Dresser. who had come TO the conclu.

Idaho Senator Passes Away In Wash
irctor, .. c.

Washington, d. C.-Cnited States
Senator Weldon Brinton Hepburn, OF
Idaho. died at his apartments here
Thursday night after q lingering i'll
ness. He was GO years old and had
been in the senate nine years.
A complication of diseases involving
the heart and kidneys caused the sen.
ator's death. He had not been very
well since last March, when he col.
lapsed after delivering a speech in
the senate on the arbitration treaties,
In spite of the doctors warning that
the effect might cost him his life.
Several weeks ago. apparently gaining
strength after a serious relapse. the
senator and Mrs. Hepburn made pre-.
parations for a trip west. Another
relapse followed, however and since
then the patient had been growing
steadily weaker.

COLONEL IS BETTER
ROOSEVELT RECOVERING so RAP.
IDLY PLANS ARE MADE TO
QUIT HOSPITAL.
HIS CONDITION NOW NORMAL
Examination Discloses That Bullet

Find No Evidence Of Infection
Will Resume Campaign.

Chicago, Oct. lS.-Theodore Roose-
yelt appears to be on the rapid road
10 complete recovery from the wound
inflicted by John Schrank's bullet and
his condition is practically normal.
For the first time since he was
taken TO the hospital the physicians
In attendance are able TO make n
definite statement Wednesday that
the wound is healing as well as could
be hoped for by the most optimistic.
They added that there has been no in.
lection and no complications have TAX
IN place. To this was supplemented
the declarations that there was no dan.
ger In Colonel Roosevelt's case, as
there was in that OF President McKin.
ley, OF a sudden and unexpected
change.
So hopeful were the physicians and
the members of the Roosevelt family,
that plans have been made for the
removal OF the colonel from the hos
pital on Saturday. The arrangements
call for him to go directly to his
home at Oyster Bay, where he will re-
main quietly until late in the cam.
paign.
Colonel Roosevelt and his friends
hope that he will be able to make
three speeches more before the cam.
paign ends. They have practically
decided that he will make one-to be
delivered in New York city.

that the fourth rib. against which the
bullet finally lodged, was broken by
the impact. The ends Of the fracture
were not separated, and II is believed
that the rib will grow together with
no trouble. The colonel's chest under
the spectacle case which detected the
bullet and broke its force Is now a
great black bruise.
Mrs. Roosevelt and the attending
physicians were much relieved over
the receipt OF a telegram from Mil.
waukee saying that chemical analysis
of ~scrapings from the bullets left in
the would-be assassin's revolver dis
closed no evidence Of poisoning. The
guinea pigs which were inoculated
with a solution Of the scrapings are
still living and show no symptoms OF
poisoning.
Mrs. Roosevelt, with Theodore. Jr..
and Miss Ethel Roosevelt, arrived on
the Twentieth Century Limited. The
party was driven directly to the hos
pital. The son and daughter re-
NAMED for N short time only. but Mrs.
Roosevelt at once assumed charge Of
the sickroom.
The colonel has spoken OF Schrani.
his assailant in Milwaukee. but once
since he came to Chicago. To friends
he said: Il don't know the man and
never heard of him, His name might
as well be C~zolgoth o. anything else
as far as I would know"
To one OF his intima'ss he expressed
the opinion that the man was n para
noiac on the subject Of the third term.
