RULERS DEATH
IS CONFIRMED
RELIABLE REPORT AT LAST
SENT FROM PEKING
First Unqualified Statement An-
nounces Emperor's Demise and
Hour 1t Occurred--Regent
Is Prince Chun
rBy Associated Press.l

10y ASsOCldteu FESSS'A
PEKING, Nov. 14.-The emperor died
shortly after o'clock this afternoon.
The emperor has been i'll for long
time and during recent audiences with
foreign representatives he was unable
| to sit upon the throne or even in an
erect position.
It was evident for a long time that
he would be unable to Withstand
crisis which sooner or later must de-
velop in the disease from which ne
was suffering.
Recent climatic extremes caused
fatal complications.
At the moment of the death or the
emperor the dowager empress own
death chamber chair was waiting IN
the court yard. She, too, had been In
serious condition and word that was
brought to her earlier in the day that
the emperor was dying caused her TO
collapse. This has prevented her as
suming the relationship of grandmother
to the successor to the throne, which,
according to the Chinese, would enorm-
ously augment her authority.
No Emotion Shown
There is little indication of emotion
among the people. The emperor's
death and the probable death of the
dowager empress within a short time
have had very little effect upon the
Chinese, who are pursuing the even
tenor of their way without signs or
mourning.
Kwang Hau's later life was a pitiable
spectacle to his attendants. His feeble
ness had rendered him mere puppet
and he had suffered long from i'll
health, which was combined with fear
and despair. Latterly he showed
marked signs of mental disturbances
and even went so far last August as
to declare himself mad.
The foregoing dispatch from Pekin
sets at rest the conflicting rumors of
the last two days that have origi-
mated in Peking and been published
around the world.
The emperor of China is dead. The
report from London Of his improve
ment probably referred to temporary
change only.
This Picking message is the first un-
qualified statement to come from the
Chinese capital. and it gives specifically
the time of the passing of his majesty.
The regent is Prince Chun, the ern-
peror's brother, and If he is accepted
by the government before the dowager
empress dies, the likelihood of any
revolutionary outbreak in China will
be reduced materially.

HONOR MARTYRS
OF PRISON SHIP
BIG BROOKLYN MONUMENT
UNVEILED BY TAFT
Presldent-Elect, Secretary of War and
Governor of New York Are
Among the Principal
- Speakers

NEW YORK. Nov. 14.-With mill
tary pomp and impressive ceremony the
"prison ship martyrs monument in
Brooklyn was dedicated this afternoon.
President-elect Taft made a special
trip from Hot Springs, Va, to deliver
the grafton.
Secretary of War Wright on behalf
of the government made the presenta-
ton address and Governor Charles E.
Hughes on behalf of the state accepted
the memorial.
After more. than a century of agita-
tion by individuals and organizations,
the bones of men representing approxi-
mately $4,000 martyrs" of the Revo-
lutionary war who died on the prison
ship Jersey, and other lesser vessels in
Wallabout bay, Brooklyn, lie at last in
fittingly marked burial place. for
which the government, New York
state and hundreds of individuals made
contributions.
An imposing doric column of gran
ite 270 feet high, surmounted by a
funeral urn and fagstaff, rises above
the tomb at Fort Greene park, Brook
lyn.
Is Inspiring Spectacle
The procession of military and naval
members, said to be one of the largest
ever seen in Brooklyn, the tremendous
outpouring of people, crowding densely
the line of march, and at Fort Greene
park massed by tens of thousands, pre-
sented an inspiring spectacle.
The vicissitudes of the remains of the
sailors and soldiers who died of fever
and starvation and rotted in the foul
hulks Of the British prison ships have
been MANY and have caused more than
one outburst of public Indignation.
1t was in 1882. at a Brooklyn town
meeting, that definite steps were first
urged to properly bury the remains
Nothing was done, however, until 1903,
when the Tammany society secured
funds for temporary wooden tomb,
which was constructed on Hudson
street.
With the passing years the struc-
ture fell into decay, the bones became
exposed and children played with them.
Public feeling became aroused, and in
1875 the city of Brooklyn removed all
that could be collected, several loads
of them, to a tomb at Fort Greene
park. under the stairs of the entrance;
where they had been until work had
been begun on the present handsome
memorial, which the late Stamford
White designed. and which represents
about 100000.
