President Taft Sends His Deepest Ex-
pressions of Sympathy to Mr.
Roosevelt. •
New York.—President Taft Issued
a statement Tuesday relative to the
shooting of Colonel Roosevelt
"1 can not withhold an expression
of horror," he suiil, "at the act of the
maniac who attempted to assassinate
Colonel Roosevelt.
"I feel the deepest sympathy for
A : w It and his fiiniil), und 1
,Wli'i.at ih« omul may p. ve be
only a fie -h wound and thai, a* the
Burgeons predict, there may Ua ao
complications."
The president's statement con
till lies
"This assault, the shooting of Mayor
Gaynor and the assassination of three
out of the last nine presidents, are
events which must cause solemn re-
flection by all A.nerlcans upon condi-
tions vhich make possible that such
dastardly deeds may occur In a coun-
try affording to it - citizens such com-
plete advantages of civil liberty.
'It is difficult entirely to avoid the
malignant purpose of the cunningly In
Bane The severe enforcement of the
laws against the carrying of conceal
od weapons and the more rigoroui. and
certain prosecution of all such at '
tempted crimes ure of course helpful,
but the condemnation of all good citi-
zen-. of such practices and their co-
operation in preventing the spread of
vicious doctrines which would excuse
or palliate an attempt to remedy
funded wrongs by resort to violence
would be more effective
"I speak for the American people In
expressing the profound hope that Mr
Roosevelt shall speedily recover from
tills dastardly act."
