Hyde Park, Sept. 9.

"I deeply regret the attempt made upon Senator Long's life," declared President Roosevelt, speaking to-day of the Baton Rouge tragedy. "This spirit of violence is not American and has no place in the con- sideration of public affairs, least of all at a time when calm and dispassionate approach to the problems of the day is so essential."-Reuter.

DANGEROUS CONDITION

Baton Rouge, Sept. 9. Despite an official bulletin declaring that Senator, Huey P. Long's chances of recovery had been greatly increased, it is learned in a reliable source that the patient worsened during the day. He was bleeding internally and his pulse had increased.

A second blood transfusion was given about noon.
