PRESIDENT TAFT SENDS MESSAGES.
Special by United Press Wire.
Aboard Mayflower, wireless via Ellis Island, N. Y., Oct. IB: —
President Tart sent the following telegrams today to Colonel
Roosevelt and Mrs. Roosevelt:
"Colonel Roosevelt:
Greatly shocked to hear of the outrageous assault upon you. I
earnestly hope and pray that your recovery may be speedy and
without suffering.
WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT."
"Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, New York.
"I extend to you my heartfelt sympathy in your present distress.
Earnestly hope and pray that you and your family will soon learn
that all danger as to the colonel's condition is passed.'
WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT."
Taft appeared deeply affected by the news today that Roose
velt's wound was more serious than at first supposed.
(Special by United Press Wire.)
Chicago, Oct. 15:—Doctors attending Colonel Roosevelt
issued the following statement at 1:30 o'clock this afternoon:
"Absolute quiet is what the patient needs. He will notf
be able to receive any visitors this afternoon. The wound is a
serious one, and not a flesh-wound, as at first believed."
•» ~~~———————————
Chicago, Oct. 15:—Colonel Theodore Roosevelt will do no
more campaigning this year. Positive announcement that the
injuries to the ex-President were serious enough to keep him
ff the road during tbe remainder of the campaign was made
today at the Mercy Hospital, where he was to be operated on
and the bullet, fired by a lunatic in Milwaukee, removed.
He will be taken to his home in Oyster Bay as soon as he
will be able to leave the city. He will remain at home until bis
wound has completely mended and will take no active part in
the campaign. The necessity for such a precaution was point
ed out to the colonel by the physicians. The colonel reluct
antly agreed, insisting that he felt perfectly fit.
During the preliminary to the operation Colonel Roosevelt
patiently submitted to two X-ray examinations. He laughed
and joked with the physicians.
"Carrying that speech in your pocket certainly was lucky
for you," said Dr. Ochener, the Chicago surgeon who was to
help in the operation.
"Ho-ho!" laughed the colonel, "if they would let me have
my way about it! I feel great this morning and could deliver
a speech now, if you doctors would let me get up."
After the X-ray examination the physicians issued the fol
lowing statement:
"WE HAVE LOCATED THE EXACT COURSE OF
THE BULLET AND HAVE DETERMINED DEFINATELY
THAT IT DID NOT TOUCH ANY VITAL SPOT. COL
ONEL ROOSEVELT'S LIFE IS NOT IN ANY DANGER."
The surgeons then went into consultation to prepare for
the operation to remove the bullet.
After a consultation the colonel was put under ether and
a probe was made for the bullet. .
The shooting of Roosevelt is a story that shows the iron
nerve of the former President. He insisted on speaking before
the audience at the Auditoiium, in Milwaukee, after the bul
let had lodged in his body. The colouel had hardly begun his
speech when a woman in the audience ai'ose and said:
"Colonel Roosevelt, please go back and let the doctors
dress your wound."
The colonel thanked the woman but insisted that he was
not hurt and refused to listen to the entreaties of his party.
The colonel continued with a bitter arraignment of his op
ponents for an hour and a half ,until he became weak from the
Joss of blood, and then was taken from the hall and his wound
dressed.
On the trip down from Milwaukee Colonel Roosevelt was
allowed to sleep all the way. His temperature at that time was
normal but his pulse was eighty-four, whereas normally it is
seevnty-two.
Roosevelt awoke two hours later and said he did not feel
bad. His condition, however, is admitted to be serious. Im
mediately after reaching Mercy Hospital he was examined by
Dr. Tyrell and six other doctors at which time the bullet was
located under the tenth rib and against the wall of the chest.
The greatest dagger is believed ito be from blood poisoning,
as the bullet was fired from a i^usty revolver and passed
through manuscript and other articles in his pocket before
entering the flesh. v
The colonel is resting comfortably and the doctors de
clare that at the present time there is ferory reason to believe
he will recover. 'jj i

SCHRANK SAYS
I HE HAD DREAM
* I
Special 6]/ Unite Press Wire.
Milwaukee, Wis., Oct. 15:—John
Schrank, of East Tenth strgpt New
York, would-be assassin of Colonel
Roosevelt, when cross-examined to
day, said he shot Roosevelt because
President McKinley had appeared to
him in a dream and pointed out
Roosevelt as his slayer. He told of
having followed the colonel all
through the south attempting to get
a chance to shoot htm. He said he
thought Roosevelt a menace to the
country.
"I began to think of Roosevelt as
a menace when he cried 'thief at
the Chicago convention," said
Schrank today. "I looked upon his
plan to Btart a third party as a
danger. I was convinced that if he
were elected he would plungo the
country into a bloody war."
Schrank was spirited to the coun
ty Jail early this morning as the
authorities feared an attempt would
be made to do bim violence. He
slept soundly in bis cell until 7 j
o'clock today. He Is being held In
the county Jail until the outcome of
the former president's wound is def}-|
nltely known. The penalty for!
Schrank's crime, should Roosevelt
recover, will be from one to fifteen I
years in the penitentiary.
I
Later today Schrank was arraign
ed in the district court and pleaded
guilty. He was bonded on a $5,000
bail to the next term of the municipal
f-ourt in December. I
