A mighty torrent of tribute swept
through Philadelphia today, America's
most holomn holiday, for the eihbnt
tled sons of tho nation, who made the
great sacrifice.
Fnltcring veterans of the Civil 'War,
younger men who wore the khaki of
the Spanish-Amcrien'n conlilct, and men
of sparkling youth, who fought in
Frarcc and FInnders. inarched In honor
of their fallen comrades.
In tens of thousands of homos in
this city tho spirit of love bowed low
before the spirit of service, and where
the homes sheltered gold-stnrrcd war
motlicrH, hearts racked with sorrow were
also thrilled with pride.
Veterans Assemble After Daybreak
Soon after daybreak tho veterans
began nssimbling for the march to ceme
teries nnd the graves of those who wore
the gnrb of the nrmy or the navy.
Drum -beat nnd bugle call nnd the
crash of rllles broke the silence In 100
spots in nnd about the city, military
tributes to those who died on tho open
battlefield , in trendies or on the decks
nnd fighting tops of worships,
The Memorial Day services here to'
day wero nil the moro solemn becnuse
of tho presence of the bodies of thirty
American soldiers lifted from their rest
ing places in Franco fur sepulchre In
their home soil.
Tho bodies reached here Snturday
morning in their flag-draped pine cof
fins, nud were met by members of the
National American War Mothers and
hundreds of tlyj general public.
Divldo Grnvo Decorating
The privilege of decorating the grass
covered mounds of the soldier dead was
divided thls-year among posts of the
Grand .Army of the Republic, the-Veterans
of Foreign Wnrs, the Spanish
War Veterans, the Nnvnl Veterans'
Assoeiation nnd the American Legion.
The entire progrnm virtually was ar
ranged by tho G. A. R. men, n grace
ful concession by the younger men-nt-nrms
who were unborn when their elders
were fighting nt Gettysburg, Antictam,
Chiincollorsvllle or at n score of other
battles of the .Civil War.
While the day was consecrated to tho
dead, it had its lighter side as well, as
shown lntcfr In tho day by picnics, field
sports, pilgrimages to places of historic
Interest, visits to pleasure resorts und
automobile tours.
Nearly everything on wheels, and
that Included even the baby carriages
nnd the kiddie kars, carried flags today,
and the nntlonal colors were displayed
on nil public buildings and on the great
majority of private dwellings.

places for his body.
The dead girl's fiance. Walter J. To
bin, thirty years old, of Jersey Cify, a
freight conductor on the Pennsylvania
rallroud, rnme to this city in response
to a wire telling- of tho girl's denth. He
intends to remnin hero until her slayer
is found
Tobln did not know New hall, nnd
had no Idea of the threats which hung
over the girl's life. He sow Josephine
early Friday evening, nnd was taking
n trnln to return to his home nt just
about tho hour his sweetheart was
meeting her death only a few blocks
away. "
Thinks She Was Married
VI had no idea that such terrible
threats were hanging over .Tosie,'.' n
said. "'I cannot understand why she
did not make a confidant of mc. If
she had done so I would have nut a
stop to the whole business. I would
have taken that fellow's gun away from
him. As I think it over, I havo a
strong feeling that she was married to
him all the time. T have nothing to
base It on, but a hunch, but itVls so
strong that I know I am right.
"I came over unexpectedly to call
on .Toslo Friday night. Wc have
known each other over n year. We
met through her brother Cornelius,
who is nlso employed b.v the P. R. It.
Although no definite, dntc had been set
for tho ceremony it wns decided thnt
wc were to he married some time in
August. I had an agreement both
with her ond her family.
"When I cot tn her linmp nnrh- Tl
day evening I noticed tliot she appeared
distraught and not herself. Flnnllv.
she told me thnt she hnd to go out
ami meet Alice. I Uon't know who
Alice Is.
"I told her that if she was going out
with some young fellow a a dance, or
something like that to go nhead nnd I
would come back somo other night. She
stuck to her story, however, and left
me. Oh, if she had only told me what
sho was going to do nnd tho nwful
threat that was hanging over her.
Here to Get Newhall
"I nm hero to get that man Nqwhal!.
I am not mnklnir anv threats of what I
will do, but just let nm get my huuds
on mm, that's all."
Jack Stuart, a boarder at the Howard
home, tnanaccd to convince the Do.
tcctive Bureau of the soundness of his
theory that Newhall Is a suicide and
that his body will be found in the Penn
sylvania Railroad power house at Sev
enteenth and Filbert street. Stuart
studied tho power house himself, not
convinced by the story of witnesses who
clnlmed to have sdbn Newhall leave the
building.
Ho found that there was an exit Into
a sewer under one of the boilers and he
believes Newhall fled down there and
killed himself. Ho had personally tieurd
Newhall threaten to kill tho girl nnd
himself several times.
Detectives Belshaw, Mulgrcw and
Shcllcr, accompanied by Tobln and
Stuart, went to the power house carlj
this nftcrnoon and, donning overalls,
went down under the boiler to search the
sewer. ,
Many factors combine to make
police believe the theory tlt Newhall
committed suicide. Not only because
ho took the weapon uwoy with him,
which Is an unusual thing for the occa
sional criminal to do, according to po
lice but also udditionol information
gahcrcd as o his relations with the dcud
girl, confirm this theory in the minds
of many of tho detectives.

B.v the Associated Press
Washington. May .10. A nation loyal
first of all to itself, but never tailing to
measure up to the demands of nn nd
vnncing civilization, was pictured by
President Harding ns nn Amcricnn Idenl
today In n Memorlnl Day address at
Arlington National Cemetery.
Amcricnn heroes of every wnr. the
President said, had accomplished far
more than the immediate ends fpr which
they fought because they had helped
erect and preserve n shrino for tho
liberty-loving of every race. Ho de
clared the whole mission of America
would become nn unrealized dream if
thm 'hcrritage ever were sacrificed.
"Our country." said Mr. Harding.
uns never failed to measure up to tho
demands presented to it in behalf' of
humanity, nnd it never will."
Text of President's Address
The text of the President's address
follows :
"We are met on sacred soil today,
for a solemn hour of sacrament and
consecration. . But the soil whence ive
come Is itself sanctified through, the
pnerifices of those who lfo here.
Wherever our flng flies, within the
boundnries of the republic, it is over
Innds whose freedom nnd security
hnve been wrought through these sac
rifices. '
It is the privilege of this com
pany to utter our tribute o'f love and
grntitudo in this sacristy of beauty
within sight of the National Canltnl.
But others, no less devout, will ns"
semblc nil over our land, nnd "other
hinds, under foreign skies and among
alien peoples, to jmy Hko tribute of
love and memory.
There are no restricted boundaries
to the reverence of this day. Thera
is no discordant note In the hymn of
gratitude. With old wounds healed,
nnd it new generation's offering on the
altars of our patriotism, there is no
sectionalism in our meiuorinl. Abovo
the miirmurlngs of grief is the swell
ing concord of union, nud the domi
nant note is our fnith In the republic.
Ti Unite In Manj Tongues
It will be n tribute today spoken
in iiiniiv tongue", and by diverse
races. Wherever men are free they
are wont to give thought to our coun
try's services in freedom's cause.
Where men may aspire to a freedom
not jet achieved, their instinct turns
the eye and tin; thought of hope this
way, nnd the.v pray that their cause
mny gain our approbation.
They know thnt wo have never
drawn the sword of oppression, that
we have not bought what was not our
own, nor taken all that we might have
claimed. The have seen our protect
ing ann stretched over the outposts of
libertj on every continent. For moro
than a century our plighted word
warned tyranny from half tin- world ;
then, when the gauge wu.s taken up
by mnd ambition, men felt the blow
that aim could strike when freedom
answered In its utmost might. Across
the sens we sent our hosts of liberty N
sons, commissioned "to redress tha
eternal scales."
Today, the sons and daughters of
other lands to which they gave
their nil tire placing with loving
hands their laurels on Amcricnn
graves, not less ieereutl, than wc tiro
tloing here. To me, no thought come
with more of inspiration than this,
that now our Memorial Day is bo
i nine an inti'ruiiliouul occasion; that
it culls upon tho fortunate freo of
many lauds and couuti'icH to help in
its observance ; nnd thnt equally to
them nnd us it is u reminder of our
common truth to civilization, human
it, and everlasting justice.
Attest Veneration for Hero Dead
There aie gathered here the ashes
of n great nrin of thoc who fought
in the struggle which reservcd our
I'liion und insured our high place in
the coiumuiiit) of untioiis. Our debt
to them will nev'r be paid, but we
cun come, for them and for ourselves,
on this national commemoration day,
to attest our veneration und undying
love. The) tendered n service greater
than they knew, for the) saved our
Nation to the cause of human free
tlom ami paved the way to thai power
aud iiilluence which enabled it to
jiltty its part in behalf of all mankind
in the time of supreme crisis of tho
world.
We will not ovcr-nppraiso their
