WIS.. Oct. 13*. Colonel Theodore Roosevelt was shot in the breast by John Schrank, of 370 East Tenth street, New York, as he entered the au tomobile in front of the Hotel Gilpatrick to start for the au ditorium where he was to speak last night. Colonel Roosevelt in sisted on going to the hall, there quieted the crowd that heard he had been shot, spoke from 8:20 until 9:45 o'clock, though appa rently weak, and then was taken to the emergency hospital. The physicians had an X-ray taken of the wound and declared it was superficial and that Colo nel Roosevelt was not seriously injured. The bullet was not re moved. At 12:60 Colonel Roosevelt, declaring that he was feeling fine, left for Chi ea<n tri hie private car. The colonel •aid he will remain In Chicago long •nwuirh to allow surgeons to remove the beaUet. and then leave to fill his cam paign engagement.". Here Is the Hole The Bullet Made. "I do not care a rap about being shot, not s rap.” said Colonel Roosevelt in hts speech upon arriving at the Audi torium to make his speech. "Friends." he began. "I shall have to a.ak you to be as quiet as possible. I don’t know whether vou fully under stand that I have just been shot, but It takes more than that to kill a Bull M oose ’But for'U’intely I had my manuscript (holding up manuscript showing where the bullet had gone through), so you see I wtts going to make a long speech And, friends, the hole in It Is where the bullet went through, and It probably saved the bullet from going into my heart. The buA-t is in me now. so that I can not make a very long speech. But I will try my best "And no a. friends. I want to take advantage of this incident to say hs solemn a word of warning as I know how to my fellow Americans. First of all. I want to say tills about myself; 1 have altogether too many Important things to think of to pay any heed or feel any concern over my own death. Now, I would not speak to you insin cerely within five minutes of being shot. I am telling you the literal truth when I ’ay my concern is for many other things it is not in the least for my own life. "1 want you to understand that 1 am ahead of the game, anyway No man has had a happier life than I have had -a happy life in every way I have been able to do certain things that I greatly wished to do and 1 am interest ed in doing other things. I can tell you with absolute truthfulness that I am very much uninterested In whether I am shot or not. It was just as when 1 was colonel of my regiment. 1 always felt that a private was to be excused for feeling at times some pangs of anxiety owing to his personal safety, but 1 can not understand a man fit to be colonel who can pay any heed to his persona! safety when he I* occupied, as he ought to be occupied, with the ab sorbing desire to do hie duty "I am saying this byway of intro duction. because 1 want to say some thing very serious to our people and especially to the newspapers. 1 don't SCURF CAME Oil BABY'S HL All »■— II ■ Broke Out in Pimples.

"I have something to tell you.” said Mr. Cochems, "and I hope you will re ceive the news with calmness." His voice shook as he spoke and a deathlike stillness settled over the throng. "Colonel Roosevelt has been shot. He is wounded.” He spoke in a low tone, but such was the stillness that every one heard him. A cry of aston ishment and horror went up from the crowd, which was thrown into confu sion in an instant. Mr. Cochems turned and looked inquhingly at (’olonel Roosevelt. "Tell us. are you hurt ."

Oct. 15.—John Schrank, who tried to kill Colonel ■ Roosevelt, today pleaded guilty to a charge of assault with intent to kill. < "I am guilty as charged. That is all I ; have to say,” was his answer when ■ Judge N. B. Neleen, In police court, . asked him to plead. The plea in police court amounted to a plea on arraignment. The court is without power to sentence to the pent- ; tentiary. Accordingly plans were made to transfer Schrank hastily to a guard ed chamber in the municipal court, where he will be asked to enter his ple.i again. If he does so. he will be given the maximum sentence of fifteen years’ imprisonment. It is expected that he will begin serving his term in the state i prison at Waupun befo e nightfall. Crowd Orderly, Attempts No Violence. Schrank walked into the court und°r heavy guard. His passage from the cell to the court through the crowded streets was accomplished without in cident. Although throngs of curious people watched, there was no attempt at violence. The would-be assassin took his stand before the police court bench with un ruffled demeanor. As the charge against him was read Schrank listened gravely. He displayed no sign of emotion, even when the clerk emphasized the words "with in tent to murder.” Waupun is 60 miles from Milwaukee. The sheriff is raid to have picked his men to accompany Schrank. He wil ! probably make the trip in an automo bile. The state prison officials have been notified to be prepared to receive Schrank. Sehrank stared at a group of news paper men who stood outside the door of his cell at the police station hei'e this morning and asserted that his life had been wasted because Roosevelt will live. "Suicide?" he said, with a note of wonder in his voice. "I never thought of it. I did not expect to survive Theo dore Roosevelt more than ten minutes. I 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 1 had put a bullet in the heart of the man who is seeking a third term as president. "They tel! me I have failed. Well, I suppose my life is wasted. I shall .never have another opportunity. I have -tone my best. More than that no man can do. Some men must be failures. If I am chosen to be one of them, what can I do about it?" This morning Schrank spoke more coherently than he did last night just after the shooting. He slept during part of the night, though his guards awakened him frequently' to ask ques tions. His answers were at times in coherent. Long Ago Planned To Slay Roosevelt. Today he reiterated his statement that he had long ago determined to kill , Roosevelt. "From the time of the Republican onvention in Chicago,” he said. "I knew that I must kill Roosevelt. This is not a personal affair with me. I I have acted for America.” Then Schrank repeated his assertions of the night before, that he was led to conclude that the death of Roosevelt was necessary to avoid civil war. John Schrank made a new confes sion to the police today. He declared | that it had been his intention to keep j shooting at the ex-president until ab solutely certain that he was dead, but that the crowd frustrated him. The police are convinced that Schrahk is a maniac. They are mak 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 about the country. in appealanee Schrank is short, stout and shabbily dressed.

In his confession Schrank said i he expected to be tom limb from ’ t , after killing Roosevelt. “I did not think of escape aftet ward,” he said. "I did not think t a s was a chance in the wot Id. I expecte : that I would be torn to pieces before i would have time to fire at myself, eve. if I had planned suicide. "My intention was to shoot repeat* at Roosevelt until I knew he was . and by that time it would hav, b, too late for me to do anything to m.. self or for myself. "Suicide—that is a coward's <ic a t , Now I am ready to die.” Sphrank said he fired the shot be cause he was convinced that Ro .s. . velt was trying to be the first Ameri. king. "7 he trouble with this country s ' h, said, "that too few people are on tl* square. There are probably lOO.ihhi peop’e who know it is their dun t*. keep this blatherskite from becoming king. The third term is the first step in this ambition.’ “I Wish I Had Been Successful.” "All good Americans know that n» must have no kings here. There are thousands who would have been glad if I had succeeded. They would have rejoiced in secret. "I wish I had been successful If I were given another chance this after noon I would take better aim and kill this man. He is the most dangerous man in the world today.” Schrank w'as asked if he felt no re gret. "I regret that I did not kill him he replied. "That is what I feel. It was the greatest failure of many failures of my life.” Sehrank made incoherent remark’ about another completing his task. He was asked if he meant that there was an accomplice who would try to shoot the colonel. “I did not say there was an accom pl‘?e, except that all men who know what this country w-ants and what Roosevelt wants are my accomplices I mean there are many men who know what this one man’s ambitions are. They will see to it that he never real izes them.” Schrank protested that he had not been actuated by personal motives In his attack upon Colonel Roosevelt. H" said that his hatred of the ex-president dated back to the time when he was police commissioner of New York city and compelled millions to obey the Sunday closing law. The proclamations addressed to the people of the United States were found in Schrank's pockets. In them h claimed to have been inspired to kih Colonel Roosevelt by visions. Once he wrote he saw in a dream President Mc- Kinley pointing to a figure as his mm derer, and the figure was Colon? Roosevelt. Obtain New Life.
