CHICAGO, Aug. 9. A trumpet blared, a
thousand orders were shouted as one; out
from acres of waving, glistening white
plumes a steady, broad ribbon of gleaming
white poured itself out into Michigan
boulevard with banners bearing heraldic
devices and with cross-hllted swords at
shoulder, and there began In Chicago today
the greatest parade of Knights Templar
witnessed in the history of the order. Every
Knight attending the thirty-first triennial
conclave who could get Into line was there,
a part of the seemingly endless stream ot
wblte-bonnetted, sombrely-attired knights,
nor did the stream stop at a given point
for .three hours,

The flight Ikin. Henry James, earl of
Euston, cousin ot King George of England
and. moat eminent supreme pro grand
master of the great priory of England and
Wales, awaited beside the line, attired in
Ms full regalia as head of British Tem
4L plary, to review the followers of the red
cross. Farther on Mayor Fred Busse was
saluted and still farther Governor Charles
U Denuen acknowledged the tribute of
flashing steel.
This was the big day of the conclave.
Later will come drilling for prises. In which
the flower of the knighthood will "joust"
in pantonilne, but this day was that on
which 500,000 persons stood beside the wind
ing streets in awe and wonderment while
the thousands of knights were on parade.
Sixteen grand divisions swept down the
line .of march, then broke to reconvene In
the afternoon in Muslo halt, where the con
clave was to be opened,, where addresses of
Welcome were to be delivered by Right
.Eminent Sir Cleveland, grand commander
of Knights Templar of Illinois, by Mayor
r Buss and Governor Deneen.
Tonight the earl of Euston received In

OMAHA LEADS IN MAIL CARS
Inspector Tells How This City Has
Outstripped Others.
ONLY TEN CITIES SO FAVORED
Inspector "Jack" Must in Visile City
and Kxplalna How It Is Better
Kqoipped for Mnll Dispatch
ing Than l.arajer t itles.
Postoffice Inspector "Jack" Mastln, at
in i Hen t In Omaha, is enthusiastic over the
remarkable success that is attending the
Inauguration of the street railway mall
cars In Omaha. And this city, by the way,
Is one of but ten or twelve In the whole
country that Is enjoying the benefit of
these cars,
"We are securing a vastly improved
service at practically the same cost as
under the old and much slower system of
gathering and forwarding the malls In
Omaha," said Inspector Mastln. "In Kan
sas City, fur Instance, there are but two
cars, and they run only to the union depot.
While litre we have five cars, covering
every part of Omaha, South Omaha, Ben
son and Florence. These cars make forty
trips a day through the territory, and
thirty of these trips are made so fast and
with such regularity that we gain an hour
at least in getting mall to the postoffioe
and out on the trains. By the system of
relay mail boxes in the wholesale and re
tali business district, we bring the mall
In to the main office much oftener and
much more rapidly than was the case with
the wagons.
Quick Mall Service.
"VVe have here In Omaha eighteen sub
stations and five carrier stations, from
which men go out. The mall cars reach
twenty-one of these stations, and by their
quick service every person mailing matter
of any kind gains many hours in its dis
patch. Take the outlying mall boxes, where
letters mailed late In the afternoon would
remain until next morning, probably. Now,
through the mall car service, such letters
are at their destination m distant cities
about the time they used to get to the cen-
u at omce Here, South Omaha, too, gets
a great benefit, especially on business mall,
and now every piece of such mail Is brought
in so fast and frequently that It catches
the very first available train. This Is de
cidedly important in the case of registered
mall and urgent buslenss communications.
"On each car la a mail clerk, under whose
direction the runs are made, stopping wher
ever he directs for the taking up of mail.
Then, while the car la proceeding on Its
way, the clerk la making up the mail in a
proper manner to enable its immediate dis
patch on arrival at the postoffice. Every
night a cleanup is made of all mall de
posited and by midnight it is on the trains
.,u gum lorwaru to Its destination. In
fact, the possibilities of the new system
are hardly realised by anyone not having
occasion to make a personal investigation."
, New Service Hot Costly.
"The cost per yeur to nth., th. ,ni i-
Omaha under the old plan was approxi
mately $31,000. it is not any more, if as
much, under the new dan.

Senator Gore. I .'
"By offering trfis evidence, I do not wish

"Do you mean that as an exoneration

of these men were taken in vain at one
time. .They may have been at another,"
replied Mr. Gore.

mvnr of New York City, was shot In the
head and seriously wounded today as he
stood on the promenade deck of the steam
hin Kalsed Wllheld Der Grosse by James
J. Gallagher,- a discharged and disgruntled
city employe. Gallagher was overpowered
and arrested.
The shot was fired at 9:45 o'clock this
morning, fifteen minutes before the Kaiser
Wllhelm Dcr Grosse was due to leave Its
pier at Hoboken, N. J., and the mayor was
receiving godspeed from a group of friends
preparatory to a vacation trip to Europe.
The bullet struck him behind the right ear
and ranged downward, inflicting a danger
ous, though not necessarily fatal, wound.
And unless blood poisoning develops sur
geons are hopeful of the mayor's recovery,
although at his age-59 years such a wound
is essentially grave.
Tonight the mayor is at 6t Mary'a hos
pital In Hoboken, Burrounded by specialists,
with members of his family gathered near.
All early reports from the hospital were
hopeful In tone and this evening six X-ray
negatives tit the wound were taken to
facilitate an operation for the removal of
the bullet. Gallagher, the would-be assas
sin, is locked in a cell at Jersey City, held
without bail.. He expresses no remorse.
The big liner was gay with flags and
ringing wMh shouted good-byes when the
tragedy occurred. Most of those who bad
been aboard the ship to say farewell to
friends or relatives had gone ashore, but
a little group remained ot 'talk wtlh the
mayor.

Setting ot Crime Dramatic.
The shooting was done uy a man who
later gave his name as Jules James Gal
lagher, living at 441 Third avenue, New
York. He was later Identified as a city
employe who recently had been discharged.
Three shots were fired at the mayor. Two
of them missed and the third lodged in the
fleshy portion of the left side ot the neck.
Blood gushed from the wound, and the flrsi
hasty examinations led to the belief of
serious and perhaps fatal, consequencesv
.. .' Mayor Retains bnaclouBrtwa""'
The mayor retained consciousness, and
later examination by the physicians at the
hospital gave a more hopeful outlook.
The shooting occurred under circum
stances of the most dramatic character.
Mayor Gayuor came aboard the steamei
accompanied by a number ot prominent
city officials, about to bid him adieu on
his trip abroad.
The party proceeded to the upper deck
and were assembled in a group giving final
greetings.' Crowds ot passengers were
about on deck and friends were waving
adieu from the pier. The mayor's party
had Just formed a group preparatory to
having their picture taken.
Suddenly a man pushed through the
throng from the rear. He approached the
mayor and without a word began to fire.
Instantly there . was the greatest excitement.-
Biood Gushes from Wound.
Mayor Gaynor- was seen to fall and the
gushing wound told that he had been hit.
At the same moment a ship'a guard sprang
forward and dealt tbe assassin a blow on
the head with a billy, felling him to the
deck, .where officers quickly seised him.
He was turned over to the Hoboken police
headquarters. There he gave the name of
Gallagher, and in response' 10 inquiries
as to why he had committed tho deed, he
replied sullenly: "He kept me from earn'
Ing my bread and butter."
Meantime Mayor Gaynor had been car
ried to a stateroom. He remained con
scious, but breathed heavily. He was
calm, but apparently apprehensive that th
wound grave.
An ambulance was summoned to the pier
and the wounded mayor was placed on a
stretcher and carried to it The vehicle
was driven to St. Mary's hospital, lio
bo ken, whert the mayor was immediately
taken to the operating room. He was silll
conscious and occasionally spoke to those
about him. To the city officials who ac
companied him to the hospital e Indi
cated the gravity with which he vltvwl
the shot by these words:
"Say good-bye to the people."
Bullet Lodges In Mastoid Son.
The hospital physicians made a careful
examination of the wound. Their conclu
sion agreed with that of the ship's surgeon
that the injury was not necesuarily fatal.
It was found that the bullet hud entered,
the mayor'a neck back of the tar, burying
Itself In the region of the mastoid bone.
The bullet was not located and no effort
was made to probe. It was decided to
await the arrival ot a surgeon from Now

Meantime the mayor remained calm. II, a
