MONUMENT IS DBIMOATRD TO

MURDERED AS HE SLEPT
i
WILSON NAIES SPEECH
Dsughtera of Confederacy Present
Arlington Memorial to Nation—
President’* Address Sounds Key
note of Peace and Amity Between
Brothers Lately Separated.
A bronze monument, typifying the
South rising triumphantly from the
sufferings and privations of war, was
dedicated at Arlington National cem
etery late Thursday afternoon to the
memory of the Confederate dead
The memorial was formally given in
to the keeping of the federal govern
ment by Mrs. Daisy MoLaurin Stev
ens, president general of the United
Daughters of the Confederacy, and
was accepted by President Wilson,
who paid high tribute to the sincerity
and valor of those who fought under
the Stars and Bars. Gen. Washing
ton Gardner, commander-ln-chlef of
the Grand Army of the Republic, and
Gen. Bennett Young, commander-ln-
chlef of the United Confederate Vet
erans, delivered addresses giving sig
nificant expression to the amity now
existing between veterans of the blue
and the gray. r
A terrific thunderstorm broke over
the cemetery while President Wilson
was addressing the crowd. Rain
drenched the blue and gray veterans
and women and children before they
could seek shelter. There was a wild
dash for automobiles and trolley
cars, participants and spectators
— alike forgetting the almost finished
program. * *
The president who had cut short
bis speech as the rising wind and
daiYenlng skies announced the
storm's coming, hurried to his car
with his two daughters, Mrs. McAdoo
and Mrs. Sayre. They were inside
before the rain came, but the ma
chines* top afforded poor protection
and the party was drenched on the
•even mile drive back to Washington.
The ceremonies were held at the
Imum of th<t Magnificent monument on
th Confederate section of the ceme
tery- Only a slight canopy afforded
protection to the speakers and the
crowd was without shelter and far
from any buildings.
Mrs. Daisy McLaurin Stevens,
president general of the United
Daughters of the Confederacy, made
the addreea presenting the monument
to the president on the behalf of the
women of the Confederacy. Tumul
tuous applause greeted her when she
•aid:
“Yours Mr. President, was Jeffer
son’s spirit when at Mobile you said
the United States had no interest In
Mexico or any other foreign lands,
except to see that the citizens enjoy
ed the right to the pursuit of happl
ness under a constitutional and just
government.’’ The president acknowl
edged the tribute with smiling ap
proval.
Gen. Washington Gardner, com
mander-ln-chlef of the Grand Amy
of the Republic, and Gen. Bennett
Young, commander-ln-chlef of the
United Confederate Veterans, were
notable figures among the speakers
and both were cheered with equal en-
thoualasm by veterans In gray and
thoae In blue. Col. a Robert E. Lee,
grandson of Gen. Lee, also spoke,
whils the sculptor; Sir Moses Ezekiel,
" a Confederate veteran, who designed
the monument, was present.
Paul Mlcou, a grandson of Col.
Hilary A. Herbert, pulled the cords
which released the draperies. All
the speakers commented on the ap
propriateness of delivering the me
morial to the government through a
Southern-born president. The presi
dent said: “I assure you that I am
profoundly aware of the solemn slg
nlllcAnce-of the thing that has taken
place. The Daughters of the Confed
eracy have presented a memorial of
their dead to the government of the
United States. I hope that you have
noted the history of the conception
of this ideat It was proposed by Y
president of the United States, who
himself had been a distinguished of
ficer In the Unlbn army. It was
authorized by an act of the congress
of the United States. The corner
stone of the monument was laid by a
president of the United States ele-
• vated to his position by the votes of
the party which had chiefly prided
Itself upon sustaining the war for
the Union.. And now It has fallen to
my lot to accept In the name of the
groat government which I am prtvt
teged tor the time to represent this
emblem of a reunited people.
"I am not so much happy gs proud
to participate In this capacity on anch
an occasion: proud that I should rep
resent such a people. Am I mistaken,

niftOHARGRD WATCHMAN WAITS
MONTHS FOR REVENGE.
Stealing Into Factory Office He
Awakes Head Watchman by Press
ing Pistol to His Temple.
■*' ‘ t*.'
After nursing his resentment for
months, Thomas Tarpy of Brooklyn
went to the offices of the Robert Galr
paper box factory early Sunday morn
ing and killed Michael Kerha, 38
years old, the head night watchman.
He fired five'shots, three of which
went wild. At the time of the mur
der a dozen other watchmen were on
duty, bqt none of them heard the
shots.
When the police Were notified that
the dead body of the watchman had
been discovered six detectives Imme
diately began to trace the slayer. Ex
amining the pay roll of the company
the names of those whem the night
watchman had discharged %'as found
In the meanwhile a policeman report
ed that shortly before midnight he
had seen in a saloon nearby, a man
whom he recognized as formerly em
ployed as watchman in the Galr fac
tory. From the description he gave,
subordinates of Kerha said the man
must have been Thomaf Tarpy.
Kerha’s payroll gave Tarpy’s ad
dress, but at the house It was said he
had moved two years ago. Inquiry
traced Tarpy to another lodging
house where detectives arrested him
They reported that almost immediate
ly after his arrest Tarpy confessed
the crime.
“Kerha discharged me. 8 months
ago,” he said, “and I never forgave
him for It. I’ve been out of work
ever since, and I couldn't forget that
he had put me into distress. So last
night I went to the Jactory and got
into the office.
“Kerha was asleep in a chair,
put the muzzle of tny pistol against
his head. That awoke him, and as
he recognized me, I said:
“ ’I came here to get you and I’m
going to do it.’ He didn’t seem to
think 1 meant It, and laughed at me
Then I pulled the trigger. My hand
waa pretty ahaky and the first shots
went wild, but when he tried to get
up out of the chair I put two bullets
Into him. He fell on the floor and I
could see he waa dead. I walked to
New York over the Manhattan
bridge, then back over the Brooklyn
bridge and went to my room. Thia
afternoon I went out for a walk, and
waa coming home when you got me.

some of the deepest and profoundeat

“This chapter In the history of the
United States is now closed and I can
bid you turn with me your faces to
the future, quickened by the memo
ries of the past, but with nothing to
do with the contests of Ahe past,
knowing as we have shed our blood
upon opposite sides, we now face and
admire one another. The generosity
of our judgment was made up soon
after this great struggle was over,
when men came and sat together in
the congress, united In all the Efforts
of peace and of government; and our
solemn duty Is to see that each one
of us Is, in his consciousness and in
his own conduct, a replica of this
great united people. .It Is our duty
and our privilege to be like the coun
try we represent, and, speaking no
word of malice, no word of criticism,
even standing shoulder to shoulder
to lift the burdens of mankind in the
future and show the paths of free
dom to all the world.” “ •’
The dominant figure of the monu
ment unveiled to-day Is a woman of
heroic size, typifying the South In
peace, surrounding a relief upon
which there are 32 figures depicting
the heroism of the South in war. It
was dedicated to all heroes of the
Confederacy.
Flags of the Confederacy and the
Stars and Stripes were draped to
gether over the monument, and dec
orated the speaker’s stand. The Fifth
cavalry band played “Star Spangled
Banner” and “Dixie”.
Among the thousands of persons
who filfed all available space set
apart for the unveiling ceremomies
were many South Carollhlans. They
came to Washington representing dif
ferent chapters of the Daughters of
the Confederacy and many came alao
on their own account to witness this
event. Practically all the members
of the congressional delegation were
on hand and as a special mark of re
spect for the Occasion'theltonate, on
motion of Senator Kern of Indiana,
adjourned for the day. The House
would have taken almilar action ex
cept for the fact that there were a
few members who wished to speed

Captain Andersen Says Accident Was
Due to Effort on Part of Empress
of Ireland to Cross His Track—
Did All In His Power to Avoid Col
lision, and Save Passengers.
With her bows crumpled in and
twisted around at an acute angle to
port and a gap showing on the port
side only a foot or so above the water
line, in mute evidence of the tragedy
In whloh she figured, the collier Stor-
stad limped into the harbor of Mon
treal, Canada, Sunday. Capt. Ander
sen denied that he moved a mile or
so away froo„lbe Empress after his
vessel struck the liner. The Storstad
had not moved. lt_was the Empress
which had changed position, he de
clared.
According to the report made by
Capt. Andersen to the owners imme
diately after the colliaion occurred,
he heard Capt. Kendall calling on
him not to pull away. “I wont,”
shouted the Storstad’s captain as
loud as he could. After that the Em
press disappeared from the Storstad’s
view. The statement baaed on Capt.
Andersen’s report, follows:
“The fact that the Storstgd has
only Sunday reached port had made
it impossible heretofore to give an
authentic statement on her behalf.
All connected with the Storstad de
plore most deeply the terrible acci
dent which has reeulted In th(
nabfe lives. U fa not
with any dwtnr
but simply because It la felt that the
public is entitled to know the facts
that the following atatement la put
forward: -
“The vessels sighted each other
when far apnrt. The Empress of Ire
land waa asen off the port bow of the
Storstad. The Empress of Ireland’s
green, or starboard, light was visible
to those on the Storstad. Under
tlMjM circumstances the rules of nav
igation gave the Storstad the right of
way. Tbs heading of the Empress
then changed In such a manner as to
put the vessels In a position to pass
safely. Shortly after a fog enveloped
first the Empress and then the fitor-
atad.
Fog signals were exchanged, the
Storstad’s engines were at once slow
ed and then stopped. Her heading
remained unaltered. Whistles from
the Empress were heard on the Stor
stad’s port bow and were answered.
The Empress of Ireland, was then
seen through the fog, close at hand
on the port bow of the Stors^fl. She
whh showing her green light and was
making considerable headway.
“The engines of the Stbrstad were
at once reversed at full speed and
her headway was nearly checked
when the vessels, came together. It
has been said that the Storstad
should not have backed out of the
hold made by the collision. She did
not do so. As the vessels came to-
gether the Storstad’s engine#. . wer,e
ordered ahead to hold tier bow
against the aide of the Empress and
thus prevent the entrance of water
Into the vessel.
“The headway of the Empress,
however, swung the Storstad around
in such a way as to twist the Stor
stad’s bow out of the hole.
“The Empress at once disappeared
in the fog. The Storstad sounded
her whistle repeatedly In an effort to
locate the Empress, but could obtain
no Indication of her whereabouts un
til cries were heard. The Storstad
then was manoeuvred as close to the
Empress as was safe in view of the
danger of injury to the persons who
were In the water.
“The Storstad then lowered every
one'of her boats and sent them to
save passengers and crew of the Em
press, though she was herself in se
rious danger of sinking. When two
boats from the Empress reached the
Storstad, the Storstad’s men also
manned these boats and went In
them to the rescue. Her own boats
made several trips and In all about
350 persons were taken on board and
everything the ship’s stores contain
ed was used for their comfort,
“The statements which have ap
peared In the press, indicating that
there was the slightest delay on the
part of the Storstad in rendering
prompt and efficient aid, do a cruel
Injustice to the captain, who did not
hesitate to send oat every boat he
had, In spite of tjie desperate condi
tion of his own ship “
The owners of the Storstad ask of
the public that, In all fairness to
both vessels and their commanders,
judgment as to where the blame for
the terrible, disaster should rest, be
suspended until as Impartial tribu
nal has heard the evidence on both
