Mr Taft and Mr Hughes were promihent among the mourners at Colonel Roosevelt's funeral. Mr Taft was in tears during the committal service and the ex-Speaker, Mr Joseph Cannon, was visibly affected.
The streets of the village were crowd' ed with silent mourners.

The flowars at the grave were those from his ex-Rough Rider comrades in the Spanish-American War, but hundreds of wreaths filled the church.

In private life his character was one of simplicity and virtue.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
