MONDAY, JANUARY 6, 1919. PRESENT: THE CHIEF JUSTICE, MR. JUSTICE MCKENNA, MR. JUSTICE HOLMES, MR. JUSTICE DAY, MR. JUSTICE VAN DEVANTER, MR. JUSTICE PITNEY, MR. JUSTICE BRANDEIS, and MR. JUSTICE CLARKE. MR. ATTORNEY GENERAL GREGORY addressed the court as follows: May it please the court: It is with pain and sadness that I announce the death of COLONEL THEODORE ROOSEVELT, twenty-sixth President of the United States. He held that high office from the year 1901 to 1909. Colonel Roosevelt passed away at Oyster Bay, Long Island, at a quarter past 4 o'clock this morning. The end was not anticipated, except by his physician, his family, and a few personal friends. He died in his sixty-first year. I move that the court adjourn as a mark of respect to the memory of this distinguished statesman, soldier, and citizen. THE CHIEF JUSTICE responded: Mr. Attorney General, the court sorrows to learn of the death of the great and conspicuous public servant whose services the country has lost, and it is consoling to be able to give that mark of respect and veneration to his memory which is suggested by your motion, and the court will transact no business today, but stand adjourned until tomorrow. |
