It was customary for the colonel to take the middle seat. you go in first," came the reply. The politeness gave him the opportunity to engross his name on the roll of fame, for Cochems was out of reach when the shot was fired and Martin was right at hand. Schrank was within seven feet of the colonel when he raised his hand with the gun In It, leveled at Roosevelt's chest. He fired.

In an instant Martin leaped on him, hurling him to the ground. An arm of was twisted around neck.

It was a black hole, surrounded by bruised and bleeding flesh. Little blood came from it, which at first seemed to Indicate that the flow might be internal.

I am not coughing. I guess all right. Homebody give me a Dr. Terrell handed him a clean handkerchief and he placed this over the wound and closed his shirt over the place. Few persons saw the colonel bandage his own wound as he took pains to conceal his movement.

The operation took but a moment. He had been standing all the time and lie turned and waved his hat as cheerfully as he had been when the assassin's shot rang out. He walked with his usual firm tread to the platform from whicli he spoke. He sternly resisted all efforts to get him to shorten his speech. One of those back of him at one time attempted to take away his manuscript but the colonel objected.

After his speech when went to the Emergency hospital he looked Hilly around the waiting room, keep-1 lug on his feet, in opposition to the MRS.

Col. Cecil Eyon of Texas interjected occasional explanations. was a very wonderful thing to she complimented Martin; wonderful. I am very proud of you. You have had much time to decide and you took a great risk in doing what you did.

I am as grateful to you as I can possibly be." Martin blushingly displayed the torn and perforated manuscript and spec tacle case which helped to lessen the force of the bullet and disclaimed any heroism, but the daughter of the exPresident would not have It so. She examined the exhibits carefully and that the spectacles had not been damaged. Before she went into the apartments he was told she was without and he called out to her to on She was closeted with him for some time. Before her arrival and while the physicians were present for the evening consultation several additional X-ray photographs were taken. There was no change tonight in the attitude of the attending doctors that it was unnecessary at this time either to probe for the bullet or to attempt to extract it.

Colonel Roosevelt said he had little concern; that he was satisfied to leave it with the physicians. Cincinnati.

After the operation was concluded and it had been decided to defer probing for the bullet until the party arrived in Chicago, the colonel rdde in his motor car to the railroad station sitting upright and responding to the greeting of the crowds that lined the route. He stepped lightly from the car, waving his hat and walked rapidly to the train. for you, Teddy; a brave man, all right," the crowd shouted. In the car he at first refused to go to bed.

He went to his stateroom and called for hot water. want to shave," he said, must shave before 1 can be comfortable, and going to do it." He did this and then removed his clothes and went to bed. The train had not been in motion many minutes before he was in a peaceful sleep. This continued almost unbroken until he reached Chicago. Milwaukee Calms Down Milwaukee, October was early today before this city recovered from the excitement caused by the shooting of exPresident Roosevelt.

Word that a shot had been fired at the colonel soon spread over the city, but the first impression was that he had not been hit and that it was a rumor. It was fully two hours afterward before It. was learned he had been wounded. Colonel Roosevelt reached the Auditorium, where he was to speak, before the shooting had been generally beard of. The people pressed about him as closely as they could and cheered him as he left his automobile and stepped through the door.

Colonel Roosevelt then smiled. He waved his big black campaign bat as though nothing out of the ordinary had happened. As he entered the place hundreds of persons made a rush for the doors and the colonel barely escaped being caught in a jam. By this time the report began to spread that Colonel Roosevelt had been wounded. People came on a run from every direellon bearing the report that a shot had been fired.

They demanded to know whether the former President was Injured. They beat on the doors and shouted to the attendants within for admission or at least for some tidings of what had happened. Information Withheld It was necessary to lock and barricade the doors and place double guards at them. Accurate information as to Colonel condition was held back for a considerable space by the strict manner in which the doormen at the Auditorium performed their duty. Every one was excluded, regardless of his reasons for demanding admission.

The paper correspondents accompanying Colonel Roosevelt were unable to follow him from the Gilpatriek quickly enough to enter the Auditorium with him and when they reached the building they found an extraordinary locked outside with a guard at each door inside. It required half on hour of running from door to door, of arguments, pleas, threats and physical encounters before they were at last admitted. O. K. Davis, secretary of the progressive national committee, provided the first, accurate information as to what bad occurred.

Davis talked brokenly with tears streaming down his fact. Dr. Scurry Terrell, Colonel physician, was too overwrought to attempt a coherent story. He could only wave his arms and say that he did not know how badly Colonel Roosevelt wan wounded, for the colonel would permit him only to make a supeflcial examination.

This is Just before he lay down to sleep in his narrow cell cot at 1) o'clock tonight Schrank expressed the first words of regret that he has uttered since the shooting. Sorry He Shot "I'm sorroy I said Schrank as a deputy sheriff was locking him up for the night. Then Schrank dropped down on his cot and within half an hour was sleeping just like a kid," as the Jail attendants expressed It. The men who are watching Schrank were surprised by two things: That the prisoner at no time asked to see a newspaper and that he made no Inquiries whatever regarding Colonel Roosevelt's condition.

So far as the jail attaches knew, Schrank tonight was not Informed as to whether Colonel Roosevelt was dead or alive. He had exhibited no curiosity on this point. His expression of regret was not made in reply to any question by the deputy, but was re peated several times, apparently in soliloquy. Professor Sommer declared tonight that it would be Impossible to determine before tomorrow noon whether or not the bullet fired Into Colonel Roosevelt's body had been treated with poison. Dean Sommer's method Involved the use of guinea pigs.

He scraped the surface of the bullets, removing all tallow and other substances used for coating and made a solution of the substances. This he used for the inoculation of guinea pigs to discover if any poison had been used to make the work of the bullet more certain. Dean sommer after making these preliminary steps. made a report of what he had done to Judge Neelen. who ordered the tests made and, pending the outcome, refused to discuss the oiatter.

Schrank Always Quiet New York. October Schrank, would-be assassin, up to a month ago lived at the White hotel, a three lodging house at 13f Canal street, just off the Bowery. Tie had been a truest there for nine months, occupying a room that cost him $2 a week. Gustave A. Jost, owner of the hotel, said today that he had known Sell rank for a long time, said Jost, "was an old-time saloonkeeper on Elizabeth street.

Schrank used to come often to my place for lunch or a casual glass of beer. He was a quiet, unassuming fellow and I often sat down with him for a few chat. It was just nine months ago when he came to me and asked for a room. I gave him one at $2 a week and ho was registered under the name Slannang. He told mo at the time ho was in the insurance business.

A few days later he remarked to me that his name as inscribed on the register was a mistake and should be Schrank. did not appear to be prosperous; in fact, about two months ago he asked mo to help him get a job somewhere as bartender or waiter. Finally about the last of September Schrank quit the hotel, leaving no forwarding address. He said that he was going out of town to visit relatives. A few days later he sent me a postcard from a southern town, I think In South Carolina.

I notice by the papers he had gone south in pursuit of Colonel Roosevelt. "Schrank never had any visitors at the hotel. He was quiet in his manners and In his talk. There was no mystery about him. Apparently he was just like many other men whom you meet in New York hotels hjuI lodging houses.

He never talked politics with me and never gave any indication of possessing violent opinions. He is the last man 1 would have picked as a would-be Figured in Slocum Disaster Eight years ago Schrank's name appeared in the newspapers here in a connection quite different from that in which it now figures. At the headquarters of the General Slocum Survivors' association he was recalled as the youth who on June 16, 1904, identified the body of his sweetheart, who was one of the thousand or more who died when the steamer General Slocum was burned in the East river. More than one man lost liis mind after witnessing the dreadful scenes after this. Schrank's sweetheart was Emily Zeigler, a 19-year-old German girl, who lived in the tenement house where Schrank had his bachelor lodgings.

Efforts to learn more about Schrank through surviving members of the Zeigler family have been fruitless. The association's statement that lie was among those bereaved by the Slocum disaster is borne out by the 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. Property Found Investigation into Schrank's movements here resulted late tonight in the dlscovery of a valise containing property deeds and mortgages and a number of letters addressed to him. Hearing that Schrank had made frequent visits to a house at 442 East Eightyfirst, street In Manhattan detefctlves went there and were told the house was owned Schrank and that the rents were paid to Edward Eauringer.

proprietor of a hotel in Queensborough. At Eauringer place it was learned that Schrank lived at the hotel for some time last year and until January last when lie went away lie left a valise in Eauringer's care. Eauringer said that after Schrank loft lie did not see him again until September 2, when Schrank appeared in the neighborhood and, according to Eauringer, borrowed $350 of some one in that vicinity. Detectives believe it was with this money that. Schrank financed his trip.

had heard, lie said, that Schrank had been a translator for a German newspaper. Left Grip in Charleston Charleston, S. October with Roosevelt: we want no la the aentiment expressed In notes found In the grip left by John Schrank, Colonel Roosevelt's would-be assassin, at the Mosley house In this city, where he stopped from September 23 to 25.

The photographs were rot developed at once and it was on tho outcome of this process that, the doctors waited as a basis for determining whether finally an Immediate operation was necessary. The statement after the taking of the X-ray picture was: "Colonel Roosevelt has Just returned from the operating room. We have set the plates. We now await the development.
