The president's address was as follows: The President's Address. It Is eminently fitting that the nation's Illustrious men, the men who loom as heroes before the eyes of our people, should be fittingly commemorated here at the national capital, and I am glad indeed to take part in the unveiling of this, statue to General Sheridan. His name will always stand high on the list of American worthies. Not only was he a great general, but he showed" his greatness with that touch of originality which we caHH genius.

Indeed, this Quality brilliance has been In one sense a disadvantage to his reputation, for it has tended to overshadow his solid ability. We tend to think of hlni only as the dashing cavalry leader, whereas he was In reality not only that, but also a jrreat commander. Of course the fact Lin. bis career most readily recognized was bis mastery in the necessarily modern art of handling masses of modern cavalry so as to give the fullest possible effect not only in the ordinary operations of cavalry which precede and follow a battle, but in the battle Itself liraddition he showed.

TO BE JUDGED BY THE PEOPLE The Revenue Bill Now In Process of Preparation Will Sjbeak for Itself, Says Mi Payne, and Those Wise Prophets or Critics Who Are Judg- Ing It In Advance Are Not to Be Seriously Considered in Forming, an Estimate of the Work Being Done. Washington, Nov. 28.

"We are fully aware that the bill reported from the committee will be judged by the people, not in the light of view of those wise prophets or critics who are judging It in advance, but in the light of what will be learned from the bill itself and from an examination of material before the committee." In these words Sereno. E. Payne, chairman of the house ways and means committee, replied, to a letter from J. W. VanCleave, president of the National Association of Manufacturers, criticising the methods being pursued revising the tariff.

"Of course, If you have no information at your disposal which would aid the committee in the formation of a bill, I can understand your refusal to appear. If you have such information, I cannot see why you do not accept the invitation which has been extended, to you arid which Is still held out to you, should you reconsider your determination," concluded Mr. Payne. In 'his letter to the chairman of the ways and means committee, which was in reply to an invitation to testify at the tariff hearings before the coriimit-tee, Mr. VanCleave says: "We would rather bear the ills of the Dingley tariff than to be a party to a tariff revision made in the old manner.

To appear before you to plead for --certain schedules would be to acquiesce in the superficial and unbusinesslike methods of investigation against which we protest. We have carefully watched all the statements that have been made by you and your associates in recent years, and instead of convincing us of the errors of our ways, we are more than ever convinced that your present plans of gathering information, on which the readjustment Is proposed to be based, is wrong, radically, absurdly, fatally wrong." Mr. VanCleave sets forth his views regarding an "expert, non-partisan tariff commission," and claims that It Is impossible for the ways and means committee in the limited time at its disposal to make an inquiry which can furnish an adequate basis for any such tariff as the country demands. There was little of interest brought Out at yesterday's session of the com- smlttee, which was to finish up the hearing on the metal schedule. While automobiles are to be discussed fully at a later Charles H.

Sherrili of New-York appeared for the importers' automobile in favoring, a reduction on the tariff for automobiles. He charged that there is an automobile trust which expects to get the duty on automobiles increased. "Instead of an 'infant industry' which 4s seeking protection at the hands of your honorable committee," said Mr. Sherrili, "it could more properly be called a trust. Up to now all attempts to break this trust have failed because its foundation is a United States patent which is a monopoly granted by the government." Mr.

Sherrili asked that the duty on automobiles be reduced from 45 per cent to 30 per cent ad valorem, claiming that the manufacture of foreign automobiles involved the use of much American machinery besides" bringing large business to the American carriage he said make 90 per cent of the bodies for foreign motor Girl's Terrible Confession.

MURDER CHARGE WAS IGNORED Jury Accented Court's Instructions that Lamphere Could Be Pound Guilty of Mere Arson, Regardless of Presence of Bodies in Ruins of the Home, and This Phase of the Case Will Be Made Baals of Motion for New Trial, Lamphere's Lawyers De claring Verdict to Be Ridiculous! Laporte, Nov. 27. Ray Lamphere, charged with the murder- of Mrs. Belle Gunness and her three chil dren by setting fire to the Gunness house on April 28, was last evening found guilty of arson by the Jury, which had the case for, twenty-six hours.

Within five minutes after the verdict was reported. Judge Richter had sentenced the defendant to the state penitentiary at Michigan City for an indeterminate term of from two to twenty-one years. Lamphere was taken to Michigan City today to begin his When Judge Richtter asked the Jury if a verdict bad been reached, Foreman Henry Mill announced that the Jury had agreed, And with that he passed the white piece of paper to Judge Richter, wbo after making the entry on his docket, read the verdfet: "We, the jury, find, the defendant guilty of arson, and that he is thirty-eight years old. Henry Mill, Foreman." Judge Richter thereupon asked each juror Individually If this was' his verdict and the answer in each case, was "yes." There was no demonstration from the- crowd, the people having been warned to keep quiet. Previous to the handing of the verdict to Judge Richter, Foreman Mill stated that he wished to make a statement to the court, but Judge Richter Informed him that he could not hear any statement until after the verdict had been received and read.

After it had been read, Judge Richter asked him if he cared to make the statement, but he said that It would do no good now. Before the Jury was discharged Judge Richter expressed his thanks to the jury for its careful and conscientious consideration of the case. Prosecutor' Smith also thanked the jury. Following the withdrawal of the Jury, Judge Richter instructed Lamphere to stand up, which the latter did. His face still looked haggard and his eyes were downcast.

He held his hands before him as though his hands were still shackled and then," just as the church bells In the city were ringing out, Judge Richter asked him If he had any reasons to state why sentence should nbt be pronounced. He replied solwly but distinctly, "I have nohe." With that Judge Richter sentenced him to the state prison in Michigan City for an Indeterminate term of from two to twenty-one years, fined him $5,000 and disfranchised him for five years. The court then instructed the sheriff to returji the prisoner to his cell. 7 Attorney, Worden, for the defense, said that a motion for a new trial would be made and should It be refused, an appeal to the Indiana supreme court would follow. Mr.

Worden declared the verdict to be ridiculous. "If he was guilty at all," said tbe attorney, "he would have been guilty of murder. He should have been The motion for new trial will be based on the court's ins'trutlon that they could find Lamphere guilty of arson. Should the case be carried to the supreme court and sent back for retrial, Lamphere could not be tried 'on jmy charge in this particular case ex-j cepting arson, the crime of which he; was convicted. However, in an event of that kind, the state would elect to try him on one of the other indictments, probably the Helgeleln case.

Members of the jury are reticent about discussing what occurred in the jury room, but it Is said that but for two members Lamphere would have been found guilty of murder or. manslaughter. Several members of the Jury, it is understood, held out long for murder In the first degree with a life sentence. So far as could be learned, none was for Lamphere said that he w.aa confident that the dead body In Ihe fire was Mrs. Gunness, regardless of what other people may think.

He reiterated his innocence 6f setting Are to the He also -declared that he did not see Mrs. Gunness kill Helgeleln. "1 have no complaint, to make about tha verdict. Things looked pretty blue, but the verdict might have been worse." he said. The members of the Jury in a signed statement declared It to be their Ju li(men: that tbe adult body found in t'ae ruins cf the fire was that of Belle Gunness and that the case was deoIdM on an entirely different proposition.

It is stated that but for two Juro- whose names are unofficial- ly used, the Jury would have given Lamphfre a life' sentence, and after i the verdict had been returned, one' of the Jurors said that they would have found him guilty of manslaughter had they: remembered that the sentence for that was the same as for arson. tack the vital organs," Causing catarrh of the bladder, or the kidneys themselves break down and waste away cell by cell.

Americanism Defined. There is another point in General Sheridan's career which it is good for all of us to remember. Whereas. Grant, Sherman and Thomas were of the old native American stock, the parents of Sheridan, like the of Farragut, were born on the other side of the water.

Any one of the five was Just as much a type of the real "American, of whatsis best in America. as me otner rour. vve snouid keep steadily before our minds the fact that Americanism is a question "of principle, of purpose, of idealism, of character; that It Is not a matter of birthplace or creed or line of descent. Here in this countrythejepresenta-tives of many old world races are being fused together into a new type. a type the main features of which are already determined and were determined at the time of the Revolutionary war, for the crucible in which all the new types are melted Into one was shaped from 1776 to 1789, and 'our nationality was definitely fixed in all its essentials by the men of Washington's day.

The strains will not continue to exist separately in this country as in the old world. They will be combined in one, and of this new type those men will best represent is loftiest In the nation's paet, what is finest in her hope for the future, who stand each solely on his worth as a man, who scorn to do evil to others and wbo refuse to submit to wrongdoing themselves, wbohave in them no taint of weakness, who never fear to fight when fighting is demanded by a sound and blgb morality, but wbo hope by their lives to bring ever nearer the day when justice and peace shall prevail within our own borders and in our relations with all foreign powers. -Much of the usefulness of any career must lie In the Impress that it makes upon and the lessons that it teaches tp the generations that come after. We of this generation have our own problems to solve, and the. condition of our solving them is that we shall all work together as American citizens without regard to differences of section or creed or birthplace, copying not the divisions which so lamentably sundered our fathers one from another, Jaut the spirit of burning devotion to duty which drove them forward, each to do the right as it was given him to see the right, in the great years when Grant, Farragut, Sherman, Thomas and Sheridan, when Lee and Jackson and the Johnstons, the valiant men of the north and the valiant men of the south, fought to a finish the great civil war.

They did not themselves realize in the bitterness of the struggle that the blood and the grim suffering marked the death throes of what was worn out and the birth pangs of a new and more glorious national life. Mighty Is the heritage which we have received from the men of the mighty days. We In our turn must gird up our loins to meet the new issues with the same stern courage and resolute adherence to an Ideal which marked our fathers who belonged to the generation of the man in whose honor we commemorate this monument today. Poor Air and Poor Living. When Jim Bridger, the one time famous scout of the plains, grew old he thought he would like to retire from tbe somewhat arduous life of a plaids-man and settle down to the ease of "the east," which to him meant Mlsh lourl.

So be used bis best endeavor to find, a competent man to fill his place and went back to Missouri. A year or two passed, and one day Captain Russell, the commandant of the post which Bridger had left, was lurprlsed to see the old scout heave tn sight When he came in the captain asked "Well, Bridger, what brings you back here?" "Captain," said Bridger, "I want to go baftc to scouting again." "Indeed? Why, I thought you had settled 'down in the east for the rest of yourllfe!" "Well, cap'n I'll tell you how it is. I went back to old Missouri, and if you'll believe it they've got a railroad station within ten mile o' tbe old place sir, a railroad station! And, what's more, they've got a ranch now in every four mile. I tell you what, cap'n, tbe air ain't pure down there no more!"
