Would-be assassin, Colonel Roosevelt
Monday refused to submit to an ex-

hotel, where the shooting took place,
to the auditorium, where he made his
scheduled speech. It was noticed that
his coat was kept tightly buttoned
around him and that he grew per-
ceptibly weaker as his speech pro-
gressed. At it's close he was hurried
to the Emergency hospital, where six
surgeons made Intellectual efforts to
locate the bullet, which entered his
breast below the right nipple.

The man w no did the 81 1ing h8S
been identified as John Schrenk,
whose last residence of record was
$40 East Tenth street, New York City
He is an undersized German, un-
doubtedly mentally unbalanced.
The shooting took place just as
Colonel Roosevelt was emerging from
the Gilpatrick hotel, where he had
been resting, following his trip from
Chicago and several conferences with
the leaders of the bull moose cause
there. AS he came down the steps sur

schrank, who was in the front of the
crowd, pushed close to Roosevelt and
fired point blank at his breast at close
range The colonel staggered trifle,
but Immediately Strengthened up.
Henry F. Cochems, former famous
football star and now chairman of the
speakers bureau of the progressive
party, sprang upon Schrenk. who was
attempting to slip back into the crowd,
and crushed him to the pavement. In
stantiy 10000 people around the ho-
tel demanded that the colonel's assail-
ant be lynched. Tremendous uproar
resulted.
Police Reserves.
Police reserves dashed through tho
crowd and dragged Schrenk out OF
danger. The patrol wagon bearing
him to the station was followed by
thousands, intent upon lynching the
man, and the Jail was surrounded by
angry mobs. If the colonel should
die, there is every possibility Schrenk
will be lynched, although extraordi-
nary precautions are being taken to
protect him Latest advices from the
hospital announce that the limited ex-
animation leads to the belief that
the shot did not pierce the colonel's
lung, but he is bleeding profusely.
A thick roll of manuscript, from
which he was to speak, crowded in
the right inside pocket of his coat, is
all that saved him from instant death.
The bullet spent its force in this bulky
paper, otherwise it would have passed
entirely through the body.
Long Been Obsessed.
Examination of the effects OF
Schrenk show that he has long been
obsessed with the divine" mission to
slay Roosevelt. In his rambling talk
he says he had a commission from the
late President Mckinley to slay Roose-
welt if he attempted to secure a third
term. He explains his act by saying
he was called upon to avenge Mckin-
ley, upon whose assassination Roose-
velt mounted to power. Schrenk, in
his talk, says it is the duty of all citi-
zens who love the republic to kill
third term aspirants, as their success
would mean an eventual monarchy.
His papers contain many inflamma-
tory articles against the constituted
authorities, excerpts from rab1d
speeches by anarchists and socialists
against prominent men. There also
are clippings relating to assasslna-
tions of rulers.
A written proclamation found in the
clothing of the man who did the shoot
ing reads:
Sept. Is, 1912, 1:30.-In dream I
saw President Mckinley sit up in
monks attire, in whom l recognized
Theodore Roosevelt. The president
said: This is my murderer, avenge

early in 1912, he said:
Il believe the democratic party has
lost national elections through the
strength rather than the weakness OF
its platforms. 1t has had too many
planks in its platforms. England has
never tried to settle two great Ques-
tions at one time. The democratic
platforms usually call for the settle
ment of several. which divides our nat
ural strength, and some OF the many
planks always drive away voters who
would naturally support the ticket

form which stands for revenue tariff,
economy in appropriations and a not

be treated again as the creature and

STOCK MARKET REVIEW
Stocks Show Strength in a Dull
Political Month.

Mixed politics and stocks held the
sway yesterday in the stock market
The opening prices exhibited dulness anc
insignificant changes. Everybody on the
floor seemed to take it for granted that
the market would show no spirit or ten
denCy toward a revival, so the two op-
posing interests calmly waited and
looked for whatever might happen. In
terborough metropolitan shares gave no
tice Of strength, and some interest was
centred in them as n local traction and
not subject to the caprices OF political
influences and later in an announcement
that per cent had been declared by The
Interborough Rapid Transit Company,
Toward the end Of the first hour OF the
morning session there developed an ad-
vancing movement led by Lehigh Val
! ley; a semi-annual dividend announce
ment of per cent seemed to be the
stimulant which started the move.
| United States Rubber showed a strong
| tendency, due to the argument that th9
stock is cheap around its present selling
price. The specialties, such as Mexican
| Petroleum, Bethlehem Steel and the Sea
beard issues, were favOrites on the bull
! side. Reading was up in the bidding
and seemed inclined to higher level
After this primary exhibition of
strength the market in the second hour
relapsed into an inactive state, and many
traders deserted the ranks with the firm
belief that nothing would happen IN d
market sense during the remainder OF
| the day. Rumors Of politics then took
the attention Of remaining traders, one
Of which was TO the effect that Johr
Wanamaker would be selected as COM
promise candidate.
In the afternoon, while the market was
extremely dull, prices seemed to present
q strong backing, and the bears did rot
| evince any keen desire 20 attempt q
raid. Political interest appeared TO be
waning. and rumors directly affecting the
market were circulated with greater
freedom. The absence Of customer:
from brokerage houses left the market
in q purely professional attitude, and
such sentiment as could be mustered
was Of a bullsh character. Among the
stocks that came from resting places
were Canadian Pacific and Great North
ern, both Of which gained favor by rea.
son Of excellent crop predictions in the
Northwest. The market showed no re-
Operative disposition which could he
taken as a sign Of action. and the clos.
ing left the position Of stocks where
they might respond to developments in
either direction. The showing Of strength
was as much from lack Of selling press
ure as it was due to buying support
neither of which could be definitely
placed.
! The news from London did not sug-
| gest any stimulant for better prices,
London consols made a new low record,
and the failure of the Canadian North
ern bond issue cast a dependency over
| investment issues.
