MILWAUKEE, Wis., Oct.14 Colo
nel Theodore Roosevelt was shot and
wounded tonight by John Schrenk, of
New York, as he was leaving the Gil
patrick hotel; for the Coliseum to
making a speech.
The wound was though to be super
ficial at first, and the colonel went
on to the hall and began' his speech,
after he had seen the assassin arrest-

ed and taken to the police station.
Later it was found that the wound
was more serious than was at first
supposed. A manuscript in the Colo
nel's pocket saved his life. The first I
x-ray examination showed that the I
bullet lodged in the right chest wall j
and did not penetrate the lungs. ;
Henry F. Cochems seized, the as-;
sassin and held him until policemen ;
came up. A mob surged around the
man, who apparently was a radical
on the subject of RooEevelt's running
for another-term for President.
The assassin, who is of 5 mall stat
ure, admitted firing the shot and said '
that "any man looking for a third
term ought to be shot."
In notes found in the man's pockets
at the police stafftn were statements
that the man had been visited in a
dream by the spirit of William McKin-;
ley, who had said, indicating Roose-:
velt. "This is my murderer; avenge
my death."
The Colonel felt no pain at the
time the shot was fired and was not
aware that he was shot until he was
on hisl way to the auditorium. His
attention was then called to the hole
in his overcoat and he said he was
not badly hurt. A superficial examin
ation of the wound was made when
he reached the auditorium, and three ;

physician agreed that he was ln no
immediate danger. j
Colonel Roosevelt's life was prob-'
ably saved by a manuscript of his
speech which he made tonight. The
bullet struck the manuscript, which
retarded its force as it passed through
into the flesh. '

firing a second shot by Albert H. Mar- j

Martin, who was standing in the car
with the Colonel, leaped to the man's
shoulders and bore him to the ground.
Captain A. O. Girard, of Milwaukee,
who was on the front seat, jumped
almost at' the same time, and in an
instant the man was overpowered and
disarmed.
A wild cry of "lynch him" went up
from: the crowd. Colonel Roosevelt
spoke to the people and told them to
spare the would-be assassin.
The man was taken into the hotel,
and held there until he was removed
to the police station.
In spite of the entreaties of physi
cians, Colonel Roosevelt insisted upon
delivering his address.
"I will make this speech or die, one
or the other."
Harry F. Cochems, one of the Wis
consin Progressive leaders told the
great crowd which had assembled in
the auditorium that Colonel Roosevelt
had been shot, and asked the people
to be calm. The crowd was thrown
almost into a panic by the announce
ment, but Colonel Roo;evelt calmed
them by arising and assuring them
that he was not badly hurt. Then he
began his address. Several times he
seemed to be growing weak, and mem
bers of his party rose to help him. He
motioned them to sit down.
"Let me alone. I'm all right," he
said.
At 10:30 o'clock Colonel Roosevelt
was sitting on the operating table
talking politics with the physicians
while they were awaiting the arrival
of an x-ray machine.
Colonel Roosevelt left the hospital
at 11:25 p. m. He was able to walk
unassisted. "I am feeling fine," he
said.
The shooting took place in the
street in front of the hotel Gilpatrick.
Colonel Roosevelt reached Milwau

for the locals. His record for the day
was four kicked goals and two touch

a brilliant 75-yard dash when he re-

running interference was perfect and

NEW! YORK, Oct. 14. Driven to
bay the Giants led a last rushing, des
perate assault against the Red Sox
machine today and tore it apart with
in one round. Marquard pitched his
pals to a romping, Cakewalk victory
by the count of 5 to 2. The Rube,
as in nis first start, broke the Boston
attack at every turn and after one
rickety round the second stopped
Stahl's slashing sluggers with a thug.
Tonight the Giants move back to
Boston for another game stand, where
Jeff Tesreau and Joe Wood hook up
for their third clash.
The first round today settled the
battle Stahl stuck in O'Brien and
the Giants were ready. Knowing they
bad their backs against the wali
they rushed the Red Sox spitballist
with such savage ferocity that he was
on the ropes in a twinkling when he
was slammed for six hits before Stahl
could gel another pitcher warmed up
and into the fray.
Collins followed O'Brien in the sec
ond round, rolling back the Giant's
rushes by. wonderful pitching sure
and effective, but this brilliant work
went to seed. For' working on that
five ruu lead, the Rube, after one
short lapse through over confidence
settled to his task and breezed in
under wraps. From the second
round on he never was in trouble and
sharp, sure support by his mates did
the rest.
That first assault on O'Brien was a
classic. Doyle led with a hit and a
steal. Then, with, two out, Murray
singled; Merkle doubled; Herzog
doubled; Meyers singled and Fletcher
dumped a bunt which squeezed the
Indian over with the fifth run. But
this was not all, for, in the middle of
that wild melee and medley, O'Brien
balked Doyle home with the first run,
and Meyers and Herzog flashed a
double steal.
In the second round Marquard er
red on Gardner's tap, Stahl singled,
and Engle's double linked to Devore's
boot cost two runs. But from that per
iod on, the two southpaws worked in
matchlessiess fashion and the scor
ing closed abruptly
The game was the last one to be
fought, in New York. Tomorrow's
game goes to Boston and when the
flip was made for the deciding battle

BY JANUARY
STREET IMPROVEMENT ATTACKED
Councilmen Declare That Amount of
Gravel Called for was not Used
Bills May Be
Cut
The City Council at a meeting Mon
day morning awarded the - contract
for installing an electric fire alarm
system to the Gamewell Company, of
Portland. The work will cost in the
neighborhood of $2,000, and will be
started at once. It is probable that the
bell tower, which, will be fifty feet
1 high, will be near the top of the Sev
enth street steps. A . representative
of the company announced that the
system would be in operation before
the first of next year. Fire boxes will
be located throughout the city.
At a meeting last night the council
discussed a bill of the Oregon Engi
neering & Construction Company for
work on John Quincy Adams, Jackson
and Fifteen streets. Part of the
work was sublet to Alphin & Wilson,
and it is contended that the specifi
cations were not observed throughout.
One contention is that the cement
gravel laid does not contain the prop
er amount of gravel. While a final
decision was nol) reached, members
of the council expressed themselves
as being in favor of subtracting about
$2,500 from the bill. One payment
has been made. It is probable that
an expert will be employed to make
an examination of the work.
IN AUTOMOBILE DIVE
M. A. Gunderson, of the H. S. Gile
wholesale grocery firm of Salem, Or.,
was painfully injured and Martin
Winch, a wealthy Portland capitalist,
living at 241 Seventh street, escaped
uninjured Sunday night, when Mr.
Winch's automobile, in which they
wer riding, ran over a bank in. a turn
at the west end of the suspension
bridge. In its fall the machine turn
ed over twice, and while Winch kept
his seat Gunderson was caught by the
car and sustained a broken eolar bone.
Mr. Winch says the automobile was
going about ten miles an hour, and
Mr. Gunderson was sitting beside him
As they approched the curve the
steering gear, which Mr. Winch thinks
was a trifle stiff, failed to. turn the
machine, and it struck upon a board
which formed part of the edge sup
port of the sandy road. As the, car
struck it skidded along the board and
tipped over the edge, going down sev
er? 1 feet before it came to a stop.
Mr. Winch stayed with the machine
as it fell, sitting in the steering seat.
The car turned a double sumersault
and alighted right side up at the bot
tom of the declivity. The glass wond
shield was broken but none of the
glass fell on Mr. Winch. Mr. Gunder
son was thrown out by the whirling
machine, and said that he believed
after the fall the machine rested on
him five minutes, although it was im
mediately removed.
"It is one of those things that you
never know how it happened, and it
was over in a minute, so I don't know
exactly how it happened," said Mr.
Winch.
