all his plans for participation in the
funeral had been halted because of
the family's wishes that no flowers

dicated there was considerable anxiety
as to the number OF notables that
probably would come to the services.
1t is believed many well-known men
viii attend, despite the private nature
Of the ceremony, so many in fact, that
there will be no room for them.
At noon today many farmers who
had known Roosevelt personally COM
mented on his death as the ycame
into town in automobiles and wagons.
They stood in earnest little groups
with very grave faces discussing
their loss.
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge. of Bos-
ton. a lifelong friend of Colonel
Roosevelt. arrived from washington
today and called at Sycamore Hill.
1t was believed he would try, and
persuade Mrs. Roosevelt to allow a
public funeral to be held.
All Of the members OF the i'm
mediate family have arrived AZ Saga
more Hill. They appeared this morn
ing as though they had spent a Sleep
less night. Mrs. Roosevelt looked
on the point of sheer exhaustion. but
she had a smile for a group Of school
children from the Cove Neck public
school, who this morning brought a
simple little bouquet of flowers to
be placed upon the coffin.
A number of mounted policemen
have arrived here from New York
to help handle the crowd tomorrow.

dent.
"And all through the morning he
was accommodating luncheon guests. A
luncheon with him could grow from
an affair of four people to one OF
thirty within a few hours. He regu-
larry invited such a conglomeration
as, for instance, a Catholic priest, a
Presbyterian minister, a Jewish rabbi,
and Rough Rider to sit down at the
same meal. And everyone was the
bigger and broader for the experience.
Worst of it was, he never remEm-
bered to let the cook know how many
he would draw Into luncheon. He
might show up with four guests and
he might come with twenty. The
cook never knew, but she prided her
self on being always ready to rise to
the emergency. Like everyone else
in the household, she believed that
anything the Colonel did was right"
And then they tell how every noon
there were at least 300 men and wom-
en- lined up waiting for the privilege
OF grasping T. r. by the hand, as he
went from the offices to the house.
They recall Mrs. Roosevelt walking
down from the White House with her
husband just after breakfast, OF their
good-by at the door as he turned to
his executive duties and she returned
to her domestic affairs.
But the picture they all love bes:
is the picture of Roosevelt and that
"chip of the old block"-that ono who
was a httle boy then-who now lies
in a herO's grave on Flanders field.

best" they say, because Roosevelt
was never the President of the United

ne was finally forced TO stop because
Of weakness from loss Of blood.
Experts Were AstOunded.
Il has been asserted from time to
time by medical experts that it was
little short of a miracle that Colonel
Roosevelt survived the shooting. since
he decliped TO accept medical atten-
tion until several hours after the
shooting.
It is considered highly probable
that only the remarkable vitality of
the man and the fact that he kept
himself at at all times, kept him alive
in his battle OF nearly seven years to
overcome the effects Of the bullet
wound.
Should he, like Lincoln and Gar

Americas Presidents who have died
by the hands Of fanatics?

Lincoln died a few hours after he
was shot at Booths Theater in Wash
