DEATH OF FORMER PRESIDENT IS GREAT SHOCK TO NATION
In nearly every State where the ran!:
nnrt n e coulrt expren Itself nt the
primaries noosevelt was a. winner, the
ronervmIe complacency changed to
fright.
President Tnft went on the Htumn to
defeat noonevelt. hut his own State went
against him, and even Mapachuietts
split even, When the Itenubllcan con
vention met In Chicago the bltterneH
between the factions w.m po great that
prediction of rioting In the convention
were freely made;
The national committee passed on the
contested ca,ses nnd threw nut nearly nil
the noosavelt contests. Tile rtoimtelt
men charged that this action consti
tuted a fraud and a denial of the will of
the people.
The convention was the 'stormiest
since the Democratic convention In
Charleston In i860. The Colonel de
manded that the Taft men whose Feats
were contested should not be allowed to
veto on each other's cases, and when this
was decided against him he called on his
followers to sit mute and refrain from
voting. Most of them obeyed th's In
junction, but even as It -una the Colonel I
received 107 votes, much to his dlfgust.
ProKresuhe Party Itorn
The nlelit the convention ndjourned
nooseelt's followers proceeded tn Or-,
chestra Hall, where he was tnfoi mnlly '
)laccd In nomination as a bolting can-'
dldate. Hut a real convention was held
later. In August, at which the Pro
gressive party was created formally,
and Roosevelt was nominated for I're.l
dent and Hit am W. Johnson, of Cali
fornia, for Vice President.
The Colonel Immediately began a
itumplng tour that brought lilr.i through
nearly every State In the Union. When
olectlon day arrived It was found that
Iilsj achievement was something stu
pendous. Though his party was not

While the campaign was In progress
Colonel Tioosevelt was shot by a ciank

going to deliver n speech In the Audi

courage, and despite the fact that he
had no Idea whether his wound waa
mortal or not, the Colonel Insisted on
proceeding to the Auditorium and going
on with his speech. He said It might
be his last chance to get his IdeaH before
the people. Then he was rushed to a

Colonel Roosevelt's sister Corrlne
(Mrs. Douglas Robinson) and his
nephew. State Senator Theodore Doug

Sngainoie III1I. They vveie folPJvved by
seveial intimate friends of the family.
The Colonel's deith came ns a. shock
to the people of Ojster Hay, iir friends
knew that lie was about tho house the

of the death of Colonel Roosevelt was
lecelved heie by Miss Josephine
Strieker, the CoIuiicI'h secretary. In a
telephone message from Mrs. Koose
volt from Oyster Ila. Miss Strieker
saiil that the Colonel had been moie ot
less confined to his loom since ho suf
fered an attack of Infiainmutoiy
rheumatism on New Year's dav. Miss
Strieker said she had no Idea Mr.
Roosevelt's death was so near.
Tho attack of rheumutlxm settled
mainly in Colonel Roosevelt's right
hand and Mis. Roosevelt Kent at once
for u nuise in the village of 0ster
Day. His condition did not at first
seem to be nlarmlug and the turn for
the worsp Is believed not to have come
until last night.
Called by Mrs. Roosevelt
In announcing Colonel Rooevelt'H
death. Miss Strieker said:
"Mrs. Roosevelt called me on tne
telephone shortly befoie 7 o'clock, say
lng that the Colonel had died eaily
today. She did not give me anv par
tlcul.us and I am leaving at once for
Oyster It.iy.
"The uttack must have been ver

the Colonel was mado as comfortable

Miss Strieker went to Oyster Hay
last Saturday to pay the Colonel a
visit. Sho said.
"At that tlmo the Colonel was sleep
ing in his loom and 1 did not see him,
and thcie was nothing in the circum
stances of his Illness at that time to
indicate to mo that death was near.
When Mrs. Ruosevelt called ine tills
moinln? and told me of the Colonul's
death I could hardly believe It,
"Mrs. Roosevelt gave me no puiticu
laro of his death."
On the day befoin Clulstmas when
Colonel Roosevelt left the hospital
heie to spend the holldaj In Oyster
Hay, Miss Strieker, In speaking of his
condition, said he was In slight pain
nt Intervals, but apparently wax far
from being rerlously 111. On tho Sun
day previous to his depot turn for his
home he hnd dictated articles for the
Kansas City Star and other publica
tions from 11 a. m until 'i p. m. He
ate well and slept like a child,
So marked had been his Improve
ment inder the regimen provided nt
the hospital thai Mrs. Roosevelt, who
at the beginning tcmaitied with her
husband continuously, was Importuned
by him to test. She went to Oyster
Hay, returning two or three times a
week to visit him and bring him tablo
delicacies of which he was especially
fond,
Quentln was killed in combat July
17, 191S, at Chamcry, France. For
some weeks previous to confirmation
of his death there were tepoits that he
had possibly been taken prisoner by
the Cermnus nnd might turn up alive.
This suspense added to tho distress of
the Roosevelt household. When the
mid news finally was olllelally confirm
ed General Pershing cabled Colonel
Roosevelt that If ho desired, the body
of Quchlin would be removed'to Amer
ica. Trance, meanwhile, had paid the
fullest honors to the- dead aviator and
the Roosevelt family declined to ac
cept the War Department's offer.
In a. letter to Oeneral Peyton C
March, ch)cf-of-taff, Colonel Roose
elt wrote:
"Mrs. Roosevelt nnd I wish to enter
a most respectful but most emphatic
protest against the proposed course
so far ns our boh Quentin ls concerned.
We have always believed that:
" 'Where tho tree fall.
" 'There let it lie.'
"We know- that many good persons
feel enthely different, but to us It is
painful andv harrowing long after
death to move the poor body from
which the soul has (led. We greutly
prefer that Quentin shall continue to
lie on the spot where he fell In battle
and where the foemen buried him
"After tho war is over Mrs. Roose
velt and I Intend to visit the grave
and then to have a small stone put
up by us, but not disturbing what has
already been erected to his memory by
his fi lends and American comrades In
arms."
Colonel Roosevelt had been looking
forward to his Journey overseas vvltli
mingled feelings of sadness and pride.
Xo plans hnd been made for his de
parture, it was said, hut It was
thought that If his condition improved
ho nnd Mrs. Roosevelt might sturt
some time Ifi May or J. me.
Colonel Hoosevrlt was nlo oon
cerncd over the wound received In
action b his son, Caplnln Archibald
Roosevelt, which caused paralysis in
his aim, for which he ls now being
ti oa ted.
Two separate blood tests had been
made nt the hospital, one by Doctor
I Richards and the other bv Doctor
, Haitwell, both of which confirmed the
diagnosis ot the other. These tests,
It was Hald. indicated that the Colonel
was entirely free from nny orgnnlc
disease and that his onl troublo was
the inflammatory rheumatism. Tills
ailment was only pronounced in Ills
left leg, but at times It affected ono
of his hands nnd aims.
Although there were no indications
of a setback after the Colonel's leturn
to Oyster Hay, feus for his well being
and coiivalescencn nt Sagamore Hill
had been e.-:piessed by his friends.
One object of his going to the hospital
wns that he might have nt hand more

than vveie accessible In his own home

be said to dato from last Februarj.
On Felnuary 5 It was announced that
ho had been removed from his homo

March 2.
Dmlng Ma and June the Colonel
made a number of addresses, speaking
at Springfield, Mass., nnd lu New Yoilc.
Ill Juno he made a tour of the West,
duilng which ho buffered a slight at
tack of ervslpolas In one of his legs,
but refuted to give up his engage

taken to Roosovelt Hospital. While ill
the hospital reports became current
that tho Colonel was more seriously

nf
Milk Drivers' Strike!
N ORDER that there may be a clear understanding,!
with our customers on the one hand and with ourf.
V .
milk drivers now on strike on the other, we desired
to state clearly our position on the existing strike.
This strike started with demands made upon a milk
dealer over whom we have no control. In the hope oV
forcing that company to terms, our drivers declared-a sym-,a
pathetic strike that has disturbed all of our deliveries. Wef
are now endeavoring to readjust our deliveries in prder to?
give to our customers the service to which they are"
accustomed, and that this may be the more quickly;!
accomplished, we stand ready to take back individually
the men now on strike. The question for our customers
to decide is whether drivers who have no grievance
against us, and who now receive wages of from $40 to $80
a week, should be allowed to disturb the milk distribution;
of the city by a sympathetic strike.

To our customers:
We want you to know the real
truth concerning this unjustifiable
strike into whicli we have been
drawn.
During the past year we have
paid our drivers a weekly wage
ranging from $40 to $80 and have ,
made their working conditions the
very best possible.
Notwithstanding these large
wages, whicli have not been
equaled anywhere else in the
United States, our drivers, having
no grievance against us or our
methods, and merely because a
certain distributing concern
would not accede to their de
mands, have called this so-called
sympathetic strike. We therefore
ask all fair-minded people to give
us every opportunity to adjust this
matter. We ask your co-operation
until normal conditions are estab
lished. Until then, milk may be
bought at any of our branches.
To the employes of the Supplee
IF ills-Jo n es Com pa ny :
During the past year we have?,
paid you wages ranging from $'40
a week to $80 a week. You state,
you have no grievance against us
Nevertheless, because one corn
pan v over whom we have no con-
trol has refused to accede to the3
demand of a minority of its drivers1,,-
you declare against us what yov4,,,,
term a sympathetic strike. This,
A,
is raiisnio- trrmpnnnns; inrnnven.vl
te .. . -,,(
ience to the public. '"
You admit that you have no
grievance against us, yet are causV-r
ing suffering among thousands of
babies and invalids. We cannot
permit the conditions which havp
made this tie-up possible to con$
tinue to exist. We give you thef;
opportunity of immediately re,-
turning to work.
We submit to the public the question as to whether our men have
been fairly paid and whether our position is fair and just. If they
believe it to be so, we ask tneir support. j-
This unjustified strike has cost us many thousands of dollars, an4
we ask you to bear in mind the large wages paid to our njen and to'
stand by us in this emergency. We want your custom, and we want
your assistance now. Your support will aid us to give you the best milk'
and the best service and will enable us to continue our policy of supply-i
ing you with milk at the lowest possible cost.
Let us say that we have completely lost confidence in the leaders iti
the present strike and do not consider that they represent the sentiment"
of a vast majority of our employes. We do not propose to request thafcj
the employes shall change their present leaders. That is a matter for"
them to decide. We do, however, wish to notify our employes that itvA
so difficult for us to deal with the present leaders that we are sure furthest
negotiations with them cannot lead to any satisfactory conclusions afyfi
