Milwaukee. Wis., Oct. 14.?Cel. Koosewlt was shot in the breast by an assassin as he entered the autoin front of the Hotel Gi'patrickj to start for an auditorium, where he ! was speaking tonight. He insisted on ! going to the hall, there quieted the crowd that heard he had been shot,j spoke from 8.20 until 9.45 o'clock,! though apparently weak, and then was-, taken to an emergency hospital. j1 The X-ray of Col. Roosevelt's wound j showed that the bullet lodged in the ; chest wall and did nor penetrate the i > lung. The wound is not considered serious. 1 The bullet struck a manuscript of the speech which he delivered tonight, . and this probably saved his life. 1 After an hour's questioning tne as- j sassin gave his name as John Schrank of 370 east Tenth street. New York. ' From notes found in the prisoner's j pockets it is evident that he is demented on the subject of the colonel's ! seeking a third term. Col. Roosevelt, left the hospital at ; 11.23 p. m. He was able to walk unassisted. "I am feeling fine," he said. He will leave for Chicago before 1 midnight. Henry F. Cochems seized the man and liela him until policemen came up. A mob surged around the prisoner 1 who apparently is mentally upsec on the subject cf Roosevelt's running for another term as president. The man, who is small of stature, adinitted firing the shot and said that "a ,ai lc";k'i? r fcr a l*ii:\l t rm ought to be shot." In notes found in the man's pockets at the police station were statements ..i,af) K'jfin visitftd ill * HIctL lHv* il'"* J (1 ' liv liuu :r ,v ii v. a dream by the spirit of William McKinley. who had said, indicating Ooi.

Before the crowd knew 1 what had happened Martin, who is "t six fret tall and a former football < player, had landed squarely on the assassin's shoulder and had borne him to the ground. He threw his right arm about the man's neck with a death- ( like grip and with his left arm seized i the hand that held the revolver. In j i another second he naa disarmed man. | ]Ool. Roosevelt stood calmly looking i ( on, as though nothing had happened, h Martin picked the man lip as though ; < he were a child and carried him the ,'r few feet which separated him from j the car almost to the side of the col- 'q onel. j"\ "Here he is," said Martin. "Look ] Lit him, colonel." j i Crowd Enraged. j t All this happened within a few s^c-; onds and Col. Roosevelt stood gazing ' ( rather curiously at the man who at- g tempted his lit^ oeiore me siumum ( srowd realized what was. Then one ' c. angry growl went up. f "Lynch him.

' ^ The men in the crowd at first were j not disposed to heed his words, but1 f at length fell back and permitted1 1 Martin and Capt. Girard to carry the , f man into the hotel. ,-? After a short struggle the a?sassin e gave up ard was carried without re-1sistance out Qf the reach cf the crowd. I "Are you hurt, colonel?" a hundred, voicss called out. ! c i ' Oh, no," he responded with a's smile; "missed me that time. T'm ] not hurt a bit.

He felt no shock or pain at the time and it was assumed that j'( the bullet went wild. As soon as CoVj'S Roosevelt had assured himself the! t assassin was safe in the hands of the I ? police he .cave orders "to drive on to . i th? auditorium. i t They had driven hardly one of the i c four blocks frcjn the hotel to the j ? auditorium when John McGrath, an-j c ot:i?T of Col.

Chicago, Oct. 1?>.?The first x-ray plate which definitely showed the lv.ilrlet in Col. Roosevelt's chrst was developed late this afternoon. The bullet is khown partly imbedded in fracture in the fourth rib, a-)0i't four! inches from the sternum. Th^ bullet j is much flattened and spread out of j shape.

The -surgeons in charge of the case j from the first have refused to state j in any manner whether the flesh was lacerated in the passage of the bullet.
