The ' damage, unofficially, was estimated at $1,000. ‘Workers Are Refreshed. Mrs. Roosevelt remained within the house during the excitement, and when it was over she served coffee and cake to the workers. All she sald was “Just & few shingles were burned off the roof.” Nevertheless, 300 persons came @-running in fear that the famous domicile might be destroyed. It was at Sagamore Hill that the former President spent the happiest hours of his life, there raising his family, conferring with the leaders of his time and, finally, dying at the end of an fllustrious career. It was here that he returned from his terms in the ‘White House, from_ his service in the Spanish-American War and from his hunting trips to the dark corners of the world. Collection in Attic.

LOS ANGELES, January 23.—A tired, deadlocked jury went to work today with only faint hopes of reaching a ver- dict on whether Daisy De Boe stole $15,870 from Clara Bow, film “It” girl, her former employer. Twice yesterday the jurors reported to Superior Judge Willlam C. Doran that prospects for an agreement were nil, but each time the court ordered them back to work. They were locked up again last night after having deliberated about 30 hours. Just before they retired, a part of Daisy’s alleged confession to a prosecut- ing attorney was reread to them. ‘When the jurors expressed the opinion that they would never agree any better than Daisy and Olara did, Judge Doran announced he would not keep them | squabbling later than Saturday.
