Healpler Makes Mask.
It is understood here that Governor
Smith of New York and the Gover
nors of several other states have ap
pointed committees to attend the fu
neral tomorrow. The Roosevelt family
today telegraphed the Governors sug
gesting committees be limited to one
or two members.
The casket In which Colonel Roose
velt will be burled is of plain oak with
three silver handles on either side.
On Its face is a simple plate of silver
with this inscription:
"Theodore Roosevelt. October 87
11.8: January . 1919."
This afternoon a plaster-of-paris
mask was taken of the former presl

Colonel in life. Jiad obtained minute
measurements of the hands, fingers and
head.
As a tribute to the Colonel's mem
ory. Oyster Bay will suspend its bus!
nes activities tomorrow at noon lor
three hours.
Tales without number were recount
ed today of the town life of the ex-
President. There was the old German
American tradesman" whose store stood
as it stands today, in the heart of the
village when "Teddy as a boy was ac
customed to pass each day. This elderly
citizen of enemy birth, but possessing
an Americanism as staunch, perhaps
aa that of the Colonel himself, entered
the Oyster Bay Inn yesterday when he
learned of the death of the Colonel, to
demand confirmation of news which
bad shocked the world. Informed that
what he had heard was true, he col
lapsed In a chair and gave way to un
restrained emotion.
If he's gone if he's really gone I'm
through." the old friend of Theodore
Roosevelt said. "There is nothing more
for me to live for if Teddy is never
coming by here again. Teddy why.
Teddy used to sic his dog on me when
he was a boy."
Fan II y Life Simple.
The flood of reminiscences which has
swept Oyster Bay brought to public no
tice a circumstance which the towns
people have long been familiar with.
but regarding which the outside world,
perhaps, has never known. It is a cir
cumstance which may be said to be
eloquently characteristic of the gentle
home life of the Roosevelt family. It
was said that It was not until four
months ago that the Sagamore Hill
house was Installed with ' electric
lights.
Noted visitors from many lands, men
of renown with International missions
sent by foreign governments, have
come to the Sagamore Hill house to
find the Colonel writing, dictating or
reading by the light of oil. lamps.
Throughout his great home oil-burning
lights only were to be found until
few months ago. On the desk at which
the Colonel eat in his Presidential
chair during White House days there
stood an oil lamp.
Jt was neighborly reminiscences
today which revealed why at last oil
surrendered Its place to the more mod
ern electricity.
"You know," the Colonel was quoted
ty a neighbor as saying 'half apologet
ically, "we just had to put In electric
lights. The servants demanded It."
High In the air over Sagamore Hill
last night and today Army airplanes
from Hazeihurst Field maintained a
rcaseless vigil, occasionally swooping
toward the earth to drop a wreath of
laurel among the elms near the man
sion.

PARIS, Jan. 7. (By the Associated

Italy, returning to Paris at 10 oclock
this morning. He was accompanied by
Mrs. Wilson and Miss Margaret Wilson
The President is ready for the first
gathering of the Premiers and states
men of the entente powers, and the in
formal conferences will begin Thurs
day or Friday.
The first conferences will he in the
nature of informal exchanges of views
by the various groups having common
interests. These will then be condensed
and reduced to memoranda, which the
interested nations will sign and pass to
the peace conference to be incorporated,
if satisfactory. In the final terms.
It is believed that by this method the
great powers can avoid calling in the
representatives of neutral states and
nominal belligerents when their inter
ests are discussed.
Under the present scheme the repre
sentatives of neutral states and the
smaller belligerents will first meet the
representatives of the powers with
whom they have questions pending,
with the object of settling them, while
the others will be free to confer with
those with whom they have interests.
The conferences will concern princi
pally local questions. It will be a
process of elimination which Is expected
to reduce greatly the detailed work of
the general conference.

Madrid, has declared in an interview
that he hoped to visit the republics of
