GARNER, Leader of Gang, Killed by
MeIinite in Eight-Hour Siege.
Paris.-The career of the last of
Frances notorious motorcar bandit
gang was dramatically ended when
after eight hours battle with thou
sands of police and troops, its leader,
Octave GARNER, and his confederate,
Wallet, were blown up by explosives
in a small villa at Nogent-sur-Marne
four miles east of Paris, where they
had taken refuge.
Shattered by shots of dynamite,
their house fell in ruins when melinite
was exploded under its walls. Search
lights were used to make the discharge
of melinite effective.
The explosion left a yawning open
ing in the villa, through which police
dogs, with savage barks, sprang. while
the police and troops sent volIey after
volley of shots into the ruins of the
building.
Wallet died in the automobile which
was conveying him TO a Paris hospi-
tai.
One Of the most dramatic moments
of the battle was when, during a lulI
in the firing, the woBan confederate,
Veuillemin, stepped from the building
and surrendered, leaving the men to
their bitter fight for their lives. The
had unwittingly been the
means of giving the police knowledge
of their whereabouts.

Taft's Praise for the cIeveIands.

There was no n at the Inaugural
ton toward whom more eyes turned
with greater interest than Mrs. Cleve-
land. Gowned in black, with a band
of white in her hat, she seemed in per-
feet health, and she had her part to
play in the celebration. At Westland,
she was hostess to Justice White. She
attended the Inauguration, and she sat
in the gallery Of the gymnasium dur
ing the luncheon which followed.
The name of Grover Cleveland was
the first name to stir the assembly to
applause. 1t was mentioned many
times by many speakers. President
Taft paid his tribute to the memory
of Grover Cleveland, and he paid his
tribute to Mrs. Cleveland.
In speaking of his pleasure in being
at Princeton and at being able, since
the comforting of the degree, to call
himself a Princeton man, Chief JUS
tice White said:
ct rests, and it is founded, upon
personal relation with President, who,

with him in public opinion, yielded to

to duty, in the simplicity of American
life, and the enduring and everlasting
purpose to maintain undiminished all

can people. l mean Mr.. Cleveland"

Taft's car at dawn that the day began.
He breakfasted at Prospect, the Presi-
Dental mansion, with President Had
ley of Yale and Mrs. Hadley, Presi-
dent LoweH of Harvard and Mrs. Low
ell, and with other guests of the Hib-
ben household. Chief Justice White
had breakfast at the Cleveland home.
There was color everywhere, the Sc

every variety of academic insignia.

For the first time in history women
were able to express their preference

vote in many sections was due to the
great numbers in which the female
voters turned out at the polls.

Washington received the acknowledge

Princeton herself in the associations
of the past was the Inauguration of
the man who succeeds to the post left
vacant by Woodrow Wilson.
Conservatism the Dominant Note.
About the Inauguration of President
Hibben the forces of conservatism
played-the forces of the conservative
in education and of the conservative
in politics. The day, serene and unin-
terrupted, was the day of the conser-
vative in Princeton, and the conserva-
tive in the affairs of the Nation.
Throughout all the ceremonies and
functions of the day, radicalism did
not show it's head.
Chief Justice White, who with Presi-
dent Taft received the degree of LII.
D., spoke as one greatly stirred. His

has made since his elevation to the
