said, however, that while he intended

PEACE OUTLOOK OPTIMISTIC.

St. Petersburg, Russia, Nov. 29.-The
chances for a peaceful solution of the
Balkan crisis are increasing daily.
Russian diplomacy, supported by that
of France and Great Britain, expects
to tide over the Austro- Servian con-
fict regarding the Adriatic and de-
rive a bargain with Austria and Italy
based on recognition of Albanian au-
tonomy in return for Austria, giving
Servia access to the sea
According to views of Russian Dip
lomatists a permanent settlement of
the Balkan crisis is desirable to all
the European Powers. They are of the
belief that there is no reason to make
the Servian position economically un-
tenable. Whether a settlement of the
controversy is achieved, through a
conference or otherwise, is of second
airy Importance. The main object is
peace, but not peace at any price. The
most important task for diplomacy
at present is to hasten a conclusion
of the negotiations between Turkey
and Bulgaria.
1t is saidi to be not impossible that
Russia may exert her good offices for
peace, either in the form of advice
or pressure. 1t must be remembered
that Turkeys left flank is entirely ex-
posed to the Caucasus, where Russia
has concentrated large forces. But
Russia does not desire to take any
action that might compromise her
good relations with Turkey in the flu
ture. Russia, it is said, does not want
any Turkish territory but desires only
the freedom of the Dardanelles for
her Black sea trade, which represents
three fourths of her grain exports.

CUT OFF BEARD AND
COULDN'T GET MAIL
POstoffice Clerk Didn't Know Rosset-
ter, Who Shaved When Vow Wa
El,IfuIaI

Hartford, Conn.-Back in 1908,
during the hot, dry spell, when bee.
tasted better and was surely as whole
some as the doubtful city water,
Charles Rossetter, a well known bus
mess man, vowed that never should
a razor touch his cheeks until Hart
ford was assured an adequate supply
of good, pure water.
He received this assurance and af-
ter he had had his first scrape in
nearly four years, he lit a cigar and
went to the postoffice for his mail.
He was politely refused and told
that if he wanted any Rossetter mail
he must present the autograph order
of Charles Rossetter, himself. In
vain he argued with the grinning mail
clerk that he was Rossetter and had
only shaved his beard off.
That's fine stuff" laughed the
clerk. There is no beard in town in
Rossetter's class INC he's never 60
ing to tip a barber again.
Finally Rossetter went to his store
and got one of his clerks, who iden-
titled the boss. Then the mail clerk
a~pologized and delivered the evenings
letters.

Roosevelt Shot

Colonel Roosevelt was shot by
John Schrenk at Milwaukee, Wis,
Monday evening as he was leaving
his hotel to go to the auditorium in
that city where he was scheduled to
speak. Despite the fact that the
bullet found lodgment in his flesh
and blood stained his clothing he
insisted upon going to the audience
awaiting him and delivered his adj
dress in an abbreviated form. He
was then taken to a Milwaukee hospi-
tai and after a brief examination was
taken to Chicago, where he entered
a hospital. The wound is not consid-
cred dangerous unless blood posion
or other complications set in. The
bullet was aimed at Mr.. Rossevelt's s
heart but glanced after going through
his over-coat and other clothing and
hitting his manuscript, and entered
his right brest, finding lodgment be-
fore penetrating the chest wall.
Schrenk would have fired again
but from the fact that he was rushed
to the sidewalk by the crowd about
him and was Immediately taken into
custody, admitting the shooting
The crowd was furious and would
undoubtedly have mobbed Schrenk
if they had been given an opportun-
ity. Schrenk is a socialist and claims
to have had a vision telling him to
kill Roosevelt.
Mr.. Roosevelt has been compelled
to cancel all engagements and will
go to Oyster Bay as soon as able
Later reports state that Roosevelt t
must have absolute quietude and
rest for several days. The wound is
somewhat more serious than was at
first thought.
Schrenk is thought to be insane by
physicians, who have examined him.
