Washington Men

Washington, Jan. 6.--The death of

| the capital. Universal regret at the
passing of a greet figure in the nations

found sorrow was shown by many who
knew the former president personally,
and his political friends and antagon-
lists Joined in expressions Of admiration
for the man.
Men in all walks OF life were eager
for the details. Telephones into news
paper offices were kept busy with calls
from high officials of the government.
foreign diplomats and members Of con-
gress as the news spread.
On the streets everywhere the anxious
interest was apparent. Workmen on a
new building going up in the business
district quit to hear and discuss the
story
Both houses OF congress adjourned to
day as a mark of respect after adopting
resolutions of regret at the death OF
Colonel Roosevelt and providing for
the appointment Of committees to at
tend the funeral

ings today upon the announcement Of
the death of Colonel Roosevelt. and in
respect to the memory of tho former
president and commander in chief OF
the army and navy Secretary Daniels
and General March ordered flags at
half most on every ship and shore sta
ton Of the navy and at every army post
and camp at home and abroad.
The announcement was >cabled vto
President Wilson as soon as it reached
the White House The flag over the
executive mansion was lowered to half

Mrs. Nicholas Longworth and her hus-
band. Representative Longworth. of
Ohio. left Washington on an early train
for Oyster Bay.
Attaches at the White House. many
of whom havr served for years. wsre
among those most deeply touched by
the passing Of their former chief.
One of Colonel Roosevelt's real con-
tributions to the beauty Of Washington
was the remodeling of the White House
The executive offices were added and
the interior redecorated under his di-
rection. He did not allow the new Of
flee wing to interfere with the famous
tennis court where he frequently exer-
cised and which was destroyed by the
enlargement of the offices in succeed
ing administration.

NO AGREEMENT ON ITALY.
Attitude Of United States on Boundary
on Adratic Not Vet Defined.

on Adriatic Not Vet Defined.
Paris. Jan. s-The attitude Of the
United States toward the treaty be-
tween Italy and France, Great Britain
and Russia relating TO the eastern
coast of the Adriatic has not been
clearly defined as far as known.
In stating and describing the line
to which the Austrian troops must re-
tire, the armistice outlined the frontier
as it is defined in the treaty. This
was accepted by the interallied con-
ference but it is understood that Col.
f. NJ. House, the American represent
ative. stated that the designated from
tier as it stood in the treaty between
the four nations was not to be taken
as expressing any position by the
United States on that treaty.
The same situation was again pre-
sented when American Warships par
ticipated in carrying out the naval
clauses of the armistice with Austria
The Jugo- Slav element there mani
tested some opposition, but owing to
the dclicacy OF the issues involved the
question Of Americas attitude one way
or the other was deferred
Article Is of the treaty, provides that
1t shall be kept secret but the terms
have become knowk and are occupying
much attention in conference circles.
Article 4 provides that the future
treaty of peace will give TO Italy tho
Trentino. the whole of southern Tyrol
the cities Of Trieste, Gorilla and Grad
isca. the province OF lstrla and the
Istrian Islands.
Article gives Dalmatia and the Dal-
matian Islands to Italy. Other articlef
deal with Albania and zones in Asiatic
Turkey in case of Turkey being broken
up.

make it certain that they would never

This is an added obligation upon

early today at his home on Sycamore
Hill.
The colonel suffered severe attack
of rheumatism and sciatica on Ne"
Years day but none believed that his
illness would likely prove fatal.
The former president sat up most
of sunday and retired at II o'clock last
night. About a. m. Mrs. Roosevelt
who was the only other member OF the
family at oyster Bay, went to her aus-
bands room and found that he had
died during the night.
The immediate cause of Colonel
Roosevelts death was pulmonary en-
boiisrn or lodgment in the lung of a
clot from a broken vein, it was stated
by one Of his physicians.
Mrs. Roosevelt teiephoned to Col
Emlen Roosevelt, cousin of the former
president, and he came to the Roose-
welt home Immediately.
Children Widely Scattered.
Telegrams were dispatched to the
coloners children who were in other
parts Of the country. Two of the col
oners sons, Maj. Theodore Roosevelt
Jr., and Capt. Kermit Roosevelt are in
service abroad. Capt. Archie Roose-
welt and his wife left New York for
Boston, where the captains wife's
father is ill. Mrs. Ethel Derby and her
two children are in Aiken, S. c..
Details for the funeral have not f-een
arranged but an announcement is ex-
pectcd later today.

4 sssse"c.e attack Of rheumatism and
sciatica, from which he had been suf-
ferlng for some time. The rheuma-
tism affected his right hand and it be-
came swollen.
Three physicians had been in at
tendance on the colonel since he was
taken to the Roosevelt hospital seven
weeks ago. The patients trouble was
diagnosed as inflammatory rheuma-
tisln, which. according to one Of the
doctors, had affected practically every
joint in his body.
The colonel's physicians were J. A.
F'aller. OF oyster Bay, and DR.. j. Fl.
Richards and DR.. John II. Hartwell, Of
New York City.
Forty-eight hours before his death
the former president had been visited
by one Of his physicians, who stated

Il said, laughed and joked with him and

velt's desire also that no flowers be

Activs'to Very Last.
To the very last Colonel Roosevelt
was active in the interest Of his coun-
try. His program Of public addresses,
intended to help hearten the nation for
its part in the war and to strengthen
the resistance to enemy propaganda
and pacifism was interrupted late in
the fall when he entered hospital for
treatment Of his long-standing ailment,
but the colonel redoubled his efforts in
the writing Of editorials and public
statements. one Of the latter having
been read only last night at an assem-
blage arranged ~ the American De-
tense Society. His last day was spent
about his home reading and writing. .

before Christmas to spend the holiday

articles for the Kansas City Star and
other publications from II a. m. until
2 p. m. He ate well and slept like q
child. So marked had been his i'm
provement under the regime provided
at the hospital that Mrs. Roosevelt
who at the beginning remained with
her husband continuously. was impor-
tuned by him to rest. She went to
Oyster Bay, returned two or three
times a week to visit him and to bring
him table delicacies.
Two separate blood tests had been
made at the hospital, one by DR..
Richards and the other by DR.. Hart
; well. both Of which confirmed the dag
nosis OF the other. These tests, it was
said. indicated that the Colonel was
entirely free from any organic disease
and that his only trouble was the in
aammatory rheumatism. This ailment
was only pronounced ia his left leg
but at times 1t affected one of his
hands and arms.
