The Association

1hC <ASSOSAosioh
 The Lincoln Farm association, un- der the auspices of which the work of erecting the memorial has been done is composed of some of the most prom inent men in the country. The president is former Gov. Joseph w. Folk of Mis- souri, The other officers are Clarence NJ. Mackay, treasurer Charles E. Min CT, assistant treasurer; Richard M. Jones, secretary, and Robert J. Collier, chairman of the executive committee.
 The members of the board of trus- tees are President Taft. Cardinal Gib- hons, Gen. Horace Porter Joseph Choate, Oscar S. Strauss, Gov. Angus tus E. Wilson of Kentucky, Supreme Court Justice Charles F. Hughes, Iy~ man J. Gage, Miss Ida Tarbell, Col Henry Watterson, August Belmont, Jen kin Lloyd Jones, William Jennings Bryan, Charles A. Towne. Thomas Hap tings, Samuel Gompers, Norman Hap good, William Travers Jerome, Rober j. Collier, Albert Shaw and Charles E Miner
 The late Mark Twain was a member of the board, as was the late Edward M Shepard.
 The memorial building stands on a little hill, at the foot of which is the spring which attracted Thomas Lin coin and Nancy Hanks, Lincoln's father and mother, and caused them to settle there. It was on the site of the present building that the newly welded pair built crude cabin of rough, unhewn logs, in the center of the 100 acres of poor land. This cabin was just like the other cabins on the frontier at that time. It was only one room, with a small lift, a big outside chim- ney and a huge fireplace. a rough door. which swung on leather hinges, and. when they moved into it, not a single window.
 Farm Set Aside
 The farm and the old cabin were not set aside to form patriotic shrine until the centenary of the birth of the great emancpator two years ago. On that day prominent men and women from all over the land made a pilgrimage to the little place near Hodgenville With patriotic addresses the Lincoln Farm association took over the place and began the work of raisinD the funds with which to erect the proper memorial Until the associa- tion took it over the title of the farm had only changed twice previously. It to clear Lincolns birthplace of all legal entanglements and litigation.
 About five years after Abraham Lin coin was born his father sold the farm to a neighbor named Creal, whose fam fly kept it for nearly 70 years. Then it was bought by A. A. Dennett of New York. with the purpose of turning it into some sort of national park.

DETECTIVES ARREST
 JOHNSON NEGRO
Charged With Securing Goods From Several Firms Under False
 PretenSeS

Detectives Harry Goldstein and Paul | Cole of the local detective force yes- | terday captured John Johnson, and re- covered a number of articles alleged to have been stolen by him. The case was placed in their hands about noon yes- terday, complaint being lodged with po- lice headquarters by the Alabama Re- pairing and Tire company, Avenue E and Twentieth street, that a negro had ob- | tained goods to the extent of $50 from 1 them under false pretenses
 The detectives at ' o'clock last night had the negro in jail, charged with six cases of obtaining goods under false pre- tenses and one case of forgery and all the goods in each case recovered. In- cidentally they picked up another negro in connection with the case and have him fin jail on two charges of receiving and concealing stolen property.
 From information in possession of the
 detectives 1t seems that the Johnson ne-
 gro forged an order on the Alabama
 Repair and Tire company for goods, sign-
 ing to the order the name of T. J. Weller. man for whom Johnson had formerly
 worked In the course of their investi-
 gation they discovered that the same ne- gro had obtained $45 worth of goods in the same manner from Drennen Co.,, and Loveman, Joseph and Loeb on two diff ferent occasions, the amount from the latter firm being about $50.
 The goods recovered were five auto mobile tires. valued at $175, and an overcoat valued at s15. Learning that he had sold two tires to Roscoe King. a negro barber at Fourth avenue and Eighteenth street, the detectives went to King. King denied all knowledge of the tires, but search of his place brought them forth. The fact that Johnson sold him the tires at two diff ferent times constituted two different cases. King is held in jail in default of $500 bond. The purchase price paid by King for the two tires was $1s.

Fourth Avenue and goth Street

Los Angeles, Cal, November 7.-The jury box in the McNamara murder trial was filled today with talesmen accepted as to cause and peremptory challenges were exercised by both sides Tonight but five of the twelve men remained and the
 defense had reserved the right to chal- lenge some of these tomorrow if it de- sired.
 Should it not so challenge it can not excuse these men later on.
 The defense lost every appreciable point for which 1t contended today. The five men left in the box tonight were Robert Ban, carpenter, who organized the first labor union in Los Angeles; F. D. Green, magazine articles about the case without prejudice; Byron L. Hood, a retired mill owner, who said he had no opinion as to the cause of the explosion; Samuel Men- denhall, orange grower who was without an opinion, and. Wm. Clark, who said ne took sides neither way.
 The challenges were exercised alternate ly, the state leading off with Frank Frakes, who admitted an acquaintance with Attorney Lecompte Davis for the defense
 Indianapolis, Ind, November 7.--When Judge Anderson, of the U. S. District court. was advised today that the federal grand jury had been denied access to certain books of the international asso- citation of bridge and structural iron workers, he ordered the U. S. marshal to go to a trust company where the books were deposited and take possession of them.
 A federal grand jury investigation as to whether John J. McNamara. James E. McNamara and Ortie E. McManigel had violated a statute governing in- terstate transportation of dynamite and other explosives was set to begin today. but the prograss to be made was prob lematical, the chief failure of the goN- ernment to abtain all of the evidence it sought.
 Account books and letters of the In ternational Association of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers, which Coun- ty Prosecutor Frank P. Baker had been ordered to take to the federal grand jury room are withheld pending ac-

the CreaI family the old cabin In which Lincoln was born was carted to the Da- venport farm, a mile and half nearer
 Hodgenvile The Davenports used it as | a spring house. But the owner gave it | to MT. Dcnnett and it was placed on it's original site in 1895.
 MT. Dennetts religious proelvities led him to turn over the farm to the Rev. | ]. W. Bingham, Methodist evangelist i from Florida, whose purpose 1t was to make the farm place for summer camp meetings He was dssuaded from doing | this, but took the old cabin to pieces
 and. setting it up again. exhibited it all
 over the country to get the money to carry on his evangelstic work. It was finally put away in a storage warehouse in Long Island City, N. Y.
 Project Forgotten
 | During this time no steps were taken | to turn the farm into a park. For a while this project was forgotten, but ] several years later a bill was introduced l into the legislature of Kentucky author l izing the purchase of the property by
 the state, but it failed of passage. Then | the Dennett estate became involved in
 litigation and finally the property was
 put up for sale at public auction and it
 was bought by Robert J. Collier for
 $S60O.
 MT. Collier then formed the Lincoln Farm association and on Lincoln's birth
 day two years ago he deeded the farm \ to it. The association sent attorneys | throughout that portion of Kentucky to
 interview old settlers and take deposit | tions concerning the real birthplace of Lincoln because number of uninformed persons had declared that the Martyr President had first seen the light in east | rl,, deposition established the fact that Lin coin was born on the spot now marked by the Memorial building which is to be dedicated tomorrow.
 Soon after this it was learned that the old cabin was about to be purchased by a Long Island snowman and MT. Col Her immediately bought 1t and turned 1t over to the association. The trustees at once decided to send the logs back to
 Kentucky and restore the cabin on it's
 original site. The Pennsylvania railroad
 gave a special train for the transportation
 and large store in New York decorated
 the cars. Governor Beckham of Ken lucky sent detachment of the state
 troops to escort the old logs back "home."
 Soon after the cabin had been set up
 again the original site the assoca- tion called for a competition of architects
 for plans for the memorial building and approaches The competition was won
 by John Russell Pope of New York.
 The dedication exercises tomorrow are in charge of committee appointed by Governor Wilson. of which Col. Andrew Cowan of Louisville Is chairman. Speeches will be made by President Taft, Chief Justice White, Gen. John c. Black of Washington and others. The invocation will be made by Rabbi H. G. Enslow of Louisville and the benediction will be pronounced by Bishop Thomas S. Byrne Of the Roman Catholic diocese of Nash vile.
