Blood Poisoning To Longer
Regarded as a Possibility.
Chicago, Oct. 19. Col. Theodore
Rcosevelt will leave Mercy hospital
for Oyster Bay Monday forenoon at
10:25 o'clock over the Pennsylvania
railway.
This was the announcement made to
day by Dr. Alexander Lambert, ihe
colonel's family physician after the
examining physicians had issued the
fallowing bulletin describing his condi
tion. "9:05 a. m. Saturday, Oct. 19:
"Pulse 86; temperature 98; resp:''

well, condition good. Convalescing st

"ALEXANDER LAMBERT
"SCURRY L. TERRELL."
Last night was one of almost un
t'eken rest of Col. Roosevelt.
He fell asleep shortly after 11 o'clock
and he woke only once between then
mid after 7 o'clock today when he an
nounced himself ready for breakfast
The wound gave him little trouble.
The crisis in his illness now is believe j
to have been passed and his rapid re
covery is confidently expected. Blood
poisoning no longer Is regarded as a
possibility by his attending physicians.
The only danger to be feared now is
t'tanus, or lockjaw, and even this is
bt-Iieved to be remote. I
Throughout the night Col. Roosevelt
was awake only once. That was at 3
o'clock and then for only a few min
utes In which Night Nurse Fitzgerald
had only time to obtain a clinical rec
ord. His record at that time was nor
mal and he said he felt exceedingly
well. His temperature was 98. pulse
TO and respiration 18.
For the first time since his confine
ment In the hospital Col. Roosevelt
was permitted to sit up for a short
space yesterday. It is believed this
relief will be prolonged today.
When he awoke this morning he was
asked by Nurse Fitzgerald if the bul
let was causing any Inconvenience.
"Not a bit," he replied. "I'm feel
ing bullv."
Today the colonel probably will per
sonally reply to some of the many
letters that are constantly being re
ceived, but most of which are being
looked after by his secretary. Looking
after such correspondence as his physi
cians and Mrs. Roosevelt will permit
him to care for and receiving a few
visitors probably will make up the
greater part of the day for the col
onel. When he awoke the colonel's clinical
record showed temperature 98; puise
70 and respiration 18. This is practi
cally where the figures stood for the
night. Such changes as were record
ed were considered of no importance.
At breakfast, which he had with Mrs.
Roosevelt, he asked for the morning
papers.
Best "ews He Has Received.
Colonel Roosevelt declared the news
that he could go home Monday to be
the best he had received since he first
was assured that the wound would not
be fatal.
"It has been very tedious, waiting
here," he told the physicians, "in
ppite of the fact you gentlemen and
the Sisters of Mercy have provided
for me in a royal way.
"It is no fault of the care and at
tention I have had, that's certain, but,
as you know, this is just the height of
the campaign and every day lost
means a golden opportunity of calling
new attention to our cause gone be
yond recall.
"Now, mother," he said, addressing
Mrs. Roosevelt, so for the first time in
the memory of the nurses since she
came to the hospital, "I'll be pretty
ood while I'm here so there won't
be any reason for delaying our start
home. Of course, I can t help being
impatient, but I'll do as you say now
with as little protest as possible."
Preparations for the stait began at
once. Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., obtain
ed from his parents the general in
structiones as to the aeparture, and
arranged with memters of the Pro
gressive party in Chicago to look to
train arrangements. Reservations
were ordered on the train by the con
tingent of newspaper men and physi
cians accompanying the colonel and
the hospital authorities prepared to
lake up with the police department
the question of providing adequate
puard about the building- when the
noted patient was to leave
Plan for the Trio.
Tentative plans provide that he
fhall leave the hospital not in an am
bulance, but in a limousine, which will
drive slowly to the union station. A
wheel chair probably will be there in
which Colonel Roosevelt may be car
ried down the long flight -i steps to
the train floor. He will have a private
car and a guard of Chicago policemen
will be asked to accompany the train
to the Illinois line. Secretaries Mc
Grath and Martin gathered in bales
the letters that have been received
from all over the United States and
arranged them for shipment by ex
press to Sagamore Hill. Less than
20 0 letters have been answered and
the others will be taken uo by a spe
cial corps of secretaries when the
Roosevelt family has re-established
itself in Oyster Bay.
Mrs. Roosevelt sighed with relief
when she was advised b- the doctors
that it .would be safe ana advisable
that she break up her temporary
household at Mercy hospital. She had
only one brief ride in the open air
since she 'arrived Wednesday and her
close watch has fatigued her consid
erablv. "I thinkMt now is safe to say that
Colonel Roosevelt to 1! purposes is
out of danger," announced Dr. Lam
bert, the Roosevelt physicit-n, and Dr.
W. B. McCauley, who has had charge
of dressing and caring for the wound
ed agreed.
So satisfied were the physicians as
to Colonel Roosevelt that they direct
ed the interne who appeared to ex
tract a drop of blood for ascertaining
its condition, he need not make the
est until evening.
Despite the Milwaukee state s at
torney's statement that John
Schrank's trial would not be held un
til atter election, it was stated by a
member of the Roosevelt party here
today that it had been quietly ar
ranged to bring th-e would-be assassin
to trial next Monday. The case, how
ever, was postponed to next Wednes
day, it is said, because danger of
tetanus developing from the colonel's
wound will not pass until that day.
OUT FORJUDGES
Kansas City Star Comes Out in
the Open.
Its Slogan Is Now Roosevelt,
Hodges and Stubbs.
The Kansas City Star and Times
hfs come out squarely for Hodges for
governor. In a first page editorial
Saturday it urges the election of Roose
velt. Hodges and Stubbs. It congratu
lates the voters on the opportunity this
year to break away from party organi
ze! ion. Earlier in the week It urge!
tne voters to take their choice between
Hodges and Capper for governor, with
tu. favor either way. The Star now
claims that there Is no progressive
candidate for governor, and that stnC'j
Hodges is a Progressive Democrat, it
i:-- belter to support him.
Why Capper was 'singled out for op
Vtition by the Roosevelt organ is not
stated. The editorial in the Saturday
Times, under the heading, "Roosevelt,
Ii-idges and Stubbs," Is as follows:
"Kansas does not belong to any pol
itical party. It entered its protest
against "yellow dog" politics in 18!)0
and in 1S92 when it took up the Populist
p?rty in order to make its protest ef
fective. "In 1906 it repudiated again the as
sumption of the Republican lealer
'.hat Kansas belonged to them.
"Kansas is progressive, but not pa-"U-
siin It is for the progressive measures
that have been enacted into legislation
in that state and for the progressive
msasures that the Progresive party is,
p'edged to put into legislation. And the
I.ansas voters have the intelligence to
pick out the men from among the can
didates who are the most likely to car
ry out effectively those policies.
"Kansas is for Roosevelt for presi
dent, of course. The people of that
state are not to be fooled by the pre
tense of either of the old parties that
they represent the Kansas idea of
progress. They know Roosevelt. He
suits exactly and the Progressive
voters of the state intend to give him
the electoral vote of Kansas.
"There is no state candidate of the
Progressive party in Kansas. But Kan
sas knows that George Hodges is a real
Kansas progressive. As governor he
will do what he has done in the state
senate. He has been tried under fire
and made good. He Is a progressive
before he is a Democrat. That is the
kind of a man the independent, progres
sive voters of Kansas very naturally
accept as the fit candidate for gover
nor regardless of the brand of the
ticket upon which he ts running.
"It is the same with W. R. Stubbs
for United States senator. As gover
nor Mr. Stubbs has been for the right
thing, always. He is hated by the
crooked politicians of both parties be
cause he has stood for the honest peo
ple of both parties. For that reason
the honest voters of Kansas intend to
stand by Stubbs. Every lie that Is told
about Stubbs by the corporation own
ed politicians and jointkeepers of the
Republican party makes votes for him
among the progressive Democrats.
"The voters of Kansas are to be con
gratulated upon their opportunity this
year to break away from party organ
izations and vote for Roosevelt,
Hodges1 and Stubbs.
"There are three men who represent
everything that Kansas cares a rap for
in politics." 1

Typhoon Sweeps Over Philippines
Canning Enormous Damage.
Manila, Oct. 19. Twenty-five mil
lion dollars is the estimated damage
done by the typhoon whic'i swept the
Philippines, October 16. The storm
extended over a wide area, touching
Surigao in the south, Taoloban in the
north and crossing Leyte, Bohol, Cebu,
Negros and Panay.
Reports from the various districts
are incomplete and contain nothing
definite concerning the rich sugar dis
tricts in Negros nor the interior points
in Cebu and Panay.
Five small coasting steamers were
driven ashore and a hundred small
sailing vessels were sunk or beached.
The army and navy have both join
ed the government in undertaking
measures of relief.
Rear Admiral Nicholson comman
der of the United States Asiatic fleet,
has placed the cruiser Cincinnati at
the service of the governmant and has
gone south with Brigadier General
Harry N. Bandholtz. chief of the
Philippine constabulary. The army
authorities are lending doctors and
men of the hospital corps together
with tents.
The government is dispatching one
steamer to convey tiie doctors and an
other with supplies of food, while it
is holding the transport Warren in re

among American residents. The total
number of dead among the natives has
not been ascertained.
IIAPGOOD TO RESIGN.
Colliers Goes Over to the Support of
Roosevelt.
New "York. Oct. 19. Norman Hap
good has resigned as editor of Colliers'
Weekly, Colliers henceforth becomes a
Progressive paper and will support Col.

By
NEGRO IS HELD
Jack Johnson's Bond Increased
to $1,500 Today.
Crowd of Whites Surround
Champion's Automobile.
Chicago, Oct. 19. Charged with the
abdviction of a white girl, Jack John
son, the negro pugilist, was arraigned
in municipal court today. His bond
was increased from $800 to $1,500
and the case continued until Octo
ber 29.
Johnson became furious1 when At
torney Erbstcin, for Mrs. F. Cameron
Falconnett, mother of the 19 year old
girl, demanded that his bond be in
creased. "I don't think it is necessary to in
crease the bona,' jonnson tola tne
court. "I am a responsible citizen. I
have a business worth $60,000."
He Clashes With Attorney.
"It may be worth that to you,"
flashed back Erbstein, "but it's illegal
and you ought to be put out of busi
ness." "All right. 'Mr. Mayor,'" comment
ed Johnson with a laugh.
"If I was mayor of Chicago you
wouldn't be in business three days,"
replied the attorney.
Judge Hopkins then placed the bond
at $1,500. the usual amount in ab
duction cases. A professional bonds
man posted a cash bond for the ne
gro. Two agents of the government de
partment of justice were present.
When the pugilist stopped his au
tomobile in front of a down town
bank today such a large crowd gath
ered that police were called to clear a
path for his machine. Mutterings
against the fighter were uttered by
several whito men, but there was no
open demonstration.
A few negroes cried "Hurrah for
Johnson." Johnson paid no attention
to the crowd but sped up his automo
bile and drove away quickly.
United .States After Negro.
Chicago, Oct. 19. Jack Johnson's
troubles, growing out of his alleged
relations with Lucile Cameron, a 19-year-old
white girl, have rapidly multi
plied. A few hours after his arrest on
a warrant sworn to by ra. F. Cameron-Falconet
of Minneapolis, Minn.,
the mother of the girl, charging ab
duction, Assistant United States At
tnrnev James H. W ilkerson ordered a
thorough investigation with the view
of government prosecution under the
Mann act, prohibiting the illegal trans
portation of women from one state to
another.
Late in the afternoon Miss Cameron
was served with a subpoena, calling
her before the federal grand jury to
testify against Johnson.
She was also named in a warrant
taken out by her mother charging her
vrith disorderly conduct in order to
keep her in the custody of the police
until a complete inquiry can be mide.
The government is determined to go
the limit in investigating Johnson's
alleged relations with the Cameron girl
and others. Information has come to
the department of justice that the
negro prize fighter has associated
frequently of late with young white
girls and an inquest of these charges
will be thorough.
Girl Tries to Shield Johnson.
Bert J. Meyer, special agent of the
department of Justice, interviewed the
girl at the South Clark street police
station annex. She refused to say
much about her case, attempting to
shield Jack Johnson, it is said, in ev
ery answer to questions put to her.
"We are going to the limit in this
case," said the district attorney. "There
will be no stones left unturned in the
prosecution of the negro," he added,
"if we find that he had anything to
do w-ith the girl's transportation from
another state to Chicago. Furthermore,
the government will delve deeply into
other cases of the like that may be
brought to our notice."
Johnson was indicted by a federal

grand jury a few months ago on
charges of smuggling a diamond neck
lace, valued at $0,000, into America
from London, where he had been with
his white wife, who recently killed her
self. The trial on the criminal
charges of smuggling is expected to be
held during the winter session of the
federal court. Johnson raged when
arrested on a warrant sworn out by
Mrs. F. Cameron-Falconet, of Minneap
olis, mother of the girl. His fury was
threatened when the police refused to
permit him to see the girl, or to pro
cure her release on bonds.
Repulses Mother for Black.
Meantime, Mrs. Cameron-Falconet
visited her 19-year-old daughter in
her cell and weepingly tried to induce
her to return to Minneapolis. Lucile
is said to have repulsed her mother at
first, but finally Durst out with a
declaration that she would rejoin
Johnson if she could.
United States District Attorney
James H. Wilkerson ordered Miss
Cameron taken to the federal build
inar. where she will be held under spe
cial guard until she appears before the
federal grand jury next Monday.
The warrant committing her to the
detention - hospital-for examination as
to her sanity will not be served unless
Jack Johnson succeeds in having her
released on a writ of nabeas corpus.
Armed with warrants charging con
spiracy to violate the Mann white
slave law, federal officers searched the
south side for several women said to
have been involved in the bringing of
girls to Chicago who later were intro
i.uced to Johnson.

Minnesota Has Green Team.
Minneapolis, Oct. 19. Nebraska and
Minnesota football elevens this after
noon are to battle on Northrop field
here in the final test of the strength
of both teams and to verify or deny
numerous "bear" stories which have
emanated from both camps for nearly
a week.
Coach "Jumbo" Stiehm declared his
men were going to put up a hard fight
to repeat their lone victory of 1902
when Minnesota was defeated by a
score of 6 to 0, but that some of his
stars were not in the best of condi
tion. Among these were Quarterback
1 Potter and Left Halfback Purdy.
In the Minnesota team the loss of
Solem. left tackle, injured in practice
last Saturday, would be felt, it was
said, as he had proved one of the
best - i&n on the team in handling the
forward pass. In addition the green
Minnesota team was to lineup against
several seasoned veterans.
The probable lineup:
Minnesota Raymond, left end; Os
trom, left tackle; Sawyer, left guard;
Robertson, center; Rosenthal, right
guard; Shaughnessy, right tackle; Aid

Chicago, Oct. 19. Football elevens
of the University of Chicago and Uni
versity of Iowa are. scheduled to clash
here today in the first p-ame which has
been played between the two schools
;n seven years. The game is one of
great interest in that one of the teams
will be eliminated insofar as cham
pionship honors in the Bi? 9 confer
ence is concerned. Iowa's hopes are
banked on speed of her lighter play
ers against the heavier war-iors of the
Chicago eleven. The Chicago line
averages 185 2-5. pounds and the back
field 161 pounds, while the Iowa line
averages 175 pounds and the back
field 153 pounds.
Coach Hawley complained of a
crippled team, but declared his men
would give a good account of them
selves. Coach Stagg said his men
were in good condition and he ex
