CHICAGO, June 20-To permit the
credentials committee to complete its
hearings on contested delegates and
formulate a report to the convention,
the Republican National Convention
met at noon and recessed until
O'Clock. This was agreeable to all
factions.
Colonel Roosevelt today decided to
take the bit in his teeth and repudiate
the present Republican Convention
without further delay
In a carefully prepared statement
which he read to his personal advis-
nrs and announced would be printed
and handed to all his delegates today,
the Colonel announced his willing
ness to lead an independant fight for
the principles of the progressive
movement and called upon such of
bis friends as placed these principals
above party loyalty to join him IN
he fight. He promised to make the
light to the finish regardless of con-
sequences and regardless of the num-
ber of his followers. He thanked his
friends in the Republican organiza-
ton and the party who have fought
with him up to the present time, and
released them from any obligation
other than their own desire to join
him in the fight for principle.
Prior to the Issuance of this formal
statement to his delegates, Roosevelt
issued short signed statement TO the
newspaper men. who had besieged his
donr for an hour following a wild
series of reports The Colonel's declar-
alton was.
"The time has come when ! feel
that I must snake certain statements,

bers of the Republican national con-
vention. but to the rank and file Of
the Republican party and to the hon
est people Of the entire nation. |

ciples Al the moment can only

Allies Declare Condition of Christians
Have Become lntolerable.
PARIS-Turkey's promises of re-
forms have remained dead letter, say
the Balkan allies, according to a sy-
nopsis of their reply to the represen-
tations of the powers.
The situation of the Christians in
Macedonia has become intolerable,
continues the reply, and therefore the
Balkan states believe it is their duty
to ask the Ottoman government di-
rectly to make the solemn engage
ments contained in the note sent by
the allies.
They ask Turkey to grant without
delay the following reforms and to
promise to apply them within six
months with the assistance of the
great powers and the Balkan states:
The division of the provinces of Eu-
ropean Turkey into clinical circum-
scriptions.
The naming of Belgian or Swiss
Christian governors.
The equality of schools of whatever
faith.
The equality of representation in
the Turkish parliament.
The admission of the Christians into
every branch of administration of the
empire.
The formation of Christian military
divisions.
The reforms to be put into execu
/ a 49,.
and Mussulman's under the auspices
of representatives of the powers.
The enumeration of the reforms is
preceded by a demand that Turkey
demobilize it's army.

the coloners injuries and that he

"Will Speak or Die"
81 will deliver this speech or die,
one or the other" was Colonel Roose-
velt's reply.
The colonel declared that certain
newspaper influences were to blame
for this attempted assassination; that
violent and unjustifiable newspaper
attacks undoubtedly had influenced
this weak-minded man to try to kill
him.
The colonei's physical strength, how
ever, was not equal to his courage and
when half through his speech he had
to stop and was then taken to a hos
pital, where doctors examined the
wound and probed for the bullet.
The man who fired the shot told
the police he was John Schrank of
$40 East Tenth street, New York. He
is younga apparently 80 years old, five
feet five inches high, weighs 10
pounds and has light complexion and
is bald.
1t is evident from papers on his per-
son he has been trailing the colonel
for a long wilhelm fact, he had the
colonels itinerary written on a sheet
of note paper of a southern hotel.
Lucky Turn Saves Life.
Just as the colonel was entering the
automobile, Schrank squirmed through
the crowd and, pulling a revolver
from his coat pocket, fired pointblank
at the colonels heart.
The colonel at that moment was
turning to seat himself and the bull
let, instead of entering his left breast;
which was unprotected with manu-
script, found Judgment on the right
side.
The colonePs life, in all human prob
ability, was saved ~ the manuscript
of his speech and by other papers
which he carried in the inside pocket
Of his undercoat.
The bullet, passing through overcoat,
coat, manuscript, vest and other cloth
ing, penetrated the body, stopping
about two inches under the skin.
Despite the wound, despite the
blood that was flowing freely, the
colonel insisted on fulfilling his en-
gagement with the people of Wiscon-
sin. H. f. Cochems, the former foot
ball player, introduced the colonel and
told the crowd what had happened.
When the colonel arose to speak
there was tremendous cheering. He
drew his manuscript from his coat
pocket and showed his audience where
the bullet had gone directly through
it.
He pointed out the bullethole to the
crowd. "You see it takes more than
| that to kill bull moose"
Shirt Covered With Blood.
AS the colonel opened his coat and
vest it was seen that almost the en-
tire right side of his shirt was cover
ed with blood. He said that if it had
not been for the manuscript he haC
in his pocket on that side he would
have been killed.
Wound Not Serious.
An examination of the X-ray photo
graph indicates that the bullet did no

After doing two great sprints at the
Velodrome yesterday afternoon, Emil
Friol stated hat he was ready to
meet all Corners in match races. This
little Frenchman is fairly flying, and
he will surely prove a hard man to
beat, and even Frank Kramer is
going to have his troubles in scoring
over this fellow.
And 1t is far from a cinch that the
American champion can beat the
speedy foreigner. We have never
seer Kramer beaten in a French
style match, and as a result we have
come to believe that he is positively
invincible, but after a fash at that
sprint of Friol's 1t must be admitted
that there Is one rider who classes
with the Marvel"
Like Kramer. Friol has got that
even, mechanical motion when he
sprints that shows the finished bike
rider. His style is 20 perfect and he
rides with such ease 1t is impossible
to tell when he is going a in In
none of his sprints since he has been
here has he appeared to be trying,
but they were all marvelously fast.
And tomorrow night poor Floyd
Krebs is to be led out and sacrificed
at the altar like a Hindoo calf. Floyd
is to meet Friol In a match race.
The German has been after a match
race all season, and now he has got
it, but 1t seems like a shame to put
him up against a wonder like Friol,
who is most certain to beat him.
Krebs is a very good match race
rider, and he expected to get on with
he had a chance with, win
and then get more matches until he
had gone up the line as far as
Kramer, but now 1t looks as though
he would get no farther than this
one match. Unless Friol has felt a
remarkable reversal in form as a re-
suit of the change of climate he will
surely beat Krebs.
Krebs says he was flying a week
ago, and at that time would have
beaten Friol sure. He has gone back
a bit now, though, and says he does
not know how good he will be tomor-
row night. b if he appear with
his ..bearcat'' racing suit on 1T Will
mean that he is there forty ways n
the family plate will be safe If placed
on him. That is what krebs says.

YANKEE LIFE SAVERS
WALLOP CRACK CREW

NEW YORK, July 3.-There is :
boat crew aboard the steamship
Mauretania that until yesterday be-
lieved it could outrow any other boat
crew that aver pulled oars. When
the German squadron was in this
port the Mauretania crew wanted to
row the Teutons. but for some reason
the Kaiser's sailors declined 70 row
against the liners men.
This week the Yankee ~1ife-savefs
on the Hudson river piers got to-
gether a scratch crew and manned
one of the M~auertania's life-boats. to
give the Britishers a run. The dis
lance staked off was a frifie more
than a mile. The race began at $50
o'clock yesterday afternoon Each
crew pulled at the rate Of thirty FIVE
strokes a minute, but at the middle
of the course the boat rowed by the
Americans was in the lead. and when
the finish stake was caches thera
were two boat lengths of green water
between the Yankees and their crest-
fallen challengers.
Them as goes to sea amt always
the best rowers,' was a longshore-
