SONS OF OLD NASSAU
MARCH IN THE ANNUAL
"PEERADE" OF ALUMNI
2000 "Old Grade" Appear
in Diversified Costumes.
Only Surviving Member
of Class of 1850 Leads
Procession.
Bv a Staff Carrttponitnt
PntNCETON, N. J June 12.-The great
Alumni "peerade," the big feature thlrf
afternoon of tho reunion festlvltlfs for
the graduates of Princeton, was the best
In years. With many hundred "old boys"
In diversified costume In line, the pro
cession tet a now record In every respect.
Floats carried the emblems and Insignia
of the Individual classes. The brilliant
uniforms and the 20 or more bands also
wre features.
Tho two thousand or more grads who
have returned to their nlma mater for n
day nt least, after a morning spent In
greeting old friends and renewing ac
quaintanceships, assembled at one end
of the field nnd then paraded around It
to the seats roncred for them for the
Ynle-rrlnccton game.
The first man In line, In tho place of
honor at tho head of the parade, was
the single surviving member of the class
of 1860. That means 65 years out of
colleitc. nnd the crowd shouted nnd
shouted Its greeting as the aged man,
supported by two younger graduates,
stepped out bravely nnd, though tottering
In step, dlsplnycd tho same spirit as the
youngest member of tho class of 1914.
CLASSES FOLLOW IN LINE
Following the old grads came those
classes which do not have regularly
scheduled reunions. Then came I860, '60,
'70, '76, and so on.
Tlv older cIbbscs clung to conventional
gnrb. but beginning with 1505 the units
appeared In varied costumes, culminating
In the convict gnrb of 1913.
Nineteen fourteen were sailors.
A real live battery borrowed from the
National Guard was a feature of their
section. Nineteen twelvo wero nrtlsta in
blue smocks, '10 were Greeks, '0t wore
green blazers, nnd so on. Many banners
bore Inscriptions thrusting fun at Bryan.
"What do we think of Bryan?" Bald
one.
"Wilson, that's nil," said another.
And another, "Bryan's out and we are
here. Cheer up."
After the parade tho entire crowd In
the stands stood nnd sang "My Country,
'TIs of Thee," while Boy Scouts, who
were taking a collection for tho Itcd
Cross, stood attention In front of the
mnln stand. Finally, after singing "Old
Nassau" with some 10,000 men waving
their hats, tho crowd settled down for
the game.
The class of I860 celcbratoa Its Kth
reunion. Seventeen persons out of Zi liv
ing wero all tho present members,
nighty-flvo wero graduated In 18C0. This
Is the high per cent, of 70.8 In attendance,
and It Is believed that this class will
carry oft tho 1901 reunion cup, given to
the class having In attendance the largest
percentage of Its living membership.
All the class havo been married, several
twice, and there are about GO children.
One '60 man and his wife will celebrate
their fiftieth wedding anniversary at this
time.
The class ot 1SG5 was In Frlnceton for Its
COth celobratton. This class, In college
during Civil War times, has 18 of Its 90
members living. Eighteen of the 23 were
In line, most of tho rest being In bad
health or living at a distance. Among
the prominent members Is W. H. Fleming,
author nnd lecturer on Shakespeare, of
Philadelphia.
Mrs. Andrian Jollne, of New York,
widow of a former member of the clnss
of 1S70, Is an honorary member of that
class and will tender them a dinner Mon
day evening nt Princeton Inn.
Class of '99 was attired In straw hats,
white trousers and dark coats and white
umbrellas. There were a large number
of sons of tho class In line. Moving pic
ture operntors followed tho clas3 about
through the entire day nnd films of the
program will be shown at their headquar
ters Monday. Tho class announced that
tho "long distance" cup will go to tho
Rev. Henry A. McNulty, of Soo Chow,
China, who arrived this week for the re
union. Dickson Queen Brown, of New
York, donor of the cup, gave ten gold and
40 silver watch fobs for the fifty men
from the most distant points who re
turned to reunion.
There Is some Interesting personal data
regarding members of '95 who aro now
In the war zone; John P. Poe, now with
the British nrmy near Ypres, sent word
he Is "unavoidably detained" from attend.
Ing the reunion. He Is with the heavy
nrtlllery and his battery went through
tho battlo of Neuve Chapelle unscathed
John W. Garrett, former United Stales
Minister to Argentine, now on Bpeclal
duty In Paris In charge of German and
Austrian civilians Interned in France, was
also prevented from attendance, having
tO.OOQ refugees on his hands.
Harold K. McCormlck, of 1895, vice pres
ident of tho International Harvester Com
pany, Is now In Switzerland. Thomas
Slldell Is also held up nbroad. Mr. Sll
dell was in the Cathedral at Ilhelms when
first bombarded, later went down on the
Lusltanla, floated around four hours and
was finally rescued.

Student, Missing After Wreck
on Road to Kingston.
PK1NCETON, N. J., June 12 -The body
of Ilobert Forbes Spelr, JO years old, n
Princeton sophomore and son of Francis
Stelr, ot South Orange, N. J., was found
crushed to death beneath a racing model
runabout at tho Carnegie Lake spillway
on the road to Kingston early today.
Another man, also believed to be a
student of Princeton, Is missing.
The police aro dragging the lake near
the spillway and have started a search
of the country. Two theories as to what
happened to Stelr's companion have been
advanced. One Is that he was pitched
Into the lake when the fast little car
overturned, and the other that he wns
Injured and Is wandering about the coun
try In a daied condition.
Coroner Groves, of Trenton, Is Investi
gating tho case In the meantime every
effort Is being made by the Princeton au
thorities to keep the details of the acci
dent secret. Apparently, the car had
been going nt high speed. There l a
turn In the road to Kingston nt tho
spillway and nt tho side of the road a
small obstruction. Tho front wheel of
tho enr hit this, turning upside down.

An 11-year-old boy was downed and tho
body of an unidentified man was found
shortly nftcr noon todny In tho back
channel of the Delaware at the Philadel
phia Navy Yard, near where the battle
ship Kcarsargo Is anchored. Tho boy,

August Rosanlo, 13 years old, of 1727
Hicks Btreet, his playmate, called to the
sailors on the Kcarsarge and the Ken
tucky that a boy was drowning. Nearly
a dozen sailors from each ship dived for
tho boy, but his body was not recovered
for nearly half an hour. Doctor Allen
of tho Navy and Lieutenant Commander
Hunt worked over him with a pulmotor
for more than an hour In an effort to re
vlvo him.
Tho body of tho man apparently had
been In tho water for nearly a month.
He wore a mariner's suit with the namo
Thomas Glgnon on It. Glgtion, however,
was found later at the barracks Ho said
that he had had a suit stolen some weeks
ago.

Facts Versus

FACT is a real state of things. FALLACY is an appar
ently genuine but really illogical statement or argument.

"TF," said the argumentative man, "it is true what has
been so often said in the FACTS versus FALLA
CIES articles that Prohibition does not prohibit, then
why do the liquor interests oppose Prohibition?"
A ND here is the answer: Repeatedly in previous arti
" cles it has been stated: "That Prohibition prohibits
is a FALLACY; but that it prevents the legalized and
regulated sale of liquor is a FACT."
WHEN Prohibition laws are passed those persons

i
D UT, it has been proven again and again that Probibi
tion does not prohibit. Somehow, someway, liquor
continues to be sold in tremendous quantities in Pro
hibition localities. How is this possible?
j VU ERELY by unlawful and unregulated methods. The

- pay revenue. They withhold from State and Nation
taxes which rightfully should go toward running btate
and National machineryyet the sale of liquor continues,
though in an illegal manner.
SO that is what is meant by this oft-recurring phrase:
"That Prohibition-prohibits is a FALLACY; but
that it prevents the legalized and regulated sale of liquor
is a FACT."
