Returning from a speaking date in Virginia, Representative W. D. Up- shaw of Georgla was shown Harry M. Crandgll’'s “In Memorian” and statement concerning the Knicker- bocker sufferers. “Too late,” sald Mr. Upshaw, who lost a niece in the tragedy. “Too late and too empty.” Upshaw's comment follows: “Mr. Crandall's ‘In Memoriam' brings cold comfort to the Knicker- bocker sufferers. It comes about a [vear too late, and, like the barren fig !tree, brings ‘nothing but leaves’ In- |deed, one phrase can properly de- scribe it- o late and too empty! “I know nothing of the current charges which Mr. Crandall numbered and answered, but I do know that if ho has lifted his finger in an agaroe- sive effort to properly memorialize the dead and comiort the suffercrs who survive, those of us on whom the blow fell heaviest have never heard of it. Says Crandall Missed Chance. “How beautiful it would have been if, while the flowers on ninety-eight {new-made graves were fresh with ithelpbeauty and their tears and hun- dreds of hearts were bleeding for the maimed and the dead, he had called all the sufferers together in one of his ‘chain of theaters’ and satd to heart is bleeding with srief is all the greater be- ause your unspeskable sorrow came imrouxh an agency of my credtion and my maintenance.
