IS NOT OUT OF DANGER YET Blood Poisoning May Develop at Any Time, But Fears Are Lessened. Mrs. Roosevelt at Husband's Bedside All Day Long. Chicago, Oct. 17.- After the last consultation of the night Colonel Roosevelt'ar physicians annunced that their patient's condition was improv ing. Colonel Roosevelt breathed more easily tonight than at any previous time since John Schrank shot him in the breast at Milwaukee last Mon day. This was accepted as a sign that the broken, rib had begun -to knit. He said he felt as well as could be ex pected. Colonel Roosevelt signalized his im plement by dipping into politics for the first time since Monday, night, when he left the platform in the Mil waukee auditorium with the bullet in his side. Sitting up in his bed he dic tated a statement agreeing with Wil liam J. Bryan that" the campaign should go on regardless of the (col onel's removal temporarily from the fight. The last 'bulletin of the day, issued at 10:55 P. M., read: " Pulse, 82. Temperature, 98.8. Res piration, 20. Colonel Roosevelt is resting quietly. He announces that he breathes per ceptibly' easier. " He says he "feels as well as could be expected." The physicians in attendance on the colonel took .a more frankly optimistic view,, today than at -any other time - since the colonel was admitted to the hospital, although they : emphasized the fact.that he could Bot be consider ' ed to hatve pBed 'the daTiger poHit. ' Dr. John :.B. Murphy, who is in charge of the case, and his associates, are so well pleased with his condition that they delayed their evening con sultation until well toward midnight. "Colonel Roosevelt's condition may be described as 'normal under the cir cumstances, said Dr. John F. Gol den, as he left the hospital for the night. "He is perfectly easy." Chicago, Oct. 17. Throughout a day of unbroken calm, Col. Roosevelt lay in his bed in Mercy ' Hospital with vir tually no variation of his condition. It was a day of waiting, with the ever present possibility of complications, but with lessened fears on the part of those who were watching over the wounded man. He seemed in his al most normal condition, but his physi cians said he'waB by no means out of danger. Col. Roosevelt's physicians were discussing tonight the length of time it would be necessary for the colonel to remain In the hospital. It was be lieved that it might be safe for him to leave for Oyster Bay Monday or Tues day if all goes well, but not even a tentative decision was reached. The clinical record for the day show ed some variations in temperature, pulse and respiration, but only such changes, the physicians said, as were normal in the case of a person suffer ing from a bullet wound. The hourly record told -of a slight fever in the morning, and a sub-normal tempera ture toward the end of the day. The pulse rose to 90 in the morning and again late in the afternoon, but early in the evening the count fell off. After inspecting the record for the day. Dr. John P. Golden said that It tallied in -every respect with condi tions which were normal in Col. Roose- Vlt8 C3S. The period of possible development of blood poisoning still has another day to run, and although the physi cians said a change might occur with in an hour at any time during the next day they were more optimistic tonight as to the outcome than at any previous time. . Possibility of tetanus, always to be reckoned with in the case of bullet wounds, was still to be considered, and as the period in which this might de velop, the physicians said, is six or seven days, Col. Roosevelt w.ill not be regarded as entirely but of danger, even should the next day pass with no signs of blood poisoning. Dr. Scurry L. Terrell said the colonel could not leave the hospital safely until the ex piration of this period and for that reason it was regarded as out of the question to consider the colonel s de parture for .Oyster Bay before early next wdc. All day Mrs. -Roosevelt was at his bedside, and although her husband jestingly complained he was the vic tim of machine rule, she said he must see no one except the members of his family. Theodore Roosevelt, Jr.. Miss Ethel Roosevelt,, and Mrs. Nicholas Longworth talked with their father from time to time, but even these fam ily chats wererllmlted to a few minutes on each occasion.- Twice during the day. however.

Hart "taakes the Open fnf Address Becker's Coun--- ' V T- 'iJ vWi ns a Victory New Yorlc. Oct. 17. The State rest ed its case today in the trial of Police Lieutenant Charles Becker, on the charge of instigating the murder of Herman Rosenthal, the gambler. The case for the defense will begin tomorrow when John W. Hart, of Becker's counsel, will make his open ing address. If Becker has his way, Hart said, he will go on the stand in his own behalf. Whether his coun sel will attempt to dissuade him had not been determined tonight. The defense has indicated it will en deavor to prove a clique of gamblers inspired the murder of Rosenthal, and Becker is the victim of a conspiracy. Former District Attorney Jerome will be one pf a dozen or more wit nesses the defense plans to call. Mr. Jerome is expected by Becker's coun sel to break down a nortion of the testimony of Jack Rose, in connection with alleged telephone conversation with Becker, introduced by the State to show that Becker had guilty knowl edge of the crime. Sam Paul, whose gambling place was frequently raided by Becker, and other members of the gambling fraternity, also are included among Becker's witnesses. The accused police lieutenant ex pressed himself as confident of acquit tal, after adjournment had been taken on the announcement by District At torney Whitman that the people's case was complete. Becker was in a happy mood, for his counsel had just won a victory. This was when Justice Goff granted a motion by Mr. Mclntyre that there be excluded all testimony tending to show that Becker had amassed a for tune in graft, obtained from gamblers. District Attorney Whitman had 13 bank tellers ready to swear that Becker had a number of bank ac counts, but not one was allowed to testify. Justice Goff upheld Mr. Mc Intyre's argument that without proof that Rosenthal, the "squealer," knew that Becker's bank accountN represent or tho nrnoeeds of eraft. the evidence could not show that they constituted motive for the killing of Kosentnai. "Extoition and bribery are not charg ed in this indictment," declared Beck er's attorney. "The charge is solely that of murder." To introduce proof the prosecution recalled to the stand Jack Rose, Beck er's alleged collector of graft, but Jus tice Goff refused to permit him to be examined along that line. Mrs. Lillian Rosenberg, wife of "Lefty Louie," one of the four gun men charged with the actual slaying 6f Rosenthal, furnished one of the sensations of today's proceedings when- she appeared as a State's wit ness. Although, denying any knowl edge of her husband's whereabouts on the night of the murder, Mrs. Rosen berg told of the visit Sam Schepps and Jack Rose made to her home to ask the aid of her" husband in getting Jack Zelig. the gang leader, out of iai1- , This testimony, corrooorauve ui wj stories of Schepps and Rose, was in tended to Strengthen one of" the im portant links in the State's chain of Mrs. Rosenberg was one of a doz en witnesses put .on the stand by the State today to close up some of the loose ends of its case, which has taken seven days to completer The only ap- SCHEMED TO "FIX" ELECTION Thos. W. Lawson Tells Clapp Com mittee the "Sinister System" Form ed Deep-Latd Plot to - Elect a Satisfactory Candidate. Washington, Oct. 17. The "sinister system" formed a deep-laid plot to control the present Presidential elec tion, Thomas W. Lawson, of Boston, told the Senate campaign contribu tions committee today. Mr. Lawson was careful to impress upon.the committee that h? knew only in a '-'general way" of the alleged col lossal scheme to nominate and elsct a candidate "satisfactory to the Wall Street P interests." All of his testi mouy. was of matters which he knew in the same "general way" and he be came involved in a heated controversy with the committee in defining just what fce meant ,by this phrase, with which he prefaced practically every statement he made. In the course of the dispute he earnestly informed the committee that the examination of J. P. Morgan and other witnesses had been a "joke." The conspiracy of the Wall Street interests, of which Mr. Lawson knew in a general way included, he declar ed, the defeat of Colonel Roosevelt at the Republican National convention, the 'nomination of President Taft and the ,; injection of Colonel Roosevelt in the campaign as a third party candi date, to "split the Republican party," all this without the knowledge or con sent of Colonel Roosevelt. Then Mr. Lawson knew, in a general way, a mysterious fund of $1,000,000 had been uesd in Wall Street to deadlock the Democratic convention at Balti more, prevent the nomination of any of the "Candidates before the conven tion and to name a dark horse, satis factory to the "system,' .who was to be elected. "I communicated this information to Mr. Bryan," said Mr. Lawson, "and as a result, Mr. Wilson was nominated and the scheme failed." Frank A. Munsey, who preceded Mr. Lawson, argued at length with the committee against the publicity of campaign contributions; it was nec essary.' that rich men contribute, and that such publicity as the present ii vestigaton had enforced had "frozen up thepocketbooks" of the wealthy. He outlined his own expenses in the Roosevelt pre-cenvention campaign fund, amounting to more than 118, 000, and told the committee that com pared tq the amount he was reported to 'have'-contributed "the real figures made him "look like a piker." He es timated the total expenditures of the Roosevelt pre-convention campaign at $574,000.- Befor Mr. Lawson and Mr. Munsey took the stand, the committee heard James O. Murflne,-!of Detroit, who de clared" .that' th recent primaries in that city were "rotten" the worst we ever had." He charged that money was used lavishly, and the. delegates were "botfght .

' SHORT AND SflAPPV ' Approach of Winter and Fin ancial Pressure Will Affect Balkans. GREEK PEOPLE REJOICING Conflict Is Expected to Develop Into Land Campaign. Between Bul garia and Turkey Naval Be tween Turkey, and Greece London, Oct. 17. rWhile Turkey and the Balkan States are carrying out the last formalities called with the declaration of war, interest has been transferred to "the prospects of the campaign. Two influences are ex pected to make the war a short and sharp one. The first is the approach of Winter; the second is financial, pres sure. Noife of the belligerent States is in a position to stand the strain of prolonged military operations. Bulgaria was disappointed' recently in trying to raise even a small loan in Paris, while Turkey had been en deavoring both in New York and Paris to borrow money, but up to the 'pres ent without success.

The war is expected to develop into a long campaign between Bulgaria and Turkey and a naval struggle be tween Turkey and Greece. It is be lieved Turkey will concentrate her strength and attack the Bulgarians separately before the Servians can come to their aid. r ' Much will depend on whether Tur key gains command of the sea, which would facilitate transportation of her Asiatic troops to the theatre of war. Little is. known., ai, t( how far the 3 HiedT Balkan r States have" concerted their ' strategic plans. The indepen dent action of Montenegro seems to indicate that a settled course is be ing followed. The Bulgarian . cabinet is sitting to night in continuous session but is hav ing difficulty in i communicating with Belgrade and Athens. News of actual fighting is indefinite and conflicting, the Turks claiming substantial victor ies over the Montenegrins. The Greek people are rejoicing. The Greek people are rejoicing over their first naval victory, two gunboats forcing Prevesa strait. This feat gives the Greeks command of the Gulf of Arta and secures a supply of stores to the army of Epirus. Through the official declaration of war, Greece is deprived of the services of a Chinese cruiser she had arranged to purchase at New Castle, as she has been abliged to abandon the purchase for fear of diplomatic complications. "The four destroyers which Greece purchased at Liverpool shipped naval Qrews at Algiers and have started for Greece, convoying the steamer Mace donia, which has on board Greek re servists from -ijew York. These sea wasps will prove serviceable if they succeed in reaching a Greek port with out being intercepted by Turkish war ships. Servia Formally Declares War. Belgrade, Servia, Oct. 17.

Wilmington, Del., Oct. 17 "My thought is constantly of that gallant gentleman lying in the hospital at Chi cago." With this sentiment running. through his speeches, Governor Wilson toured Delaware today, deploring the assault on Col. Roosevelt and depre cating the' use of violence to interrupt the course of politics. The Democrat ic nominee devoted his argument mostly to State issues in Delaware. He omitted mention of the Progres sive party and when he discussed Na tional questions, he attacked the ad ministration of President Taft, declar ing there was prosperity enough for those at the top, but that it had not percolated through to the rank and file of the people." v- The Governor made four speeches, appeared "before cheering throngs in nearly a dozen towns and closed the day with a big street parade and meet ing at Wilmington tonight. Urging Delaware to join the proces sion of Progressive States," Governor Wilson declared in his speeches that it was "dangerous to block the pro gress of reform in America," and that the "stand pat dam", which is the only thing that holds back the popular forc es, will presently break. "I do not predict trouble in the United States," he said. "I rejoice to believe that America is singularly a iifilfrpo&sessed Nation It; is--a verse to making so much violent His0raeT I believe that part of the sadness, we now suffer from because of that atro cious assault upon Mr. Roosevelt, Is a feeling that there is anybody, in the United States who would dare inter rupt the orderly course of politics, and the public affairs of this country, by the violence of his own hand. We deeply resent it. We resent , the thought that there should be any citi zen of the United States that should raise his hand against the peaceful, the orderly, the ' just, jhe open deter mination of public officers. "I came out to fulfill the engage ments of this week with a very great reluctance, because my thought is aon stantly of that gallant gentleman lying in a hospital in Chicago. Mr. Roose velt did a vast deal to wake the coun try up to the problems that now have to be settled, and that he should have been stayed in his attempt to discuss the sentiments of those questions, by a hand of violence, is a. thing which! every American must deeply deplore and feel ashamed for. . "At the same time, there are these questions to be settled. There is the great life of the country to go on, and we cannot afford to have it go on with out guidance. My indictment against the Republican adminstrations of the past is that under them we have gone no whither; we have drifted. We have been without pilots; we have been without charts, no man has laid down any intelligible course, and in these latter years, we have been abso lutely paralyzed. A Democratic House, a Senate mixed of Democrats and Republicans and near-Republican's, men who had revolted against the poli cy of the Republican party and were coming very slowly around to the posi tions which their Democratic col leagues had long occupied, and even a President unwilling to see even a unit ed House, when they could, upon- rare occasion's, unite, accomplish anything to change the existing order pf things ; a President who, though "he had con demned one of the most Conspicuous schedules of the present tariff, was pot willing that the Congress should change it, but only willing that it would be changed under the advice of a board of his appointment; a singular situation, my fellow citizens; a situa tion where the President withholds his assent from the very kind of re form, the very specific reform which not in its details, but" in its general purpose, he had himself endorsed, showing that what you asked to do, in being asked to vote for a Republican administration, is one or the other of two things. - ; "You are either asked to drift under no guidance at all, or you are askedto stand still absolutely. t , "America cannot stand still whether ah o could afford to or not.

Washington, Oct. 17. United States Senator Weldon Brinton Heyburn, of Idaho, died at his apartments here to night, after a lingering illness. He was 60 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 well since last March when he collapsed af ter delivering a speech in the Senate on the arbitration treaties, in spite of doctors' warnings that the effort might cost him his life. Several weeks ago, apparently gaining strength after , a serious Telapse, the Senator and Mrs. Heyburn made preparations for a trip West. Today the doctors thought he was . slightly improved, but death came suddenly ' a' few minutes before S o' clock tonight. No arrangements have been made for t funeral, but the body will be taken to the old home of Senator Heyburn in Birmingham, Pa., for burial. Senator Heyburn was born in Delaware, May 23rd, 1852, his parents being Quakers of English de scent. , He was admitted to the bar in 1876. He married Miss Gheretein Yeatman, who survives him. They had no child ren. In 1883 the Senator moved to Sho shone, Idaho, which had been his home ever since. January 13th, 1903, he was elected to the Senate and in January, 1909, was unanimously re-elected to serve until 1915. One of the staunchest of the regu lar Republicans, a man of strong con victions, Senator Heyburn had for years been a conspicuous figure in the Senate. He was most widely known, perhaps, for his unyielding bitterness toward the South and frequent denun ciations of Southern Civil War lead ers. He called the placing of Lee's statue in the Capitol an insult to the Nation, and in discussing this and many other incidents engaged in acri monious debates with Southern Sena tors. During the past few years, since the devolpment of serious division in the Republican ranks, Senator Heyburn had played a prominent part in the fight for party regularity. He always opposed Col. Roosevelt's conservation ideas. One of his first acts as a Sen ator to attract public notice, was his strong support of the pure food and drugs act when it was before Congress for passage. J. H.

The com-1 mittees will be on their rounds again, today and every, citizen will feel it a privilege to do something toward this "Help Wilson and Wilmington Win Fund." Recorder John J. 'Furlong yester-' day set the pace for the, entire city with a contribution of $100. This "old war horse" of Democracy was asked to name his own amount and he did it with a will and: cheerfulness that immediately infused the committee which approached him with enough en thusiasm to lead all others in the con tributions returned for the day. Dr. Morris M. Caldwell Was the next ap proach during the day and all gave willingly and cheerfully. Those who did not feel that they could give a large amount, came forward with the most enthusiastic' expressions of their good will and it was a real pleasure for the team workers to get out and see just how easy it was. No appeal was necessary in a majority of cases.- The committees merely came, saw and conquered. The work" of the can vessers has now been pretty well sys tematized and it remains only for the team workers to call upon their re spective chairmen, secure canvassers cards and get busy. Yesterday a number of voluntary contributors gave enthusiasm to flie workers. One man way down in Jack sonville, Fla., sent , his check for $2 to The Star and asked that it be turn ed over to Mr. J. W. Simpson's team and this was done. The contribution , of Mr. Abbott appears below. Mr. D. F. Barnes, of the Hilton Lumber . Co., was another Voluntary contribu tor. He sent $5 to The Star for the fund and wished! that be could give more. The lot in Mercer Place found , another bidder yesterday and the high est price is now $60. None of these lots has been sold-for less than $100 and the donor, Mr. J. B. Mercer, will buy it back for more than is now offered. If you wish a.really attrac tive investment, send In your bid to day to General Chairman W. A. Mc- Girt or Chairman J. W. Little, of Mr. Mercer's committee. A number of "community clubs", are being made up for'' the Wilson fund that will be reported later. Yesterday . the trainmen of the Tidewater Power . Co., through Mr. H.
