indianapolis. oct. 16.-Asserting that the
recent attack on Colonel Roosevelt at Mil
waukee should not be used by his sup
porters as a shield to protect their poll
cies from political attacks, William j.
Bryan read a prepared statement to his
audience during his speech here tonight
to bear out his assertion His statement
follows:
We are embarrassed in the discussion Of
national issues by the fact that one Of
the Presidential candidates has been made
the victim OF a murderOus assault.
We deplOTe as deeply as do Mrr
ROosevelts supporters the act Of mad
man who has temporarily disabled him
for campaign work. We denOunCe as bit
terly as Mr.. ROOsevelts supporters such
a resort 20 violence, even by one who IS
bereft OF his reason. We sympathiZe with
ly as his supporters do, and We wish IS
earnestly as they for his speedy recoy-
cry. Bur neither he nor they will ask
for suspension Of activity on the part
Of Mr.. Roosevelt's opponents so long as
his friends continue to present his side
on national issues.
Maniac No Arbiter in Crisis.
The question before the country must
be decided by the sane. a maniac cannot
be an aTbiter in such a crisis. 1 am sur
prlsed that the friends Of Mr. Roosevelt {
should attempt TO make use Of this incl
dent In mis- behalf. II cannot be charged
TO the Democratic, party; II cannot be
fairly charged 70 any party. The sugges-
ton that the assaila2t was led to to make max,
cism is a far-fetched one, and, even II u
could be shown that an unbalanced mind
was influenced by criticism, II Is no more
tust TO demand a suspension of the dis
cCssion OF pending problems on this ac-
count than II would be to reject religion
because some have gone insane on that
subject.
/ have been careful reader OF the
papers since last June, and | am quite
sure that the Taft papers have been no
more bitter I'm their assaults upon Mr..
Roosevelt than the Roosevelt papers have
been in their assaults upon Mr.. Tart. And
neither side has attacked the other with
more viru!ence than both have attacked
the Democrats in campaigns past.
"As Bitter Things Were Said Of Me-"

against me by both the friends of Mr
Toft and the friends Of Mr.. Roosevelt. as

supporters must not use tils attdCh 10
nrotect themselves and their position
from Just criticism. The brave soldiers
on battlefield do not use the wounded

Chicago, oct. 16.-The bullet wound
inflicted in Theodore Roosevelt's chest
at Milwaukee Monday night, it offici-
ally was announced tonight, is heal
ing normally without infection. The
statement that no complications have
shown themselves was made after a
day during which the first successful
! X-ray picture Of the wound in the
| coloners chest was examined by the
surgeons.
'The fact developed that the would-be
fourth rib. The missile remains i'm
bedded, apparently, in the bone. The
! fracture, however. II is stated will not
affect the treatment in any way, but
will be allowed to heal untrested, as
will the wound.
A rise in temperature and pulse late
in the day however, made his condi-
tion for the time being somewhat less
favorable. The colonels temperature
went to 90, but soon receded to 9S.S.
The first X-ray plate which definitely
shows the bullet in Colonel Roosevelt's
chest was developed late this after
noon. The bullet is shown partly inn
bedded in the fracture I'm the fourth
rib. about four inches from the
sternum The bullet is much fiattened
and spread out OF shape. IL is crushed
into the upper edge Of the rib Several
small splinters Of bone project near t.
The radiograph shows an extraordi-
nary spread and arch to the uninjured
ribs, indicating the unusual size of the
coloners lungs and development OF his
chest.
Position Of the Bullet.
The position of the bullet is at the
lower corner OF right-angled triangle
the apex OF which is in the middle OF
the sternum, perpendicularly opposite
the missile, and the other corner OF
which Is the supra -sternal notch. Wires
laid on Colonel Roosevelt's bare chest
TO form a guiding line on the plate show
the exact location of the bullet with
reference to the ribs and sternum.
When asked tonight II the wound
wcs lacerated, DR.. Terrell, who had been
left in charge by DR.. Murphy and DIR.
Bevan, said.
This is point on which we have
given no statement, and will not give
any at present. cannot say anything
as 10 the character of the wound.
THE bullet ranged inward and UP af-
ter Il struck the colonel right beside
the nipple on his right breast" Or. Ter
rell added. Its course probably was
affected by the objects through which
n passed The radiograph does not
clearly show its exact shape at pres
ent"
According to the examinations, the
bullet is from four TO Ave inches Mellow

out of broken crates and barrels. As the
water was cold and deep in the creek we
did not venture to embark there, so we
lugged our wood to the other piece OF
