SPENT THE NIGHT IN RESTFUL SLEEP Physicians Declare, However, He Cannot Leave Hospital Until Next Week at the Latest. Chicago, Oct. 17. Six doctors, milk ing the most extended survey of Roos evelt's condition attempted since his' arrival at the hospital, found his con dition this morning as near normal as n wounded man's could be and re newed their assurance that there was no longer cause lor worry. It was also announced positively that the colonel would not leave the hospital until next week at the latest. Roosevelt is feeling so much better and has shown so much improvement that upon awakening today he began planning for a continuation of his campaign trips. He spent most of the night in restful sleep. His condition is practically normal. Dr. Lambert, Roosevelt's ' family physician, explained that no signifi cance attached to the fact that the bulletin suld the bullet would not be removed "at present." "It depends "on two things," ho aaid, "whether It will ever be removed. One is whether It starts trouble; the other Is whether the colonel- had rather cany his souvenir in his pocket or In his chest." Dr. Cioldon suld it had been decided definitely that no move could he made by the patient until after Sunday. After a day of ceaseless vigil, Colo nel Roosevelt's physicians, last night could say no more than that his con dition was virtually unchanged. In dications, they say,, pointed to . the speedy recovery of the ex-president from the effects of the liullet which struck him down In Milwaukee on Monday night. A rise in temperature late in Ihe day, however, mude his condition for the time being somewhat less favor able. The colonel's temperature went .at It 9, but soon receded to 98.8.

Not before Friday, If all goes well, will the physicians be prepared to say that their patient is out of danger. The Intervening period will be re quired to determine whether blood poisoning or other complications are to be feared. Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., after a talk with his father and a consultation with the physicians, expressed the feeling ot those about the ex-presldent yesterday. "It will be four or live days," said he, "before we can breathe easily." Colonel Little Conifrncd.- Col, Roosevelt spent an apparently ciulet and care free day. seemingly the les concerned of all. He was cheered by the appearance of Mrs. Roosevelt, who arrived early In the day from New York, and remained with him constantly. He felt no pain, he said, and moved about at will on his bed, reading or dictating telegrams or talking with members of his family., In the afternoon he, slept for a time. Dr. John B. Murphy, who .Is In charge of the. case; Dr. Arthur Dean Hevan and Dr. Terrell, Colonel Roose velt's physician, held three consulta tions during the day. Asid , from the official bulletins' which they Issued, which gave little Indication of any change, they would say little of the condition of the patient. Why It was that the fracture of Col, Roosevelt's rib was not discovered " until today was not made known, al though it was said that there Is no cause for alarm on this account. It was learned yesterday that the x-ray photograph, which was taken In Milwaukee, a few hours alter Col. Roosevelt was shot, did not show ac curately the location of the bullet, and i another photograph was taken yes terday afternoon. It Is probable that Hfler Ihe plate Is developed. If good , results are obtained, a decision will be reached as to whether the bullet will be removed. Thu bullet, It was . said, in resting against the fractured rib, the fourth one on the right side, and tho proximity of the ribs rendered It difficult to obtain the desired result of the x-ray. The fracture of the rib explained the pain which Col. Roosevelt felt In breathing deeply. The Imriresslon grows that Colonel Roosevelt would be able to do little or nothing more In the campaign. Although he expressed the hope of leaving for Oyster Bay on Bunday It Is probable that he will be compelled to remain In the hospital for at least a week longer and that after his ar rival at home he will not be per mitted to plunge Into the campaign .again, Ansoclates of Colonel Roosevelt said . that, while he was deeply disappointed at being obliged tif leave the tight dur ing' tho closing weeks, when it was to be hardest, he was showing no con i cm as to the possible effect of his rrmovul from the Held of battle.

Mexico City, Oct. 17. A critical point has been reached in the Madero administration. The resignation of the cabinet was demanded in the chamber of deputies "last night by Deputy Moheno, but the president of the chamber refused to permit discus sion and the motion comes up again today. With General Diaz, nephew of the former president, In undisputed control of Mexlcp's most important seaport, reports reached here today of new uprising In various pans of the republic, one in the city of Pachucn, 50 miles from here. Besides this the loyalty of the army Is questioned. Mexico City, Oct, 17.- In order to crush the rebellion of Felix Diaz at Vera Cruz, not only have the federal armies of the north and south have been ordered to converge on that city, but General Reltran, at Espeninza, operating against the rebel command er Aguliar, has been ordered to move on Vera Cruz, Reltran will be sup ported by two military trains. The public does not seem to share the op timism of the government and. It is considered not improbable 'that a part of the forces ordered against Diaz may join him.' Diaz has plenty of ammunition and it is rumored Orozco and Diaz havo reached an under standing. Mexico City, Oct. 17. General Felix Diaz, nephew of General Porfirlo Diaz, the deposed president of Mexico, rais ed the banner of rebellion at Vera Cruz yesterday. ,. Ho entered the city with 00 men and seized tho arsenal and garrison. Colonel Diaz Ordaz was In command of the garrison, which comprised 500 of the Twenty-first In fantry and one six-gun buttery. Diaz then placed men In charge of the two gunboats Tampico and Braveo lying in the harbor. "The news of the rising created great excitement here, although there were no street demonstrations. ; Mexicans generally appeared elated ut the new developments. Later reports are that General Diaz found many adherents when he entered Vera Cruz, Including some of the troops, but the govern ment has been Informed that the Nineteenth Infantry and the artillery remain loyal.

Oct. 17, A copy of the republican national committee's bank account in 1904 at the Fourth National bank of New York was placed In evi dence today before the Clapp com mittee Investigating campaign expen ditures and showed one deposit of :'40,000 during the latter days of Oc tober of that year. This was the sum of the disputed "Harriman fund" and Ihe approximate time of Its collection. George H. Cortclyou, chulrman of the national representative committee In nineteen four was questioned about John D. Archbold's testimony that standard Oil contributed a hundred tho ijsii lid to the republican fund. He said that when he spoke to ltllss about It, the latter replied there had been no such contribution and that he told the president whut llllsa told him. "Ho said ho never asked Morgan for uny contribution for uny purpose," said Cortelyou, who declared that he himself knew little of the so-called Harriman fund.

SAYS IT'S GETTING RID OF THE BOSSES Has Made More Progress in That Direction in the Past Ten Years Than Ever Before. Buffalo, N. Y., Oct. 1 7. Secretary Henry L. Stlinson made his (li st speech of the presidential campaign here last night, advocating the re-election of President Taft and the continuance of the republican party in power. Al though he said "men who were form erly republicans are now trying to de stroy the party," and denounced as "n monstrous thing the attempt to de stroy this great party this instru ment which has been working out the destiny of progress in this nation for 50 years," the secretary did not men tion either Colonel Roosevelt or the progressive party by name. His speech wns n discussion of issues between re publicans and democrats, prefaced by a vigorous reply to the contention that the republic-tin party had outlived its usefulness, making a third party ne cessary. "The republican party is the great liberal party of the nation," said Mr. Stimson "not the conservative party which opposes reforms nor the radical party which merely agitates reforms, but the liberal party which accom plishes reforms. This is not a -more accident of history. It follows neces sarily and Inevitably from the form of our government and the views held toward that government b.y. the men who are republicans. It Is a necessary result of the national .views held by republicans toward their federal union and the-liberal views of construction held by them toward their federal con stitution. Our party contains the men who believe the constitution is an In strument of national progress, not u mere refuge of vested right an in strument not to be used to protect the great special interests of today In the manner in which John Ci Calhoun used It to protect the great special Interest of slavery, but an Instrument fittedj to solve the great problems of tomorrow, just as Lincoln used It to solve the great war problems of his day. "Mow, If we are right in this. If our faith has a rational justification, it is a monstrous thing to attempt to de stroy this great party this instru ment which has been working out the destiny of progress In this nation for 50 years: it Is a monstrous thing to allow the Impulse, the passion, the lack of vision or of perspective created by the events of a single year, to de stroy the organized momentum f ir good of a half century. If It has been good enough and progressive enough and effective enough through all the struggles of the past 50 years up until this year, It is not likely that It has completely changed Its character this year and suddenly become worthy of u dee th sentence. , , "I believe that the year 1912 found the republican party better, cleaner, and more progressive than ever be fore; that it has been steadily growing and developing, until today, on the great problems which confront the country, its position is one which the nation must adopt, If It Is to perma nently and satisfactorily solve those problems. "They say It Is boss ridden. On the contrary, the republican party Itself has progressed more rapidly during the past ten years in the direction of freedom and popular control than In all the other years of Its history. Why, the bosses of today are pygmies compared with the busses, of early days. 'They say that the republican nom ination this year was attended by theft and fraud. 1 have examined the facts relating to this charge and I be lieve It Is untrue. It Is doubtless true that the methods of electing dele gates to our conventions, of all parties republican, and democratic alike, axe In a period of translation. Some states have adopted the direct primary method; In others the old methods still obtain. The, very fact that the new methods are rapidly coming In shows that the republican party Is open to change and reform, and that It Is not hidebound in Its methods. And the proper course for those who believe In the new method of primary election Is not to destroy the party which is alreuiiy busily adopting that method, but to go on and h;istcn to so u re Its adoption In all the re maining states." Of the tariff, Mr. Stimson said: "The republicans offer a definite pro gram which Includes a sufficient measure of protection to allow our present Industries to go on and yet which will prevent the possibility of excessive prices coming from exces sive protection." and, "on the other aide, you have a demoprntlo platform which attacks the whole basis of our existing system of. Industries; and you have a democratic house of represen tatives which throughout Its session has been playing politics pure and simple with the, tariff." Declaring that It has become appar ent that the Sherman law, alone, no matter how faithfully It be enforced, (.Continued on page 2) Tells Them to Disregard Him and Work for the Cause. Louisville, Ky Oct. 17. Albert J. Beverldge, former senator from In diana, brought to Kentucky last night Colonel Roosevelt's message to the nation, dictatet from the colonel's sick bed in Mercy hospital in Chicago. "It matters little about me," Colonel Roosevelt told Mr. Reveridge, "but it matters all about the cause we fight for. 3 f one soldier who happens to carry the flag is stricken another will take it from his hands and carry it on. ."You know that personally 1 did not want ever to be a candidate for office again," the message from the stricken ex-president continuos. "And you know that only the call that came to the men of the sixties made me answer it In our day as they did more nobly in their day." . "And now as then it is not import ant whether one leader lives or dies," continues the message,: "It Is import ant only tiat the cause shall live and win. Tell l ie people not to worry about me; for if I go down another will take my place. For always the army is there. ' Always the cause is j there, and It is the cause for which the people varc. It is the peoples cause." WITNESS IS ATTACKED AFTER GIVING EVIDENCE Dynamite Prosecutor Asks In vestigation of Sluggling in Kansas City. Indianapolis, Intl., Oct. 17. U. S. District Attorney Charles A. Miller last night telegraphed Attorney Gen eral Wickersham asking the depart ment of Justice" to make rigid investfi gatlon of the" reported slugging at Kansas City, Mo., .of H. E. I'earce, who testified on Monday as a wit ness for the government in the "dyna mite conspiracy" trial. When shown a message from Kan sas City that Pcarce had been held up and robbed, Mr. Miller said his infor mation had been such as to warrant him in sending to Washington a re quest for an investigation. "At the beginrilng of the trial here we could take no chances In tolerat ing any rough tactics," said Mr. Mil ler. "Pearce came here under sub poena from the government and neither he nor any' other witness is to be molested on account of any tes timony he might have given." The district attorney's telegram asked for "a vigorous federal inves tigation for the purpose of determin ing the perpetrators of the outrage.1 Pearce, who was a clerk in a Kan sas City hotel, in hl testimony, iden titled Ortle E.

The government announced it would bes hown that a conference took place in Kansas City concerning the pro posed Pacific coast explosions. Ac cording to the government James B, McNamara, V. Hert Brown, an Iron workers official In Kansas City on trial here, and a "citizen" whose name was not given, talked about proposed jobs to be blown up. The district at torney asserted that McNamara and Brown urged thu "citizen" to get into the dynamiting business, saying "there's lots of money In It for you. and you've got the protection of the union. We're going to blow up the whole town of Los Angeles," but the unnamed person refused to enter the conspiracy. SAY "CHRISTMAS" PRESENT Letter of Thanks for Ryan's "Gift to Pacific Coast" in Evidence.

' ' . ' OPINIONS DIFFER AS TO POLITICAL EFFECT If He Recovers Speedily May not. Change Vote Materially Is Washington View. Washington, Oct. 17. Public men of all three parties in Washington are lirmly of the opinion that the attack upon Col. Roosevelt will have a wholesome effect on the conduct of the campaign In the three weeks re maining. They agree there will be less personal abuse and villification on j II sides and that the arguments will j have to do chiefly with the principles involved. Many democrats and republicans have bewailed lor a long time the ten dencies of recent years to resort to personal abuse and sensational per sonal charges almost to the exclusion of the discussion of party pledges and principles. Politicians who have ven tured to lift their voices against mod ern tendencies have been called old fashioned, but several of them say that they have hopes that the attack upon Col. Roosevelt would prove a powerful influence in turning the tide. However, they failed to express any sympathy for Col. Roosevelt in his complaint that the shooting was brought about by misrepresentation and abusive attacks upon him. They pointed out that Mr. Roosevelt him self has been the chief exponent of the campaign waged purely along per sonal lines. A few of the colonel's own supporters even acknowledge this and joined with the democrats and regular republicans in declaring that the time had come for less bitter ness and a little more logic in the campaign. As an encouraging, evidence of the; new turn of affairs It' was pointed outi that Co). Roosevelt had recalled the bitter attack upon Charles D. Hilles which he had given out to the press and the Taft managers had withdrawn Adam Bede and Mr. Harlan, who had been camping on Qol. Roosevelt's trail and had been greatly irritating him through their personal attacks. Its Effect on Politics. The telegrams of sympathy sent by President Taft to Col. Roosevelt and Mrs. Roosevelt and the similar mes sage sent to the colonel by Gov. Wil son are expected to have a soothing effect upon the campaign. Mr. Taft's telegram to Col. Roosevelt, by the way, was the first communication that has pussed between them since the break. Opinions differ as to what effect the attempted assassination will have on Col. Roosevelt's political fortunes. Re publicans and democrats alike believe there will be a swing toward him on account of sympathy for the next few days. If he recovers quickly It Is be lieved the accident will not be re llected to any great extent In the vote on election day. Some of Col. Roosevelt's own friends deplored some features of the speech he delivered at the auditorium In Milwaukee after he had been shot, They were Inclined to believe thu I the not of bitterness in the speech and1 the colonel's attempt to hold thor I who had "misrepresented", him as partly responsible for the shooting would go far toward off-setting the good Impression made by his courage and patriotism. I 'or Safeguarding Public Men. The wounding of Col. Roosevelt has started anew in official circles a dis cussion as to how the president and other public men may be more secure ly safe-guarded. Arthur MacDonald, tho criminologist, has been advocating before congress for several years the establishment of a bureau and labor atory for the study of the mentally deficient. He never has mode much headway with his scheme, which he believes would result at least In mark ing many dangerous cranks. "This country," said Mr. MacDon ald, "has suffered more than any other In the world In the loss of Its chief rulers by assassination." Counting the Roosevelt attempt, there have been live, and three have been successful. "Schrank," suld MacDonald, "seems to belong to the same class as the asKasslns of President Garfield and Mayor Harrison and the man who tried to kill Mayor Gaynor. Czolgolz, on the other hand, was unquestionably sane." John E. Wilkle, chief of tho secret service, says that no matter how well a public man Is guarded It virtually is impossible to prevent the vagaries of a crank. It Is likely that extra precautions will be taken from now until after election to guard President Taft He Is always accompanied by at lea.! two secret service men and his house is under the constant protection of gov ernment agents day and night. An attempt at assassination, the government officials have found, al ways has a tendency to stir up other cranks, and extra precaution will probably be taken for this reason alone. STATON STRESSES THE TARIFF ISSUE And Says He Expects to 'be Elected to Congress From Tenth District. Special to The Gazette-News. llendersonvllle, Oct. 16. Mayor R. H. Staton, republican candidate for congress, left for Rutherford county Monday where he delivered several speeches during the first three days of the week. Thursday ond Friday of this week he will spend in McDowell county, looking after his interests in that neck of the wooks. Next week lie will fill several oppointments in the western counties. Mr. Staton before leaving here Mon day, stated that he felt confident he would be elected. He said wherever he had been over the district, every- " ;- '""" " V ' ' " ouUok wag far more promising than had been expected. In response to a question asked him as to what he regarded as the most Important issue In the campaign, Mr. Staton said: 4 "in my judgment the most import ant issue in this campaign is the tariff. Under tariff laws enacted and in force since McKinley's administration, the farmers have prospered and are in better shape than ever before, and our laboring people are commanding bet ter wages than they have ever hereto fore received. A protective tariff Is a matter upon which all republicans are agreed. No matter which can didate they are going to vote for In the presidential contest. "It is my purpose to do my best to convince the voters of the district, that free trade-tariff-for-revenue-only pol icy of the democratic party is not best for our people." Staton headquarters have been opened here in a store room on Main Btreet, in tho business part of town, and a number of men are at work there night and day sending out liter ature, writing letters, billing speakers, and working up the registration for the coming election. A vigorous cam paign will be waged by the republicans f th'a coun'f from now until elec tion day, for the purpose of giving Mr. Staton a big majority In his own county. It has been announced that Major Rollins will speak at Fletcher Satur day at 11 o'clock, and that Hon. Mark W. Brown and Hon. J. F. Ford will speak at Blue Ridge Saturday after noon. WHEN HE FALLS ON VIE Neal Gattis of Waynesville Is Killed While Stringing Cable. (Simm-uh to Tlio tiansetto-Nevtsi V uynesvillc, Oct. li. Neal Oattis, "n 'd lineman of the Waynesvllle I Telephone company, was instantly killed here yesterday afternoon about 3:30 o clock, by coming in contact with a live wire carrying a. very high vlluge. He Wtis working at the top of a pole on Main street, making alternations In preparation for string- fng a big cable messenger wire when he fell and caught on the live wire. In falling he caught the live wire under his right arm and the flesh was burned to the bone and up to the shoulder. The body hung on the wire until someone was sent In an autoino bile to the power plant a mile away to have the current cut off so that the body could be removed. Drs. Hazell, Way and McCrueken were called to the man's assistance, but could do nothing for him, as he was dead when the body was lowered to the ground. The pole on which he was ut work was obout 30 feet high and the fall would probably have killed him if he had not caught on the fatal wire. The deceased, who was about 35 yeurs old, Is survived by a wife. Tho burial will take place this afternoon ut Turpln's Chapel. Rev. Hamilton, formerly pa'tor of the A. M.

GREEK AND TURKISH ARMIES IN CONFLICT Gunboats Daringly Force Ot toman Blockade and Reach the Greek Town Ven itza. ' Iondon, Oct. 17. War Kxlay be came general throughout the Balkan peninsula. Turkey, already engaged In lighting Montenegro, this morning Issued formal ilcx-luralioii of hostili ties against Kcrvln ami Bulgaria. Greece, supposedly in sympathy with Serviu and Bulgaria, was not men tioned in tho declaration and Greek ministers have not been asked to leave tin- Turkish capital. .The Turkish niinkli-rs. however, have left Athens. Turkey blames Scrvla and Bulgaria for iho trouble. Constantinople, Oct. 17. A formal docln ration of war against Servla and Bulgaria was published by the Turkish government today. Sofia, Oct 17. King Ferdinand with his staff has left for the head quarters of the Bulgarian army near the Turkish frontier. It Is believed he will issue a proclamation to the nation or make a formal declaration of war from that position. Athens, Oct. 17. Fighting between the Greek and Turkish forces station ed along the frontier began early to day. A daring feat was accomplished this morning by the commanders of the Greek gunboats A and B, when they forced the Turkish blockade of the narrow entrance of the GulT of Arta and went throuch. returnlnir tho heavy lire of the fortress. They suc ceeded In reaching the Greek town Venltza. London, Oct. 17. The. declaration, of War by Bulgaria against Turkey was published In Sofia last evening," " according to news agency dispatches from Paris. The Balkan fighting remains limited to the Montenegrin border and, al though the relations of Turkey and the other allied states has been vir tually broken, there was a curious in disposition on tne part ot rsutgaria ana Servia to take the final plunge Into hostilities. This hesitation Is regarded In dip lomatic quarters as a good omen, pointing to the possibility that the powers, although unable to prevent it,- may succeed In lessening tho dura tion of the war. It Is understood that most of tho powers have accepted In principle the suggestion of the French premier for an European conference, but nothing has been decided upon as to when the conference will meet or what Its program will be. The future status of Crete under tne new conditions, which It Is reported will be virtual annexation by Greece, Is now engaging the attention of the powers. The rumor that Bulgaria has actu ally declared war has not been con firmed. The Montenegrins, after hard lighting, have captured Berana, but it is reported that there will be a pouse In the operations around Tushl. Vndoubtedly this is due to the Montenegrins realizing that they have paid too dearly for their successes In heavy losses of lives. King Nicholas accordingly has Is sued a proclamation urging his sol diers to restrain their Impetuosity and adapt themselves to modern con ditions of warfare, which demands artillery preparation before an at tempt is made to storm fortified posi tions. General Martinovltch's division has worked its way closer to Scutari and it is stated that an Austrian vessel has been ordered up Ihe Boyana river to bring the Austrian consul and colony from Scutari.
