ROSS RECORD IS TRACED
Ward Said to Have Been Mix
ed Up With Woman in
PitUburg in 1915.
WHITE PLAINS, N. Y., May 30.
Search for "Ross," thought to bo the
key to the mystery surrounding the
Ward-Peters killing, extended today in
to Boston, Tvfeere ho wag expected to ap.
pear and tell what he knew regarding
the shooting of Peters by Ward on the
Kenaico reservoir road the morning of
May 10.
Authorities hero are awaiting word
from J. M. Fallon, attorney for tho
Peters' family, us to tho result of his
visit to Boston. Fallon went there last
night in an attempt to see he man
charged by Ward with 'being the 'brains
of tho alleged blackmail ring. of which
Peters was a member.
The New York police have made pub
lie the record of "Ross," who was
tfouud guilty in a blackmail case last
year, and escaped with a suspended sen
tence. Fallon stated tliat he had been in
touch with " Ross" and that "Ross"
(had promised to meet him in Boston and
tell his side of tho affair.
Another angle is that Pittsburgh po
lice are investigating tho conduct ct
young Ward in that city in 1 ! 1 .", when
lie was connected with the Federal Base
ball League.
Jt was reported that Ward had been
involved with a young woman in Pitts
fcurgh and that he had paid 1,001) to
settle a claim for" if 10,000 made by her.
A former district attorney for Alle
gheny county, who 'handled the case foi
Ward was later disbarred.
' , District Attorney Weeks, is also in
vestigating the story that Ward switched
automobiles after the time he sa.vs "e
had his fatal fight with Peters and that
the car, he lias now is not that use.l on
tho death ride.
Coroner. Fitzgerald has definitely put
off his inquest, until-' all the evidence is
cleared up.. ,-It is Bxpected, however,
thatj District Attorney Weeks will place
some !4)f his Information 'before the m w
grand jury i""1 t(
Mrs. Ward has added 1o the perplexi
ties of fife, ease by stating that ncithei
ehc nor -her husband, "will talk until
the ease was over, and perhaps not even
then."

President Harding Says Lincoln Would Have Compromised
With Slavery While Cleaving to the Inheritance Handed
Down by the Fathers. .
(By The Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON'. May 30. "Main
tained union and nationality," rather
than "emancipation," was declared to
be tho supreme chapter iu American his
tory by President Harding in an address
today accepting the Lincoln memorial
in behalf of the American hero. Lincoln
would have compromised with slavery,
Mr. Harding declared, while cleaving to
his great purpose the maintenance of
the "inheritance handed down by the
founding fathers."
Declaring that the new memorial was
fittingly placed near the towering spire
of the Washington monument, Mr. Hard
ing said that Washington, the founder,
and 'Lincoln, the savior, "offered out
standing proof that a representative
popular government, constitutionally
founded, can find its own way to salva
tion and accomplishment."
Tho President spoke in part as fol
lows :
"Mr. Chief Justice: It is a supreme
satisfaction officially to accept on be
half of the Government this superb mon
ument to the savior of the republic x x x.
Somehow my emotions inclino me to
speak simply as a reverent and grateful
American rather than one in official re
sponsibility. XXX. In every moment
of peril, in every hour of discouragement,
whenever the clouds gather, there is the
image of Lincoln to rivet our hopes and
to renew our faith. Whenever there is
a glow of triumph over national achieve
ment there comes the reminder that but
for Lincoln's heroic and unalterable
faith in the union, these triumphs colli d
not have been. X X.
' ' The supreme chapter in history is
not emancipation, though that achieve
ment would have exalted Liucoln
throughout all the ages. The simpln
truth is that 'Lincoln, recognizing an
established order, would have coin
promised with the slavery that eisted, if
he could have halted its extension. Hat
ing human slavery as he did, he doubt
less believed in its ultimate abolition
through the developing conscience of the
American people, but he would have been
the last man m. the republic to resort to
arms to effect its ii'bolition. Emancipa
tion was a means to the great end ;
maintained union and 'natimVirJ". "" rTer'o
was the purpose, hero the towering hope,
here the miprcnin faith'. X X X The
... , . A ,
union must be preserved. It was the
utral thought, the 'unalterable .purpose,
the unyielding intent, the foundation of
faith. XXX Here was the great ex
periment popular government and
constitutional union menaced by
greed expressed , in human chattels.
With the greed restricted and un,
threatening, he could temporize. When
it challenged Federal authority and
threatened the union, it pronounced its
own doom. XXX He recognized the
conflicting viewpoints, differing policies
and controverted questions. But there
were constitutional methods of settle
ment, iiiol these must be employed.
"In the first inaugural address iit
stressed the great general principle that,
" 'In our constitutional controversies
we did divide into majoritie s and
minorities. If the minority will not
iciii-scc, the majority must, or tne
j .nill((,l(. immt c(1
;,,,,.,. alternative, f
cease. There is no
r continuing, th
government is acquiescence on one sides,ro"K sermon, taking as his text Hit
lor the other. If the minority in such
lease will secede rather than ucquiescece,
I they make a precedent which in turn
will divide and ruin them. XXX
Plainly the central idea of secession is
the essence of anarchy. A majority
held in restrain by constitutional cheeks
:iiid limitations, and always changing
easily with deliberate changes of popu
lar opinions and sentiments, is the only
true sovereign of a free people. Who
ever rejects it does, of necessity, fly to
anarchy or despotism.'
"Here spoke the statesman, proclaim
ing deliberate public opinion as the Su
preme power of civilization, easily to he
written into law when conviction should
cmnmand. It ought to be tonic to the
waning confidence of those of today who
grow impatient that empha.ied minority
views are not hurried into the majority
expressions of the republic. Deliberate
public opinion never fails.
"Liter, closing his first inaugural,
when rnxiety gripped the nations t.hrre
spoke the generous, forgiving,
tlietic man of undaunted faith
sympa
" 'I am loath to close. We are not
enemies, but friend?. We must not 1e
enemies. Though passion may have
strained, it must not break our bonhj of
affection. The mystic chords of memory,
stretching from every battlefield and
patriot grave, to every living heart and
heart st one, all over this broad lind, will
yet swell the chorus of the union, when
again touched, as they surely will be,
by the better angels of our nature.'
"But he appealed in vain. Pa.ion
was aflame and war was made the arbi
ter. Americans fought Americans with
eqnttX courage and valor. There was an
ambiguity in the constitution, which on
ly a baptism in blood could efface. One
may only speculate on what another
might have done, Jnit fate seems to have
summoned the one great hero licst fitted
to lead to the union s salvation.
"His faith wtis inspiring, his resolu-
tion commanding, his svfpathy reasiiur ;
infr. Lis feimplitiiy fnlinting, his patience j
unfailing. He vas watn, piti.-tc, '
courage, with hs tiead above the clouds, 1
unmoved by the fciorui which ig a
bout his feet.
"No leader was every more unsparing
ly -ritiojed or luoro bitterly assailed.
He -was lathed by angry totgues, and
,rii!-'jlei jj. pjoc gprH yttil i-i
drank from as bitter a cup as was ever
put to human lips, but his faith was un
shaken and his patience never exhausted.
Bono ono sent recently an illumed and
framed quotation which fell from hi
lips when tho storm of criticism was at
its height:
" 'If I were trying to read,' he said,
"much less answer all the attacks iuada
on me, this shop might us well bo closed
for any other business. I do tho best
I know how, the very best I can ; and I
mean to kep on doing it to the end. If
the end brings me out all right, what JS
said against me will not amount to any
thing. If the end 'brings me out all
wrong, ten angels swearing I was right
would make no difference.'
"He knew, of course, before tho assas
sin robbed him of fuller realization,
that tho end was 'bringing him out all
right. XXX He knew that in tho
great cruiciblo of tiro and blood the
dross had ben burned from the misdi
rected patriotism of seceding states and
the pure gold restored to shining stars in
dear Old Glory again. XXX But 1
cannot restrain the nish that he might
somehow know the monuments to his
memory throughout the world, and that
we are dedicating today, on behalf of
a grateful nation, this matchless memo
rial, whoso forty eight columns, repre
senting forty eight states in tho concord
of union, testify that the 'end brought
him out all right.'

CROWD AT MEETING
Interest in Revival Services at
Main Street Methodist
Church Is Growing- Strong
Sermon Last Night.
Last night, to n congregation that
crowded the galleries, aisles and door
ways, Rev. O. i3. Kirkpatrick, at Main
.Street Methodist church, preached a
words commonly known as the Mispuh
benediction. "The Lord watch between
me and thee, while we are absent one
from another." The sermon was couch
ed in expressive language and was un
der three headings: First, that the
Bible does not recognize real separation
in this life letwoen believers; second,
no real separation comes even in death
to those and 'lietwcni those who love
v hriM ; num. the real separation comes
at the judgment when the sheep are to
be separated from the goats

The singing of the tshelby
Chorus, with Mr. Josh
Lattimore as!
leader was much en joyed by the large
congregation. They came, twenty
strong, and sang with deep feeling the
songs of the church which from time im
memorial have stirred the hearts of both
sinners and Christians.
This morning to a splendid week day
morning congregation Mr. Kirkpatrick
again preached. His subject was "Per
sonal .Responsibility " and he chose for a
;trxt jonn j. 54.42. '-He first fiindeth
his own brother Simon and he brougat
him to Jesus."
The speaker stressed the fact that last
nigni crowded eondition was not con
dircive to great results but that it w.n ajto ,)H th u
splendid time for seed sowing. This , wni(f 0 f.r n j -s
t-vc-iuuK, uc pleaded, must see person u
work being done in the congregation.
Personal work has made the church, ha
made Methodism and was tin method
used by Christ himself. Picked fruit i

John 3: 18, the wortTs which Luther J
declared to be tpc Bible in a nutshe'l ,
the preacher pointed out, were spok m

Rev. Dr. Bruner Emphasizes
Our Personal Responsibility
to Him Special Sermon
Tonight to Men and Boys.
At last nig4it 's service at the First.
Baptist church Dr. Bruuer spoke on llm
theme that each one of us must give an
account of ourselves to dod. We arc
responsible to tod for our acts, lie sai.l
that if God should suspend the ten
commundinents for 24 hours this world
would be a hell, and that if ioi would
withhold His law of gravitation for a
fractional part of a lniiuitu this world
would be in chaos.
Dr. Bruner boHeves in reformatories.
Speaking to the superintendent of a cer
tain reformatory he asked hist the ques
tion, "where do these boys come from,
what do you do with them and where are
they goingf" The superintendent ans
wered him that many of the hoys come
from homes whore the father is dead, 01
had deserted his family, and that the
boy had gotten beyond the control of the
mother and that they were brought there
and placed under religious influence and
trained in many useful occupations in
life and that 9t per cent of them were
sent out from tho institution to beimo
useful, honorable citizens. The secret ot
it all was that, tho suiicrintciulcut was
L genuiue (liristian and lived what he
professed before those boys.
He also stated that the teaching of
the parable of the rich man and Lazarus
was that the reward of the righteous
comes immediately after death and
that the punishment of the uniidly like
wise comes immediately after death. Ho
believe" that there are degrees in heau n
and also degrees of puiiislinint in hades.
He spoke to an appreciative audience
at the morning service and it was good
to note the number of pastors present.
He will preach a special sermon to night
for men and Ixiys, but all are invited.
At the morning service he preached on
the text: "If a man die, shall he live
again?" Job 14: It. It has been ask
ed, "What is death?" h-nn. h;ne said
that is was a cessation of life and t h -n I
the question comes, "What is life."'

Notables Take Part in
Ceremonies of Day. ;
WASHINGTON", May 110. A na
tion's tribute to its glorious dead reach
ed its climax today nt the dedication of
the Memorial erected beside the Poto
mac to Abraham Lincoln by his grate
ful countrymen. A former President
headed the commission which has laT
ished endless thought on making this
stone emblem of American gratitude
worthy of the man whoso memory it
will perpetuate for Americans always.
The President iu person accepted tho
work in the nation's name.
Spread across the wide terraces, tho
tawns and the circling driveways .that
have been wrought to give the memorial
building a setting, were thousands of
Americans and the most distinguished
men iu this country from foreign lands
also came to pay their homage at this
new shrine of democratic, liberty.
Close in about the rising tiers of
marble steps were gathered the meii
who today hold iu their hands the des
tinies of that government "of people,
for the people and by the people,''
which Lincoln gave his life to main
tain, but behind these over a milo wiilo
sweep of the Mall ami clear away to
the base of Washington monumeut a
mile distant from the memorial were
the common folks from whom Lincoln
came and for whom he toiled endlessly
until he was cut down by an assassin's
bullet. . - 4
Foremost among the men who gath
ered at this culminating ceremony of
Decoration Day were the aged veteruiis
of the Grand Army of the Republic, men
who at Lincoln 'a cull put aside their
citizenship for a little while for the

whom they served. But. With thei 1, as
though to give silent evidence ot tho
greatness of his vision, stood other old
and feeble men iu the, Rniy of tho

so to pay homage at Lincoln's feet.

only signsj today of military life except
that the officers and men of the Brit-'
ish flagship Raleigh, now at Washing
ton navy yard, were mingled with tho
thousands of Americans who stood to
hear what former President Taft and
President Harding had to say.
The speakers rostrum was at the head
of the wide stairway that leads to the
souare. marble bulk of the memorial
j where the statue of Lincoln is tho only

houses it. lielow stretched the great
crowd ami the amplifiers from the roof

reached toward the Monument to Wujh
