Roosevelt was considered' practi cally out of danger today. The nurses and 'doctors were smiling and the whole hospital air was of hope. Col. Roosevelt had been al lowed tones'' most of the mes sages which have been pouring into Chicago from all over the world since the shooting. The messages are from all sorts of people, from kings to prizefighters. Philip Roosevelt, the colonel's cousin, said today that Roose velt's attitude toward the man who shot him is most remarkable. "He seems to feel no anger toward the" man," Philip said, "little pity, but a great deal of impatience. When the shooting occurred my cousin said : " 'Bring the man to me. Bring him here. Let no man hurt him 1' "After the man was brought before him he questioned him as to his motives. Then he turned him over to the police, and since that time has scarcely, spoken his name." Colonel Roosevelt slept well all night. He wakened early, and de manded breakfast, and a big one because he was "very hungry." When he heard that Mrs. Roosevelt was drawing into Chi cago on the Twentieth Century, he turned to the nurse and asked that the room be tidied up. "Mrs. Roosevelt is a good housekeeper you know," he said, "and she might scold if she found the room not in the best order." Dr. John B. Murphy, head of the corps of physiciafts, who are in attendance on the Colonel, is pleased with, the arrival of Mrs. Roosevelt. "It's fine to have Mrs. Roose velt here," Murphy said. "She will be able to keep the Colonel's mind off the campaign, and that is what is most necessary just now." Medill McCormick gave out the following statement today. "The statements of Mulvane and King are the statements of cads. Every sensible man knows that men like Marshall on the Democratic side and Hilles and Harlan on the Republican side, by their reckless speeches and out rageous falsehoods have invited weak minded men to desperate things. One would think Presi dent Taft and Governor Wilson would repudiate the statements and kick these men out of their organizations." o o JUMP ON HEARST PRESS Danville, HI., Oct. 15.
