LINCOLN HOMESTEAD
ACCEPTED BY WILSON
FOR THE GOVERNMENT
"HoW Eloquent This Little
House Within This Shrine Is
of the Vigor of Democracy"
President ExcIaimS


HODGENVILLE, KY, Sept. 4.-Presi-
dent Wilson arrived here at 10:40 o'clock
The president was welcomed by a cheer
ing throng of more than $4,000. AS he
stepped from his private car several
bands began playing and the applause
was deafening. The president stood in
his automobile and bowed again and
again.
At the Hodgenville station an auto
mobile parade was formed and proceed
ed to a statue of Lincoln in the town
square, where the president laid a
wreath of flowers. The streets were
lined solidly with cheering throEgs.
From the statue the parade proceeded
to the Lincoln cabin, two miles from
Hodgenville. There temporary stands
had been located at the foot of broad
granite stairs, leading up to the Lin
coin memorial, topping hill.
Standing before the log cabin in which
Abraham Lincoln was born, now housed
in a magnificent memorial structure.
President Wilson today, in behalf of the
United States, accepted the Lincoln
homestead. acquired by popular sub
scription through the Lincoln Farm as
ISOLATION. The president made his trip to
Hodgensville wholly one of tribute to
the memory of Lincoln, declining all in
vitations to make speeches in the polit-
zeal campaign.
How eloquent this little house within
this shrine is of the vigor of democra-
cy," exclaimed the president as he spoke
of Lincoln as exemplifying the Ameri-
can spirit as showing the heights which
men of lowly birth may attain.
I'VE are not worthy to stand here -
said he. unless we ourselves be in deed
and in truth real democrats and servants
of mankind, ready to give our very lives
for the freedom and justice and spiritual
exaltation of the great nation which
shelters and nurtureS us"

Man Held at Corinth
Was Not Robert Fay

The belief of Warden Fred Zerbst
that the man being held in Corinth,
Miss, was not Robert Fay, the German
bomb plotter who escaped from the fed
eral prison last Tuesday, was confirmed
Monday morning when a photograph of
the suspect was received at the peni-
tertiary.
The photograph disclosed the fact
that the man who was arrested at Cor
NTH is an entirely different person from
Fay, and that his measurements differ
from those of the escaped bomb plotter
Efforts to recapture the missing Fay
Will be vigorously continued, declared
Warden Zerbst.

in Atlanta with five suit cases filled with
whisky in half-pint bottles made their
escape from Atlanta police officers Mon
day morning by jumping from the win
dows of a w. & A. train after 1t had
reached the union depot here.
The suit cases were seized by Special
officer Watts, of the w. & A. railroad.
Soon after the train left Chattanooga,
officer Watts got tip that the men had
loaded their suit cases with whisky in
Chattanooga and had bought railroad
tickets for Atlanta. officer Watts tele-
graphed the Atlanta police department
asking that they have several police Of
ficers at the station when the train

The owners of the suit cases in some
manner learned they had been suspected
and when the train arrived they jumped
from the windows and made their es-
cape through the railroad yards.

Brotherhood Leaders Send
Out Message to Men Satur-
day Night Revolving Order
to Strike Monday
IBy Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, Sept. Am order re-
voking the call for a countrywide rail-
road strike Monday was sent out by
union officials tonight after congress had
passed the Adamson eight-hour bill and
sent il to the president for his signature.
The threat of a general railroad strike
which has been hanging like pail over
the country for nearly a month was
lifted tonight.
Three hours after the senate had
passed without amendment the Adam
son eight-hour day bill, passed by the
house yesterday, the heads of the four
great railroad employees brotherhoods
telegraphed 500 odd code messages to
their general chairmen in all parts OF
the country cancelling the strike or
der issued a week ago to take effect
next Monday morning at o'clock.
President Wilson will sign the meas
ure at 1880 o'clock Sunday morning.
Senators Hardwick of Georgia and
Clark of Arkansas, were the only DEM
ocrats to vote against the bill and Sena-
tor LaFollette the only Republican to
vote for IL.
PASSED IN SENATE.
The legislative expedient to avert the
strike was passed in the senate by a
vote OF 80 to 2s-almost a strict party
vote-amid stirring scenes, after many
had fought desperately to amend the
measure by provisions designed to pre-
vent industrial disasters in the future.
Some senator's, thoroughly aroused, de-
clRred congress was being coerced into
enactment of legislation that II did not
desire, and that II knew would return
TO plague IL IN the future.
In both houses the measure was
signed within few minutes after the
final vote IN the senate and IL was
sent at once to the White House
at 1880 o'clock tomorrow morning after
his return from Shadow Lawn. Off,
Gals OF the brotherhoods who wit
messed the final passage OF the bill
had announced early in the night
that cancellation OF the strike would
not be ordered until the bill had been
signed by the president and actually
had become law. But later they con-
ferred. changed their minds and
flashed the code message signalling
60 the waiting trainmen of the country
through their chairmen the message
that a satisfactory settlement had
been secured.
The bill that stopped the strike pro-
vides that after January !, 1917, eight
hours shall be regarded as a basis
Of reckoning for a days pay for men
engaged I'm the operation Of railroad
trains in interstate commerce Except
inE roads less than 100 miles long

to nine months of the effect of the
eight-hour day upon the railroads by
