Where Light Brigade Charged.
Balaklava was one Of the fiercest
battles ever fought. and will be ever
memorable for the charge of the Light
Brigade. No more spectacular exhibit
ton OF nerve and courage was ever
witnessed, and the act was performed
before an audience OF 10000 men, The
charge Of Picketts division OF the Con-
federate army at the battle of Gettys-
burg was made by several times the
number Of men. and was repeated again
and again each time they were driven
back. For desperate tenacity of pur-
pose and heroic determination Pick
etts charge Is more notable but for
dramatic effect nothing could exceed
the charge Of the 600-or. in reality.

ence to mistaken order, rode a mile
and a half between two Russian lines.

and artillery. to capture a battery that

There has always been a controversy

tempts to fix the responsibility for
useless sacrifice of life as well as
useless display of valor.

TELLS DIFFERENT STORIES
Associated Pressl

CHICAGO, Sept. 3O.-After placing
bomb beside the residence of Mrs. Pot
ter Palmer and cutting his coat into
shreds with a butcher knife, piercing
his skin, Fred c. Wahlenmeyer, 26
years old, attempted late last night
to gain entrance into the mansion. He
was arrested.
WahIenmeyer demanded an audience
with Mrs. Palmer, but the watchman
summoned the police. Wahlenmeyer
said he saw another man place the
bomb at the side of the house ana
struggled with him. Later he con-
fessed to having put the explosive
there and cut his clothes to bear out
his first narrative.
Wahlenmeyer, questioned by the po-
lice, refused to explain his motive, say
ing, 'Why did l do it? oh, just for
instance"
The police announced that Mrs. Pal
mer had received threatening letters
recently.
1t is believed Wahlenmeyer may be
member of an organization.
Wahlenmeyer's mother and sister
were found at their home here. They
declared that the young man suffered
from an exaggerated hypochondria
amounting to dementia at times. This,
the police stated after the interview,
probably accounted for Wahlenmeyer's 8
actions last night.
A letter signed MARY" mailed from
zoos University avenue, Des Moines, Ia,
which the prisoner said came from
Mary Cummins, was found on the al
legged bomb thrower. The missive was
addressed Dear Boy" and spoke of
having received kilograms from Wahl-
enmeyer September 27.
Wahlenmeyer is said by the police to
have signed the following confession:
This bomb was made in the base
ment of my home by. myself on the
night of September 27. I loaded 1t with
powder left over from year ago last
July 4, and let 1t lie on the joists Of
the basement until tonight Thursday
at 7:1O. Then 1 took 1t to the bushes
south of the Palmer mansion and re-
turned later. My first story was framed
up The only reason that I can give is
that 1 wanted to get into the lime
