ROOSEVELT FIRED ON BY FANATIC
Foe Of Third Term Idea Shoots Him
as He Enters His Automobile

Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, Pro-
gressive candidate for president of
the United States, was shot in the
right breast and seriously wounded
about 8 o'clock Monday night while
seated in an automobile in Milwau-
kee, ready to start to the auditori-
um where he was to deliver an adj
dress. The would-be murderer was
John Schranck of New York City,
who is apparently demented on the
subject of the third term.
Col. Roosevelt did not consider
the wound serious and, against the
earnest protest of physicians, went
on and delivered his speech. His
assailant was captured and placed
in prison. After his speech Col.
Roosevelt permitted an examination
of his wound and was afterward
taken to a hospital at Chicago,
where he will probably remain
about ten days.
The bullet passed through a
heavy overcoat, the manuscript of
his speech, his spectacle case and
clothing, struck and fractured the
fourth rib on his right side and
passed into his body, but touched
no vital organs. The bullet had
not yet been removed from his body
yesterday, but surgeons agree that
the only danger is from blood
poison.
The assassin is a foreigner and
says he had trailed Mr.. Roosevelt
for several days, hoping to be able
to kill him. The dastardly crime
is shock to the whole nation and
messages of sympathy have been
sent to Mr.. Roosevelt by prominent
men of all parties.

PUBLIC MEETING TO DISCUSS
WATERFRONT IMPROVEMENTS

There will be public meeting un
Wednesday, March 13, when the ques-
ton of the proposed change on the

an improved waterfront will be in
order.
The important changes that were
advocated in the resolutions intro
duced by Commissioners Wakefield
yesterday are causing much discus.
sion, and the whole project of build
ing a railroad around the waterfront,
installing an oil pipe line and con

changes, however, and the scheme has
been added to considerably.
At the present time there is a pipe
line for oil along the waterfront. The
pipe is rather small for general pur.
poses, however, and larger one
would have to be installed. The own.
ers of the present pipe line are under
obligation to extend the pipe to any
government wharf, if requested to do
so, by the harbor commissioners.
At the public meeting OF March 10
It is expected that there will be ex-
pressed a favorable opinion of the
scheme, as outlined yesterday. The

himself as a mosquito sleuth when he

sources of supply of the mosquitoes
which infest the Board of Healths

One place was in an obscure corner
of a tenement house owned by All
Leong, adjoining the grounds of the
judiciary building, where the inspec-
tor found many cans containing water
in which the larvae were breeding.
Another place was a barrel in the

has always resided in this city, and
for the past twenty or thirty years
has been numbered among the most
prominent business men of the Terri
tory. For three successive years,
from 1907 to 1910, he was president
of the Honolulu Chamber of Com
merce, and would have been elected
for the fourth time had not his health
been such that he refused to permit
his name to be considered.
Mr.. Morgan was educated at Puma
hou, but he left school early to go to
work. He was for some time an er-
rand boy in the firm of II. Hackfeld d
Co.. and a little later he obtained a
similar place in the auction rooms OF
L. p. Adams & Co. Later he became
a partner in the firm, and finally sue
ceeded to TIE entire business, which
he conducted up to about five years
ago, when he sold the auction part OF
his business to devote his entire time

Land Commissioner c. S. Judd has

Mr.. Judd intends returning to the

Mr.. Judd took up his position rs
land commissioner and chairman Of

The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1912-02-29

Tucker was thought to have had a
good chance of obtaining the position,
before Mr.. Judd was appointed.
There is a strong probability that,
in the future, the offices of land com
missioner and chairman of the agri-
cultural board will be divorced. That
two men will be appointed to hold
down the jobs is thought to be the
scheme. The chairman of the agricul.
tural board would receive no salary
as the position is an honorary one.
Governor Frear said this morning
that he would probably within a few
days announce the names of the men
who are to get the positions. Mr.
Tucker is away on Hawaii at present
but should be returning to Honolulu
on Saturday.
