Doinu Good Work,

At the meeting of the State Board
of Education Col. D. Stewart Craven
asked for an explanation from the
committee in charge of the School for
the Deaf in this city to the accusa-
tons made by the New Jersey Society
for the Deaf that the school was
poorly managed and inefficient. Every
member of the State Board received
a copy of the resolutions passed by
the State society at its annual meet
ing charging the State with neglecting
its wards. On behalf of the committee
in charge of the school, Melvin W.
Rice said that a thorough ~investiga-
ton had been made into the charges.
He asserted that they emanated from
a disgruntled employee who had been
discharged by the committee because
she was no longer able to continue
her work. Mr.. Rice said that there
was absolutely no truth made in the
charges; that the best of results are
being obtained at the school; that the
institution is well and efficiently man
aged and that the accusation of the
State society was unfair and without
grounds. MI. Rice said that he had
placed the investigation of these
charges into the hands of a Mr.. Pach,
a prominent photographer of New
York City, and a deaf person. Mr..
Pach wrote a letter to Mr.. Rice, in
which he referred in the highest
praise of the work being done here
and said that there was no room for
criticism.

people and told them to spare the
man, who was taken into the hotel and
held there until he was removed to
the police station.
In spite of the entreaties of physi-
clans, Colonel Roosevelt insisted on
delivering his address.
Il will make this speech or die, one
or the other" he exclaimed.
Henry F. Cochems, one of the Wis
consin Progressive leaders, told the
great crowd which had assembled in
the Auditorium that Colonel Roosevelt
had bee shot, and asked the people
to be calm. The crowd was thrown
into a panic by the announcement,
but Colonel Roosevelt Gained the peo-
pie by rising and assuring them that
he was not badly hurt.
Then he began his address. Several
times he seemed to be growing weak,
and members of his party rose to help
him. He motioned them to sit down.
LET me alone, I'm all right" he
said.
Shot in Front of Hotel.
The shooting took place in the
street in front of the Hotel Gilpatrick,
Colonel Roosevelt reached Milwaukee
soon after 5 o'clock p. M, and making
his way through the crowd which had
gathered at the station, entered an au.
tomobile and was driven to the hotel.
After dinner Colonel Roosevelt
went to his room on the second floor
OF the hotel and a little before s
o'clock he started for the Auditorium.
His automobile stood in front of the
door, and about it was a big crowd,
waiting to catch a glimpse of the
Colonel as he started off.
With the Colonel was Philip Roose.
welt, a young cousin; Mr.. Cochems,
MI. Martin and Captain Girard.
The crowd pressed close about the
Colonel and gave a cheer as he ap-
peared. AS the party approached the
automobile Colonel Roosevelt's com
panions stood aside and he stepped
into the car. Martin entered directly
behind him, and sat on the further
side of the car.
ColoHel Roosevelt stood up, waving
his hat in answer to the cheers of the
crowd. The assassin was standing in
the crowd, a few feet from the auto,
mobile. He pushed his way to the
side of the Car and, raising his revol
yer, fired.
Martin caught the flash, and leaped
over the car a second after the bullet
sped On it's way.
Colonel Roosevelt barely moved as
the shot was fired. Before the
crowd knew what had happened. Mar
tin, who is six feet tall and an ex.
football player, had landed squarely
on the would-be assassin's shoulders
and had borne him to the ground. He
threw his right arm about the mans
neck with a deathlike grip, and with

FROM LOCKJAW

Thorough Examination Shows Victims
Escape from Instant Death Was
Narrow-CoIoneps Hearty Break
fast After X-Ray Examination.

Chicago.-Colonel Roosevelt rested
easily at the Mercy Hospital on the
day after he was shot'by John Schrank
in Milwaukee. He had much less pain
in breathing than in the forenoon,
practically no cough.
Another X-ray examination was
made by the surgeons. No effort was
made to extract the net. AS 1t had
not penetrated the lungs or pleural
cavity its presence for a time at east
is lot regarded as extremely danger
GUS.
Aside from the ever present danger
of blood poisoning there is every hope
for recovery. The surgeons say the
magnificent physical condition OF Col
onel Roosevelt, due to his habit Of CON
slant exercising and his habitual absti-
nence from liquor and tobacco is to a
great extent responsible for their be-
lief that he will quickly recover, un-
less complications develop.
Precautionary measures against the
possible development of lockjaw were
taken. A pro-phylactic dose of anti
tetanic serum was administered just
before the doors were closed to all
callers.
Absolute rest and quiet and cessa-
ton from talking for the next 10 days
have been ordered. He must give up
campaigning.
Anyway, if I had to die, I wanted to
die with my boots on" Colonel Roose-
welt said in explaining his determine
don to make his speech in Milwaukee.
1--WE had a middling lively time,' he
said in referring to the shooting.
With the knowledge that the condi-
ton of Mr.. Roosevelt was far more
serious than his exhibition of deter.
mined nerve in speaking at Milwaukee
sent up a mighty chorus of sympathy.
President Taft and Governor Wilson
sent kilograms to their stricken foe,
voicing this feeling.

murder. He pleaded guilty and was
held for trial on Dec. 10 in $500, the
heaviest bail under the law for his
crime.
In his confession to the police
Schrank denied he was a Socialist or
an Anarchist. He was a member OF
no political party he said. He admitted
he had followed Colonel Roosevelt for
weeks seeking an opportunity to kill
him.
Schrank is the owner of an apart.

The former President arrived in Chi

was taken to the hospital where an
X-ray examination was made. This
showed his escape from instant death
had been narrow. Had the bullet en-.
tered less than an inch above or be
low where it did the lung or liver
would have been pierced.
After the examination the Colonel
ate a breakfast of bacon and eggs

time, followed by a doze. The even

Applied for License.

Louis Schmidt has again applied for
a license to conduct an inn and tavern
at Wilburtha. His application, con-
tanning the signatures of twelve resi-
dents of that vicinity, was filed in the
county clerks Office. A separate petit
ton, containing thirty additional sig
natures, was also filed. The applica-
ton will likely be passed upon by
Judge Gnitchel in Mercer court, and
speculation is rife as to what DISPOSE
ton will be made of the matter.
Schmidt's license was never revoked
by the court but when it expired last
May Judge Gnitchel refused a renewal
because of certain scandals revealed
in a personal investigation. If the IL
cense had been revoked the place
would have to be closed one year by
operation of the law. The place came
into prominence through the Brook
vile tragedy January Is, last, in which
five persons lost their lives when an
automobile in which they were riding
plunged into the water power. Before
the accident the party stopped at
Schmidt's for drinks.

Milwaukee.-Col. Theodore Roose-
right breast in front of the Hotel Gill
patrick shortly before s o'clock p. M,
as he was about to enter his automo-
bile to go to the Auditorium for his
evening address.
His assailant was John Schrank, a
Socialist of New York City, who said
he had received a spirit order from
President Mckinley to do the deed.
The bullet entered the flesh under
the right nipple, but it's force was
broken by the manuscript of the
speech which Col. Roosevelt had pre-
pared. He at first declared he had
not been wounded, but on the way to
the hall a hole was noticed in his
overcoat and it was found that his
shirt was covered with blood. Never
the less he insisted on delivering his
speech, and went on, for fifty minutes,
even though his weakness became so
apparent that physicians insisted that
he should stop.
After his speech he was taken to the
Emergency Hospital to have his
wound examined.
Five hundred men ran to Police
Headquarters after the police automo-
bile which rescued the Colonel's as
s~ailant, but reserves quickly dubbed
the mob from the vicinity and the I'M
identified prisoner was taken to the
private quarters of Chief of Police
Jansen, who was summoned to put
the man through a grilling cross-ex-
animation.
Not less dramatic was the scene at
the auditorium where the Colonel was
delivering an impromptu speech than
that at Police Headquarters, where
the police were trying to force from
the assailant an explanation of his at
tack on the ex-President, which was
in part explained by a long proclama-
ton to the people found in his pocket.
At 1890 o'clock Colonel Roosevelt
was sitting on the operating table in
the Emergency Hospital talking poll
tics with the physicians while they
were awaiting the arrival of the x
ray machine, in an effort to find the
bullet.
Shot AS He Enters Automobile.
Colonel Roosevelt had just stepped
into the automobile when the would
be assassin pushed his way through
the crowd in the street and fired. AL
bert H. Martin, one of his secretaries,
who was standing in the car with the
Colonel, leaped onto the mans shout

SEWAGE EXPERT card.

Gates Installation of lmhof Tanks.

John H. Gregory of New York AsVo-
Gates Installation of lmhof Tanks.
Members Of the city commission
were greatly enlightened on the ques-
ton of sewage disposal when John H.
Gregory, a New York City sewage ex.
pert, talked to them on this subject
for about two hours. MI. Gregory
planned and supervised the construc-
ton of several of the largest sewage
disposal plants in the country, and the
information he impaired on the ques.
ton was most valuable, especially in
view of the fact that Trenton has been
forced to take steps along this direc-
ton by reason of the decision of the
State Board of Health, which body
has forbidden the construction of ad-
ditional sewers in the city until pres
ent conditions are remedied. Engi-
neer Gregory explained that a sewage
disposal plant could be erected here
that would, in all likelihood, meet with
the approval of the State Board Of
Health for about $500, 900. The cost
of maintenance of the plant, aside
from the interest on the necessary
bond issue would be, it was estimated,
about $4,000 per year.
Nuisance Is Abated.
The system referred 10 would con-
sist of Imhoff tanks and sludge drying
beds. These would reduce the sewage
so that it would likely come within the
requirements of the State Board of
Health. The sewage would go into
the Delaware river without creating
any nuisance. Should the city decide
to adopt the system referred to it
would be possible at a later date to
make additions to the plant at a cost
Of something like another $400, 900.
These additions would, of course, fur
Their purify the sewage. The addition
would include sprinkling filters. The
time required to construct the system
would be, it was estimated, about two
open seasons. While a portion of the
plant could possibly be finished during
the first summer it could not be placed
into operation. Engineer Gregory ex-
planned that the Imhoff tanks are be-
ing installed in several cities and that
where they are employed they seem
to work satisfactorily. There is n

For the third time Frederick M.
Foster, of this city, has discovered
that he is a lucky young man Foster
was introduced to Walsh the aviator,
and made all arrangements to make
the flight with him at the fair grounds,
the fight that ended in Walsh's death.
When young Foster tried to enter the
enclosure an oficious Policeman made
him stop and before he could get a
permit Walsh had started on his flight.
Foster was in the car when Jack Col
gam, the famous auto driver, was
killed, and last winter Foster was the
driver of the car which plunged into
the water power, snuffing out five
lives. In both instances Foster es-
capped unscathed.
