New York, Jyly L--Theodore Roose- t in all probability will not be. to give up -his campaign this 4 n]iincoum of his physical con- o report he has yet had. The physi- | that if the colonel would rest “the next six weeks and that t -attacks. of fever could be controlled he probably would be in ®ms good voice as ever. Colonel Roose- “welt was delighted at the = doctor's ‘opinion. After his visit to the physi- ecian he was more like his former self then at any previous time since his return from South America. He walk. ed and talked more vigorously and his old mannerisms of voice and gesture returned. The expectation that he would be in good fighting trim before the campaign is in fiyjl swing at once caused a revival of efforts to ‘induce him to accept the progressive nom- ination for govermor of New York. Events that followed his visit to the specialist, Dr. H. Holbrook Curtis, to- day gave color to Yeports that he was seriously considering the proposal that he head the progressive state ticket. Members of a delegation which cailed on him t& urge him to.aceept the nomination said@ he had told them he would give the matter serious con- sideration, SENTENCE OF 15 YEARS FOR A BLACKMAILING NEGRO Had Threatened to Blow Up Steam- ship Unless Given $10,000. — New York, July 1.—Joseph Burton, the negro who was recently captured in a spectacular attempt to blackmail the Cunard Steamship company, was gdny sentenced to 15 year in Sing ing prion.
