FOUND BY MRS. ROOSEVELT IN BED AFTER DEATH CAME AS HE PEACEFULLY SLEPT. • - Oyster Bay, N. Y.,-Jani 6.—T heqdore Roosevelt, former president of the. United States, died at his home, Sagamore Hill, here early this morning, probably about 4:15 o’clock, The immediate cause of death was pulmonary embolism, or a lodgment in the lung of a clot from a broken vein. Mrs. Roosevelt w r as the only othe/ member of the family in the home at the time, and she reached his bedside a-few minutes after the end. A few minutes before, James Amos, a young colored man, personal servant of Mr Roosevelt for many years, noticed that Mr. Roosevelt was breathing heavily in his sMep, and went to summon Mrs Roosevelt and a nurse. When they arrived at the bedside death had taken place. Mr. Roosevelt suffered a severe attack of rheumatism and sciatica on New Year’s day, but none believed that his illness would prove fatal. He returned from Roosevelt Hospital on Christmas day. The former president sat up most of Sunday and retired at 12 o’clock last night. Immediately following the discovery of her. husband’s death, Mrs. Roosevelt telephoned to Colonel Emien Roosevelt, cousin of the former president, and he came to the Roosevelt home at once. Telegrams were sent to the Roosevelt children who were in other parts of the country. Two of the Colonel’s sons, Major Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., and Captain Kermit Roosevelt, are in service abroad Captain Archie Roosevelt and his wife are in Boston, where the father of the Captain’s wife died Saturday night.

They were followed by several intimate friends of the family, shock to the people of Oyster Bay, as Mr. Roosevelt’s death came as a friends knew /that he was about the house the greater part of yesterday, reading'and doing some writing. Telegrams of condolence and sympathy began to pour in from all parts of the country as soon as the news of Mr. Roosevelt’s death became known.

The former president came to his home on Sagamore Hill from the Roosevelt Hospital on Christmas day, but a week later was stricken with a severe attack of sciatica? from which he had been suffering fer some time. The rheumatism affected his right hand and it became much swollen. He remained in his room and efforts were made to check the trouble. Flags were placed at half mast in Oyster Bay today. Mr. Roosevelt spent Sunday evening readng, conversing with Mrs. Roosevelt and chatting -with Dr. Faller, wh ofound him apparently much improved and in excellent spirits. He also dictated a number of, letters. When Dr. Faller left him Mr. Roosevelt was laughing and calledJ'Good night” most cheerily. He refared at midnight. _ Three physicians, had been attending Mr. Roosevelt since he was taken to Roosevelt Hospital, seven weeks ago, to be treated for what was believed to be sciatica. The patient’s trouble was later diagnosed as inflammatory rheumatism, which, according to one of the doctors, had affected practically every joint in his body. His physicians were Dr. J. A.

NAMES HIS PLACE AFTER HOME STATE

Mr. Leslie, Clark, of Rensselaer, Ind., who is here looking after improvements on ’his plantation, . the dormer Jeff Lea place, four mites from Liberty, has named the place in honor of his home state, and calls it “Indiana Live Oak Farm.’’ There is a beautiful large live oak in the yard, planted by Mr. Lea about twenty-five years ago, and this part of the name was suggested by a sight of the tree. The place is managed by Mr. William Porter, who is assisted by Mr. H. J. Robinson, both of these gentlemen being natives of. the Hoosier state. Mr. Clark, by the way, is a newspaper man, having devoted all of his life to that profession, and farming is only a side issue with him.
