COL. ROOSEVELT
RECEIVES BULLET
Ex.President Is Shot By Fanatic
While on His Way TO
Auditorium.

Milwaukee, Oct. II Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt was shot and
slightly wounded tonight as he was
leaving the Gilpatrick hotel in this
city for the auditorium to make a
speech.
The wound was superficial and
the Colonel went on to the hall and
began his speech after seeing his
a, sassin arrested and taken to the
police station
Henry C. Cochems, a prominent
Wisconsin progressive, was stand
ing near to the eX-president and
seized the assassin and held him
prisoner until the policemen came
a few minutes later.
\ crowd surged around the mau
who apparently is radical on the sub
ject of Roosevelt running for a
third term. The police finally sue
ceeled iii protecting the assallant
from the mob.
The assassin. who is small of
stature, admitted firing the shot
saying, Any man looking for a
third term ought to be shot. In
notes found in the mans pocket at
the police station, were statements
that the man had been visited in
dream by the spirit of William Me-
kinley, who had told him, indlcat
ing Roosevelt, This is my muir
derer, avenge my death. y
COMPLETES HIS SPEECH
Roosevelt completed his speech
at 9: 4J and was taken to the Emer
gency hospital where six physicians
examined his wound and decided TO
take an eX-ray photograph.
Roosevelt's life was probably
saved by the manuscript of his
speech tonight. The bullet struck
the manuscript and glanced away
from its course.
The assassin, who after an hours
examination told the police that his
name was John Schrank, 80 East
Tenth street, New York City, was
prevented from firing second shot
by Albert NJ. Martin, one Of Roose-
velt s two secretaries.
Col. Roosevelt was taken to the
Mercy Hospital at Chicago on
Tuesday.

The statement, that no compllca-

physicians be able to say If the

Colonel Roosevelt hopes to be
able to leave Sunday for his home

say it may be necessary for him to
remain at the hospital for a week

IN that division which with us in Nash
vile became illustrious as tire Story
Hour League. We received our inspira-
ton from the visit of the raconteur Prof.
Wyche, president of the Story Tellers'
League. Being librarian at the Carnegie
Library, with the approval of my asso-
ciates, l arranged a children's hour in the
library one Saturday afternoon and an
nounced the meeting in the local papers.
one OF my colleagues said that one would
believe that the Pied Piper had come to
Nashville. playing his seductive tunes
Every nook and corner were filled with
the little folks. That first day was bit
ter disappointment, for the principal
story teller did not come and feared to
take up the work with my inexperience
But the next Saturday there was no hitch,
nor has there been since that first date
It is one of the sights of Nashville to see
the little ones crOWding to the library to
listen to stories. Nothing will lure them

and with a keen desire toward success.

dinner and go through the martyrdom at
tending the recital OF stories is sufficient

me with long letter written by himself

''LibI1 Aooks and the Kindred themes

in pursuance of a deep conviction that /
resolved to work for free circulating
libraries in my own state and inciden-
tally to aid others in their communities
Tennessee cannot CAIN to be the first
state in the Union to take hold of the free
and circulating library idea, but we do
claim that we srasped il very cary and
evo,yed the idea into huge dimensions
and absolute practicablity. The Tenncs-
see Federation of Women's Clubs was the
first organization to take hold Of and
circulate L taveiinS libraries. 1t got books
together by every legitimate means
loaned donated and purchased on the in
stal'nlent plan. and we used the simple
rule that every volume admitted must
answer one of the three purposes-to in
struct amuse or inspire. Subscription Ii
braries took immediate hold and became
fourishing in the most important rural
communities The members of the socie-
ties found a good central location for
their treasures, and with these permanent
centers the tedious work associated with
libraries on wheels was lessened. But
we penetrated into the mountains and
brought treasures to the isolated whites
in those regions, and. by the way, the
people in the mountains much finer
than the world at times has been led to
think. They arc backward in current in
formation or book learning, but they are
nob.e and intelligent race, full of pa
triarchal dignity and imbued with the
old patriarchal ideals of hospitality, of
honesty and upright dealing. Their
standard of morality is very high Our
travelling libraries still climb into the
heights and the most grateful and in
telligent of readers are these same people.
