Seriously III Before.

New York, Jan. 6.-Colonel Roose-
welt suffered a pulmonary embolism
which ear cost him his life three
weeks before he left Roosevelt hospi-
tai on Christmas day, it was learned
today. Nothing regarding this APP
proach to death has hitherto become
known, but 1t was revealed today by
DIR. Richards in telling OF the colonel's
exact condition during his last illness.
In the same manner as his death
was caused, a clot Of blood became
detached from a thrumbosed vein. On
the former occasion. however, the
passage of this clot through the ar
teries to the lungs or the brain vas
checked in time to save the patients
life.
DR.. Richards revealed in his state
ment that the %colonels inflammatory
rheumatism from which he suffered
acutely at times. was traceable twenty
years back to an infected tooth. This
infection spread to nearly all the
joints in the coloners body as the
years went on.
Sciatica Not Cause.
Denial was made by DR.. Richards
Of statements which have been pub
lished from time to time that Colonel
Roosevelt suffered from sciatica as
we'll as rheumatism. The physician
asserted also that the colonel had
rever suffered with mastoiditis, as
was reported when he went under an
operation about a year ago for an
nbscess of the inner ear. and that
neither this operation nor the fever
which he contracted while in South
America on a hunting trip could in
any way be considered a contributory
cause toward his death.
When Colonel Roosevelt left Roos-
evelt hospital on Christmas day." DR..
Ts;ob rdc c,i ia tafho ifo11ouinC hn1lptin
, was made public:
"'Colonel Roosevelt has been sick
in Roosevelt hospital for the past
seven weeks suffering from a severe
attack of inflammatory rheumatism.
He responded readily to the ordinary
treatment for such cases n now is
able to go home
THAT statement was true, and was
given the Associated Press with
Colonel Roosevelt's approval.
while the colonel was in the hos
rital he had a pulmonary embo!ism
about three weeks before he went
home. which nearly cost. him his life
at that time. This was caused by Il
c!ot of blood breaking away from a
t~hrumbosed vein.
Since leaving the hospital he he'd
been doing we'll until last night when
he died in his sleep. The cause was
probably another emholism-whether
to the lungs. as I believe. or to the
brain. as nay be possible. only an
autopsy could determine. There will
be no autopsy in this case unless one
is requested by the Roosevelt family"
One Of the things that is believed to
have contributed more than any
other to the colonel's breakdown was
the death last fall of his son, Lieuten-
ant Quentin Roosevelt, the aviator. in
action in France. Proud of his heroic
sons achievements, Colonel Roosevelt
bore up under the sorrow of his death
with a fortitude that was in keeping
with his spirit in public life. Friends
said that while the father did not
carry his heart on his sleeve" he suf-
fered most poignant griefs In silence

and tried to forget them by plunging
harder than ever into his work.
Quentin was killed in combat July
II, 1913, at Chamery, France. For
weeks previous to confirmation Of his
death there were reports that he had
possibly been taken prisoner by the
Germans and might u r up alive.
This suspense added to the distress of
the Roosevelt household.
When the death was officially con
irmed General Pershing cabled Col
onel Roosevelt that if desired, the
body of Quentin would be removed to
paid the fullest honors to the dead
aviator and the Roosevelt family de-
clined to accept the war departments

In sletter to General Peyton c.
March, chief of staff, Colonel Roose-
Welt wrote:
"Mrs. Roosevelt and 1 wish to enter
a most respectful but most emphatic
protest against the proposed course SO
far as our son Quentin is concerned.
We have always believed that:
where the tree falls,
"'There let it lie
1--WE know that many good persons
feel entirely different, but to us it is
painful and narrowing long after
death to move the poor body from
which the soul has fed.
1--WE greatly prefer that Quentin
shall continue to lie on the spot where
he fell in battle and where the foeman
buried him.
after the war is yer Mrs. Roose-
welt and l intend to visit the grave
and then to have q small stone put
up by us, but not disturbing what has
already been erected to his memory
by his friends and American comrades
in arms"
Colonel Roosevelt has been looking
forward to his journey overseas with
mingled feelings of sadness and pride.
No plans had been made for his de-
thought that il his condition i'm
proved, he and Mrs. Roosevelt might
start some time in May or June.
Washington Stirred.
Washington, Jan. 6.-The death of
Colonel Roosevelt stirred and shocked
the capital, Universal regret at the
passing OF a great figure in the ma
tons life was evident on every hand.
Profound sorrow was shown by the
many who knew the former president

Men in all walks of life were eager

calls from high officials of the govern

of congress as the news spread. On
the streets everywhere the anxious in
tercst was apparent. Workmen on a
new building going up in the business

story.
The announcement was cabled to
President Wilson as soon as it reach

the executive mansion was lowered to
half mast and this soon was done also
at all other public buildings.

Smith with Jefferson because the

an investigation that might set
Smith into trouble startled her.
