milwaukee Judge Holds RoOse-
velt's kssaisant for Trial.
Sentence DEFERRED A MONTH
This Action Taken to Await Outcome
of CoIoneIs Injury-5uIIet
to Be Examined for
Poison.

Milwaukee, Wis, Oct. 16.-John
Schrank, Colonel Roosevelts assail
ant, pleaded guilty to a charge of at
tempted murder when given a pre-
liminary arraignment before Judge NJ
B. Neelan in the district court.
Judge Neelen held Schrank to the
criminal court for trial under $500
bonds. Tentatively the date for trial
was set for the November term of the
criminal court.
Schrank then was placed in custody
of Sheriff William A. Arnold of Mil
waukee county and was imprisoned
in the county jail He will be held
there until his trial is called in the
criminal court.
Schrank's plea of guilty was entered
as soon as District Attorney label
had read the formal charge of at
tempted murder.
What is your answer to this
charger" Judge Neelen asked Of
Schrank.
Schra7k Pleads Guilty.
Guilty" replied Schrank, without
apparent nervousness or perturbation.
Sergeant Albert Murray and Louis
Hartmann of the city detective bu-
reau, delivered Schrank to Sheriff
Arnold of Milwaukee and a squad of
deputy sheriffs.
Arn ri fh0 Wi n
the county jail, directly across the
street from central police station,
where the prisoner had passed the
night, and Schrank was given cell
near the deputies room, where close
watch could be kept on him.
SIN my survey of the prisoner"
said Sheriff Arnold, "I am impressed
with the probability that his act was
that of brOOGlng recluse and not
the crime Of a man agitated by fell
lows in societies or clubs of an an
archistic or semi-anarchistic charac-
ter"
It was said that Schrank would not
be taken into the criminal court to
have sentence pronounced upon him
for a month. This decision, Judge
Nee1en said, in setting trial for the
November term, was prompted by the
possibility of a serious change in Colo
mel Roosevelt's condition.
Await Outcome of Injuries.
''It is only reasonable to await the
outcome OF Colonel Roosevelt's injury
before placing the prisoner on trial."
said the judge.
Judge Neelen, Immediately after the
arraignment, ordered Professor E. w.
Somer, head of the chemical depart
ment of Marquette university, to
make test of bullets remaining in
the prisoners revolver.
Judge Neelen announced that this
action was taken to determine imme-
diately if the bullet which entered
Colonel Roosevelt's body had been
poisoned.
The judge said his action was
prompted by memories Of the poi
soned bullet which killed President
and also by personal de-
sire to give the surgeons at Chicago
every possible aid in treating Colo
mel Roosevelt's wound.

idea on street lighting which is en-
tirely different from boulevard system
as already proposed. The plan of Mr..
Nc Fetridge applies to the residence

overhanging in the center of the street
he would place them on cement posts
near the sidewalk. There would be a
number of lights in each block, at
least four to six.
Alderman Isenberg spoke for the
city and said that the rate had not
yet been definitely fixed. T. f. Risley
also spoke on the proposition.
AS to the lights in the business Sec
ton of the city, Secretary Mead will
use his efforts in order to bring the
proposition TO conclusion. With a
little encouragement the new lights
can be obtained.
Mr.. Nc Fetridge was made the
chairman of a committee to present the
proposition of lighting the residence
districts to the city council. He will
name the others on the committee
soon.
Among the committees announced
are the following:

CHICAGO WIDOW PRIZE
Sir Thomas Upton and Rich German
SuitOrs for Mrs. Hysted.

London, March 27-A duel for the
hand and heart of Mrs. Claire Hysted
of Chicago, will be fought out not with
swords between the philanuhropist and
yachtman, Sir Thomas Upton and
the multimilnonaire merchant, Herr
Philip of Berlin. Mrs. Hysted herself is
worth several millions. She is of Ger
man descent and belongs to Chicago S
best set. She has lived in Paris, how
ever, for the past six years and was
much in evidence socially until the
death of her husband couple of years
ago.
Sir Thomas Upton made protracted
stay in Paris recently, on his way to
Monte Carlo and all his spare moments
were devoted to the fascinating widow.
Nominally he stayed at the Hotel Con-
tinental but in reality he spent most
of his time at the Maurice where Mrs.
Hysted stops. The marked devotion
of Sir Thomas to the widow was the
first evidence his friends had of his
intention to become a benedict. No
sooner had Sir Thomas departed for
Monte Carlo than Herr Philip, the
Berlin adrnirer, appeared on the scene.
Philip knows Mrs. Hysted's family and
has long tried in vain his luck on
marrying the widow. The pretentions
of Sir Thomas have made the German
renew his suit. He looks upon the
matrimonial duel as a contest between
Germany and England, he representing
the former and Upton, the latter.
AS Herr Philip and Sir Thomas are
almost equal in wealth the widow must
decide on some other basis than that
of money

each county is to be allowed to decide

thony, referring to the option plan.
1t is real local option. The first pri-
mary under this plan will be held
Thursday in Leavenworth county, my
district. So far the Roosevelt people
nave not ventured to put a ticket in
the field Il that county, and if they
do they will be licked to a finish. All
this furore about Kansas being for
Roosevelt is largely froth, samples of
winch have been copious recently.
President Taft will have the delega-
tons from all but three of the congress
slonal districts of the state and will get
the four delegates at large. People

New York DressmaI<ers About to De-

New York, March 27.-With Easter
only a little more than a week dis
tant, the New York tailors and dress
makers unions are preparing to bring
CONSERVATION to every feminine
heart by declaring a strike at a time
when every fashionable woman will
feel it most keenly. An announce
ment from the headquarters of the
Ladies Tailoring association declares
that if satisfactory word does not
come from the arbitration committee
appointed last year at the close of a
similar strike, the association and it's
affiliated organizations will be order
ed on strike.
At the time of the settlement last
year Louis D. Brandeis, Hamilton
Holt, and Maurice Hinquitt were ap-
pointed an arbitration board. Six
months ago the question of time and
piece work was put up to the board
to settle, but the union men declare
that no reply has been made and that
some of the larger establishments are
repudiating their old contracts. The
union leaders declare that they are
stronger than ever before and able to
stand a long contest with the en-
