JOE JEFFERSON IS DEAD.
The well.known Actor Responds -
the Last Call at His Winter
Home in Florida.

West Palm Beach, Fla, April "a
Joseph Jefferson, the eminent actor,
died at his home, 1.-The Reefs at Palm
Beach, at G:15 Sunday evening. The
end came after a day of unconscious
ness, and after a heroic struggle OF
days which had exhausted his vitality.
At his deathbed were his wife, his
sons, Charles b. and Frank Jefferson,
his nurse, Miss Mabel Bingham, DR..
r. p. Porter, and his faithful old serv-
ant, Carl Kettler.
Mr.. Jefferson was born in Philadel-
phia February 20, 1929, and had been
on the stage since childhood.
The end was not a surprise to mis-
family. Ever since his last sinking
spell, which came after a rally on
Thursday morning, and which was fol-
lowed by an apparent improvement UNI
til Friday, the family has been waiting
for the end. Mr.. Jefferson'S condition.,
Saturday night, grew steadily worse,
and the family, who had retired, were
summoned from their beds, and DR..
Potter was called. The patients con-
ditior continued to grow worse all
tnrOuSn Sunuay, anu lne DTlel Dulietih"
from the bedside contained no words
Of encouragement.
The illness of Mr.. jefferson, which
ended in his death, was contracted, 1t
is believed, while on a recent visit to
his son, Charles B. Jefferson, at Hobo
sound, a few miles above Palm Beach,
where he went to meet his friend,
former President Cleveland. 1t Is be-
lieved that from a slight indiscretion
in his eating there he suffered an at
tack of indigestion. Since his return
to his home his condition grew steadi-
ly worse with slight rallies until the
end.
The body of Mr.. Jefferson will be
taken TO Buzzard's Bay on a special
train, leaving her this evening, ac-
companied by all the members OF his
family, who are here. 1t will reach
New York Wednesday morning, and the
family hope to reach Buzzard's Bay
the evening of that day.

A Commanding Figure.

Standing on the port side of the ship
when the party from the cutter board
ed her was the commanding figure of
M. White, who is almost universally
admitted to be the foremost man in
Russia. His personality is striking
and commands instant attention, al
though he looks little like a Russian.
He is a man of heroic proportions, be,
ing more than six feet tall and OF
heavy build.
His head and face strongly resemble
Roscoe Conklings. With his quiet
dignity is a manner which seems all
most like settled melancholy. This
impression is heightened by his eyes,
which are particularly soft and kindly
and sad A sparse, grizzled beard COW
ars his face and his hair is gray and
quite thin behind.
He wore a well-fitting suit of gray
lsh tint, a round Panama hat, upstand-
ing collar, a ready tied black fourth
hand scarf and brown silk gfOyes- He
leaned heavily on black malacca
walking stick
M. White was the lion Of the ship on
the voyage, and his affability, his con-
tinued good humor and his democratic
ways were commented on freely.
Every day. and for the greater part of
each day, he was in the cafe and the
salon, where he evidently took much
pleasure in conversing on many sub
jects with those who spoke French.
In none of these conversations was
the subject of the peace conferences
touched on unless NJ Witte gave some
encouragement to such a trend in the
talk, and it was said that no one
abused his affabiIlty to the extent Of
asking any impertinent questions

their private dining room, but on the
occasion of the Captains dinner one Of
the passengers at the Captains table
offered NJ Witte his seat. He accept
ed on the condition that he should not
be expected to wear evening dress or
make an address. and in return asked
the gentleman who made the offer to
dine with him in his private suite.
AS the ship passed up the bay and
the skyscrapers of the city came into
view NJ. White expressed a desire to
go up on the bridge and view the vast
panorama Of craft and edifice He and
the reporters and the secretaries of the

Captain stood, and as each Of the great
buildings was pointed out to him he

roar from the pier. where crowd of
Russians who had followed the vessel
in the tug Lewis Pulver up the bay
had gathered. When the gangplan1S
