shock to the colonels wife. George w. Perkins, chairman of the executive com mittee of the progressive party, who was among the first to receive the news, had dispatched a messenger to Mrs. Roose- welt.
 Although assurances were given in the first dispatch that the. colonel had not been seriously wounded, Mrs. Roosevelt was alarmed and immediately left the theater. driving to the headquarters of the national progressive committee in the Hotel Manhattan Here she waited anx- iously further details from Milwaukee. She was considerably relieved by the early bulletins reporting that the colonel had been so slightly wounded and that he was able to proceed with his speech. She was alarmed again later, however, when the wires told of the removal of the colonel to hospital and doubt among his physicians as to the seriousness of the wound

Milwaukee. October 14.-eI do not care a rap about being shot. not rap,s said Colonel Roosevelt in his speech tonight
 Friends" he began, q shall have to ask you to be as quiet as possible. GO not know whether you fully un6er- stand that I have just been shot but it takes more than that to kill bull moose tholding up manuscript showing audience where bullet had gone through). so you see I was going to make a long speech. And friends, the hole in it is where the bullet went through and is probably saved the bullet from going into my heart. The bullet is in me now, so that I cannot make very long speech. But I will try my best. And now. friends. I want to take advantage of this incident to say as solemn word of warning as I know how 10 my fellow Americans. First of all, want to say this about myself. I have altogether too many important things to think of to pay any heed or feel any concern over my own death. Now I would not speak to you insincerely within five minutes of being shot I am telling you the literal truth when I say that my con cern is for many other things. It is not in the least for my own life.
 q want you to understand that I am ahead of the game anyway. No man has had happier life than have had, a hap pier life in every way. I have been anfe to do certain things that I greatly wished to do and I am interested in doing other things. l can tell, you with absolute truthfulness that I am very much unin- terested in whether I am shot or not. It was just as when I was colonel of my

The Speech Which Colonel Roosevelt
 Delivered After He Was Wounded

do not know who he was or what party he represented. He was a coward. He stood Nh the darkness in the crowd around the automobile. and when they cheered me and I got up to bow he stepped forward and shot me in the breast.
 Ut is very natural thing that weak and vicious minds should be intiamed to acts of violence by the kind of foul men dacity and abuse that have been heaped upon me for the last three months by the papers in the interest, not only of Mir Debs. but of Mr Wilson and Mir. Taft. Friends. l will disown and repu- diate any man of my party who attacks with such vile foul islander and abuse any opponents of any other party
 Now l wish to say seriously to the speakers and to the newspapers repre- senting both the republican and demo- cratic and socialist parties that they cannot make the kind of sanderous, bit ter and malevolent assaults that they have made and not expect that brutal and violent characters, especially when the brutality is accompanied by not too strong mind, they cannot expect that such natures will be unaffected by 1t. am not speaking for myself at all, l give you my word l do not care rap about being shot, not a rap. 1 have had good many experiences In my time and this is only one of them. What l do care for is my country. | wish 1 were able to impress on our people the duty to feel strongly but to speak truthfully to their opponents. l say now l have never said on the stump one word against any opponent that l could not substanti- ate and nothing l ought not to have said, nothing that, looking back, l would not say again. I am all right

The colonel was said to be resting easily in his private car "Mayhower" when he left.
 A newspaper reporter who witnessed the shooting gave the following account;
 Colonel Roosevelt had just descended from his room in the second story and had lassed through a cheering throng in the main corridor accompanied by growing escort as he neared the door.
 Arriving at the curb Colonel Roosevelt extended his hands toward the frames of the doorway to the rear compartment of the automobile, his body inclining slight ly to the front It was just as he was rising into the automobile that the shot was fired
 Colonel Roosevelt gave no indication by movement that he felt the impact of the bullet. but there was a sound as though of groan coming from his diree- ton.
 "A moment after the shot Colonel Roosevelt put his right hand on his over- coat
 Then he sat down in the car. Some one ordered the chauffeur to drive on. The machine moved out.
 'The assassin was hurried out of the crowd He was half carried through the corridor of the hotel into the dining room and then to the kitchen, where he was put through a hurried and pressing in- terrogaton by Police Sergeant Mooney and others. He declined to give his name and finally was slipped out of the rear door of the hotel into the alley, where the police wagon had been summoned to seceive him.
 Hundreds of persons followed the pa- trol wagon as 1t was driven at break neck speed down the streets. Men and boys ran shouting behind the wagon and crying Lynch him. Klll the bruten and Get a roper '

Telegraphs His Wife

Shortly after midnight Mrs. Roosevelt received a telegram which had evidently been dictated by her husband, assuring her that he was in no danger and mak- ing light of the attempt on his life.
 The telegram read:
 "I am now in the American hospital The bullet did not hit anything vital, and I think they will find 1t somewhere around. It is no more serious than the injury the boys received. My voice is holding out well and l will go on with the trip. Don't worry. Love to all.
 Signed)
 THEODORE ROOSEVELT"
 Mrs. Roosevelt probably will leave for Chicago tomorrow.
 President Taft was at banquet which the mayor of the city was giving tonight to the President when the news was communicated to him. It was evident that the report was 6 great blow to the President. After hearing the news he sat silent for several minutes He de- clined at first to make any statement.
 Taft Is Very Sorry
 Later asfthe news was confirmed the President said to the newspaper men:
 T am very sorry to learn of tine as- sault upon Colonel Roosevelt and I am glad to learn that no harm was done."
 Speakers at the dinner avoided refer cnce to the reports, but the news hau soon spread to all and there was so much discussion of the reports that little atten- tion was given to the speakers. Governor Wilson was at his home in Princeton, N J., when newspaper men advised him of the attempt to kill the progressive candidate for President. "It is with the greatest distress that l hear this,'' said Governor Wilson, but l re- joice that Colonel Roosevelt has appar- ently escaped serious injury"
 Colonel Roosevelt's son Theodore Roose- velt,r Jr.. heard of the attack upon his father late tonight andl hurried to pro- gressive headquarters to join his mother.

Plans Frustrated Often

He was put into cell where after long examination he told his story. He said his plan to shoot Colonel hooses welt often was frustrated.
 His first plan was to catch the Roose- welt party In New Orleans. he said, but he found this was impossible. He ac- cordingly went to Charleston. He left a bag at the Mosely house in that city which contained a revolver, a deed to property on Eighty-first street in New York, and his naturalization papers. The bag Is there now, he said.
 Not being able to carry his plan in Charleston, he proceeded to Atlanta, then to Chattanooga and from there to Evans. vile. and Indianapolis, Ind, and to Chi- cago. In each of these cities he tried to shoot Roosevelt, but was unable to waylay him. He decided to shoot him In Chicago. but missed him again.
 During all this time he had travelled under the name of Walter Ross except at Charleston, where he gave his right name. He came to Milwaukee Sunday morning.
 He learned the colonel was to be a guest at the Gilpatrick and managed to get in position near the entrance.
 Schrenk said he was not sorry he had ca rred out his plan.

Schrenk Talks Freely


 The man talked fluently and was willing to answer most of the ques- tions put to him. He seemed to be we'll satisfied with his deed. While. be- ing quizzed he sat easily in a big leather chair and looked his question CTS squarely in the eye. After he told his story he willingly went back to . coll Later several men accompanying Colonel Roosevelt asked that they be allowed to talk to the man.
 He was again led upstairs where he told the same story. He did not be- come confused. Among those in the party was Col. Cecil Lyon of Texas.
 A large crowd had gathered at the police station before the patrol ar rived and was lined up along the walk to see him taken into the building. schrenk at first was frightened. but he regained courage when he saw the crowd was not large enough to take him from the officers.
 The would be assassin is five feet. five inches in height, weighes ITO pounds. tight complexion, bald, fairly well dressed He confessed to the police that he fired the shot and made the remark: Any man looking for & third term ought to be shot"
 A written note found in the clothing of the man who did the shooting reads:
 September 15, 1912. September 15, 1a2. 1:30 a. m. In a dream saw President Mckinley sit up In a monument attire in whom l recognized Theodore Roosevelt. The President said. This is my murderer, avenge my death. September 12 1912, 130 a. m. While writing poem some one tapped me on the shoulder and said: Let not 8 mur- derer take the Presidents chair.

 Note Found on Assailant
 Another note found in the mans pos session reads.
 50 long as Japan could rise to the greatest power of the world despite her surviving tradition that was more than POGO years old, as General Nogi so pobly demonstrated, it is the duty of the United States of America to uphold the third term tradition Let every third termer he regarded as a traitor to the American cause. Let 1t be the right and duty of every citizen to forcibly remove a third termer. Never let a third term party en- olem appear on the official ballot
