WATCHES STEP
ON FRIDAY, IS
Award to Hero Recalls Sea
Disaster to Detective
Kempski
ON BOAT THAT
LOST 80 OF CREW

City Detective Joseph +. Kempski
although not supersudous in most
things, will never forget the events
OF one FRIDAY. the 18TH" and when
ever this combination occurs again
will watch his step.
The day which impressed this so
distinctly on his memory was Friday,
April 13, 1904, when thirty-three
members OF the crew of the U. S.
Battleship Missouri were burned TO
death in the Gulf of Mexico, near
Pensacola. while engaged in target
practice.
Kempski was reminded OF the dis
aster this morning by the publica-
tion of honors conferred on Robert
Edward Cox. of Belmont. Pa. a chief
gunner in the navy. who had the
unique distinction OF having Presi-
dent Harding pin on his breast the
highest award that this government
makes to heroes. the congressional
medal OF honor, for valor displayed
on the occasion to which the detec-
tive referred.
Mr. Kempski visited ports in all
parts Of the world while in the navy,
but said this morning that on no oc-
casion has he been in greater dan
ger than on that fated day, in the
Gulf OF Mexico. II was his first
target practice. he said. while dis
cussng the event today. and though
assisting in manning the guns on
many occasions afterwards. he did
30 with a vivid recollection OF that
event on Friday, April IS, 1904.
Taking advantage OF the clear
weather, the order had been given
for target practice. A stiff wind was
blowing at the time and when one
sack of'powder In a gun became pre-
maturely ignited. the breeze blew the
flames directly toward the maya
zine. ignited several other sacks OF
powder and endangering the ships
magazine.
Although horribly burned many OF
the crew fought the flames until
death relieved them Of their suffer-
ing. The ship was saved. but when
the smoke cleared away thirty three
horribly burned bodies lay on the
deck
Mr.. Kempsii refused to discuss
his part on that occasion other than
% remark. modestly. "Oh. I just
stuck 20 my post The honors con-
ferred on Gunner Cox at this late
day for his heroic part in fighting
the flames and assisting in saving
the ship In the face OF great danger.
again recalled the incident vividly 10
Mr.. Kempski's mind.

CATION of last Mondays registered
mail robbery by automobile bandits,
who held up mail truck and escaped
with five pouches filed with bonds, Sc
curities and currency.

mite figures but statements issued by
banks and brokerage houses showed a
total known loss OF $S2S,925.
This was exclusive Of large ship
ment Of currency reported to have
been included in one of the pouches
and to have been the main object Of
the robbers. Most of the bonds and
other securities, it was pointed out,
were listed in the owners names and
the thieves could scarcely hope to real
ize on them II was feared these Sc
eurities might be destroyed.
