IRRESPONSIBLE MILITIA.

We in the South read with little
interest stories of rioting and strike
violence in the North and West and
martial law in coal mining regions
really conveys little to us of the
absolute danger in such contin-
gency.
But it has been brought home to
us, to our very door, and IN a neigh
boring Southern city. The mayor,
unable to cope through his magnif-
cent police department numbering
over a hundred men, was compelled
to call on the Governor for troops
to quell rioting and prevent threats
of property damage being carried
out by striking street car men.
The scenes portrayed in Augusta
last night and yesterday, and, in
fact, ever since the strike began, are
almost impossible of belief in a
Southern city, but the browning act
of tragedy, the enormity amounting
to crime, was enacted late yesterday
afternoon, when the militia, which
had been called out to protect lives,
killed two unoffensive citizens and
wounded others, because fOrsooth
they attempted to pass a newly placed
dead line of which the citizens knew
nothing. 1t was no shooting to
brighten or warn; it was shoot to
kill, as evidenced by the fact that
the men killed and those wounded
were shot through the lungs.
Who was in command at the
scenes of carnage enacted by the
militia" none of the dispatches SO
far have said, but the officers in COM
mand of the troops in Augusta have
been arrested and will be courtmar-
tailed, so it is announced today

feeling Clark holds toward William

very long speech. I'll do the best I
my body. But it's nothing. I'm not
hurt badly"
Colonel Roosevelt began to speak
in a firm voice, somewhat lower than
its usual tone and, except that his
chief gestures were less emphatic
than usual there was nothing about
the man to indicate his condition.
After he had been speaking a few
moments, however, his voice sank
somewhat and he seemed to stand
rather unsteadily.
DR.. Terrell and Colonel Lyon
stepped up to him and the doctor in
sisted that he stop.
''I'm going to finish this speech"
said the colonel emphatically. "I'm
all right; let me alone
DIR. Terrell and Colonel Lyon sat
down again. The colonel continued
his speech, evidently with increasing
effort, but he succeeded in making
himself heard and talked for more
than an hour Then he was rushed
to his automobile and flashed
hospital.
The operating room had been
been placed in readiness to receive
Colonel Roosevelt and six of the
leading surgeons of Milwaukee were
awaiting his arrival
Colonel Roosevelt was undressed
and placed upon the operating table,
although he insisted he was not bad
ly hurt, and that the doctors were
taking it too seriously.
An examination of the wound
showed that it had been made by
bullet Of large size. 1t entered the
feshy part of the right breast, half
way between the collarbone and
lower rib. The physicians found
that they knew no more after their
examination than before, as to the
location of the bullet, and it was de-
cided to send for an X-ray machine
to determine to what depth the mis-
sic had penetrated. While he was
mel Roosevelt sat up on the operat-
ing table and talked politics and
joked with the physicians.
In the meantime, hidden away in
an inner room in the police station,
Colonel Roosevelt's assailant was be-
ing subjected to rigid examination.
He refused stubbornly to give an ac-
count of himself and would say moth

morrow" After long siege, how

speak tonight. He helped to over
power the evidently insane man, in
sisted on going to the hall, there
quoted the crowd that heard he had
been shot, spoke from 500 to 9:45
O'Clock, though apparently weak and
then was taken to an emergency hos
pital.
The bullet struck a roll of manu-
script of his speech delivered to-
night and this probably saved his
life. After an hours questioning
the assassin gave his name as John
Schrank, Of $40 East Tenth Street,
New York. From notes found in
the prisoners clothes it is evident he
is demented on the subject of Col
onel RooSevelt's running for a third
term.
Henry F. Cochems seized the man
after he had wounded Colonel Roose-
welt and held him until policemen
came up. A mob surged around the
prisoner. Schrank, who is small in
stature, admitted firing the shot and
said that ANY man looking for a
third term ought to be shot,
In notes found in his pockets at
the police station, were statements
that the assailant had been visited
In dream by the spirit of William
Mckinley, who had said, indicating
Colonel Roosevelt, t'this is my muir
derer, avenge my death"
It is believer Roosevelt's injury is
not serious. The colonel felt no
pain at the time the shot was fired
and was not aware he was shot until
he was on the way to the audito-
rum. His attention was then called
to hole in his oyercoat and he found
his shirt was soaked with blood He
insisted he was not badly hurt A
superficial examination was made
when he reached the auditorium and
three physicians agreed he was in no
immediate danger.
In spite of the entreaties of physi-
clans, Colonel Roosevelt insisted
upon delivering his address. II will
make this speech or die, one or the
other" he said.

building was cheering loudly as he
entered and, without a word to indi-

colonel bore bullet in his body,
kept up it's cheering.
Then Mr. Cochems stepped to the
front of the platform and held up his
hand. There was something in his
manner which had it's effect upon the
crowd, and the cheering died sudden
ly away.

said Mr. Cochems, "and I hope you

His voice shook as he spoke and
deathlike stiffness settled over the

He spoke in low tone, but there
was such stiffness that everyone

and horror went up from the crowd
which was thrown into confusion in
an instant. Mr.. Cochems turned and
looked inquiringly at Colonel Roose-

He raised his hand ana instantly
there was silence.
"It's true" he said. Then slowly
