Entire City Pays Tribute
to
Country's Heroes at Graves
and Monuments
VETERANS SEEN IN PARADES
Philadelphia today honored its he
roic dead of tho country's wnrs with
flags nnd music, with volleying salutes
nnd the ringing words of orators.
In church and private dwelling house
the dead were remembered today ns yes
terday. In the cemeteries veterans of
three wars, the civil strife ot '01, the
war with Spain of two decades ago and
tho recent world conflict, united to pay
tribute to departed comrades.
It was one of the most generally ob
served Memorial Days of the city's his
tory. Few were at work and lew re
mained nt home. All day the streets,
tho cemeteries nnd the public parks were
thronged. Throughout the city were
held many memorial observances.
Tho bright sun and balmy nir of one
of tho few real May days of tho month
lured every one out of doors. Those
who did not co to the craves of theit
dead or to one or other of the many
public celcbratlpns went to fnirmount
l'nrk, which was thronged with family
parties almost from daybreak.
Many Parades During Day
There wcro parades in plenty. All
dax the music of bands was heard in the
streets of the central part of the city,
empty of its usunl traffic. The Civil
War veteran, (.till mnrching sturdily in
spite of advancing years, kept paco with
iiis grnndson who served tho same flag
in France.
Philadelphia remembered the Maine
iu her celebration. The Yank in Uiiie
and tho O. I). Yank nnd the Yank of
'Ninety-eight marched through the
city's streets as buddies.
Their marching orders were their
memories. Their uniforms, which they

1907 Contract
INSISTS BETTER SERVICE
A IS RIGHT OF PUBLIC
6ivic Organizations Quick
Protest Against No Free
Transfer Move
to
The city solicitor will bo instructed to
watch the negotiations of th'o Rapid
Transit Co. for increased fares. Mayor
Moore said today, nnd, to see thnt the
people's interests nro safeguarded. V
In a statement on thn proposal made
by the transit company for higher fares,
the Mayor hinted that the proponed
scheme might run afoul bf tho 1007 con
tract. The Mayor pointed out thnt the com
pany's proposnl seems to be better for
tne company man ror tnc car rincrs.
Tho Mnvnr's atntement followed the
disclosure by Thomas V). Mitten, pres
ident of the P. R. T. Co., of tho plan
which has been worked out by the com
pany, nnd is to be submitted for ap
proval to the Public service upramiB-
sion tomorrow, to uo nwny whuiito
transfers. a
Tho Mnyor said he had read the
"traction program" of Mr. Mitten,
which had been forwarded to him late
Saturday night, but would not com
ment upon it nt length pending a con
ference with the city solicitor, who Is
out of town for the holiday, and prob
nbly will not return until Tuesday
morning.
"There is much in the program." the
Mayor said, "for tho benefit of tho
P. R. T., but not much that gives
promise of the extensions to tho service
which the people nro demanding.
Must Respect Old Contracts
"Mr. Mitten npproaches the Increase
of fnro nronosltion 'delicately nnd
prpbnblv runs up against the terms of
the. 1007 lease. My general attituac on
this subject is that I want to help the
P. R. T. all 1 can to give better service,
but I do not want it done at tho expense
of tho city or In violation of contracts
liltliprto pntprpil into.
"The new Mitten proposnls which nro
reallr directed to tho Public Service
Commission nnd the rcnort of tho com
mittee nppointed by me to consider tno
traction problem, both illustrnte tho dif
ficulties that have been piling up in
previous years to confound tho situation
now that demand tor service is in
creasing. -
"Of courso the cjty solicitor will be
instructed to keep in touch with the
nrocccdlnes before tho Public Service
Commission with n view to protecting
the city's interests. Ho has nlrcady
been instructe'd to cxamino tho very
important and overhanging problem of
the public policy involved in tho mnt
tcr of pnyments to 'underlying com
panies under the nntlquntcd contracts."
"The city solicitor may bo asked to
oppose tho application to be made by
the company to tnc I'uuuc service com
mission." Councilmnn Charles II. Von
Tngcn declared today.
"I hnvcthls matter under considera
tion and mny take it up later In Coun
cil." Sidney Earlo, chairman of the trans
portation committee of tho United
Business Men's Association said his
organization hnd gone on record time
nftcr time ns opposing nn incrense of
any kind in fares on Philadelphia's
transit system.
"I am sure," ho said, "organized
business interests will tnko every
measure possible to keep the present
system of fares."
a Views of Mr. Enrle
Mr. Karlo said an increase of any
kind should not he granted tho P. R. T.
ns long as its status toward the under
lying coinnnnlcs remained unchanged.
"I realize the company needs moro
money," ho baid, "but its treasury
would not bo empty nnd there would
be plenty of funds for improvements
If millions of dollars wcro not paid
to underlying companies annually. No
increase of any kind should be granted
until the cause of this need is re
moved. Tito corporation, of course, hns
to staud by its obligations. Rut there
should be some way in which these
obligations could be taken away. Then,
and not until then, will Philadelphia
have a trnnbit organization that can
come beforo the public, with clean
hands, nnd say it needs money and
will bo forced to raise it by increas
ing tho fares."
Moro definite need for tho valuation
of the P. R. T. system by tho Public
Service Commission, as recommended
-by tho Major's transit committee, is

tlonthnt full recognition of the Mexican
Government be withheld until nn agree
ment to revise the constitution of 1017
in tho form of n treaty is entered into
was made by Senator Fall to the forclzn
delations committee today In his report
oi tnc stiDcommittec which has been in
vestigating conditions in Mexico.- (
Should' the Mexican Government re
fuse to accede to such a condition of
recognition, it was suggested that the
American Uovcrnmcnt renew the notice
thnt it would hold "to a definite reckon?
ing" thoso in Mexico responsible for the
sufferings and losses sustained by
American citizens.
Failure of tho Mexican royernmnf
to restore order and pence in'Mfexieo
nnd effectively to protect American
citizens would bo followed In the plan
suggested ny mo subcommittees by the
dispatch of an armed force into that
country "to open rind maintain open
every nnc or communication netween
the City of Mexico .and every seaport
and every border port of Mexico.'
Would See How Nation Acts
It was recommended thnt Governor
De liti liucrtn, now president ad in
terim of Mexico, should not be recog
nized until it was assured that his selec
tion wns npproved by the Mexican peo
ple nnd until it was shown thnt his ad
ministration was of a stable character
and was disposed to conjply with the
rules ,of international comity and the
obligations of treaties.
"In giving notice that we are
not warring upon the Mexican people,"
the committee's rcnort ndded. "we
should request their nssistauce ; or at
least that they refrain from joining
nny armed nanus in any attacks upon
our troops or torces whose purpose
would simply be tbe restoration of
pence nnd order; protection of our
citizens: protection of Mexican citizens
restoration to American citizens of
their properties: the nffording of
opportunity toy the opening of mines,
fields nnd factories; and last, the
affordine of onnortunitv for tho MpxI-
enn people themselves, In whatsoever
manner they desire, to consututo Moth
can government of serious, comoctcnt.
honest nnd honorable men who will
meet tho civilized world upon n friendly
ground nnd bind themselves to deal
with other people as they themselves
woum do dealt with."
Wants 1857 Constitution
The outstanding feature of the
agreement which tho committee recom
mends should bo the basis for the
proposed treaty between the United
States and Mexico is that the constitu
tion of 1857 be substituted for thnt of
1017. The committee also proposes that
Mexico agree that none of the provi
sions of the new constitution commonly
regarded as confiscatory should in nny
event apply to American citizens, thnt
the restriction ngalnst the work of nny
minister of the Gospel or any religious
body in that country should bft removed,
and that the article providing for the
expulsion of undesirable foreigners,
known under the old constitution as
"Article n."!," bo revised or eliminated.

Politicians nro sncculatinc over

teeman from Connecticut, holds the
Pennsylvania senator's proxy and 'Is
in Chicago.
The national committrc has just
adopted a rule that a proxy must be
held by a man from the delegate's
own state.
This would bar out the Penrose
representative. The senior senator
from Pennsylvnnia probably will-
not nttend in person because of bis
illness.
By tho Associated Press '
Chicago, May 31. By a unanimous
voto the Republican national commit
tee's first nction today was to throw
open, the hearings on contested delega
tions. Chairman Hays made the rec
ommendation, as he previously an
nounced he would, nnd there wns no
opppsition in the committee. It was
decided to take up contests in the alpha
betieul order ot states. .
'Die first contest td come before the
committee, that from tho Fourth "dis
trict of Alabama, was abandoned when,,,'
the committee called it. The contest'',,
nut, W. II. Mixon, of Sclma, Ala.,
J made no nppcarnncc. The regularly cer
tified delegate, .1. li. Atkinson, of Clan
ton. wrs seuted. Mixon wns reported
to favor flic Wood candidacy.
Proxies Within Own States
The hearing of contests was reached
sooner than oxjiectcd. Preliminary
business wis ipuckly disposed of and
the committee ndopted u rule that a na
tional committeemnn'K proxy must bo
held within his own state.
Oliver D. Street. Alabama committee
member, told the committee thnt tho
, Mixon contest was "made out of whole
i cloth" and in the failure of contestant
to press the case the committee uilopt-
cd unanimously u motion dismissing the
1 contest.
For the Arknnsns contest, involving
I the four ilelegatcs-at-Iarge and three
district delegates, nue hour's time was
allotted for arguments.
i Many .of the contesting negro delega
