PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S SON is BETTER,
BUT THE FINAL CRISIS is NOT YET PASSED

Groton. Mass, Feb. 1.-THE reports

The crisis of the disease Is still 10 come
and is looked for within the next twenty
four or thirtv-siX hours. The president
and his wife believe their son viii meet
this crisis successfully and recover. The
slight favorable turn in the disease to-
day has greatly relieved the strain on
both of them
Still. the reports issued through Mr..
Cortelyou. secretary to the president, ran
between hope and fear. Beginning with
the morning when the boy, after an ad-
mittedly hard night was reported as I'M

was continued through the noon state

that the boys temperature bad risen,
and that il would remain nigh, ana IL

that Notwithstanding the high temporal

LIFE in PERIL.
Crews Have Thrilling Experiences in
Attempts at Rescue.


Attempts at Rescue.
Cape May, n. J., Feb. 1.-THE hulk
of the unknown schooner which was
burned at sea last night off this place
Is floating about in the ice this morn
ing a few miles off shore. The crews
of five life-saving stations went to the
assistance of the burning vessel last
night. but after being out until 8
O'clock they gave up the attempt TO
rescue her and rOwed back TO the shore.
Seafaring men here advance the the
DRY that il became necessary to aban-
don the schooner and that the crew
were taken off by a passing vessel. Be
fore leaving her under such a condi-
ton the captain may have dropped an
chOTs and set fire to the ship, in order
to remove her from the path of pass
ing craft.
The life-savers from the stations at
Cape May, Cape Point and TwO-mile
Beach, who returned to their homes
today tell graphic stories of their long
and unavailing struggle against the
elements in their effort to lend assist
ance to the crew of the burning ship.
The night was about the coolest of the
winter, and the darkness was almost
impenetrable. In addition there was
wind enough to make the sea choppy.
and, therefore, dangerous for small
craft. For several days past great
quantities of ice have been floating out
of Delaware bay, and this is packeu
along the shore and extending several
miles out to sea.

A DOUBTFUL STORY.
A Woman in Illinois Says She is the
Daughter of Abraham Lincoln.

Springfield. Ills.-A queer story was told
TO States Attorney William e. Shut here
today by a woman, who says she is the
daughter of Abraham Lincoln. She al
leges that her name is Mary Todd, and
that she has lived in Springfield for over
Il year. She has been silent concerning
her relationship. she says. because she
lad confidence in promises that she
would alwa-s be we'll cared for.
Her desire at this time is to prove her
identity in order that she may lay claim
TO a farm in Meuard county, near Peters
burg. She declares that she knows Mr..
Lincoln owned the farm at the time be-
was assassinated and that the present
owners are Illegally in possession of it.
The @-omau docs not know her exact
age or where she was born. She says she
was reared by Robert and Jane Todd on
a farm near Chambershurg, in Pike
county. and lived with them until is years
of age. when she quarreled with Robert
Todd because of his refusal TO tell her
the name of her father. She says Todd
gave her S2,0l0 in cash "a id she went
away Robert and Jane Todd are both
dead
Several persons. she says. told her that
Robert and Jane Todd We're not her par
onts. and that Abraham Lincoln was he-
father The woman asserts that she re-
members when she was about years old
that Lincoln came TO Todd'S house. where
she was staying. and they talked about
her She was too small then to know
what they were discussing, buJ she says
now that she is of the opinion that Lin
coin was aging Todd TO take care of her.
The woman gave her story to State
