Bullet Located in
Fleshy Part of Breast.

The X-ray examination lasted for
several minutes After IT was conclud-
ed, the surgeons Issued no statement,
and the first word from the room of the
former president was brought by a
nurse who had been present when the
examination was made. The nurse said
that the, bullet had been located in the
fieshy part of the right breast, and
was about an inch and a half below
the right nipple The nurse said the
bullet had not penetrated the walls Of
the chest, but was lodged in the mus
cular tissue.
She further stated that the surgeons
had decided to perform an operation AT
once
The result of the examination as re-
ported by the nurse corresponds with
that made by DR. Joseph Bloodgood. of
Johns Hopkins university who was one
of the surgeons called in attendance
while the colonel was still in Milwau-
lee. Dr. Bloodgood asserted the bullet
was resting between the ninth and tenth
ribs and lay just below the right nip
pie.
After the examination the following
telegram was sent to Mrs. Roosevelt in
New York by Ebert Martin, private
Stenographer to the colonel

The start was made at 6:15 o'clock.
It was twelve minutes later when he
reached the South Side hospital,
The ambulance drove east in Ken
zie street to State street. then turned
south and crossed the Chicago river
into the Loop. At Randolph street the
cavalcade turned east again, Then the
ambulance. a gasoline driven affair,
turned south into Michigan avenue. A
doctor inside leaned forward and whis-

and DR. Sales rode in the vehicle
As the ambulance neared the hospital

F|TE WANTS To
ABOLISH COURT

DALTON, GA, Oct. 15r-From 10: 80
to IL o'clock this morning Judge A w.
Fife. of the Cherokee circuit, gave his
attention to discussing before the grand
Jury and a court room filed with peo-
pie the action OF the court of appeals
in finding him guilty of contempt Of
court
The speaker expressed the belief that
he had not gone beyond the limit of
freedom Of speech allowed by the law
and was not convinced that he was in
contempt of court for the newspaper
articles at which the members OF the
court took offense.
But they shall not dodge the salient
features of the articles" he said. They
must answer to them before the people
of Georgia. | want the Whitfield rep
.resentatives in the legislature to intro
duce a bill to submit to the sovereign
people of Georgia the question as to
whether or not the court OF appeals
shall continue to exist, and I believe
that such vote would wipe the court
off the face OF the earth"
In speaking of his trial for contempt,
he said:
Following the attorneys speaking,
the court went into q back room to
consult, remained there about a half
hour and returned with a written
opinion which took three times an
long to read as the consultation prep
aration and typewriting of the opinion
consumed.
1T seemed TO be the consensus Of
opinion among those present that the
opinion was written out beforehand.
This | don't charge, but | do say that
II such was the case It was a terrible
farce"
Opens Whitfield Court.
Judge Fite opened Whitfield supe-
rior court this morning at 10 o'clock
for the annual fall session. Through
respect to the memory of ColonerT. C.
Miner, solicitor general whose death
occurred Saturday, no court was held
here yesterday, many local attorneys

From a deserted railway station
Theodore Roosevelt re-entered Chicago
today. There was no band and no
ohaering. A little cavalcade of sober
faced police headed the procession. The
coloneI with doctor on either side,
low IN an ambulance. Behind half
Dozen automobiles followed slowly to
Mercy hospital.
Suffering from q pistol wound re-
ceived last night in Milwaukee, Colonel
Roosevelt's condition was serious
enough to cause grave concern to the
eminent surgeons who had gathered to
receive him, the colonel was taken from
his car shortly after O'Clock. Fiji
teen minutes later he was lying in the
ambulance, the police had moved to the
head of the line, and the somber little
procession was under way
The colonel's special train arrived in
Chicago shortly after 8 o'clock this
morning. His car was switched to the
deserted passenger station of the Chi
cago and Northwestern railroad, at
State street, just north of the river.
There it remained until the colonel had
been removed
Every precaution was taken to avoid
a crowd. Few persons knew where the
colonels car stood. Even the hospital
to which the colonel was to go was
kept a secret until the start was made
1t was reported that he would go to
the Physicians hospital. Just before the
start. DR.. J. B. Murphy. one of the
surgeons called to assist in caring for
the former president, announced that
it had been decided to take him TO Mer-
cy hospital. at Twenty fifth street and
Prairie avenue.
Colonel Roosevelt, game today as he
was last night after the attempted as
sasslnation, walked unassisted from the
car to the ambulance. He sank down
weakly, once he was inside Twenty
minutes later, when he reached the
hospital even his gameness was not
equal to the task of walking the few
steps from the ambulance entrance to
the hospital door. A man on either
side supported him. His face was white
from loss of blood and drawn With the
pain of his injury.
The physicians who were with him
expressed their concern. DR.. Murphy
was the one who expressed it most
openly.
Blood poison is the thing we most
fear" he said we will take every
possible precaution to prevent that"
In the automobiles that accompanied
the former president from the station
to the hospital were the surgeons. some
close friends of the colonel, summoned

Along the streets, as the ambulance
wheeled slowly across the State street

Assassin Came Here
To Shoot Roosevelt

For two days, while Colonel Roose-
welt was in Atlanta; John Schrank
lurked in the city with revolver ready
to commit the deed he came so near &C
comprising in Milwaukee last night
According to the statement Of the
ASA ssin, the Auditorium Armory here
was the place he had picked as the
scene of Colonel Roosevelts death. But
here his nerve failed him, or a streak Of
sanity flashed through his maddened
brain.
His purpose held, though, and from
Atlanta he followed the former presi-
dent to Chattanooga. Evansville, In
dianapolis and Chicago Not until he
reached Milwaukee, though, had his
nerve been screwed to the sticking
point
Schrank first planned to stage the
assassination in New Orleans, but later
changed his plans and went to Charles
ton, S. c., where he awaited the date Of
the coloners arrival here.
Was in the Auditorium
When Roosevelt came to Atlanta
Schrank also reached the city. He was
at the Auditorium the night OF the
Bull Moose chiefs dramatic address
there. His revolver was in his pocket.
The scheme was in his brain, but the
nerve was not in his heart
Ten thousand persons heard the colo
mel speak that night Thousands more
stormed the Auditorium in vain for ad-
mission. Even after being turned away
they strove madly for a glimpse Of the
former president
So dense was the throng. so eager
was their desire to see the Progressive
candidate, that Chief Beavers in person
was called on to escort the colonel to
his carriage, and then, though aided by
a squad of police, he. had difficulty in
forcing passage through the crowd
In this surging. noisy crowd the as
sassin had every opuortunity to carry
out his plan Atlanta was spared the
shot, but when the Roosevelt train de-
parted for Chattanooga, Schrank fol-
lowed.

COLORADO LOOKING
AFTER ITS TOURISTS

Colorado always has way of doing
things that those living elsewhere can
not help but admire. The recent rains
have raised havoc with the automobile
roads in and out of the city of Denver
and as the county treasury is already
depleted Of its road funds this year a
system OF popular subscription was start
ed there last week 10 raise Sa5, 900 for
immediate use on the roads, In two
days $4,000 OF this amount was raised and
1t is proposed to keep up the campaign
for funds until the full amount Is col
lected This will be put on the roads
at once so eastern tourists can go home
and brag about Colorado highways The
result will be a much larger crop OF
spent In seeing Colorado by automobile
At the present time Colorado far eN-
cells any other state in the union in the
number Of automobile tourists coming
from the east, and Judging from the ac-
tion just taken 1t intends TO keep It's
lead.
