each committee shall can meeting in
their respective cities and towns for
organizing Local ola Home Week AS
Suciations."

that the people will carry it through

DYNAMITERS CONVICTED.
Men who Tried TO Blow Up welland
Canal Given Life Sentence.

Welland, Ont, May 25.--Karl Dullman,
residence unknown; John Walsh and
John Nolin Of Dublin, Ireland, but lat
terly of Washington and Richmond, Va,
were today convicted by Chancellor Boyd
and jury of having attempted TO wreck
lock twenty -four of the Welland canal
with dynamite and sentenced to impris-
onment for life in Kingston penitentlary.
Walsh and Noin were the active partic-
ipants In the crime, having lowered two
valises filed with dynamite and with
fuses attached alongside the lock, but ow
ing to mistake in calculating the dis
tance TO the waters edge, the force of the
explosion was minimized and the damage
was triiiing. Dullman accompanied the
men to Niagara Falls and d irected pro-
ceedings from there. The three men were
caught almost redhanded. The jury
was out only five minutes, arriving at the
guilt of the accused. No evidence was
produced as to the motive of the men al
though the crown claims that it was
hatched by the Clan Ma Gael.

The train was met at Quantico by a re-
ception committee from Fredericksburg,
which, accompanied the Presidential par

the hospitalities Of the local committee.
The procession formed at the depot and
headed by the marine band moved at
once to the court house where the public
