BALDWIN ASSUMES
RAILROAD CONTROL
Becomes Federal Regional Di
rector of All Lines in
This District
EFFICIENCY HIS SLOGAN
"Effldeney, nnd a continuation of the
policies established by my predecessor,
Sir. Markham."
Thus concisely, l.eroy W. Oaldwln,
who today assumed office as regional di
rector ot railroads here, defined hla alma
and policies.
. Carrying Into execution" the idea of
efficiency, Mr. IJaldwin had not been
one hour in charge nt the Ilroad Street
Station offices of the regional director
before lie began to relieve the freight car
shortage that is such a crying evil In
the rjes of Philadelphia merchants and
shippers.
The new regional director gives the
Impression of a man with plenty of
time. Hut he lets the taller understand
that the time on his hands 'is to bo
Utilized in doing things. He is u rail
road man. experienced by official con
nection with the Central Railroad of
fleorgla. and the Illinois Central, not
to mention connection with a southern
region of 'the I'nited States ruilroad
administration, before he came lo this
city as assistant to Regional Director
Mnrkham.
T.nng contact with hgure. Mhedules
and statistics usually makes railroad
executives resemble the Oradgrlnd
rather than the Tnpley. Put Mr. Bald
win today was new in the position, he
admitted, and his countenance was as
chubby and vosy as the cheeks of the
apple which bears his family name.
"Kffieicncy." he answered, when
asked what his chief policy would be.
Then after a slight pause, good nature
overcame business training.
"I shall aim for efficiency fust of
nil," lie said, "and after that I mean
lo carry out the policies established here
by Mr. Markhnm. I do not see at
present nny reason to make changes in
the way the office has been conducted.
It is too early tn take up the question.
Put above all 1 menn to maintain
effieienc). Thut is about nil I i-an say
novv-j and I think it covers my entire
policy."
With a view to co-ordinating the ef
forts nf the shippers and the rallioads
of Philadelphia in relieving, so far as
pnssih'c. the seriousness of tlie freight
car situation. Mr. Pahhviu announced
the appointment nf a committee of ope
rnllni officials of the three railroads
entering Philadelphia, whose entire time
will be devoted lo this work.
The committee consists of 11. .1.
Cleave, netiug assistant to the general
manager. I'ennsjlvanlo Railroad, who
will be its chairman. The other mem
bers are C. A. Peach, assistant genernl
tiiinerintenilent. I'll: Me 11 11a UIHI 1100(1-
inK Hallway, and O. II
II. I'ximniujs,
commercial agent, Italtlmorc and Ohio
Uuilrnad.
In accoidancc with Mr. Puldvviu's
polic.v, the members of this committee
will work in close touch with the ship
pipg interests of tlie city.
The kejnote of the work of the com
mittee will be to increase the suppl)
of cars by using them to their enpneity
and reducing to a minimum the time
they are Idle.

"Irish President"
( (inllnurd from Taxe One
t-cnted the counties of Ireland und vveie
tlie gift of tlie A. O. II. The Iribh
lender's e)es lit up and he smiled hap
pily as he took the flowers from the
child. Then the bell was presented.
Would Lay Flowers on Monument
"Is there a monument to the soldiers
who fell In tho war?" De Valera asked.
"I should like to lay these flowers on
It." it was decided to place them on
the pedestal of the Washington statue,
in the name of the martyrs of the great
war.
' For a moment De Valera stepped into
the historic chambers on either side of
the hall where tho liberty Dell stands.
On the way out of the building De
Valera was loudly cheered.
Mr. Kynn explained that two Irish
men had signed the Declaration of In
dependence. A musing cheer greeted the wnrds.
"What were their names tell their
names," the crowd shouted.
"James Smith and Oeorge Taylor,"
said Mr. Kyan. "These do not sound
like Irish uanies but jpu know thut
Kugland required the Irish redemp
tioners Ot take names in this country
for their callings."
There wus n bit of "hno-ing" at
this, but some one shouted "order," npd
tho crowd turned to cheering again for
the "unnamed Irish dead."
Choked by Emotions
De Velern ngnin spoke briefly when
the crowd demanded a speech.
"I, can Frnrcely speak for iny emo
tions," he said, "on coming to this
holy spot. The Irish at home know
what the monuments of their dead mean
to them. Your dead wern successful ;
ours were not. Rut the same spirit is
alive In Ireland that animated the nien
who died In the War of the Hevolution
to free the country from the foreign
yoke. It is Ireland's determination to
niake the Irish' dead a success, They
shall not hare died in vaiu."
On the way' to the vr'altlng automo.
bilrs the party was hemmed In on all
sides b)' men and women eager to shake
De Valera'P hand and wish him God
speed. Ho great was the presi that the
big tra.Tic policemen had to make a way
for him fo get to the rurb.
After leaving Independence Hall the
pTirty went to Frqnklln'a gruve, where
the president jilared n wreath. It w.'as

spoke a few words.
Krom Tranklin'g grnre'to the IVelle-
vtie-Rlrnford the streets were lined
with hundreds ot persons waning to
greet De Valera.
The Her, Dr. Joseph Kraueknpf,
rabbi of Ienrsetb Israel, .met De Valera
at the station, and was In one of the
automobiles forming the procession. The
rabbi made It plain that he was In at
tendance not s the ' representative bf
any organization or congregation, but as
,a citizen taking part In a public func
tion. Mr. Do Valera arrived nt North Phis
adelphla nt 11:40 o'clock. He was Im
mediately surrounded by the more than
U00 Irish ftytnpathlxcrs who had crowd
ed the platform.
Former Congressman Michael Dono
hoe, chairman of the reception rom
mlttce, had difficulty In forclmr his wav
toward the president, as had nlso Ml-l
chael j llyun, one of the Irish leaders
of Philadelphia.
De Valera's 01 asses Ilrohen
Hands were forced at De Valerni
from ail angles. So widely enthusiastic
did the crowd become that De Valern's
glafses were broken and two patrolmen
nnd John O'Loughlio, n discharged
sailor, placed themselves us n pro
tecting cordon about the leader and es
corted him toward the stairway lo the
street.
Put tlie crush was so great that they
were forced to desist. De Valera
vvnllttd to the extreme north end of
the platform, where, standing on the
edge, he waved his greetings to more
than 700 children from the Ascension
Parochial School, who were gathered
on the street below.
Then he posed for bin picture, hold
ing aloft three-year-old Anna Scan
Ian, one of the many tots from the
Ascension parish who were on the plat
form. The children wore green dresses,
orange capes and white turbans, the
three colors of the flag of the Irish
Republic.
The machine was lavishly trimmed
with American und Irish flags.
A great crowd was waiting under
the shelter of the railroad bridge that
carries the Pennsylvania Railroad
tracks over Rroad street nnd a rush
was made upon the appearance of the,
president. Irish songs were sung and
Irish nnd American Hags were waved.
'
300 Cars Carry Committee
More than two hundred automobiles
were necessary to carry the welcoming
committee. Strung tour or five abreast,
they stretched across Itroad street for,
more than a block. At lens!de ave
nue, just opposite the station, the pa
rade was held up when two of the
parading machines collided.
Then the procession moved ahead
more quickly. On Itroad street south
of Lehigh avenue, however, it was again
held up when an aged woman ran from
the shelter of the walls of the ball park isixty-two; Ur. l'.dvvard Martin, sixty,
