Chicago, Oct 18.-Throughout a
day of unbroken calm, Col. Roosevelt
lay in his bed in Mercy hospital in
Chicago with virtually no variation
of his condition. 1t was day of wait
ing, with the ever-present possibility
of complications, but with lessened
fears on the part of those who were
watching over the wounded man. He
seemed in his almost normal condi-
ton, but there was no relaxation in
the strict regime, and his physicians
said that he was by no means out of
danger. Col Roosevelt's physicians
were discussing last night the length
of time it will be necessary for the
colonel to remain in the hospital. 1t
was thought it might be safe for him
to leave for Oyster Bay OF Monday or
Tuesday if all goes WELL but not even
tentative decision was reached.
The clinical record for the day
showed some variations in tempera-
ture, pulse and respiration, but only
such changes, the physicians said, as
were normal in the case of a person

A PUTNAM MEMORIAL
Suggestion in Recognition of Recent
Gift to Bennington.


October 16, 1912.
To the Editor of The Banner
1t was with pleased surprise and
gratitude that the people of the vii
lage received the Banners announce
ment, last night, of Mr.. Putnam S
splendid gift.
AS the gift is perpetual in its ma
ture, donated not only to this but fu-
ture generations so long as water
runs and sun shines, would it not be
most fitting for the village to show
it's grateful appreciation in some
permanent way, a monumental n.y.
drant, for instance, placed on the
Putnam House corner and suitably
inscribed, or something of the sort to
remind us and our descendants of
what has been done for us?
Another question worthy of con-
sideration. Is it not rather absurd
TO ask man to pay for a cup of cold
water from his own spring? If the
village accepts this munificent gift,
as of course it will, it should do so
with the proviso that Mr. Putnam, his
brother and son, are to pay no water
tax whatever so long as it may please
them to honor the village by main.
tanning their residence here.
The time to consider these mat.
tiers will be at the special village
meeting and it is hoped this phase
of the question will not be over.
