L. S. SUPREME COURT OPENS
Many Important Cases to Be Heard
by This Term of Court.

There were twenty-one cases of
major Importance set for argument
before the Supreme Court when the
fall term opened last Monday. Among
the important suits to be argued are
the international rate case, the cot
ton corner case, the suit against the
alleged bath-tub trust, the L. & N.
rate case, which involved the power
of the commerce court to weigh evil
dence presented and previously pass
ed upon by the Interstate Commerce
Commission and the embezzlement
case of William r. Breese and Joseph
Dickerson, of Asheville, N. c.
1t is also probable that the Kan
sas ballot case. involving the right
of the Roosevelt electors to remain
on the Republican ticket in that State
will come up. The ballots must be
printed for the November election
several days before that event. II the
Supreme Court is 20 say anything of
practical effect on the case, its de-
cision must be rendered during the
latter part of October.

Milwaukee, Wis, Oct. 14.-Theo-
dore Roosevelt was shot in the breast
here tonight by an unidentified man.
The extent of the injury is unknown.
With a bullet in his body, Colonel
Roosevelt went to the auditorium to
make his speech He refused to per-
nit physicians to examine the wound
until he had finished his speech.
Colonel Roosevelt's physician re-
fused to express an opinion whether
the Colonel was seriously hurt until
he had examined the wound
Colonel Roosevelt saw his assailant
arrested and taken to the police sta
ton.
Henry F. Cochems seized the man,
and held him until policemen came
up. A mob surged around the prs
Oner, who apparently is mentally up
set on the subject Of Roosevelt's run
ming for another term as President.
The man, who is small of statue,
admitted firing the shot, and said
that amy man looking for a third
term ought to be shot"
In notes found in the mans pock-
cts at the police station, was a state
ment that the assailant had been Wis
tied in a dream by the spirit of Will
liam Mckinley, who had said, indicat-
ing Colonel Roosevelt, this is my
murderer, avenge my death"
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 auditorium. His at
tention was then called to hole in
his overcoat and he found his shirt
was soaked with blood. He insisted
ne was not badly hurt. A superficial
examination was made when he
reached the auditorium and three
physicians agreed he was in no imme-
date danger.
Colonel Roosevelts life probably
was saved by a manuscript of the
speech which he delivered tonight.
Ihe bullet struck the manuscript,
which retarded its force as it passed
through into the flash. His asSail-
ant was prevented from firing a Sc
cond shot by Albert H. Martin, one of
colonel Roosevelt's two secretaries.
colonel Roosevelt had just stepped
INTO an automobile when the would
oe assassin pushed his way through
lne crowd in the street and fired.
Martin, who was standing in the car
With the Cplonel, leaped onto the
mans shoulders and bore him to the
sIound. Captain A. o. Girard, of
-"iIWaukee, who was on the front
seat, Jumped almost at the same time
"nu IN an instant the man was over
powered and disarmed.
"A wild cry of"1ynch him. went up.
Colonel Roosevelt spoke to the peo-
pie and told them to spare the man,
VINO then was hken into the hotel
anu neld there until he was removed
TO the police station.
IN spite of the atreaties of physi-
II%ns' Colonel Roosevelt insisted upon
ueIVering his address.
IN make this speech or die, one
VI tne other" he SAID.
nenry F. CochemsI one of the Wis
onsln Progressive leaders, told the
e,eat toe crowd assembled in the audi
hum ium that Colonel Roosevelt had
oe, cen shot and asked the people to be
iu.n i' The crowd was thrown almost
'0 panic by the an nnouncement.

Mrs. Roosevelt Hears the News.
New York, Oct 14.-Mrs. Theo-
dore Roosevelt was attending a mus
ical comedy at Broadway theatre
tonight at the time the attempt was
made upon her husbands life In
Milwaukee. The news was broken to
her as she sat in a box with a party
of friends. Mrs. Roosevelt was very
much alarmed and Immediately left
the theatre.
Shortly after midnight Mrs. Roose-
welt received a telegram which had
evidently been dictated by her hus-
band assuring her that he was in no
danger and making light of the at.
tempt on his life. The telegram
read:
81 am now in the American
Hospital. The bullet did not hit
anything vital and think they
will find it somewhere around.
1t Is not more serious than the
injury the boys received. My
voice is holding out well, and
will go On with the trip Don't
worry. Love to ALL
