"bm-eorrectness of Wadr who expect* husband nuut Ms®. secretaries.* Roosevelt Felt No Pain. The colonel felt no pain at the time the shot was fired and was not aware that he was shot until he was on the way to the Auditorium. His attention was then called to a hole in his over coat, and he found that his shirt was soaked with blood. He insisted that he was not hurt badly. A superficial examination of the wound was made when he reached the Auditorium, and three physicians agreed that he was in no immediate grave danger. The wound was regarded as super ficial and the colonel went on to the hall and began his speech after he had seen the assassin arrested and taken to the police station. Henry F. Cochems seized the would be assassin and held him until police men came up. A mob surged around the man, who apparently is a radical on the subject of Roosevelt's running for another term as president, but the police succeeded in landing him safe ly in the central station. The assailant, who is small of stat ure, admitted firing the shot and said that "any man looking for a third term ought to be shot." In notes found in the man's pock ets at the police station, were state- THEODORE ROOSEVELT. ments that the man had been visited in a dream by the spirit of William McKinley, who had said, indicating Colonel Roosevelt, "this is my mur derer, avenge my death." The prisoner told the police after an hour's examination that he was John Schrank of 370 East Tenth st., New York. Colonel Roosevelt had just stepped into an automobile when the would-be assassin pushed his way through the crowd in the street and fired. Martin Leaps Onto Assailant. Martin, who was standing in the car with the colonel, leaped onto the man's shoulders and bore him to the ground. Captain A. O. Girard, of Mil waukee, who was on the front seat, jumped almost at the same time and in an instant the man was overpower ed and disarmed. A wild cry of "Lynch him!" went up from the crowd. Colonel Roose velt spoke to the people and told them to spare the assailant. The man was taken into the hotel and held there until he was removed to the police sta tion. In spite of the entreaties of phy sicians, Colonel Roosevelt insisted upon delivering his address. "I will make this speech or die, one or the other," he said. Harry F. Cochems, one of the Wis consin Progressive leaders, told the great crowd which had assembled in the Auditorium that Colonel Roose velt had been shot and asked the peo ple to be calm. The crowd was thrown almost into a panic by the announcement, but Colonel Roosevelt calmed the people by rising and assuring them that he was not badly hurt. Then he began his address.

"Look, colonel," he said, "there is a hole in your overcoat." Colonel Roosevelt looked down, saw the hole, then unbuttoned the big brown army coat which he was wear ing and thrust his hand beneath it When he withdrew it his fingers were stained with blood. Colonel Roosevelt was not at all dis mayed by his discovery. "It looks as though I had been hit," he said, "but I don't think it is any thing serious." Dr. Scurrey Terrell of Dallas, Texas, who had entered the automobile just before it started off, insisted that the colonel return to the hotel. He. would not hear of it, however, and the car was driven to the Auditorium. As soon as they reached the build ing, Colonel Roosevelt was taken into a dressing room and his outer gar ments were removed. Dr. Terrell with the help of Dr. John Stratton of Milwaukee and Dr. S. S. Sorenson of Racine, Wis., who were in the audience and came to the dressing room on a call from the plat form, made a superficial examination of the wound. They agreed that it was impossible to hazard a guess as to the extent of the colonel's injuries and that he sbould by all means go at once to a hospital." "I will deliver this speech or die," said the colonel. After the meeting closed Roosevelt was rushed to his automobile and flashed through the streets to the emergency hospital. The operating room had been placed in readiness to receive Colonel Roose velt and six of the leading surgeons of Milwaukee were awaiting his ar rival. Colonel Roosevelt was undress ed and placed upon the operating table although he insisted that he was not badly hurt and that the doctors were taking it too seriously. An examination of the wound show ed that it had been made by a bullet of large size. ,j It entered the fleshy part of the right breast, half way between the collar bone and lower rib. The physi cians found that they knew no more after their examination and, as to the' location of the bullet, and it was de cided to send for an X-ray machine to determine to what depth the mis sle had penetrated. While he was waiting for the X-ray machine, Colonel Roosevelt sat up on the operating table and talked .poli tics and joked with the physicians. Assailant Talks Freely. After a long cross examination Colo nel Roosevelt's assailant, John Schrenk, talked more freely. The shooting was the result of a carefully laid plan by Schrank, which was often flustrated, 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 Baloon at 370 E. Tenth Street between avenues and C, New York city. He was born in Erding, Bavaria, two hours out of Munich, the capital. He is 36 years old and came to this country when he was nine years old with his parents. He had been engag ed in the saloon business, as pro prietor and as an employe of mem bers of his family nearly all his life, until he decided that it waB his duty to kill Colonel Roosevelt.

After hours of hand-to-hand fighting be tween guards and armed prisoners within the walls of the state peniten tiary here, the convicts were finally subdued and locked in their cells. The report that several men had been shot inside the prison walls has not been confirmed. A posse of citizens are still pursu ing the convicts who escaped from the prison and fled to* the hills on horseback. Camped outside the walls of the penitentiary is a force of citizens heavily armed, ready to drive back the convicts if they murder the guards and make a rush for the gates. Shouts and occasional shots tel the story of fighting within the wails and it is ru mored that several guards and con victs have been killed. Two Men Killed In Streets. Two men have been killed in the streets of Rawlins, one is badly wounded and two convicts have been recaptured, following the escape of from 10, to .30 prisoners yesterday afternoon. The town is in a panic. Frantic telegrams have been sent to Governor Carey, now at Sheridan im ploring him to send state troops to protect the citizens. Townspeople are barricaded in their homes or, heavily armed, are patrolling the' streets guarding their own homes And the houses of those engaged in the man hunt in the hills or in the valley be fore the prison. A mass meeting of terror-stricken citizens held at nightfall sent a tele gram to Governor Carey demanding the protection of the state militia. Two Outbreaks in 24 Hours. The outbreak was the second within 24 hours. Saturday afternoon 20 prisoners escaped and nine were re captured several hours later. One of the convicts, a huge negro, armed with a revolver, was left as guard on the outside. Charles Stress ner, a barber had heard the commo tion and came down the street with a shot gun. The negro shot him through the head killing him instantly. Convict Shot Dead. At the sound of the shot the con victs swarmed from the barn, some with stolen horses and some afoot. A Mexican wantonly stabbed the pro prietor in the face, severely wounding him and a few seconds later paid for the deed witfi his life. Hugh Rogner, a deputy sheriff, shot and killed him. Leaving their dead comrade, the convicts made a dafih for the hills south of town. A party of peniten tiary guards followed in close pursuit and before the bewildered citizens had had time to form a passe, pursuers and fugatives had disappeared among the hills. •, WILSON IN OHIO. Develops Argument Against Third Party. Cleveland, Ohio, Oct. 14.—rGovernor Woodrow Wilson, in developing his argument that "the thought of the leading men of the United StateB Steel corporation is behind the. third party program with regard to the reg ulation of trusts." drew attention to what he termed "a very significant fact" that George W. Perkins "is him self back of the program." In speaking of the third party, Mr. Wilson said in part: "I am not interested in where Mr. Roosevelt's money comes from, but where his ideas come from. I see multiplying signs that' his ideas come from those who have'set up monopoly and who naturally wish to maintain it, though they are willing to be pitiful to us qnd considerate, and to conduct themselves like gentlemen.

U. S. SAILORS RESCUE ELEVEN LAUNCH HIT BY ANOTHER AND CUT IN TWO. Dies While Returning to Hie 8hip.— Thousands of People View Fleet. New York, Oct. 15.—Ensign Andes Hailey Butler, U. S. N., was drowned in the Hudson river while returning with three fellow officers to his post on the battleship Rhode Island in the line of the great Atlantic armada at anchor here for presidential review. In another accident on the river six sailors from the battleship Maine res cued 11 persons from drowning. Ensign Butler and his party had spent the night in the city and were on the way back to the ship in a small private launch. When 50 feet from the battleship young Butler was seen to step out from beneath the can opy and went into the wafer. It 1b believed he thought mistakenly that the launch had a sort of running board outside the canopy as naval launches have and that he intended to step on this to make preparations for the landing. The strong tide carried him down and under the battleship. One of his companions dived for him but was unable to reach him and was rescued with difficulty. Butler's body bad not been recovered at a late hour last night. The rescue in which the sailors from the battleship Maine figured aB heroes, occurred when a small launch in which Bernard Bauer and his family and" friends were visiting the Ship, was cut squarely in two by the sharp bow of the bigger steam launch Vieden and the occupants of the small, craft including seven men and four women, were thrown into the river. The lit tle launch foundered almost immedi ately. Six sailors from the Maine were in the Vieden and they were the first to plunge over the side to the rescue of the women. All bands were taken aboard safely. MOVEMENTS ARlg TOLD. Western Hotel Men Testify for Gov ernment. Indianapolis, Oct. 14.—"J. B. Bryce,' Chicago," the name James B.

Gangsters Threaten to Take Life of [?,GoffMSangsters Excluded Co«rt- Room. ?j- New.York, Oct 16.—"Bald Jack" Rose's story of how former Police*. Lieutenant Charles Becker plotted the murder of Herman Rosenthal was cor roborated on the' witness stand by "Bridgie" Webber, and Harry VallOn self-confessed accomplices In the crime. Webber went further. He swore that Becker told him that oi£ the night of the murder he would havO killed Rosenthal himself if he had seen him. The former lieutenant declared,! "Bridgie" said, that he had slowed, down his automobile while passing the Hotel Cadillac on Broadway in case' Rosenthal might be loitering there. "If I had seen him I would have hacked him up against the wall and •shot. him," Becker said, according to Webber. Rose's testimony that Beck er had demanded that. Rosenthal "be croaked," that he had given the gun men assurances of protection, and had said that he would have liked to "c»tf Rosenthal's tongue out and hang it up as a warning to future "squealers": was corroborated by Webber word for word and Vallon supported him like an echo.' The similarity of their stories to that of "Bald Jack's": prompted John W. Hart, attorney for the defense, to ask Vallon how many times he had rehearsed his story. Tells 8tory Coolly. "Never," said Vallon. Both witnesses told their stories, coolly and could not be shaken on cross-examination. Both said they had been granted Immunity, but not "if' they would testify against Becker." "I was promised protection If ij. would tell the truth," each insisted. Webber adding, "and if I did not firc one of the shots that killed Rosen thal." Attorney Mclntyre, Becker's chief counsel, tried vainly to get them to admit that they had a personal mot-f ive for doing away with Rosenthal, but each stuck to his story that they* had taken part in the murder plot at Becker's behest. .Gunmen to Be Kept from Court. Prompted by tlireats against his own life. Justice Golf took drastic steps to exclude gangsters and gunmen from the court room. The justice admitted last night that he had re ceived such threats both by letter and telephone and added that he had not ed attempts in the court room to in timidate witnesses. He gave orders to the court attendants to exclude all persons "acting suspiciously" or re cognized as gangsters and required that newspapermen and others having business in the court be admitted only by a special pass. If this is not sufficient," Justice Goff declared, "I will have the sheriff fill the court room with armed depu ties." The justice was escorted to his home last night by two uniformed, policemen.
