scHRANk WRITES MUCH
But Has Made No Effort to Send Any
 Letters from Cell.

z Milwaukee, Wis. Oct 16.-John Schrank spent most of today writing, but so far nothing he has written has been made public Sheriff Arnold says Schrank has not attempted to pass anything that has been written out of his cell. Until he does this the sheriff will not avail himself of the privilege of scrutininzing any written communications.
 The letters found on Schrank after he had shot Colonel Roosevelt indicate. ahenists say. paranoia-
 Schrank had evolved 8 way to car- " his revolver so that It would be at all times easy to get at and at the same time be out of sight. He cut a hole in his lower vest pocket on the left side. Through this hole he pushed the barrel of the revolver. allowing it to extend down between his trousers and body, so that only the handle was in the vest pocket. Tn this manner il was not visible and was obtaina.ble at once: Scfrank says he carried the revolver in this manner for days.
 Wants to Be Let Alone. Schrank wants to be let alone. He is tired of the crowds of curious peo- pie.
 Now. Schrank," said Sheriff Arn- old, "a number of people have asked to see you, several newspaper men out side want to talk with you, and there is man who wants to take your pie ture. Do you want to see them?''
 Nc" said Schrank. T am tired. ] l have told all that I know and I am no1 ] going to talk any more. They have | taken about forty pictures of me, ant 1 that ought to be enough for the news i papers.in the entire United States. i Sdhrank is indignant because severa : of his questioners have seemed t, /. doubt some of his Statements.

 NO; bit some might come"
 Who are those friends 2"
 '+Oh, just some friends he answered E'I guess they wont come, anyway, s } 1t doesn't make any difference"

BULLET NOT POISONED.
Three Alienists Engaged to Decide as
 to Schrank's Sanity.

Milwaukee, Wis, Oct 16--All fear that the bullet with which Col. Roose- welt was shot might have been inoc- ulated with poison was dispelled to- day when Professor R. E. W. Sommer, analytical chemist notified District At torney Babel that no traces of poison were found by him in the empty shell and upon the other bullets in the pis- tol with which John Schrank shot Col. Roosevelt Monday night. A solution made by Prof. Sommers from scraping from the bullets and the empty shell was inoculated into guinea pigs, but no traces of poison were found.
 To satisfy himself of the mental condition of the would-be assassin and as the first step in the preparation of his case, District Attorney Babel has engaged the services of three alienists to examine Sehrank. I tis understood that each alienist will make his in- dfvidual examination of Schrank and then compare notes

RUMoR THAT BULGARIA
 HAS DECLARED WAR.
Is Not Confirmed-Montenegrins Cap. ture Another Turkish Position.

London, Oct. 16.-The Balkan fight ing remains limited to the Montene- grin border, and although the relations of Turkey with the other allied states are virtually broken, there is curious indisposidon on the part of Bulgaria and Servia to take a final place in the hostiIities.
 This hesitation is regarded in dip- lomatic quarters as good omen, pointing to the possibility that the powers may succeed in lessening the extent of the war. It is understood that most of the powers have accept ed in principle the suggestion of tho French premier for a European con- ference, but nothing has been decided
 upon as to when the conference will meet or what it's programme will be.
 The fact that Italy is now free ts enter the conference will greatly strengthen the European concert and is calculated to make the Balkan states more amenable to European
 pressure. The future status of Crete
 under the new conditions which 1t ls reported will be virtual annexation by Greece. is now engaging the attertio@ of the powers
 The rumor that Bulgaria has actual
 Iy declared war has not been confirm ed The Montenegr1ns, alter nafo fighting, have captured Berans- but m Is reported that there will be a pauBa in the operations around Tushi. Un-
 doubteedly this is due to the MonItenn- grins realizing that they have psdd too l dearly for their successes in heavy loss ! of life. King Nicholas accordingly has issued l a proclamation urging his soldiers to
 restrain their impetuostty and adopx
 themselves to modern conditions ce warfare.
 Severe Battle at 5erana. l Podgoritza, Montenegro, Oct. Is ! The surrender sf Berana to the Mon- | tenegrin forces today was preceded oy | the severest fighting. Seven thousand | Turks and Albanisns made their es-

Trial of Etter, Govanitti and caruse
 Begins at, Salem, Mass.-Newspapsr- men Tell of Statements of Accused.

Salem, Mass, Oct. 16.-Statements alleged toN have been made by Joseph J. Ettor, while conducting the textile strike in Lawrence last winter on which the commonwealth partly bases it's charges that he was an accessory before the fact in the shooting of An na Lopizzo, were repeated by witnesses for the prosecution at the trial of Ettcr and his two associates of the Indus trial Workers of the World today.
 Newspaperman Testifies.
 Harold F. Wheeler, a newspaperman, testified that he heard Ettor say when informed that troops were to be called to Lawrence to quell disturbances:
 ''I don't care if they bring an army here and put gallows on every corner. We showed them what we could do this morning.
 Said He Would Get Gun Himself. Another newspaperman, Joseph P. Toye, repeated several statements which he credited to Ettor. In one instance. after there had been riot, Ettor said, according to the witnesses:
 T was not surprised to learn what happened Friday, but am surprised that that was all that happened" On another occasion, witness said, the defendant Ettor remarked: If the licenses to carry arms which 1 have been granted to 'scabs in the mills are not revoked, we will keep ] the shops busy selling us guns I'll get one myself
 The latter part of this remark was made in an aside to the newspapermen present Toye said. e
 Other Alleged Utteranees of Ettor.
 Other utterances credited to Ettor by the witness were:
 "Herefater we won't pay a' cent in fines If the city will not feed the strikers outside the jails. they will be fed inside.p
 There have been camss where the l. w. w. filled the jails with their members and the same conditions are i likely to occur in Lawrence"
 Tt Is all very well for the judges td sit in soft cushioned chairs with their wigs and robes while the people starve."
 "They thought they could run the mills this morning, but someone else had something to say. We put ons over on them"
 Alleged Remarks to Strikers.
 Arthur Giovannitti who, with Ettor ] is charged with being an accessory be. fore the fact to murder, and Joseph Caruso, the alleged principal, were } barely mentioned in the evidence to- day. In his opening. District Attorne, Attwill declared the government woult give evidence to show that Giovan nitti on the morning that Lopizzo wo : man was shot, said to the strikers: "Go home now and sleep. Get ul when it's dark and go out and smasl the heads of the 'scabs," because whel it is dark no one can tell who did tn l smashing From now on be like will, animals looking for blood"
 The forenoon session was occupie
 by the reading of the indictments.

 Hill Attacks Democratic Tariff Pro- gramme.
 As expected the tariff was the chief topic of discussion. MT. Hill after at tacking the democratic caucus rule making the will of two thirds of the members binding, discussed the dem- ocratic programme of >;arin revision and it's probable effect on New Eng l land industries, claiming that with a l democratic majority made up chiefly l of southerners sectional favoritisn l would be in evidence to the advantage | of the south and to the injury of New 1 England. He quoted from speeches o1 1 prominent democrats, including MT 1 Underwood and Woodrow Wilson, tC | the effect that the programme Wa: 1 really one of free trade.
 1 Democrats Applaud Hill. l While it was a democratic rally ant | the majority of those present were l democrats, there were practically nt Interruptions and MT. Hill was ire quently applauded.
 I Mir. Underwood was often forced t, pause until applause subsided. H
 caused a general laugh by referring t.

 MT. Underwood explained the tari1
 measures passed by the last house an
 spent considerable time replying t
 MT. Hills argument that sectionalisr , would determine legislation, citin from bills proposed by him to prov
 the point. He denounced CannonisI l, and standpat republicanism, as tn same thing and said that the demo !, crats would have tariff for revenu } onlw and not forF the protection ( , manufacturers proflts.

now serving the second term and
is asking a denomination for the
office. In the four years that he
has had charge of the schools of
the county he has fully measured
up to the requirements of the Of

alton into the work, being schol
ar of college and university educa-
ton, holder of degrees, state certi-
ficates from this and other states,
and a practical school man in the
fullest sense of the word, he has
raised the standard of education in
this county and has put an energy
and originality into the work that
has made him unusually popular
with teachers, pupils and patrons.
Probably no county superintend-
ent in the state is doing more per
