Mr.. Roosevelt was greatly

treatment deeply impressed him.
Like the late President Mckinley,
Mr.. Roosevelt is imbued with the
idea of personally greeting the
people.
No plans have bee matured as
yet for the southern trip, but it
is expected the president will
give serious consideration to
such an excursion soon after re-
turning from Oyster Bay, where
he and his family will spend the
hot months. The president has
been assured by his southern
friends that an ovation awaits

SHOOTS HIS FRIEND
Aged indianapolis Doctor Fires at Boys
and Hits Alexander Downie.

INDIANAPOLIS, May ALEX
ander Downie was yesterday shot
in the back by Dr. John S. Par
sons, who fired at crowd Of
boys because they called him
"Qusck.
Downie was taken to the city
hospital, where it was ascertain
ed that the bullet had struck him
in the median line between the
shoulder blades, but-its course
was not learned. He complained
that his lower limbs were paral-
yzed.
DR.. Parsons was arrested or
the charge of shooting with in
tent to kill, but was released on
a bond of $500.
Dr.P Parsons is 20 years old and
has practiced medicine for forty
two years, twenty-seven of which
were in Indianapolis. For the
last ten years, he says he has
been annoyed almost beyond en-
durance by "Bungaloos," who
dog his steps and call "quack,
quack" after him. Several times
lately he has turned angrily on
the boys and threatened violence,
but this action only made the
boys more insulting.
Yesterday afternoon he started
from his Office toward his home.
AS he passed a crowd of boys in
front of Chandler &c Taylor's
foundry a number of them fol-
lowed him, shouting "Quack. :"
The doctor stopped in front of a
boiler lying on the sidewalk.
Downie was at this time walking
toward the Acme mills where he
is employed as engineer. He
was thirty feet away from DR..
Parsons when the latter fired at
a boy standing at the other end
of the boiler from the doctor.
When Parsons fired DoWnie
fell to the sidewalk. DIR. Par
sons was taken to the police STA
ton and Downie was sent to the
hospital in an ambulance.
At the station Parsons told
Supt. Taffe that he did not in
tend to Shoot Downie, but that
he was angered beyond control
at the boys who tormented him,
and having his revolver with
him he recklessly drew it and
fred. He said Downie was a
good friend of his.
There is one.thing about it, :"

tiles are lenient with me and let
me off easy, I don't believe that

ing.
The work of rescuing the girls
from the windows was necessar-
lily tedious. They were so ex-
cited that they did not seem to
understand the pleadings of the
fremen. At nearly every win
dow of the huge structure were
girls screaming and crying for
help. Many were so excited that
it was with the greatest difficulty
that they were prevented from
jumping from the building, not
withstanding that there was not
a sign of fire and their rescue
seemed only the work of a few
moments.
The panic was over in less than
half an hour, but in this brief
space thousands of people had
been attracted to the scene by the
wild screams Of the relatives of
the victims and the shrieks of the
girls at the windows.
