LOCAL COMMITTEE MUST RAISE
$500 FOR PLENTYWOOD; S17OO
FOR SHERIDAN co.

Helena, Jan. 9.-The American Red
Cross society is squarely behind the
American Society for Relief in the
Near East in its coming campaign,
January IL to 10, to raise $50, 900
for Armenian and Syrian destitution,
according to Leo Faust, head of the
drive in Montana, who has estab-
lished headquarters here.
Mr.. Faust cites as his authority Fl.
P. Dawson, the national chairman OF
the American Red Cross, who recent
" indorsed the 100000 campaign
in the strongest terms. The following
is quoted from a formal statement
made by Mr., Dawson:
"The American Red Cross during
the past eighteen months has contri-
buted. four and one-half million dol
lars to this committee for relief IN
Armenia and Syria. We have been
working in the closest cooperation
with that committee and have every
faith in their work. Red Cross relief

led by them. Therefore we have CO.

OF
u. s. DIED JAN. 6

Oyster Bay, N. j., Jan. 6.-Col
theodore Roosevelt died at his home
Sycamore Hill, at Ais o'clock thi.
morning.
A clot of blood on the heart caused
death, it was stated at the house.
The colonel went to bed last night
feeling well.
The end came when there was nc
one in the room but his valet.
Roosevelt returned home Christmas
day from Roosevelt hospital, where he
had been i'll for some time with sci
atica.
Immediately after he died, his son
Archie Roosevelt, who is in Boston,
was notified. He started for home at
once.
The house at Sycamore Hill was
closed and nobody was allowed to en-
ter the grounds after the Colonel
died. 1t was stated that physicians
would issue an official announcement
later in the day.
Doctors Statement
The nurse was at the house be-
cause Roosevelt was suffering from
an attack of infammatory rheuma-
tism, which was very severe in his
right hand. This attack developed
last Wednesday,. Miss Josephine
Stryker, his secretary, was one Of
the first who arrived. She had been
notified of the end early this morn,
ing by Mrs. Roosevelt.
The following statement was given
by DR.. G. w. Faller, Oyster Bay, the
physician who last saw the Colonel:
Colonel Roosevelt retired at 12
o'clock last night feeling much better.
At 4:15 o'clock this morning he simp-
ly ceased to breathe. Death was
caused probably by a pulmonary en-
bolism."
This pulmonary embolism, DR.. Fall
er explained, is a blood clot upon one
Of the arteries of the lungs.
Funeral Last Wednesday
The funeral was held Wednesday
from Christ Episcopal church at Oys-
ter Bay, Rev. Dr. George Talmadge
and interment was in
Young Memorial cemetery at Oyster
Bay Cove.
At the time of the death, the only

operated with them by the contribu-
tions mentioned above, instead of or
ganizing new units for this field"
The American Committee for Re-
lief in the Near East is the only Or
ganization prepared or preparing to
assist the stricken millions in Arnle-
mia and Syria. In that district raw
aged by Turks, Kurds and other saw
ages since the great war began, there
are four million men, women and
children who are face to face with
starvation, who are without clothing
or shelter, who surely will die unless
America comes to their relief at once.
No assistance may be expected
from any other land or nation. Eur
ope is torn with dissension and, in
deed, has her own feeding and houe-
ing problems to consider. The United
States government is sending shipload
after shipload of food to the countries
of Europe, including Germany, 5ut
not scrap of paper is going to the
starving peoples Of the Near East,
the unfortunate victims of German
and Turkish barbarisrn.
Plainly it is up to the people of
Montana to contribute the $4,000
that is. this states share of the $780,
000,0 900 that will be raised by the
American Committee for Relief in
the Near East.

persons in the house at Sycamore
Hill were Colonel Roosevelt, his wife
and the servants.
Colonel Roosevelt spent Sunday
reading, conversing with Mrs. Roose-
velt, and chatting with DR.. Faller,
who left him apparently much i'm
proved and in excellent spirits. He
also dictated a number of letters.
Despite his recent return from the
hospital, where he was confined for
week by an attack of sciatica, with
painful complications, he had much
of his old vigor. When DR.. Faller
left him, Roosevelt was laughing and
called Good night" most. cheerfully.
Died in Sleep
At midnight he retired. Mrs. Roose-
velt sat with him for while; then as
he fell asleep, she went to her own
room. At 4:15 a. M, the man SER
want became alarmed and called the
nurse. There was nothing that could
be done. Roosevelt was dead.
Mrs. Roosevelt was called. She
took the shock bravely. Mr.. Faller
arrived few minutes later. Roose-
welt lay as if still sleeping. He did
not move in the bed as he died, but
lay just as he was when his wife
stepped out of the room shortly after
midnight.
The man who was with Roosevelt
at the end was James Amos, a negro,
who has been his personal attendant
ever since he was in the White House.
Services to Be Private
A slight CONFUSION of the Colonei's
face was noticed by Amos; who called
the nurse.
Before the funeral at Christ church
there will be a service at the house.
The family wants no flowers to be
sent by outsiders; and desires that
the services, both at the home and in
the church, be private.

the Colonel, has started from Aiken,

A. {. M. MUCH IN EVIDENCE AT
MONTANA STATE CAPITOL TO-
FIGHT FOR LABOR LEGISLATION
SILVER BOW IN TROUBLE ALREADY

TO as a socialist, when it now appears
that he is the only real democrat here
from Butte. People, however, are
considering the source, the A. C. NJ.
and its ever lying press, and are in
cllned to laugh at the joke.
The Butte Daily Bulletin appears
to be the most sought after paper in
Helena today, as the people feel that
the doings of the legislators will be
reported from standpoint of the
people and not through the smoked
glasses of the little tn gods on the
sixth floor of the Hennessy building
and the lying editors Of the A. C. M.
newspapers.
c. W. Belden of Fergus county
was elected speaker of the house at
the republican caucus here last night
and today will be formally confirmed
by the vote of his party when the
house is organized by the majority
side.
There were four other contestants.
as follows: E. H. Cooney, Cascade;
Ronald Higgins, Missoula; Fred l..
Gibson, Park; c. A. Rasmussen, Daw-
son.
Cooney withdrew and the vote on
the first ballot stood: Beluen, 2S;
Higgins, %; Gibson, Z; Rasmussen,
6. Gibson and Rasmussen then with
drew and the vote On the second ba'-
lot stood: Belden, 35; Higgins, 29.
Following custom of long stand
ing, unless the contest of Silver Bow
seats should interfere, the two houses
will meet in joint session, probably
Tuesday at noon, with Lieutenant
Governor Mcdowell presiding. They
will then notify Gov. S. v. Stewart
that they are ready to hear his annn-
al message. With a contest looming
over the seating of the Silver Bow
delegation, it is possible that the pro-
cedure of former years will not OBJ
tain in some respects.

Anyway the meeting was anything
but harmonious; the outcome will be
that three bills will be presented
praying for divisions: one by Balm
vile, calling for a county in the
southeast corner (Froid included); an
other by Wolf Point for a county in
the southwest corner and one by the
Observation-Disclosures patriots
for Main line county along the lines
as proposed in the meeting.
Culbertson SearchHght: At the
County Division meeting held at Balm
vile last Sunday afternoon, every
town along the main line was repre-
sented as follows:
Wolf Points Poplar, Brockton, Cul-
bertson, Bainville, Mondak, McCabe.
While McCabe is not on the main
line, that territory is included in the
proposed new county. Froid also sent
a delegation, headed by Banker J.
w. Schnitzler, but as Froid is not in
cluded in the new county lines, her
delegates were ruled out.
The lines were agreed upon SUBJ
stantially as outlined in the Search
light last week, the north boundary
being about three miles south of Froid
and taking in the whole south half. of
Sheridan County, including Wolf
Point.
The meeting was harmonious with
the exception of an objection now
and then from MIR. Schnitzler of
Froid, who seeing it was no use tc
quickly subsided.
It was left to Chairman Newcomb
to appoint one man from each town
ON the main line to form committee
to draft bill and to fix up the list of
officers. Mondak was agreed upon as
the temporary county seat, and the
fight for permanent county seat will
occur at the general election in 1920.
Poplar Standard: Bainville enter
tanned the Sheridan county splitters
asst Sunday, where very enthusias-
tic meeting was held. 1t was decid-
I'd that a bill should be drawn and
presented at the coming session of the
legislature for the purpose OF Great
ng a new county out of the southern
lalf of Sheridan county. A commit
zee representing all the towns in the
proposed new county will meet this
week and draft the bill.
Representatives from all parts of
he proposed new county both merch-
ants and farmers were at this meeting
md it developed that everyone was in
'avor of dividing the county. The
1uestion of locating the county seat
vas one that required considerable az
ention as each city felt their particu-
ar location was the most desirable.
However, after a very spirited discus
ion the decision of those at the meet
ng of the previous week was adhered
o and Mondak selected for the loca-
ion of the temporary county seat.
