WANTS SUPERVISION OP CRANKS Professor Arthur MacDonald, Noted Criminologist, Hopes Attack on Roosevelt Will Stir Congress Washington, Oct.

15 (Special) Professor Arthur MacDonald, ths noted criminologist who has for years advocated the enactment of a law which will provide a special Federal bureau for the study of cranks, said. to the correspondent of the Transcript today: Schrank, the would-be assassin of Colonel Roosevelt, from the general conditions surrounding bis act and thd writings found upon hls person by the police, furnishes an exact parallel several others of the assassin type 'In the recent history of this country. Schrank Is the same sort of a man as Guiteau, who killed President Garfield, and the assassin of the late Carter Harrison, mayor of Chicago. To his class belong hundreds of persons suffering from mild dementia who should be under the close and scientific observation of police aurgeona I believe that this last example of murderous dementia will prove a benefit in that It caUs more forcibly to the attention of Congress the necessity for Federal supervision of cranks. W.

E. B. ROOSEVELT LEADER SHOT to make a chemical teat of bullets remaining In tbe would-be slayers revolver. Judge Neelen announced that this action waa taken to determine Immediately If the bullet which entered Colonel Roosevelt'a body had been poisoned. The judge aaid that hla action waa prompted by memories of the bullet which killed President McKinley -and also by a.

personal desire to givo the surgeons at Chicago every possible aid in treating Colonel Roosevelt's wound. Schranks arraignment caused little excitement at the City Hall, where Judge Neelens courtroom Is located. Schrank, between two detectives who towered a foot above hls head, was brought one. side of Judge Neelen's bench. District Attorney Zabel read the formal charge, of attempted murder, based on a warrant which he had caused to be Issued this -morning.

In reply to a question Schrank said he had no counsel. The district attorney asked Do you want this esse tried In. a hurry. Schrank? Tm, sir, said Schrank. All right, remarked Judge Neelen, I think this disposes of the matter so far as we can this morning.

I will fix ball at 7600i the maximum under the charge upon- which the prisoner, has arraigned. Ae soon as Schrank was taken from the courtroom Judge Neelen called "District Attorney Zabel and Peter Paulus, city jailor, to tbe bar. "Who has the revolver and the remaining cartridges? aaked the juidge. I have. replied Pauhia Well, I desire to have a chemical examination made of the remaining bullets to determine If they are poisoned.

said Judge Neelen. "I therefore order you personally to take tbe revolver and the bullets to Professor E. W. Bomer for a chemical test. The courtroom In which the proceedings took place was less than two-thirds filled with spectators, ss It had been announced that the prisoner would.

not be taken to court today. After Schrank had been taken from the ante-room and down the elevator from the seventh floor a buss of conversation filled the courtroom for a few minutes ss spectators told each other the Identity of the light-haired, smooth-faced young man.

A large crowd gathered in front of Mercy eager for news of the Colonel's condition. Telegrams began pouring' Into the Institution almost as soon as the Colonel brought there and many of them were read by the patient himself. The telephone was ringing constantly. The Colonel at nine o'clock was much stronger than he was early in the morning, according to hls physicians. He was bright and cheerful and seemed rested.

He suffered little pain. "The tremendous strength and vitality of Colonel Roosevelt are beglning to assert themselves again. said Dr. Terrell. "I expect his fins physical condition to bring him through.

Elbert E. Martin Hero of Occasion Colonels Stenographer Downed the Would-Be Assassin Before He Could Hire Twice The hero of the attempted assassination of Colonel Roosevelt, the man who is given credit for having prevented Schrank from firing the second shot for which hls finger was straining when he was overpowered, le Elbert E. Martin, the Colonel's stenographer. AH through the present tour Martin has been always at the Colonel's elbow, pushing Intrusive persons away. More than once Colonel Roosevelt has reproved him for being too In Saginaw, when Martin threw himself against a man who was pushing forward and shoved him into a gutter he was rebuked by Colonel Roosevelt.

Martlne declares that the man at Saginaw and Schrank are the same. Last night in Milwaukee, Martin was at the Colonels elbow. Henry F. Cocheme wae on the other side. You get Into tbe car first, said Cochems to Martin, as It was customery for the Colonel to take tbe middle seat.

"No, you go first, replied Martin. The politeness gave him the opportunity to engrave ble name on the roll of fame, for Cocheme was out of reach when the shot waa fired and Martin at hand. Schrank wae within, seven feet of tbe Colonel when he Tilled hls hand with ths gun in It levelled at Colonel Roosevelt's breast. He fired, and in an instant Martin leaped on him and hurled him to the ground with one of hie arms twisted around the assassin's neck. "I saw Martin leap on the man like a wild animal.

said Cocheme, who hlmseU seised the assassin a second later. "He dashed him to the ground, twisting the man's head back and hls free hand grasping the revolver around the hammer so that the weapon could not be fired. Martin is a former football player and Schrank was no match for him. Cochems and a special policeman wrenched the gun away from Schrank and then the crowd surged forward bent on having the man's life. Martin and Cochems joined In dragging him to safety under Colonel Roosevelt's protection.

Don't hurt the man. Dont let anyone hurt him, Insisted the Colonel, and hls orders were respected. Martin is twenty-nine years old and a native of Manchester, Vt. He now Uvea at 631 West 143d street. New York He joined the Roosevelt stall Aug.

16 by the simple process of walking into Progressive headquarters and asking for a job. He was given It and soon after was made the Colonel's personal stenographer. Colonel Roosevelt likes aggressive men around him. young man looks as If hs had the punch, he said of Martin, and how the stenographer made good was shown last night. Martin was married this summer.

He is not only an expert stenographer but a lawyer, having graduated In the class of 1912 from Detroit College. He was admitted to tho bar In Lansing, Mich. The Colonel altered the set ending of bis address at Milwaukee by adding with softened tones the words "Charity, kindness and generosity to hls regular appeal for recruits to the Progressive cause. Hls words usually are "work and fight. Thats just like him.

He would never think of fear or self-preservation under those circumstances, and besides be Is a great admirer of Colonel Roosevelt, said Elbert E. Martin, the wife of Colonel Roosevelt's stenographer, when told today that her husband had distinguished himself last night by overpowering the former President's assailant before a second shot was fired. saaslnatlon of Colonel Roosevelt was in no sense a stock market feature although Wall Street manifested the greatest interest In the despatches telling or his condition. The stock market was strong at the opening In contrast with yesterdays ASSASSIN'S FORMER LIFE Described by Landlord of the. Hotel at Which Schrank Lived "Sow York.

Oct. 15 John Schrank. Roosevelts would-be assassin, up to month ago as a lodger at the Whits Hotel, a th: --story lodging house at' 156 Canal street. Just off the Bowery. He had been a guest there for nine months, occupying a room that tost him 62 a week.

Gustav Jost, the owner of the hotel, said today that he had known Schrank for a long time, although never intimately. The mans father, said Jost, "waa an old-time saloon keeper on Elisabeth street. Schrank used to come often to my place for lunch or a casual glass of beer. At the time I did not even know his name. Nine months ago ho came to me anl asked for a room.

gava him one at 62 a week and he waa registered under the name of Slannang. He told me he was the Insurance business. A few days later he remarked to me that hla name as Inscribed on the register was a mistake and should be Schrank. About two months ago he asked me to help him got a job somewhere as bartender or waiter. Finally, about the last of September, Schrank quit the hotel.

He said that hs was going out of town to visit relatives. A few days later he sent me a souvenir postal card from a Southern town, I think in South Carolina. I noticed by the papers this morning that he had gone South In pursuit of Colonel Roosevelt. Schrank never had any visitors at the hotel. Hs was quiet In his manner and In his talk.

He never talked politics with ms and never gave any Indication of possessing any violent opinions. He is ths last man I would have picked as a would-be assassin. The man left no papers or documents in the room which hs' bad occupied. There was a bundle of old clothes on a cupboard shelf, which 7 told the maid to throw out. Schrank is said to bo tho same who lived at 370 East Tenth street two years ago.

His wife then was with him. Schrank ran a laundry at Sixth street and Avenue and later moved away from tho Tenth-street address. But in the neighborhood he was well known as a rabid Socialist, although It was asserted last night that hs was a peaceful sort of man. Often Schrank used to talk at Tenth street and TOmpklna Park In an effort to enroll Socialists. He was extremely emphatic In these talks and extremely antagonistic to the wealthy.

He waa a member of a district Hungarian Socialist club and also said to bo a great friend of Bernard Berger of 319. East Ninety-first street. According to Mrs. Mathilda Stern, who Jives in tho Tenth-street house. Schrank was a quiet man, much given to trying to convert persons to Socialism.

He was in the habit of Invitlnr several men to hls rooms on Sunday afternoons or at night time, talking over Socialistic doctrine with them. The description of tho man who did tho shooting in Milwaukee wae said to tally with that of the quiet-appearing man who lived in the Tenth-street house. So great an impression did Schrank make on the persons who lived In tho vicinity of hls homo that several of them remembered him last night. Some of these did not oven know his name, but they declared that It was tho man who talked on Socialism and lived in the Tenth-street house. Eight years ago Schrank name appeared in the papers here in a connection different from that in which he figures today.

At the headquarters of the General locum Survivors Association ho was recalled as th youth who on June 16, 1904, Identified the charred remains of hls sweetheart who was one of tho thousand or more who died when the steamer General Slocum was burnd in thq East river. More than one man lost his mind after witnessing tho dreadful scenes that "followed this holocaust. Schrank' a sweetheart was Emily Zelgler. a nineteen-year-old German girl wlio lived in the tenement house at 870 East Tenth stret whre Schrank, thn a young man, had hls bachelor lodging. Her body, burned beyond, recognition, was Identified by Schrank as it lay in Its ooffln in tbe morgue.

-Neither the landlord nor any of the tenants st 870 East Tenth street could remember Schrank. Efforts to learn more about him through surviving members of the Zelgler' family have been equally fruitless. His assertion that he was among those bereaved by the Slocum disaster Is borne out by the coroner's record. Detectives from police headquarters went to Schrank's former lodging house this afternoon and took possession of a coat and one or two other minor effects he left behind him. jnlffbt consider it necessary for the candidate to make one address in New York-end Oct.

26 was mentioned as a possible date for a Madison Square Garden speech if the Colonel was able. The special car, the Mayflower, In which the Colonel has been travelling, and the Sunbeam, the correspondents car, which has been run with Colonel Roosevelt's car, were released by the Colonels managers this morning. Sitting up in bed drinking tea and munching toasrt. Colonel Roosevelt read Macaulay's essays. He expressed regret, it was said, that his -managers had decided to have him give up the rest of his campaign trip.

This was the word brought out by Me-dill McCormick as he and Dr. Murphy left the Colonel's room in the hospital. "Colonel Roosevelt is still in active charge of the campaign, said Mr. McCormick, "though It has been decided to his regret that his speaking tour be abandoned. He asked that he be permtted to consult with O.

K. Davis at the hospital tills afternoon. The first person whom the Colonel Kyi to sue after he had his breakfast was Very Rev. Edward J. Vattman, a former army chaplain, who retired with the rank of major.

He and the Colonel are old friends and this morning they enjoyed a chat of twenty-live minutes. Roosevelt Rushed to the Hospital This Coarse Fallowed Instead of Keeping Him In Special Car' The Colonel, with the bullet still In his chest, was taken to Mercy' Hospital here this morning after a consultation of physicians, who ordered a second X-ray examination with a view to an immediate operation. It was planned at first to allow the patient to rest in his special car In a quiet part of the railway yards, but after he had been seen by Dr. J. B.

Murphy the plan was vetoed and he was hurried away in an automobile. A throng was waiting when the special train iame to a stop here. There was no cheering, but the crowd watched In silence, while a line of policemen hedged the front rank from approaching the train. Colonel Roosevelt roused himself for a moment when the motion of the train ceased. He peered out of his window.

One of the first things lie saw was an ambulance. -I'll not go to any bospltal In that tiling. he declared. "When I go I'll go in an automobile, and Ill walk to it and I'll walk to the hospital from the car. I'm no weakling to be crippled by a flesh wound.

Dr. Murphy was called to examine Roosevelt at 5 A. M. and announced that an immediate operation was necessary. A second X-ray examination, to ascertain the extent of the wound located the bullet deep in the tissues, but at a safe distance from tho lung.

A telegram at once was sent to Mrs. Roosevelt In New Tork by the Colonel's orders. It read. Present examination shows no further danger beside that of which you were Informed from Milwaukee. Respiration good, pulse normal.

Bullet lr. safe place. So blood expectorated. The X-ray examination was made by Dr. George Hochreln.

Beside Dr. Murphy, Dr. Philip Kreusher, Dr. W. B.

Dr. John P. Golden, Dr. Terrell and Dr. Sayler of Milwaukee, were In attendance.

Physical Development Saved Him Colonel Roosevelt's wound ie described by Dr. Terrell as being Just above tbe tenth rib. three Inches deep and above the diaphragm. The wound is a simple one, said Dr. Terrell, but dangerous because of the possibility of blood poisoning.

Colonel Roosevelt lias a phenomenal development of the chest. It is largely due to tbe fact that he is a physical marvel that he wae not fatally wounded. He Is one of the most powerful men I have ever seen laid out on an operating table. The bullet of the assassin lodged in th massive muscles of bis chest instead of penetrating his lung. 'Ills exhibition, of stamina In making a speech of an hour with a revolver shot In his chest is none the less remarkable.

I would not wish to say at this time that he is not dangerously wounded. The gun was a foul one and the bullet passed through many substances before It entered bis body for the fear of blood poisoning not to be Imminent Colonel Roosevelt slept for two boure after his arrival In Chicago before he was awakened and conducted to Mercy Hospital. A white automobile backed up to ih private car "Mayflower, where all was ready to remove the Colonel. The rear door of the coach opened by Dr. Murphy and Colonel Roosevelt stepped out with a steady stride.

He was Supported slightly by the physician. As Colonel Roosevelt was descending the steps of tbe car several flashlight photographs were taken. Gosh Shot Again I Gosh! Shot again, he exclaimed with a sin 'ie. As he walked to the automobile he saluted newspapermen and policemen with a cheery "good morning. After being assisted into the ambulance Colonel Roosevelt slowly reclined on tne stretcher.

Ills cousin sat beside him. The drive to Mercy Hospital, two miles distant, was made In eleven minutes. Colonel Roosevelt alighted unassisted and walked slowly to an invalid chair. Ae soon as possible after Colonel Roosevelt was in the suite of rooms that had been prepared for him. Dr.

Hochreln began taking an X-ray photograph of the portion of the body where the bullet had entered. The photograph was completed before fight o'clock. Colonel Roosevelt was inclined to converse while the photograph was being taken. He also put In part of f-ie time In reading, chiefly from maga-sincK. The pronouncement by one physician that the operation probably would be conducted under a local anaesthetic was vrasurring to the watchers at the hospital.

That the surgeons thought a long period rest necessary, however, was shown' when Colonel Roosevelts -secretaries announced that he probably would make no noro speeches In campaign. Preparations for hls removal to Oyster Bay were sketched. A statement from the physicians confirmed the announcement by Secretary Martin. The pictures, however, bad not been developed, and It was on the outcome of this process that the doctors waited as a basis for determining finally whether an Immediate operation was necessary. Statement of Physicians The physicians statement after taking of the X-ray picture was as follows: Colonel Roosevelt has Just returned Charles Brows, in Ohio, Wounded in the Hip by Would-Be Assassin Cleveland, Oct.

15 Charles Brown, a Roosevelt supporter, was shot In the hip late last night by a fanatic who was apparently celebrating the shooting of Colonel Roosevelt. Brown bad purchased a paper from a newsboy who cried out the news of tbs shooting when a man standing a few feet distant drew a revolver, and shouting Hurrah, fired two shots, ohe of which struck Brown. Brown collapsed and the shooter escaped. MRS. ROOSEVELT DN WAY Leaves New York for Chicago on the Twentieth Century New York, Oct.

Long Trailed Roosevelt Sehranlc Unable to Accomplish Hls Assault, However, Until Colonel Reached Milwaukee This ie the story told by John Schrank of 870 East Tenth street. New York, of his often frustrated plan to shoot Theodore Roosevelt Schrank said: "I formerly ran a saloon at 10 East Tenth street, between avenues and New York city. I was born In Erdlng, Bavaria. two hours out of Munich, tbe capital. I am thlrty-alx years old.

and came to this country when nine years old, with my parents. have been engaged In tbe saloon business, as proprietor 'and as an employee of members of my family, nearly all my life, until I decided It waa my duty to kill Colonel Roosevelt I have been personally acquainted with Roosevelt since the former President was Police Commissioner of New York In 1895. I was first attracted to him aa a politician during the convention In Chicago. Then I began to think seriously or him ss a menace to the country, when he cried thief at that convention. "I looked upon hls plan to start a third party as a danger to tbe country.

My knowledge of history, gained through much reading, convinced me that Roosevelt was engaged In a dangerous undertaking. I was convinced that If he was defeated at the fall election he would again cry thief and that hls action would plunge the country Into a bloody civil war. I deemed it my duty, after mudh consideration, to put him out of the way. I was living at my home address at ths time but soon after I had a dream in which former President McKinley appeared to me. was told by McKinley In this dream that It was not Cxolgosx who murdered him, but Roosevelt.

McKinley, In this dream, told me that hls blood was on Roosevelts hand and that Roosevelt had killed him so that bs might become President. Impressed by Newspapers I wgg more deeply impressed by what I read In the newspapers than others, and, after having dreamed, was more convinced than ever that I should free tbe country from tbe menace of Rooeevelts ambition. On Sept. 21 I rtjnoved to the White Hotel at 156 Canal street, near the Bowery. did this as my first' step In a plan to kill Roosevelt.

I went soon afterwards to a gun store cm Broadway and purchased a revolver. I then purchased a ticket to Charleston. 8. and went to that city by steamer. My first plan was to catch the Roosevelt party In New Orleans, but I found that to be Impossible.

"I accordingly went to Charleston, and upon my arrival there had 6300 left. I left a bag. at the Hosley House In that city which contained, besides the box in which the revolver I' had purchased had been packed, a deed- to property on Eighty-first street in New York worth 625,000. and my naturalisation papers. That bag Is there now.

Not being able to carry out my plan In Charleston, I proceeded to Atlanta. then to Chattanooga. Tenn and from there to Evansville and Indianapolis, and to Chicago. In each one of these cities I tried to shoot Roosevelt, but was unable to waylay blm. I decided to shoot him as ho arrived In Chicago, and waited for blm at the Chicago and Northwestern station, but the intended victim did not arrive there.

I then decided to do the ahootlng at the Coliseum, but In this case, as In others, Roosevelt left the building by an entrance other than the one at which I had stationed myself. "During all thla time I had travelled under the name of Walter Roos. except at Charleston, where I gave my right name. While In' Chicago on Saturday I was at the Jackson Hotel, and decided after my failure at the Coliseum to come to'-Milwaukee In advance of the party and. lay my plans so carefully that I could not' faiL I came to Milwaukee 8unday morning and went to the Argyll a lodging house on Third street.

I then purchased newspapers to Inform myself as to Roosevelt'a Whereabouts, and learned that on Monday he was to arrive at five oclock. I learned also that hs was to be a guest rat ths Gilpatrick. and managed to gain a position near the entrance where I could shoot to kill when Roosevelt appeared. 1 am sorry have caused aU this trouble for the good people of Milwaukee and Wis-'on-siji, but I am not sorry that I carried out my plan. Proclamation Found on Schrank A written proclamation found In Bchranks clothing road: Sept 15.

1912, 1.80 M. In a dream 1 President McKinley set up In a monk's attire in whom I recognised Theodore Roosevelt. Tho President said: This Is my murderer: avenge my death. Sept. 12.

1912. 1.80 A. M. While writing a poem someone tapped me on tho shoulder mi eald: Let not a. murderer take the presidential chair.

Avenge my death. I could plainly see Mr. McKinleys features. Before the Almighty God, I swear this above writing Is nothing but the-truth. Another note found In the mans pocket reads: So long as Japan could rise to the.

greatest power of the world despite her surviving a tradition more than 2000 years old, as General Nogl so nobly demonstrated. It Is the duty of the United States of America to uphold the third-term tradition. Let every third-termer be regarded as a traitor to the American causa. Let It bo the right and duty of every oltlsen to forcibly remove a third-termer. Never let a third-term party emblem appear on the official ballot.

am willing to die for my country. God 1 resent world for tbe type of man who la most likely to aerve aa a common ancestor for both negro and European we find the nearest approach to the object of our search In the aboriginal Australian. Ho has apparently retained to a greater degree than any other living race the characters of that common stock from which both European and negro arose. The evolution of man proceeds at a slow rate. Were the prehistoric Britons to come amongst us now.

dressed In our modern they would pans unnoticed aa fellow-citixens. How long would It take to evolve the African on the one hand and the European on the other from a common stock Australoid wo suppose In form? Dr. Keiths own opinion Is that tho whole length of tho Pleistocene a period we shall say of 400,000 years Is not more than sufficient. After an Interesting discussion of the evidence afforded by fossil remains Dr. Keith concluded: I.

for one. am convinced that we bare followed him almost unchanged to at least the middle of the Pleistocene, when we find him accompanied by another form of man almost as distinct from blm as the gorilla Is from the cbimpanxee. Still further back, at thebeglnning of the Pleistocene, we find at least two forms of men the pre-Neanderthalold of Heidelberg and the small-brained man of Java but tbe representatives of modern man at this early period we do not know. It does sem to me, taking all the scraps of evidence at our disposal, the slow rate of human evolution, and the great blanks In the geological record into account, that a man as high as the Australoid of today was then In existence, but I cannot' bring myself to believe that human individuals as highly evolved as those discovered by Professor Ragaxxonl were In existence at an early part of Pliocene period. "The problem of mans antiquity Is not yet solved.

The picture wish to leave In your minds is, that in the distant past there was not one kind but a number of very different kinds of men in all of which have become extinct except that branch' which has given origin to modern man. On tbe Imperfect knowledge at present at our disposal It seems highly probable that man as we know him now took on hls human characters near the beginning of the Pliocene period. How long ago that is must bo measured, as Professor Boyd Dawkins Insists, by tbe changes which the earth and living things have undergone, and yet It is only human to try to find a means of measuring that period In a term of years, and the estimates at hand givo an antiquity of at least a million and a half of years." THE THRIFTIEST NATION The Swiss Government has Just published tho results of an Inquiry It has been msking Into the savings of the Swiss people and the means of thrift at their disposal. It applied direct to the savings banks to upply the information required. Seven banks out of a total of 1034 refused to comply with the Governments request, but the other 1017 all sent, in full particulars of their work.

Everywhere It la apparent that thrift Is Very much on the increase. For Instance, In the ten years from 1807 to 1908 the average sum in savings banks per head of the Swiss population rose from 309 to 44S francs. In other words, Switzerland, from the savings bank standard, is tbe thriftiest nation. Next to her comes Denmark, with 391 fr lines saved per head of and then, a long way behind, the German m-' plro with 291 (Prussia 308; Bavaria 99. Sax-' ony 403 and Wurtemberg 281).

Norway 270, the United States 220, Austria 211. Sweden 197. Hungary 130 France 138. Belgium 129. Great Britain 122.

Italy 106. Netherlands 89 and Of course. It must always be remembered (says the Morning Post Berne correspondent) how many forms of saving exist; and it is doubtful whether life ineurance, for instance. Is as common in Switzerland as in Switzerland as yet has no post office Savings bank, and no penny savings bank, although thirty-nine of her savings banks will open an account for a sum of one franc or less, while only three require ten francs or more aa aadeposit. Tho Swiss Government le naturally ex ceedingly anxious to promote thrift In every possible way, and to thla end nothing Is considered better than tbe often-discussed plan of tbe introduction of post office savings banlw on tbe British system.

At tbe end of 1906, the yenr la question, the sums lying in savings banks to the credit of Swiss subjects amounted to nearly francs, as compared with not quite francs In 1897.

The else of each la 30 by 72 Inches. 1 and when one considers that no leas than 2320 cloth clips are needed for each rug, and that these are picked up automatically by the machine, placed In the canvas and the rug completed all within the space of one minute, one dbtains an Idea of tho marvellous capabilities of the machine. The only manual labor required Is In cutting the cloth clips.

The saving, both in time and cost, that Is claimed for the new invention may bo estimated from tbe fact that at present it takes one person four hours to produce one rug, and the cost is 630.50 per 10 while the new Invention will produce them for 25 shillings (86.09). One of tile most remarkable parts of the Invention is the spring dips, which automatically pick up the cloth dips from tho flexible ilatform and convey them to the machine. Previous machines required long strips of canvas, which had to be cut and afterwards sewn together, entailing much waste, and as the long strips bad a far higher marketable value for other purposes the machines proved a failure for rug-making. Mr. Silvers Ides has spent three years In making the model.

He completed ono while on board the Edward Dawson last year, that vessel sinking near Holland, and the model was lost with It. He settled at Norton and set up making another model, which he has just completed. From Consul Benjamin F. Chase. Leeds, Eng.

15 John Schrank, Colonel Roosevelt's assailant, pleaded guilty to a charge of attempted murder when given a preliminary arraignment before Judge 31. B. Neelen In the District Court today. Judge Neelen held Schrank to the Criminal Court for trial under bonds of 67300. Tentatively the date for trial was -set for the November term of the Criminal Court.

Schrank pleaded guilty and waa entered as soon as District Attorney Zabel had read the formal charge of attempted murder. What le your answer to this charge? Judge Neelen. asked of Schrank. Guilty, replied Schrank, without apparent nervousness. The City Detective Bureau delivered Schrank to Sheriff Arnold of Milwaukee County as soon as the brief arraignment at Judge Neelen's court had been concluded.

Sheriff Arnold took, the prisoner to the county Jail, directly across the. street from Central Police Station, where the prisoner had spent the night, and Schrank was' given a Mil near the deputies room, where a close watch could be kept on him. In my survey of tbe prisoner, said SherUf Arnold, I was impressed with the probability that hie act was that of a brooding recluse and not the crime of a man agitated by fellows In societies or clubs of an anarchistic or aeml-anarehlstlo character. -It was said that. Schrank would not be taken Into the Criminal Court to have sentence, pronounced on him for a month.

Schrank was taken to District Court at 1(180 oclock this morning for preliminary examination. Tbe action was taken on recommendation of District Attorney Zabel, who issued a warrant, charging Schrank with shooting Colonel Roosevelt with Intent to kill. Judge Neelen Immediately after the arraignment of Schrank ordered Professor E. W. Bomer, head of tbe chemical department of Marquette University.

The Cleansing Co 217-223 Mass. Ave Cambridge, Mass BOW, OLD IS MAN? At Least Years The New Heterodoxy From ths Manchester Guardian) Dr. Arthur Keith delivered a lecture before the British Association on "Modern Problems Relating to the Antiquity of Man. After referring to tho storm raised when Sir Charles Lyell at the British Association meeting of 1859. announced that "a work will very shortly appear by Mr.

Charles Darwin, the result of twenty years' observation and experiment, and that the evidence which had accumulated made it probable that man was old enough to have co-existed at least with the Siberian Mammoth, Dr. Keith said that this was now the accepted and orthodox opinion of tbe vast majority of thoughtful But In every movement of that kind opinion tended to become fixed and conventionalised, and then a new heterodoxy raised Its head. That was the phase we seemed to have reached now. I cannot cite a more stalwart or distinguished representative of the orthodox opinion of today than Professor Boyd Dawkins of Manchester. In hls opinion tho history of man does not extend beyond the Pleistocene, period the phase of the earths history which Immediately precedes the one in which live.

He accepts the fossil man of Java Pithecanthropus a being with a brain a little more than half the sise of a modern mans, as representative of mankind at the beginning of tho Pleistocene; before tho end of that period men of modern type appeared. Men who have studied the' transformations effected during the -Pleistocene period have formed varying estimates of its duration, but we may safely adopt as a moderate figure the 400,000 years given by Professor Sollas at a' meeting of this association In. 1900. We may accept, then, as the orthodox opinion of today that tho dawn of the very earliest form of hulnanity lies 400,000 years behind us. For a' representative of modern heterodoxy as far as relates to the antiquity of man we cannot do better than visit the Royal Natural History Museum in Brussels and follow tbe guidance of M.

tot. M. Rutot Is convinced that he has traced man. by means of hls eollthlc culture, not only to tho commencement of the Pleistocene, but Into and through, the two long geological porlode whl.ch preceded the Pleistocene tho Pliocene and Miocene and even well Into the formations of the still older period, tho Oligocene. In M.

Ru tots opinion the origin of mankind must be assigned to a time as early as the Ollgo-cene period. Professor Sollas has made a provlsionnl estimate of 900,000 years for the and 1,800,000 for the Miocene. On this- crude estimate the heterodox opinion as to tho antiquity of man must be plaoed at over 3.000,000 yeara It is' only Just to M. Rutot to state that he would by qo means agree to the ostimates given by Professor Sollqs. XL' Dr.
