SHOEMAKER POET
 FALLS ID DEATH
John 5. Rusky Was Intimate Friend Of Late President Mckinley

i New York, Feb. 19-John s. Rusky, i Sr.. maker of shoes for presidents of I the United States and for Wall street i fnanciers. was killed today when he i fell from the fourth floor Of Gra-
 mercy Park hotel.
 ! Police reported il suicide. The ] son of the aged shoemaker declared, 1 however, that his father had been overcome by dizziness and fallen to his death.
 Some folks called Husky the cob bier of Wall street. others knew him as the shoemaker poet or the sing ing philosopher" In his little shop tucked away in q skyscraper in the heart of the financial section, he had made shoes for Presidents Mckinley and Roosevelt. Scores of the biggest men in Wall street were his patrons. Only recently he equipped Senator Hiram Johnson with pair Like President Coolidge's cobbler- mentor in Northampton Mass, Husky was more than a shoemaker to his patrons. President Mckinley reyeled in his vast store of homely philosophy and political lore, as did President Roosevelt and the scores of noted statesmen and financiers whose feet he measured and shod. They came for shoes and stayed to chat.
 When his little ground floor shop was razed to make place for a sky scraper a few years ago, Husky re- tired But his patrons wouldn't have 1t. They missed him and his shoes and, seeking him out in his Brook lyn home, induced him to install his crude paraphernalia in the new building. There he cut and begged and sewed and fit until last night.
 He visited an old crony in Man haitian during the evening, and had gone to the Gramercy Park hotel for the night rather than make the long journey to Brooklyn. Guests heard a crash outside his window at day. break, and found his body in tho courtyard.
 An old man, near-sighted and deaf, bent over his last in Rusky's two- room shop this morning, unaware that his employer of many years was dead and oblivious to the insistent ringing of the telephone that was try ing to toll him about ii.
 A reporter found him there and called his attention to the dangling telephone bell. He answered it, shook his head sadly. and returned to his cobbler's bench.
 "Well,' he muttered, "so old John is gone They'll miss him--and his shoes. Guess I'll have 10 stay. I've got some shoes to finish They were promised for today"
