Schrank Bitterly Opposed a
Monarchial Form of Gov
ernment Judging from His
Writings.
GAVE CONTROL OF
ESTATE TO FRIEND
But the Latter Will Not Ad-
nit Roosevelt's Assailant
Is lnsane.-Schrank Still
Is Indifferent.

NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-More than
100 letters written in German by John
Schrank, the Bavarian who shot Col
Roosevelt, were found by detectives to-
day at 14s Cooper street, Williams
burgh. They were Immediately taken
to the Brooklyn police headquarters
for translation.
A number of cartoons found with
the letters plainly showed the bent Of
Schrank's thoughts. One showed EN-
peror William straddling the world
with his sword upraised Beneath was
written apparently in Schrank's own
hand: Down with the Kings and EN-
perors"
Schrank formerly rented room at
this place from Edward Lauering. who
has known him for the last IL years.
Lauering said today that he had ta-
ken over Schrank's property consisting
of two houses on East S1st street and
worth about $22, ,000 Schrank gave him
a power-of-attorney and Lauering col
lected the rents and turned the money
over to Schrank as he deemed the lat
ter needed it. Schrank will be given
such comforts as can be arranged for
him while in jail and he will be de-
Tended. There is little doubt from
what could be gathered from what
Lauerfng had to say that the defense
will be insanity. -=z ..-z-4.,- s.
why did you take over the property
of Schrank?" Lauering was asked
Had Good Reasons.
"For good and sufficient reasons" !"
replied Lauering. II deemed 1t advisa-
BILE as Schrank's friend, that 1 take
care of the property"
But Lauering would not say in so
many words that Schrank was con-
sidered mentally unable to look after
his property himself.
From other Williamsburg friends Of
Schrank it appeared that after the
death of his uncle, Schrank was in the
habit of going to Evergreen cemetery
where the uncle was buried and read
ing for hours while sitting on a camp
stool upon the grave. He would pluck
flowers as he read and continuously
keep watering the grave from a little
green, tin watering pot. In many other
ways he showed his erratic state of
mind

IT'S UP TO TURKEY.

VIENNA, Oct. 16.--An ultimatum
was simultaneously presented to Tur-
key today by Servia, Bulgaria and
Greece, according to dispatches from
Athens and Selenika.
A general declaration of war which
will ally Servia, Bulgaria and Greece
with Montenegro in war upon Turkey
is expected to follow at once.
The ultimaturn came as q result of
the refusal of Turkey to give a salts
factory answer to the powers which
sought guarantees of reforms in Euro
pean Turkey.
Tcday's ultimatum is the one pre-
pared several days ago by the Balkan
states but which was held in allegiance
until the powers could brong further
pressure on the Turkish government.

''Mr. Walter Bedight, 81,
Mayor of Ossian: . 55.5S
Dear Sir: The levity Of your de-
meanor at yesterdays trial and the
ostensibly nonchalant attitude you
chose to take of the sentence inflict-
ed, leads me to believe that you are
considering this very serious matter
altogether too lightly. Under ordinary
circumstances a hand some trifier
might ride into a woman's camp like
Lochinvar, boldly grasp a pretty girl
in his arms and kiss her, without pay
ing more severe penalty than the
scorn of the camp and few surface
scratches. And even you. evidently
gentleman as well as politician,
might have escaped with a fitting re-
buke had you been luckier. Unen-
numbered by baggage and feeling IN
bound by our court to remain, you
could have drifted away into the eve
ming shadows and laughed at our ef-
forts to restrain you.
But, Mr. Bedight. as a candidate

coupling your vital forces In this tran.
