(Washington Bureau Omaha Bee.)

Washington, Jan. E. Especial
Telegram.) Washington officially
and unofficially was profoundly
shocked by the news of Colonel
Roosevelt's death. There were
actual tears in the eyes of many
men, for the late president had
probably, in the national capital
more real, intimate personal friends
than any American who has ever
occupied the White House.
Among the elder newspaper men
his death was the subject of many
interesting stories in the press gal
leries of the two houses of con-
gress.
Senator Norris said that Colonel
Roosevelt was one of his friends,
but any thought that he might have
to express as to the passing of a
great citizen, would be lost in the
acclaim that would go from
kings, and emperors and others high
in authority and so he would not
hazard tribute.
