Groton, Miss., Feb. 11. Theodora-
Roosevelt, Jr.. the oldest son of Presi
dent Roosevelt, haa double pneumonia.
Otherwise his condition was unchang
ed last night The boy la seriously
sick, but It la too early to aay what
the chances are for his recovery. This
waa the statement . issued by Mr.
TIIEODOBK ROOSEVELT, JB. .
George b! Cortelyou, secretary to the
president, and was made after a
careful examination by Dr. Alexander
Lambert, the family physician of Pres
ident Roosevelt, who arrived here from
New York at 6 o'clock last night
President and Mrs. Roosevelt spent
a long, anxious day In the Infirmary,
awaiting the crisis of the disease
which yesterday morning seemed to
have taken such a strong hold of their
son. Tho change for the worse In
the boy's condition occurred during
Sunday night and showed Itself when
the regular morning examination was
made by Dr. Shattuck and Dr. War
ren. Secretary Cortelyou, who is the
only means of communication with the
sick room, made the announcement of
the patient's serious condition, al
though he said then It was not alarm
ing. "His temperature is higher,"
said Mr. Cortelyou, "and his respira
tion is weaker, but his pulse is bet
ter." He also said that there was no Im
mediate change, only the natural
progress of the disease. He an
nounced that the disease had spread
and involved both lungs.
This unfavorable turn' warned the
president that the moat skillful medi
cal treatment was necessary, and so
he called to the aid ot Drs. Shattuck
and Warren his family physician, Dr.
Alexander Lambert of New York, an
eminent practitioner and a man well
acquainted with the boy's physique.
During yesterday frequent word was
received from the sick room through
Mr. Cortelyou that everything showed
that the boy's condition was un
changed, although last night Mr. Cor
telyou said he had had a hard day,.
The condition of young Theoaore
Roosevelt, Jr., at 2.30 thl3 morning
was very serious, for lights could be
soon in the infirmary, and nurses and
doctors were moving around. The
voice of the boy calling for water was
heard on the street

day, and In Its desolate wake are the

jority of the finer structures devoted

ket streets was wiped out completely.
The residence portion destroyed ex
tended from Pearl street to Market
street and from Straight street to
Carroll street
What started the Are Is not certain,
but It is thought that one ot the feed
wires running Into the car barns was
responsible. From the car barns the
flame leaped to other buildings close
by, and these were burned before the
flrst call firemen reached the scene.
The fire eame at Saturday midnight
and was only checked after a des
perate fight that lasted until lata yes
terday afternoon. Every city and
town within reach of Paterson sent
firemen and apparatus to the relief of
the threatened city, and It took the
united efforts of them all to win the
battle. A northerly gale gave the con
flagration its impetus and carried Its
burning brands to kindle the blaze
afresh at other points. The firemen
made stand after stand before the wall
of fire, but were repeatedly driven
back, and when victory finally came
to them they were begrimed and ex
hausted. Buildings Destroyed.

An estimate made from a general
Inspection of the smouldering ruins
placed the number of dwellings and

and the number of families left with

The fire began its work of destruc

In the city was called out, but fire and
gale were masters. A great torch of
flame rose high 1a the air, lighting
up the country for many miles and
carylng a threat and warning to the
people and property In Its path. There
were efforts to rescue furniture and
stock, but the cgeed with which the
1 fire moved gave the rescuers little
. time. Property was often moved to
'a place of presumed safety, only to
be eventually reached and destroyed.
The warning to many was brief, and
I they were forced to flee, scantily clad.
