Tho nation will come to Philadelphia
on July 4 next to celobrnte tho anniver
sary of the birth of American Independ
ence. Plans to hold ceremonies on an
even bigger and broader scale than Inst
year, when nearly every Stato In tho
Union participated, and to make Phila
delphia's observanco of Independence Dav
permanently of a national character are
already under way.
Tho Mrst move to hold annually a na-tlon-w-ltfe
colebratlon of tho greatest of
American civic days In Philadelphia, tho
"birthplace of freedom," will bo mado
during tho present session of the Legis
lature, when a Stnte appropriation of
$30,000 will bo asked by business men nnd
city officials.
This sum will be the nucleus of a fund
which for tho next two years, at least,
will provldo a celebration that will bo
national In character. A Federal appro
priation alA will bo sought, and tho
business men of Philadelphia will con
tribute a largo sliaro of tho funds which
will be used tomako the eyes of tho
nation turn toward Philadelphia on July 4
next.
Morris Conn, Common Councilman from
tho 8th Ward, who was active In arrang
ing the Fourth of July program last
year, and who Is a member of Councils'
Legislative Committee, has prepared tho
rcijueo. 10 mo legislature asmng for
tno atate appropriation. - '
BUSINESS MEN'S PLANS.
Plans aro now being made by the busi
ness men in chargo of the arrangements
lor thfci year's celebration to go to Harrls
burglin a special trnln to make the re
quest. About 200 business men, besides a
majority of tho members of Common and
Select Councils, will make Hie trip.
Before this trip Is taken tho members
of tho Philadelphia delegation to tho
Legislature will be asked Individually to
work In behalf of the appropriation. This
will bo done during tho present recess
of the Legislature, and the formal re
quest will bo mado at Harrlsburg soon
after the Legislature reconvenes on Jan
uary 18.
If tho plans so far discussed for tho
observance of tho nation's blithday anni
versary in Philadelphia this year aro car
ried out, the celebration should far sur
pass that of last year, when President
Wilson was the orator of the day and
when six Governors and a delegation of
Congressmen attended, representing near
ly every Stato In the Union.
TO INVITE WILSON TO SPEAK.
Every effort will be made to havo the
President attend again this year, of
course. In addition, every Governor In
the United States will be invited, and
Congress will again be asked to send an
official representation.
But Instead of a short program In Inde
pendence Square, the United Business
Men's Association and 'the other organ
izations of business men which are In
charge of the arrangements are plan
ning a program that will last all during
tho day and continue Into the evening.
TAX RECEIVER TO ADOPT
DUPLICATE BILLING METHOD
for Receipts.
When tho books of the Receiver of
fTaxea are opened for payments of realty
tand school taxes for tho current year
Monday, January 25, the now duplicate
method of billing, Instituted by Receiver
of Taxes Kei.drick, will be adopted. '
The duplicate bill Is retained by the
cashier of the tax office and the original
Iblli, properly stamped, is retained by the
taxpayer. This method -will ofovlate the
necessity of the taxpayers waiting at the
cashier's window until the payment la
registered, as Qias been necessary under
the single system of billing. The regis
tering may be dono from the duplicate
bill retained by the cashier. The now
method is expected to eliminate the long
waiting in line by taxpayers, especially
in the last days of August and December.

DOUBLE MURDER
, REVEALS STRANGE
CAREER OF WOMAN
'Once Prominent Beauty
Wounded After Father
and Companion '"A r e
Killed. .
WASHINGTON, Jan. 11. Murder, rob
bery and A strangely checkered post
loomed up today In police investigation
of tho murderous nssault on Mrs. Mnttle
Hughes, 43 years old, and the slaying
of her aged father nnd a inato com
panion. Mrs. Hughes, alias Franklo HarrlB, onco
la prominent Southern beauty, lies nt
death's door. Tho murderers, two men,
whoso mottvo was robbery, aro still at
largo. Tho dead men were Isooo Waldrop,
Mrs Hughes' father, nnd Nicholas Cof
flnas, a Greek, companion of Mrs.
Hughes on an early morning rldo yes
terday from this city to her elogantly
furnished but secluded home In tho Vir
ginia suburbs.
Pollco delving today developed the fact
that the Hughes woman wns pet haps a
victim of tho Kcnyon "red light law."
Driven out of tho segregated dl-itrlct,
whore sho owned sevoral pieces of prop
orty sho sought seclusion In dirk's Sta
tion, Viv. There sho maintained herself
on a luxurious scale Which attracted the
robbers.
Investigation thus far shows they wero
in the houHj when she and Codlnas ar
rived. They attacked the party, killing
tho two men nnd seriously wounding1 tho
woman with a bullet In her breast. Tho
house was looted, but the woman's
valuable Jewels upon lior person were un
molested Mrs. Hughes, tho pollco Bay, was tho
woman of rnro beauty who, 15 years ago,
stood trial for her life thrco tltncB at
Greenville, S. C, on a chargo of killing
her wealthy husband, Sho was Anally
acquitted.
Later, they assert, she assumed a mas
culine role nnd traveled extensively. At
one time she was reported killed In a
gam'flllhg den In Denver. Later she
drifted to this city, obtained temporary
employment as a waitress and then
gravitated to tho "red light" section,
whero In a. fow years sho became owner
of soveral valuable properties.
Her companion of tho night ride, tho
police were told, was a business man with
whom sho was negotiating for transfer
of a store.
INCREASE OF ARMY WILL
BE CONSIDERED TONIGHT
Military Men Hopeful of Favorable
Action by Senate Committee.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 11. In vlow of tho
agitation In Congress over tho nation's
piepaiedncss for war, special Interest was
attached to tho meeting of tho Senato
Military Affairs Committee tonight to
consider the bills before It, providing for
national dofenso. Army circles expect
favorable action on measures sanctioned
by Secretary Garrison.
Senator Chamberlain's bill for the
establishment of a strong military reserve
Is among tho leading measures. It pro
vides for an enlistment term of threo
years and thrco years of reservo sorvlco,
with permission for a soldier in good
standing to bo transferred to the reserves
after one year's active training.
Increase of tho army to 110,000 or possi
bly 125,000 enlisted men; an Increaso of
officers to tho extent of 1000 men and addi
tional coast defenses, it is predicted, will
be the eventual outcome of tonight's
meeting. Whether the short session will
permit tho passage' of the reservo force
bill Is doubtful, considering tho pressure
of other Important legislation.

The Salutation
which one meets in different parts of the world is
often picturesque.
The Laplanders have a practice of rubbing their
noses with the noses of the persons they salute.
In Syria the custom is graceful and pleasing the
hand is raised with a quick but gentle motion to the
heart, the lips and to the head, to intimate that the
person saluting is willing to serve you, to think for
you, to speak for you and to act for you.
A fine old English Quaker poet used to say, "By
all, all means try to be sometimes alone to salute
thyself, see what thy soul doth wear, dare to look in
this chest, for 'tis thine door, and tumble up and down
what thou findest there."
The Syrian salutation, centuries old, is very like
that in vogue today in our two Stores where the
manners of everybody show our cheerful willingness
to serve you, think for you and act for you.
