,® SIN PROBED
Schrank Pleads Guilty to At
tempted Murder Charge, But
Prosecutor Asks Inquiry.
MILWAI’KEE, WIS.. Nov. 12.—John
< , n k. who attempted the assassina
t;,En of Theodore Roosevelt on the night
oi October 14, today pleaded guilty to a
. h . ireP of attempted murder.
T: ,• hearing was held before Judge
Baeus. The judge refused to accept
, ' plea before he heard a report on
•he man's sanity. Court was adjourn
al until the afternoon, in order that
1 tin- examination might be made.
That tlie trial would be a mere for
lit'. save for the appointment of a
Commission to test Schrank’s sanity,
v; < 'he statement of District Attorney
Zabel before the hearing opened.
I am convinced that Schrank is a
naraiioiac.” said Zabel. "In my talks
with him the evident self-satisfaction
with which his deeds and the complai
sance with which he regards his ulti
mate fate leaves no doubt in my mind
i as to his lack of sanity.”
Didn't Wish To Kill.
The proceedings in court were per
functory. They lasted about ten min
utes. Schrank was led before Jt\dge
Backus and the charge was read to
him. He was asked to stand up.
■ John Schrank,” said the judge, “you
ar? charged with assault with intent to
kill Theodore Roosevelt. Are you gull
tv or not guilty?”
I wish to plead guilty," the prisoner
replied. Tn explanation, I wish to say
that I did not mean to kill Mr. Roose
velt, but merely to wound him. I shot
him as a warning that two terms of
president of the United States were
enough. I was not trying to hurt the
undidate of a third party for president,
as I believe a third party has a right to
enter the field. I shot to warn Citi
zen Roosevelt that two terms as presl
il. nt were enough, and to force him to
desist from his attempt to sjize an
honor never before granted an Ameri
can citizen. That is all, your henor.”
< in ; spoke as a man whiT* had
carefully written out what he had to
say and memorized it.
District. Attorney Zabel rose, after
Schrank had concluded.
State Asks Inquiry.
•Your honor,” he said, “the district
attorney believes this man to be a par
anoiac, and would not be a party to
sending a man needing mental treat
ment to the state prison. I therefore
would submit that the state wishes to
appoint a commission of medical ex
perts to decide the matter of the de
fendant’s sanity before proceeding fur
ther. 1 therefore ask fpr an adjoum
. inent.”
The court announced that It would
lids afternoon name a committee of
live alienists to examine Schrank. It is
expected the examination will last for
two days.
Schrank was the least interested man
in the court room as the hearing be
z.ii. He was carefully dressed. He
was heavily guarded as he was taken
i to the court room, for fear a demon
stration might be made against him.
\ crowd of curious persons gathered
at the court. Hundreds tried to force
their way into the room, but were re
strained by deputies.

TYPHLITE 15 NEW
FAD OF PARISIANS
Malady Seems To Be Merely
Appendicitis in New, High-
Sounding Dress.
PARIS, Nov. 12, —Paris will have its
fashion, whether it be in frocks, frills
or fancies. Its latest craze is a new
malady named Typhlite. This ailment
is not really of modern invention, for it
was known to our forefathers. It hid
its vogue, it appears, in the early Na
poleonic period, but - was lost sight of
until recently. Meantime, appendicitis
has held sway, and no properly regu
lated home has been without it. To
have arrived at middle age minus an
Inflammation of the appendix is, In
these days, to be beyond the pale of
“swaggerdom.” But now a new mala
dy a la mode has made its reappear
ane, and if you have not had typhlite—
well, it is far better to say you have.
Sounds smart, you know.
As to what this new ailment exactly
is, a recent discussion thereon by the
eminent sawbones Doyen, Labbe, Cour
tellemont, Guelpa and others gave the
information that its treatment Is prac
tically the same that would be em
ployed for the new dethroned king ap
pendicitis. Perhaps Docteur Cade’s
opinion—that "the distinction ’fcs be
tween appendicitis and typhlite is more
or less theoretic"—about sums up the
situation. It would seem that typhlite
is but the old wolf in more modeiyi ap
parel.
COMMISSION FORM’S
DEFEAT FORECAST IN
SAVANNAH ELECTION
SAVANNAH, GA., Nov. 12.—Early
indications point to the defeat of the
commission form of government for Sa
vannah. The political element is align
ed solidly against it. A considerable
vote Is being polled.
Mayor George Tiedeman, who em
braced commission government In his
last campaign for re-election, and who
ran on a promise to give the people an
opportunity to vote on the subject, is
out in a card denouncing the proposed
bill as unsuitable. Both sides are claim
ing a victory.
There is as much activity at the polls
as there was at the general election, a
week ago. Many of the best people fa
vor the change, but they are apparently
not in sufficient number to carry their
point. Advocates of the measure claim
that the afternoon vote will be in their
favor.

Intense. Pain and Burning. Cuti

Morrison, Tenn.— "For one year I suf
fered from a very severe attack of acne
or pimples, accompanied by eczema. It
showed itself by the
formation of small red,

*"* 'L were not only disfiguring to

They also appeared on my
neck and chest. Their itch
r | * nf? was often so intense as

very often caused pain and
burning. I tried several so called ’sure
cure' remedies, but they did little or no
good. Several months ago I heard of Cutl
cura Soap and Ointment and wrote for a
sample.
”1 found them so soothing that I at
once purchased a twenty-five cent cake of
Cuticura Soap, and a fifty cent box of
Cuticura Ointment. I used the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment as follows: First open
some of the pimples, bathe with warm
water and Cuticura Soap, dry and smear
lightly with Cuticura Ointment. Let this
remain on for about five or ten minutes,
then wash off with hot water and Cuticura
Soap. After using them for about a month,
all of the Itching and the pimples had en
tirely disappeared.’’ (Signed! John Finger.
