SCHRANK TEST CRITICISED.
District Attorney. However, Defends
Examination by Commission.

MILWAUKEE,, November 16-It will
cost the county of Milwaukee over $4,000
to test the mental condition Of John
Schrank, who shot Theodore Roosevelt.
1.-The method we have decided upon is

said. IF we had had a trial by jury it

bled
the criticisms that the sanity commission
method rests the question of Schrank' s
fate with five men instead of jury Of
twelve.
Schrank declared that he will refuse to
be interviewed further by the sanity COM
mission. He says the alienists are de-

will report Monday or Tuesday.

around and fairly question them as to
their mental condition. They measured

blokes think I'm crazy they are dead

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

There was no business of any great
consequence done at the meeting today
of the Stock Exchange. This was due
to the current state of the market and
not to the Saturday half-holiday indif-
ference to the usual routine of business
when there Is golf to be played, fishing
to be done and other things Of interest
out-of-doors, and what is of more i'm
portance, whole afternoon to devote to
them.
Yesterday the trading was not much
better than 1t was today. In. fact, the
volume of business has been growing
less. There appears to be but little in
clination either to buy or to sell. How
ever, 1t Is expected there will be an i'm
provement before long, but the exact
date has not been ANNOUNCED by those
who make this prediction.
