TAFT PAYS TRIBUTE
 TO ABRAHAM LINCOLN
President Attends Dedication of Mem erisl at 5irthplsee-Nation
 Accepts Log Hut.

Hedgensyille. ky-Beside the crued unlighted mud chinked cabin that was the birthplace of Abraham Lincoln President Taft paid homage to his pre- decessor.
 The Lincoln memorial building in which the cabin has been ensnrined and the Lincoln Farm Ass0cIauun to the guardianship of the Federal Gov. ernment and the President formally accepted the trust.
 The memorial building, the corner stone for which was laid two years ago at the centenary celebration of the great emancipator' birth, was dedicat- sd.
 The memorial building is atop a hill, straight lined granite structure strik- ingly isolated. The President went there first and entered to visit the cabin within. He stopped as Thomas Lincoln must have done to pass through the little doorway and walked about the dingy interior
 The cabin has one room, a small loft, an outside chimney and huge fireplace. There is now one little win dow near ths door, but that was sawed in since Lincoln's birth Except through the open door or from the fire there was no light when Thomas Lin coin brought Nancy Hanks to live there with him.
 At the foot of the hill where the cab in stands and north from it Is the spring which prompted Thomas Lin coin to choose that site for his home when he brought Nancy Hanks to the frontier Broad granite stairs are built now where the path to the spring then lay.
 Troops fanked the stairs standing at attention as President Taft walked from the cabin down to the speakers stand near the spring, With him were Governors Wilson of Kentucky and Folk of Missouri, who Is president of the Lincoln Farm Association, Senator Borah of Idaho and Senator Bradley Of Kentucky.
 The audience massed up the hillside to the memorial building A fine rain began just as MT. Taft entered the speakers stand but it did not cause the crowd to disperse. They stood bareheaded in the rain while Rabbi H. c. Enlow of Louisville pronounced the invocation The benediction was spok- en by Bishop Thomas s. Byrne of ths Roman Catholic diocese of Nashville.
 Following President Taft's address, Governors Folk and Wilson and Sena- tor Borah spoke. Gen. Black of the Civil Service Commission spoke as a Union soldier and Gen. Castleman as Confederate veteran. There were great many blue and gray uniforms and hats in the crowd. From the sur. rounding country also good represen- tation of old negroes had tramped in.

Thief Convicted in Mt. Sterling
Many Years Ago.

An international bank thief, who
has been jailed in all the big cities
in the United States and in most of
those in Europe, is under arrest in
Stockholm, Sweden, charged with
stealing 1000 crowns, or about
So, 900, from bank in that city.
To the police of New York and
London he is known as Billie
Burke, but he told John Svenson,
chief of criminal investigation in
Stockholm, that he was James
William Taylor, and Svenson sent
his picture to New York with a
request for his record
The Record is a long one, for
Burke has been operating since the
late 70's and never attempted to
steal anything that did not figure
up in the thousands of dollars. In
1881 he served six years in the
Albany Penitentiary for stealing
$4,000 from the Manufacturers
Bank of Cohoes, n. Y. In 1887
he was over in Geneva, Switzer-
land, where he served two years
for separating a bank messenger
from his bag containing $4,000.
In 1890 he was in London and tried
to get away with a bank messen-
gers pouch containing $4,000,
but instead spent IS months in Jail.
In 1892 he served three years in
the Frankfort penitentiary for try
ing to rob the Traders National
Bank of this city of $4, 400 on cir
Gus day.
In his raid on the Stockholm
bank he used a cane with remov-
able head, which covers a large
pad of sticking gum, and by which
an expert in its use, as Burke is,
can lift a large package of bills
from the Cashiers cage. About
$4,000 stolen money was found in
his pocket.
