orial to the unrecovered dead, not only
of the Maine but of other times and
places. ........,.u, H. .t.'.
Arriving at Arlington. all about We're
seen the mute reminders Of the Maine
glories. On one side were the graves
of the sailors recovered from the
wreck of the ship and brought home by
| the government for final burial here.
| In the foreground lay a huge cylinder
of tapering steel. rusty and indented,
| but still preserving the stately out,
! lines of the foremost of the Maine.
| This too had been brought back from
the tangled wreckage, to be erected
and unveiled later in the spring or
! summer. alongside the graves of those
who in life had seen the flag whipping
from it's topmost point. At either side
of the mast lay two great anchors of
the Maine. Today mast and anchors
were strewn with flowers, two large
wreaths coming from the white house,
and others from patriotic bodies and
citizens.
AS the parade made its way slowly
through the grounds, a salvo of artil-
lery greeted the raising of the flag to
full mast. The invocation of the day
was delivered by Bishop Harding,
Protestant Episcopal bishop Of Wash
ingtoh. The exercises included adj
dresses by Mr. Lake, Col. John Nc
Elroy, commemorative address by
Mrs. Ida M. Galloway, past president
general of the United Spanish War
Veterans auxiliary, and the reciting of
the occasional by Mrs. Isabel Worrell
Ball, chairman of the womans execu-
tive committee. ---.-
An impressive feature of the closing
exercises was the sounding Of taps
the final good-night-by many buglers
widely separated at remote points
throughout the vast cemetery, one
echoes and passing them along from
point to point like old time signalling
of war days.

duty. Please transmit to all the men,
bers of the battleship memorial COM

sympathy"
Rear Admiral Sigbee, in command
of the Maine when the vessel went to
the bottom of Havana harbor, sent
from New York letter of regret that
he could not be here. Former Prsi-

and sent sympathetic messages to his
family. t..# ..
Mr.. Kennedy's successor will be
chosen by the legislature in joint ses-
sion. Attorney General Carmody has
expressed the opinion that majority
vote of all the elected legislators would
be required to select a new treasurer.
In that event, it was pointed out, the
republicans would have to receive as
sistance from the progressives or else
face the possibility of a deadlock in
case the democrats stood together.
The republicans on joint ballot are
able to master only SO votes, 70 in the
assembly and II in the senate, while
majority is 1O1.

No explanation of the suicide was
forthcoming today other than that
first given out, that Mr.. Kennedy took
his life while temporarily deranged
and that the arrangement was caused
by brooding over the impending ordeal
of cross examination at the hands of
District Attorney Charles S. Whitman,
who had subpoenaed the state treasur-
er to appear in New York today.
Mr.. Kennedy killed himself yester-
day noon at the Markeen hotel, where
he lived with his wife, son and daugh-
ter. He cut his throat with his razor
in lavatory adjoining the ball room
of the hotel. The body was found by
his son.

SPEAKER To
END FIGHT
ON REPEAL
Rumored Clark Will Attack
Bryan-Vardaman Hits Plat
form Pledge Breaker,

WASHINGTON, March S0-War-
fare over the repeal of free Panama
Canal tolls was renewed in the House
and Senate to-day with greater in
tensity of feeling than was displayed
during the oratorical conflict of last
week. fractional lines in the Demo-
cratic party were more closely drawn
than at any previous time.
Representative Doremus.. OF Michi-
gan, chairman of the Dem6cratic Ma
tional Congressional Campaign Com
mittee, was expected to make the
most important contribution to the
free tolls argument in the House,
where the debate on the Sims repeal
measure was more than half COM
pleted
GaIllneer Resolution Up.
In the Senate the Gallinger resolu-
ton, declaring it the sense of Ameri-
cans that Congress has the right UNI
der the treaty to deal with America
shipping in the canal as it pleases,
was up for discussion. The bill and
resolution by Senator Lewis, OF Mi
nois. granting to the President the
power of suspending free tolls when
ever he deemed it in the public in
terest to do SO, also were the subject
of discussion
In the Huose great interest CEN
tered on the speculation as to what
Speaker Clark would say in his
speech tomorrow when he will close
the debate against repeal. Rumors
were current that he would attack
Secretary Of State Bryan No word
Of his text was divulged by the
Speaker, who contented himself with
admitting that he would take an
hours time to express his sentiments.
EmbezzIer of Power, Says Vardsman.
That the Senate will be torn by an
even more bitter contest. and one far
more prolonged than that which was
waged in the House is conceded by
both sides. Members Of the Admin
istration party who have been watch
ing the House fight are preparing for
a long oratorical siege in the upper
chamber.

dent Wilson for the repeal Il agree
