Washington Hears News
WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.—News of the
attempt on Colonel Roosevelt's life
came as a complete shock to Washing
ton, official and ordinary. Hbtel lob
bies buzzed with excitement, streets
became filled with expectant people
reading bulletin boards and the crowds
emerging from the theaters eagerly
read newspaper extras.
Few members of the cabinet were in
the city. Secretary Knox and Secretary
Fisher have just landed on the Pacific
coast, one from Japan and one from
Hawaii. Secretary Stimson of the war
department, who was the colonel's can
didate for governor of New York In
1910 and one of his personal friends.
was on his way to a speaking trip in
New York state for President Taft.
Secretary Nagel, too, was on his way
to the west to speak In the president's
campaign, and Attorney General Wick
ersham was In New York. Secretary
Meyer was in New York at the naval
review with President Taft. Among
the attaches at the White House execu
tive offices Cue utmost anxiety was
shown.
He declined time and again to give
his name and finally was slipped out
of the rear door of the hotel into the
been summoned to receive h.m.
Hundreds of persons followed the
patrol wagon as It was driven at
breakneck speed down the streets and
across the Oneida street bridge.
CROWD SHOITS "KILL HIM"
Men and boys ran shouting behind
the wagon and crying: "Lynch him;
kill the brute. 1 ' and "Get a rope.*'
Scores reached the central police sta
tion in automobiles and carriages and
before the wagon could be backed up
to the station door the more fleet
footed ones were drawn up in line, and
when the man was taken from the
patrol the crowd pushed forward.
"Lynch him." again was the cry.
Sergeant Robert Flood had expected a
demonstration, and had several .patrol
men stand along the walk, so that the
crowd did not attempt to take the
man from the officers.
With an officer on each side of him,
the man was led into the station and
up to the desk. He was hurried into
the sergeant's office, where he was
quizzed, but he positively refused to
talk. Every attempt was made to get
something out of the man but it was
of no avail.
"Any man looking for a third term
ought to be shot," was al! he would
say, but it was enough to show that
he was willing to confess. He re
peated this several times, and it was
the only answer he would give the
police.
"Tomorrow I will tell you all you
want to know. I want to sleep to
night, and do not want to be bothered."
he said, as he was taken to his cell.
ASSASSIN A BAVARIAN
After a long cross examination
Colonel Roosevelt's assailant talked
more freely.
The shooting was the result of a
carefully laid plan by Schrank, which
often was frustrated, but in which he
finally succeeded, according to his
story.
The man talked freely after his first
stubborn refusal to give his name
when he was arrested by Sergeant
Mooney at the Gilpatrick hotel..
According to his story he formerly
ran a saloon at 370 East Tenth street
between avenues B and C. New York
1 city. He was born In Erding, Bavaria,
two hours out of Munich, the capital.
He Is 36 years old and came to this
country with his parents when he was
9 years old. He had been engaged In
the saloon business as proprietor and
as an employe of members of his fam
ily «early all, his life, until he decided
that it was his duty to kill Colonel
Roosevelt.
He said he had been personally ac
quainted with Roosevelt since the for
mer president was police commissioner
of New York in 1895.
He said he was first attracted to him
as a political personage during the con
vention in Chicago. Then he said he
began to think seriously of him as a
menace to his country when he cried
"Thief at that convention. He looked
upon his plan to start a third party as
a menace to the country, he said. He
said that his knowledge of history,
gained through much reading, con
vinced him that Roosevelt was engaged
in a dangerous undertaking. He de
clared he was convinced that If he
was defeated at the fall election he
would again cry "Thief," and that his
action would plunge the country into a
bloody civil war.
«He said he deemed it his duty, after
much consideration, to put Roosevelt
out of the way. He was living at his
home address at that time, he said, but
soon after he had a dream in which for
mer President McKinley appeared to
him. He was told by McKinley In this
dream that It was not CzoJgosz who
murdered him but Roosevelt. He said
McKinley In this dream told him that
the blood was on Roosevelt's hands
and that Roosevelt had killed him so
that he might become president.
AFFECTED BY NEWSPAPER TALK
Schrank said he was a pe»son more
deeply impressed by what h« read in
the newspapers than others, and that
aftec, having this dream he was more
convinced than ever that he should free
the country from the menace of Roose
velt's ambition.
September 21 he removed to the White
hotel at 156 Canal street, near the Bow
ery. He did this as his first step In a
plan to kill Roosevelt. He went soon
afterward to a gun store on Broadway
and purchased a revolver.
He then purchased a ticket to
Charleston, S. C. and went to that city
by steamboat. His first plan wrfs to
catch the Roosevelt party in New Or
leans, he said, but he found that this
was impossible. Accordingly he went
to Charleston, and upon his arrival
there had $300 left. He left a bag- at
the Moseley House in that city, which
contained besides the box in which the
revolver he had purchased had been
packed, a deed to property at Eighty
first street In New York worth $25,000
and his naturalization papers. That
bag Is there now.
FOLLOWS VICTIM'S TRAIL
Not being able to carry out his plan
in Charleston, he went to Atlanta, Ga.,
then to Chattanooga, and from there to
Evansville and Indianapolis, Ind., and
to Chicago. In each one of these cities
he tried to shoot Roosevelt, but was
unable to waylay him. He decided to
shoot him as he arrived in Chicago, and

waited for him at the Chicago and
Northwestern station, but the intended
victim did not arrive there. He then
decided to do the shooting at the Col
iseum, but in this case, as in others.
Roosevelt left the building by an en
trance otfier than the one at which he
had stationed himself.
During all this time he had traveled
under the name of Walter Ross, except
at Charleston, where he gave his right
name.
While in Chicago Saturday he was at
the Jackson hotel, and he decided after
his failure at the Coliseum to come to
Milwaukee In advance of the party and
lay his plans* so carefully that he
could not fall. He came to Milwaukee
Sunday morning and went to the
Argyle, a lodging house on Third
street. He said he then purchased
newspapers to Inform himself Vs to
Roosevelt's whereabouts, and learned
on Monday that he was to arrive at 5
o'clock.
He learned also that he was to be a
guest at the Gilpatrick, and managed
to get In a position near the entrance,
where he could shoot to kill when
Roosevelt appeared.
NOT SORRY FOR DEED
Schrank said he was sorry he had
caused all this trouble for the good
people of Milwaukee and "Wisconsin,
but he was not sorry that he carried
out his plan.
When Schrank was searched at the
central police station he had $144.10 of
the $300 which he said he had when he
arrived In Charleston.
The man talked fluently and was
willing to answer most of the ques
tions put to him. He used excellent
English and seemed to be well satisfied
with his deed. While being quizzed he
sat easily in a big leather chair and
looked his questioners squarely in the
eye.
Schrank was taken to the cell room
after he was first questioned 'by Ser
geant Flood and refused to talk. He
was placed in cell No. 1, with a guard
close by.
Chief of Police John T. Jansson was
called to the station and the man was
taken to the chiefs room, where he
was quizzed. It was under this cross
Are of questions by the chief that the
man first began to talk. He answered
every question put to him.
PROGRESSIVES SEE PRISONER
Willingly the man went back to the
cellroom where he was again placed in
cell No. 1. Later on several members
of the progressive party who are ac
companying Roosevelt on his trip,
reached the station and asked that they ■
be allowed to talk to the man.
He was again led upstairs to the
chief's private office, where he told the
same story. He had a good memory
and did not become confused. Alfred
Owen Crozler, Cincinnati; Prof. Charles
E. MerrSam, Chicago; Colonel Cecil
Lyon, Texas* and Norman I- Baker and
"Wheeler Bloodgood of Milwaukee were
those who questioned the man just be
fore he was led back to his cell for the
night.
A large crowd had gathered at the
police station before the patrol arrived,
and was lined up along the walk to
see the man taken Into the building.
Schrank at first was frightened, but he
regained courage when he saw that
the crowd was not large enough to take
him from the officers. He walked into
the building and up to the desk.
While talking the man occasionally
rubbed his hands across his forehead,
and when smiling had a rather pleas
ant appearance. His hands are well
formed, and did not have the appear
ance of being those o£ a laborer.
MRS. ROOSEVELT
GETS THE NEWS
NEW YORK. Oct. 14.—Mrs. Theodore
Roosevelt was attending a musical com
edy at a Broadway theater tonight at
the time the attempt was made upon
her husband's life. The news was
broken to her as she sat In a box with
a party of friends. In fear that the
announcement of the attempted assas
sination might be made from the stage
and be an unnecessarily great shock to
the colonel's wife, George W. Perkins,
chairman of the executive committee of
the national progressive, party, who
was among the first to receive the news,
had dispatched a messenger to Mrs.
Roosevelt.
Although assurances were given in
the first dispatches that the colonel
had not been seriously wounded, Mrs.
Roosevelt was alarmed and immedi
ately left the theater, driving to the
headquarters of the progressive party.
Here she awaited further details
from Milwaukee. She was consider
ably relieved by the early bulletins re
porting that the colonel had been so
slightly wounded that he was able to
proceed with his speech.
She was alarmed again, however,
when the wires told of the removal of
Roosevelt to a hospital and doubt
among the physicians as to.the serious
ness of the wound.
Mrs. Roosevelt had not been able to
decide as these reports came in as to
whether to leave tonight for Milwau
kee. Perkins said that announcement
of Mrs. Roosevelt's intentions would
be made later. As to how Mrs. Roose
velt had received the news Perkins
only said:
"Just as such a strong woman as Mrs.
Roosevelt would receive It."
President Taft and Governor Wilson
were among others to be quickly ad
vised of the attempted assassination of
Colonel Roosevelt. The president was
at a banquet which Mayor Gaynor was
giving tonight to the president, mem
bers of his cabinet, 600 naval officers
and several distinguished citizens when
the news was communicated to him.
It was evident that the report fell upon
the president's ears as a great blow.
He was talking with Mayor Gaynor at
the time and after hearing the news
sat silent for several minutes. He de
clined at first to make any statement,
apparently being reluctant to credit the
report. Later, as the news was con
firmed, the president said to newspaper
men:
I am very sorry to learn of the
assault upon Colonel Roosevelt, and
I am glad to learn no harm was
done.
At the time the president made this
statement bulletins from Milwaukee
gave the assurance that Colonel Roose
velt had sustained practically no injury.
The speakers at the dinner avoided ref
erence to the reports, but the news had
soon spread to all and there was so
much discussion of the reports that
little attention was given to the speak
ers.
Governor Wilson was at his home af
Princeton. N. J., when newspapermen
advised him of the attempt td kill the
progressive candidate for president.
"It is with the greatest distress that
I hear this," said Governor Wilson, "but
I rejoice that Colonel Roosevelt ap
parently has escaped serious Injury."
Colonel-Roosevelt's son. Theodore Jr.,
heard of the attack on his father late
tonight and hurried to progressive
headquarters to meet his mother and
await details from Milwaukee. j

HOME FEARS GRIP
OF STATE MACHINE
Followlng the recent action of the
•state board of control In refusing to
allow the directors of the Yountville
Veterans' home to have their annual
report printed by a private firm, the
board met yesterday afternoon and de
cided to take steps Immediately to de
termine how far the state administra-
tion might encroach upon their author
ity.
Fear was expressed that the state
board Intended to assume control not
only over the general fund provided by
the state, but over the "post fund"
allowed annually by the national gov
ernment, and by the unanimous action
of the directors the secretary was
authorized to report the case to the
national board of managers, which has
jurisdiction over all the veterans'
homes in the country.
In the matter of the printing of the
annual report, which precipitated the
controversy, the directors decided to
take John F. Neylan, chairman of the
state board of control, at his word, and
accordingly a resolution was passed of
fering the contract to the state printer
at the same figure as that named by
the lowest competitive bidder.
The original bids from the state
printing office and four competitive
firms were produced by Hugh M. Burke,
secretary of the home board, to show
that he had awarded the contract orig
inally to the lowest bidder, which was
the Shannon-Conmy company. The
figure was $355.20, whereas the original
bid of the state printing office was
$650.
Since these figures were made pub
lic Neylan has declared that the state
printing office can turn out the work
at 15 per cent less than any com
petitive printing house, and E. B. Hln
man of Sacramento, one of the direc
tors, announced in the meeting yester
day that he intended to hold Neylan
to this guarantee. The matter was put
In thß hands of Directors Hinman and
G. P. Dillon, with authority to let the
contract to the state printer only in
case his estimate did not exceed that
of the Shanon-Conmy company.
CROWDED SCHOOLS ARE
PUT UP TO THE MAYOR
Through the medium of his kickers'
meeting last night Mayor Rolph was
brought face to face with the crowded
condition of the public schools of San
Francisco, and in an attempted anal
ysis of the situation, carried out on
the spur of the moment with the aid
of Dr. A. A. d'Aneona, president of the
board of education, he learned that
there is an immediate imperative need
of more than $2,000,000 to be spent on
school buildings snd grounds.

COUNT BONI TAKES
JOB IN BURLINGAME
Imported by Carolans to Fix Up
a Real French Room in
New Home
Ctntlnned From Page t
by writing for the newspapers and
doing other odd jobs for which**, count
Is fitted. Now he has a job with the
Carolans as a decorator and atmos
phere expert.
CHARMED BY OLD SPLENDOR
In France Mrs. Carolan saw a room
In a chateau which pleased her. It
was for sale for 250.000 francs, about
$50,000. but It looked a good bargain
at that. There were in the room tapes
tries, the needle work of noble ladies
of centuries long past, of the period
when ladles improved the time that
their lords and masters were at war
by fabricating great pictures with
needle and thread, to prove that they
kept themselves in proper seclusion
during the absence of the head of the
house.
• There were in the room dainty pan
ellngs, doubtless scrolls of cuplds and
Venuses with pinkish complexions
There wore in the room wondrously
carved furnishings, tables and chairs
of rare grace, curved with a forgotten
skill. The, room wm chuck full of
atmosphere.
The Carolans are building a chateau
at Burlingame, and they decided that
to make the place "chateauesque" they
should have the French atmosphere
about It. This room contained more
'atmosphere than they had seen any
where outside a museum, so they de
cided to take it from floor to ceiling,
from door to window, from east wall
to west wall and from south wall to
north wall.
spill in atmosphere: '■■-'
It would leave an awful hole in, the
chateau, but would fill an expectant
void in their California home, 6,000
miles away. So they bought the room,
paid 250.000 francs for it, and are hav
ing it taken apart, packed up and
shipped to Burlingame.
Unfortuntely a lot of the atmosphere
spilled out when they ftlded the room
Into packing cases, but the effect will
he the same when the apartment is
articulated in San Mateo county, given
a southern exposure and new glass is
put in the windows.
To have the room properly, installed
so that only a modicum of the atmos
phere still retained in the packing
cases would escape would require the
service of an artist with some personal
atmosphere about him. The Carolans
looked around for such a person, and
found that Count Boni was "at liberty,"
as the soubrettes say, and they engaged
him on the spot to come to California
and fix up their room for them.
SIDE LINE FOR BONI
The new Carolan chateau will not be
ready for the apartment until next
year. So It is not believed that Boni
will come until 1913.
Even though he comes In the capacity
of a hired man, the well known dem
ocratic tendencies of the peninsula so
ciety will permit that he be received
In the drawing rooms after the 5
o'clock whistle blows. That some lib
erality will permit the count to attend
5 o'clock teas, arriving a little late, it
will be true, but coming in before all
the girls leave.
Boni is said to be again open to an
engagement as a titled husband to an
American girl with a million. There
are several of that ilk in California.
So there is no telling what may fol
low the employment of the noble ar
tisan by the Carolans In putting to
gether and stuffing with atmosphere
the Louis Something room which they
have purchased out of a French
chateaxi.
The only thing that is worrying so

down.
The convention adopted resolutions
calling on organized labor and sympa
thizers to aid in defeating the statewide
prohibition movement in Colorado.
The next meeting of the convention
will be held in' Baltimore, Md., in 1914.
The executive committee of the San
Francisco labor council at its meeting
last night discussed a request from
the City Beautiful convention for the
council to assist, through Its dele
gates, on October 26, which has been
designated as "clean up day." The
convention asked that each one on that
day "clean up" his own and in
front of his own premises and tl.at
those who have no» premises of their
own, volunteer their assistance to
clean up vacant lots. Objection was
made to this, on the ground that
"volunteers" on clean up work would
deprive a large number of working
men of an opportunity to earn a day's
wage. The committee took the mat
ter under advisement and will present
a report to the council at the regular
meeting Friday night.
The San Francisco labor council has
received from local No. 161 of the In
ternational Brotherhood of Electrical
Workers a proposed wage scale to be
submitted to the Panama-Pacific Ex
position company for Work to be don"
on the fair site, and in the buildings
to be erected thereon. This will be
passed on by the council In open meet
ing after the executive committee has
discussed it.

DYNAMITE CHECKS
FULLY IDENTIFIED
INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 14.— Checks by
which the government charges the
executive board of the International
Association of Bridge and Structural
Iron Workers allowed J. J. McNamara
$1,000 a month to buy explosives were
identified, by Mrs. A. J. Hull of Omaha
at the "dynamite conspiracy" trial to
day.
Mrs. Hull, who was a bookkeeper for
McNamara at the Iron workers' head
quarters in Indianapolis when explo
sions about the country were frequent,
testified that the checks were signed
by Frank M. Ryan, president, and by
McNamara as secretary-treasurer. All
these checks, she said, were marked
"emerkency fund."
The government charges that just
prior to the payment of regular sums
to McNamara, for which he was re
quired to give no accounting, the exec
utive board suspended the rules requir
ing publication of accounts, and that
$1,000 a month went to McNamara until
after the explosion at Los Angeles, en
abling him to pay the expenses of the
"dynamiting crew."
Eugene A. Clancy of San Francisco,
Herbert S. Hockin, Philip A. Coley and
Moulton H. Davis are alleged to have
voted the money to McNamara.
Mrs. Hull testified she never had
heard the executive board discuss to
what use the money was put. She said
McNamara wrote the minutes of the
executive board meetings, attended to
correspondence and edited the union
magazine.
The testimony of most of today's
witnesses was confined to identifying
letters, the contents of which are, to
be made known later.

EDDIE IS EXPOSED
BY ANOTHER GIRL
LOS ANGELES. Oct. 14.— -Guy Eddie,
city prosecutor and official censor of
public morals, was served with a sec
ond warrant today, charging him with
having contributed to the delinquency
of a minor girl. The complainant.
Alma Jones, aged 19, is an octoroon.
Eddie fainted in the corridor of the hall
of records when the warrant was
served upon him.
In the new warrant Eddie is charged
! with having made improper advances
to the Jones girl upon the morning of
the day he was arrested for a similar
offense alleged to have been committed
against Mrs. Alice Phelps, a 20 year old
white girl. The second arrest of Eddie
occurred just as he emerged %rom the
chamber in which the secret hearing of
the Phelps charges is being held by
Judge Wilbur of the juvenile court.
The complaint against the city prose
cutor in the new case, like Mrs. Phelps,
is a married woman. According to the
complainant, Eddie approached Mrs.
Jones in the manner he is alleged to
have mad* advances to Mrs. Phelps.
That is. the young negress avers, he
proposed to her that she should be
come his agent in procuring evidence
i against certain disorderly resorts.
I Then, she asserts, he sought to Illu
strate to her the indignities she would
| have to endure in prosecuting: her
work.
Mrs. Jones said she went to Eddie
first, to obtain aid in some domestic
difficulties. Her husband is a Pullman
car porter who, she alleges, left her
shortly before she visited Eddie the
first time. In all, she says, she was
in the accused prosecutor's office four
times, the last time shortly before ,
officers broke in his door and found
him In the'company of Mrs. .Phelps.
