SCH2ANK IS INSANE
This Is What the New York Police
 Believe From Evidence at Hand.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 New York.-Inspector Joseph Eau rot, one of the expert identification men of the New York detective bu- reau, will spend some time gathering up every available detail regarding John Schra1k's life in New York. The police declale Schrank came from an- and had probably been slightly unbal- anced mentally for several years. The unhinging of his mind is believed to date either from the death of his aunt in 1907 or from the death of a girl friend in the Slocum disaster.
 The information in the hands of the police shows Schrank was born in Ba- varia and came to this country when nine years old with an uncle. He was Dominick Planning, whose name the boy bore several years.
 His father is said to have suffered from insane delusions and his grand. father, wealthy Bavarian brewer, also exhibited unsoundness of mind dur ing his declining years
 The Flammangs became saloon keep CTS on the East side and prospered. Eight years ago they retired with a comfortable little fortune invested in real estate. Upon their death this went to Schrank.
 Mrs. Flammang died in a hospital in 1907, and her husband died a few years later. Schrank, who was devoted 10 his aunt, made scene in the room where she died, refusing to leave her body until he was forcibly elected. He again became violent at the funeral and for several days he remained at the grave, weeping and mourning.
 Police headquarters is holding bundle of letters and other papers taken from Schrank's room in the Brooklyn hotel.
 Schrank left the Brooklyn address nine months ago and took up his resi-. dence at the Canal street lodging house, where he lived until about Sep tember 20. when his pursuit of Roose- welt began.

days would allow no one to see him only on the most urgent business. She enforced this rule even on the colo nel's political lieutenants and as result the colonel referred to himself jokingly as being under machine rule"
 MT. Roosevelt was continually eX- pressing the desire to get out and take an active part in the campaign and it was with difficulty tha' physi- cians and his wife impressed uDon him to the absolute necessity of being quiet for at least six or seven days so as to see whether any syptoms of blood poisoning developed or not
 When Gov. Johnson of California, his running mate, visited him he ex- pressed himself as follows:
 Keep the fight going full blast, Johnson; don't let our bovs slack up in their work because I can't be with them for a few days. Tell the people you speak to 1 wish I could be out there working with ycu myself and tildI l CSTtdlliy VIII De dS SOOu dS ny doctors will let me-
 When informed of the fact that Gov. Wilson was considering cancel ing some of his speaking dates on ac- count of the injury to him, Mir Roose- volt said he appreciated the homer and the sentiment of the action but he vigorously protested any such ac. tion on the part of any of the candi- 6stes in the field and indorsed MT. Bryan when he objected to any such ac ion by the Democratic candidate.
 During all his confinement at the hospital the ex-president suffered very
The Green Forest tribune., 1912-10-25

little pain and any one looking at him could not have told that he was an invalid convalescing.
 Mir. Roosevelt expressed the inten- tion of having the bullet plated and carrying it in his pocket as souvenir if the physicians decide to take the bullet out
 During the entire length of the stay of the colonel at the hospital there was continual guard of newspaper men on duty at the hospital waiting for anything that might happen. At first they were admitted inside but there were so many that the hospital authorities excluded them.
 The fact that Col. Roosevelt acted unmindful of the advice of friends may have figured largely in saving his life when he was shot at Milwau- Ike, according to story told by those who have been travelling with him.
 When he prepared his Milwaukee speech, it was shown to several men interested in his campaign. Every one of them was of the opinion that the address was too long, and they advised the colonel that in order to save his voice he should throw out several pages of it.
 MT. Roosevelt told them he would read it again, and if he saw fit would cut it down. He did read it again but instead of trimming" it, he ad ded five additional pages. The extra sheets made fifteen thick copies when folded in his pocket, and it was said that these pages might have checked the flight of the bullet sufficiently tc avert a fatal wound.
 The vivid impression of Col. Roose welt when he was shot in Milwaukee were related from the colonefs own lips.
 "T feel as lively as a bulldog, said the colonel by way of preface He was sitting in huge leather chair by a window in Mrs. Roosevelt's room adjoining his own. He was wrapped

in bathrobe to protect him from the autumn breezes which were borne in through the open window.
 What seemed to impress Colonel Roosevelt most strongly was not the shooting itself-he seemed to accept that as a thing of the past to be dis missed once when it was over-but rather his hour on the stage of the Milwaukee auditorium, when he was speaking with bullet in his side. But he insisted that to make the speech was only what any other man would have done under the circumstances.
 'It was nothing-no nothing he said.
 q felt a little pain, but it was not or reached for my manuscript, it made me gasp bit, hut that was all.
 Tt was quite amusing," he went on, when I reached for my manu- script to see that it had a hole in it from the bullet, and there was hole in my srectacle case, too"
 The colo ne1 chuckled as he recalled he surprise he had felt at his discov- cry.
 Amusing, did you say, colonel?" asked one of his hearers
 "We'l," he qualified, "it was inter- esting."
 Colonel Roosevelt showed no indica- tion that he had felt the fear of death.
 Of the shooting itself Colonel Rocse- welt had little to say. Not once did he mention the name of John Schrank. his assailant. He talked in an unemo- tional way of being shot, as though he was discussing the case of a man
