CALL SCHRANK INSANE
Medical Sharks Recommend Sanity
Clearing House for Cities.

New York, Oct 16.-The conviction
that Schrank is insane is expressed in
a statement given out here by three
prominent New York alienists, Drs.
Carlos Mcdonald, William Mabon and
Max Schlapp. The statement adds:
1T is apparent Mr.. Roosevelt's as
sailant belongs 10 the class of mental
detectives who are potential criminals,
liable at any moment to commit deeds
of violence upon the slightest provoca-
ton to redress trivial or imaginary
wrongs.
According to present reports,
Schrank is &c years old, he lived in
this city and has known Col. Roose-
welt since he was police commissioner
here in 1895, since the age of 10.
In all probability he showed then traits
of character indicative of the mental
habit that impelled him to this act.
TT is certain that numbers of such
i'll balanced individuals mentally and
morally defective, are today at large
in this city. There should be some
system whereby competent experts can
see such individuals and judge whether
the community should be 5afeguarded
against them. We recommend the es-
tablishmeDt of a clearing house for the
examination of mentally defective per-
sons, under the charge of a body of
accredited experts in mental and nerv-
Gus diseases.

Railroad officials of the Rock Island

however, they have more grounds than
ever on which to base their fears-the
yearly ghost of a probable union de-

railway officials today that the To-

quotes as follows from Capper's Osa-
watomie speech IF last SatuI day

'I have been Republican ali my

fidenca in the Republican party. l am
proud of its record and 1 say frankly
that I intend to remain a Republican

This declaration by the Topeka pub
Usher occasioned the following edi-
torial on the first page of today's Kan
sas City Times:
''Mr. Capper's declaration makes the
situation clear for sProgressives in
Kansas. There is no candidate of the
Progressive party = in the state
George H Hodges, the Democratic
candidate, is opposing Mr.. Capper, the
Republican candidate. Progressives
must make a choice between these two
candidates.
Mr.. Hodges is a progressive who
has been 1ried in a position that put
to the severest test his belief in the
progressive policies advocated by
Theod ore Roosevelt and the Progress
sive party. Since the election of 1904
he has been a member of the Kansas
senate. He has opposed his own party
when necessary to stand for the peo-
pie. He has made himself a doni-
nant factor in the making of every
progressive law that has put Kansas
in the list of progressive states.
Mr. Hodges was nominated for
governor as the progressive leader of
his party against two reactionary can
didates. His record is all that is
needed to give positive assurance to
every voter that he is a real progress
sive.
"In choosing between the Republi-
can candidate and the Democratic
candidate for governor of Kansas the
Progressive voters are left to decide
only the question as to which one of
the two candidates is best equipped to
put into actual execution the policies

Chicago. Oct. 16.-The four n rio on
Col Roosevelt's right side was frac-
tured by the bullet which struck him
at Milwaukee, Monday night. This be-
came known today after members or
his family had visited him. 1t was also
learned that the x-ray photographs
taken in Milwaukee failed to reveal the
exact location of the bullet. A more
minute examination of the plates Will
be made this afternoon. The fractured
rib, it was explained, had caused the
patients pain in breathing previously
noted by the surgeons.
Not until Friday will it be definitely
known whether Col. Roosevelt is in
serious danger froLl the wound in
ficted by John Schranks bullet at Mil
waukee Monday night.
This information was CLEANED from
the surgeons in attendance on the col
onel today. 1t was said that all con
ditions were favorable to the dis
tinguished patients recovery, so far as
indications have developed thus far but
that it was impossible to determine
whether blood poisoning would follow.

ASKS An APOL OCY
Turkey VIII Give the Balkan
States "a Hours
In Which to Make ReparatfOn
for InsoIent Note.

London, Oct. 16.-Turkey's full
strength has been loosed against her
ancient enemies. Peace in the war
with Italy has freed the sultan's fleet,
and united in action with the ottoman
army it will be rushed into active
campaign against Greeks and S1avs.
Made confident through the ability
to concentrate her forces against her
aggressive neighbors conferred by the
termination of the Tripolitan war,
Turkey today demanded from Athens
and the Balkans states an apology for
their ''insolent" notes. A time limit OF
"a hours has been allowed by the sui
tan for retraction. No desire, much
less hope, to avert general Balkan
war was entertained here when the ul-
tinatum was sent. 1t is not thought
possible the nations whose evident de-
sire was war will seek to avoid it now
by submitting to the portes demand.
Peace just in Time.
Constantinople, Oct. 16.-By wireless
telegraph to Kustendje Rumania-
The conclusion of peace between Italy
and Turkey was fully anticipated by
the Ottoman government, although the
news did not. reach here until o'clock
this morning and is still unknown to
the public generally. In the mean
time the ministry of marines was tax
ing active steps to prepare the Turk
ish fleet to take part in the campaign
against the balkan states. Three Oat-
tleships and two cruisers which had
been bottled up by Italian squadrons
have now been stationed at the mouth
of the Black sea in order to escort an
army of invasion to the Bulgarian
coast.
This movement of the Turkish forces
will compel the Bulgarian military
commanders to divert part of their
army from the main attack on Turkey
in Macedonia.
Notwithstanding the most elaborate
precautions taken by the Turkish
troops, Bulgarian bands have succeed
ed in destroying some important
bridges near Istip and Kotschana. so
that communication with Scutari is
completely interrupted and news from
the Montengerin frontier is very
meagre.
The Ottoman government has solved
the problem of the employment of
Christian soldiers in the Turkish army
by using them in the garrisons of
Asia minor and also partly in Constan-
tinople.

TAKE YOUR CHOICE
Says Kansas City Times Re-
garding Capper and Hodges.
''NO Progressive Candidate for
GOVERNOR Says B. Nj. Organ.

The Kansas City Times does not like
Arthur Capper's Osawatomie speech.
In that speech Capper declared that
ne opposed the organization of a
in the Republican party. The pub
.isher of the Times who IS national
committeeman for the Progressive
party in Missouri, is one o. the most
ardent of Roosevelt supporters. In a
first page editorial The Times declares
lhat there is no PROGRESSIVE nominee
for governor in Kanass and imp ar
TALLY urges Kansas voters to choose
between George H. Hodges, Demo-
cratic gubernatOriai nominee, and a
Progressive: and Arthur Capper, Re
publican nominee, and a Progressive.
IN view of the fact that Capper is an
avuwed supporter # Roosevelt, the
attitude of the Times on the Kansas
gubernatorial fight IS regarded as one
of the startling situations in very
sensational political campaign in
Kansas.
The Times has for several years
been friendly to Hodges. His work in
the Kansas senate was pointed to with
bride by the Nelson publication and
the Hodges fight for the initiative and
referendum and recall brought ap-
plause from the Kansas City paper. In
the gubernatorial fight of 1910, it was
rumored that the Times and Star,
published by w. r. Nelson, would
close the campaign with al open en-
dor sement of the Hodges candidacy.
Th1S prophecy, however, was not Iul-
t1lled and the Nelson papers made a
straight, open fight for the reelection
of Governor Stubbs.
This year the Star and Times have
been only lukewarm in their supp port
of CaDper's candidacy. He was more
often endorsed in generalities and rot
as an individual candidate who repre-
serted the Progressive policies. On
the other hand, the Nelson papers
have made a desperate and bitter
fight for Roosevelt in the nation and
for w. r. Stubbs Tor United States
senator in Kansas. Nelson, who is
naaional committee nan for Progress
sive party in Missouri. has made the
fight in his papers strictly along the
lines defined by the policies of the new
party. And now under the caption,

cedes that there is at least a question
as to the gubernatorial candidate best
equipped to execute the policies of

at greater ease than at any time since

ton and temperature nearer normal
than at any time since he was shot.
and so nearly at usual points that
concern over his condition vanished.
Their extremely conservative con-
duct gave way to a desire-to establish
public assurance that no complica-

the way of rapid recovery.

and went at once to his apartment,
