Dr. Murphy, chief surgeon of the
staff in consultation over the colonel's
case, announced that the would Is not
dangerous in It6elf. He. made this
statement before examining the ski
agraphs.
Following the announcement by the
authority of the colonel's managers
that he would cancel all engagements
and make no -more speeches during
the campaign, the committee said.lt

candidate to make one address In
New York. October 26 was mentioned
as the possible date for the Madison
Square Garden speech if. the colonel
Is able.
The hero of the attempted assassin
nation, the ma nwho Is given the
credit for having prevented Schrank
from firing the second shot for which
his finger was straining at the trigger
when.' he was overpowered, is Albert
S. Martin, the colonel's stenographer.
Martin had his chance when the crank,
firing his shot at the colonel and he
was ready for it. All through the
present tour Martin has been at the
colonel's side. More than once the
colonel has reproved him for being
"too rough." In Saginaw. Mich., Mar
tin threw himself against a man who
was pushing forward and dumped him
Into the gutter. For this he was re
buked by Roosevelt, but Martin said
after the shooting he thought that the
man at Saginaw and Schrank were the
lame.
It was announced at Roosevelt's
room at the Mercy hospital today that
Mrs. Roosevelt would arrive in Chi

Chicago, Oct.' 15.—-Colonel Roosevelt at 9 o'clock
was much stronger than he was early in the morning, ac
cording to the attending physicians. He was bright and
cheerful and seemed rested. He suffered little pain from
the wound.
"The tremendous strength and vitality of Colonel
Roosevelt is beginning to assert itself again," said Dr.
Terrill. "I expect his fine physical condition to bring him
through."
Colonel Roosevelt with a bullet in his chest fired last
night by John Schrank in Milwaukee, arrived here at 6:30
this morning. It was first planned to let him rest in the
coach in a quiet part of the railroad yards, but following
an examination made by Dr. John Murphy, the noted
surgeon, he was ordered taken to Mercy hospital.
The X-ray examination showed the bullet located in
the deep tissue, but apparently at a safe distance from the
lung. It is probable that an operation will be performed.
A reassuring telegram was sent to Mrs. Rooseve'
The colonel was very weak when he arrived in Chica
go and he at first insisted he would not ride in the ambu
lance but would go to the hospital in an automobile. He
was hurried in the ambulance, however, and when he en
tered the hospital he walked leaning on the arm of Dr.
Murphy.
This morning the Roosevelt managers said the col
onel would make no more campaign speeches during the
campaign unless unforseen conditions again thrust him
to the platform.
The X-ray plates which formed the
aubject of a consultation between Dr.
Murphy, and Dr. Be vans, showed the
course of the bullet not to have taken
a dangerous direction unless the last
series of plates should show it to havo
entered the thoracic cavity. The
wound is in the right breast an inch
above the nipple. The course of the
bullet appeared to be down and to
ward the breastbone.
The special car "Mayflower" in
which the colonel has been traveling,
and the "Sunbeam," the correspond
ents' car which has been run with the
colonel's car, were both released by
the colonel's managers today.
The first person whom the colonel
asked to see after he had breakfast
was Rev. Edward Vattman, a former
army chaplain who is retired with
the rank, of major. He and the colonel
are old friends and this morning they
talked for twenty-five minutes. When
Rev. Vattman left he said: "He'll get
well. There is no danger he will die
this time."

Milwaukee, Oct. 15.—John Schrank.
who attempted to kill Colonel Roose
velt by shooting last night just as
the colonel was leaving his hotel to
make an address at the auditorium,
looked little the worse for a night
spent in the cell at the central sta
tion, reposing on a plank for a bed.
Schrank called for- a cup of coffee
and something to eat shortly after 7
o'clock. He was given a sandwich
which he ate though he said his ap
petite was not very keen. The pris
oner probably will not be taken into
court today. It is planned to have
him Bertillioned during the day and
to await advice of his record from
the New York police department.
"How do you feel this morning.
Schrank?" was asked the prisoner as
he eat on the plank in his cell..
"Oh, pretty well, considering every
thing," he answered. "I am used to
sleeping on a bed not quite so soft
as this one," he added, pointing to the
wide board on which he was sitting
just Inside the cell door.
The colonel's assailant still sticks
to his story told last night that the
shooting was the result of a vision
which came to him some time ago.
Asked as to whether it was his
vision to kill the former president
Schrank said it was not. He seemed
unpreturbed over the consequences
awaiting him as the result of the
shooting.
Schrank was taken to the district
court this morning for a preliminary
examination. This action was taken
on the recommendation of District At
torney Zabel who issued a warrant
charging him with attempting to kill
Colonel Roosevelt Schrank told
Judge Neelen that he preferred to
have the case tried in a hurry.
"All right" remarked the judge. "I
think this disposes of the matter so
far as we can go this morning. I'll
fix ball at $7,500, the maximum under
the charge upon which the prisoner is
arraigned."
Schrank immediately
was
returned
to the central station. As soon
aa
the
prisoner left the court room Judge
Neelen ordered that the bullets re
maining in the assassin's gun be taken
to the laboratory of Professor E. W.
Somer for a chemical test to see if
they were poisonous. It's my urgent
order that a test be made immediately
and the Information of the results con
veyed to me so I can telegraph Roose
velt's surgeons in case the test shows
there'll be further complications In
the colonels wound from poison, said
the judge.
Story of Shooting.
Milwaukee, Oct. 15.—Colonel Theo
dore Roosevelt was shot and slightly
wounded last night as he was leaving
the Gllpatrlc hotel tor the auditorium
to make a speech. The wound was
superficial and the colonel went on to
make his speech after seeing the as
sailant arrested and taken to the po
lice station. Henry F. Cochems seised
the would-be asabsin and held him
until policemen came. Mobs surged
around the man, wno apparently Is
radical on the subject of Roosevelt
running for a third term. The police
suoceeded In protecting the assailant
from the mob. The assassin, who Is
small of stature,
admitted
Or lug
the
shot, saying "any man looking for a
third term ought to be shot"
Roosevelt completed hts speech at
9:46 andwas taken to Emergency hos
pital, where six physicians examined
the .wound' and decided to take an
Xray photograph. Roosevelt's life
was probably saved by a manuscript
of his speech last night The bullet
truck the manuscript. The assailant,
who after an hour's examination told
the police that his name is John
Schrank, S70 East Tenth street. New
York, was prevented from firing the
second shot by Albert H. Martin, one
of Roosevelt's secretaries. Roosevelt
had just stepped into an automobile
when the assailant fired. Martin who
was standing nearby, leaped onto the
man's shoulders bearing him to the
ground. Captain A. O. Glrard of
Milwaukee, on the front seat of the
car, leaped on the assassin, disarming
him: "Lynch him," went up from
the crowd, but Roosevelt who scarce
ly moved when the bullet struck him,
told the mob to spare the assassin.
A positive statement that Roosevelt
was not seriously injured was made
by Dr. Frederick Stratton of Mil
waukee, who examined the colonel
and declared there was no cause for
alarm.
"The wound Is a superficial one,"
said the physician. "The bullet is im
bedded in the muscular tissue. The
bullet positively did not reach his
lung and there is no truth in the re
ports that he was dangerously hurt"

said that on the jyght of the murder
he had been lootkflf for Rosenthal "to
take a shot at hi*". htmse'f. Becker
told him,, he sald,|-that while passing
the Hotel Cadillagj in an automobile

he had ordered t)lp chauffeur to slow
down so that "if l»w that-—Rosen

have taken a shodat him myself."
Webber corroborated in all import
ant details the Story of the murder as
told by "Bald Jack" Rose on Satur
day. Hie had known Herman Rosen
thal for fifteen years and Jack Rose
for the same time. He had known
Becker for two years, having first met
him in Jack Roeea pjaoe, and the next
time front ot hfc (Webber's) poker
rooms.
"He used to come to my place of
ten." said Webber.
"Did you ever have conversation
with Becker about Rosenthal?"
"Yes, with Harry Vallon and Jack
Rose.
five hundred people fol­
lowed the patrol wagon in wrought up
frenzy eager to get at the man who
did the shooting.
The eapon used is said to have
been- a 32-caliber revolver.
Colonel Roosevelt's life. was prob
ably saved by a. manuscript of the
speech which he delivered last night.
The bullet struck the manuscript
which retarded its force as it passed
through into the flesh.
The assassin was prevented from
firing a second shot by Henry F.
Cochems, chairman of the. speaker's
bureau of the progressive party. Col
onel Roosevelt had just stepped into
an automobile when the
pushed his way through the crowd in
the street and fire. Cochems, who. was
standing in the car with the colonel,
leaped onto the man's shoulders and
bore him to the ground.
Captain A. O. Glrard of Milwaukee,
who was on the- front seat, jumped
almost at the same" time, and in an

disarmed.

"I said 'Charley, that's a pretty
dangerous thing to do—to murder a

"'That's all right,' said Becker.
'He's got to be atoped.'

when he went to the Metropole to
find out whether Rosenthal was there.
"I did not," Webber answered.
"What did you say?"
"Hello, Herman."
"In a friendly way?"
"Yes, sir."
"At the moment when you said
'hello, Herman' you knew he was go

"Yes, sir."
"When you got back to your poker

"That's all I remember."
"Did you know that Schepps was

murder?"
"Not until next day. I was told

"He did not."
"Did you advance money to
Schepps to flee the jurisdiction?"
"I did not."
"You are a man worth consider

SIMM OIL
Bill Intended to Bar Com
pany From Sale of Il
luminating Oils.
Berlin, Oct. 15.—A government bill
aimed at the Standard Oil company is
announced today in the semi-official
Norddeutsche Allgemslne Zeitung.
The provisions of the bill are intended
to bar that company from the whole
sale business in illuminating oils in
Germany, which is to be entrusted to
a national stock company operating
under government supervision.
The new company is to be empow
ered to acquire the existing wholesale
oil plants and stock by expropriation
if necessary.
The capital of the new company is
to be furnished partly by the big Ger
man banks and partly by open sub
scription. The banks are to be given
registered shares and an increased
voting power in order to prevent any
attempt to obtain foreign control.
The life of the corporation Is fixed at
thirty years.

Indianapolis, Oct. 15.—While Jas.
B. McNamara and his accomplices
were tossing about in a launch near
San Francisco with the dynamite lat
er
used in explosions at Los Angeles,
they came near losing the explosive In
the ocean. Paul J. Stuparich, owner
or a safe seven miles from San Fran
cisco so testified at the "dynamito
conspiracy" trial today. He had told
of the first appearance of a gasoline
launch near his cafe on Sept. 20,
1910, ten days before the Los Angeles
Times explosion, In which were three
men answering the description of Mc
Namara, F. A. Schmitt and David
Caplan and of the return of the
launch several times.
"The first time she hove In." said
Stuparich, "'the launeh bore the name
Pastime. The men came up to my
place to eat and appeared to bo
ffdttiog the launch ready for soine
kind of a cruise. When they came
back later, I noticed the launch's
name had been changed to Peerless
The men asked me for some green
paint which I gave them. Later 1

turning around I yelled 'say fellows,

It appeared to be tipping into
the water. They made it snug and
that was the last I saw of them."
Stuparich was called as one of the
witnesses by whom the government's
attorneys assert tehy will prove the
connection between the McNamaras
and the present defendants who are
charged with illegal interstate ship
ment of explosives and with' con
spiracy. The canvass which the wit
ness said he saw on the launch was
declared to be the same as that
found later in a house which Mc
Namara rented in San Francisco and
in which a quantity of nitro gelatine
was found.
District Attorney Charles W. Miller
in the prosecution's zoning statement
said letters would be produced to
show that men other than McNamara
were aware of the arrangements for
securing the explosives.
The testimony of most of todav's
witnesses was confined to identifying
letters and contents of which are to
be made known letters, the contents
are to be made known later.
