Reports indicate the president continues to steadily improve with no complications. Buffalo mood shifts from gloom to joy as recovery progresses.
In Buffalo on Sept 10 Czolgosz was subjected to a lengthy police examination regarding his alleged accomplices. He denied help and restated his Friday account, prompting detectives to pursue external leads. Officials expect further third degree questioning tomorrow.
Pittsburg September 10 The last efforts to settle the steel strike have failed. The Amalgamated Association general executive board adjourned without date and without accepting any peace proposals or making counter offers. The National Civic Federation mediated proposal was unsatisfactory and President Shaffer led the unresolved discussions. The three day sessions ended in informal debate as out‑of‑town members prepared to leave.
Bulletin from the President's physicians reports improved condition with no complications foreseen. Early Sept 10 updates note steady gains, pulse around 104, temperature near 94.3, respiration 26, suggesting a rapid convalescence and positive outlook. Dr. McBurney set to depart.
The article notes public interest in how to pronounce Leon Czolgosz's surname after the McKinley assassination. William M. Deyas, immigration office interpreter, suggests pronouncing it Choalgosh, derived from a Polish verb meaning to drag or creep, likening the name to a creeping thing.
Buffalo police obtained the weapon used by Czolgosz to shoot the president. A soldier recovered it during the scuffle at the exposition and refused to surrender it. The brand-new 32 caliber pistol has two discharged chambers and three with cartridges. It could be bought for $2.50 and shows bright nickel plating, indicating recent purchase.
Local Anniston residents recall James Parker who helped save the president in Buffalo on Friday. Some say Parker formerly lived in Anniston and moved to Atlanta where he worked at the Kimball, while others deny Anniston ties.
