Legislative Notes.

In spite of rlmors as to the contest
over the seat of Mr. Kellam of Guild
hail. no filing has to date been made with
the committee on elections, although ii
is a fact that considerable printed mat
ter has been fled with Secretary of State
Bailey, bearing on the matter Mr. Kel-
lam has taken the oath and is acting on
committees. The statement of the case
is that in marking their ballots eight
persons marked them for Kellam's oppo-
nent on the first ballot by marking not
in the margin but between the residence
OF the nominee aud the designation of his
party. which. according to previous like
Instances. has been held by courts as
showing the intent of the voter. On the
second ballot Mr.. kellam was elected
BY two majority The ballots marked as
above stated we're not ruled out. The
members of the board of civil authority.
who were present. were equally divided
a. to whether they should be ruled out.
and while they were endeavoring to
agree the constable came along and stat
ed that il they could not agree he should
order another balloting. but agreement
was reached, resulting in Mr. kellam's
election.

Col. Roosevelt Today Thought
Of Returning to Campaign
NEARLY NORMAL CONDITION
His Temperature, Pulse and Respiration
Were Quite Satisfactory Considering
That He Carried Bullet of the
Would-Be Assassin.

Chicago, Oct l7.-Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt, whose life was attempted al
Milwaukee Monday, already is feeling
much better and he has shown such an
improvement that on awakening to-day
he began planning for continuation
OF his campaign trip. Most of last night
he spent in restful sleep.
At six o'clock this morning his tenn
perature, pulse and respiration indicated
practically normal condition. He or
dered his usual breakfast, which con-
sisted of three soft-boiled eggs, bacon,
butteretl toast and pot of tea.
Mrs. Roosevelt, who occupies an ad-
joining room, visited her husband once
during the night when she was awakened
by the nurse who was taking a clinical
record. Mrs. Roosevelt remained only a
short time as the colonel assured her
that he was feeling just fine.
Description of the Wound.
A description of the wound given by
DR.. w. B. MeCauley is the first to be
given to the public by the surgeons He
said that the bullets path through the
muscles of the chest s lacerated to some
extent by the battered lead. but that
there was little confusion and no exten-
sive area of bruised and extravasated
surrounding tissue.
"The bullet did not mushroom as
might have been expected" said DIR. Nc
Cauley "For that reason ii cut a COM
paratively small hole in the skin and
did not reduce large portion of the
nearby tissues to pulp, as is the case III
d soft bullet that mushrooms in animal
tissue after it hits bone. | think the
bundle of papers in Colonel Roosevelts
pocket checked it and the spectacle case
for some reason failed to spread the
bullet much.
Wound Clean One.
"The wound is about big enough to
put your finger in at the surface, and it
does not appear to get very much big
ger. / would call it a very clean wound.
The skin is torn at the surface in a rag
ged way, but not badly, and there is
little brusng.
"There is not sign of suppuration in
the wound. The flesh is in good con-
dition and seems to be healing without |
complication. If there was pus form
ing deep in the wound, we would know
II at once by an unusual rise of tenn
perature."
DR.. McCauley added that it is now
certain from the Nray pictures that the
bullet has not entered or injured the
pleural cavity, removing grave possi-
bility in the case.
Not to Remove Bullet at Present
The six doctors, who made the most
extended survey of Colonel Roosevelt's
condition attempted since his arrival at
the Mercy hospital. found his condition
this morning as near normal as a wound
cd mans could be, and renewed their
assurance that there was no longer cause
for worry, They also announced posi-
lively that the colonel could not leave
the hospital until next week at least.
The doctors said the case was progress
ing so favorably that unless complica-
tions occurred, the bullet will not be
removed at present

ENEMY SEEKS LIFE
OF NOTED SOLO|S1

Cincinnati, Oct. 10. Through the
agency of candy which had been dip
ped in a solution Of bichloride of mer-
curry, usually deadly poison, an un-
Miss Isabel Sparkes, a prominent So
loist, who lives at 2511 Auburn av-
enue.
Miss Sparkes ate three pieces Of
the candy with the result that she
was taken deathly i'll. Her life was
saved by prompt medical aid. Miss
Sparkes sister also partook of a
piece OF. the candy and was made ILL.,
II was several weeks ago that Miss
Sparkes received the candy and let
ter which the sender mailed to the
newspapers.
The letter, written with rubber
stamp, follows:
Tried to end life.
Miss Isabel Sparkes, soprano of
Christ church choir, has recovered af-
ter taking poison.
d. CULBERSON.
Miss Sparkes has recovered from
the effects of the poison and she is in
constant fear that her enemy might
take other means of injuring her.
In order to trap the sender the box
OF candy was turned over to the fed
eral authorities by the physician.
Miss sparkes disclaimed any knowl'
edge OF an enemy who could possibly
desire to take hero life or follow up
the attempt with an effort to circu'
late a sensational story involving hen
name. Inspector Keys has had his
force working on the case for nearly
two weeks since the candy was turn
ed over to his once by Misc sparkes

WILL ENOEAvOR TO
INTRODUCE HEARSY
TESTIMONY IN CASE
County Attorney Thinks II Admissible
In Preliminary Hearing
OF lnIows.

The novel demand that the court
permit Introduction Of hearsay testi-
mony as evidence at the preliminary
hearing of Mr.. and Mrs. G. A. In
low when they appear before the JUS
tice court this week will probably be
made by the county attorney.
The necessity for making this de-
mand arises over the lack OF direct
evidence to connect the accused with
the murder of Eddie White. Hear
say testimony, it is contended in
preliminary hearing when 1t is only
necessary to bind the accused over
and give the authorities opportunity
to secure direct evidence necessary
at a regular trial.
II is a fundamental principle OF
court procedure that hearsay evil
dence is not competent or permissible
in any trial for a crime. This Is prob
badly the first time in the history OF
local court procedure that this issue
has been raised, but for some days
past the county attorney and his as
sistants have been looking up auth
critics on the subject and they de-
clare they have found supreme court
decisions unfolding their contention
that 1t is admissible at the prelimln.
airy hearing.
An eastern case has been found in
which the courts held that presenta'
ton of hearsay evidence at the pre-
liminary hearing was competent. On
this case the title of which has not
been divulged, and upon advice OF
legal authorities Of this county and
state, the county attorney will base
his motion to the justice that hearsay
evidence be permitted.
The county authorities being decid
eddy busy yesterday on Bingham
strike matters and other business, nj
opportunity was afforded them to tall
to the Inlows in regard to the muir
der case. As result the prisoner
had a quiet day, broken only once
by an important event-the first Wis
it to the parents since their incar
ceration of their little girl, Geneviev'
Inflow, aged about ten years.
She was taken to the county jai
by Mr.. and Mrs. Schneider and Mis-
Simmons, the latter of whom has hal
charge of little Genevieve for severa
days past.
Mr.. and Mrs. Inflow were taken iron
their cells into the office of the jail
where the child was waiting to Sc
her papa and mamma. The child, fol
tunately did not sense the position G
her father and mother, but both tn
latter were visibly affected. Arrange
ments were made that the girl shoul
be kept and cared for by Miss Sin
mons. The murder case was not me
toned.
1t is the general opinion now anon
county authorities that, If Mrs. II
low was involved in. the killing
White it was without any knowlede
on her part prior to the actual az
of killing that murder was planne
or intended.
