NERVE MAY SAVE HIS LIFE
DENTIST SHOT BY MoTHER-IN-
LAW LIKELY TO GET WELL.
Operation Postponed-Patient Sits
Up in Bed and Chats With
Friends.

NEW YORK, July 15.-The remarkable
will power which brought Dr. James w
Simpson. unassisted, from Northport
Long Island. to Roosevelt Hospital after
he had been shot through the left lung
and the liver by his mother-in-law, Mrs.
Ella Horner. is now standing him in such
good stead that the operation which was
to have been performed on him yesterday
to save his life was indefinitely post
poned
Instead of growing weaker and sinking
under internal hemorrhages. as was ex-
pected DR.. Simpson grew stronger, and
yesterday was able to sit up and talk
with a number of friends who called in
the expectation of speaking with him for
the last time

pected to feel he said to one of these
callers yesterday afternoon. I'm feeling

DIR. Eugene F. Hoyt, a surgeon. was
asked last night what he thought of DR..
Simpsons chances for life.
Not Necessarily Fatal.
They seem to be very good" said DR.
Hoyt. Neither wound is necessarily
mortal. although the two combined are.
of course. very serious. A wound in the
lower lobe of the lung does not mean
death any more than does puncture of
the liver. unless pneumonia or inflamma-
ton should set in in the lung or an alb
scess form in the liver. DR.. Simpson

add much toward his chances Of recov-

to Mrs. Horner. and he would be pre-
pared to furnish almost any amount.

DR.. Baar, with his daughter Beatrice

Held Pending Investigation Of Muir

CHICAGO. July 15.-Edward Thompson.
husband of Mrs Frances Gilmore Thomp-
son, the woman found strangled in her
apartment. 1912 Michigan avenue, recent
ly. was locked up yesterday a witness
pending further investigation into the
crime. His detention was a surprise to
Thompson who came to Chicago from
Minneapolis Monday night without coer-
cion. 1t resulted from the sudden de-
cision OF Inspector Wheeler. who after
considerable questioning concluded that
Thompson was not telling the whole
truth.
The inspector dispatched Detective Egan
to Minneapolis to check up on the mans
statements. The man called upon AS
sistant Chief Schuettler and inquired into
the details of the murder. He was re-
ferred to Inspector Wheeler. The in
spector did not view the story related by
Thompson in the same light as the as
sistant chief. who candidly states his be-
lief that Thompson had no knowledge of
the crime until he read about it in the
NEWSPAPERS.

HONORS GROVER CLEVELAND
PRESIDENT NAMES FOREST FOR
LATE EX-PRESIDENT.
Roosevelt in Letter to Sage Of
Princeton's Widow Calls Cleve-
land Forest Founder.

OYSTER BAY, N. Y. July 15.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt has written a letter to
Mrs. Grover Cleveland. informing her of
a proclamation he has signed changing
the name of the San, Jacinto National
Forest to the Cleveland National Forest.
in honor of the late former President.
The letter is as follows:
oyster BAY. July 13, 1908.
My Dear Mrs. Cleveland:
1T has recently been my privilege to
sign a proclamation changing the name
of the San Jacinto National Forest to the
Cleveland National Forest. May 1 ex
press to you the very great pleasure it
gave to me to take that acton-a pleas
ure mingled with keen sense of the loss
to our country and to our citizens in the
death of President Cleveland.
Father of Forest Policy.
con February %, 1897 President Cleve-
land signed the proclamation creating the
San Jacinto forest reserve, in southern
California. The date February p. was
mo- mere accident, since the signature of
the proclamation was timed to coincide'
with the birthday Of our first President.
President Cleveland was one of the
first to recognize the need of forest
preservation. anu lHe CTedlIoH Ol lue Sdu
Jacinto and other forest reserves, with a
total area of 25,6S6.32 acres, was one of
the results of his foresight in this direc-
ton.
Throughout his life he took great in
terest in conserving the natural resources
of the nation. and l particularly regretted
his ina ability to attend the meeting of
governors in May. because that meeting
was in part the fruit of seed he had sown
years before.
The name of Grover Cleveland will
always be prominently identified with the
movement to protect the forests of the
United States. and it seemed to me emf
nently fitting that one of the forests which
he created should bear his name through
out all time. Sincerely yours,
..THEODORE ROOSEVELT"
