WOMAN COMES TO SAVE
LIFE OF GOV. YATES

Springfield, Ill, Sept. 10.-A gray
haired woman, representing herself as a
travelling saleswOman, called at the
executive Office of the state house yes
terday and revealed to Major Robbins,
the governors secretary plans for the
assassination of Governor Yates on
his return, which she claimed she had
overheard. The woman is evidently
crazy. Last January at the time of
the Inauguration of Governor Yates, a
letter was received in which the
writer, a woman, demanded $500,
threatening if it were not forthcom-
ing she would throw vitriol into the
eyes of Dorothy and Catharine, daugh.
ters of the governor. No attention
was paid to the letter.

DECLARES NO ONE ASSISTED HIM
IN HIS FlENDISH
PLOT.

Buffalo, Sept. 10.-Czolgosz went
through another long examination
yesterday, but emerged from it with
out having added anything material to
the knowledge of the case. The chief
aim was to draw from the prisoner
some information as to his probable
accomplices, but he persistently stuck
to his denial that ne was not assisted
in any way. The police have about
concluded that more effective work on
the plot theory could be done on the
outside. It is believed both Emma
Goldman and Julius Schwab will be
detained whenever they are found.
Superintendent Bull has made a gen.
eraI request to the police Of the coun-
try that anyone suspected of compile
ity be detained and examined. Czol-
gosz is still kept secluded and detec-
tives are the only ones who have &C
cess to him. The knowledge Of the
condition of the president is kept
from him. He knew Friday night that
the president was still alive but has
been given nc information since then.

Bryar's Patriotism.

yesterday telegraphed the Times:
Free government may be overthrow,
but it cannot be reformed by those
who violate the commandment, Thou

by laws and laws are in the hands of
the people themselves. Anarchy can
be neither excused nor tolerated here.
The man who proposes to right pub
lie wrong by taking the life of a hui
man being makes himself an outlaw
and cannot consistently appeal to the
protection of the government which he
repudiates. He invites a return to a
state of barbarism in which each one
must at his own risk defend his Ow1
rights and avenge his own wrongs
The punishment administered to the
would-be assassin and to his cocoon

Son of Milwaukee Tanner Has Arm
Badly Broken.
Milwaukee, Sept. 10.-Guido c.
Vogel, eldest son of Fred. Vogel Of the
Pf1ster & Vogel Leather company,
who has been familiarizing himself
with the details of the business by
spending some time in each depart
ment, met with a serious accident at
the tannery yesterday. The young
man had his right arm caught in a cu1-
ting machine and before he could be
released the arm was broken in two
places and the flesh around the elbow
had been lacerated.
Mr.. VOgel is % years old. He was
graduated from the university in the
general science course in '9S. and was
prominent in social circles while here.

hope has become conviction. Indeed
many of the presidents friends seem
possessed with a sort of superStitious
confidence in the presidents recovery
which nothing but an absolute change
for the worse can shake. The basis
for the confidence expressed is solid.
There has been nothing but improve
ment, gradual and slow, but steady.
Every bulletin, every private and pub
lie word of the physicians breathes
encouragement. The reports of the
physicians given out are facts as they
exist from the scientific standpoint,
unmixed with sentiment.
Still, that the president is by no
means out of danger is the verdict of
each of them. Not one will risk his
professional reputation with the state
ment that the president will live. All
they will say is that with every hour
the danger of complications from peri
tonitis or blOOdpoisoning decreases.
DR.. McBurney expresses the opinion
that if the improvement continues it
will be week yet before the presi-
dent can be pronounced out of danger
and a convalescent. Some of his col
leagues place the limit of danger still
further away. The fear of portion
tits it can be said positively has we'll
nigh disappeared. At the expiration
of the 72 hour period at 4 o'clock yes
terday afternoon the danger from that
source is almost gone. The president
himself has been cheerful all day and
expressed confidence in his recovery.
The extreme optimism of the vice
president and members of the cabinet
would be difficult to Overstate.

Not So Bad as Garfied's.
Buffalo, Sept 10.-Dr. McBurney
said to the Associated Press at 3
o'clock that all indications continued
favorable. mo bad symptoms have
appeared, no one can say now that the
president is out of danger" he said,
"and for week still there is a posi-
bility of complications. At the end
of that time if all goes well, we may
be able to say he is convalescent."
But I know cases." put in Doctor
Mann, TO go well for ten days and
then change for the worse"
THAT is true, perhaps said DR..
McBurney, "but it is entirely unusual.
If the president continues to improve
for week, we may safely say he is
convalescent 1t will probably be
three weeks before it will be safe to
move him. We must wait until the
outer wound is healed and strong.
The inner wounds through the
stomach proper will be strong before
the exterior wound is. How long it
will be before he will be able to sit
up will depend upon the rapidity ofim-
provement; and I may say to you far
Their, that the improvement if it con-
tinues, promises TO be rapid
DR.. McBurney was asked to COM
pare the Garfield case and its treat
ment with that of Mckinley. He re-
piled that to do so would be to give
the history of the progress of surgery
during the last twenty years. Besides
the cases are utterly different. Gar
fields wound was an extremely unfor-
tunate one in every way. It was diff
ficult to handle and impossible to get
at the bullet, while the wound of Nc
Kinley was in many respects lucky
one. No comparison was possible.
Turning to the Associated Press rep
resentative, DR.. McBurney said: You
can assure your clientel that all goes
well. The presidents condition could
hardly be more satisfactory. Further
more, you can impress and empha-
size the fact that the bulletins issued
state the truth
DR.. Mann said the president was
not out of danger. Some nOurish-
ment was administered yesterday in
the form of enema, and he had taken
water into the stomach. 1t was found
cold water did not agree with him and
instead water as hot as he can bear is
now being administered. The bowels
are in excellent condition.

| Before q crowd that was probably the
largest that ever witnessed a bowling con-

five last night won two out Of three games
from the leaders, the Young Mems Chris
tan Association team The match was
bowled at the institute, and the home root
ers were given much to applaud. inasmuch
as the CAROLS were up to the limit in every
| frame, not only winning the two games.
| but being lucky enough to capture one of
| them after defeat seemed inevitable. This
was the first time in several weeks that the
sturdy association lads had come off worst
! in any match, they having held their lead
CT the league continuously since November
"a, and in each contest since that time hav-
ing won two Of the games played. The re-
suit of this match puts the CAROLS up
quite near the top, and they are now very
| lively bidders for the lead, having recently
passed the Saengers, and shortly thereafter
topping the Fat Mems five. That the Car
rolls have the best chance in the world to
capture the flag now seems evident, for
after run Of poor luck, during which they
were continually making large scores, yet
generally losing, they have finally got in
the pace
The games last night were all marked by
unusually good scores, In which the losing
team as well as the Wctors were partici-
pants. None Of the strings fell below 300
and once the association passed into 900,
making one of the largest scores of the
year. Lennon made his initial appear
ance as league man, and filed Krauss'
place in very acceptable manner Krauss
is not out of the team permanently, but was
on last night on account Of illness Bros
nan added pins to his average and now
176 average to date.
The scores follow:
