TEDDY's ASSASSIN TALKS
~ Failed In My Life's Work." Says
John Schrank, Talking to
Reporter.

Milwaukee, Wisdom Schrank,
the man who tried to shay Col. Theo'
dore Roosevelt, stared at a group OF
newspaper men who stood outside the
door Of his cell at the police station
here, and asserted that his life had
been wasted because Roosevelt will
live. .'
"S~uicide?" he said, with a note OF
wonder in his voice; II never thought
of it. I did not expect to survive
Theodore Roosevelt more than ten
minutes. 1 thought the mob would
lynch me. That, Of course, was of no
consequence to me. The work OF my
life would have been finished if I had
put a bullet In the heart of the man
who is seeking a third term as pres
ident.
The police are convinced that
Schrank is a maniac. They are max
ing a rigid investigation Of his past
life to see If he had any accomplices,
but are convinced that he acted alone
in his attempt to kill the former pres
ident, after following him
In appearance Schrank is short,
stout and shabbily dressed. The most
remarkable part of his features Is his
eyes. They are red-rimmed, blue and
watery. At times they have a wild,
incoherent look and ut others he gives
a meaningless stare, as though their
owner is unconscious of what is going
on around him.
In his confession Schrank said that
he expected to be torn limb from limb
after killing Roosevelt.
81 did not think of escape after
ward" he said. Il did not think there
was a chance in the world. I expected
that I would be torn to pieces before
I would have time to fire at myself,
even if I had planned suicide.
"My intention was to shoot repeat
edlv at Roosevelt until 1 knew he was
dead, and by that time it would have
been too late for me to do anything
to myself or for myself.

TURKEY HAS SURRENDERED
WAR BETWEEN EUROPEAN coUN
TRIES WHICH HAS LASTED A
YEAR ENpS-lTALY VICTOR.
Ottoman Empire Is Relieved Of :
Handicap In the Forthcoming
Struggle In the Balkans.

Ouchy, STANDARDIZATION months
Of diplomatic strife for better terms,
Turkey surrendered and the Ottoman
and Italian plenipotentiaries signed
the protocol Of a peace treaty, which
ends the war between Italy and Tur-
key, and incidentally relieves the Of
toman empire Of a crushing handicap
in the forthcoming struggle in the
Balkans.
The precise terms will not be avail
able until a definite treaty is signed
probably at lausanne. Their tenor,
however. is well known. The treaty
will provide for absolute sovereignty
of Italy in Libya, without formal rec
ognition there Of Italy by Turkey;
free exercise Of religious authority by
the khalif; Turkey to withdraw her
regular troops from Libya; Italy to
pay an indemnity equivalent to Lib
ya's contributions to the Ottoman en-
pire: restitution of the captured isl.
ands to Turkey, with guara4 .aes for
the Christian peoples; no indemnity
payable by either side toward the cost
of war and re-establishment Of former
diplomatic and commercial relations.
There has been doubt as to wheth-
er the war, which has lasted for more
than q year, would be brought to a
peaceable close. Italy's time limit for
the conclusion Of peace expired Octo-
Der IL, but on that day she granted
three days grace to Turkey to decide
whether 1t should be peace or a con-
tinuance Of the war. A definite un-
derstanding vas reached when on the
arrival Of a special message from
Constantinople a conference took
place between the delegates repre-
senting the two countries.
