Sits Up In Bed.
Sitting up in his bed and taking
O toast, Col Roosevelt this afternoon
read a volume Of essays. He ex'
pressed regret, It was said that his
managers had decided to have him
give up the rest Of his campaign trip.
This was the word brought out by
Medill Mccormick as he left the Col.
onel's room:
Col Roosevelt is still in active
charge Of his campaign" said Mr. Nc
Cormick, "thou0' 1t has been decid.
ed to his regret that his speaking
tour be abandoned. He expressed
the wish that he be permitted to talk
with o. F. Davis at the hospital this
afternoon.
Taken To Hospital.
Col. Theodore Roosevelt, with the
bullet still in his chest, fired last night
by John Schrank in Milwaukee. was
taken to Mercy hospital here today af-
ter a consultation of physicians, who
ordered second X-ray examination
with a view to an immediate opera
ton. Il was planned at first to allow
the patient to rest in his special car
in a quiet part Of the railway yards,
but after he had been examined by
DR.. J. B. Murphy the plan was We
toed and he was hurried away in an
ambulance. The colonel has declared
that he would not enter an ambulance
but would ride in an automobile and
would walk to and from the vehicle.
However, the colonel did ride in the
ambulance. He walked slowly into
the hospital, leaning on Dr. Murphy's
arm.
A number Of persons were lined up
outside the buildings waiting for him
and he took off his hat with his free
hand in answer to their subdued
greetings.
Walked To Ambulance.
Pending the examination, the ply
sicians would not make a prognosis
OF the case, but speed and anxiety
to get him at once to hospital were
the order of proceedings after the
physicians consultation. The colonel
walked to the ambulance swathed in
his army overcoat and at once lay
down on the couch prepared for him.
The colonel slept during the trip
from Milwaukee after he was shot in
his automobile outside the Gilpatrlck
hotel as he was starting to make his
scheduled speech in that city. His
refusal to cancel the speech, his de
livery of an hour and half address
and his walk to and from his motto,
car in Milwaukee all the time will
the bullet still in the wound in hi
right side, were regarded by his ply
sicians as imprudent in the extreme
but the colonel insisted upon havini
his own way and minimized the dan
ger and pain Of the wound. His blood
soaked garments and bullet pierce,
eye glass case and bundle of paper
were the chief evidence on the trail
that anyone had been wounded.
The train was met by local phys

was fairly comfortable and in littl
pain, but the doctors at once let
be known that vigorous measure
were to be taken to prevent compl
cations. The wound is over the tent
rib and is three inches deep. TIL
bullet is at the bottom Of 1t and mus
be removed at once, according to DR.
Murphy.
The colonel was taken to suite o
the third floor and prepared for tn
X.ray examination which was to
made at once by DR.. George HochreIl
Besides DR.. Murphy, DIR. Philip Kre'
