which can be averted."
News OF Col Roosevelt's shooting
reached Detroit shortly after 8
O'Clock. and within an hour everyone
who was within the mile circle knew
of the attempt on the ex-president 8
life.
Newsboys rushed to the theaters,
and after the. first act the audiences
streamed to the doors TO learn all
they could of the tragedy. Attention
was divided during the rest OF tho
play between what was happening on
the stage and what the extras re
vealed.
The hotels were equally excited
Crowds gathered in the lobbies. and
strangers discussed the attempted as
sassination, from every aspect.
The county Progressive headquar
ters sent a telegram TO the colonel
expressing horror, sympathy and hope
for speedy recovery.
The news spread from lip to ftp
and was carried by telephone wires
Throughout the city. The telegraph
and telephone Offices were kept busy
till long after midnight. answering
questions concerning the colonefs
condition.
Truman II. Newberry. who Vas sec
retary of .the navy for short time
under Roosevelt, received a message
from Mrs. Roosevelt, asking for a
true account OF her husbands condi-
ton. Mrs. Roosevelt feared that II
might be worse than had been report
ed. and that the truth was being keps
from her. Mr.. Newberry replied THAI
the reports he had received bore no
cause for, alarm.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Oct. 15.-Ds
spite the wound In his chest, Col
Roosevelt insisted on speaking before
an audience at the Auditorium here
last night.
He had hardly begun to speak wher
an elderly lady In the crowd arose
in her seat and said: Colonel Roose
Welt, please go back and let the doc
tors dress your wound"
With a snap of his teeth, the col
onel replied: Dear madame, It IL
very nice of you, but l am not hurt
If you saw me on horseback, you

Philip j. Roosevelt, cousin of the
colonel, also interrupted him.

as he criticised Wilson, LaFollette
and the platforms Of the two old par
ties. ...
The arraignment of his antagonists
continued for an hour and a half, but
towards the end, as the speaker grew
weaker, from loss OF blood, his tone
changed and he interpolated a new
phrase into his parting sentence-an
appeal to his hearers to join with him
''in kindness, charity and generosity
and charity to bring nearer the day
when social and industrial justice
shall be achieved in this great land
OF ours" '..
Then, having finished his speech,
the colonel submitted to the entreaties
cf his friends and was taken from the
hail.
Col. Roosevelt arrived at Miiwau-
.kee shortly before o'clock last night.
II had been planned for him to take
dinner on his special car, but he
yielded to the entreaties Of a local
committee and went to the Gilpatrick
hotel.
After dinner he was escorted to an
automobile which was 10 take him to

Philip J. Roosevelt, Ebert Martin and
Col. Cecil Lyon, members Of the col

custom. allowed him to enter the ma.

All had followed the colonel into
the automobile and Roosevelt was
standing in the tonneau for a last
greeting to the crowd, when the shot
rang out. The Bull Moose leader
swayed slightly, but recovering him

4 INDIAN SUMMER SMILES
ON FENWAY PARK TO-DAY
Field and Weather Was Never
Better for a Worlds
ti. Series Game

BOSTON, Oct. ia day OF typica
football weather greeted the Red So,
and the Giants at 8 o'clock this morn
ing. The sky was clear as crysta

gradually gave way toa perfect Indiar
summer warmth as the sun thaweC

never was in better shape for a game
Matthewson and Wood were the early
morning selections.
A battle OF youth and strength
against experience and cunning was
slated when Wood for the Sox. and
Mathewson for the Giants should op
pose each other.
Once before had Matty stacked uI
against the same combination ot
youth and strength and then he had
met defeat. But II was not at all his
fault. The breaks were not with the
Old Master.
Those who pin their faith on the
Giants, believe that with luck evenly
breaking, the craftiness OF the vet
Gran will prevail against the superior
SArength OF the kid pitcher. They say
that the Giants are now about due to
get to Wood and make kindling OF
him.
Those who are pulling for the Red
Sox to end the agony now point to
the fact that Wood has twice defeat
ad the Giants already, and that he can
do so again.
Today's battle with these men lead
F. Ing their clans. ought to TO be the
h greatest struggle of the series. There
will be a fight every minute. unless
some turn OF luck breaks for either

cause Of the Mckinley dream and his
belief that Roosevelt was menace

Il began to think OF Roosevelt as a
menace when he cried thief!

Schrank. Il looked upon his plan TO
start third party as a danger to the
country. My knowledge OF history,
gained through much reading, con-
vinced me that Roosevelt was en-

With the rise in temperature comes
a demand for coo dresses. A wis
woman will make ample provision
for humid days when the unlined
frocks of thinnest material afford
coolness n comfort.
Heading the list among the suitable
materials for this purpose are the
dotted and embroidered swisses, sheer
null, plain or embroidered batiste,
cotton wolfe, striped or checked; lawn
and dimity. The last named ma
~terials may be had in attractive plain.
Powered or striped designs. All IF
these materials launder successfully
and are desirable from every point
of view.
Frocks of this type are displayed in
the shops at very reasonable prices.
One OF blue-and-white striped
dimity had a bodice trimmed with
frills of lace. The round neck line
was finished by a collar of white null
edged with a pleating of the lace,
which also trimmed the broad turn
back cuffs.
The narrow gored skirt had Ar.
eight-inch band of the material En-
ished above and below with plcat-
ings of the lace. This frock was
dainty and cool looking. designed Is
p~ecially for July and August days.
Very attractive is a dress OF lawn
in a pretty design of white dotted
with pink rosobuds. The bodice had
a SQUARE yoke of yalenciennes ace
finished with a collar of baby irish
crochet. The cuffs wer of the same
lace.
The skirt was slightly full a
trimmed with six rows of narrow
Valenciennes lace.
Cotton wolfe, both white and col
ored, is a popular material this sea-
son Many of the imported models
are fashioned of this soft. graceful
material. 1t adapts itself beautifully
to any design and is serviceable. For
tub 'frocks il is especially satisfac-
tory. 1t does not shrink and is dur
able.
Attractive and summer-like was a
frock of plain white wolfe. The bodice
had a quare yoke of cluny insertion.
Bands of embroidered wolfe were

shoulders. The waistline was slis.ktly
raised and defined by a narrow band
of insertion. From this fell the skirt.
which was slightly full and tucked at
the top. Two bands of insertion and
two of embroidered wolfe trimmed the
hem of the skirt.
Dotted swiss is always coo and
fresh looking. Each time il energies
fresh from the laundry it appears like
a new frock. 1t combines beautifully
with lace or any variety of swiss em-
broidery.
Decidedly pretty was a frock FASH
Toned of this material. The bodice
had a square yoke of Irish crochet
lace. Below this were tiny pinch
tucks running in vertical lines. The
short sleeves were tucked at the arm
holes and above the cuff, which was
of Irish lace.
Pinch tucks we're used over the hips
and across the back, producing
plain panel effect in front.
Tucked bands of material and Irish
lace insertion trimmed the skirt
nearly to the knees. This frock 10
plain and cool yet appropriate for any
occasion. Its simple elegance makes
one appear well dressed.
The pretty iower-sprigged lawns
make lovely, inexpensive dresses for
midsummer. Pretty patterns nay be
had for Il and Is cents a yard. When
combined with lace and embroidery
this material leaves nothing to be
desired.
Lawn with a white background and
dotted with tiny rose sprays was used
for a fascinating little frock for a
young girl. The yoke and sleeves
were of shadow lace, while the bod
ice, back and front. was tucked.
Three broad tucks were stitched in
the skirt and below these a band Of
lace finished the hem. The Rirdlo
