HE WAS SHOT

LEAVING

HIS HOTEL (Continued from Page One.) Chicago last Saturday, when he was the storm center of a wild multitude. Mr. Roosevelt finally raised his hand to stop the cheering, and as the crowd ceased, a voice cried: "Colonel, we sympathize with you!" Mr. Roosevelt gritted his teeth and shouted back: "Now, don't you worry; it's nothing at all!" The former President had in his pocket a carefully prepared speech which he had dictated on the train on his way to Milwaukee. Without any formality except to greet the crowd as "fellow citizens of Wisconsin," the Colonel pulled tha manuscript of his speech from his pocket. As he drew it out he found, for the first time, that the bullet had torn a round hole in the thick manuscript. It had gone into the fleshy part of the chest ajjd. had lodged there. Begins In Firm Voice. Colonel Roosevelt began to speak in a firm voice, somewhat lower than its usual tone, and except that his characteristic gestures were less emphatic than usual there was nothing about the man to indicate his condition. After he had been speaking a few moments, however, his voice sank somewhat, and he seemed to stand rather unsteadily. Dr. Terrell and Colonel Lyon stepped up to him and the doctor insister that he stop. "I am going to finish this speech," said the Colonel, emphatically. "I'm all right; let me alone," Dr. Terrell and Colonel Lyon sat down again. The colonel continued his speech evidently with increasing effort, but he succeeded in making himself heard, and talked for more than an hour. Asks Auditors To Be Quiet. "Friends," said the colonel in beginning his address, "I shall have tp ask you to be as quiet as possible. I do not know whether you fully understand that I have just been shot, but it takes more than that to kill a bull moose. "But, fortunately, I had my manuscript, so you see I was going to make a long speech. "And friends, the bullet is in me now,- so that I cannot make a very long speech. But I will try my best. "And now, friends, I want to take advantage of this incident to say as solemn word of warning as I. know how to my fellow Americans, f "First of all I want to say this about myself. I have altogether too many important thangs to think of to pay any heed or feel any concern over my own death. "Now, I would not speak to you insincerely within five minutes of being shot. "I am telling you the literal truth when I say that my concern is for many other things. It is not in the least for my own life. "I want you to understand that I am ; ahead of the game, anyway. No man has had a happier life than I have had. "Very Much Interested." "I have been able , to do certain things that I greatly wished to do, and I am interested in doing other things. I can tell you with absolute truthfulness that I am very much uninterested in whether I am shot or not. "It was just as when I was Colonel of my regiment. I always felt that a private was to be excused for feeling at times some pangs of anxiety about his personal safety, but I cannot understand a man fit to be Colonel who can pay heed to his personal safety when he is occupied as he ought to be occupied with the absorbing desire to do his duty. "I am in this cause with my whole heart and soul; I believe in the progressive movement a movement for the betterment of mankind, the move ment for making life a little easier for all our people, a movement to try to take the burdens off the man, and especially the women in this country, who is most oppressed. I am absorbed in the success of that movement. I feel uncommonly proud in belonging to that movement. Friends, I ask you now this evening to accept what I am saying as absolute truth when I tell you I am not thinking of. my own success, I am not thinking of my own life or of anything connected with me personally. Dr. Terrell had a suspicion all the time that the bullet had found its mark, but he had been balked by the Colonel so that he could not make certain. He sat in his chair, his face blanched, as Roosevelt launched into the speech. The audience, thoroughly alarmed over the colonel's plight, sat with bated breath as Roosevelt spoke. Places Hand Over Spot. When he pulled the manuscript out and saw the bullet mark, he quickly placed his hand over the tinged spot, -so the audience could not see it. Not until the speech was over did the crowd learn that the bullet had pierced the manuscript. Colonel Roosevelt talked for 15 minutes before he gave the slightest indication that he felt the effect of the bullet. Then a sudden tinge of pain made him clutch his right side. The audience was quick to observe it, and a protest ran through the hall for the Colonel to stop. Mr. Roosevelt frowned. "Now, this Is all a trival affair," he J cried. "Any one who knows me must realize that I wouldn't stop for a thing like this. I may have a right to feel sore with a bullet In me. But if you saw me in a battle leading my-regiment you would not want me to stop." Had No Need For Notes. Mr. Roosevelt strode to one end of the platform and then to the other, all

HAD TUBERCULOSIS OF GLANDS; NOW WELL If you are a sufferer from Glanujar Tuberculosis, or know of anyone so afflicted, it might be well to investigate this case, where the writer declares after a year of suffering, he found permanent relief and full recovery by using Eckman's Alterative, a medicine which has been effective in many cases of Tuberculosis: 257 Laruston st., Phila., Pa. "Gentlemen: In March, 1909, I was taken sick and my docor pronounced my case 'Tuberculosis in the Glands.' Medical treatment did not help me, and on my doctor's advice, I went to a hospital to be operated upon, but relief was only temporary. I lost strength and at times would have cold sweats and fever. In April, 1910, I returned to the hospital, but the continued operations were not benefiting me. "In the meantime, a friend of mine advised Eckman's Alterative, saying it was good for Tuberculosis. The wounds in my neck were still open and in frightful condition when I started to take it. After using two bottles, I found I was improving, having gained weight, could eat and was able to sleep. I continued using It until I was well, which was in November, 1910. Before I took the medicine I had three hemorages; since I have been taking it I have not had any. On November 11, 1910, I started to work, and since that time I have not lost one day's work through sickness. I can highly recommend Eckman's Alterative to anyone who is suffering from Tuberculosis or Gland trouble, providing they take it as directed. I will gladly correspond with any party desiring further information of what the medicine did for me." (Sworn affidavit) JOSEPH B. WHITE Eckman's Alterative is effective in Bronchitis, Asthma, Hay Fever, Throat and Lung Troubles and in upbuilding the system. Does not contain poisonous opiates or habit-form

(Advertisement) the time closely following the lines of his prepared speech. As his talk was mainly along lines he has pursued in previous speeches in the Middle West, he knew it well enough to keep from referring to his notes. ' He folded the manuscript into the folds of his coat, half hid it in his hands and tried by other devices to keep it out of sight of the audience. He didn't want the bullet hole to be in evidence. After Mr. Roosevelt had talked for half an hour, lambasting Senator La Follette for opposing .the Progressives in Wisconsin and attacking Governor Wilson for his stand on the trusts and labor, he ceased for a minute, to take a glass of water. 1 . This was taken by the. fcrowd-ta indicate that he was growing faint. In intense perturbation a woman in the audience arose and cried : . "Colonel Roosevelt, won't ypu please let the doctors look for the bullet? We can wait till they're through. We're afraid you are seriously hurt." Mr. Roosevelt gently put down the glass of water. Leaning over the platform, he exclaimed in soft, even tones: "Madame, you mustn't be alarmed, I am only slightly hurt and can easily go on." Smiles Amicably at End. The former president went on with his speech for half an hour longer. He curtailed his speech only a trifle. When he reached its conclusion Mr. Roosevelt smiled amicably, and, with a comprehensive gesture, said indulgently: "Now, my friends, I want to thank you for your forbearance. You have listened patiently to me. Thank you and good luck." A deafening round of cheers went up as the former President was escorted from the stage. The doctors advised him that they had already prepared with means to make an immediate examination of the wound at the emergency hospital. "Oh, do it here," urged the Colonel, as he started to sit in a chair. The doctors insisted that he ought to go to the hospital. "If you think it's that bad I'll go," said Roosevelt, cheerfully. The former President felt his coat and found that the bullet had scorched it on its way through. Underneath his vest was crimsoned. "Do you feel much pain?" asked Dr. Terrell, as he helped the Colonel into the waiting automobile. "Nothing to speak of," replied Roosevelt, with a show of nonchalance. The bullet undoubtedly is resting comfortably in the flesh somewhere. I know it didn't pierce the lung, as I haven't felt any trouble in speaking. It didn't get very deep." WASHINGTON SHOCKED. WASHINGTON, Oct. 15. News of the attack upon Col. Roosevelt's life came as a complete shock to Washington, official and ordinary.

reading bulletin boards and the crowds emerging from the theaters eagerly read newspaper extras. President Taft is in New York and few members of the Cabinet are in Washington. Secretary Knox and Secretary Fisher have just landed on the Pacific coast, one from Japan and one from Hawaii. Secretary Stimson, of the War Department, who was the colonel's candidate for Governor of New York in 1910 and one of his personal friends, was on his way to a speaking trip in New York state for President Taft. Secretary Nagel, too, was on Ms way to the West to speak in the president's campaign and Attorney General Wickersham was in New York. Secretary Meyer was In New York at the" naval review with President Taft. Deep Concern At White House. At the White House executive offices, among the attaches, many of whom were friends of the colonel during his term of office, the utmost anxiety was shown. The common response to the news that an attempt had been made on the colonel's life was: "I hope it won't be serious." When Col. Roosevelt was president he roamed about Washington and its environs in complete disregard of harm. Often he slipped away from the secret service guard which invariably followed him, and lost his protectors for hours. On such occasions he would turn up happily at the White House and the secret service men would come later, tramping in weary and bedraggled. Attacks Often Denied. It was the popular report that the colonel went armed and some of his friends said he had often declared any assassin who reached him would have to be quicker than he. During his administration the usual line of cranks who beset the White House and the executive offices were as active as

they have been during the administration of any other President, but from none of them was he ever in danger, as far as ever became publicly known. The secret service has a way of minimizing or completely denying stories of attacks or attempts on the lives of those whom it has to guard, on the theory that publication of one attempt upon the life of a public man usually induces more. Only recently the White House was publicly denying a report that an infernal machine had been sent to President Taft and had been intercepted in delivery by one of the White House secretaries. Senator Clapp Shocked. Senator Moses E. Clapp, of Minnesota, conceded by all to be one of Col. Roosevelt's friends in the senate, was shocked at the news. "It is most distressing," said the senator, who expressed relief at the further news that the colonel's wounds did not appear serious. "It cannot injure the cause, however, the movement will go ,on just the same," he said. Secretary MacVeagh of the treasury is in Chicago for a few days, registering for election. Lawrence O. Murray, controller of the currency, and one of the Roosevelt "tennis cabinet,' was informed just before midnight of the attack on the former President's life. "This is a terrible thing," said he. "I trust his injuries will not prove to be serious." Gifford Pinchot, former chief forester, was out of the city. Doctors Express Hope. Dr. J. J. Richardson, of this city, traveled with Col. Roosevelt through Michigan and other "states when he was President, six years ago. "He showed himself to be a fine specimen of physical manhood," said Dr. Richardson last night. "Aside from his throat affection he was in splendid condition, which helps him in Ihe present emergency. From what I can gather of the details of the wound it is not very serious." "I was talking with Col. Roosevelt during that trip about the ovations he had received and remarked to him that it must seem very strange to a man to receive demonstrations. Col. Roosevelt replied to me then: A11 this would turn my head but for the fact that I remember the fate of Dewey. These very men who now are so enthusiastic may a year from now be ready to crucify me." "The failure of the bullet to penetrate the lung means that everything will be all right for Col. Roosevelt's recovery," said Rear Admiral P. M. Rixey, retired U. S. N., who was surgeon general of the navy during the Roosevelt administration. Dr. Rixey was Col. Roosevelt's constant attendant at the White House. "That's favorable," he said, when told that the bullet only lodged in the chest wall. "Col. Roosevelt is one of those men who recover rapidly. His splendid physical condition minimizes the effect of the wound he received last night." MRS. ROOSEVELT CALM. NEW, YORK, Oct. 15. Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt was attending a musical comedy at a Broadway theater last night at the time the attempt was being made upon her husband's life in Milwaukee. The .news was broken to her as she sat in a box with a party of friends.

(Advertisement) made from the stage, and be an unnecessarily great shock to the colonel's wife, George W. Perkins, chairman of the executive committee of the Progressive party, who was among the first to receive the news, had dispatched a messenger to Mrs. Roosevelt. Although assurances were given in the first dispatches that the colonel had not been seriously wounded, Mrs. Roosevelt was alarmed and immediately left the theater, driving to the headquarters of the national progressive committee in the Hotel Manhattan. Here she waited anxiously further details from Milwaukee. Relieved by Bulletins. She was considerably relieved by the early bulletins, reporting that the colonel had been so slightly wounded that he was able to proceed with his speech. She was alarmed again later, however, when the wires told of the removal of the colonel to a hospital and doubt among his physicians as to the seriousness of the wound. Mrs. Roosevelt was not able to decide, as these reports came in, whether to depart for Milwaukee. As to how Mrs. Roosevelt had received the news, Mr. Perkins only, said: "Just as such a strong a woman as Mrs. Roosevelt would receive it." Taft Expresses Sorrow. President Taft and Governor Wilson were among others to be quickly advised of the attempted assassination of Col. Roosevelt. The President was at a banquet which the mayor of the city was giving last night to Mr. Taft and members of his cabinet, 600 naval officers and several distinguished citizens, when the news was communicated to him. It was evident that the report fell upon the President's ears as a great blow. He was talking with Mayor Gaynor at the time, and after hearing the news sat silent foB several minutes. He declined at first to make any statement, being apparently reluctant to credit the report. Later as the news was confirmed the President said to the newspaper men: "I am very sorry to learn of the assault upon Col. Roosevelt and I am Ladies' I 3 I

glad to learn that no harm was done." At the time the President made this statement bulletins from Milwaukee gave the assurance that Roosevelt had sustained practically no injury. Wilson Is Shockd. Th speakers at the dinner avoided reference to the reports, but the news had soon spread to all and there was so much discuaeion of the reports that little attention was given to the speakers. Governor Wilson was at his home in Princeton, N. J., when newspaper men advised him of the attempt to kill the Progressive candidate for President. "It is with the greatest distress that I hear this,' said Governor Wilson, "but I rejoice that Col. Roosevelt has apparently escaped serious injury." Col. Roosevelt's son, Theodore Roosevelt Jr., heard of the attack upon his father and hurried to Progressive headquarters to meet his mother and await details from Milwaukee.

MESSAGE OF SYMPATHY. CINCINNATI, O., Oct. 15. Frederick A. Geier, chairman of the National Prosperity League of the Republican party sent the following telegram to Col. Roosevelt from here. "We are very much shocked to learn of the attempt on your life. This must be deeply deplored by all citizens, irrespective of their political affiliations. We are certain that the people of this country desire that the issues in this campaign should be decided in all soberness, and that all citizens will join in righteous condemnation of this cowardly act. We sincerely trust that the injury will prove but slight and that you will be ablt to continue your campaign." MAY BE ALIAS. NASHVILLE, Tenn., Oct. 15. The assailant of Col. Roosevelt, who wrote notes on stationery of the Bismarck hotel here, never registered at that place under the name of Schwenck. The hotel has no writing room and stationery is procured only from the clerk, so it is believed Schwenck may have stayed at the hotel recently under another name. No one at the hotel remembers a man of his description. When you have a bad cold you want the best medicine obtainable so as to cure it with as little delay as possible.

FADS AND FASHIONS

The combination of velvet coat and satin or cloth skirt is a prime favorite and is repeated over and over again wherever French models are in Tiew; but one cannot grow weary of the theme because there are so many variations in the velvets themselves and in the shape and details of , the costumes. Anything that is attractive and becoming seems permissible, though as a general thing the coats of the imported costumes are considerably longer than they have been in the last two seasons. Sometimes they are short or sharply cutaway In the front but the back is likely to run down to half length, at least, and in many cases it falls much lower on the skirt. Where cutaway lines of a radical sort are unbecoming, it is easy to find a substitute for them. The coat which falls straight In front is seen on many of the smartest models and thucoat buttoning down past the hip curve before the fronts curve away is well liked. Then there is the coat which buttons high with one or two fastenings, is open across a high waist line in front and falls at each side of the front in straight or slightly curved lines. This is a becoming model for many mho cannot wear the radical cutaway and several of the noted French tailors have done well with models o fthis sort. The collar of the dressy coat costume is Immensely important this fall and assumes many odd and unusual forms. The high, turndown or standing collar an dthe rolling collar more or less low In -front are the versions most generally accepted. Fancy velvet coats with plain tone cloth or silk skirts are In many cases very attractive, and the materials of the season offer a wide range for such effects. The cut velvets, finely striped velvets on chiffon or Boft silk foundations, embossed velvets, corded velvets, etc., are all available and are
