BELIEVED NOW
OUT OF DANGER
MRS. ROOSEVELT IN
CHARGE OF AFFAIRS

The Colonel Enjoys Good Nights
Sleep and Awakes Telling the
Nurse He Is Still Feeling Bully
viii Not Be Taken to oyster Bay
Until Monday.
CHICAGO, H.. Oct. 17.--With Mrs.
Roosevelt in full command of the sick
room in the Mercy Hospital, Colonel
Roosevelt continued to show steady
improvement today. He slept five
hours, and explained to the nurse
when he awoke at o'clock this morn
ing that five hours of sleep was
enough for any man.
He suffered practically no pain, and
had good appetite for breakfast. The
Colonel was mighty pleased" when
told that the doctors had agreed that
he could return to Oyster Bay on Sat
urday if no complications arise.
81 feel bully this mornings the Col
onel told the nurse after he had his
breakfast. ''At this rate 1t won't be
long until | am out of here"
Must Stay Until Monday.
The doctors. at conference held
later this morning decided that Col.
Roosevelt could not leave the hospital
before next Monday. They stated
1ot e.1fe oh fr,I
cation of a complication which might
retard his recovery.
Rib Fractured by Bullet.
The fourth rib on Col Roosevelt's
right side was fractured by the bullet
which struck him in Milwaukee Mon
day night.
The location of the bullet was def
nitely fixed. II is partly ifnbedded in
the fracture in the fourth rib. The
bullet is much fiattened and spread
out of shape. Several small splinters
of bone project near it,
The fractured rib has caused the
patient pain in breathing.
Indications favor the speedy recov-
cry of Colonel Roosevelt, although a
rise in temperature and pulse late in
the day made his condition for the
time being less favorable.
Not before tomorrow, if all goes
well, will the physicians be prepared
to say that their patient is out of dan
ger. The intervening period will be
required to determine whether blood
poisoning or other complications are
to be feared.
1t was decided not to remove the
bullet, nor to probe for it, until it has
been separated from the tissues sur
rounding it by natural processes.
Colonel Roosevelt spent a quiet,
and apparently care-free day, seem
ingly the least concerned of all.
Three alienists will be engaged by
the District Attorney of Milwaukee to
determine the mental condition of
John Schrank.
The physicians refused to state
whether the flesh was lacerated in the
passage of the bullet.
The bullet was not poisoned when
fired from the gun held by John
Schrank.
The impression grew that Colonel
Roosevelt would be able to do little
or nothing more in the campaign. 1t
is probable he will have to remain in
the hospital at least a week longer.

and unsolicited endorsements to tho

Controller bay affair, where the pro
gressive" congressman promised their
Democratic allies there would be such
"scandalous revelations" The scan
dal was unearthed, all right, but it
proved to be a grim proof that the
"progressives" had actually descended
to the use of forgery, to bolster up
their weak case against the President.
The verdict was unanimously that
President Taft's hands were clean,
and that he had done Just the right
thing. Now the committee investi-
eating the sugar scandals has report
ed to just the same effect. Before the
session ends, the Republicans may be
able to put in their platform a group
of sterling endorsements of the adj
miuistration from the Democratic
"searchlight" committees Of the
House.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1912-02-22
A Few Facts to Consider.

In the year 1899, Augusta adopted
the policy of paying bonds at matu-
rity.
In seven years of Republican adj
ministration, from 1899 to 1906 incln-
sive. the city debt was reduced $76,
500. a
In Mayor Plaisted's inaugural in
1906. he said: THE policy adopted in
1899. and since continued, of paying
the debt as it comes due, should he
adhered to by this city government, :
How well this policy has been "ad-
hered to" since 1906 We would cali To
the attention of the people of Angus
ia. We would present the following
facts for consideration:
If the said policy, adopted by Re,
publicans and carried out for seven
years. then approved by Mayor Plais-
ted. had been continued up to March
/. 1912. the debt would have been
further reduced $1,000, leaving bal
ance TO pay of s1SS,S00, exclusive OF
school bonds and new issues.
When the Democratic administra-
ton was elected in 1906. the bonded
debt was s259.3O0.
On March /, 1912, the debt, exclu-
siye of school bonds and minus the
sinking fund. will be s2T7,s99.92
Thus we have an actual INCREASE
of the bonded debt of $18,59992, in
stead of the DECREASE of $4,000
which would have been made if the
Republican policy of debt paying had
been maintained, DIFFERENCE of
sss,5es.s2.
Having weighed the above indispu-
table facts. consider these, that The
Democratic administration has not
only issued new bonds for highway
work, to the amount of 81 900, but
has, during the past two years, failed
to pay the maturing bonds to the
amount Of $4,000 and has issued re-
funding bonds to take their places.
Democratic leaders have d habit of
TALKING economy" We have q
few more facts to present concerning
the Democratic conception of "econo-
my" in city and State
