indianapolis, Sept, 24.-The western
trip OF President Roosevelt was
brought to an untimely end in this
city Tuesday afternoon. His left leg
which was injured in the trolley ac-
cident at Pittsfeld few weeks ago
began swelling rapidly between the
knee and ankle. Surgical attention
was Immediately demanded and an op-
Grafton was at once advised.
The president was conveyed to st.
Vineents s hospital in this city where
the operation was successfully per-
formed. The operation occurred at
3:45 o'clock ana lasted only a short
time. Then he was taken to private
room in the hospital to rest. After
taking a light luncheon at 1880 y. N.
he was conveyed on a stretcher to
his train, which had been backed up
on a "Y'' near the hospital and at
1850 o'clock the train lett Tor WASH
ington.
The following official statement vas
issued TO the press by Secretary Cor
tslyou shortly after the illness OF the
president was announced:
"As result OF the trolley accident
at Pittsfield, Mass, the president re-
ce!ved several serious bruises. One OF
these on the left leg between the knee
small abscess. The president is e.
tireIy we'll otherwise and has continI-
ed TO meet the several engagements
OF his itinerary, but in view of the
continuance OF the abscess and out OF
an abundance of caution, Drs. Oliver
and Cook OF Indianapolis were reques-
ted to meet DR.. Lung, the presidents s
surgeon, at Indianapolis, DR.. Richard
son, OF Washington, ID. c., being also
one of the number.
In the opinion of the doctors the
trouble necessitates an operation which
they think should be performed at once
at st. Vincent's hospital in this city.
Az after the operation the president
will require entire rest, probably for
at least ten days or two weeks, it has
been necessary to cancel all the re-
naming engagements of this trip and
he will go directly from Indianapolis
to Washington this evening.
"The physicians say that the case is
not IN any way serious and that there
Is no danger whatever. This state
mont is made so that no false rumors
may disturb the people and that they
may be authoritatively advised of the
exact nature of the case"

Columbus, o., Sept. "a. - The SEN
ate latc Tuesday afternoon approved
of the amendment submitted by Sena-
tor Hosea, of Hamilton, which is de-
signed to nmllify the effect of the deci-
sion of the superior court Of Cincin-
natl holding the Rogers franchise law
to be unconstitutional. 1t was intro
duced at the behest and for the bene-
fit of the Cincinnati Traction COM
pany which secured fifty year fran
chise under this law. Its adoption will
prevent the company from suffering
any loss under the ruling of the court.
The Republicans supported it as a
unit, and the Democrats to man
voted against it.
The franchise question itself was
passed over until today. The Hosea
amendment caused much bitter de-
bate.
THE BEAL LAW.
The senate listened to Joe Miller,
the brewers agent, Tuesday afternoon
and adopted a motion to reconsider
the vote whereby the Beal law was
incorporated in the code. Final dis
position OF the matter was deferred
pending the return OK Senator Cham
berlain, the author of the amendment
placing the Beal law in the code, who
was called away by the illness of a
relative. Miller says that If the Beal
law remains in the code and the stat
utes that the court may decide 1t TO
be sound, but If it only stands in stat
ute il may be declared unconstitutional
lie does not want his clients to stand
a double fire, he said. The supreme
court will soon pass upon the legality
of this law.
FRANCHISE QUESTION.
The house committee will give con-
sidcration to board of health matters
today. The senate is wrestling with
the franchise question. The sessions
OF Tuesday were marked by lurid dis
plays of oratorical pyrotechnics.
The code situation is Kaleidoscope.
At divers times 1t has been confident
ly predicted by those who claim TO
know that the following codes would
be passed by the legislatures: Nash
code, Federal code, Guerin code, CON-
promise between Nash and Federal
codes, Guerin code. modified, Okey-
YcrK code. On Tuesday 1t was pre-
dicted that the last named measure
would be the one which would ulti.
mately pass. Some who have profitei
by the swiftly changing scenes have
sworn off making code predictions.
However, 1t seems safe to venture the
prognosticaticn that the Legislature
will enact municipal code. The lat
est story is that the Hamilton county
delegation will coalesce with the Dem
ocrats and pass the York-Okey meas
ure.

With the acquisition of the Western

continuous line from the Atlantic to

reaches from the lakes to the gulf,

For His Enemies.
GENERAL CALL TO ARMS.
Governor of Caracas Issues Decree
that All VenezueIans In Federal Dis.
trict Between 1e and SO Years Must
Join Military.

Caracas, Venezuela, Thursday, Dec.
1.-THE government has token pre-
servative measures at LaGuayra. All
the deposits of coal at the navy yard
and all the British cars on the LaGuay-
ra railroad have been brought here
rendering it impossible to transport
troops by rail General Ferrera the
minister of war, spent all Cay today
in choosing spots in the mountains
where trenches are to be dug. The
governor of Caracas has issued the
following decree:
"All Venezuelans living in the Fed
eral district between the age of Is
and so years must enroll themselves
in the military. Any such persons
refusing to enroll voluntarily, as pa
triotism demands, will be declared
traitors and sent before the tribunals" :"
Yesterday, after a long conference
with President Castro, United States
Minister Bowen obtained an order for
the liberation of the remaining British
and German subjects who were held
prisoners, and an hour later all had
been released. Minister Bowen and
Secretary Of Legation Russell went to
the jail five times and assisted the
poor negro British subjects and those
who were i'll.
The order for the release of the
prisoners has made a good impression,
and is looked upon as polite action
on the part of President Castro. Every
one in Caracas believes the situation
to be desperate, and threatens war
unless Minister Bowen succeeds in
having the matters in dispute submit
ted to arbitration.
1t is said on the authority of an Of
fetal near President Castro that he
has allowed Minister Bowen to com
municate with the Berlin and London
governments through the state depart
ment at Washington, this being the
only hope of avoiding a serious con
fiict. 1t is reported that the plan of
the British and German forces is to
secure the ports of LaGuayra and
Juerto Cabello.

Through some unaccountable cause
the large boiler of the mills blew up,
and badly wounded four of the men,
while nearly every man in the building
was injured in some way, and the
plant was totally wrecked.
The boiler had not been used for
over an hour prior to the accident, so
the cause of the exp;osion is mys-
terry.
The fireman had been ordered to fire
up preparatory to starting the machin.

The entire village was shaken by
the explosion, and glass windows were
shattered.
The financial loss will be heavy, as
there was no insurance to cover an
accident of this kind
