MERCY HOSPlTAL,. CHICAGO,
oct lj.-Formcr President Roose,
Welt was resting fairly easy tonight
ana his physicians said after a day
of nervous strain, they were pleased
with his condition. The clinical re-
cord shows however, that his condi-
ton was hardly as favorable as when
he entered the hospital this morning
cn his arrival from Milwaukee.
His pulse at 10 o'clock was So, or
IA counts above normal and two
counts above the record two hours
after he was shot. His temperature
was 09.2 or three -flfths of a degree
above normal 1t was believed the
Gght would indicate whether the
pistol wound inflicted on him last
night by John Schrank in Milwaukee
would heal normally.
DR.. John b. Murphy, VINO is in
charge Of the case, left the hospital
before 10 o'clock for the night.
Colonel Roosevelt is resting quiet
ly," he said. "IIe had a small din
rer. There was less distress in his
breathing. His general condition is
> exceptionally good and he should
spend a good night

ed by the wound as up to the time
Of the injection the patients temp
orature was practically normal The
Increase in the rate Of his pulse is
not accounted for.
Colonel Roosevelt told his nurse
tonight as he picked up his book for
n second period Of reading about II |
o'clock, that he was going home to

his breakfast for seven o'clock and /
said:
Mind I want a good one I'll be
hungry"
He gave directions about his
clothes and his room to have every
thing in reGam mess to receive Mrs .
Roosevelt in the morning.
"rhe colonel acts very eager to see
Mrs. Roosevelt" said Nurse Fltzger-
aid. "He talks about her quite a
bit and is very particular about ey-
erything pleasant for her"
Nurse Fitzgerald said that the
colonels pulse after his sponge bath
was not far above normal, consider
ing his physical characteristics. Colo
mel Roosevelt, after his bath and
shave had no pain of any kind, but
said he was slightly nervous from in
action.

after all day examinations and con-
sultauons, and the colonel must. not
see or speak to any one for several
days, without permission of the doc
tors
The wound was definitely dcscrib-
ed as a serious wound in the chest
and not mere flesh wound The
late bulletin, which prohibited COM
municauon between the colonel and
others than his attendants, declared
that quiet IS absolutely essential"
The surgeons asserted, however, q
that it was not yet necessary to
probe for the bullet and the patient

his nature will allow him for few
days.
