STORY OF SHOOTING RELATED BY HIM
Bull Moose Leader Says His Making
Speech Is What Any Other
Man Would Have
Done
CHICAGO, Oct. 18. The first vivid
impressions of Colonel Roosevelt on
the night which he was shot in Mil
waukee were related tonight by the
Colonel. Apparently on the way to
recovery, he was permitted to enjoy
a greater degree of freedom and for
the first time he gave an account of
the happenings in the first few hours
after the bullet found its mark.'
The Colonel said that on Monday
he expected to leave for Oyster Bay
and hoped-to be back in the cam.
paignj making speeches again week
after next '
'1 feel as lively as a bulldog," said
the Colonel, by way of a preface. He
was sitting on a huge leather chair by
a window in Mrs. Roosevelt's room,
adjoining his own.
-What seemed to impress Colonel
Roosevelt most strongly was not the
shooting itself he seemed to accept
that as a thing of the past, to be dis.
missed once it was over but rather
his hour on the stage of the Milwau.
kee Auditorium, when he was speak,
ing with a bullet in his side. He in.
sisted that to make the speech was
only what any other man would have
done under the circumstances.

Minister Glories In Fact That He Is
Not in Accord With Mills
Officers are Elect,

The Baptist State Convention,
which . adjourned Friday evening,
elected the following officers to serve
for the ensuing year:
President, Jeft. H. Irish, of Eugene;
vice president, Rev. W. H Beaven,
Portland; recording secretary, Rev.
D. M. McPhail, Portland; historical
secretary. Rev. H. F. Merrill, Albany;

J. C. Molam, Portland additional
members of board of managers, H. F.
Merrill, E. M. Runyon, Arthur Conk
lin and J. O. Maxwell.
Dr. W. B. Hinson, who spoke at
the morning session upon "The Work
of Christ," isaid that someone had
complained that in his view of atone"
ment he was not in accord with B.
Fay Mills. He said ; that he gloried
in the fact that he was not. He de
clared,! if the Bible was true, it is
wrong to say "A. D. '12."
"Christ existed long before Beth
lehem," said the minister.- "In the
beginning," was the word. If Christ
came to Bethlehem as Budda came to
India, or Mohammed to Arabia, then
Christ can never save us. I have
been saved by God and I know. it. I
will not turn away from eating good
wbeaten bread to make a meal of the
semirings of the street. Like the
apostle of old, "I know in whom I
have believed.'. I am saved by the
death of Christ and by the life of
Christ before his crucifixion. Ir I
ask of Sinai, 'What do you want of
me?' 'I want your life or your blood,'
I answer, 'I'll give you both and be
doubly sijre.' There is the life of
my substitute, and there is his blood
that was shed for me.
"The man who says, 'You can't
know anything about the other world.V
I answer that I can. Elijah came
back; Moses came back; Dairus'
daughter came back; the young man
Lazarus came back; the youth from
Nain came back; Jesus himself made
several journeys to and fro. He
went in the body. He went in a chang
ed body as mine shall be changed.
Where am I going? I don't need to
attend seances where long haired
men and short haired women plan

Arouse Hotel Guests Who Go
Quietly to Lob.
by
About forty guests at the Electric
hotel were imperiled shortly before
1 oTclock this morning when fire
started in the office of T. L. Char
man's drugstore, which occupies part
of the ground floor of the hotel build
ing. The blaze was extinguished by
the fire, department before ' it had
gained much headway. All the hotel
guests either went to the lobby or in
to the street and waited until Chief
of the Fire Department , Hannaford
announced that there was no further
danger. Many of the guests were deL
egates to the Baptist Convention.
Mrs J. J. Tobin, wife of the propri
etor of the hotel, and her. brother-in-law,
Charles Tobin, were in the lob
by of the hotel, . when , Mrs. Tobin
smelled smoke. She and Mr. Tobin
made an investigation and upon go
ing into a room above the drugstore
noticed smoke coming through the
floor. Mrs. Tobin telephoned to have
the fire department' called out while
Mr. Tobin aroused the guests. He
told them there was no immediate
danger, but they - had . better dress
quickly and get out of the building.
None of the. guests became excited,
although a number went to the lob
by scantily attired.
The fire was in the office of the
drugstore and it is thought caught
from defective insulation of an elect
ric wire. The loss, it is thought, is
not more tnan $500. The fire was
extinguished by a chemical engine.
When the blaze was discovered the
wind was blowing at a high rate and
had it gained much headway the en
tire building and probably others
would have been burned. All the
lights in the city were out at the time.
Night Policemen Green, Frost and
Cooke were among the first to arrive
at the burning building. The entire
fire department responded promptly
and did fine work.

PROFFITT FALLS DEAD INTO

TWO YOUNG MEN HELD BY SHERIFF
John Finucane and Harry Tim
mona With Miss Proffitt and
Clara Johnson on all
Night Trip
The authorities late last night an
nounced that they were unable to ex"
plain the suicide of Valeria Proffitt,
fifteen years of age, who, after a joy
ride in Portland, died in her mother's
arms early Friday morning. -John
Finucane and Harry Timmons, each
twenty-two years of age, and Clara
Johnson, fifteen years of age, the
other members of the automobile
party, are being held pending an ex
amination. , The men are accused of
contributing to the delinquincy of a
minor. An autopsy showed that the
girl who ended her life by drinking
carbolic acid had not been attacked,
and the only motive advanced for her
act is that she feared her parents
would scold her for having spent the
night away from home.
Mrs. Proffitt is prostrated, and it
is feared the shock may result ser
iously. Coroner Wilson will hold an
inquest at 10 o'clock this morning,
Frank Proffitt, father of the dead girl,
insisting that a thorough investiga
tion be made.'
Shortly before eight o'clock Friday
morning the Proffitt girl ran into her
home and seizing her mother about
the neck, exclaimed:
"Mother, I am going to die: Good
bye."
The girl became unconscious at
once, an . died before medical aid
could be summoned. It was found
that she had purchased the carbolic
acid from the general merchandise
store of Everhart & Hall on Molalla
and Hood avenues a few minutes be
fore she reached home. She informed
Mrs. Hall that her sister had cut her
finger -and said she wanted the acid
to, apply to the wound. The haif-emp-tied
vial of poison was found by the
dead girl's father in the yard near the
house.
The Johnso girl was taken into
custody soon after the death of her
friend and informed sheriff Mass of
the automobile trip and the occu
pants of the car. Finucane, who is
employed by a street contractor, was
found at work on the street by the
sheriff and taken to his. office. Tim
mons was found at his home in Glad'
