in Milwaukee, is insane and was late
t i.is afternoon committed by Municipal
Judge Backus to the Northern Hospital
' for the Insane, near Oshkosh. until
cured. Judge Backus' ruling said: .
"The court now finds that the de-
fondant John Schrank, Is Insane and
therefore. Incapacitated to act for him
self. It is. therefore, ordered and ad
judged that the defendant. John

)i-hen he shall be returned to this court
for further proceedings according to
law.
"And it is further ordered 'that all
proceedings in this case be saved in
definitely until such recovery."
Prisoner Prepared for Outcome.
Before being led back to jail to await
preparations for the trip to the asylum,
Srhrank said:
"I had expected that they would find
mo insane, because it was in the papers
two days ago. I want to say now that
I .".in sane and know what I am doing
&:t the time. I am not a lunatic and
n- ver was one. I was called upon to do
i a rt'ity and have done it.
i "The commission has sworn away my
I Kach member went on the stand

i Ti.cy can bury me alive if they see fit.
I I don't care what happens now."
CommiMlon Is Vnanlnrou. m
, Committment was pronounced after
' tl.o presentation of an exhaustive re-
port of the commission, in which the
) ipft-iuiant was unanimously adjudged
(insane. It declared that his delusions
were "grandiose in character and of a
' ?vsiematic variety." and included nu
I merous communications written by
fS An address by Schrank to the com
missioners in which he apologized for
causing unpleasantness In making them
decide a. matter "which would have
been better tried by a higher court
than earthly court." was included in
tin r.nnrf In It fiphrank reviewed
the "vision." in which he claimed to
have looked Into the dying eyes of
President McKlnley. "when a voice
called to me to avenge his death. I
was confident that my life was coming
soon to an end and I was at once happy
to know that my real mission on this
earth was to die for my cquhtry and
the cause of republicanism."
niow Aimed Solely at Third Term.
. "The shot at Milwaukee, which
caused an echo In all parts of aAe
world, was not a shot fired at the
Citizen Roosevelt, not a shot at an ex
President, not a shot at the candidate
of a so-called Progressive party, not
a shot to influence the pending elec
tion, not a shot to gain for me noto
riety; no. it was simply to once and
forever establish the fact that any man
who hereafter aspires to a third Pres
idential term will do so at the risk
of his life. If I cannot defend tradi
tion I cannot defend the country in
case of war, so you may as well send
every patriot to prison.
"I have been accused of selecting
state where capital punishment is
abolished. I would say I did not know
the laws of any state I traveled throu
and it would be ridiculous for me to
fear death after the act, as I expected
to die during the act and not live to
tell the story. If I knew that my
death would have made the third term
tradition more . sacred, I am sorry
could not die for my country.
Malady la Chronic Paraaola.
"Prison for me is like going to war.
Before me is the spirit of George Wash
ington, behind that of McKlnley."
District Attorney Zabel submitted
several questions bearing upon medical
terms to each of the alienists, all of
which brought form similar answers,
the substance of which was that Shrank
was suffering from chronic paranoia,
and all of the physicians agreed that it
was doubtful if t-e disease could be
cured.
Failure in effecting a cure or
Schrank's mental disorder means that
he will spend the rest of his life in the
asylum. .

Senator Kayner Vnchanjcd.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 22. The condi
tion of Senator Rayner. of Maryland,
who is critically ill here from a com
plication of diseases, remained un
changed tonight.
ROCHESTER. N. Y, Nov. 22. The
American Federation of Labor decided
today to ask the unions affiliated with
it to raise money for the defense of
the allegeKdynamiters who are on trial
at Indianapolis.
The resolution adopted by the con
vention was "that delegates to the con
vention on their return advise their in
ternational unions and local bodies to
provide financial assistance for the
trade unionists on trial in Indianapolis
to aid them in securing a fair trial and
In appealing the cases should a fair
trial be denied them."
The resolution also urged that the
men on trial be not convicted In ad
vance or the decision In their cases be
influenced "by the alleged fact that
certain corporations and a. private de
tective agency are clamoring for a con
viction." Steamfltters' Charter Revoked.
It was decided by a vote of 15,761 to
1322 to revoke the charter of the Inter
national Association of Steam and Hot
Water Fitters and Helpers.
The convention also refused to take
any action in tne oispute between
factions of the International Brother
hood of Electrical Workers and reaf
firmed Its decision that only the faction
affiliated with the Federation is legal.
Other resolutions adopted favor the
Initiative, referendum and recall, in
cluding tlie recall of judges; popular
election of United States Senators,
worklngmen s compensation with the
retention of employers liability, old
age pensions, and the repeal or amend
ment of the Sherman anti-trust law to
prevent the prosecution of labor unions
under Its provisions.
McNamara Fond Not Available.
Andrew J. Gallagher, representative
of a branch of the California State
Federation of Labor, raised the ques
tion of Federation aia to the men on
trial in Indianapolis. He offered an
amendment to the report of the com-
ittee on the presidents report pro
viding that the balance In the Mc
Namara defense fund be devoted to
the defense of the Indianapolis defend
ants. His amendment was rejected by
the chair on a point of .order that the
money in question is in the custody of
the McNamara defense committee and
therefore not at the disposal of the
Federation.
The report of the committee on presi
dent's report was adopted and directly
afterward James B. Conroy. of the In
ternational Brotherhood of Foundry
Employes, presented the motion urging
international and local labor bodies to
give financial assistance to the ac
cused men. The motion was adopted
without a dissenting vote.
Federation's Attitude Defined.
The president's report committee
defined the attitude of the Federation
in the so-called "dynamiting cases,
including the McNamara cases, in these
words:
"The American labor movement as
represented in the American Federa
tion of Labor win neither countenance
nor condone anyone, who. under the
cloak of trade unionism, undertakes t
rarrv on a criminal warfare on society
That some of these' men are guilty of
carrying on such a warfare, appears
from the confessions they have mad
relative to their connection with thes
crimes. That every man must be con
sidered Innocent until he has been
proved guilty has always been ac
cepted as a fundamental principle of
our Jurisprudence and In the recon
sideration of his case before the courts
he is entitled to a fair and Impartial
trial."
The convention will elect officers at
3 o'clock tomorrow. Max S. Hayes, o
Cleveland, a member of the Interna
tional Typographical Union, is to be
the opposition's candidate for Presi
dent Gompers" Job. William H. Johns
tone, of Providence, president of the
International Association of Machinists,
is to oppose Third Vice-President

chinists' union.

Cash Register Witness Spends
Second Day on Stand.
WAR ON RIVALS INTENSE
'Knocker Cards" Introduced In EtI
dence Agents Said to Have Been
Directed to Place Xa tional Ma
chines by Any . Means.
CINCINNATI, Nov. 22. That the trial
of John H. Patterson, the president,
and 29 other officials or former off!
cials of the National Cash Register
Company of Dayton, O., who are
charged in the United States District
Court here with violating the criminal
section of the Snerman anti-trust act,
will be a long drawn out affair, was
foreshadowed today when the exam
nation of the first witnesses started
yesterday, failed to end before cour
adjourned today.
Henry D. James, an automobile deal
er of Detroit, was on the stand all
day and will continue his testimony
Monday morning.
"Knocker Cards') la Evidence.
In the course of James' tertlmony,
knocker cards," or cards which were
sent to agents of the compans. to be
filled out whenever a rival machine
was "wiped out" of the agent's terrl
tory were put in evidence over an ob
jection by the defense, as were also
National Cash Register magazines.
In one of the magazines the prose
cution read an article saying that 15
would be taken from the sale of each
National machine "In order to main
tain a competition department."
Patent Right Fund 9200,000.
Reading from this same magazine
Attorney Wilson, for the defense, read
a statement that the National company
paid $200,000 to protect its patent
rights.
James testified he was transferred to
St. Louis in 1893 and in 1S9S was sent
to Detroit. In 1905 he was made dls
trlct manager at Detroit. He testified
that it was his duty to place National
machines by any means rather than
allow the opposition to enter the terri
tory. Whenever he heard of a new ma
chine coming into the field, he said, all
he had to do was to call for the "knock
out men."
STREETS NOT FOR RIOTS
Salem Prosecutor Defines Limit on
Freedom. '
SALEM, Mass., Nov. 21. More delay
In bringing -to an end the trial of Ettor,
Glovannitti and Caruso for the Lopizzo
murder In the Lawrence textile strike
seemed certain when court adjourned
tonight with District Attorney Attwill's
closing argument not completed.
That the case will not reach the Jury
until tomorrow night was assured,
while It Is even possible that Judge
Qulnn.wlll not charge the Jury until
Monday.
In his argument today the District
Attorney dwelt chiefly on Caruso's con
nection with thte case. ' He attacked
the defendant's alibi and reviewed the
testimony . of the commonwealth's
witnesses who said that Caruso parti
cipated in the riot. Speaking of illegal
assembly the District Attorney declared
that the highways could not be used
by one set in a community to carry
on a warfare against another set.
The evidence, argued the prosecutor,
showed that on the night of the kill
lng a crowd of men acting concertedl
went from Common street to Union an
Garden streets, "bent upon an unlaw
ful purpose.
"If we. have proved," he said, "that
the defendant Caruso was In that crow
and you are satisfied that he was there,
he is as guilty as the man who pulled
the trigger of the revolver. In thi
-case all we have to do to establish
the murder is to show that one mem
ber of the crowd discharged the pistol
which killed Anna Lopizzo.
BANTZ QUITS TREASURY
ASSISTANT NOT IS SYMPATHY
WITH MACVEAGH'S IDEAS.

Pearce Is Appointed.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 22. Gideon C.
Bantz, connected with the Treasury
Department for '40 years, resigned as
assistant treasurer of the United
States today at the request of Sec
retary MacVeagh. He will be succeeded
tomorrow by Christian S. Pearce, chief
In the division of banks, loans and
postal savings.
Secretary MacVeagh said, the change
was made because Mr. Bantz was not
in sympathy with his administrative
policies.
Mr. Bantz, It was announced, will re
celve an offer of some other position
of responsibility In the Treasury De
partment.
News of the resignation became
public almost simultaneously with the
swearing In of Carml A. Thompson as
Treasurer to succeed Lee McClung, an
nouncement of whose retirement a few
days ago, gave rise to rumors that the
Secretary and Treasurer were out of
sympathy.
All reports of a further upheaval in
the Treasurer's office were set at rest
by Secretary MacVeagh with the state
ment that he contemplated no mora
changes.
Secretarv Macveaeh said todav that
he nad instituted methods for the Im
provement of the office of Treasurer.
I intend placing men In charge,'
said the Secretary, "who are in sympa
thy with my policy, so that there will
be no likelihood of a reaction to the
old methods -when I leave office, com
pelling my successor as Secretary of
the Treasury to spend his term of of
flee going over the ground I have covered."

Metal Plates
"THIS ONE THING I DO,"
Although rubber or vulcanite
plates are the most common, they
are by no means the best.
Many people that are wearing rub
ber plates, and getting little or no
satisfaction, lay their troubles to
their mouth, and not the plate.
That Is not so. Rubber is a vege
table compound, and contains a poi
sonous coloring matter. This does
not affect some mouths, while It ab
solutely ruins others. Plates made
of aluminum metal always give
complete satisfaction, as they are
pure, clean, smooth, light and last
a lifetime. Being a mineral com
pound, they have no harmful effect
upon the tissues of the mouth. We
make both s wedged and ciist
aluminum plates in our office. We
also repair all kinds of old plates.
Send for free booklet on artificial
teeth.
