Y., Oct. 30.—After a long {liness, Vice President James School- craft Sherman died at-his home in this city at 9.42 o’clock’ tonight of, uremic poison caused by Bright's dis- ecase, He had been sinking ever since early morning, and it was realized that death was a question of only a few hours. There was slight reliel shortly after 7 o'clock, caused by an apparent improvement. in the condi- tion of the kidneys, but it did not prove real or lasting, and at best gave only temporary hope. At 9 o'clock the temperature rose to 106. From that time the conditjon rapidly passed from bad to worse fintil the end. He was unconscious when the end came and had been in that condition for hours with but slight change. & Members of Family at Deathbed. ANl the members of the immediate family were witnesses to the final scene. In addition to Mrs. S an. there were three ‘sons, Sherrill, Rich- ard and Thomas M. Sherman, and thelr respective ‘wives; R. W. and[tified with the business interests of Sanford .Sherman, brothers of Sherman, and Mrs. L. B. Moore and Mrs. H. J. Cookinham, sisters of Mr, Sherman. Soon ufl&- Mr. Sherman’s @ Dr, Fayette F. Peck, the atte: g physician, who was present when: death camé, issued the following statement: Died Quietly and Peacefully. - “The vice president died at 9.42 p. m. without regaining consciousness for a moment. He was perfectly quiet. He died In the presence of his wife, her brother and sister, his two broth- ers and hls three sons and their wives, 11e had buen entirely unconscious since 7 o'clock, when he had a period of partial consciousuness lasting for about 15 minutes. He died in a uremia.coma as a result of Bright'e disease, heart diszase and arteric sclerosis.” Mrs. Sherman Bears Up Bravely. Mrs. Sherman bore up bravely under the shock of her husband's death, as did the other members of the family, Although it was said at the house that the hopelessness of Mr. Shermans: fight against death had been realized since Friday, the blow was neverthe- less a crushing one. A few of the intimate friends of the family calied tonight to-express their sympathy, among them Dr. A, . Holden, pastor of Carist Reformed church. where the family worships. Funeral Arrangements Deferred. Soon after the vice president's death it was announced that the mem- bers of the family wished to ‘be left undisturbed tonight and that no ar- rangements for the fumeral would be mgde before tomorrow. he Sherman residence is located on Genesee street, one of the city's fash- lonable thoroughfares, and the arrival and departuie of an occasfonal auto- moblle was the omly Indication that anything unusual had transpired with- in the house. Utica Bells Tolled. Dr, Peck remained for a time and notified several of Mr. Sherman's friends by telephone that the end had come, The announeement of the vice prea- ldent's death spread through the city with lightning rapidity. Universal Sorrow was expressed and immediate #teps were taken for proper recogni- tion of the sorrowful event, Mr, Bherman was rogarded as -the 'first citizen of the clty and all ‘differences growing out of politics dled with him. he mavoy g: out 4 statement voic- My the ydueral grief and the big bell & city Basi as woll ar many church {auired constant bélls tolled out the doleful news to a public to which it was not new. Political Meetings Cancelled. Not only did the republican organ- ization t: proper recognizance of the event, but the progressives announced theipsintention of cancelling all meet- ings ‘until after the vice president's funeral.., Governor Johnson, who s long &as Mr. Sherman lived was his rival for vice presidential honors, was to have spcken here ‘tomorrow nighi in behalf of the progressive ticket, but his address, like all other events of the kind, has been deferred. The democrats also signified thelr intention of removing a Wilson and Marshall banner which had been flung across one of the city streets and of suspending all political activity until after the funeral. Mayor Baker’s Tribute In the course of his tribute, ‘Baker, said: “Mr, Sherman has long been Iden- " Utica. He was ever alert in taking advani for the city. His home life was’ It was a model for all American, families. He found the greatest pleasure when surrounded by those loved him as a husband and fath it is there that his ~enial presence will be missed. Stricken as he was with an iliness which re- watchfulness, Mr. Sherman bore it with a fortitude ‘Wwhich exémplified the strong charac- teristics of the man.” Flags Ordered at Half Mast. The mayor ordered that the flags on all city buildinzs should be placed at half mast and suggested that a simi lar course be fcllowed with all other flags 'in Utica. Failure of Kidneys to Work. Dr. Peck attributes the crisis in the case entirely to the failure of the kid- neys to operate. This condition has resulted in filling the system with a virulent poison which is rapidly de- stroying the patient’s vitality. The poison caused considerable twitching in the muscles and transformeq the hitherto ruddy complexion of the vice presidents face into a dark purple. Decline Dates from Notification Cere- monjes. Mr. Sherman's rapid decline in health dates from August 21 when he was formally notified of his nomina- tlon as vice president, according |to Dr. Peck. He was warned that the exertion incident to the ceremonies might have an {ll effect, but he th- disted that the programme as ar- ranged be carried out. “You may know all about medfcine,” Mr. Sherman told his physician when he urged him to arrange for a brief and informal notification, “but you don’t know about politics.’ Spoke for Over an Hour. “It was against my advice,” sald Dr. Peck tonight, “that Mr. Sherman participated in the formalities of the notification ceremonies. I suggested it would be better for Lim to receive the committee in the parler of his home, tell them briefly that while he did not want a renomination he would accept in a spirit of loyalty, and let that cuffice,. When it hecame appar- ent that he would not yleld to my suggestion I urged him to make a speech of not more than five minutes, “Instead, he. spoke for more than half an hour.

TO CHOOSE SUGCESSOR. Republican National Committee Will Meet on Nov, 12. New York, Oct. 31.—Chairman Hilles of the republican national committee shortly before 1 o'clock this morning announced that he had called a meet ing-of the national committge for Nov 12 in Chicago to select a successor Lo ‘the late James S. Sherman as the re- ‘publican candidate for vice president. -~ Mr. Hilles made the following state- ment: N hich “The. on whicl ? delegated. national committee power to ¥ cancies on the national ticket. The death of Mr. Sherman, candidate df the republican party for viee president at ‘the coming election, makes it incum- bent upon the national committee (o nominate a candidate in his place. The nomination, however, cannot possibly be made prior to the election next Tuesday. Such a nomination can properly be made only after due and reasonable notice to all the members of the committee. Such notice can- not be given in less than six days. It therefore, manifestly impossible to 0ld such a meeting prior to the elec- tion. Meantime no difficulty or incon- venience arises to the voters at the election next Tuesday, because the | o1 votes to be cast then are for electors | and not candidates for either presi- dent or vice president, and the death of Mr, Sherman, therefore, does not affect the validity of the election of the electors, “I have called a meeting of the na- tional committee to meet upon the 12th day of November in the city of Chica- go at the Auditorium hotel at 12 nooa to select a successor to the latc James S. Sherman as candidate of the republican party for vice president of the United States.” / TAFT IN TEARS. Broke Down After Announcing Sher- man’s Death to Naval Employes. — New York, Octs 30.—President Taft was informed of the death of Vice President Sherman at 9.50 o’clock as the chief executive and his secretary of the navy were seated as guests of honor at a dinner to them by em- ployes of the Brooklyn navy yard at the Thirteenth regiment armory ia celebration of the successful launching of the battleship New York today. Tke president had just finished a plea for a greater navy, and Commander Greaves of the navy yard was speak- ing at the time when the news of Mr. Sherman's death was broken to the president. President Taft at frst made no comment after hearing the news. He remained seated quletly, concealing emotions which he migit ave had, until Commander Greaves and Congressman Calder had finished their speeches. He then rose and said: “My Friénds: Three vears ago you met on an occasion like this to ceie- brate the launching of the Florida, and you were honored by the presence af the vice president of the United States —Vice President Sherman. It is a very sad duty for me to announce thac word bas just come that the vice pres- ident is dead. “Those who knew him loved him. Those who knew the services he ren- dered to his country respected him. | venture to ask that this assemblage adjourn in honor of his memory and that no further proceedings be taken.’ A period of silence followed the president’s unexpected words. The band came to the relief of the situa- tion by playing “My Country, "Tis of Thee,” and the naval officers and men filed out quietly. The president was Bscorted to his antomobile. Tears came to his eyes. He was lost sight | of, hcwever, as he stepped inside of | the car d was whisked across the Brooklyn bridge and to the Pennsyl- vania railroad station in New York, where he was due to take his train at 11.80 o'clock for Washington. ~ KNOX NOW IN LINE.

New York, Oci. 30.—Soowing no physical evidence of the shock of his attempted assassination in Milwau- kee, October 14, Col. Theodore Roose- velt tonight faced for an hour and! twenty minutes a progressive political | rally which gave many thousands of | his fellow New Yorkers a chancg to | accord him an_ uproarious welcome. Ovation of 42 Minputes. For 42 minutes after his entrance into crowded Madison Square Garden Colonel Roosevelt stood at the edge of the high-perched speakers’ platform, unable to make himself heard above the din of cheers, songs and band music. His gestures to the crowd for silence served only to Intensify the noiges; ang when after twenty min- utes of cheering, Colonel Roosevelt made a.determined effort to begin his spegech, the immense audience was swung off inte another period of cheering - by the beginning of the chant, “We want Teddy. Ve want Teddy.” Refused to Be ‘Seated. Colonel Roosevelt refused, to sit | down or leave the edge of the plat- form. Senator Dixon and Governor Johnson urged him to be seated, but he maintained his standing position throughout the entire demounstration ang when opportunity finally came for him to begin his speech he began it twith a request to the police to main- tain ovder. Frowned on Applause. The attention and silence jthat | greeted the address hy Colonel Roose- velt was as marked as the demonstra- tion that preceded it. At the first at- tempts to interrupt with applause, the presidential candidate® motioned im- peratively with his left hand for si- lence; and he accompanied this ges- ture with a shake of the head which made the crowd realize his desire to be allowed to speak without interrup- tion. . Thousands Turned Away. The immense garden, covering a city block, was crowded to its doors, and thousands of persons were turned away. Gov. Hiram W. Johnson, progressive candidate for vice president, and Osear 8. Straus, candidate for governor of New York, precedéd Colonel Roose- velt. The crowqd -began to- fill -the hall as'soon as the doors were opened at six o‘clock and when the meeting was eslled to oxder at 820 p, m. Ly Dixon, ‘chairmiun of the pro- Ve national committee; moving ' pictures of the Roosevelt trip had | wrought the big gathering up to a high piteh of enthusiasm. Entered While Johnson Was Speaking. Governor Johnson was still speak- ing when Colonel Roosevelt was brought to the hall at 9.15 p. m. The colonel had rested at the home of his physician, ,Dr. Lambert, for several hours, and his arrival was timed to meet the conclusion of Governor John- son’s address. Cheers in the street outside signalled his approach and an answering cheer from within the hall brought Governor Johnson's speech to an end. Crowd Sings and Cheers. As the colonel appeared at the back of the platform, men and women jumped on chairs, waved bandanas, flags and handkerchiefs and shouted “Roosevelt!” “Teddy!” and other terms of recognition. As the demonstration progressed the band broke in at in- tervals with songs that the crowd sang heartily, to return to the cheering at their conclusion. A Stuffed Bull Moose, A _spot light that had been trained throughout the'early part of the eve- | ning on a stuffed bull moose mounted at ome end of the hall, was suddenly shifted to Colonel Roosevelt in the midst of the demonstration, bringing a boisterous appreciation from the crowd. “Everybody’s doin’ if,” injected into the noise by the band, was taken up with fervor, and the cry of “He's a bear, he's a bear,” brought smiles to the face of the' candidate. Colopel Roosevelt adhered text of his prepared speech. Suffered No Il Effects. Oyster Bay, N. Y. Oct. 381.—Colonel Roosevelt reached his home here short 1v after midnight, tired but in excellent spirits, and seemingly none the worse for his physical effort of the night. “I stood it in fine shape, right up to the handle,” he said. There is every prospect that he will| feel entirely able to keep hiz engage- | ment to attend the state progressive ! rally in® Madison Square Garden on! Friday eveming. to the | ger and Bacon alternately, by com- mon agreement. By this agreement Senator Bacon is to preside over the senate when con- gress reassembles on December 2 and until December 16. Therefore Sena- tor Bacon is charged with the duties of that office now and to him will fall making the arrangements for the sen- ate’s participation in the funeral cere- monjes. According to the constitution, the succession to the presidency now goes to Secretary Knox of the state department, who also figures as a ! presidential possibllity should the | election throw the contest into the | house.
