SHORE RESORT RUSH
BREAKS ALL RECORDS
WHILE CITY SWELTERS
Unprecedented Exodus
Catches the Railroads
and Trolley Lines Un
prepared and Swamp
Them.
Phlladelphlans surged out of the swel
tering city In unparalleled numbers to
day for a breath of cool air, Invading
seashore and country resorts and parks
adjacent to the city by tens of thou
sands. The unprecedented rush caught
railroads and trolley lines unprepared,
and swamped them.
Before dawn the exodus started. Per
spiring families lugging suitcases and
lunch boxes filled the trolley cars, and
standing room was at a-premium on early
dollar excursion trains to various points
on the New Jersey coast. Long before
the time scheduled for tho start of the
first train railroad ofllclals foresaw that
extras provided for would be Insufficient.
The result was that thousands who
planned to arrive early and get a seat
on the first trains found schedules shot
to pieces. All along every line leading
fromnhls city to a summer resort the
wires were kept hot clearing the tracks
for special excursion trains Btarted off
ahead of schedule time.
Without the excessive heat (hat Im
pelled thousands to leave the city over

been taxed by excursions arranged weeks
In advance. Fully 750Q persons had bought
tickets over the Reading in excursions
under tho auspices of the Cramp Mutual
Beneficial Association, the John Bromley
& Sons Yearly Beneficial Association, the
Shoeworkers' Beneficial Association and
the Keystone Beneficial Association.
How expectations of transit officials
failed to measure up to the crowd this
morning was shown on the Market street
elevated line. Even in rush hours It Is
nearly always possible for every passen
ger to get a seat at the Sixtieth street
station, on easi oouna iruu. u "
stores In the city close all day Saturday
during August that the number of cars
per train, was cut down today, as usual.
The result was that every train leaving
Sixtieth street was Jammed. Spme were
filled by tho time they reached Sixty
third street.
The size of the exodus also was shown
by the depopulated streets in the centre
of the city. At 8 o'clock Chestnut street
had less than half the usual Saturday
morning throng of pedestrians. Nearly
everybody seemed to be carrying a lunch
box or a auitcase, and in spite of tne
heat everybody so impeded was hurrying
to ferry or railroad station.

MARINES LEAVE LEAGUE ISLAND FOR HAITI
MARINES OFF TO HAITI
TO QUELL REVOLUTION
Continued from l' no One
lsts In check until the reinforcements ar
rive. Latest dispatches from the rear
admiral were to the effect that he hal
tho situation In hand, but that property
to police so large a district ns that cov
ered by the revolutionists He needed more
men.
Excitement ran high at League iBland
from the moment telegraphic orders wero
received for the sailing of the Connecti
cut. Visitors Immediately began to flock
Into the yard from all parts of the city.
Members of tho marine detachments or
dered to Haiti, whose relatives live
nearby, notified them, and this morning
the ynrd was thronged with visitors.
Scenes at the yarcTwere almost exactly
like those enacted a little more than a
year ago, when the detachments wero
ordered to Vera Cruz, Mexico. Loading
the ship was started late yesterday after
noon. It was finished some time after
midnight. By that time the marines
who were to, go away on the Connecticut
had completed overhauling their equip
ment nnd they embarked.
Hundreds of men who sailed today saw
scrvlco at Vera Cruz. They were openly
Jubilant at the chance of more action.
The sole subject of conversation among
the marines left behind Is tho possibility
ot more men being sent to Haiti.
Colonel E. J. Cole, who has seen service
In every American Insular, possession, was
In command of the marines on the Con
necticut. Second In command was Lieu
tenant Colonel Laurence H. Moses, com
mander of the marine, barracks at the
New York Navy Yard. Staff officers from
this city with tho expedition Include Cap
tain Edward W. Banker, regimental
quartermaster; Captain EH T. Fryer, regi
mental adjutant, and Paymaster Clerk
Horace W. Mitchell.
The happiest of the enlisted men were
25 recruits from the New York Navy
Yaid. They were shipped to this city
last night to fill gaps In the regiment.
Most of them had not expected to see any
service perhaps for years.
WOMEN WEEP.
Wives and sweethearts of the sea sol
diers lined up on the river front when
the Connecticut salted at 9:30 o'clock, ex
actly on schedule time. The marines had
plenty of fun with te few sweethearts
too bashful to kiss their young men
good-bye. Nearly all the women and girls
wept when the last line was cast off.
One woman with two' children seemed to
be taking the departure as a matter of
course. Some one asked her If she had
a relative aboard the battleship.
"Yes," she said, "my husband's there.
But he's been sent away so often that
we're used to It."
The Connecticut carried' an oddly-assorted
cargo. In addition to five wagon
loads of 30.30 cartridges for the rifles of
the marines, there was a large quantity
of lumber to built mess halls and offi
cers' quarters. Several harvesting ma
chines also wero taken aboard, so that
crops may bo harvested on the laland If
the revolution continues. The quantity
of supplies put aboard the battleship
Indicates that the marines are prepared
for a long stay.
Six companies of the 2d Regiment
make un the contingent that sailed. The
'companies are Nos. 7, 10, 15, 16, 17 and 20-
All the marines were In heavy march
ing order when they went aboard. Men
of the 1st Regiment, disappointed at not
being sent to Haiti, claimed all the glory
for the great speed made In loading the
supplies aboard the Connecticut.
U. S. PROTECTORATE OVER

PRESIDENT TO SUPPORT U. S.
PROTECTORATE PLAN IN HAITI
Mr. Wilson Gives Much Time to Study
of Situation.
CORNISH, N. H July 31.-Presldent
Wilson spent considerable time today go
ing over official dispatches relative. t
the killing of two United Statei marlms
at Port Au Prince and the chaotic con
ditions prevailing In Haiti. It is expected
that the President will support a policy
that will practically make the Island Re
public a protectorate of the United States.
A customs receivership will probably be
established, similar to that prevailing In
Santo Domingo. It Is recognized thai
the marines nnd sailors now In Haiti
cannot be withdrawn for some time be
cause of the revolutionary conditions pre
vailing there.
TENDEIUOIN IN STYLE
Section Flooded With Silk Shirts Fol
lowing .Theft From Store.
Men, as a rule, pay little attention to
what other men wear. The exception
which proves .the rule In this case Is De
tective Lestrange, who awoke suddenly
to the fact that silk shirts had become
very plentiful In the Tenderloin. Every
man there seemed to have one, and the
shirts made their appearance about the
tlmo SO silk shirts were stolen from the
store of Walter O. Becker, 1018 Chestnut
street, a week ago.
The store was robbed ngnln last
Wednesday, and 300 silk Bhlrts were
tnken. The number seen In the Tender
loin increased accordingly, and It was
learned that they wero being Bold at 1
apiece.
Detectives Lestrange, Doyle and Benz
arrested Harry Walton, 21 years old, 928
Winter street, on a charge of larceny,
nnd Harry Davis, 831 Vino street, on n
charge of receiving Btolen goods.
Steel Company Fights Kum With Food
CHICAGO. July 3t.-Offlclals of the
Illinois Steel Company, In South Chicago,
have started a campaign against drink

hacj a good effect until the saloonkeep
ers hit upon an idea to offset the boy

orate free lunches and advertised the
fact. They posted signs which told of
the' bad effects co)d lunches had on diges
tive organs. One sign read:
"Don't come In to drink. Come In and
eat."
The company came back with the es
tablishment of a restaurant In the plant.
Today the men ate their first meal with
the following menu: Bowl of soup, 2

tomato, 1 cent; pie, 1 cent; coffee, 3 cents;

STATE FUNDS DWINDLING;
BALANCE LOWEST IN YEARS
Million-Dollar Decrease in Last Month
Fulfills Powell's Forecast.
HARRISBURO, July 31.-Tho State
Treasury balnnce for July shows the
State funds to be at the lowest ebb In
many years. When the books were
closed at noon today the sum on hand
was more than a million dollars less
than tho amount reported nt the "end of
June. The total on hand about equals
tho amount In the general fund alone at
tho close of business for July, In 1911.
This Is In accord with the warning of
Auditor General Powell, Issued nearly
two months ago to heads of depart
ments, predicting that on account of the
falluro of tho Legislature to pass proper
revenue misers while making appropria
tions with a lavish hand, and Inability
to get In promptly the new coal tax, the
State Treasury would be hard pressed
to fulfill Its obligations on time.
The State receipts for July wero Jl.525,
059.58. of which J1.415.669.3S was for the
general fund; $9142.02 for the school
fund and J7O.248.C0 for the motor vehicle
fund, with transfers of $132,531.50 from
the motor fund to the general fund and
JS3.C97.01 from the general to the school
fund.
Payments for the month amounted to
J2.709.911.15, of which f2.32l.50S.1Q was from
the general fund and JITE.433 from the
motor fund.
The balanco on hand aggregates Jl.497,
138.01, mado up as follows: General fund,
$3,476,972.02; sinking fund, $822,455.03;
school fund, J102.712.9I, and motor fund,
$97,000. The total balances at the end of
June amounted to J5.772.019.28.
The general fund on hand will be low
ered very shortly by the transfer of
$500,000 to tho game propagation and
bounty funds and the transfer of $163,000
Into the State fire Insurahce fund, and
It will not be long beforo the workmen's
compensation Insurance fund will re
quire large sums.

PROHIBITORY laws, we are told by reformers, are aimed
largely to safeguard those who cannot help themselves.
In other words, the sins of the few should be visited upon the
many, and because one man abuses a hundred men should
not use.
THE utter FALLACY of this line of reasoning can be shown
by presenting FACTS for hardly one thing in the world
but is abused at one time or another somehow, somewhere.
