Artemus Ward ‘as & devoted and faithful friend to his country,” the president and fellows of Harvard Collegs are to erect a statue of the Revolutionary War hero in the new | circle just authorized at Massachusetts | and Nebraska avenues, out of a $4,000,: 000 fund established by a great grand- son of the same name. The co-ordinating committee repre- senting the Federal Government and the District, which has had the site| for this memorial under consideration, | decided last week that it should be ap- | proximately 140 feet in diamcter, ex- tending to 250 feet 2t the building line. This is considered of sufficient size to accommodate the proposed memorial, which has been approved by the Fine Arts Commission. First Army Commander. ‘The president and fellows of Har- vard, in their plans to carry out the wish of Gen. Ward's great grandson, deemed it appropriate that the statue | should be erected in the National Cap- ital by reason of the fact that Gen. Ward was the first to command the Revolutionary Army. Later he was sec- ond in command to George Washington and also served faithfully in the Con- | tinental Congress and two of our earliest Federal Congresses. Similar memorials have alrcady been erected in Cam- bridge and in Shrewsbury, Mass., where the general lived and died. Three years ago+Representative Rob- ert Luce of Massachusetts, chairman of | the House Library Committee, made a | favorable report to Congress on this | matter, stressing the fact Gen. Ward | was the first commander-in-chief of or- ganized resistance by the Colonies at | the beginning of the War of Independ- | ence. Removed by Governor. As colonel of Massachusetts militia, Ward had won promotion in the Ticon- deroga campaign against the French in 1758. He was removed by Gov. Ber- nard in 1766 because his course as a member of the General Court had led the Governor to think him too danger- ous a man to hold such command. Eight vears later when the break with England was approaching, the officers | of the regiment threw up their com- | missions and organized independ:ntly | with Ward as colonel. Thus when the | Provincial Congress chosc three general | officers o command the militia in the event of its being called out by the Committee of Safey, Ward was named | second of them, and as the man at the | head of the list never acted, Ward led | the army that gathcred on the outbreak | cf hostilities. He was ill in bed when the express rider galloped through Shrewesbury, in| the central part of the Stat>, with the news of Lexington and Concord. But ihe next morning at daybreak he| mounted his horse and set out for Cam- bridge, where he at once took com- mand, thenceforward conducting the| siege of Boston until the arrival of| Washington, a fortnight or so after the Battle of Bunker Hill. Elected Major General. The Continental Congress had chosen | Washington for the suprems command. | By the testimony of John Adams, it is known that Ward was the choice of | “the greatest number,” but his title to| first place was sacrificed by the New | England statesmen to me:t the over-| whelming necsssity of uniting the col- onies. Ward was elected to second place, that of first major general. As| such he was put in charge of the right | wing of ths besieging forces, with head- quarters in Roxbury. There he directed the fortifying of Dorchester Heights, | which led to the evacuation of Boston | by the British and the transfer of the seat of war to_thz middle colonies. | Soon after Gen. Ward's Health failed 50 that he sought to resign, but at the Tequest of Washington and Congress he continued in command of the East- ern Department until a year later, when | it became practicable to relieve him. Upheld Rights of Colonists. In spite of recurrent 1il health, Ward had served his peopl: in many civil capacities over a span of years. Before | the Revolution, as one of the leading | figures in the colony, he braved the wrath of the British governor by up-| holding the rights of the colonists. His | stand with Samuel Adams not only cost him his military commission, but also| nard when he was elected to the coun- | cll. Upon a third election, he was ac- cepted by Gov. Hutchinson, | He was a member of both the Pirst | and Second Provinclal Congresses, and | after he had been major general | sent to the Continental Congress, where for a time he was a member of the Continental board of war. While major general he again was a_member of | the council, and after he had left the military service was, for a time, its president. This meant he was chief executive, for in that period there was no governor. Returning to Massachu setts, he resumed a place in the gen- eral court, being once its speaker. Wins Hearing From Mob. Particularly notewcrthy was his un- flinching course as chief justice of the Court of Common Pleas in Worcester | County in 1786, at the time of Shay's Rebellion.

Bayer Aspirin was meant for armed rioters that had assembled to prevent it, he was met at the door of the court house by fixed bayonets. Their points plerced his judicial robes but he would not yield an inch. His fearless- ness won the day and at last he won a hearing from the mob. For two hours he argued coldly for support of law and order. He could not at that moment convince the | ecrowd, but in the end was allowed to depart without harm. This episode did much to hearten the authorities in their putting down of an insurrection that might easily have spread through the colcnies, with results of the most seri- ous effect on the fate of our institu- tions. After the formation of the Union he was a member of the Second and Third Congresses, refusing re-election further on account of his health. R suming public service as a judge continued as long as his failing strength ould permit. Then after more than twoscore years of unremitting labor for colony, State and Nation, he ended a life that had been marked by con- spicuous worth, complete_integrity and unswerving patriotism, Representative Luce emphasizes. BRTON FACES QU INVALES SHIDLE Harry Geen, Arrested in Phil- adelphia, Said to Have Victimized Prince. By the Assoclated Press. PHILADELPHIA, May 18.—Harry Geen, under arrest here in connection with an alleged $7,000,000 swindle, in which British investors are sald to have been the principal victims, will be given & hearing Wednesday. Geen was to have appeared before a United States commissioner today, but the hearing was put off 48 hours to en- able the Federal authorities to properly prepare their case. Geen will answer to the specific charge that he obtained $70,000 from various Englishmen under false pre- tense. A new warrant against him was ued today by Federal Judge Oliver B. Dickinson on complaint cf George Watson, British consul general here, Other watrants are sald to be on their way here from Chicago, where Frank R. Overbeyer, attorney represent- ing Godfrey Haggard, British consul general there, seeks to have him extra- dited to England. Geen was arrested in a fashionable apartment house in the Germantown section late Saturday night. His arrest was unwittingly brought about by his wife, Cassie Geen, who had come from England at his request and met him at the apartment, where he lived under the name of Gallow. His wife sald she believed Geen, whom she married five years ago, was a stock broker. She sald she would defend him to the end. The Broadstreet Press, Ltd.; the Prince of Wales and other prominent Britishers are said to have been among victims of Geen and his fellow workers, who included “Jake the Barber” Factor, now being sought. ‘The schemes employed included sale of oil wells that did not exist and Flor- ida land completely submerged by wa- ter, officials said. The Prince of Wales, they said, in- vested in ofl wells at Geen'’s suggestion while they were at Monte Carlo several years ago.

By the Assoclated Press. OMAHA, Nebr., May 18.—Death has brought to a close the aerial career of Charles W. “Speed” Holman, 33, of St. Paul, whose name for years had been high in the list of American aviators. He was killed yesterday while stunting upside down at a height of only 20 feet] at the Omaha air races. Death was instantaneous. Twenty thousand spec- tators saw him die. His own magnanimity, his friends said, was the indirect cause of the death of the St. Paul aviator whose stunts in the air had thrilled thousands during the past decade. During a lull in the closing day program Holman volun- teered to go aloft and stunt for the ca- pacity holiday crowd. A stiff, treacher- ous wind blowing above the field. For 15 minutes he had delighted the crowd with his sky antics. Barrel-rolls, outside loops, Immelman turns, each brought spectators to their feet. Then a thunderous crash was heard as his plane fell. It rolled, plowed and bounded its way along for 200 feet be- for. it stopped. The engine was thrown 2 feet to one side and Holman's body was thrown 10 feet from the battered, shapeless wreckage. No official verdict on the cause of the fatal crash had been reached today. Some officlal observers believed Hol- man’'s safety belt broke, allowing him to fall partly out of the cockpit and lose his grip SI the controls as his ship skimmed craz¥y along the earth; others thought that the plane was caught in a down current of air and was unable to right itself becausc of the pressure from above. Holman was operations manager of Northwest Alrways in St. Paul. His first venture in the air was as a wing walker and parachute jumper in 1920. A few minutes before the accident Dorothy Hestor, 19, of Portland, Oreg., completed a flight in which she broke the women's world record for outside loops in a single flight, with 62 loops. She broke her own previous record of 23 and came within 16 of tying the men’s record of 78, held by Tex Rankin, her instructor. MRS.
