AUTHOR AND SOCIAL WORKER
HAD CHEcKERED LIFE
WORKED FOR POOR.

Barre, Mass, May 25.-Jacob A.
RIis, the author and social worker.
died here today.
Jacob August Riis became. through
his work in behalf of the poorer peo-
pie in New York, "the most useful
cillzen' Of the metropolis, according
to tribute once paid to him by Theo.
dore Roosevelt his intimate friend.
As an almost penniless immigrant.
he obtained knowledge of the slums
at first hand and found conditions
there SO repellant that he consecrated
his whole life to warfare against
wretchedness.
AS reporter on the New York
Tribune, and later on the New York
Sun, Rjis took up his real work in
slum fighting. While attending TO
routine duty as police reporter. he
worked day and night to arouse the
people to the need of improved liy.
ing conditions. One of the first of
his campaigns was against the impur.
ity of the city water, and it was his
hght which finally led to the purchase
Of the Croton watershed to assura
sale drinking water for New York.
He brought sunlight to the tene.
ment districts by forcing the destruc.
tlop Of rear tenements. He entirely
cleared Mulberry Bend, one of the
worst tenement sections in the CITY.
and replaced the squalid homes by
shady parks.
Theodore Roosevelt was police
commissioner Of New York when Riis
attacked the evils of police station
odglng houses. He won his point.
md incidentally a strong ally. in Mr.
roosevelt. Riis drove bake.shops ont

assage of the briefest. wisest and

After twenty-seven years as a re.

serve for the Animals.
Oklahoma City, May 25.-An Offer
to furnish the state of Oklahoma live
elk from the Rocky mountain region
in the vicinity of Yellowstone park
has been received by Don Lawhead
secretary to the state fish and game
warden.
Each state is allotted fifty elk from
Yellowstone park under an act of CON
gress, application to be made to the
secretary of the interior. The letter
states that there are more elk in Wy
ommg than in any other state in the
union. In the summer months most
of them are found within the boun-
daries of Yellowstone park, but in
winter they are divided into two
herds one grazing along the Yellow
stone river north of the park and the
Others in Jackson Hole. Congress has
appropriated $4,000 and Wyoming
$4,000 to feed these elk, and expert
are employed.
Oklahoma has no game preserve
and hence is not in a position TO
make requisition for its allotment
If Elk
