lirlstllng front from the outset the
Hants this afternoon knocked the prop
from under the American League cham

irom a running start. With a feast of
base hits and a flow of runs, which em
traced another stampede to the plate
In the first Inning one more run than
was made In the first Inning on Mon
day, the Giants battled their way Irre
ulstlbly to even terms with tl(e Red

The Giants' sweeping triumph this

Murdiir trials are not supposed to be
humorous uffairs and Justices bend sovere

Scheppa somehow dissipated tho gravity

some of tho jurors laughed outright.
Hchepps was so pleased with himself,
so proud of his skill in coping witli John
F. Mclntyre, his inquisitor: so naivo in
his appeals to Justice ClolY, so pugnacious
and alert that his listeners were in hinilea
most of the time, llu took it for granted
that tho court appreciated him ut his

Rut the amusing characteristics of the

Resisting every device of Mr. Mclntyre
to trap him into admitting he was an

and insisting that ho was kept in the dark
and used only us an errand boy by Itoso

SYMPATHY FROM MRS. WILSON.
Wife of Democratic Candidate Sends
Meaaagr lo Mra. House ell.
PntNCBTON, N. J., Oct. 15. Mrs. Wil
son, wife of the Democratic candidate
for President, sent the following tele
gram to-night to tho wife ot Col. Roose
velt, addressed to her at the Mercy Hos
pital, Chicago:
"My heartfelt sympathy In your anx
iety and distress. Mr. Wilson and I
have been shocked beyond expression
and await each Item ot news with deep
solicitude.
"Mns.. Woodrow Wilson."
The thought of his own safety did
not enter the mind of Gov. Wilson until
onn of the newspaper men to-night
asked him If he had taken any precau
tions for his protection during the re
mainder ot the campaign. He said he
has not and would not.
"There Is nothing that ran be done
to guard against an attack," he said.
"It seems to me that the police and
spcret service guards are useless It a
madman determines to attack a man In
public life."
The Govprnor apparently had read
the newspaper reports of the shooting
of Col. Roosevelt very closely, for he
discussed to-night the location of the
bullet, Its course nfter entering the
Colonel's body and varUus other details.
WILSON SEES THROAT DOCTOR.

PHILADELPHIA, Oot. 15. Got. Woodrow
Wilson arrived here late this afternoon
to consult a specialist regarding his
throat. At the Broad Street Station
he said his tiiroat had been troubling
him severely for the last few days, and
lie thought that it was best to have his
specialist treat the condition before
it became serious.
"I do not anticipate that anything is
wrong," he suld smilingly, "but I do not
want Jo bo comiolled to lay off now, near
the wiudup of the campaign. I have been
troubled recently more than usual and
my physlciun lias advised me not to use
my voice more than necessary. I shall
return to Trenton later in tho evening
after I have met some friends in this
city who wish to see mo about the cam

BUT NOT
DR. MURPHY'S REPORT ON ROOSEVELT'S CONDITION
TELEPHONED TO "THE SUN."
Dr. J. B. Murphy, chief of the physicians in attendance on
Col. Roosevelt at Mercy Hospital, Chicago, dictated the fol
lowing statement over the telephone to THE SUN at 10 o'clock
last night:
"Col. Roosevelt spent a very comfortable day. He suffered
less to-night and his breathing was not so painful.
"There is no evidence of complications. '
"A preventive injection of anti-tetanus serum was ad
ministered to-night, thus lessening the likelihood of lockjaw.
The leucocyte count is .88, showing that no blood poisoning is
present at this time.
"His superb physical condition, due to his outdoor exercise
and habitual abstinence from liquor and tobacco as well m his
simplicity of diet, accounts for the small effect produced on him
during his long speech while suffering from such a severe wound.
"The bullet has not dropped down, but is still in the wall
of the chest. His breathing appears to be getting easier all the
time."

The Presidential campaign came al
most to a halt yesterday because of
Col. Roosevelt's forced retirement from
active participation.
At Progressive national headquarters
In this city It was announced that up
to 'October 26 at least Col. Roosevelt'a
peaking engagements were cancelled.
Further than that no campaign .work

whero Senator Dixon nnd Executive
Chairman George W. Porklns have of
fices, or at State and county head-
quarters, where Wlllnm H. Hotchklss
presides.
Gov. Wilson announced that he would
cancel all tho dates possible and make
no more engagements for speeches In
the campaign with no active opponent
to speak against him.
Republican Congressional Chairman
Mclnlcy In the West has ordered to
night's meeting of JohnM. Hurlan and .1.
Adam Bede at Champaign. 111., post
poned Indefinitely. These two speakers
I trailed Col. lloosevelt on his trips, and
tt,elr arguments aro directed specifically
against the Progressive's platform and
candidate. Their meeting In the Audi
torium In Milwaukee last night was
called off by the Wisconsin committee
chairman.
Senator La Follelta's speaking tour

In Ohio and Indiana, where col.
lloosevelt and ex-Senator Deverldgo
were to play principal parts in ino
campnlgn this week, the State man
agers yesterday admitted thai they
didn't know what they would do. All
campaign plans were In abeyance, they
said.
Gov, Hiram Johnson In Pittsburg last
night admitted that he didn't kn.iw
what his future movements In the cam
paign will be.
All of Col, Roosevelt's campaign en
gagements have been cancelled up to
October 20. Oathat day he waB scheduled
to speak In Madison Square Garden at the
biggest Indoor meeting of the year. Ho
till hopes to be there and his party com
rades hero believe that he will be.
Col. Roosevelt was also to devote three
dayB, the Thursday, Friday and Saturday
lief ore election, to a final tour of the State
topped off by a rapid series of speeches
in this city on Saturday night. In all
about forty speeches wero on the pro
gramme prepared at State and county
headquarters.
Whether tho candidate wjll lie able to
make these forty appearances or any of
them Bute Chairman Hotchklss does not,
know. It waa suggested to Mr. Hotchklsa
yesterday that if the Colonel should not
lie able to resume his campaign gait
by the end or the month he might at least
be well enough to appear on tho platform
In most of the towns of this State that are
expecting him and have some other
Progressive read nts speecnes lor nun.
Mr. Hotchklss asked all his county
chairmen to have their meetings opened
with prayer for Col. lloosevelt 's recovery.
He also requested that at each meeting
thero bo read tho sentences from the
Colonel's Carnegie Hall speech of March
2 which were reprinted In yesterday's
Su.v, beginning, "In the long fight for
righteousness the watchword ot us an
Is '8iend nnd bo spent,' It la of little
matter whother otio man falls or succeeds,
but tho cause will succeed, for it is the
cause of manKimi
To the county chairmen Mr. Hotchklss
sent this note:
V now. this Tiiriay afternoon, frrl

MUCH IMPROVED
YET OUT OF DANGER
qiiirios from up-Stato Progressives as to
the latest word from the surgeons in
Chicago.
The question that National Chairman
Joseph Si. Dixon heard all day from sleep
less Progressives was:
"With Col. Itoosevelt's engagements
cancelled, what ore you going to do?
Who are you going to send out to take his
place?"
And Senator Dixon always answered:
"la there any one who could take the
Colonel's place?"
Late in the afternoon the Senator
said that the work of headquarters was
practically suspended. Everybody was
still hoping that a bulletin would arrive
indicating that the Colonel himself would
fill his own dates after a few dayB rest.
Meanwhile tho machinery was stopped.
There were no committee conferences
yesterday and none was suggested.
George W. Perkins, chairman of the
executive committee, was nt headquarters
all day. Like Senator Dixon and the staff
he had slept little. The Senator had
turned in about 2 A. M. to arise at 0 o'clock
and scan the early morning bulletins
and the newspapers.
There waa some talk In the afternoon
of asking Gov. Hiram Johnson to go over
the campaign route mapped for his chief,
butSentorDixoo aaid thar, this apaetila
tion was unofficial. Gov. Johnson is now
peaking in Ohio and is headed toward
the Pacific coast. Ho must return to
California very soon in obedience to tho
law that a Governor must not absent
himself for more than thirty consecutive
days.
Airs. Hiram Johnson, who is In New
York, got a meesage from her husband
yesterday saying that he was in Cleve
land and desired definite information as
to Col. Roosevelt's condition. Ho was
much worried. Mrs. Johnson went to
Progressive headquarters after getting
the telegram and was told that she could
send words of reassurance to her husband.
Mrs. Johnson also chatted with Mrs.
Theodore Roosevelt at tho Manhattan
before Mrs. Rooeevelt went to Chicago.
Dr. Lyman Abbott, George E. Roose
velt, a nephew of the ex-Presidont, and
Timothy L. Woodruff wero among tho
Progressives who spent part of tho day
at the Manhattan, where bulletins ot tho
surgeons and other newa from (). K.
Davis, the party's secretary, were coming
in over a special wire from Chicago.

Pri.vceton, Oct. 15. Gov. Wilson an
nounced this evening his Intention of
cancelling every campaign engagement
from which he can possibly withdraw
until Mr. Roosevelt Is able to take the
stump again.
"I cannot." ho said, "cancel the en
gagements which are Immediately ahead
of me without subjecting those who
have arranged them to very serious em
barrassment and great unnecessary ex
pense, but I shall cut the series at the
earliest possible point.
"Mr. Taft has at no time taken an
active part in the campaign and I have
no desire to bo the single candidate on
the stump engaged against no active
antagonist."
Gov. Wilson was asked If his active
spocchmaklng would end on his return
on next Saturday from Delaware, West
Virginia and Pennsylvania.
"Yes," he said. "I havo asked my
managers to arrange to cancel the en
gagements In Now York and Brooklyn
for next Saturday night."

Crnotuo. Oct. IB. Theodore lloose
velt Is resting easy to-night at tho
Mercy Hospital, and while it cannot bo
said that he Is out of danger hla condi
tion shows a slight Improvement over
that of the morning.
An official bulletin Issued by the Bur
geons early In the evening said that
there was less pain In breathing than
In the forenoon. It added that tho
patient had practically no cough and. no
bloody expectoration.
At 11 o'clock to-night It was said at
the door of tho sickroom that the con
dition of the patient throughout thj
evening had remained unchanged, and
that In vlow of this fact In all proba
bility there would bo no further bulle
tins during the night.
That the Colonel Is holding hla own 19
evidenced by the fuct that early In tha
evening, after tho official bulletin ot (he,
surgeons had been given out, he sent fop
n stenographer, Albert H. McGrath, and
began personally to answer the mora
Important of the hundreds of the tele
grams that had been pouring In all da
and evening.
While engaged In this work hla daugh
ter, Mrs., Nicholas Longworth, arrived,
from Cincinnati and was admitted to
the sickroom.
She remained with hor father only aj
few minutes, however.
The attending surgeons have deemed
It inadvisable to probe for the bullet
and are awaiting a report from Milwau
kee as to whether the remaining bullet!
found In the pistol of the assassin wero
poisoned.
Danger la Stilt Feasible.
That there Is possibility of danger
from the wound was tho admission ot
Dr. Terrell, who accompanied Col.
Roosevelt to Chicago.
"I would not wish to say at this time
he Is not dangerously wounded," aald
the surgeon. "The gun was a foul one
and the bullet passed through too many
aubstancea before It entered hla body
for tho fear ot blood poisoning not to
bo Immlnont,"
That Col. Roosevelt will speedily
recover unless complications not now
expected set In was In effect the
statement of Dr. Murphy, made at 9:30
o'clock to-night, after examining hla
distinguished patient for tho fourth
time.
A bulletin Issued earlier In the eve
ning aald that a prophylactlo Injection
of antl-tetanlo serum has been made,
with a view to meeting tho possibilities
of the appearance ot lockjaw later.
Supplementing the final bulletin,
which he alone signed, Dr. Murphy as
serted that probably no attempt would
be made to extract the bullet from tho
Colonel's breast for threo or four days,
"As long as the ball la not pressing,
on any nerve or vital organ and unless
there la a rise In temperature It will not
be necessary to operate," he aald Tha
bullet ought to Incapaulata (a Croirt
four to six days. It then uv bj
removed without danger Tu-Uant
