Oyster Bay, N. Y. Oct. 22-Colonel
Roosevelt and family, accompanied by
two physicians, arrived here today. !
Tae colonel was fully dressed and
over his street clothes he wore the
htkvy army overcoat he had on the
evening he was shot. The hole in the
right breast was not distinguishable
ct any distance, but. those who were
neat. him could plainly see the small
puncture.

came from Chicago with the party re

n. Lambert said the colonel would
be allowed to speak for half an houl
at Madison Square Garden Oct. 80.
ST you allow him to speak for hall

suggested.
That's all right about that" said
DR. Lambert 81 will be there and I'll
riux the bell on him."

The colonel appears to be in pretty
good shape and shows no i'll effects

con3id derable sleep on the train. DR.

9Ntlen the train rolled into the station,
and the colonel, who formerly had
never missed an opportunity of address
sing the crowds, shut off his disap.
pointment by passing most of the time
in sleep. Only once, at Lima, Ohio,
was there an attempt at any demon
stration.s Colonel Cecil Lyon held up
his hand in warning and the scattering
cheers were hushed at once.
That Colonel Roosevelt felt very
keenly his inability to greet the
crowds was shown by the following
statement which he gave out: Colo
mel Roosevelt expressed his regret that
while passing through Ohio on the
day on which he was to have spoken
here, he is unable to meet the SYM
pathetic friends who gather at differ
ent stops to greet him. He would like
to take advantage of his opportunity
to ask his friends throughout the
state to give their support heartily to
the Progressive ticket, and particular
" to Arthur L. Garford, the Progress
sive candidate for governor, whom
Colonel Roosevelt esteems as exactly
the type of man whom all good citi-
zens should most heartily welcome to
leadership in this great fight for high
ideals"
Elaborate precautions were taken
by Pittsburgh to guard the colonel
when he passed through the city.
Fifty police and twenty detectives
jointly guarded the car in which he
was riding. Detectives were scattered
sbout the railroad station and the gate
openings on the platform were guard
ed by police and detectives.
At each of the three necessary
stops, Allegheny station, Union sta.
ton and East Liberty, the train was
surrounded by fifty policemen.
