THIRD PARTY TALK.
Visit of Insurgents TO Baltimore Causes
Much Gossip.

Baltimore, June 26.-Both Bryan
and anti-Bryan factions in the
ton today were interested in third
party gossip. The advent of Francis
j. Heney of California, who fought for
Roosevelt in the Chicago convention
and Charles r. Crane of Chicago, who
helped to conduct the early LaFollette
campaign and a reported interview
with Mr.. Bryan, gave an impetus to
the discussion. Heney said he had
come to Baltimore to see the Demo-
cratic steam roller at work. He had
become so accustomed to the "toot
tOot" at the Chicago convention he
couldn't sleep without it.

Toilette returned today from the
Baltimore convention and met in
quiries of whether he had conferred
with w. j. Brayn with the reply that
he absolutely had nothing to say on
that subject. Efforts to get the sena-
tor to deny or affirm that he had con-
ferred with Mr.. Bryan or other lead
ers on the third party movement or
any other political subject were met
with a consistent refusal.

SHOOTING EXClTES EUROPE
London and Other Capitals De-
plore Attack on Colonel.
fBy Cable 10 The Tribune. !

London, Oct 15.-News OF the at
tempt on the life OF Colonel Roosevelt
caused great sensation in England.
The extraordinary GOODNESS displayed
by the colonel IS matter OF general
wonder, THE Standard" saying that as
display NJ courage the ex-Presidents
performance is not unworthy OF rank
with any incident in the lore of ancient
Sparta or OF the samurai Of Japan.
The Standard" continues:
Roosevelt is gifted with courage in
It's highest forms, and he is a some
what exceptional man among the peo-
pie eminently distinguished for BRAY
cry and elf-possession. but the Incl
dent at Milwaukee throws his grit and
determination into even stronger relief
OF one thing we may be certain. how
ever furiously party telling may rage
in the United States-just now the
whole country is one with England in
deploring the attack on Roosevelt and
in hoping that soon he will be restored
TO his customary state OF robust, CHEEKY
health" The Daily Express says.
Right minded men In every country
will feel both intense sympathy with
Roosevelt and absolute detestaton Of
the criminals act. II. indeed, is impOs
sible 10 fathom the mind Of an anar-
chist who tries to murder ruler or
minister.
THE idea that governmental sys-
TEN, monarchical or republican. can be
overthrow by personal terrorism Las
long been exploded, yet the tragic de-
fusion that some definite human end
can be achieved by murder still holds
place In weak and criminal minds.
IL is most futile, as well as most
abominable, and only raises the object
OF attack to the pedestal Of popular
regard"
1.-THE Times" says: The dastardly
attempt on the life Of Mr.. Roosevelt
arouses in this country universal feel
ing of keen sympathy with the victim,
thankfulness for his escape from death
and stern Reproduction Of the author Of
the outrage"
Throngs gathered about the news
paper offices so densely that the police
had difficulty in keeping traffic In mo-
tion. The crowds scarcely could have
been larger II a King had been shot.
Extra editions OF the afternoon news
papers announced the shooting with
a vehement typographical display. Mes
sages from Continental capitals re-
ported equal interest throughout Eu-

ESUFFRAGIST OFFERS A REMEDY
OF Crank at Least Partly Responsible for His Deeds
and Prevent Development Of Gangsters.

Suffrage workers, both pro and anti
Roosevelt, were greatly stirred up
yesterday b. the news of the attempt
on the coloneIs life.
We are horribly shocked" said Mrs.
Harriet Stanton Batch at the Woman's
Political Union. This terrible affair
shows very plainly that we need law
In this country by which the relatives
OF man should be held responsible for
his actions. There were people about
this poor creature who had heard him
raving about Roosevelt before this.
They knew, or at least might have
feared, that he would do something
terrible. They should have taken steps
to restrain him.
There is too much Carelessness OF
this sort in America. II there were a
law under which those nearest the Of
fender were held partly responsible for
his deeds, this kind of thing would he
less likely to happen.

NEWSPAPERS ARE BLAMED
Assassination Grows Out of
Printed Attacks, Mayor Says.

Mayor Gaynor yesterday used the at
tempt on the life of Colonel Roosevelt
as an occasion for again attacking GER
tain newspapers. He said that the as
sassination OF the characters Of public
men was naturally followed by the
assassination of their bodies. which
kind of assassins Is the worse?' he
asked In a statement which reads as
follows:
The attempt &c kill Mr.. Roosevelt Is
depiorable IL is another proof OF a
very unhealthy condition among us. If
allowed to continue, II will result In gem
eral decentralization and lack Of moral
control The persistent abuse and assas-
sinations OF the characters OF public men
are naturally followed by assassnations Of
their bodies What else could you eK-
meet? These cranks are excited by the
Exaggerated and cruel articles they read.
The public little suspect the number Of
threats of assassination that are made
and sent by mall by snfiamed persons who
are ready to carry them out. They are
quite commonly written on the margins

Yes, indeed" she went on, I'm feel
ing very strongly these days about the
lawlessness we see on every side. What
with the police affairs downtown and
this awful shooting, the danger must
be brought home TO every thinking
person. We are not facing the prob
lens of city life to-day. We are chas-
ing will-o'-the- whisps far afeld and let
ting fearful conditions develop in our
dooryards.
Look at the groups Of young boys
lounging on every street corner! They
are the future gangsters.
What can we do? Well, we can
tackle the problem Of the public play
grounds. Make them so attractive that
the future gangsters' will prefer them
to the street corners. Every vacant lot
should be rented for a playground. The
roof of every public building should be
utilized, and the steeples cut off the
churches so that the boys could play
on their roofs, too"

ganizer of the New York local of the
Socialist party said:
81 have gone over the register of names
OF members, and cannot find Schrank's
name. He is certainly not an enrolled
Socialist, and I do not believe he Is any
kind of a Socialist. Socialists do not coun-
tenance assassination or violence. and
never did The attempted assassination
of Roosevelt was simply the act Of a
lunatic. We would condemn Schrank' s
act in any case. but we would condemn
II still more IL he were a Socialist. No
people In the United States condemn such
acts more bitterly than the Socialists do.
I'VE do not agree with the methods Of
Mr.. Roosevelt. but we have no personal

Little Talk Of Violence.

Milwaukee was remarkably quiet to-
night, considering the tension of last
night after the shooting in front Of the
fitzpatrick Hotel. Although expressions
Of deep regret for the occurrence and OF
solicitous inquiry as to Colonel Roose-
yelt's condition were heard everywhere,
there was little talk OF violence against
the former Presidents would-be as
sassin.
At no time to-day was there crowd
in the vicinity of either the central
police station or the county jail A
few, prompted by curiosity, called at
the county Jail and asked vainly to see
schrank.
Chief Of Police Jansen and Sheriff
Arnold said they expected no trouble,
although hotel Hobbies, theatres and
other meeting points were frequented
by numerous detectives tonight
Schrank looked little the worse this
morning for a night spent In cell at
the central station reposing on a plank
for a bed. He called for a cup Of
coffee and something TO eat shortly
after Z O'Clock. He was given sand
witch, which ne ate, though he said his
appetite was not very keen.
How do you feel this morning
schrank?" was asked as the prisoner
sat in his cell.
"Oh, pretty well, considering every
thing" he answered. I'm not used TO
sleeping on bed quite so soft as this
one" he added, pointing to the wide
board on which he was sitting.
Schrank still sticks to his story told
last night that the shooting was the re-
sult of a vision which came to him
some time ago. Asked as to whether
q WAS his desire to kill the former
President, schrank said 1t was not.
schrank is single man and claims
he had but one sweetheart. she was

the consequence Of his act. He talked
nationally. Asked as to his politics. ne
said he usually voted the Democratic
ticket, but that sometimes he voted as
Republican.
schrank's arraignment this morning
caused little excitement at the CITY

is located. Early in the day 1t had
been announced that SchranK "ouiu
