Washington, Oct. IS.—After another
good night President Wilson showed
further signs of improvement. It was
said today at the "White House. White
House officials resented publication of
reports that the president's condition
was such that he could not attend to
his* duties should important matters
arise.
"The president could sign bills today
If they were placed before him, but
wt are not putting them before him,"
said one official. Those closest to him
have every confidence that he will re
gain his health, altho ho* must obey
his physicians' orders and remain in
bed for an extended period. There Is
no reason why legislation requiring his
attention should not be placed before
him, but such matters rest with Ad
miral Grayson.
Bills new ready for his action are
the prohibition measure and the food
control act.
No Change, Say Phyaioians.
President WUfcpn's condition re
mained about the same and his organs
are functioning normally, said a bulle
tl from his physicians. The bulletin
said:
"White House* Oct. IS, 11:16.—The
president's condition remained much
the same as for the past several days.
His temperature, with th6*exceptttfii of
one dayi pulse, heart action and blood
pressure.are normal and have been so
from the onset of his illness. Orayson,

Says PrwUant Is Seriously ll(,
Publication of a totter written by
iSenaUfr QSHtge H. ICosofto a New
Hampshire friend stating that Presi
dent Wilson had "suffered some kind
of a cerebral lesion" hsta deeply stirred
official Washington and served to re
vive anxiety ovter the outcome of his
illness.
JDr. Cary T. Orayson, the president's
physician, would make no comment on
Senator Moser report of the president's
condition^
"I will not discuss suct^a report or
avf- other"1rumor regarding the presi
dent's illness," Dr. Orayson sald^ "The
policy of confuting statements regard
ing the president's condition to the of
ficial bulletins will be adhered to."
Secretary. Tumulty also declined to
talk of the report, stating that any
thing concerning the president's illness
most come from Dr. Grayson,
Notwithstanding 6fflcial silence on
the subject, thOr* explanation of the
president's ilhiess, as stated by Senator
Moses, has been a subject of gosBlp
among senators and representatives
and others \n offloial life for several
days.
That any one cognizant of the presi
dent's actual condition has ever con
firmed the report that he had sustained
a blood lesion in the brain cannot be
stated, but nevertheless some men
high in official life have been led to
believe that this is a fact
For more than a wieek the blood
lesion diagnosis of the president's case
has been accepted In many quarters,
and the announcement by the presi
dent's physician yestenday that the
president ma« be kept In 1ea ror %n
"extended Mriod" served only to

Gradually Improving.
,%.*• The accepted opinion here is that
the president Js gradually improving.
It Is certain that he Is In much better
condition today than he was a week
Sr atfo. At that time members of the
cabinet were alarmed and the prob
ability that the president might not
be able to resume his duties was dla
cussed at the special cabinet meeting
called by- Secretary Lanslqg last Mon
day.
The president, hqsrever, had show^
perceptlbl# signs of improvement that

vice president to assume the presi

Orayson Keeping Rublie tat Dark.
After the bulletin was issued Dr.
Orayson said that he and the other
physicians would stand on their bul
letins and woultl not deny ruipora^ as
to the president's condition pr enter
Into any dlacuaalotf concerning them.
Dr. Orayson said while ho would in
sist that the president must remain
quiet, some casesv might arise whure
he would hvve to consent to the pres
ident taking some executive action.
He added ^hat the president's mind
waa clear and that he was able to form
Instant Judgment. Dr. Grayson said he
must guard carefully against any re
lapse.
Committee Discusses Wilson.
A discussion of whether President
Wilson is well enough to 'perform his
duties developed at a session of the
senate foreign relations coihmltee to
day when certain information was re
quested In a resolution on Chinese af
fairs. A vote on the resolution and
others was postponed on motion of
Senator Williams, of Mississippi, who
,1s said to have argued that the presi
dent should not be called on for Infor
mation In such matters. The resolu
tion iiad been introduced by Senator
Polndexter, of Washington, and would
ask for a dispatch said to have been
sent last January by the American am
bassador in Peking on Japanese-Chl
nese relations.
It was understood that the case of
President McKlnley's Illness was cited,
the senator^ objecting, declaring that
in that instance the senate refrained
as a matter of courtesy from raising
points on foreign relations. To this
some senators are said to have replied
that the critical condition of President
McKlnley was known to every one,
while the subject of President Wilson's
health Is now the subject of widespread
discussion.
Besides the Polndexter resolution the
committee majority is expected to act
on a resolution by Senator King on the
subject of Thrace and one by Chair
man Lodge requesting the president to
call an International conference relat
ing to questions of telegraph and wire
less cpmunlcatlon.
COLONEL HOUSE HOME ILL.
President's Adviser Returns From
Peace Conference and Takes to Bed.
New YorK, Oct.
13.—Suffering
from
an attack of gallstones complicated by
a severe cold, Col. E. M. House, aefviser
to the president ana a member of the
American peace delegation, who arriv
ed here .yesterday from France, re
mained in seclusion at his home today.
Coloned House hopes by a week's feat
to regain'his health sufficiently to go
to Washington. In an interview Col
onel House was asked about a report
that he planned to severe his connec
tion with diplomatic affairs. He re^
plied: "That all depends on my health.
I intend to serve as long as I am able."
It was a year ago the 17th of this
montli that.Colonel House started for
Europe under direction of President
Wilson te take up tlie preliminaries of
peace. It was a pale, thi^ and suffer*
ing than who left the big ship Sunday.
And he was glad to get back, "terri
bly glad," he said, as he prepared for
his siege of rest demanded by the
doctors to return him to hefUth.
Commander Allen McLean, who was
the colonel's physlcan in Paris, hap
pened to be aboard the ship, returning
home, when the coloncl was stricken
with a recurrence of gallstones, which
caused htm much suffering abroad.. At
the pier he was met by Dr. Albert
Lamb, his personal physician, and the
two physicians accompanied klm to his
residence for a consultation.
It is complete rest the colonel needs,
they declared later, and prescribed no
effort of any kind until the last effects
of the attack were passed. Both ex
pressed the opinion that Mr. House
had successfully sufvived the peak of
the present trouble and probably would
be able to be about after a .week.
The colonel was stricken shortly
4fter he left Brest, and from that time
during the entire Journey he was un
able to leave his stateroom, lie did
not rise ftom his bed today until just
as the Northern Paolfto was docking.
Immediately upon the boat's arrival
the colonel received newspaper men in
his stateroom, and as is his wont,
handed them a brief prepared state
ment It read:
"I have nothlng-to say. Everything
has been said that can be said on
every vital siibject. We should now
begin to work, work steadily and tran
quilise."
