Col. Roosevlts visit with Prsi-

his predecesso spent more than half
an hour together and talked of most
everything except politics. a good

JACOB RiIs DEAD
Author, Social Worker and Friend Of
Roosevelt


A life of varied activity came to a
close Tuesday when Jacob Riis, au-
thor. reformer and social worker.
once characterized by Theodore
Roosevelt as New York's most use.
full citizen, died at his summer home
at Barre, Mass Mr.. Riis's end was
peaceful. For a day or more he had
been only half-conscious most of the
time. Although obvious to what was
going on about him, he occasionally
rallied sufficiently to recognize his
wife and his son, Edward, who were
at his bedside. His life ended while
he appeared to be sleeping.
Chronic myocarditis or degenera-
ton of the heart walls was the cause.
of death. For more than 10 years.
Mr.. Riis had been subject to heart
trouble. but ii was not until year
ago that his condition caused any con
Germ. About two months ago he suf-
fered a breakdown while on a lecture
tour in the South and was removed
to a sanitarium at Battle Creek
Mich, where he remained for mon
than a month. He arrived at Barn
on the 10th, but his trip proved such
a strain upon his weakened heart
that he collapsed in an automobile|
when almost in sight of his SUMMER
home. He was 65 years old and was
born in Denmark, but came to this
country at the age of 81.

ROOSEVELT VICTIM OF JOKE
New River Travelled Weekly Says
Man Who Surveyed District


Milwaukee, Wis, May 26.--Colonel
Roosevelt is a victim OF joking South
American natives. thinks Walter Mob
lett. who passed six years as a sur
veyer in the country explored by Col
onel Roosevelt and his party. The
river OF which Colonel Roosevelt
speaks is more than likely an outlet
for the rubber plantations and as
such is travelled weekly by the nativ-
es, although ] agree with Colonel
Roosevelt that Il never bore a name, ="
said Mr.. Noblett. but there are
hundreds of other rivers in Brazil
that are unnamed and IL would not
be difficult matter to find new riv
er in the interior. ran a prelirki-
nary survey for the Brazilian and
Bolivian governments through the
country travelled by Colonel Roose-
vel. There is also a railroad survey
ed through this section which is to
run from Mawrado Falls TO Australia
and thence to Santa Cruz, for il will
connect with the Argentine railroad.
SO, you see. it would be rather diff
cult for Colonel Roosevelt to find a
new waterway the same siae he
speaks of in this country. read
with much interest the charges made
by Lander. He knows what he is
talking about. met him coming
down the river as was going up
some years ago, and he knows the
country"
The Brazilian natives are the
greatest fairs in the world and |
think they have INDUCED in a joke at
the Colonel's expense.
