II had been planned to serve the sex

them with the $4,000, 900 robbery OF the
Lincoln (Nebr) National Bank last
year. Instead, officers hustled the men
into the City Hall just long enough 70

then started for Morrison.

of the State police. Five Of them

men arrested we're thought to have
given aliases. The sixth named O'Con-

Not until today was 1t revealed tnat
50 large a sum had been taken from
the Lincoln bank, since merged. First
figures were small. Later bank officers
said the loot was "a million"
But Emory Smith, representing Ne
braSka authorities and the Illinois
Bankers Association, said the loot
amounted to $4,000, 000-the greatest
sum ever taken in a single robbery.
To him Nebraska authorities gave
much of the credit for unraveling the
tangled skein of clues which led to the
sudden and unexpected raid on the
ganRsters' hideeut in East st. Louis.
Sought for Other Crimes.
Besides the Lincoln robbery the men
also had been sought for other crimes.

with humor; one never too busy to stop
for chat.
Science is a let Of fun" was his
creed. He made it that for those who
came to study under him.
Prof. Nicholson laid the groundwork
for the development of Einstein's theory
Of relatively. He determined the length
of the standard meter for all time by
converting 1t into terms of red ray OF
cadmium. For nearly 10 years he
headed the physics department Of the
University of Chicago. In establishing
the speed OF light at 1S6,284 miles per
second he earned the first Nobel prize
awarded an American scientist.
Ranked With Newton.
Regarded as one OF the greatest
physicists of all time, Prof Nicholson
was ranked by distinguished scientific
societies with Sir Isaac Newton, who
first formulated the laws of gravitation
and with Albert Einstein, who stated
the famous law Of relatively.
The outstanding characteristic of his
work was his insistence upon the most
minute accuracy. When, in 1927, he
renewed his experiments in measuring
the speed OF light, the United States
Coast and Geodetic Survey surveyed a
distance of % miles with an error Of
less than an inch because Prof. Michel
son required that accuracy.
His achievements were made possible
by his fertile invention Of instruments
largely new IN theory. He considered
the tnterferometer his most noteworthy
invention. This device, consisting OF
two mirrors and two glass plates of ex.
actly the same thickness, divides a beam
of light into two rays, travelling at right
angles 10 each other. It made possible
the determination of the important fact
that the velocity of light is always the
same in all directions, the Fundamental
basis of Einstein's theory of relatively
