As & result of the traumatism, (bruise)
received In the trolley-car accident at

temporarily disabling;
INDIANAPOLIS, Sept 23. President
Roosevelt'3 Western trip came to an un
timely end In this city today. Ho was
found to bo suffering' from a swelling of
the left leg, between the knee and tho
ankle, that required immediate surgical
attention, and instead of being taken to
the train to continue his journey to Fort
Wayne and Milwaukee, he was conveyed
to St. Vincent's Hospital, where he was
operated on. The operation occurred at
S:45 o'clock, and lasted only a short time,
when ho was taken to a private room in
the hospital to rest. After taking a
light luncheon at 7:50 P. Mi, "ha was con-
verflL T3AtttrrstBir 'lo his train;rwhlch
xmu. oeen oacnea up on a -x near.-ine
hospital, and at 7:50 the. train left for
Washington.
The accident which befell him at Pitts
field, Mass., when a trolley car crashed
Into his carriage, is responsible for the
sudden ending of the President's trip,
and his being compelled to undergo the
operation. In tha't accident his knee was
badly bruised and an abscess quickly
formed which gave him some trouble,
but not enough at first to Interfere with
his plans. Dr. Lung, his official physi
cian, together with Dr. Richardson, who
accompanied him on the trip, deemed It
advisable today to consult other doctors.
Accordingly Drs. Oliver and Cook were
called to the Columbia Club, where the
President was to be entertained at lunch.
They decided that an operation was
necessary, and that it should be per
formed at once. This decision was ar
rived at before luncheon, but was not
allowed to Interfere with the meal.
The announcement came as a thunder
clap out of a clear sky. The President
appeared In such good health otherwise
that It was hard to believe he was about
to undergo an operation. He had deliv
ered an address earlier In the day before
the Spanish-American War veterans, and
also addressed the citizens of Indian
apolis from the balcony of the Commer
cial Club." He was the picture of health,
and many comments were made during
the early part of the day on how well
he looked. It was noticed, however, that
'he walked with a slight limp.
On the Operating; Table.
The President was driven from the club
house to St. "Vincent's Hospital, where
he was taken to a private operating
room. He was accompmled by Secretary
Cortelyou, Assistant Secretaries Loeb
and Barns, Governor Durbln and Sena
tors Beverldge and Fairbanks. The
operation was performed by Dr. John
Oliver, assisted -by Henry Jameson and
Dr. Cook. The operation finished, the
President was removed to his room. Ho
did not take anesthetics.
The President was cheerful through
out. The hospital was guarded by a de
tachment of 20 soldiers, all of whom
served In the Spanish-American War,
under command of Colonel Russell B.
Harrison. Colonel Harrison was in
structed to arrange! with the Sisters in
charge of the hospital thit no informa
tion as to the President should be given
out by telephone. All news came through
Secretary Cortelyou. As the news spread
throughout tho city, the telephone was
kept busy, but the same answer was
given to all that nothing- could be told
over the telephone.
First Information to Crowd.
The first intlniatlon that anything was
wrong came in rumors to the great crowd
that was patiently waiting around tho
Columbia Club and the Sailors' and Sol
diers' monument for the President to ap
pear. It was about 3:30 o'clock, half an
hour after the time set for the President
to leave the city, that a few of the fa
vored ones In the crowd received infor
mation that the President was sick, and
the rest of the trip would be abandoned.
These statements were promptly denied
as fast as they gained currency, but soon
the rumors began to take on a more seri
ous character. -
"The President has burst a blood ves
sel was a whisper that went around
among the police officers and soldiers.
"This cannot bo true," said others, "for
the President is in the corridor convers
ing -with Senator Fairbanks.
Then It was said the President was sick.

so far has ever traveled its entire length
from Green River Station to the mouth
of tho canyon. This exploit, scientists
say, wa3 one of the most notable geo
graphical, geological and ethnological ex
plorations and surveys In the history, of
North America. It was partly under
taken In connection with the Smithson
ian Institution, and partly by means of
his own private resources. His work, as
director of the Government geographical
and geological surveys in , the Rocky
Mountain region In the early '70's, was
largely responsible for his selection for
executive responsibilities later in his
city. This Rocky Mountain district was
one of four surveys of the territories,
which, in 1879, were combined Into tho
present Geographical Survey. He had
been a director of American Anthemology
since he founded it In 1879, and also was
director of the Geological Survey for
more than a decade, beginning in 18S9.

Communication Interrupted.
WASHINGTON, Sept 23. The Colom
bian revolution has broken out in a new
plaqe, according to Information received
at the Navy Department today. An
American fruit company transmitted to
,Secretary Moody a cablegram from Its
agents at Santa Marta, a place on the
north coast of Colombia, near the mouth
of the Magdalena River; saying that con
ditions there were very much disturbed
and that telegraph and railroad commu
nication had been interrupted, and re
questing the department's attention. The
dispatch wits sent at once to the State
Department, and our Consul at Barran
quilla, a place near Santa Marta. was
called on for an immediate report con
cerning the situation. This report 13 ex
pected tomorrow, and until It Is received
no action looking to the dispatch of a
warship will be taken by the Navy De
partment. TO CONFER WITH COGHLAN.
3Ioody Will Tnllc Over West Indies
Situation Before Olympla Sails.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 23. Rear-Admlral
John B. Coghlan, second In command on
the North Atlantic station, has been sum
moned to Washington to discuss the gen
eral situation in the West Indies before
departing for those waters on his flag
ship, the Olympla. The sending of Rear
Admlral Coghlan with his flagship to the
West Indies is the result of the determi
nation of Secretary Moody to afford bet
ter protection for American interests in
a locality where protection is likely to be
needed at any time. Heretofore the
United States naval representation in the
West Indies has proved inadequate to
meet the demands for ships which have
been made from various quarters simul
taneously, and the Navy Department ha3
decided to keep a force In the Caribbean
Sea which is able to cope with a single,
double or triple call as the case may be.
The Navy Department has received a
telegram announcing the- arrival at
Colon yesterday of the Panther with the
marine battalion aboard. Commander
McCrea, who from his long experience In
dealing with affairs in South and Central
America, has a valuable knowledge of the
conditions there, had a short talk with
Secretary Moody today qn that subject.
Bolivian Dispute 3InyBe Settled.

ment House In the presence of President
RIesco. the Argentina Minister, Senor Por
tella and delegates from the diplomatic
corps and the local authorities. It Is re
ported that a prompt settlement of the
questions in dispute with Bolivia Is
likely, and that it will result in stabllity
to this part of the world.

REPUBLICANS HAVE WARM TIME

a Midnight Conference Establishes
Harmony Senator, Hlgglna Now
Leads for Second Place
New York Republicans will name a
slate ticket, but the slate has already
been broken by Governor Odell. who
demanded and finally succeeded in se
curing the withdrawal of Sheldon for
Lieutenant-Governor. ""Sheldon was
backed by Senator Piatt, but Odell had
his way when he threatened to with
draw. His renomlnatlon today Is cer
tain. The committee on platform put
in yesterday without coming to an
"agreement, but Is expected to report
early today.
SARATOGA, N. Y., Sept.24. The slate
prepared fcr the New York Republican
convention, now In session, was broken
tonight by Governor Odell when he re
fused to be a candidate for re-election
if George Sheldon were nominated for
Lieutenant-Governor. The Governor's
declaration created a sensation, and for
a time a rupture between himself arid
Senator Piatt was imminent. Governor
Odell communicated hia desire to Mr.
Sheldon, who consulted with Senator
Piatt, and declined to quit the race. Gov
ernor Odell then appealed to Senator
PJatt ,to use his Influence to get ShcWm
to retire. Senator Piatt announced he
would -not make the request, and that
Mr. Sheldon was In to stay. In the mean
time, "the Kings County delegation, head
ed by Lieutenant-Governor Woodruff, ha4
had hints of Governor Odell's request and
immediately resumed Its attack upon Mr.
Sheldon. -'
The basis of the fight on Sheldon wa3
his alleged leaning toward ajfd Interest
in trusts as well as distilleries. Governor
Cdell gave as a reason -for his action
that he was of the opinion that Mr. Shel
don's candidacy would Jeopardize the
success of ttfe whole ticket. The Gov
ernor added thaj: he had sefected Mr.
Sheldon for theplace, and was his close
personal friend, but had reached the
conclusion hat It was best Mr. Sheldon
should roflre.
Odell Threatens to Withdraw.
When the news of this trouble between
the leaders became public In Its entirety,
the previous apathetic attitude of tha
rank and file of the delegates to the state
convention changed to one of liveliest in
terest.' Governor Odell's friends began- to
work actively to get Mr. Sheldon to re
tire, and as a result of the agitation tele
grams began pouring In from all sections
of the state, asking delegates not to vote
for Sheldon on the ground of his busi
ness affiliations. Leaders from up tho
state were apprised of the fact that the
Governor wan averse to Mr. Sheldon's
nomination, and toward 9 o'clock the news
was known about hotel corridors. About
that time Governor Odell. in response to a
query from Lieutenant-Governor Woodruff
as to his attitude on the Sheldon matter,
sent a telegram saying that he (Odell)
would not run on the ticket If SheWon'a
name was on It. Governor Odell's father
and brother then went to the telephone
and told the Governor that he must coma
to Saratoga and straighten out the mat
ter. Governor Odell reached here at 9:30
o'clock. It was suggested to him that he
go at once to the Orange County head
quarters, but he replied: "No; I will go
at once to Senator Platt." Arriving at
the United States House, followed by a
score of interested politicians, the Gov
ernor was applauded. He passed Into Sen
ator Piatt's cottage. At 2 o'clock thla
(Wednesday) morning Governor Odell left
the room and announced that Mr. Shel
don had withdrawn from tho contest. At
this late hour the indications arc that
Senator Frank A. Higgins, of Cattaraugus,
will be the nominee for Lieutenant-Governor.
The announcement of the with
drawal of Mr. Sheldon from the contest
was greett-1! with hearty cheers by a crowd
of nearly 3c0 delegates, who had waited
anxiously for the conclusion of tile con
ference of the leaders.
Sheldon's Letter of Withdrawal.
Later Mr. Sheldon gave out the follow
ing letter:
"Hon. Thomas C. Platt My Dear Sir:
I became- a candidate for Lieutenant-Governor
on the Republican state ticket at
the request of the leaders of the party.
It was with great reluctance that I con
sented to leave my private affairs for pub
lic office, and the position which I have
always enjoyed as a worker in the ranks,
but since my candidacy was announced
here there have been attacks made upon
my business, which, while admitting it to
be honorable, are to the effect that it can
be misrepresented and an injury thereby
done the ticket. I entered this canvass
unselfishly. In the belief that I might be
of benefit to a party of which I have al
ways been an ardent supported and a life
long friend, but I am unwilling to remain
