Gettysburg, Pa.--Seldom has the historic Gettysburg battlefield wit­ nessed more impressive Memorial day exercises than those of Monday. The chief feature of the ceremonies was the dedication of the fine monument erected by act of congress to com; memorate the services of the regular army of the United States in the Get­ tysburg campaign of June and July, 1863, and President Taft was the cen­ tral figure in the day's doings. The president arrived early in the morning from Pittsburg, and was met by a committee of prominent citizens and an escort of United States regu­ lars. After luncheon a great concourse of people gathered on the battlefield, and the exercises began. Secretary of War Dickinson delivered an ad­ dress and formally transferred the monument to the Gettysburg National Park commission, the chairman of which, Lieut. Col. John P. Nicholson, made the speech of acceptance. Unveiled by Miss Taft. The shaft was then unveiled by Miss Helen Taft, daughter of the pres­ ident.

BOYS 18 SHARE IN REIMS OMAHA LADS HELP TO CAPTURE TRAIN ROBBER^ Wi: j Find Guns, Tell the Police--R^fleil Mail Bags Discovered in Soh&ol Attic. > *« » Omaha, Neb.--Three Oma»a school­ boys will share in a reward which may reach $20,000 should the three suspects arrested in connection with the Union Pacific train robbery prove to be the bandits. Chief of Police Briggs and two detectives made the arrests Thursday night and will have to divide with the boys. Developments in the running down of the men had their climax Friday in the discovery in the entrance of Brown Park school in South Omaha of six large and two small registered mail pouches, the contents of which had been rifled. Following the arrest in the vicinity of the schoolhouse of three suspects as they were approaching a point where they had hiddfen revolvers and other material that were< discovered by the boys, a> hundred secret service men, private and city detectives early in, the day began to search the lo­ cality for further evidence. The principal and teachers of Brown Park school were thrown into a small panic when they learned what had occurred during the night and an open base­ ment window which had been discov­ ered Monday morning formed the basis of an investigation. Mrs. Nora Freeman, one of the teachers, noticed that a ladder used for reaching the attic of the building, and which is usually suspended from the ceiling by a rope, had been dis­ placed and the janitors were called. Lanterns were procured and two men crawled into the attic. They were astounded to find eight registered mall sacks, two raincoats, a long top­ coat and a pair of overalls. An examination of the contents of the packages showed that every letter and package had been torn open and the contents of value removed. In each case the letters were stuck back into envelopes, the robbers having satisfied themselves with removing money and other valuables. There were several jewelry packages, the contents of which had been-taken by the robbers. The post-office authorities and rail­ road officials are fully convinced that in the arrest of Woods, Gordon and Torgensen they have secured the right men. The chain of evidence al­ ready secured is, in the minds of the polioe sufficient to convict the men, and Chief Briggs believes he will be able to secure a confession from one of the trio. L0RIMER ELECTED SENATOR. Chicago Man Selected to 8ucosed Albert J. Hopkins by llllneie Legislators. Springfield, HI. -- Congressman Wil­ liam Lorimer of the Sixth, congres­ sional district was elected United States senator on the ninety-fifth bal­ lot taken by the joint session of the general assembly.

William Lorimer was born at Man­ chester, England, April 27,1861. When he was five years of age he came to America with bis parents, and in 1870 located in Chicago. At the age of ten years his father died and he became a sign-painter's apprentice and later worked for the Chicago packing houses and for a street railroad company, being a con­ ductor when he quit that vocation to work for himself. He entered the real estate business in 1886, and later became a member of the firm of Murphy & Lorimer in, the building and brick manufacturing business. In 1892 he ran fat-the office of clerk of the superior. court, but was defeated. Three years later he be­ came a member of congress and served the Sixth Illinois congressional district and was again elected for the congressional seat last spring. For a decade he has been a leader of the Republican party in Illinois. Islanders Ask Citizenship.
