 New York, Jan. 6.---Colonel Roose- welt suffered a pulmonary embolism which nearly cost him his life three weeks before he left Roosevelt hospi- tai on Christmas day, it was learned today. Nothing regarding this ap- proach to death has hitherto become known, but it was revealed today by Dr. Richards in telling of the Colo neps exact condition during his last illness
 In the same manner as his death was caused a clot of blood becama detached from a thrombosed vein. On the former occasion, however, the passage of this clot through the ar teries to the lungs or the brain was checked in time to save the patients life.
 Dr. Richards revealed in his statement that the ColonePs infam- matory rheumatism, from which he suffered acuteIy at times, was trace able twenty years back to an in- fected tooth. This infection spread to nearly all the joints in the Col oneIs body as the years went on. | Dr. Richards denied statements which have been published from time | to time that Colonel Roosevelt suf- | fered from sciatica as well as the ] rheumatism. The physician asserted also that the Colonel had never sui. | fered from mastoiditis as was report. ed when he went under an operation | about a year ago for an abscess ot the inner ear and that neither thi,
 operation nor the fever which be contracted while in South Americ. on hunting trip could be consid. cred contributory cause toward hi, | death.
