He aaya that he feels aa well aa could he expected.'' CHICAGO. Oct. 17. Throughout a day of unbroken calm Colonel Roose velt lay In bis bed in Mercy Hospital with virtually no variation of his con dltion. , It was a day of waiting, with the ever-present possibility of complica tions, but with lessened fears on the part of those who were on watch. Colonel Roosevelt appeared to have recovered from the shock of the bul let, which for a time drained his vital ity, and so far aa a casual observer could detect he was In his normal con , dltion, but there was no relaxation in the strict regime and his physicians said lie was not out of danger. Records Are Kncouraslna:. Colonel Roosevelt's physicians were discussing among themselves tonight the time necessary for the Colonel to remain In the hospital. It was thought It might ba safe for him to leave for Oyster Bay Monday or Tuesday, but not even a tentative decision was reached. The clinical record for the day showed some variation 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 temperature 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 Inspection of the record for the day, Br. John F. Golden said it tal lied In every respect with conditions which were normal in Colonel Roose velt's case. Tetanus Possibilities Considered. The period of possible development of blood-poisoning has still another day to run and although the physicians said a change might occur within an hour at any time during the next day, they were more optimistic tonight as to the outcome than at any previous time. , The possibility of tetanus, or lock jaw, always to be reckoned with in the case of bullet wounds, haa to be con sidered, and as the period In which this might develop, the physicians said, is six or seven days. Colonel Roose velt will not be regarded as entirely out of danger should the next day pass with no signs of blood-poisoning. Dr. Scurry L. Terrell. Colonel Roosevelt's physician, said the Colonel could not leave the hospital safely until the ex piration of this period. Wife Continues to Rule. All through the day Mrs. Roosevelt was constantly at the bedside, and, al though her husband Jestingly com plained that he was the victim of ma chine rule, she said he must see no one except the members of his family. Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., Miss Ethel Roosevelt and Mrs. Nicholas Long worth talked with their father from time to time, but even these family chats were limited to a few minutes on each occasion. Twice during the day Mrs. Roosevelt made exceptions to her rule. Miss Jane Addams, of Hull House, one of the most active workers for the Progressive party, called late in the afternoon and spent ten minutes with Colonel Roosevelt. She had hardly departed when two babies, twins, who were born in the hospital, were brought In for a moment. Mirror Gives Outdoor View. With the aid of a mirror, which en abled him to catch a glimpse of the outer world without turning about In bed. Colonel Roosevelt looked at the street scenes, when he was not talking with Mrs. Roosevelt or reading. He was eager to be up and out of doors and spoke longingly of his horse, 6u dar, on which he Is accustomed to ride each morning when he Is at Sagamore 1111.

While his death came as a surprise to the public, as his true condition has been concealed throughout his long Illness, which began In August, his family and physi cians have been aware for some time that he probably could not survive. For more than a year Senator Hey burn has been in poor health and In that time has suffered several physi cal collapses. The last occurred Au gust 24, when he was opposing the Pen-rose-Archbold investigation resolution. Since that date Senator Heyburn has never been well, though his condition has varied from time to time. Collapse Follows Rally.

LAW DEMANDING DOMESTIC SKILIi WINS. Night School' for Scientific Culinary Training Crowded as Result of Educator's Hoax. . The statement made by XI. C. Camp bell, of the School Board, In his address at the opening of the new Lincoln High School building, that legislation was contemplated which would require every woman to exhibit a certificate of graduation In domestic science before she would be allowed to obtain a mar riage license. Is having the desired ef fect This Is shown by the fact that 82 young women were enrolled In the do mestic science night school only two days after It opened. Members of the School Board, upon hearing the report of Superintendent Rlgler to this effect at their meeting yesterday, congratu lated Chairman Campbell on the sue cess of his Implied threat of a life o manlessness to all girls not possessed of a domestic science certificate. The Directors dubbed the proposed legislative measure "the Campbell menace," and gravely discussed Its constitutionality, agreeing that while it would be sumptuary legislation. It waa to be regretted that something of the kind ceuld not be enacted. They gave full credit for the unexpectedly large attendance at the domestic scl ence night school classes to Mr. Camp bell's happy hoax, which is known to and has set every schoolgirl In the city thinking. . The sudden Interest which has been shown in the acquisition of culinary skill determined the Board's decision to allow the Monday domestic science lectures to be held In the Lincoln High School building, as any increase to the present class of E2 would overcrowd the night class assembly room at the trades school. The board was unanimous In declar ing that any legislation of the nature under discussion should contain provision, based on the proposed re quirement that girls graduating from ths' grammar school shall do so in dresses made by themselves, requiring that a further qualification for matrl mony be the ability of the fair candi date to design and make the gown In which she Is to take the wedding vows. ARITHMETIC IN DISFAVOR University Professor Says Store Reading Should Be Taught. ENTERPRISE, Or., Oct. 17. Spe clal.) "Arithmetic should be pried out of Its position as the cornerstone of the grade school courses," Dr. Joseph Scha fer, of the University of Oregon, told the convention of the Eastern Oregon teachers here today. More attention should be given to reading, he said. He would have a greater variety of subjects In the readers. Every great man, he said, has been a great reader. but arithmetic by Itself gets the stu dent nowhere. President Penrose, of Whitman Col lege, told the teachers the purpose of education was to train the child to vol untary attention and that children should be taught In the local schools to make the most of life In the home community, where they probably will live. President Kerr, of the Oregon Agrl cultural College, urged that In the coun try schools something more be done to train the young In special vocational lines. With a little training, he said, the farms of Oregon could be made to yield five bushels more of wheat to the acre. Officers will be elected tomor row. HARRIMAN OFFICIALS HERE R. S. Lovett, Julius. Krnttschnitt and A. I. Mohler Inspect Lines. Making a tour of Inspection of lines for the second time within three months, Robert S. Lovett. chairman of the executive board of the Harrlman system, arrived In Portland at 11:30 o'clock last night. Julius Kruttschnitt, director of maintenance and operation of the Harrlman lines, and A. L. Moh ler, president of the Union Pacific system, accompanied Judge Lovett. Judge Lovett and Mr. Kruttschnitt are expected to remain here two or three days. It Is believed that noth ing unusual Is connected with their visit further than that which would attach to a tour of Inspection. It is not probable that any announcement will be made now as to electric line extensions In the state. It Is reported. however, that the next Important move In- this work on "he part of the Har rlman people will be the construction of an electric loop line in the Hood River Valley. WILSON IS THREATENED Women Tell Police of Italian Who Says He AVI II Kill Candidate. WILMINGTON, Del., Oct. .17. A large number of policemen were distributed among the crowd at the opera-house here tonight when Governor Wilson spoke. This was the result of a threat made by an Italian to "shoot him the same as Roosevelt was shot." The Governor knew nothing of the affair,' neither did any member of his Immediate party. This morning Chief of Police Black was notified by Mrs Sarah Hudson, of Wilmington that while her sister, Mrs. Hattle Whitson, was leaving her place of employment yesterday she heard an Italian workman exclaim: Wilson will be here tomorrow and he will get a bullet through him the same as Roosevelt did. I will put one In him. I will shoot him myself." The police know the name of the Italian, but have not located him. 4 E TO BEGIN TODAY Police Lieutenant May Take Stand. PROSECUTION RESTS CASE Accused Man Will Contend H9 Is Conspiracy Victim. . , GRAFT TESTIMONY BARRED Court Refuses to Permit Evidence About Becker'a Fortune, Defense Winning Contention That Case on Trial Is Murder Only. NEW YORK, Oct. 17. The state rested 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 to the Jury. If Becker had his way. Hart said, he win go on the stand In his own be half. Whether his counsel will attempt to dissuade him from this desire has not been determined tonight. John K. Mclntyre, his chief attorney said: Becker Anxious to Take Staud. "Becker Is anxious to take th stand. We may allow him to, but this has not been determined." The defense has Indicated It will en deavor to prove that a clique of gam blers Inspired the murder of Rosen thal and that Becker Is the victim of a' conspiracy. Ex-District Attorney .Jerome will be one of a dozen or more whom the de fense plans to call. Mr. Jerome Is ex pected by Becker's counsel to break down a portion of the testimony of Jack Rose in connection with an al leged telephone conversation .with Becker, Introduced by the state to show that Becker had guilty knowledge of the crime. Pan I Witness for Defense. Samuel Paul, whose gambling place frequently was raided by Becker, and other members of the gambling fra ternity 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 of 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 over the prosecution. This was when Justice Goff granted a motion by Mr. Mcln tyre that there be excluded all testi mony tending to show that Becker had amassed a fortune In graft obtained from gamblers. Bankers Kept Off Stand. District Attorney Whitman had 1 bankers ready to swear that Becker had bank accounts totalling nearly $30, 000, but not one was allowed to testify. Justice Goff upheld Mr. Mclntyre's argument that without proof that Rosenthal, the "squealer,"' knew that Becker's bank account represented the proceeds of graft the evidence could not show that they constituted a motive for the killing of Rosenthal. 'Extortion and bribery are not charged In this Indictment," declared ' Becker's attorney. "The charge Is sole ly that of murder." To Introduce such proof, the prosecu tion recalled to the stand Jack Rose. Becker's alleged collector of graft, but Justice Goff refused to permit him to be examined along this line. "Lefty Louie's" Wife Testifies Mrs. Lillian Rosenberg, wife of "Lefty Louie," one of the four gunmen charged with the actual slaying of Rosenthal, furnished one of the sensations of to day's proceedings when she appeared as a state's witness. Although denying any knowledge of her husband's where abouts on the night of the murder. Mrs. Rosenberg told of the visit Sam Schepps and Jack Rose made to her home to ak the aid of her husband in getting Jack Zelig, the gang leader, out of Jail. This testimony, corroborative of the stories of Schepps and Rose, was in tended to strengthen one of the im portant links in the state's evidence. Mrs. Rosenberg was one of tne dozen witnesses put on by the Btate today to close up some of the loose ends of Its case, which has taken in all seven days to complete. Gunmen la Court. The only appearance of the four gun men In the case so far has been when they were brought into court to be identified by witnesses. As the quar tet are under Indictment and will be tried apart from Becker, It Is not ex pected they will be called to the stand In this trial. There was a wild scare In the Tombs tonight when Harry Horrowltz, better known as "Gyp the Blood," became 111. It was at first feared he had been poi soned but a physician decided the trou ble was Inflammation of the stomach. Max Margolls, who described himself as a "tipster" for newspapers, testified that he had known Becker for five months and was present at the so called "take" raid made by Becker on Rosenthal's gambling house and saw Becker there.
