Reid was mysteriously wounded on
May Is, returned yesterday from a
business journey loosely prepared to

At the time Of the Reid shooting Mr..
Boylan was in Pittsburgh attending to
business in a sampleroom of the Penn
Hotel, and although questioned there
by reporters as to his whereabouts or
the previous day, did not regard the
questioning seriously, He did later.

yesterday that the error had reasy de-

with the near tragedy.
The Tribune, which in common with
other, newspapers published the name

lished that Boylan was attending
church in Pittsburgh on the day Of the
shooting and could not by any con

Boylan pointed out yesterday, that

friends in Harrisburg, Chester, Phila-

Boylan involved. The good-natured St.

on the gay life he was leading from

1t is, therefore, no more than Just
that Mr.. Boylan's friends of the Square
Club and the St. Adams Pioneers
should be set right on facts in the
case, which are that the Boylan in

MILAN, May 6 (By MaiD, - Italy
remembers and honors the heroes Of
the Great War. The Gorizia district.
where the Carso hills begin, was for
three years the spot where She fiercest
and more or less continuous fighting
occurred. Nearly 5000 Italians and
as many Austrians fell between Capo-
retto, Gorilla and Monfalcone. At the
summit of Redipuglia Hill, near Co
r2la, great memorial tower is being
erected which will receive powerful
searchlight that will be visible for hun
dreds of miles round.
The hill is being converted into an
immense cemetery. where by degrees
most OF the soldiers buried in sur
rounding places are beng removed.
4 body OF 5000 soldiers, directed by
40 officers and 25 military chaplains,
nave been busy for two years over this
work OF mercy and Identification.
More than 900 small Gem eteries dis
trlbuted in the surrounding mountains
and valleys have been visited and re-
arranged and many OF tNem emptied.

ceed under serious difficulties when
documents and special indicative labels
are missing. Small various objects
collected often materially help in
identifications, but this requires ex-
tenaive correspondence with relatives
who are spread all over italy. The cor
respondence already covers half a mil
lion letters. The luminous tower on
Redipuglia hin is intended to remain
constantly lit at night time like q
funeral lamp, and is meant to shine for
miles round on all the surrounding
graveyards, thus remembering all the
exploits Of endurance and courage cele-
brated in the third Italian Army Corps

whole district through four years of
the hardest fighting that probably the

started on the Elbe since the armistice,
with berths for twenty ships, ali fully

the observer, "are undergoing repairs

they are highly satisfied"
The splendid organization of the
Yards was most impressive. There was
