 FEELS BULLY

Chicago, Oct. 19-col Roosevelt
 spent the most comfortable night since | "bulky''
 His statement was borne out, this tlInes by the clinical record of the morning. which was:
 Pulse 7S temperature 9S and respira- ton IS, all being normal The Physicians are agreed that the colonel has safely passed the crisis of his trouble and that every hour will now find him more rapidly advancing toward complete recovery Noon, yesterday, was the point to and from which the doctors made their
 calculations- Up to that time the cot-l of conjecture as the bullet wound was
 not old enough to warrant any pre- clse forecast as to what would be
 ness on>-t the End night was a cause of alarm in spite of the fact that pre- pnyiecthc serum had been injected in- tty of bloodpoisoning and every other precautfon had been taken to forestaiI
 the paeural affection likely to develop. The confident manner of the phvtsi- clans and their statemen ts that the patient was in a, most favorable con ditlon, today, created the definite be- the danger mark
 Last night, the colonel talked with
 Mrs. Roosevelt and read until II 80 o'clock, when he went to eleen and l the nap continued until o'clock tI1is i morning. At that hour he awoke for
 a; few moments and dropped off again, sleeping sound1y until o'clock He ordered the usual breakfast and l ate heartily. Roosevelt was notified that Schrank, the man who shot him, l had made a will in which he claimed l the bullet and requested that it be giv- ] en to the New York Historical society. | T don't think such claim will hold ing to law, when a. man sends let ter to another man that letter belongs
 to the sender until it reaches the reel
 away from the recipient. l Now. that bullet belonged to
 scl1rank when it was in his revolver l and while it was it's way to me i but after 1t reached me it was mine Therefore, I have a personal interest
 in that bullet and intend to keep it'' | Col. Roosevelt apparently has pass | ed the point where he feels impatience | toward the would-be assassin as an in | stru9nent which checked hts campai ign | He expressed a desire to leave the hos | pita1, Monday if possible, Tuesday in any event, and said that he hoped to ] De able to get into the campaign dur ing its last week.
 | But that is up to the doctors and 1 Mrs. Roosevelt he said
 l The uncertainty, today, in regard to
 mova1 is caused by the doctors state
 ment that there is still some chance of 1 of a development of pneumonia il, 1 case of too early exposure. If such secondary infection should ! occur, it will probably be confined to | a. small area. However, this would 1 result in a setback and the recovery 1 of the colonel would be delayed a few days.
 1 The coIoners attitude. today indicat- 1 ed that the words of the medical men l had at least impressed him with the serious results which might follow a too early exposure After a conver-
 sation with Drs. Murphy, Bevan and Terrell, Dr. Lambert. the colone1'e s4S@
 main and go east with the patient
 Lambert is lung specialist and proh ably knows more about the colonel constitution than any other doctor and in case of pneumonia kindred a tacks the colonel wants him on tn
 spot.
