Theodore Roosevelt
 Died Monday Morning

QleQ In ms sleep early MOnoay at his home on Sagamore Hill, Oyster Bay, N. Y.
 Death followed a severe attack of rheumatism and sciatica on New Years Day. The former president sat up most of Sunday, and retired at II O clock Monday.
 About o'clock that morning Mrs. Roosevelt. the only other member of the family at Oyster Bay. went to her husbands room and found he had died during the night.
 Colonel RooseYelt's last illness may be said to date from last February. On February 5. it was announced that he had been removed from his home in Oyster Bay to the Roosevelt hospital in New York City, following an operation on one of his ears. Soon after his arrival at the hos pital he underwent two more operations for the removal of diseased tissue in his infected ear and it was admitted at the time that he was seriously ill. He remained at the hospital until March 3.
 During May and June the colonel made a number of ad- dresses. speaking at Springfield. and in New York. Tn June he made a tour of the West during which he suffered a slight attack of erysipelas in one of his legs but refused to give up his en- agreements. Early in November the colonel was taken to the Roosevelt hospital for the treat ment of rheumatism and sciatica. While in the hospital reports be- came current that the colonel was more seriously ill than his physicians would admit. Colo |nel Roosevelt returned to his home on Christmas Day, remark ing as he stepped to the porch that he was feeling bully"
 On the day before Christmas when Colonel Roosevelt left the hospital to spend the holiday in Oyster Bay. his secretary in speaking of his condition. said he was in slight pain at intervals but apparently was far from being seriously i'll. On the Sun day previous to his departure for his home he had dictated ar ticles for the Kansas City Star and other publications from Il a. m. until 2 D. m. He ate well and slept like child.
 So marked had been his im- provement at the hospital that Mrs. Roosevelt, who at the be. ginning remained with her hus- band continuously, was impor- tuned by him to rest. She went to Oyster Bay. returning two or three times week to visit him and bring hum table delicacies of which he was especially fond.
 Two separate blood tests had been made at the hospital. one by Dr. Richards and the other by Dr. Hartwell. each of which confirmed the diagnosis 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 inf1ammatory rheuma- tism. This ailment was only pronounced in his left leg, but at times. it affected one of his hands and arms.
 In the same manner as his death was caused. a clot of blood became detached from 8 thrum- bosed vein. On the former oc- casion. however. the passage of this clot through the arteries to the lungs or the brain was checked in time to save the patients life.

FIGHT; 8 KILLED
Battle Starts Over Negro Agita-
tors Acts at Bogalusa,
Louisiana.
ONE Ex-SOLDIER IS WOUNDED
Law and Order League Men in Attempt
to Arrest TroubIe-Maker Start
Big Fight in Little Town
Down South.

BOgalusa. La, Nov. 25.-Three al
legged agitatOrs were killed and one
was perhaps MORALLY wounded in q
rifle and pistol battle with members of
the Law and Order league here. The
Law and Order men suffered only one
casualty, Jules Leblanc, an ex-soldier,
who was wounded IN his right arm.
Those killed were:
Lum Z. Williams, president of the
Central Trades and Labor council of
BOgaIusa
Walter BOUchillOn, one of Williams
lieutenants.
Thomas Gains, another of Williams
lieutenants.
S. ]. O'ROurke was shot three times
and probably will not survive. He is
wounded in the left hand, right arm
and right lung.
The shooting followed an attempt by
Williams to prevent the arrest of Sol
Dakus, negro, who had been trying
to organize the colored labor of Boga-
lusa.
City officers spent the night comb
ing the negro quarter of the city for
Dakus. They were later informed Will
liams was hiding the man they wanted.
That wasn't quite true. Williams
rather was Haunting him. He had
turned Dakus out of his hiding place
and the negro was parading Columbia
street, one of the busiest thOrOughfares
of BOgalusa, with BOuchillOn and
O'ROurke as a guard of honor. Each
white man carried a shotgun.
The parade" was over before the
officers reached Columbia street. 1t
had lasted just long enough to serve
notice on the tOwnspeOple that
Dakus was under Williams pro-
lection.
When the police learned the negro
was in Williams garage, a whistle was
sounded as a signal to the Law and
Order league members to assemble ct
the city hall ready for action. About
80 of them, most of them ex-sOldiers,
responded. They marched on the VIII
liams garage.
Williams was in his office with
BouchillOn, O'Rourke and Jim Will
liams, his brother.
Come out, Lum!' called one of the
officers.
"All right" agreed Williams. "Tll
be right out"
But he didn't come. After waiting
several minutes the officer repeated
his demand.
IF you want me, come and get me"
was Williams reply.
As he spoke, one of his companions
turned loose on the posse with high
powered rifle 1t was in this fuSillade
that Leblanc was wounded
The fire was returned with rifles and
pistols. Perhaps 80 shots were eX-
changed Then the battle was over,
with three of the agitatOrs dead and
another dying.

Washington, Nov. 21.-Warning that

the United States and Mexico, for
which the government of Mexico must

Il want especially to call to your at
tention," it said, that / was kidnapped

fee, that even a part of the money
stolen was United States consular

U. S. FIGHTS H. C. |.
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE TO
STOP PRoFITEERlNG.
Tells How Government Is Proceed
ing to Reduce Household Bills.

Washington, Nov 24.-The depart
ment of justice is conducting cam
paign against the high cost of living.
Practically all of the functions of the
food administration have been turned
over to the department of justice.
Howard E. Figg, special assistant to
the attorney general in charge of the
campaign against high living costs, has
written the following article, showing
how the government is proceeding in
It's efforts to reduce the household
bills.
"Shortly after the armistice was
signed prices on practically all the
necessities of life started skyward.
The fever of speculation was causing
inflated values and the necessity for
curbing this upward tendency in
prices was brought to the attention OF
the department of justice.
'The attorney general was asked to
undertake to reduce the high cost of
living
Congress finally passed the amend
ments to the food control act on the
twenty-second day of October.
"At the season of the year that sta
tistics show us that all prices have
had an upward tendency in previous
years, the department has been able
through its campaign to stop the up
ward tendency of prices and in prac-
tically all food commodities to show
a general reduction of from 2 to 30
per cent.
'The department plans through its
present field organizations by prose
cutting to the limit of the law the prof
iteer and hOarder and by an extensive
educational campaign to bring certain
facts before the American people.
'It is planned through this cam
paign of education, by a direct appeal
to the women, to decrease the demand
on the necessaries until supply has a
chance TO catch up.
production must be increased to
meet the demand and until such time
as production has increased demand
must be decreased to allow the law
of supply and demand to become OPP
erative."

Just Rats.

For want of a pied piper of Hame-
lin, the British board of agriculture
is using the next best thing to get rid
of the rats and mice-a bill.
The house of parliament Uttered
when the bill was introduced, says "a
LondOner." The titterers did not know
that the rat has been described as the
most expensive animal maintained by
man. He costs in damage anything
up to $200,000000 a year-as much as
the whole government subsidy TO the
farming industry. He spreads bubonic
plague and other diseases among men
and animals alike. He is of 90 earth
ly use except as scavenaer, and
there the remedy is worse thar the dis
ease. The fat has gone forth; he
must be exterminated wherever he
shows his head-in stacks, in gra-
naries, in warehouses. in the holds Of
vessels. The mouse, too, IF less HARM
full, is just as useless as his big rela-
tive-and the only living creature
which will regret his disappearance
is the cat.

upon a time every Seagull had lived in
Scotland and if every story had been
first told there"
"No," said Mrs Seagull, "only this
particular story am going to tell you
was told down through the Seagull
family, and through a branch of the
Seagull family which came from Scot
land.
"They heard the story there-there
where the coasts are wild and rugged
and where the Seagulls soar. But Sea-
gulls and stories are not only Scotch,
gracious, gracious no. Seagulls are
Irish, Seaguus are of different coun-
tries but mostly we'd say Seagulls
were of the coasts. and of the water
and the air and the waves and the,
foam.
"But this story goes that the people
where my dear great, great grand
mother lived used to believe if they
saw any of the Seagull family flying
over the land; or alighting on the land
luey WOulu D6S IiISIu W ~ away, Luz
they believed that when the Seagulls
were on the land the weather would
be bad.
"They said that when the Seagulls
were on the coast, flying or resting
over or on the beach then the weather
would be good, and as they liked fine
weather they liked to see the Seagulls
by the water.
"This was the story which came
over, and which l am telling you long
years after it was first told.
''There is a good deal of truth in 1t.
too, but not so much. for some of my
family moved to coast where there
were storms, all, all the time, and
they all loved it and wouldn't move
away for anything. Still it's a nice
old story with scrap of truth attach
ed, a scrap" ended Mrs. Seagull, as
they all flew up in the air and then
coasted happily along.
