THE VERMONT PIICENIX, BRATTLEBORO, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1912.
LEGISLATIVE WORK
STARTS OFF WELL
Several Important Bills Already
Introduced
Judges Elected In the Session Yesterday
Mr. Wright of Westminster President
of Karmers'- Club,
Montpeller, Oct. 15.
Legislative work has started off re
markably well, considering the manner In
which the sessions have been broken In
to by such events as the visit of Presi
dent Taft. The Senate has promptly
done Its part toward redeeming one of
the campaign promises In passing the
trustee process bill, committees are work
ing hard on such bills as have been In
troduced and some are ready to repoit,
the. proposals of amendment to the state
constitution have been laid before the
General Assembly and referred to a
special Joint committee and the proposed
amendment to the federal constitution
providing for the election of Senators by
direct vote of the people has been trans
mitted by the governor and referred to
the committee on federal relations. The
House bill regarding the rebuilding of the
court house and Jail at Hyde Park, In
troduced Tuesday morning, was reported
back In the afternoon and was read
the third time Wednesday afternoon.
The election of state officers, supreme
court Judges, etc., occurs Thursday and
ladles' week Is next week, so with an
ordinary legislature It might be expected
that there would be little done until af
ter the November election. But this
body seems determined to do good work
and do It promptly.
Governor Fletcher has decided to
change one well established custom and
will give no governor's ball. Various
comments are heard on this decision, but
It is generally approved. The expense of
this function In recent years has become
so great that only a wealthy man could
really afford It. One year's salary would
not cover the cost. Governor Fletcher's
decision may make It easy for those who
follow him In the executive chair to
avoid an unnecessary expense. That he
Is amply able to meet the expense of this
function and decides not to do so will
break a precedent. He cannot, however,
be accused of parsimony, for he will
spend more than the cost of the ball on
some of the charitable Institutions of the
state.
The need of more room at the state
house was forcibly brought to attention
today, when the librarian of the Ver
mont Historical society complained, In
his report to the annual meeting, that
there was not sufficient room in the pres
ent quarters for the display of many In
teresting and valuable manuscripts and
relics, and that no more room could be
had. The society appointed a special
committee, composed of W. W. Stlckney
of Ludlow, Horace W. Bailey of New
bury and James K. Batchelder of Ar
lington, to urge on the present legislature
the need of some action In the matter.
This society numbers in its membership
some of the most prominent and influen
tial men In the state, and If these mem
bers set vigorously to work In the mat
ter It will be possible to secure the ad
ditional room which has been needed
for several years.
Fish and game bills are making their
appeurance, but all will have to be con
sidered In connection with the general re
vision of the laws on such subjects pre
pared by J. W, Tltcomb, the commis
sioner of game and fisheries, and the re
sult will probably be reported In the
form of a committee bill.
commodatlons In the stato hnuso were
steadily growing Inadequate and warn,
cd them that tho time was soon com.
Ing when moro room must be provided
If a building were erected for the
supreme court, stale library ond Btate
officers the legislature, he said, would
then havo sufficient committee room.
John V. Tltcomb, commissioner of
game nnd fisheries, spoke for a few
minutes on tho fish and game laws, Ho
Pointed out that whtln nrotectlnn Is nee.
cessary to preservo the deer which have
become so numerous In the Btate, the
nnlmals were becoming a destructive
pest In some sections nnd were especial
ly obnoxious In the fruit growing re
glons, such ns Windham county. It was
not possible, he said, to recompense the
orchardlst by paying him the cost of
the trees destroyed by deer and tho
time and work he had spent on them,
but there vmn an additional loss which
It was impossible to estimate. He ad
vocated a longer open season for deer,
which he though would reduce their
numbers In sections where they have
become obnoxious, and would leave
plenty of them to furnish good sport In
the mote thickly wooded parts of the
state. In response to n question ho said
thot the seines now licensed In lake
Champlaln would extend six miles If
ploced end to end and ho favored ab
nllshlng all seining In the lake. There
were several other speakers and the
llrst meeting of the club proved an Im
portant one.
A bill providing n Hat rate of taxa
tion of one per cent on Intangibles was
Introduced In tho House this oftcrnoon
by Comings of Ittchford.
Montpeller, October 1G.
Hapgood of Peru has become accus
tomed to having his resolutions voicu
down by the House, but this afternoon
he offered one which no one voted
against. It expressed abhorrence at the
attempted assassination of Col. Roose
velt and the hope that he might speed
ily recover.
The House this afternoon passed one
bill anJ ordered another to a third read
ing, while the Senate ordered third
readings on two.
Senator Roy of Caledonia today of
fered a bill for state wide vote on li
cense. It provides that town's shall voio
at the March meeting on the question
of licenses In the town and also witnin
the state. If a majority or votes In tho
state are caBt against license no town
will be permitted to Issue any but drug
gists' licenses, though the license vote
may be the larger In the town. This Is
In effect a yearly referendum of the
prohibition question, and though the
prohibitionists may be more numerous
than usual at this session, there .,
pears to be little prospect of passing tho
bill.
The House this morning accepted tne
report of the committee in the case of
Dr. W. J. Aldrlch, the member from St.
Johnsbury, and he was permitted to
take the oath and assume his duties as
a member. The committee on elections.

the 1910 organization, and George C
"Wright of Westminster was made pres
ident. More than 100 members signed the
roll. Governor Fletcher, who has been
a memler since the club was first or
ganized, ten years ago, was called upon
to speak and urged tho members to hold
rrequen; meetings, take up the subjects
wlllch f'fy were Interested and
which must be of Interest to the state,
consider them carefully nnd come to a
decision regarding them, "If you fail to
secure desired legislation In regard to

Condition Favorable for Recovery His
Assailant, Who Was Overpowered, Ev.
Identy Demented.
Kx-Presldent Theodore Roosevelt was
wounded by an assassin's bullet In front
of the Hotel Gllpatrlck In Milwaukee
Monday night. Col. Roosevelt wus fired
upon Just as he entered a big automo
bile which was In waiting to take him
to the Auditorium, where he was sched
uled to deliver on address. He was wav
ing his acknowledgments to the cheer
ing crowd when his assailant, who was
standing only a few feet away, raised
his revolver and fired. In an Instant Mr.
Mnrtln, one of the colonel's-Becretarles,
Jumped from the automobile squarely up
on the would-be murderer's shoulders,
bearing him to the ground.
The stories or what rollowed the shoot
ing vary greatly, but the crowd threat
ened to lynch the assailant and C01.
Roosevelt ordered the crowd to stop and
not hurt the man.
One statement Is to the effect that Col.
Roosevelt did not realize that he was
hurt at the time, and another Is that he
talked calmly with his cousin, Theodore
Itoosevelt, about the Injury. In uuy case
he insisted on going to the Auditorium,
where, after a, superficial examination of
his wound, he addressed his nudlence an
hour.
He was then taken to the emergency
hospital, where a further examination by
the surgeons Indicated that the Injury
was not serious. Later he boarded a
train for Chicago, and after arriving in
mat city went to tho Mercy hospital.
John Schrank, who shut Col. Roose
velt, Is 3fi years old, and n native of
l'nvarln, He c.inio to this country when
nine years old and was formerly a saloon-keeper
.in New York. He formed a
Plan of assassination Sept. 21, and dur
ing the past two or three weeks had
been following the colonel throughout
the country waiting for an opportunity
to kill Mm. Ho wct to C'harlestown,
h. C, on the colonel's trull nnil tltfjn fii
owed him to New Orleans, to Indlanapo.
lis and Chicago. Schrank is undoubtedly
demented. In papers found In his pock
ets were statements that ho had been
visited In a dream by the spirit of Wil
liam McKlnley. who said iiwiion,..r r.i
j Roosevelt, "This Is my murderer, avenge
my death."
Libert K. .Martin, the colonel's sten
ographer, who overpowered Schrank is
a native of Manchester, Vt., and n grad
uate of the Detroit law college the pies
ent year. Martin Is a former football
player, a man of powerful physique, nnd
he quickly overpowered Schrank.
Col. Roosevelt undoubtedly owes his life
r? his line physical development. The
bullet lodged In the massive muscles of
his chest, Instead of penetrating tho
lungs, as would have been the case
with a man of ordinary strength. The
bullet passed through his clothing. In
cluding a heavy army overcoat, nnd Its
force was retarded to some extent when
It perforated the manuscript of the col
onel's speech.
The Injury Is not a "mere llesh
wound." The bullet Is Imbedded to the
depth of three or four Inches,
An x-ray photograph locates the but
let In a fracture of tho fourth rib about
four Inches from tho sternum. Tho rib
Is badly splintered. No attempt will be
made to remove the bullet nt present.
Col.. Roosevelt's condition Is favorable
nnd he plans to return home In a few
days.
