Louse. city hall. the Strathmore hotel
and at the public schools were carried
at hslf-mast during the day as tri-
butte of respect to the dead. The
period designated in the mayors re-
quest corresponded with the time set
for the funeral service Of the former

the obsequies took place. A memo
rial service was held in the district
court room at l0:45 this morning at
which Judge James L. Cooper deliv-
erred an address on the life and
achievements of the deceased.
In all of the schools OF the city
homage was paid by the pupils to the
memory of Col Roosevelt as a pa
fr.ot. ms a man OF high integrity and
of sterling qualities OF head and heart.
During the greater part of the time

many OF the lower grades stood rever-
entity and sang America "a hymn
breathing love of country such as
Col. Roosevelt exemplifed In his life
and encouraged in the lives OF others.
