tion and the colonel lifted his hat to
the crowd gathered before the hospital
and station
Bulletins issued by physicians say
the point Of the bullet was definitely

is good.
Drs. lambert and Terrell accompa-
MED the Roosevelt party in the pri-
vate car with Mrs Roosevelt, Ethel
Theodore, ir, ana the coloncls secre.
tary AS he boarded the train, Roose-
velt lifted his hat and shouted good
bye, good luck.
Although Col Roosevelts condition
was described as normal throughout
Sunday it was learned that his wound
had bled considerably and that he was
suffering from nervous exhaustion.
The ex-mesident's physicians insists
ed that both Of these a,velopmcnts
We're to be expected and that there
was in them no cause for alarm. This
bleeding, It was explained by Or. Alex
ander Lambert, necessarily accompas
MED the discharge Of serum. which is
part Of the healing process. DIT. Lam.
bert also said that any patient who
had been in bed Tor a week would sul.
fer from nervous exhaustion ana that
Col Roosevelt needed only to have
absolute rest.
Z wish you would emphasize the
fact said Dr Lambert. that Col.
Roosevelt is getting on well, but that
any patient who has been in bed as
lcng as he win suffer from some de.
+ gree Of nervous exhaustion. If Col
Roosevelt is kept perfectly quiet, It
viii be safe for him to take the Trip
The position OF the bullet which 80
nearly cost Col Roosevelt Tits life was
fixed with precision Sunday. Another
Xray photograph. the third, was taken
and from this &c was learned that the
bullet lay on the outside OF the broken
rib. Until this Photograph was taken
the physicians had been unable to
state positively whether it was on the
outside Or the inside Of the rib
we know definitely now that the
bullet lies outside the rib where it
does no harm, said Mr. Lambert. TIT
lies in such a position that I could
reach the SPOT precisely through a
small ipcisien should Col Roosevelt
desire to have it removed at any time.
IL is matter Of his own preferences
Col Roosevelt said he did not think
he would ever haye the bullet remoY-
