ROOSEVELT, WOUNDED
BY FANATIC, IMPROVES
BULLET FINDS MARK IN CHEST.
BUT WOUND is NOT
SERIOUS.
Candidate Is Forced to Take Ress
N+'m Strenuous ca"p''s" and is
lnjoyins Brief Respite From His
Strenuous Labors.

CHICAGO. Oct. 17.-The bullet
wound inflicted in Theodore Roose-
velt's chest at Milwaukee Monday
night, 1t was announced tonight for
the first time, is healing normally
without infection.
The statement that no complica-
tions have shown themselves was
made after day during which the
first successful X-ray picture which
has been made Of the wound was ex-
amined by the surgeons.
A description of the wound was
given tonight by DIR. w. B. McCauley
the first to be made public by the sur
geons. DR.. McCauley said the bullets
path through the muscles of the chest
Is lacerated to some extent, but there
is little confusion and no extensive
area of bruised and extravasated sur
rounding tissue
"The bullet did not mushroom as
might have been expected" said Dr..
McCauley. For that reason it cut a
comparatively small hole in the skin
and did not reduce large portion Of
the nearby tissues to pulp, as is the
case in a soft bullet that mushrooms
in animal tissue after it hits a bone
l think the bundle of papers checked
1t and the spectacle case for some
reason failed to spread the bullet
much"
Able to Talk and Laugh
There was little in the appearance
of Colonel Roosevelt to indicate that
he was not in his usual health. His
face has not lost it's color and as he
sat propped up with pillows he moved
about easily and apparently was free
from pain. AS he talked he used hts
characteristic gestures, although with
perhaps less vigor than usual and At
times his laugh could be heard in the
corridor outside.
Relieved from politics for the first
time in months he seemed to enjoy
his care-free state and to be deter
mined to make his stay in the hos
pital an enjoyable vacation. His three
children who are in Chicago dropped
in to see him three times during the
day. Mrs. Roosevelt would not per
NIT them to remain long, lest her hus-
band tire himself.
