Civil War.

There has been delay in the prepara-
tion Of tho stones for the base and
pedestal of the equestrian statue OF
Gen. Philip Kearny. a distinguished

erected in the Arlington national
cemetery. AS a consequence. the FORM
al dedication Of the statue, which had
been fixed for October II. has been
postponed until November II by the
Kearny monument commission, which
has charge of the erection Of the
statue. Gen. Kearny was from New
Jersey, and the legislature Of that state
appropriated the money for his statue
in the Arlington cemetery. There are
many fine monuments and other
memorials in that cemetery. but UP to
this time the erecting there Of an
equestrian statue has been prohibited.
Secretary Garrison waived the prohibi-
ton, however, in the case Of the
Kearny memorial, at the special re-
Jersey and because of the exceptional
features Of the case.

Gen. Kearny lost his left arm at the
battle of Churubusco. Mexico, in Au-
gust. 1S47, and was killed In the battle
Of Chantilly. Va, in 1852. For many
years thereafter his body rested in the
cemetery of Trinity Church in New
York city. In April, 1912. fifty years
later. his body was removed to the Ar
hngton national cemetery and REIN
tered near the graves of other heroes
of the civil war.
At the reinterment addresses were
made by President Taft. State Senator
Prince of New Jersey. representing
Gov. Wilson (now President), and Corp.
James Tanner. 1t is expected that Of
fictals Of the national and state gov
ernments. including President Wilson.
will participate in the dedicatory cere-
monies November IL.
The equestrian group was designed
by Edward c. Potter of Greenwich.
Conn.,. and is reported to be a fine piece
of work. 1t has been cast in bronze

dence, r. l., and will be forwarded to
this city as soon as the PEDESTAL is
ready to receive it.
