cording to announcement made by
Secretary of State Knox the other day.

This is accomplished by the alter

Col. Roosevelt was greatly concerned
lest alarming reports of his condition
reach Mrs. Roosevelt, and as soon as he
arrived at the Auditorium he directed
that message be sent to her giving as
surance that he was in no danger. Be
fore he went to the operating room in
the hospital he dictated a telegram to
Mrs. Roosevelt, giving orders that II the
telegraph office at Oyster Bay were closed
the message was to be taken from New
York to Sycamore Hill by automobile.
His telegram read:

ial one. I think they will find that 1t

where into a cavity of the body: it GER

Taken to- the Hospital.
After his speech. when he went to the
Emergency Hospital he looked calmly
around the. waiting room, opening doors
and keeping on his feet in opposition to
the requests of his friends and the orders
of his physicians.
"a rs. - eh-some drive to that" he
remarked. looking again at the wound
as he stretched out on the operating
table and submitted to the examination
of the physicians.
After the hospital examination was
over and it had been decided to defer
probing for the bullet until the party
arrived in Chicago, the colonel rode in
his motor car to the RAILROAD station,
sitting upright and responding to the
greeting of the crowds that lined the
route. He stepped lightly from the au-

rapidly to the train, some distance from
the street.

It was a monstrous thing that this as
saiiant of Col Roosevelt has done. 1t
was not his fault that Roosevelt Is not
now lying dead instead of living to con-
tinue his campaign. The incident shows
that We are not yet rid in this country
of men of violence, who would take the
law into their own hands and would
shape the affairs of the nation by the re-
sort to bullets. 1t teaches that a strong
er hand must be used in dealing with
the doctrines of anarchy and the preach
ing of irresponsible asitators who carry
murder in their hearts. Meanwhile, the
Inquirer extends it's heartiest congratu-
lations to Col. Roosevelt upon his escape
from the bullet of his assalant, and con-
veys to him its most sincere hope that
the wound will not prove serious. As
