Chicago, Oct. 21.-The advisability
Of permitting Colonel Roosevelt to de-
part this morning for Oyster Bay was
debated at length yesterday and not
until after his physicians had held
consultation last night did they de-
eide definitely that he might do so.
He left for New York at S:0S a. m.
Special precautions for the prOtec-
ton of Roosevelt when he left were
taken by Assistant Chief of Police
Schuetter, who took personal charge
Of the arrangements and led thirty
five uniformed patrOlmen VINO guard
ed Roosevelt en- route from the hos
plual to the railway station.
A force of detectives guarded the
patient until the train had passed the
Indiana state line.
Although Roosevelts condition was
uSSCIIUSu DIS uOIuIdI Ill OuSAOuC IuC
day, it was learned that his wound.
had bled considerably and that he was
suffering from nervous exhaustion.
The ex-presidents physicians in
were to be expected and that there
was in them no cause tor alarm. The
bleeding, it was explained by DR..
Lambert, necessarily accompanied
the discharge of serum, which is part
Of the healing process.
DR.. Lambert also said that any pa
tent who had been in bed for a week
would suffer from nervous exhaustion
and that Roosevelt needed only to
have absolute rest.
There is no cause for serious mis-
giVings, said DR.. Bevan, IF Colonel
Roosevelt is kept quiet"
DR.. Murphy and DR.. Terrell gave
the same opinion.
In spite of the assurances of the
physicians, it was apparent that some
concern was felt as to the effect upon
Roosevelt of day and night on the
train. Mrs. Roosevelt accepted the
judgment of DR.. Murphy and his as
sOciates, although for a time after
her husbands setback Saturday night
she was doubtful whether it would be
safe to attempt the journey so soon.
The physicians evening bulletin
while reporting Roosevelt's condition
DIS good, emphasized the need of abso-
lutte quiet.
The position of the bullet which so
neary cost Roosevelt his life was
fixed with precision for the first time
yesterday. Another X-ray photo
graph, the third, was taken yester-
day and from this it was learned that
the bullet lay on the outside of the
broken rib. Until this photograph
was taken the physicians had been
was on the outside or the inside of the
rib.
I'VE know definitely now that the
bullet lies outside the rib, where it
can do no HARM" said DR.. Lambert
1T lies in such a position that
could reach the spot precisely
through a small ihcision should Roose-
welt desire to have it removed at any
time. 1t is a matter of his own pref
erence."
Colonel Roosevelt said he did not
think he would ever have the bullet
removed.
Mrs. Roosevelt supervised final ar
rangements for her husbands Jour
ney to Oyster Bay and gave orders
tC have his car stocked with his ia
yorite things to eat. DR.. Lamber
and DR.. Terrell, who have charge O
the colonel during the trip, said tina
they would try to keep MIN in bee
most of the time.
On arrival in New York, the TIVE
cars which will be occupied by Roose
welt and his party will be switched tt
the tracks of the Long Island rail
read and sent direct to Oyster Bay
SO that the colonel will not be oblige
TO leave his stateroom until he get
into the automobile which will tax
him to Sycamore Hill.
Once back at home, there will b
little relaxation of the strict regime
of the physicians for a week or tie
days. Roosevelt believes, however
that he will be able to speak in Ne,
York Oct. 30.
He hopes to make one speech t
summarize all of his reasons fC
seeking support for the Progressiv
party, and has begun to plan an ad
dress which he can deliver in twent
minutes.
