grave disorder might result. Bloodshed

Washington, May 27.-Col. Theodore
Roosevelt came back to the capital and
into nine hours he crowded speech
on his jungle expedition, a call on Presi-
dent Wilson, political conference OF
the first Importance with the Progress
sives, visit to the Smithsonian instr
tute, meeting with members of the
diplomatic corps and dinner with old
friends, besides the dozen of impromptu
receptions from crowds in the street.
The colonels collar melted away in
the crowds that struggled to shake
hands with him like in campaign days.
The colonel said he felt bully.
Reports that he would meet the Re-
publican leaders came to naught 1t was
learned one Republican autographed for
an appointment before the colonel left
Oyster Bay Roosevelt declined to dis
cuss the matter.
Col. Roosevelt met President Wilson
in the cool breezes on the south portico.
Wilson and Roosevelt had a lemonade

joy their meeting greatly.
The colonel last night told a story of

to the geographic society. The colonel
was in evening dress and seemed to feel

JACOB RIs DIES IN SUMMER HOME.
Noted Author and Social Worker Passes
AWAY at 65.

Barre, Mass, May 27.--Jacob Riis of
New York, authority on sociological
problems and well known author, died
here at l:45 o'clock yesterday afternoon
after a long illness. Taken sick three
weeks ago, he was brought to his sum
mer home here, but had steadily failed
in strength.
Mrs. Riis and son were at Mr.. Riis'
bedside when the end came. Mr.. Riis
came here about two weeks ago from
a sanitarium at Battle Creek, Mich,
where he had been a patient for sew
eral months. He was suffering from
heart trouble of long standing. The
journey proved too great a strain on the
weakened heart and Mr.. Riis collapsed
in an automobile NOT far from his sum-
mer home. He rallied the next day, but
soon became weak again.
"Jake Riis is probably the most valu-
able citizen in New York" That was
Theodore Roosevelt's dictum.
Riis was the one man Roosevelt Sc
lected from among millions and placed
before the country as an ideal citizen
"You know am very fond of Mr.. Riis."
said President Roosevelt in speech in
1903 at Richmond Hill, "and the reason
why is because when preach about de-
cent citizenship / can turn to him and
think he has practiced just what / have
been preaching"
One Of the most striking things in
Riis' career was his friendship with
Roosevelt That began in 1890, when
Roosevelt was civil service commission
er and Riis had just written How the
Other Half Lives" Impressed with the
vigorous character of the book. Roose-
welt went around to the old police head
quarters in Mulberry street, where Riis
was working as a reporter for The Sun
He found Riis away but left note ask
ing him TO CALL Thus began a memo
rable friendship between two great
Americans.
Riis at that time had been member
of The Sun staff for a good many years
Most of his books were written while he |
was attached to that paper.
