THEODORE ROOSEVELT
PASSES AWAY STUDENT. Y

Oyster Bay, L., Jan. Chico
dore Roosevelt, former President of
the United States died this morning
between 4 and 4:15. o'clock, while
asleep in his bed at ihs home on Saga
more Hill, in this place.
His physicians said that the imme-
date cause of death was clot of
blood which detached itself from q
vein and entered the lungs.
His sudden death took by surprise
his physicians as well as all others
who had been with him lately. 1t was
announced that the blood clot was
not directly due to the inflammatorv
rheumatism from which he had been
suffering for two months, but must
be traced to earlier conditions. One
OF the contributing causes was the
fever which he contracted during his
explorations in Brazil, when he dis
covered the River Of Doubt early in
1914. This fever left poison in the
blood which had been partial cause
OF several attacks Of illness which he
had suffered since that time.
Colonel Roosevelt was working
hard as late as Saturday, debating ar
tlcles and letters He spent Sunday
quietly, but looked and felt well, un-
til shortly before | o'clock, when he
had difficulty in breathing. After
treatment he felt better and return
ed to bed.
Mrs. Roosevelt looked in to see
how he was sleeping at o'clock this
morning. He then appeared normal.
Two hours later James Amos, an old
negro servant Of the family, former
ly with them at the White House.
thought that there was something
wrong with the manner in which Col
oncl Roosevelt was breathing. Amos
had been placed in the next room to
keep close watch over Colonel Roo
scvelt, and went at once to the bed
side He was alarmed at the hollow
sound Of his breathing and summoned
the trained nurse. When she ar
rivd, the breathing had stopped. DR..
George w. Fallcr, Of Oyster Bay, the
family physician, was summoned, and
found that life had left the body a
few minutes before.

Opposing Factions Line
Up For Continuation
of Article Ten Fight

Washington, Nov. 10.-With ap-
parently little change in the pro-
gram of procedure developed over
the weekend, opposing factions in
the Peace Treaty ratification fight
lined up to-day for a continuation of
the struggle over reservations.
To-day's contest revolved around
the reservation relating to Article 10
of the League of Nations covenant
which was recommended by the for
eign relations committee and which
the administration senators desired
most of all to defeat.
Except for the transposition of
one phrase, the reservation of Article
10 is the same as that which Pres
ident Wilson declared during his
western trip. he would regard as a
rejection of the Treaty. Its text fol-
lows:
THE United States assumes no
obligation to preserve the territorial
integrity or political independence of
any other country or to interfere
in controversy between nations,
whether members of the League or
not under the provisions of Article
10, or to employ the military or ma
val forces of the United States un-
der any article of the Treaty for any
purpose, unless in any particular
case the Congress, which, under the
constitution, has the sole power to
declare war or authorize the employ
bent of the military or naval forces
of the United States, shall by act or
joint resolution so provide

Officials and members of Congress-
did not agree with the statement of

that it was the intention of Com

its provisions. At the Department
of Justice 1t was pointed out that
an amendment to the act under
which unions would have been eX-
empted specifically was rejected.
The federation's statement was
read in the Senate to-day at the re-
quest of Senator LaFollette, Repub-
lican, Wisconsin. who explained his
request by saying that newspaper
criticisms of the strike had lt,en
read into the record in the past.
When the Senate clerk was about
half way through the statement,
Senator LaFollette withdrew his re-
quest.
ITS waste of time" he said. "It
is receiving attention of about one
per cent. of those present and con-
versation is general. Members ap-
parently do not want to near the
miners side"
Senator Norris, Republican, Ne
braska, objected to discontinuing the
reading and the clerk proceeded.
