Watson, senior U. 8. senator from Indiana, was a guest of Decatur today at the dedication of the Gene Stratton Porter Memorial, TRIBUTE IS PAID TO NOTED AUTHOR THIS AFTERNOON iContin i i d on PAMt si:vi:\> which Mrs Bryce Thomas, is the leader. Dr Ward Speaks The principal address at the dedication was delivered by Dr. Henry B. Ward, national president of the Izaak Walton League of America, who, in his opening remark, paid great tribute to the loved memory of one of America's greatest women. In. Ward said, “We are gathered today to do honor to th memory of one of Indiana's great citizens and first .among all who seek to a wreath of imperishable laurel on her tomb stands the Izaak Walton League of America”. Tributes upon tributes, as fine as the wiitings from the gifted pen of the famed Hoosier authoress, who spent her childhood and early womanhood tn Geneva, were paid by the speaker. The program opened with C. J Lutz of this city, calling the assembly together. Mr. Lutz stated, in a few words the purpose.of the ceremony and then introduced Mr. Riederwolf, who spoke for the izaak Walton League, under whose auspices the dedicatory ceremony was held. Mr. Biederwolf remarked that Gena Strati n Porter was one of the most foremost writers in the country, striving for conservation and preservation of wild life. He stated that when Mrs. Stratton died, the Izaak Walton league lost one of its best and most sincere friends. Seated on the platform besides the speakers and political leaders of the state were: Carl Pumphrey, chairman of the Limberlost program: Mrs. Kate Millner Rabb, noted reporter for the Indianapolis Star; Mrs. Florence Stratton Compton and Mrs. Ada Stratton Wilson, of Fort Wayne, sisters of the late Gene Stratton Porter; M. Bert Thurman, Republican national committeeman: State Senator Thurman Gottschalk a number of Decatur ministers and French Quinn, of Decatur, to whom credit must be given for sponsoring the program and taking the initial Uteps in having the memorial rock placed in the court house yard. The great boulder, dating back to the glacier period was taken from the bed of tlte St. Marys river, about six miles southeast of Decatur, and conveyed to its present resting place "in the court house lawn. Mr. Quinn conceived the idea and gave birth to the thought of moving the boulder from its river bed to this city and dedicating it to the memory of Mrs. Porter. A bronze tablet dedicating the rock to the in inory of the famed writer .was placed on the rock about two years ago. The cost of moving the rock was defijayed laigely by ‘the school children of Adams county. The rock is about 10 by 11 by B’£ feet and it is estimated that it weighs between 40 and 50 tons. Senator Robinson ami Albert Stump who are opposed to each other in the race for United States senator, were seated side-by-side on the platform. They exchanged greetings and kept jip a conversation between each other when the opportunity presented itself.

Indiana’s senior senator spoke on the work of Mrs. Porter and paid tribute to her memory. Governor Jackson, Senator Robinson and Mr. Stump were also given the opportunity to make short talks, they confining their remarks to paying tribute to the memory of and work ( of Mrs. Porter.
