Aboard Mayflower, wireless via Ellis Island, N. Y., Oct. IB: — President Tart sent the following telegrams today to Colonel Roosevelt and Mrs. Roosevelt: "Colonel Roosevelt: Greatly shocked to hear of the outrageous assault upon you. I earnestly hope and pray that your recovery may be speedy and without suffering. WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT." "Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, New York. "I extend to you my heartfelt sympathy in your present distress. Earnestly hope and pray that you and your family will soon learn that all danger as to the colonel's condition is passed.' WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT." Taft appeared deeply affected by the news today that Roose velt's wound was more serious than at first supposed. (Special by United Press Wire.) Chicago, Oct. 15:—Doctors attending Colonel Roosevelt issued the following statement at 1:30 o'clock this afternoon: "Absolute quiet is what the patient needs. He will notf be able to receive any visitors this afternoon. The wound is a serious one, and not a flesh-wound, as at first believed." •» ~~~——————————— Chicago, Oct. 15:—Colonel Theodore Roosevelt will do no more campaigning this year. Positive announcement that the injuries to the ex-President were serious enough to keep him ff the road during tbe remainder of the campaign was made today at the Mercy Hospital, where he was to be operated on and the bullet, fired by a lunatic in Milwaukee, removed. He will be taken to his home in Oyster Bay as soon as he will be able to leave the city. He will remain at home until bis wound has completely mended and will take no active part in the campaign. The necessity for such a precaution was point ed out to the colonel by the physicians. The colonel reluct antly agreed, insisting that he felt perfectly fit. During the preliminary to the operation Colonel Roosevelt patiently submitted to two X-ray examinations. He laughed and joked with the physicians. "Carrying that speech in your pocket certainly was lucky for you," said Dr. Ochener, the Chicago surgeon who was to help in the operation. "Ho-ho!" laughed the colonel, "if they would let me have my way about it! I feel great this morning and could deliver a speech now, if you doctors would let me get up." After the X-ray examination the physicians issued the fol lowing statement: "WE HAVE LOCATED THE EXACT COURSE OF THE BULLET AND HAVE DETERMINED DEFINATELY THAT IT DID NOT TOUCH ANY VITAL SPOT. COL ONEL ROOSEVELT'S LIFE IS NOT IN ANY DANGER." The surgeons then went into consultation to prepare for the operation to remove the bullet. After a consultation the colonel was put under ether and a probe was made for the bullet. . The shooting of Roosevelt is a story that shows the iron nerve of the former President. He insisted on speaking before the audience at the Auditoiium, in Milwaukee, after the bul let had lodged in his body. The colouel had hardly begun his speech when a woman in the audience ai'ose and said: "Colonel Roosevelt, please go back and let the doctors dress your wound." The colonel thanked the woman but insisted that he was not hurt and refused to listen to the entreaties of his party. The colonel continued with a bitter arraignment of his op ponents for an hour and a half ,until he became weak from the Joss of blood, and then was taken from the hall and his wound dressed. On the trip down from Milwaukee Colonel Roosevelt was allowed to sleep all the way. His temperature at that time was normal but his pulse was eighty-four, whereas normally it is seevnty-two. Roosevelt awoke two hours later and said he did not feel bad. His condition, however, is admitted to be serious. Im mediately after reaching Mercy Hospital he was examined by Dr. Tyrell and six other doctors at which time the bullet was located under the tenth rib and against the wall of the chest. The greatest dagger is believed ito be from blood poisoning, as the bullet was fired from a i^usty revolver and passed through manuscript and other articles in his pocket before entering the flesh. v The colonel is resting comfortably and the doctors de clare that at the present time there is ferory reason to believe he will recover.
