With the Atlantic Fleet off the
Virginia Capes, July 15.?Battleship
fire was necessary to sink two German
destroyers, S-132 and the V-43, to-day
after two destroyers of the American i
fle.jt poured sixty shots at them without
sejlous results.
The battleships Florida and Delaware
sent out 280 rounds before finally, full
of holes, the recent enemy craft were
waJlowed by the ocean. A total of 340
shots was fired.
The sinking of the two German dernvnra
th<? rfiannsal nf a. trio
of them awarded to the United States
under an allied agreement, the other,
the G-102, having been sunk on Wednesday
in twenty minutes by army airplanes
flying 100 miles over the ocean ;
from Uangley Field. Virginia. The tests j
to-day were 100 miles from shore.
The entire day was required to sink j
the two destroyers, the operations start-1
Ing at 11 o'clock, after two hours delay!
and incomplete until 7:07 o'clock tonight
when the V-43. riddled with shell
from the .Delaware, went under, one
hour and seventeen minutes after the
battleship Are began.
Shots Fired nt Battle Speed.
The S-132 went down at 4:50 o'clock,
twenty-seven minutes after the battleship
Florlcui began firing. The rules
provided f?' sinking by destroyers with
four Inch guns, the destroyers to run
at a battle speed of thirty-five knots.
The American destroyers Deary and j
Herbert were assigned to the firing, one i
fo each of the Germans, but they were j
to make the run with others as a division.
There were five in the forma-1
tion, including the Dickerson, Sicard
and Schenck. The range was fixed at
5,000 yards.
The sea was rough and the sky overcast
when the destroyers started, circling
the battleships of the fleet. After
much delay the destroyers reported that
with a rough sea they would have to
reduce their speed, since firing under
the prescribed conditions would be In- j
effective. The speed for the firing was j
fixed at 20 knots and the range at >
between 2,600 and 5,000 yards.
The Leary made two direct hits on i
the V-43, one on the bridge and the !
second on the starboard bow. They
were the sixth and seventh shots. The :
Herbert made two hits on the S-132, but i
with ricochets. There were six holes in :
here, three at the water line, one on the
bridge and two in the funnels.
The board of observers reported after- ,
ward that the S-132 was in a sinking
condition as a result of the hits, but she
remained afloat until the battleship !
Delaware finished her, six hours later.
nattleahtps Fire Swiftly.
The shots put by the battleships, following
the failure of the destroyers,
were so rapid, 110 rounds for each In
ten and thirteen minutes respectively,
that no record could be kept of the hits.
The Germans were literally riddled.
The Florida had difficulty getting the
range of the V-13 at first, but closed
In soon, so that the score was more
perfect toward the close. Within j
twenty-seven minutes after the firing J
stopped the destroyer, which had been
f-et afire on the bridge, dipped bow forward
into the water and, with some
hesitation, went under. As she staggered
and twisted the stern stood
straight up. fully a hundred feet In the
pjr. and then shot down.
There were innumerable hits. The first
and second landed squarely on the j
bridge, rending out a cloud of smoke j
that concealed many others that fol- j
lowed. When visibility wes reestablished.
the after deckhouse was aflame'
and there were holes all over the hull.
The later shots were not so good, due
to the changing of the range.
When the V-43 had gone down the battleships,
the line of which included the
Florida, the Delaware, the North Dakota
and the Pemay.vaiia, steamed back
to their position of 10,000 yards, turned
and gathered speed for renewed firing.
The Delaware then did the shooting, 140
rounds In eight minutes.
The 8-132 went down in an hour and
four minutes after the firing ceased.
The battleships were steaming at ten
knots. The secondary batteries only
were used, Ave inch guns. The range
varied from 5,000 to 8,000 yards.
Both the German destroyers offered i
smr.il targets, as they were of less than!
?00 tons displacement.

a few minutes, went to a telephone.
The officials in charge of the Investigation
said she communicated with Eberhardt?told
him her husband was on the
road to View Point and asked him to
take care of her and the daughter In
case of trouble.
Eberhardt received the message in his
slow, phlegmatic way. He turned to the
child, who was standing at his elbow
as he hung up the receiver.
"If that man tries to come In here to '
abuse you and your mamma I will kill1
him. Then, of course. 1 will kill my- j
self."
Helen, the daughter, only 14 years
old and too much of a< child to un- j
derstand the meaning of his words. I
merely stared at him. Cut the household
waited, tense with excitement.
Qulrin, the butler; Mrs. Hemming's
maid, and the cook waited to hear the
buzz of the motor that would mean the
return of Hemming.
He Cursed His Wife.
Hemming sprang out of the automobile
as It pulled up at the porte cochere. '
The brilliant light overhead threw him ;
into relief as he assisted MrH. Hemming
from the cai and pushing aside her'
outstretched arm started for the door.
According to information given the Investigators,
.Mrs. Hemming ordered him
to remain outside. He cursed her, It
was said, and planted himself in the ;
entrance. Bberhardt leaped in front!
of the servants and barred the way. |
Then Hemming made his last move.
He tried to shove the caretaker aside.
Bberhardt shot coldly and deliberately.
His first bullet missed. The next two
reached the target. Hemming fell with
a shot through the nbdomen and another
in the brain.
Mrs. Hemming was out of her senses
from fright and shock. The servants
the terror of the moment. Eberhardt
looked at the body, passed his hand I
across his eyes dazedly muttered to j
himself, then walked slowly Into the
houfe. He passed the butler. Quirtn.
"I bo upstairs now to shoot myself," |
he said quietly.
Quirln caught at his arm" but Eberhaidt
shook him off and walked rapidly
to the stairway. As he climbed the
steps he called to Helen, cowering In
the hall:
"I had to kill a bad man. Now I
kill myself. Good-bye."
His door closed. There was a half
minute of utter silence. Then came two
shots. Qulrin broke open the door presently
and fou-id Eberhardt dead, a bullet
in Ills brain from the same gun that
had ended Hemmings life.
TIemming's chauffeur, Joseph Schmidt,
drove to Northport for a doctor and a
constable, finding hotli. Mrs. Hemming
was in a bad way, and was under tlie
doctor's care all of yesterday.
Coroner Gibson and Deputy Sheriff
Puggs went to View Point from Huntir.gton
nnd held an inquest.
"Plain case of murder and suicide."
said tim Coroner. "Officially it is finished.
My talk with Mra. Hemming satisfied
me that there was nothing to hold
her for. As for Eberhardt, I am satisfied
that It was his strong affection for the
little girl nnd his loyalty to his employer
that impelled him to shoot. He
took his job seriously."
Mrs. Hemming, who is .T9 and attroc
plexion. godd features and trim figure,
was married about fifteen years ago to
George H.mderson. who owned Duck
Island, an estate of fifty acres, which
,1ud out penlnsulawise into Northport
Harbor of Dong Island Hound, and who .
l>esldes had property of considerable
value. When he died he Dft this property
to his widow, property easily worth
$100,000. Since then Mrs. Hemming has
lived there for the greater part of th>
>ear, although In the winter she usuallv
took an apartment at a N'ew York
hotel. /
Her second husband was at one time a
real estate operator in this city named
Kichnrd Van Wyck Thorn, who disappeared
just ahead of the police. They
were married on December 16. 1316, and
Just twelve days later a general alarm
was out for Thorn charging him with
forgery, the complainant being Gilbert
H. Montague, an attorney of 40 Wall
street, who claimed to have been victimised
of $6,000 by forged mortgage and
title Insurance papers.

ELLIS ISLAND DRAFT
DENIED BY OFFICIALS
Acting Commissioner I'll I Calls
Storv of $500,000 Extori
tions a Libel,
From all sides yesterday came vis- i
orous denials of a report, published In
a morning paper, that there was a graft (
ring extracting $500,000 yearly from j |
Immigrants on Ellis Island. Frederick
A. Wallls, Commissioner of Immigration '
here, was quoted as the authority for
the statement, but attempts to confirm j <
It failed, owing to the fact that Mr. ,
Wallls left town yesterday.
The story, published In connection
with the temporary suspension of Augus I
tus P. .Srhell. hoad of the law division
on the island, brought denials not only
from Alexander I. Rorke, attorney for '
the accused man, but sii.-io from rank-f
Ing officials at Ellis Island. Mr. Wallls, .
In tHe published story, did not accuse i ,
Mr. Schell directly of participation. | 1
Other officials said yesterday Mr. ] '
Schell'g suspension had nothing to do 1
with any graft ring or with any other ]
employee on the island. ,
"This story Is absolutely untrue," ,
Byron H. Uhl, acting Commissioner of ,
Immigration, said in the ubsenee of Mr. \
Wallls. "I haven't been able to get ,
In touch with Mr. Wallls to-day, to ,
see if he was correctly quoted, so 1 ,
I do not want to say much nbout It. (
I must say, however, that It Is a gross I
libel on an honest and efficient force."
Mr. Rorke Issued a statement pointing
out that his client, under the department
procedure, had been suspended on
vague charges without an opportunity
to answer or confront witnesses against
him. He also revealed that Commissioner
Wnllls, In suspending Schell. was
acting tinder orders of the Deportment
of Labor in Washington and not on his
own authority. Mr. Korke demanded
an open trial of Schell, saying he was

fact, been married to her older slater
When hla first wife died he paid court
to the younger, and in May of this year
they were married. Hemming waa 49
and was born In Philadelphia. For at
least eighteen years he had been an Investment
broker In the WaJl Street dls
Broad street, under a firm name. He
was supposed to have been successful
and prosperous, though this would not
seem to be borne out by his constant
appeals to Mrs. Hemming for money and
by the fact that he pawned articles of
Jewelry' belonging to her.
Mrs. Hemming told the Coroner, Dr.
William B. Gibson. and the Deputy
Sheriff, Amzt Biggs, both of Hunttngton,
that Immediately after the wedding Hemming
began not only to appeal to her
for money, saying that business was
poor and that he needed a little capital,
but hinted broadly that It would be
well If she would transfer her property,
real estate and securities that had come
to her from Henderson, to him. About I
ten days after they were married Hemming
discovered that hia wife had transferred
title In the Duck Island estate
to her daughter Helen.
That seemed to infuriate him, she j
said. He upbraided her more and more
violently, finally sinking to abuse, not
only to herself, but V> the child. Eberhardt,
whom she had had in her service
for four years, having hired him from
an agency In New York, was familiar
with this state of affairs, and used to
pet little Helen and console her after
one of the stepfather's tantrums, and
when, within two weeks after their marriage.
Mrs. Hemming told Hemming she
no longer could live with him she gave
her husband some money and told him to
clear out, that she didn't care ever to see
him again. In the meanwhile, she said,
he* hod pawned several pieces of her
jewelry, retaining the tickets himself.
They were found in his pocket yesterday
by Coroner Gibson.
At his home last night Hemming's
son made It known that he had tried
desperately to dissuade his father from
the motor trip that ended in the shooting.
His Son Tells Story.
satner ana .Mrs. nemming, hp said,
"met by appointment at the Pennsyl-van
la Station. And they came here to
discuss their estrangement. Father
pleaded with Mrs. Hemming for a readjustment
of their married life on a
basis that would be satisfactory to both
of them.
"After they had talked here for an
hour at least Mrs. .Hemming said she
must return to Northport. Father Insisted
on driving her back home, and
she said :
" 'Harry, please don't come down with
me, for if you do Frank will kill you.'
"My father was rather hotheaded by
nature and not to be frightened, a->d
because ho had had trouble with this
fellow Eberhardt before he was especially
determined not to be frightened
off by such a statement. So ho said:|
'That's nonsense, and even If he kills me
I am goin-5 down there with you.'
"Mrs. Hemming then turned to me. ;
'Oh, please don't let him come.' she said I
'I know Frank will kill him.'
"That gave mo a runny feeling. 1
tried again to stop father from making |
the trip. 'Father.' I said. 'I have a i
presentiment that something terrible
wiil happen if you go out there. Please
let Mrs. Hemming go on alone.'
"Well, father just laughed at me,
too. He showed how lightly he held
our feet's for ills safety. They left and I
the next I heard of him was the message
that said he was dead. I went dowu
there to get his body."
Mrs. Hemming's attorney, Nortnan W.
Kerngoud, described the cause of the
estrangement as Hemniing'.s treatment j
of his little stepdaughter, Helen Mender- i
son. There whs a violent quarrel over |
h?r two weeks after tue marriage, which |
took place on May 21.
It was said by others that Hemming's :
temper was fanned by the attitude of
Kberhardt, who, though r servant for
four years, apparently considered his
mistress's new husband in the light of
an interloper. Once or twice. Hemming
ordered the caretaker off the place. The ,
man resented the orders that were dung
at him, and this resentment, coupled
with his sense of duty toward the little
girl, impelled him, it is believed, to
decide quickly Thursday night that his
big calibred revolver held the solution
of the trouble he saw around him.

sfEW YORK HERALD,
MONSON IS BURIED "
AS MILITARY HERO
Liaison Runner. Who Brought
Help to 'Lost Battalion,'
Goes to His Rest.
John J. Monson, liaison runner, who
got through the German lines In the Argonne
Forest the night of September
29-30, 1918, and brought help to the First
Battallan of the 308th Infantry, which
had been surrounded and cut off for
twenty-four hours, went to his grave a
hero yesterday. Although at the time
of his death from tuberculosis In Bellevue
Hospital July 8 he was listed as
absent without leave from Company A,
Sixty-first Infantry. In which organization
he enlisted after his return from
France, Secretary of War Weeks issued
orders that he be buried with full
military honors In the National Cemetery.
Cypress Hills, Brooklyn, and that
his army record be fully cleared.
Escorted by the Second Corps Area
Band ffom Governors Island, a firing
squad from the Twenty-second Infantry,
scores of his former comrades and delegations
from patriotic societies, Monson's
body was taken from the undertaking
rooms at 954 Amsterdam avenue
to the Church of the Ascension, 221 West
197th street, where Father A. C. Dineen,
chaplain of the Twenty-second Infantry, |
said a solemn high requiem mass. The
Rev. James J. Halllgan. formerly chaplain
of Monson's old regiment overseas,
was one of the deacons, and delivered
the eulogy.
"In his heart burned the fire of pa
triotism which had deveoped during the
course of his humble life In this metropolis,"
said Father Halllgan. "Heroism
such as his Is not the birth of a
single moment, but the result of constant
acts of faithfulness to dutv. Unles.s
the spirit of man has obtained
ascendancy over human weakness it is
impossible for ore to rise to heroism
such as his. The lesson for us in his
iife is that we owe allegiance to country
and to God."
After the service the procession moved
down Broadway to Ninety-fifth street
in the rain. The windows were crowded
and bared heads greeted the flag draped
casket. Lieut.-Col. Charles Whittlesey,
commander of the "Lost Battalion," to
which Monson belonged, marched In the
rear of the hearse, as did Jacob Hersko- ;
witz, one of the dead soldier's compan- .
ions in the "Lost Battalion." Lieut. ;
Arthur McKeogh, who with Herskowitz
shared in the dangers of breaking j
through the German lines, Joined the j
funeral cortege at the cemetery. Hersko- I
wltz, who has received similar decorations
himself, carried Monson's medals?
the Medaille Militalre, the Croix de
Guerre with Palm, and the Distinguished
Service CroBS?on a cushion in his
hands. ?
Capt. William Tate, Jr., commander
of Monson's company, followed, as did
Leo C. Weiler, commander of the 308th
Infantry Post, American Legion; Frank
De Marcos of the Knights of Columbus,
Lieut. Georges Fenck, representing the
Federation des Veterans Franeais. and
Miss Margaret A. Bogarf and other representatives
of the Women's Overseas
Service League. Members of Monson's
company matched on eliher side of the
hearse as pallbearers. Mrs. Mary Furey
of 269 Fifty-sixth s'reet. Brooklyn, Monson's
half sister, walked in the procession
with her two children and husband.
David T. Bloomer, a cousin, was another
of the mourners. Another half sister,
Mrs. John Chelan, Is in the Cumberland
gfioef llnsnitn! ttrnnklvn mid
could noi ntter.d the services.
Three volleys were rrred over the
grave, a bugler sounded taps and there
was a short service conducted by .Father
Dlneeti and Father Halligan. Several
hundred persons were present at thecemetery.
Ideut. McKeogh said yesterday that
soon after he, Monsoti and Herskowlt/.
started through the woods to bring help
to their belengured comrades they separated.
believing their chances of getting
through would thus be enhanced.
Moncon, so the lieutenant said, saw a
dim figure through the trees. Believing
It was one of his comrades he
sought to attract tho man's attention,
but in vain. Monson crept slowly toward
him and could have touched the man
with his hand when he suddenly discovered
that his supposed comrade was a
German. .Monson fired four revolver
shots into the breast of his enemy and
went crashing through the thick growth
toward the American lines, McKeogh
said.
There lias been some confusion over
the exploit of .Monson, Herskowltz and
McKeogh, which is due entirely, It was
explained yesterday, to the fact that
l.ieut.-Col. Whittlesey's command?ine
"Ixwt Battalion"?was cut off a second
time a few days later, from October 2
to 5. I'pon this second, and more
famous occasion, another soldier, Abraham
Krotoshinskl, made his way through
the Germans and brought help after several
runners had been killed. He too
obtained tin* Distinguished Service Cross.
CHEW DOES NOT TESTIFY.
Capt. Beverly Grayson Chew, on trial
at Governors Island charged with forgery
and other offences, declined yesterday
to go on the witness stand in his
own defence.
The defence closed Its case and today
the opposing counsel will argue before
the court-martial. Felix Herman,
who said he was a npphew of Herman
the magician, a vaudeville performer,
testified yesterday in connection with
Mrs. Chew's stage career under the
stage name of Jean H. Sothern.

SATURDAY, JULY 16,
NEXT HOUSE TO HAVE7
460 IN MEMBERSHIP
This Would Be an Increase of
25, Only Two States Losing
a Member.
t Sptcial Prspntch to Tif? New Tu?k Hb?*i.D- '
New York Herald Bureau. 1
Washington. D. C.. July IS. S
An increase In the membership of the
House to 460. which means 25 added j
members, probably will be recommended
i by the Census Committee when It re* j
ports the reapportionment bill. Representative
Slegel (N. Y.), committee
Chairman, said to-day.
The reapportionment bill which must '
be enacted after each decennial census,
probably will bo taken up after the
tariff and revenue bills are passed by
the House. Mr. Slegel said. The committee
during last session recommended ,
\ an increase from the present membership
of 43f> to 485, but the House decided
its size already was becoming unwieldy
and voted against any increase. The bill i
was blocked by the Senate, which was
said to favor some increase, but Indications
are that the House may stand by
its previ.outt action.
The plan to increase the House to 460 \
members is supported by those who do
not desire State delegations reduced.
Under this flgu re only two States. Maine :
and Missouri, would lose a member, because
their growth in population during
the last decade has not kept pace with
that of other States. Under this figure
the ratio of population of each Repre- j
sentative would be 288,882. Two meth- j
ods for dividing this ratio into the j
: population of the various States have I
been discovered, one being supported by |
the Census Bureau and the other bv I
si me professors of Harvard University. I
But, strange to say. these two methods
work out exactly the same on a House
of 460. No one can explain why tne two
methods differ on other figures.
If the increase is made at 460. sixteen
States will gain membership. California
will gain four, Michigan and Ohio three
each. New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania,
Texas, two each ; Arkansas, Connecticut.
Georgia, Illinois. Massachusetts,
and Washington, one each.
If the House Is kept at 435, the ratio
'of representation will be 242.215. as compared
with, about 212,000 at present.
Kleven States will have their representation
reduced and eight increased. _ These
decreases will be Missouri, two ; Indiana,
Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, I.oulsiana,
Maine, Mississippi, Nebraska, Rhode Island
and Vermont, one each.
The Increases will be In these States:
California, three: Michigan and Ohio,
two each ; Connecticut. New Jersey,
North Carolina, Texas and Washington,
one each.
Should the increase be to 480 members,
twenty-five Suites would receive
additional representation. These are California,
five; Michigan. New York. Ohio
ai d Pennsylvania, four ; Texas, three ;
Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey and
North Carolina, two; Alabama, Arkansas.
Connecticut, Georgia. Maryland,
Minnesota. New Mexico, Oklahoma, Oregon,
South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia.
West Virginia. Washington and Wisconsin,
one each.
