Chicago, Oct. 16.-The first X-ray
plate which definitely showed the bull
,Iet in Col. Roosevelt's chest W&s de-
vel2ped late this afternoon. The Dul-
let is Shown partly imbedded in frac-
ture in the fourth rib, about four
inches from the sternum. The bullet
is much hattsned and spread out OF
shape. It is crushed into the upper
edge of the rib. Several smaller pieces
of bone project near it, The radio
graph shows an extraordinary spread
and arch to the uninjured ribs, indi-
~qting the unusual size Of the colonel's
ng and development Of his chest.
The position of the bullet is at the
= ar corner Of a right angle trian-
-. the apex of which is in the middle
e ternm, perpendicularly opposite
the missile, and the other corner of
whch is the supra-sternal notch.
Wi.es laid on Col. Roosevelts bare
chest to form a guiding line on the
plate show the exact location Of the
bullet with reference to the ribs and
'sternum.
Won't Tell.
The surgeons in charge Of the case
from the first have refused to state
in any manner whether the flesh was
lacerated in the passage of the bullet
no information On this point can be
obtained from the plate.
Asked tonight, wh:n the radiograph
was finished, if the wound was lacer-
ated, DR.. Terrell, who had been left
in charge by Or. Murphy and Dr.. Bev-
an, said:
This IS point on which we have
given 10 statement and will not give
any at present. I can not say any
.hing as 10 the character of the wound.
",The bullet ranged inward and up
ward after It struck the colcnels right
side beside the nipple Oh his right
breast" Or. Terrell said. Its course
probably was affected by the objects
through which it passed. The radio
~~h does not clearly show its exact
1T present. According to exam
inatio4s, the bullet is from four to
inches below the surface and IN
reaching its present position made a
slanting wound from six to seven
inches long"

The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-06-14
Getting Ready for Baltimore

The Birmingham Underwood March ing club will leave for Baltimore Sat urday night, June 22-a week from tomorrow. While each member of the Birmingham party will pay his own expenses, something like S5000 must be raised to pay for music and decor ations.
 Every large city in the United States will send a marching club to Baltimore, and each club will be headed by large band. As Birning- ham has the honor of being the home of the most distinguished democratic statesman in this country today-the home of the great party leader who is practically certain of being the demo- cratic nominee for President, it must be exceptionally well represented in the convention city.
 The Underwood Marching club is full of enthusiasm and it will be headed by band that will compare favorably with any of the famous bands which will be heard in Baltimore. It will require about $3000 to pay for the music alone and it should be easy to raise the money. President Oscar C.. Turner of the Marching club, assisted by finance committee of prominent citizens, will start tomorrow morning to canvass for the necessary funds.
 This is Birmingham's great oppor- tunity. The democrats that gather in Baltimore will naturally expect Bir- mingham to make fine showing, and the crowd will not be disappointed.
 The prosperous business men of this prosperous Birmingham have al- ways been generous in contributing to every good cause. They will re- spond readily to President Turner's appeal. The entire amount needed for the Baltimore trip should be sub- scribed before noon tomorrow.
