WANT ADS. CENT A WORD,
The united opinion. [volume] (Bradford, Vt.) 1881-1970, 1912-10-18

Colonel Roosevelt began to speak
in a firm voice, somewhat lower than
its usual tone, and except that his
characteristic gestures we're less en-
phatic than usual there was nothing
about the man to indicate his condi-
ton.
The colonel continued his speech
evidently with increasing effort, but
he succeeded in making himself heard
and talked for more than an hour.
Then he was rushed to his automobile
and flashed through the streets to the
emergency hospital.
The operating room had been placed
in readiness to receive Roosevelt, and
six surgeons were awaiting his ar
rival.
Colonel Roosevelt was undressed
and placed upon the operating table,
although he insisted that he was not
badly hurt and that the doctors were
taking it too seriously.
Colonel Is Cheerful
An examination of the wound
showed that it had been made by
bullet of large size. 1t entered the
fleshy part of the right breast, half
way between the collar bone and low
er rib. The physicians found that
they know no more after their exam
ination than before as to the location
Of the bullet, and it was decided to
send for an X-ray machine to deter
mine to what depth the missile had
penetrated. While he was waiting
for the X-ray machine, Roosevelt sat
up on the operating table and talked
politics and joked with the physi-
clans.
In the meantime, hidden away in an
inner room in the police station,
Roosevelt's assailant was being sub
mitted to a rigid examination. He re-
fused stubbornly to give an account
himself, and would say nothing ex-
cept, Il will tell you tomorrow.
After a long siege, however, the
police forced from him the statement
that was John Schrank of New York.
Clippings found in the mans pock-
cts showed that he had studied Roose-
velt's itinerary carefully, with the evil
dent intention of selecting the places
at which he might accomplish what he
had in mind.

1t appears from the information col

the rising cost of living has directed
attention to and augmented the mem

more especially in France and Bel

Citations are In the main arranged
upon the same system as those in the

doctors and artisans for their services
by members on a commission basis.
The operation of the agricultural go
cities has been especially successful in
southern France. The French govern
ment has given announcement to
these societies by furnishing expert
advice. granting subventions, and per-
hitting long term loans by agricul-
tural credit associations. The general
buying is done principally through dis
trict unions. High-grade farm machin-
cry such as is beyond the reach of
many individual members Is pur.
chased from the SURPRISES or is loaned

In regard to industrial cooperative
production it appears that plants
owned and operated by the operatives
are not uncommon in France.

popular summer resorts of the south
ern part of the state. partially wreck
ed the north wing and seriously en-
dangered the main structure.
The flames were discovered by en-
ployes in the attic of the L, which
contains the kitchen and dining
rooms. An immediate alarm was
turned in, and although the blaze
was not of serious proportions at
first, it was almost beyond control
before the Waukesha flremen, ham
pered by lack of apparatus and in
sufficient pressure, were able to fight
it effectively.
The engine of the Waukesha de-
partment had been sent to Milwau-
kee for repairs, and call for assist
ance was sent to the department OF
that city.
Several flremen narrowly escaped
injury when the room of the north
L collapsed and wrecked that por-
tion of the building. Glass in the
rotunda was broken and the lobby
and the east wing badly damaged
by smoke and water. The west wing
was not seriously endangered and
the fire loss there will not be as
large. The total loss is estimated
at about $4,000.
The structure, which is of brick
and largely fireproof. is insured for
$155, 900.

OUTLAW IS SCORED
PROSECUTOR ARRAIGNs ALLEN
AS coLD-RLooDED MURDERER.
Lawyer for Slayer Declares Client Did
Not Shoot Until After He Had
Been Wounded.

Wytheville. Va, May 4-Floyd AL
len, typical native of Virginia's isolat-
ed hills, probably for the first time in
his life, has arrived at realization OF
the determination OF the law when it
deals with the man who has taken
human life.
At the opening of his trial Thursday
for the murder of Commonwealth At
torney William M. Foster. Allen,
propped up in an easy chair to ale
viate the pain of his own wounds,
heard a new prosecutor thunderousIy
denounce him as the arch-conspirator
In one of the most atrocious crimes
in the history of the world.
]. c. Wysof, chief counsel for the
state. in his opening address charac-
terized the Allen gang as ruffians, out
lows and cold-blooded assassins. He
laid great stress on the charge of con
spiracy.
The opening address OF Attorney r.
III. Willis for the defense was brier
He declared his client had been the
victim of gross exaggerations. He de-
MED that Allen killed Miss Nancy
Ayers; 1t was the bullets of either
Clerk Dexter Goad or one of his dep.
uties which killed her, he said. He
denied the existence of conspiracy
anc declared Allen did not draw his
own gun until after he had been shot
and then he drew 1t from his hip
pocket, not from his vest pocket, be-
meath the sweater.
Judge D. w. Bolen of Hillsvilie
who had been Floyd Aliens counsel
took the witness chair and detailed
the shooting at the courthouse. He
declared that Claude Allen fired the
first shot
S. B. Weddell, former resident OF
Hillsville, said he saw Floyd Allen
there the day before the tragedy. AL
len told him that day, the witness de
clared: Il viii kin Bill Foster before
the sun goes down tomorrow night ii
/ am convicted"
Weddell said he had always been a
close friend of the prisoner.
