been a conspiracy against the life of
Col. Roosevelt was ended by the death
OF Macmillan Caxello, twenty.four
years old, and Miguel Ortez, the same
age, both Of the United States Of Co
lombia. The men were asphyxiated
by gas in their room in the Fifth
Avenue hotel. That these men planned
to kill Roosevelt and that they even
visited Mercy hospital for that pur-
lose is an established fact, say the
police. These men, ft Is said, have fol-
lowed Roosevelt for months. They Wis
tied the Mercy hospital in company
with Luis Monilla, son Of Colombian
senator, whose whereabouts are un.
known. They insisted on seeing
Roosevelt but were turned away. A
letter was found in their room warn
ing Col. Roosevelt that "the time had
come for you to mediate on the black.
est spot in the history Of your life."
Remember" added the men in the
letter, "that although you are and
have been great world citizen, the
homage you received when you came
back from Africa was marred by the
refusal Of the Vicar Of Christ to see
