after he had shot Colonel Roosevelt indicate, alfenists say, paranofa. Schrank had evolved a way io car- ry his revolver so thait it would be at all times easy to get at and at the same time be out of sight. He cut a hole in his lower vest pocket on, the ! left side. Through this hoie he pushed | the barrel of the revolver, allowing it to extend down between his trousers and body, so that only the handle was in the vest pocket. In this manner it was not visible and was obtainable| at once: Schrank says he carried the revolver in this manner for days. , Wants to Be Let Alone. Séhrank wants to be let alone.

Louisville, Ky. Oct. 16.—Albert 'J. Beveridge, former senator from Indi- ana, brought to Kentucky tonight Col- onel Roosevelt's message to the na- tion, dictated from the patient's sick bed at Mercy hospital at Chicago. “Tt matters little about me,” Colonel Roosevelt told Mr. Beveridge, “but it matters all_about the cause we fight for. ‘Tf one the flag is stricken, another will take it from his hands and carry it on. “You know that personally I did not want ever to be a candidate for of- fice again,” the message from stricken ex-president continued, “ and you know that only the call that came to the me nof the sixties made me an- swer it in our day as they did more nobly in their day.” Colonel Roosevelt was scheduled to speak in Loulsville tonight. After having been shot down in Milwaukee he cancelled all his engagements but insisted that the address he was to have made In Louisville be delivered. He called on Senator Beveridge to speak in his stead. “And.now, as then, it is not import- ant whether one leader lives or dies” continues the message, “it is import- ant only that the cause shall live and win. Tell the people not to worry about me: for if I go down another will take my place. ¥or always the army -is there; always.the cause is there, 'and it is the cause for which thi eople care; it is the people’s s e es:amep“’ i3 FIVE INJURED IN ' Senator Beveridge said: ‘This is his message to all his countrymen.

Bttor, while conducting the textile strike in Lawrence last winter, on which the commionwealth partly bases its charges that he was an accessory before the fact in the shooting of An- na Lopizzo, were repeated by witnesses for the prosecution .at the trial of Etter and his two associates of the Indus- trial Workers of the World today.

Another newspaperman, Joseph P. Toye, repeated ‘several statements which he credited to Bttor. In ome instance, affer there had been.a riot, Ettor sald, according to the witnesses: “I was not surprised.to learn happened Friday, but I'am surpr! that that was all that happened.” On another occasion, witness sald, the defendant Ettor remarked: . “If the libenses to carry arms which have been granted to ‘scabs’ In the mills are not revoked, we will the shops busy selling us guns. get one myself.” The latter part of this remark was made in an aside to the newspaj present, Toye said.

Is Not Confirmed—Montenegrins Cap- ture Another Turkish Position, London, Oct. 16.—The Balkan fight- ing remains limited to the Montene- grin border, and although the relations of Turkey with the other alllied states are virtually broken, there is' curious indisposition on the pam of Bulgaria ' and Servia‘to take a final place in the hostilities. F This hesitation i8 regarded in dip- lomatic pointing to the possibility that the powers may succeed in lessening she extent of the war. It'is understood that most of the powers have accept- ed in principle the suggestion of the French premier for a European con- ference, but nothing has been decided upon as to when the conference will meet or what it's programme will be. The fact that Italy is now free te enter the confes will preatly strengthen the Ful n concert and is calculated to make the Balkan states more 'amenable to BEuropean pressure, The future status of Crete under the new conditions which it -ls reported will be virtual annexation by Greece, is now engaging the attentiom of the powers. The rumor that Bulgaria has metual~ ly declared war has not been confirm- ed. The Montenegrins, after hard fighting, havé captured Berdna, but & is reported thet there will 2 pauss in the operations around Un~ doubteedly this is due to the Montean- grins realizing that they have paid tos dearly for their successes in heavy loss of life. King Nicholas accordingly has issued a proclamation urging his solfers to restrain their impetuosity and adopkt themselves to modern conditions of warfare. ! Severe Battle at Berana.
