LXXXIII — No. 141 Standards That Waved 'Mid Shot and Shell Are Borne to State Capitol Rotuida Battle Flags Made Sacred in War Gone by Transferred by Grizzled Veterans to Spot Hallowed in Impressive Ex ercises ; Heroes of Many a Fray Carry the Regimental Colors as They Did So Long Ago; Big Parade Wit nessed by Thousands 'ennsylvania will officially observe the day set apart to honor the flag to day by a ceremonious transfer of 350 battle flags from the State Museum to the rotunda of the State Capitol and ii is doubtful if the exercises of the da> have ever been paralleled in the country. The flags are those which led Pennsylvania organizations in the four years of the Civil War and which floated above the. headquarters tents | of the State's organizations in United States service during the Spanish War. Among the flags is that of the "First Defenders," the organization which was first to respond to the call of Lincoln in 1861; the flags of the his-| torlc "Bucktails," of Pennsylvania Reserves and of famous cavalry regi ments. The 51 st Regiment, which was I lartranft's command, has the largest representation, 8 flags and 1! markers. The flag of the "Fighting Tenth" of Philippine fame and of the Pennsyl vania artillery in Porto liico will be carried too. Practically every flag will be borne by a survivor of the organization which it led and in a number of in stances the men who were color bear ers in the wars will bear them. For many it will be the last march behind the Mag and the closing ceremony on Capitol Hill a few hours before sunset to-day will be a trooping of the colors such has not been seen in Pennsyl vania since July 4, 1866, when the warriors of the Keystone State gath ered at Philadelphia and gave into the keeping of Governor Andrew G. Curtin a-- representative of the Common wealth the flags which they had fol lowed in the Civil War. In honor of the ceremony to-day is a holiday in l larrisburg and the State has furnished funds for the transpor tation of the color bearers to the State Capitol for their last service with the tlags. Many men of prominence in the service of Pennsylvania in the two wars will be here to see the tlags go by. The State's Flags The collection of battle flags is said to be the largest -of any State in the Union and since 1866 there have been steady additions. Over 300 are regi mental flags, some being so torn by battle and weather that but little is left. All of the flags have been sheathed in transparent silk netting, which will preserve them. These flags are among the prized possessions of the State. Until 1894 they were kept iri the old brick Capitol, which was burned three years later. After 1894 they were placed in the State Museum, where they have been ranged in great eases beside Rothermei's great paint ing of the Battle of Gettysburg and surrounded by portraits of war and relics of the Rebellion. When the Capitol was built niches were left for statuary and it was decided to utilize those on the first floor for the flags. | They have been surrounded with bronze work and faced with glass. MOVING PICTU MADE BY THE The Telegraph has planned to have to-day's historic scenes inci dent to the transfer of the Battle Flags preserved for all time in the form of moving: pictures.

Parade Big Feature Thousands reverently gazed on the battle-scarred flags of three wars as, | borne by those who were left of the men that looked up at them in the red carnage, they to-day passed through the streets of a peaceful city. The parade formed in four divisions at 1.45 o'clock on Pine, Third, Locust | and Walnut streets and moved from Walnut and Fourth streets south on Fourth to Market, west on Market to Front, north on Front to State, east on State to Third. When the head of the column arrived at State and Third streets the lines halted and the first three divisions spread out in a line along the south side of State street, facing north. Then the fourth di vision. which bore the battle flags, moved up ani} its members mounted the platforms that had been erected a little north of the main entrance to the Capitol. And here the exercises were carried out and then the flags were placed in the cases in the ro tunda of the Capitol, and others that j were in the museum were also carried i to their resting place in the Capitol. Veterans Full of War Talk Among the hundreds of veterans thronging the hotels to-day are many who participated in the battles iii j which they saw gleaming above their' regiments the flags that to-day they 1 reverently placed in their resting places , under the dome of the Capitol of the ' State whose name they honored on the field of battle. And they were full of j war talk. There were scores of remi- i niscenees of bloody battlefields, in quiries comrades long passed I away, clasping of hands that hadn't touched for many a year. The veterans began arriving last night and all morning the trains | brought them in. The adjutant gen- i eral's office on the "Hill" was crowded I with veterans who came to convey their respects. The morning was | mostly spent seeing the sights of the I town and going through the Capitol building. Many of the veterans hadn't been here since '65. A man from Scranton laughed: "This is the first time I've been here since the war davs. Things have changed a bit." Many a Tale Could Ise Told But for many of the boys in blue | the flag transfer exercises afford an 1 opportunity for the second time this year to greet old comrades, as a num ber of them are fresh from the State encampment at Indiana.

DEMOCRATS WAR HERE AND ABROAD OVER BOSSISM Howard Jones and George Wer ner Are Candidates For the City Chairmanship Now PUT IT UP TO LITTLE BOSS Philadelphia City Chairman Bolts the Platform and Hands Bosses a Jolt Just as an indication of how dis unlted and inharmonious the Demo crats of Pennsylvania and Harrisburg are on the eve of one of the most strenuous of campaigns it may be stated that in Philadelphia B. Gor don Bromley, chairman of the city committee, has declared that ths plat form adopted by a committee without the State committee having anything to do with it will not bind him and in Harrisburg Democarts are quarrel ing whether Howard Jones or George A. Werner shall be chairman of the Democratic city committee. The head that assumes to boss the Democrats in this State, county and city will always be uneasy. Many able men have found that out and there are men living who have gray hairs as a result of their experiences with the bellicose minority party. The State machine has been built up with great care and all manner of assistance from national and State Democrats and yet it seems to have failed to get away with its platform making. The city machine has been constructed on a solid financial basis and it appeal's to have weak points, too. ltow Kiiiiit at. Home It is said that Vance C. McCormtck, who had to exert himself mightily to hold the home town and county in the recent primary, particularly de sired that the campaign here might be free from bickering so that he could devote himself to the gigantic task of running for Governor. And right when it was all framed un to have the election of chairmen of the city and county committees go as smoothly as the election of State Chairman Morris last year, when there was nothing to fight over, a fric tion is started. Some time ago it was decided by the Little Boss that Herr Moeslein should be re-elected county chairman and Warren VanDyke was rather fa vored for city chairman, although the word did not go out. Then VanDyke [Continued on Page 5] WILSON PROTESTS WHEN BUSINESS MEN BEG FOB EENIENCY Declares Their Appeals Will Have No Effect on Administra tion's Policy By Associated Press Washington. V. C„ June 15. —Presi- dent Wilson made the direct charge to-day that sentiment in favor of post ponement of the administration trust legislation program was the result of a campaign by certain interests and inti mated that it was the cause of the 'psychological business depression" of which he recently spoke. In support of the President's view copies of letters and telegrams circu lated among business men calling for an adjournment of Congress without completion of the trust bills, praying for the freight .rate increase being asked by the railroads of the Inter state Commerce Commission and call ing for a halt, of the "attacks on busi ness" were ntadc public at the White House. President Wilson made it clear to his callers that the campaign would have no effect upon him and that it was his plan to push the trust pro gram through the Senate with the aid of all the means at his command, lie expressed the view that business was as good, if not better, now than a while ago, and that it would be less harmful to the business of the country to have the trust legislation program completed than to be confronted with a period of uncertainty which would accompany delay.

Charles S. Hamlin, of Boston, now assistant secretary of the Treas ury, is expected to be designated in his place when the nominations for the entire board go to the Senate.

SUE TEN (MINIS iO FAIL TO ME OUT NEW LICENSE Health Bureau Asks Merchants to Show Cause Why Places Shouldn't Be Closed Suite against ten merchants in Har rlsburg who have failed to take out inspection licenses and pay a fee of $5 for the same, as required under the recent councilmanic legislation, were entered to-day by the Bureau of Health. The law states that these licenses must be taken out not later than June 1. Up to the present approxi mately 130 have failed to take out the licenses. According- to the officials of the Bureau of Health, the excuse is general, when these delinquents are warned: "Well, we paid our mercan tile license, didn't we?" Failing to make the 150 liquidate their indebtedness, the Bureau of Health has selected ten names at ran dom. taking two from each of the provlsioners that come under the law: two bakers, two restauranteurs, two ice cream dealers, two milk dealers and two butchers. The Board of Health asks them to show cause why their places of business should not be closed unless they pay the license as required by law.

WILSON WHIP IS CRUMBLING FAST: DEMOCRATS 111 GLOOM Administration Fails to Make Good; Revenues Not Up to Expectations LOOKS LIKE DEFICIT SURE Business Going From Bad to Worse; Mexican Fiasco Having Its Effects Special to The Telegraph Washington, D. C„ June 15. The evidences of the collapse of the Wilson Administration multiply on every hand. Even the Democratic leaders who have upheld the Administration thus far am complaining of the hope less conditions. The failure of the income tax on In dividuals to yield much more than half the amount expected from it has given Democratic leaders a shock. Another shock is administered by official figures showing that the bal ance of trade lias swung heavily against the United States as the result of the new tariff. t T nless the present outlook changes in less than a year, according to the predictions of many familiar with tlio affairs of the government, the Admin istration will he obliged to revise the tarifl law again or issue bonds to keep the wheels in motion. -Falling Revenues The Democrats estimated that, the personal income tax would bring in about $55,000,000 for the first ten months of its operation. It is now found that the law will yield not to exceed 5.10,000,000 in the present fiscal year, although Secretary McAdoo has expressed the hope of increasing the revenue from this source by proscut- InK evaders of the law. If it were not for the fact that cus toms receipts have thus far exceeded the estimates the Secretary of the Treasury probably would be obliged to report a delicit at the end of the fiscal year.
