CONGRESS PASSES BILL

Measure Introduced by Sena¬tor Martin Provides $10,000

for Monument.

In the closing hours of the Congressthat adjourned on March 4 a bill waspassed authorizing the erection of amonument over the grave- of JohnTyler, the tenth President of t'nltedStates. In Hollywood Cemetery atRichmond. Wednesday of this weekmarks the one hundred and twenty-lirst anniversary of his birth and thepassing of a few weeks more thanthe forty-ninth anniversary of hisdeath. And with the enactment orthe bill into a law, the only unmarkedgrave of a former President will behonored.to the extent of ?J0.00o. forthat is the maximum of the authorizedtxpendlture. The memory of but otuother President. Thomas Jefferson, hasbeen so signally honored by congres¬sional action. There is now a granlts.slab at the head of Tyler's grave, butIt can scarcely be accounted a monu¬ment, for It was erected by the com¬pany that operates the cemetery.

While In ofllcc President: Tyler wasderisively called the "accidental Presi¬dent" by the Whigs on account of thc-fact that ho was the first Vlce-Fresi-dent ever called upon to assume theoffice of Chief Executive, and the epi¬thet seems, so far as the accidentalpart ia concerned, to have followedhim even beyond the grave. A seriesof accidents beset him through life,and after his death it has been moreof an accident than anything else, thathis grave has been so long unmarkedby a fitting monument.

It was his wish that he be burled athis home, Sherwood Forest. In CharlesCity county, Va. But the State Of Vir¬ginia chose differently, and ho waslaid to rest in beautiful HollywoodCemetery, near Richmond, In what lsjknown äs the President's section. Itwas tho original plan tö bury all ofVirginia's five President's in this plot,but only two.Presidents Tyler undMonroe.now lid there. Even thenfate had not finished, and another "ac¬cident" deprived him of the monumentwhich his position entitled him to.

Shortly after his death the State Leg¬islature of Virginia passed resolutionsauthorizing the Governor to erect asuitable monument out of the Statefunds. This, however, owing to finan¬cial conditions, was never done. Andso the years rolled by, and the matter-was left unfinished until tho action ofCongress on the afternoon of March 3last.In the caso of all othor Presidents ex¬

cept Thomas Jefferson, suitable monu¬ments have been erected by cither pub¬lic subscription or relatives. Only tenfeel away from the grave of presidentTyler Is tho one of President Monroe,over which Is one of the most ornateof monuments over erected above, fhoresting place of a President of theUnited States. It cannot, of course, becompared with tho monuments markingthe giaves of Grant and Lincoln, nor IsIt perhaps as massive as several others,hut so far as ornatcnoss is concernedIt oaslly takes, first place.The body of President Monroo Hea

JOH.N l'VLRR, TEXT11 PRESIDENT OP l.MTED STVTES(From painting by Healy.)In a brick vault, five feet under ground.This is covered by a slab of polishedVirginia marble, eight by four feet,which in turn supports a large sarco¬phagus In the shape of a coffin, with pil¬lars and dome rising above it. Aroundthese pillars is an ornamental cast-Irongrating. The intricacy of the patternof the grating makes it almost impos¬sible to see inside, where, on a brassplate, now dark with age, Is the in¬scription.

It seems a strange coincidence thatone of Pres'dent Tyler's father's clos¬est friends, and a man whom he him¬self greatly admired, was Thomas Jef¬ferson, the only other President whosegrave has been the object of a memorialappropriation from Congress.The tinal passage of the bill throughboth houses marked the culmination of

untiring work on tho part of the Sen¬ators and Representatives of Virginia,as well as others interested in it. Onlyonce in the past thirty-odd years hasa similar bill been passed.in the caseof Jefferson.and for that reason con¬siderable trouble was experienced insecuring favorable consideration. Oncethe bill was favorably reported fromthe Committee on the Library, to whichit was referred by both bodies.

It was first introduced in 1908 bySenator Martin, of Virginia, but failedof passage, and so died with the end ofthat.the Sixtieth.Congress. Again,in 1009, the late Senator Daniel intro¬duced the same bill for Senator Martin.This time it was referred to the Com¬mittee on the Library, whero it re¬mained unconsldcred until late in thepresent session. Then came SenatorSwanson to fill tho unexplred term ofSenator Daniel. He. took Senator Dan¬iel'« place on the Committee on thoLibrary, and at the first meeting he at¬tended had the bill favorably consid¬ered. But lie went oven farthor thanthat, and on the same day on which itwas roportcd by tho committee it waspassed unanimously in the Senate,Tho bill then went to tho House,

SENATOR OLATIDE A. SWAJfflOX,of Virginia,where it was taken up enthusiasticallyby Captain John Lamb, of Richmond,who supported the bill Instead ofIntroducing- a similar one he had him¬self prepared. The bill was reportedby the House Library Committee sev¬eral days before the adjournment ofCongress, but it was only by a stren¬uous effort that Captain Lamb had Ihemailer brought up for a voto, and oven

SENATOR THOMAS ». MARTIN,of Virginia, father of the bill,then h© had to ovorcomo a threatenedobjection on the part of RepresentativeMann, of'Illinois, who, however, finallywithhold It.

N'o sooner had John Tyler succeededto tho presidency through the death ofWilliam H, Harrison, One month afterhis inauguration, than the nickname ofhis Whig enemies began to be almost

. too true. At the very start the CabinetI refused to concede that lie was theI President, and Insisted that he was theI Vice-President, acting President. EvenI .he letter they wrote conveying to hini!the news of President Harrison's death

A'iis headed "To «the. Vice-President'.This, however, did not meet with Ty-trrf's approval, and he made it clearfliat he was the President, and not sim¬ply acting Chief Executive. Thiscaused considerable comment. Ex-President John Quincy Adams wrote asfollows concerning his attitude in thematter:

"I paid a visit this morning to Mr.Tyler, who styles himself President ofthe United States, and not Vice-Presi¬dent, acting President, which would bethe correct style. It is a constructionlp direct violation both of the gram¬mar and context of the Constitution,which confers upon the Vice-Prosident,on the decease of the President, not theoffice, but the powers of the said office.''But little did ex-Prosidont Adamsknow then that in the several similarcases which were to follow the atti¬tude taken by President Tyler shouldbe the same as that of his successorswho succeeded to the office throughthe death of a Chief Executive.The Whigs gave Tylor still anothernickname, and, under tho leadership ofHenry Clay, waned war upon him. "thePartyless President." However. so¬cially, at least, he was popular, and atall his many' entertainments largecrowds were In evidence. At one ofthese there was an especially largegathering, more than 2.000 persons be¬ing present. Some one congratulatedhim upon the success of his reception,to which he repllod quickly, "Yes, tbcvcannot now say that 1 am a Presidentwithout a party."It was during his term of office asPresident that the greatest "accident"which happened in his life occurred. InFebruary, IS 14. the Princeton made atrial trip down the Potomac underCaptain R. F. Stockton. On board titthe time were President Tyler, mem¬bers of the Cabinet, other notables anda large number of women. As was

customary at that time. a. salute wasto be fired while passing Mount Ver-non. Just as it was discharged thegun, exploded at tho breech, killinglive persons and wounding several oth¬ers. Those killed were Abel P. Fpshtir,Secretary of State: Thomas W. Gllmor.Secretary of the N'avy; CommodoreKcnnon, chief of the Bureau of Con¬struction of the Navy; Virgil Muxcy.ex-mlntster to The Hague, arid Mr.Gardiner. ex-Senator from New York.President. Tyler had the live funeralsfrom the. White House, and the bödyof Senator Gardiner lay In si ate thereuntil the day of the funeral. About,the time the accident occurred JudgeUpshur had been called upon to givea toast. Picking up an empty bottle,ho remarked that "the dead bodiesmust be cleared away first." He againlook tip a bottle, which was like-wiseempty, and repeated the iest of a mo¬ment, before. Finally, however, he suc¬ceeded in securing a "live" bottle.William Wilklns. then Secretary ofWar, was saved by a witticism. See¬ing that the gun was about to betired ho exclaimed lokingly. "ThoughSecretary of War, I do not like thisfiring, and believe I shall run." Hethereupon left his position directly beside tho gun and had just reachedsafety when the explosion occurred.However trying that ordeal mayhave been to President Tyler, at leastIt ended in happiness! At the time olSenator Gardiner's death he was ac¬companied on board ship by hi* twodaughters. President Tyler whs soshocked at their great loss and so de¬sirous of extending his sympathy thaihe did all In his power to lessen theirgrief. That friendship ripened intoiove for the eldest, daughter. JuliaAbout thre*> months later PresidentTylor left for New York, and con lec¬ture was riff' as to his going, reasonsof suate and rumors of wars beinggiven as the cause, put in a coupleI of days Ihn mystery was solved, foej lie returned to Washington bringingI Mrs. John Tyler, nee gardinor, backwith him.President Tyler was tiol only thefirst man to become President at thedeath of the Chief Executive,,.nut alsotho first President to bury his wifefrom the White House and to bring hisbride there Tlje first Mrs. Tyler was

an Invalid for many years end died In

1S12. Of the five Presidents which theState of Virginia has given to the na¬tion. President Tyler waa the last. Uuuntil the time he assumed the duties ofPresident he waa tho first man whosename did not contain an "a" and evento-day there is but one other man inthe list about whom the same can b«jsaid.Theodore Roosevelt.John Tyler was born in Charles City

county, Va.. March 29. 1 TOO. He isdescribed by his son as having grownup to the age of a schoolboy with "nI slender frame, prominent, thin Romannose, silky brown hair, bright blueeyes, n mischievous srnile. n silveryvoice, and the favorite of his father."At> the. ago of twelve he entered Wil¬liam and Mary College and graduatedwhen he was seventeen. At nineteenhe was admitted to tho bur. and Im¬mediately entered upon such a largepractice that he became known asthe boy prodigy. Ho was only twenty-one when he was elected to tho StateLegislature, to which otllce he wasalmost unanimously elected live times.At tho expiration of that time he wassent to Congress, where as a Repre¬sentative he served several years. In1825 he became Governor of the Statoof Virginia. Two years later he roturned to Congress, this time as a Seu-a tor. In 1S40 he was elected Vice-President, and a month later becamePresidentPresident Tyler considered the prin¬cipal measures of Iiis term of office the

.settlement with Great Britain in 1S42of the northern boundary of the UnitedStutes and in 1845 "the annexation ofTexas. Abuse was heaped upon hishead for vetoing two bank bills duringIiis term of office. It was this whichturned the Whig party against him.President Tyler, always a lover of his¬tory and poetry, had a great deal ofromanoe about him. and the story ofRobin Hood was ono of the legendsWhich appealed to him most strongly.And so It was when he took his standtor the Constitution and vetoed thobank bills that he likened his being"outlawed" by the Whig party lo the,\ise of Robin Hood, and to perpetuatethe memory of the affair he namedhis home "Sherwood Forest."Following the expiration of his term

of otllce as President, John Tyler re¬tired to his* Virginia home. Later hewas appointed a commissioner by Pres¬ident Buchanan, and afterward madepresident of the peace convention ofIS62. When It was learned that theHouse had adjourned without takingany action on the resolution passedat that convention. Tyler made a speechon the stops of a Richmond hotel, Inwhich he urged Virginia to secede. Hewas made a member of the. ConfederateCongress^ hut tiled before ho took hisseat. IThere is one other office which Pres-iilcnt Tyler held following his retire¬ment from thy White House. He wasappointed overseer of roads in 1847 bysome Charles City county Whigs. Thissome of his friends took to be an in¬sult, but President Tyler accepted theotllce and determined to fuliill it totho best of his ability. By law thooverseer could summon anybody andeverybody In a district to attend tothe roads. A certain rond was slen¬dered all but Impassable by hills andravines, and the. work of repairing itwas extremely arduous, Tyler calledout everybody he could, even thoughit was harvest time and the wheatstood In the fields ready for threshing.The rich Whig land owners were ap¬palled when they beheld their farmhands compelled to leave the fields andwork on the roads, and they protesteato Tyler. He In turn insisted that howas but doing his duty. Finally theyasked him to resign his office. But horefused to do so. slating facetiouslythat offices were scarce and he was by ino means assured of another one shouldho do so. The matter, however, was |finally arranged and the crops saved.Among the busts of Vice-presidentsin the Capitol at Washington 1^ oneof John Tyler. This was secured Inli>PR, and Is by W. C. Mr.Causien. ItIs in the north vestlhnle of tho mainfloor of the Senate, and was purchasedon the recommendation of PresidentTyler's son, Lyon G. Tyler, who con-siders 11 an excellent likeness of hisfather.
