out OF town. How desolate her life

M'R|NLEY DAY
Jan. 29Mdy Not be Birthday
of Martyred President.
DATE IS GIVEN AS FEB. 26
Six Congressional Directories Give
Later Date, While One Issued
While He Was President
Make 1t Jan. 90.

Washington, Dec l4.-January 20 Is
known from one end Of the United
States to the other as Mckinley day "
but admirers of the martyred presl-
dent in his native state OF Ohio and
elsewhere throughout the country will
be astonished to learn that Jan. 20 is
probably not President McKinley's
birthday anniversary at all.
Ii is true that in one OF the CON
gressional directories issued when Mr..
Mckinley was president the date Of
his birth was given as January %,
lS43 But in all the directories pub
lished during McKinleys six terms
as a member of the house OF represen-
tatives the date is given as Feb. 26,
1914.
The first sketch Of Mr. McKinleys
life which appears in the directory
issued at the beginning OF the first
session of the Forty-fifth congress Mr.
Mckinley wrote himself. There are two
or three editions of the directory each
session, and before each edition was
printed proof of this sketch was sent
to him for revision. He must have
seen il dozens Of times after he origi-
nally wrote ii, and a man is usually
supposed TO know the date of his own
birth. but there was never a sugges-
ton that the date was wrong. The
same can be said. however. Of the
date Of Jan. % published in the direc-
tories during Mr.. McKinley's term as
president.
II was commented upon by members
OF the Ohio delegation as remarkable
that up to this time the question has
never been raised Senator Dick, Rep
resentative Keifer. of Ohio. who says
he has talked birthdays and ages with
President Mckinley dozens OF times;
Representatives Cassidy and Rowland,
Of Cleveland, and other members OF
the delegation seem to accept the date
OF Feb 90, 1914. as correct.
One thing is certain, the members
of the Ohio delegation are sufficiently
interested in the proposition to make a
thorough inquiry. II Mckinley day is
really Feb. % they don't want Jan. 20
celebrates, as such. but that is the
date accepted for some reason or 9th
er, and they propose to find out why
The discrepancy was discovered by
Representative Burke. Of Pennsylya-
mia. who had received an invitation to
a Mckinley day banquet. had lost the
card and undertook to dig up the date
in a congressional directory.
