GENERALLY OBSERVED Corner Stone of Memorial Laid on Site of His Birthp'ace. ADDRESS BY THE PRESIDENT? Sectional Feeling Blotted Out at Event, and an Effort Made to Forget Prejudices. February 12th was generally observ- ed throughout the United States in commemoration of the centennial an- niversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln. One of the most interesting exercises was the laying of the cor- ner stone of a marble memorial on the Lincoln farm near « Hodgenville, | Kentucky. This farm was bought by the Lincoln Memorial and the building is being erected bY popular. subscription to mark Lin- coln’s birthplace and all time the little log cabin in which the martyred president was born. Five ‘special trains arrived at Hod- genville from Louisville during the morning, the fourth bringing Gover- nor Wilson and staff, and when, ust before noon the President’s train ar- rived and its distinguished citizen alighted, the air cracked with cheers. | The President, his wife and daugh- ter, with Secretary Loeb. entered two carriages and preceded by the band and company of the First Kentucky Regiment, moved on to the cabin site.

The parade drew up at the side of | and Mrs. the Roosevelt, the cabin Pre:ident, goverenor, the | Miss | Roosevelt, Mr. Loeb and memberes of | the centenary committee entered the | tent to the applause of its occupants and took their seats in an improvised platform near the flower mantled cabin. Close to this lay the cornerstone of | the new memorial temple in its bed of mortar. and a derrick was manned, ready to raise the huge stone into place when the President had snread the cement on its broad side with the silver trowel which lay upon the ros- trum. Following delivery of the impres- give invocation. former Governor Jjo- seph Folk of Missouri, who is presi- dent of the Lincoln Memorial Asso- ciation, gave some introductory re- marks, telling the purpose of the asso- eiation. : He was followed by President Roosevelt, who laid the cornerstone, putting into its receptacie appropriate papers, which were sealed by Nicho- las Koenigstein, of Hodgensville, and the stone was raised into place. The President, in part, said: “As a people we are indeed beyond measure fortunate in the cnaracters of the two greatest of our public men. Washington and Lincoln. Widely though they differed in externals, the Virginia landed gentleman and the Kentucky backwoodsman, they were alike in essentials, they were alike in the great qualities which rendered each able to render service to his nation and to all mankind such as no other man of his generation could or did render. “Bach had lofty ideals, but each in striving to attain these lofty ideals | was guided by the soundest common | sence. Bach possessed inflexible cour- age in adversity, and a soul wholly unspoiled by prosperity. Each pos- sessed all the gentler virtues com- monly exhibited by good men who lack rugged strength of character. Each possessed also the strong qual- ities commonly exhibited by those towering: masters of mankind who have too often shown themselves de- void of so much as the understanding of the words by which we signify the qualities of duty, of misery, of de- votion to the right, of lofty disinter- estedness in battling for the good of others. “There have been other men as great and other men as good, but in all the history of mankind there are no cther two great men as good as ‘these, no other two good men as great.” The President yielded to Governor Wilson, who spoke on behalf of Ken- tucky for her greatest son. Gen. Grant Willson, for the Federal army, and Gen. Luke E. Wright, for the Confederate army, were then heard. The President and other dignitaries boarded a train at 2:30 and the cere- monies, until William H. Taft in April dedicates the completed mem- | orial hall, were ended. Aside from the speakers, the guests of honor were Mrs. Benjamin Hardin Helm of Louisville, a half sister of Mrs. Abraham Lineoln, and Robert Collier of New York, who purchased the Lincoln farm and started the movement for the Naticnal Memorial. Hodgenville, which is near the geo- graphical center of the state of Ken- tucky and not far from the center of populaticn of the United States, promises fo become a new Mecca in America and the Lincoln farm a sec- ond Mt.

Daytona, Fla.—The Hotel Claren- don at Sea Breeze, one of the largest resort hotels on the east coast, to- gether with 10 cottages, was destroy- ed by fire early Sunday. The 215 guests escaped without injury. When the blaze was first discover- ed the night clerk rushed the help to each room, notifying guests, who made their way hurriedly to the streets. The servants became panic stricken and the clerks could no noth- ing with them, one woman biting the clerk badly on the hand. The streets about the hotel are stacked with trunks, suit cases, bed- ding and furdniture. The manage- ment is making every effort to take care of the guests. The fire originated in the coal bins under the Kitchen, and at first il seemed the fire extinguishers would do the work, but there was some dif- ficulty in getting the water faucets working and, seeing that the fire was beyond ¢ofitrol, the guests were noti- fied to run for their lives. The Clarendon was just beginning the secsocn, which promised to be its most prosperous. Every room in the big hotel was engaged. . Among the gucsts at the hotel were Mr. and Mrs. George Seldon, Erie, Pa.. snd Mrs. J. B. and A. J. Cook, Bellefonte, Pa. Twelve extra policemen were call- ed out and they did excellent work. The rocf of the Cherokee, the home Kochersperger, caught from eparks and but for the heroic efforts of Mr. Gibson, a guest of the Sea- side inn, and others who climbed to the roof, it would have been destroy- ed. SIGN PEACE PACT Great Rejoicing in Caracas Over Signing of Protocol With United States. Caracas, Venezuela.—The signing of the protocol settling the differ- ences between the United States and Venezuela has caused general rejoic- ing in administrative circles, and both President Gomez and United States Special Commissioner W. IL Buchannan are being given unstinted praise. The claim most difficult of settle- ment was that of the New York and Bermudez Asphalt Company, which had been deprived of the right to take asphalt from Lake Felicidad and was fined $5,000,000 for ‘its alleg- ed instigation and support of the Ma- tos revolution. The civil court of first instance in August, 1907, found °~the company guilty of complicity in the revolution and taxed the cost of putting down the rebellion, $5,000,000 against it. The court of cassation affirmed the lower court’s findings. Aside from the asphalt company’s claim the principal claimants were the Orinoco Corporation, which was deprived of iron mines, asphalt priv- ileges and hardwocd concessions; the Orinoco Stemship Company, which claimed navigable rights on the Orin- oco river, and the United States and Venezuela Company, which had a concessicn to mine asphalt and build railroads. All of these claims, it is understood, go to The Hague for set- tlement. : FIFTY-TWO BODIES RECOVERED 1!l Fated Steamer Penguin Gives Up Half Hundred Dead. Wellingtcn, New Zealand.—Fifty- two bodies have been recovered from the wrecked steamer Penguin of the Union Steamship Company of Wellington, which went on the rocks off Cape Terawhiti. Six of those aboard the Penguin are unaccounted for. In all ,the passengers and crew numbered about 100. The ship struck abcut 10 o’clock at night, but the captain remained con the bridze, and after his vessel slid into deep water, was able to steer her closer into shore. The seas were running high and the small boats and rafts, which were hastily launched, could not withstand waves. Both boats and rafts were overturn- ed, while the hoats practically sank, the rafts righted themselves again a number of times. Many acts of her- oism were performed.

JAPANESE CENSUS NEXT STEP If Found Necessary Congress Will Be Asked to Pass Exclu- sion Measure. Sacramento, Cal.—Yielding™ to the pressure brought to bear by Presi- dent Roosevelt and Governor J. N. Gillett, the California assembly re- versed its previous position by recon- sidering the former vote on the segre cation of Japanese ~students in the public schools and finally rejecting {he measure by a vote of 41 to 37. The fight for suppression of the bill started on the presentation of a resolution by Assemblyman: J. Angeles affirming the right of the State to govern its schcols but withdrawing the Japanese segregation ‘miéasure pecause of the President’s objection to it, and last- ed until 4 o'clock in the afternoon, when Grove L. Johnson’s motion fur- ther to reconsider his defeated school segregation bill was defeated. Japanese Census Next Step. The school bill is still to be consid- ered in the senate, but there is little chance that the measure will be ap- proved. : «I am highly pleased with the ac- tion of the assembly,” said Governor Gillett. The anti-Japanese forces in the as- sembly were led by Grove L. John- son, and Louis WwW. Juilliard, Demo- cratic floor leader. Mr. Johnson re- peated his defiance of the president and called on the assembly to “stand by its guns.” Governor Gillett said that the next matter to be taken up by the assem- bly would be the proposed appropria- tion of $10,000 for the compiling of a census of Japanese in California. He said that if from the data so gather- ed it were found necessary, congress would be urged to enact an Asiatic exclusion measure. President Congratulates. Washington.—Answering telegrams received President Roosevelt sent the following two messages: Governor J. N. Gillett—Accept my heartiest congratulations. All good Americans appreciate what you have done. Pray extend my congratula- tions individually to all who have aid- ed you. I feel that the way in which California has done what was right for the nation makes it more than ever obligatory on the nation in every way to safeguard the interests of California. All that I personally can do towards this end, whether in public or in private life, shall most certainly be done. * Hon. P. A. Stanton (speaker of Cal- ifornia house)—Accept my heartiest thanks and congratulations for the great service you have rendered. On behalf of the people of the United States I thank the people of Califor- nia and their representatives in the legislature. OPENS WAY FOR KNOX Bill Offered in Senate to Restore Former Salary of Secretary. Washington, D. C.—The constitu- tional bar which, it is generally con- ceded, prevents Senator P. C. Knox from accepting the portfolio of Secre- tary of State in the Taft cabinet will be removed by legislation and the Senator will be left free to become premier in the new administration. Senator Hale of Maine, introduced a bill reducing the salary of the Sec- retary of State from $12,000 to $8,000 a year. Without a word of debate, and with only a few words of explanation from Senator Hale, the bill to remove the obstacles standing in the way of Sen- ator Knox becoming secretary of state in the Taft cabinet was passed by the senate.

Delaware Breakwater, Del.—Driven before a gale that blew sixty miles an hour, the four-masted schooner Sarah W. Lawrence, from Newport News with a cargo of coal for Boston, was blown aground on the Hen and Chickens shoals off Cape Henlopen, Delaware, and is now pounding to pieces. The crew of nine men and a captain’s wife were rescued by the Cape Henlopen lifesavers, after a thrilling exeprience. The schooner broke in two after the ten persons had been taken off. They were land- ed at Lewes, Del. The Cape Henlopen men risked their lives in putting their boat through the bounding seas, but they reached the schooner safely, just as the helm of the Lawrence bcame sub- merged. The crew, with the lone wo- man, were huddled on the fore houxe of the Sunken vessel. With the waves curling over the upper works of the sunken schooner, the lifesavers put off from the tug in a self-bailing life- boat, and began the work of rescue. The captain’s wife was the first taken off, and it took several hours to ef- fect the rescue of the others from the schooner. The woman and crew were landed at Lewes, to await word from the owners of the schooner. REBELS MURDER GOVERNOR Loyal Persian Troops Find Asylum In a Legation. . Teheran, Persia.—A serious uprising has broken out at Resht, capital of the province of Ghilan. The gover- nor, Serdar Afkhan, and several other officials have been murdered by revolutionists, who burned the gover- nor’s palace and the post and tele- graph offices. A panic prevails in the city, and all the bazaars have been closed. The governor’s troops have taken refuge in the Russian consulate. The out- break presumably is connected with the Nationalist movement. LOST IN THE DESERT Searchers Find Death Valley Prospec- tors Huddled in a Cave. San Bernardino, Cal.——The Melrose party of seven, which left Neva rec- ently and became lost in Death Val- ley, has been rescued by searchers, who found the lost prospectors hud- dled together in a cave in the Pana- mint Mountains. For three days the men had been without food, the scanty supply being sufficient for the two women and children. They attribute their go- ing astray to the lack of desert sign posts. PRESIDENT VETOES BILL Objects to Granting of Power of Par- don to Secretary of Navy. Washington.—President Roosevelt vetoed the senate bill authorizing the secretary of the navy to mitigate or remit the penalties of loss of citizen- ship imposed upon deserters from the army and navy. The objection is based upon the infringement of the executive's power of pardon and it is asserted that the bill in its present form would proba- bly tend to increase desertion, while the original draft submitted by the PRvY department was unobjectiona- e. Will Divide $8,000,000. New York.—The will of Mrs. E. S. Cochran, widow of William F. Coch- ran, the carpet manufacturer, of Yonkers, was filed at Yonkers. Mrs. Cochran died here last week. Her estate is estimated at about $8,000,- 000. Many relatives, the servants and a number of charities are speci- fied in the will, but the bulk of the estate goes to the six children of the testatrix. Spends $107,793; Not Yet Senator.

D. Granger ¢, R. I., who represented of Rhode I ] the Sixtieth fon; D. KNOX'S ELIGIBILITY CALLED IN QUESTION Constitution Makes It Plain that He Cannot Be Premier. CONGRESS MAY FIND A WAY Salary Increase of Cabinet Officers Made During His Senatorial Term. Washington.—The point has been raised as to whether Senator Knox is eligible for the secretaryship of State. Since he was elected senator the sal- aries of cabinet officers have been in- creased from $8,000 to $12,000 a year. Paragraph 2 of section 6 of article 1 of the United States Constitution says: : : No senator or representative shall, during the time for which ‘he was elected be appointed to any civit of- fice under the autherity of the United States, which shall have been creat- ed, or the emoluments whereof shall have been increased during such time. dis The matter was called to the at- tention of Senator Knox. The sena- tor considered the matter very care- fully, but refused to say anything for publication until he has given the matter more thought. It is pointed out that the evident intent of the Constitution was to pre- vent traffic in offices or the use of them as rewards and that in the case of Senator Knox there could be no violation of the spirit, but only of the letter of the organic law, the sal- ary of the olice of secretary of state not having been raised for his benefit, but at a time when there was no thought of his return to the cabinet. Besides, the salary is no object to him, for his means are such that he could afford to serve without salary. It is suggested that if the constitu- tional provision is a barrier to his appointment the difficulty might be overcome by an act of congress re- storing the salary of the secretary of state to the former sum of $8,000 a year. The case of Senator Ransom of North Carolina is referred to as one similar to the situation that confronts Senator Knox. Senator Ransom, it is said, was appointed ambassador to Mexico before the expiration of his senatorial term and after the salary of the post had been increased. A question as to his eligibility was rais- ed and Attorney General Olney decid- ed that he was ineligible under the Constitution. He had resigned his seat in the senate and after the ex- piration of “the time for which he was elected” he was sent back to Mexico. DEATH IN CYCLONE Church Steeples Toppled Over, Build- ings Unroofed and Houses Collapse. Philadelphia.—One man was killed, scores were injured, houses were de- molished and many persons had al- most miraculous escapes in a terrific wind storm which visited different sections of this city on the 10th. Robert G. Weightman was struck and instantly killed by a heavy tim- ber blown from the roof of the Block- ley Baptist church. A heavy steeple on the Roman Catholic church of Our Mother of Sorrows fell, endangering the lives of *150 chiudren who attended the par- ochial school. Another narrow escape was that of Peter Maguire, of 4628 Lancaster ave- nue. He ran from his home to save a child who was being carried like a feather in the storm’s path. Just as he left the house the building col- lapsed. The house next door had the roof blown off. The storw was at its worst in West Philadelphia, where both of the above churches are located. The storm lasted only 10 minutes and was ac- companied by heavy rain. WASHINGTON NEWS NOTES. Carriers of inter-State commerce by water. “are subject to the act to regulate commerce only in respect of traffic transportated under a common control, management or arrangement with a rail carrier,” says a decision announced by Chairman Knapp of the Inter-Slate Commerce Commission. It is well understoed among promi- nent officials in Washington that Secretary of the Treasury Cortelyou has accepted the presidency of the Consolidated Gas Company in New York. Mr. Cortelyou has declined to either affirm or deny the statement, but there does not seem to be any doubt as to its truth. Beef for Tommy Atkins, London.—A Chicago firm has been awarded a contract to supply the Brit- ish army with corned beef for a pe- ricd of three years.

The meat will be packed In Chicago under the supervision of British army officers. Prof. Haeckel Retires. Jena, Germany.—Ernst Heinrich Haeckel, the wellknown German scientist, celebrated his seventy-fifth birthday, by delivering the final leec- ture of his university career. The students of the university wanted to have a torchlight procession in honor of the professor, but Dr. Haeckel begged them to desist. Dr. Haeckel has been professor of zoology here since 1862. He will devote the re- mainder of his life to the phylogenetic | museum, fonnded by him. i FAIL FOR A MILLION Lamprecht Brothers & Company Make Assignment and Creditors Stand to Lose Much. Cleveland.—With liabilities running close to a million dollars the firm of Lamprecht Brothers & Company, bankers and brokers, made an assign- ment in the state court to T. H. Bush- nell, who, in a later action in involun- tary bankruptcy in the United States sourt, also was appointed receiver. The immediate cause for the as- signment, it is stated, was the illness of the senior member, W. H. Lam- precht, who was stricken with partial paralysis two months ago, thereby preventing him from giving attention to the business. Lamprecht Brothers & Company are members of the New York Stock Ex- change, the Chicago Board of Trade, the Chicago Stock Exchange, the Cleveland Stock Exchange and the Toledo Stock Exchange. The conceern occupies an entire floor in the big Rockefeller building. ¥ SIXTY SKELETONS FOUND Grewsome Discovery- of Fisherman Recalls Sinking of Ship Many Years Ago. North Sydney, N. S. W.—Informa- tion received here from private sources tells of the discovery at St. Pierre Miquelon, a few days ago of sixty skeletons. The grewsome find was made by a fisherman named Jougand at a place called Anse Allumets, a fishing cove situated on the east coast of the isl- and of St. Pierre, while making ex- cavations for a cellar beneath his house. Speculation is rife as to the reason for the presence of the remains of so large a number of human beings in this remote and unfrequented fish- ing hamlet. Many theories . have been advanced, the most acceptable being that the remains are those of the ill fated passengers of the sail- ing ship Clarissa which foundered near this point in the.year 1846. BUYS THE OLD GRANT CABIN Millionaire to Make Museum Out of Famous Home. St. Louis.—Augustus A. Busch, who recently purchased the old home of General Ulysses S. Grant in St. Louis county, known through the country as the “Grant farm,” has converted it into a model game preserve. He has purchased the old home of the general, the famous log cabin, which, after being knocked down and carried around the country for exhi- bition, has been returned to its for- mer site and occupies a position on the farm overlooking the Gravois road. It will be thrown open to the public as a museum. WILL WELD ALUMINUM Torch Invented Radiates 6,300 De- grees of Heat. Cleveland.—A torch operated by ox- ygen and acetyline, radiating a heat of 6,300 degrees, said to be the most terrific known to science, has just been invented here. By means of this torch it is possi- ble, it is declared to weld aluminum, heretofore regarded as an impossibil- ity. The torch makes a flame that will cut through two inches of solid steel in less than a minute and pierce a 12-inch piece of the hardest steel in less than ten minutes. It would take a saw almost twenty hours to do this work. SIMPLE LIFE FOR HARVARD Pref Eliot Says University Opposes Segregating Rich. Chicago. — “Harvard . University is opposed to luxury and the segregation of the rich,” declared Dr. Charles W. Eliot, retiring president of the univer- sity, before the Religious Education Association. “A few years ago, when I was a student, we had no gas, we drew water from a pump in the courtyard, and when the first carpet was intro- duced considerable complaint was made at this evidence of luxury. We don’t want exactly these conditions to prevail now, but we are opposed to extreme luxury.” To Connect Coal Roads. Final surveys have been made" for a connecting link from Kaylor, Pa., to Reidsburg, Pa., connecting the Western Allegheny railroad and the Franklin & Clearfield branch of the Lake Shore. The surveys were made by the Western Allegheny, which was organized a few years ago by Emmet Queen and other Pittsburg capitalists, but it is intimated the connecting link will be built and operated by the Vanderbilt interests. The building of this link will give the New York Central an entrance to the New Cas- tle district from the north and means the immediate development of large coal properties north of this city owned by the Great Lakes Coal Com- pany. 3 Gaming Devices Destroyed.
