WABASH IS COMING FOR FOOTBALL GAME

Hight School Will Have First Contest In Rensselaer Next Saturday— Locals in Fine Shape. t' t Rensselaer high school is to play its first football game next Saturday, its opponents coming from Wabash for the contest. The game should be a good one, as the local lads have been in daily practice since the first week of school. There are a number of new men on the team but they are showing up well and Coach Parker and his assistant, Simon Thompson, have been putting the young fellows through some lively training. They should be in prime physical condition. There has been some difficulty in procuring games this year, due to the fact that football has been prohibited in a number of schools. But the schedule is becoming quite well filled now, and it is expected to have five games at home. Whether the team will go away or not remains to be decided. The admission to Saturday’s game will be 25 cents. The school boys will canvas for the sale of tickets and it is hoped a large sale and a big attendance results, as the first game will be an expensive one, owing to the distance the players have to come. The new rules adopted last year will be in vogue this year. The ground is 10 yards shorted and the court extends beyond the goal posts at each end of the ground. Four downs are now allowed instead of three as formerly. A touchdown now counts six points and there are a number of other changes.

Presidential Candidate Wounded Slightly As He Was Leaving Hotel to Deliver Speech at Auditorium. Assailant Gave Name of John Schrank and Said He Had Been Visited By Ghost of McKinley and Told to Avenge the Former President’s Death.

'Col. Theodore Roosevelt, the Progressive party candidate for the presidency, was shot and it is believed but slightly wounded as he was leaving his hotel in Milwaukee Monday evening for the auditorium to deliver a speech. He had just seated himself in an automobile when a man pushed through the crowd and fired, the bullet striking Mr. Roosevelt in the right breast Albert H. Martin, one of Col. Roosevelt’s secretaries, sprang from the auto and grappled with the assailant. At about the same time Capt. 0. A. Girard, of Milwaukee, who was on the front seat, jumped from the car and aided Martin in overpowering and disarming the would-be asassin. Cries to lynch the man were sent up and Roosevelt spoke to the people and told them not to injure him. The man was taken into the hotel and later to jail, where he gave the name of John Schrank. He said his home was in New York and that a ghost of McKinley had visited him and requested him to perform the deed. Col. Roosevelt insisted that he was all right and the car started to the auditorium. On the way there one of the men in the car observed a bullet hole in his overcoat and called his attention to it He said: “It looks as though I had been hit, but I don’t think it is anything serious.” Dr. Terrell, who was in the car, insisted that the Colonel return to the hotel, but he would not hear to it When the auditorium was reached he was taken into the dressing room and his outer garments removed. A superficial examination was made by Dr. Terrell and two other doctors. They all agreed that they could not determine the extent of the injury and that Lt was best for the Colonel to refrain from making the speech. But he refused to do so, saying: "I will deliver this speech or die, one or the other.” He strode out of the dressing room and onto the stage. The building was packed and he was cheered loudly as he appeared. The crowd did not know that he had been wounded. Henry F. Cochems, of Wisconsin, stepped to the front of the platform and held up his hand. The audience was quieted. Mr. Cochems said:

“I have something to to tell you,” said Mr. Cochems, “and I hope you will receive the news with calmness.” His voice shook and a death like stillness settled over the throng. “Col. Roosevelt has been shot. He is wounded.” He spoke-in a low tone, but such was the stillness that every one heard him. A cry of astonishment and hopror went up from the crowd which was thrown into confusion in an instant Mr. Cochems looked inquiringly at Opl. Roosevelt. “Tell us, are you hurt?” Men and women Shouted wildly, Some of them arose from their, seats and rushed forward to look more closely at the Colonel. Col. Roosevelt walked to the edge of the platform to quiet the crowd. He raised his hand and instantly there was silence.

“It’s true,” he said. Then unbuttoning his coat and placing his hand op his breast. Those in front of the crowd could catch a sight of the blood stained garment. “I am going to ask you to be very quiet,” said Colonel Roosevelt, “and please excuse me from making you a very long speech. I’m going to do the best I can, but you see there’s a bullet in my body. But it's nothing. I’m not hurt badly.” " A sigh of relief went up from the crowd and then an outburst of tumultous cheering. Thoroughly reassured by the colonel’s action that he was in no serious danger the crowd settled back in their seats to hear his speech. Col. Roosevelt began to speak in a firm voice, somewhat lower than his usual tone, and except that his characteristic gestures were less emphatic than usual, there was nothing about the man to indicate, his condition. After he had been speaking a few moments, however, his voice sank somewhat and he seemed to Stand rather unsteadily. Dr. Terrell and Col. Lyon stepped up to him and the doctor insisted that he stop. “I’m going to finish this speech,” said the colonel emphatically. "I’m all right; let me alone.” Dr. Terrell and Cd. Lyon sat down again. The colonel continued his speech evidently with Increasing effort, but he succeeded in making himself heard and talked for more than an hour. Then he was rushed to his automobile and flashed through the streets to the Emergency hospital.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1912.

ROOSEVELT SHOT BY MANIAC AT MILWAUKEE

Col. Taken to Chicago Hospital.

Chicago, Oct. 15.—Colonel Roosevelt was brought to Chicago on a special train from Milwaukee, arriving here at 3 o’clock this morning. He walked from the train and as he z passed by a battery of newspapermen and flashlight photographers he remarked: “Shot again.” He seemed in fine spirits. He was placed in an ambulance and rushed to the Mercy hospital. He reclined on a cot in the ambulance and when the hospital was reached seemed to have taken a decided turn for the worse. ' The surgeons, headed by Dr. John B. Murphy, noted the change with some alarm. It is said they fear blood poisoning. The surgeons made a superficial examination and it was decided to operate at about noon today. Dr. Murphy was to do the operating. Although the wound did not seem to be serious, the fact that the bullet is some place in his body is causing grave concern.

The operating room had been placed in readiness to receive Colonel Roosevelt and six of the leading surgeons of Milwaukee were awaiting his arrival. Col. Roosevelt was undressed and placed upon the operating table, although he insisted that he was not badly hurt and that the doctors were taking it too seriously. An examination of the wound showed that it had been made by a bullet of large size. It entered the fleshy part of the right breast, half way between the collar bone and lower rib. The physicians found that they knew no more after their examination than they did before as to the location of the bullet and it was decided to send for an x-ray machine to determine to what depth the missile had penetrated. While he was awaiting for the x-ray machine, Col. Roosevelt sat upon the operating table and talked politics and joked with the physicians. In the meantime hidden away in an inner room in the police station Col. Roosevelt’s assailant was being subjected to a rigid examination. He refused stubbornly to give an account of himself and would say nothing except that "I will tell you tomorrow.” 'After a long siege, however, the police forced from him the statement that he was John Schrank, 0f370-East Tenth street, New York. I Clippings found in the man’s pockets showed that he ’had studied Col. Roosevelt’s itinerary carefully, with the evident Intention of- selecting the place at which he might accomplish what he had in mind. It was at the Gilpatrick hotel while Col. Roosevelt was at dinner a short, dark man, about 40 years old, made four attempts to gain admission to the dining room. Those who saw him said he bore no resemblance to Schrank. From this circumstance the report gained currency that two men were engaged in the attempt to take Col. Roosevelt’s life. The police were unable to gain any evidence to bear out this theory.

Albert H. Martin, who sprang from the car and grappled with the assailant, pocketed the revolver which he had taken from the man. He later exhibited it to the police and newspapermen. It was a new 38-calibre revolver. At the jail Schrank finally talked freely. He had carefully planned to commit the deed, he said, and had been frustrated several times. According to his story he formerly ran a saloon at 370 East Tenth street, between Avenues B and C,’ New York City. He was born in Erding, Bavaria, two hours out of Munich, the capital. He is 36 years old and came to this country when he was 9 years old with his parents. He had been engaged in the saloon business, as proprietor and as an employe of members of his family ner.rly all his life, until he decided that it was his duty to kill Col. Rposevelt. -He said he had been personally acquainted with Roosevelt since the president was police commissioner of New York in 1895. He said he was first attracted to him as a political personage during the recent republican national convention in Chicago. Then he said he began to think seriously of him as a menace to <hls country when he cried “thief” at that convention. He looked upon his plan to start a third party as a danger to the country he said. He said that Ms knowledge of history gained through much reading convinced him that if Col. Roosevelt was defeated at the fall election he would

again cry “thief” and that his action would plunge the country into a bloody civil war. He said that he deemed it his duty after much consideration of the situation to put. Col. Roosevelt out of the way. He was living at his home address at that time, he said, but soon after he had a dream in which former President McKinley appeared to him. He was told by McKinley in this dream that it was not Czojgosz who murdered him, but Roosevelt. He said McKinley, in his* dream, told him that the blood was on Roosevelt’s hands antLthat Roosevelt had killed him so that he might become president. Schrank said that he was a person more deeply impressed by . what he read in the newspapers than others and that after having this dream he was more convinced than ever that he should free the country from the menace of Roosevelt’sjambition. On September 21, he removed to the White hotel at 156 Canal, near the Bowery. He did this as his first step in a plan to kill Roosevelt. He wefit soon afterward to a gun store on Broadway and purchased a revolver. He then purchased a ticket to Charleston, S. C n and went to that city by steamboat. His first plan was to catch the Roosevelt party in New Orleans, he said, but soon found that this was impossible. He accordingly went to Charleston and on his arrival there had S3OO left. He left a bag at the Mosely house in that city which contained, besides the box in which the revolver he had purchased, had been packed, a deed to property on 81st street, New York City, worth $225,000, and his naturalization papers. The bag is there now. Not being able to carry out his plan in Charleston, he proceeded to Atlanta, Ga„ thence to Chattanooga, Tenn., and then to Evansville and to Idianapolis and to Chicago. In each of these cities he tried to shoot Roosevelt but was unable to waylay him. He decided to shoot him as he arrived in Chicago and waited' for him at the Chicago & Northwestern station, but the intended victim did not arrive there. He then decided to do the shooting at the Coliseum but in this case, as In the others, Roosevelt left the building by an entrance other than the one at which he had stationed himself.

During all this time he had traveled under the name of Walter Ross, except at Charleston, where he gave his right name. - , . While in Chicago on Saturday he was at the Jackson hotel and he decided after his failure at the Coliseum to come to Milwaukee in advance of the party and lay his plans, so carefully that he could not fail. He went to Milwaukee Sunday morning and went to the Argyle, a lodging house on Third street. He said he then purchased a newspaper to inform himself as to Roosevelt’s whereabouts, and learned that on Monday he was to arrive at 5 o’clock. He learned also that the colonel was to be a guest at the Gilpatrick, and managed to get in a position near the entrance where he could shoot to kill when Roosevelt appeared. Schrank said he was sorry that he had caused all this trouble for the good people of Milwaukee and Wisconsin, but that he was not sorry that he carried out his plan. When Schrank was searched at the central police station he had $144.10 of the S3OO which he said he had when he arrived at Charleston.
