Every Feature Recorded: Official photographers recorded every aspect of the Welcome Home celebration yesterday for Hoosier posterity, form the arrival of the artillery trains in the morning to their departure in the afternoon. The Coburn Photo and Film Company had six camera men at work taking motion pictures of the parade from start to finish, and more than 12,000 feet of film were taken. W. A. Swift, with a studio in the When Building, took large numbers of panoramic views, some of which are reproduced in The Star today. The Coburn filsm will be preserved under the ??tion of the Indiana Historical Commission for future exhibitions.
