BLOOD POISONING FEARED-F-'OUR
PHYSICIANS IN CHARGE.
Taken te Hospital In Indianapolis His
Injury In Trolley Aoeldent the
Souree of TroubleAll En-
gagements Caneellcd.
Indlanaiiolls Ind.. Sen. SS. Great
excitement wm prortncwl here today
when the announcement was made
that I'ralilent Roosevelt hail
hait concoleil all engagements and had
been taken to St. Vincent's hospital to
le operated upon for Injuries received
hi the Plttsfleld trolley wreck. Ex-
citement grew more intense when It
was learned that Dr. Hiclardson had
been sent for to aid Ors. Ollvor and
Cook of this city and Dr. Lung the
president's attending physician. Hu-
mors flew thick and fast and It was
reported that the presidert was dying
having suddenly collapsed. Othor re-
ports had It that blood poison had set
In somo tlmo ago hut that owing to
tho prosldont's Indomitable will ho
had kept up until almost to death's
door. Groat crowds gathered In the
streets and tho bulletin boards wore
tho greatest objects of Intorost In the
city. Extra odltions of all aftornoon
papers wero soon out with startling
headllnos and full of rumors.
It is believed by those who arc host
able to know that the prosldont's ali-
ment Is by no means necessarily dan-
gerous. Ho Is undoubtedly suffering
from blood poisoning to a slight degree
duo to a wound received on the loft log
In tho trolley car accident at Plttsfleld
Mass. An abscess has formed and tho
surgeons havo determined that the
president's health demands Immediate
rest and also tho Immodlato surgical
attention must bo given tho abscess.
The president dostrcd to go homo
first but the surgeons Insisted upon
his going to St. Vincent's hospital In
this city. Tho surgeons do not bollove
that the president is nccosBarlly In tho
least danger but thoy propose to take
no risks and Insisted not only upon
the cancellation of all engagements
but Immediate removal to a hospital
for surgical nttontlon.
Indianapolis Ind. Sept. 23. Secre-
tary Cortelyou this ovonlng Issuod tho
following bulletin which while reas-
suring ns to Immediate dnnger yet
causes much uneaslnoss In that It con-
firms previous rumors as to tho prosl-
dont's Illness tho array of emi-
nent surgeons nnd the fact that tho
president was not permitted to go
homo to bo operated upon being tho
most disquieting foaturo.
As a result of tho trolley accident at
Plttsfleld Mass. tho president rocolv-
ed several bruises. One of thoso on
tho loft leg between tho knee and tho
ankle hat developed into a small ab-
scess. The prrMclmt Is pntlrrly well
otherwise and has continued to meet
the several engagements of his Itiner-
ary but In View of the coutlnuotisttess
of the abscesses and out of abundance
of caution Drs. Oliver and Cook of
Indianapolis were requested to meet
Dr. Lung the president's surgeon at
Inrtlanapolte. Dr. Richardson of Wash-
ington I). 0. was also one of the num-
ber. In the opinion of the doctors the
trouble necessitates an operation
which they think should he performed
at once. After the operation a the
president will require entire rest
probably for at least teu days or two
weeks It Wis been necessary to can-
cel all of the remaining engagements
of his trip and he will go directly from
Indlanapollf to Washington this even-
ing. Physician say that th case Is
not In any way serious and that there
Is no danger whatever. This state-
ment Is made that the false rumors
may not disturb the people and that
they may be authoritatively advised of
the exact nature of the case.
Signed George II. Cortelyou secre-
tary to the president.
Indianapolis Ind. Sept. 23. Presi-
dent Kooesvalt was placed on the
operating table ready for an operation
for an nbscoss of tho leg at 4:30
o'clock Woltorn time. Dr. hung the
president's own physician ordered the
operation which was performed by
Dr. Jnmeson who attended ex-I'resl-dent

At 5:40 o'clock this ovenlng Secre-
tary Cortelyou gave out the following
bullotln:
"At S:15 the president went from
the Columbia club to St. Vlncont's hos-
pital In his own carriage and shortly
after ho was In tho hospital the oper-
ation required was porformod by Dr.
Goorgo H. Oliver of Indianapolis In
consultation with tho president's phy-
sician Dr. Goorgo A. Lung nnd Dr.
George J. Cook Dr. Henry Jnmeson
and Dr. .1. JdUchardBon. At tho con-
clusion of th evaporation the president's
physicians issuod tho following state-
ment: "As a result of tho traumatism
(brulso) rocolvod In tho trolloy accl-
dont at Plttsflold Mass. thoro was
found to bo a ctirouniBcrlbed collec-
tion of perfectly puro serum In the
mlddlo third of tho left anterior tibial
roglon tho sac containing about two
ouncos which wns romoved. Tho In-
dications are that the president should
mako apeody recovery. It Is absolute-
ly Imperative however that ho should
remain quiet and refrain from using
the leg. The trouble Is not serious
but temporarily disabling.' "
