STIiiDSIHIIIIW MID SHOT IIIUD SHELL [Continued From First Page] fold stories of the struggle and the anguish of the llelds of battle in which the flags that are being carried this afternoon received their baptism ot tire and were ripped into ribbons bv the shrieking shells that fell among their defenders. Proudly borne aloft in the same di vision as the flags of the Civil War were the banners of a younger gen eration who carried their colors through the hot jungles and the dis ease-breeding, dirty cities of Cuba and 1 orto moo, where also these left many comrades behind, dyins; not in the flushed glory of battle, but slowly and dismally rotting under the tropcial sun. As early as yesterday homes and buildings throughout the city were adorned with flags. Others appeared this morning, until the whole down town was a mass of waving banners. It is a celebration such as Marrisburg has never before seen, and unique in the nation. At noon places ol" busi ness and mills and shops closed and the people came pouring out upon the streets. Distinguished in the crowd were, here and there, the blue-coated veterans proceeding to take their places fn the parade. To them the day was more than a holiday, an even more impressive and momentous event than Memorial Day; and in all recent history, possibly, only the remarkable gathering at Gettysburg has eclipsed it. In the Panicle The following associations and or ganizations participated in the parade: Platoon of police; chief marshal, Major-General John W. Sehali; assist ant marshals, Major-Generai C. FS. Dougherty and Colonel Joseph B. Hutchison; chief of staff. Lieutenant- Colonel Maurice E. Finney: aids, Major Fred M. Ott, Major J. Markwood Pe ters. Captain Edward H. Schell.

This division will be composed of the battle flags of Penn sylvania, carried by representatives of the respective regiments. Children to Sing Songs One hundred and fifty children will sing with band accompaniment. These children are picked from the city schools and have been trained for a month. They will sing "Pennsylvania," "Battle Hymn of the Republic," "America" and "Pennsylvania's Battle Flags," a hymn specially written for the occasion by Mrs. Mabel Cronise Jones, of Harrisburg. Senator Franklin Martin, of Cum berland, chairman of the commission to arrange for the flag transfer, will preside. Governor John K. Tener will make an address and Major Moses Veale, of Philadelphia, will deliver the oration. The Rev. J. Richards Boyle, of Reading, chaplain of the Loyal Legion, is to offer the invocation and the Rev. M. L. Ganoe, chaplain of tho State Grand Army of the Republic, will pronounce the benediction. When the exercises end the roll of regiments will be called and the veterans will march from their stand through the massive bronze doors of the Capitol and place the flags where thev will be seen of all men for years to come. The Governor's Speech Governor Tener in his address be fore the gathered veterans said: "We are garthered to-day to per form a pleasant yet very important duty, and to participate, as well, in a most interesting ceremony. "Our duty is to carry into effect the legislative injunction that the battle flags heretofore housed in the State Library building, be transferred to the main building of the Capitol, and to place them in the receptacles provided there for that purpose. The duty, therefore, which de volved upon the committee in charge is indeed an important one, since the flags thus to be transferred constitute precious and priceless possessions of the Commonwealth. "It is proper, too, that by fitting public ceremony the committee should conduct those exercises and that a day and date should be selected for such ceremonies, when throughout this; and at this hour, all people of the nation are paying tribute to the flag of their country. Speaking for the State, as I may, it is with great pleasure I welcome you to Harrisburg, the seat of the Commonwealth's gov ernment, and not only do I welcome but sincerely thank the veterans of the blue who are gathered hereabouts, and who at so much sacrifice have at tended and by t* , ir presence and serv ice made possible ttio complete suc cess of this undertaking. There are soldiers here who have followed the flag they now carry, into fiercest bat tles and on to victory. The flag of our country was, we are told, first designed and wrought in Pennsyl vania, and never changed in its essen tial features from that day to this It is a flag respected by all nations, a flag as emblematic of our nation's patriots and institutions as is the sacred cross of the Christian world— a flag thiit has never gone down to ultimate defeat. us, therefore, protect and preserve those precious though tattered emblems as we shall ever honor and revere the memory of those brave men who defended them. More than fifty years ago, when the dissolution of the Union was threat ened, soldiers of the South, followed their flags of Stars and Bars, while men of the North clung to Old Glory. 1' rom that day to this no emblem is so precious to an united nation as the dear old Stars and Stripes. An orator upon the occasion of the fiftieth anni versary reunion said to the veterans of the Gray there assembled, and speaking of our national emblem: " 'lt was your flag and our flag in the closing dayß of the revolution. We had no quarrel then, for we stood side by side in grim and successful resist ance to our common oppressor. It was your flag and our flag when we marched upon the Mexican Capitol. Grant and Lee supported it then. Tt was our flag when you raised the Stars and Bars; but we continued to hold and to cherish it, not alone for ourselves, but for you. Then came the war with Spain. Again it was your flag and our flag, the flag of Dewey and the flag of Wheeler, fight ing together as patriots and country men. And now, when we boast of a reunited country, more rich and powerful in men and wealth than any nation on the face of the globe, it is Father asd SOB Bear Tattered Flags of Nation in Parade Ililk JHI FRANCIS H. HOY To-day and Fifty Years Ago. Francis H. Hoy, Senior and Junior, Carry Standards That Passed Through Iron and Fire and Smoke of Two Wars Father and son. Francis H. Hoy and Francis H. Hoy, Jr., carried two of the tattered battle Hags in to-day's proces sion which marked the transfer of the banners of the nation to the brand new specially constructed cases in the rotunda of the Capitol. But the fact that the standard-bear ing acts were kept in the family, as it were, isn't the really significant part of the story. Both father and son served tinder the very flags they carried. Hoy, senior, actually bore the colors when that act was fraught with grave possibilities—when the sight of some crimson and white stripes and a few stars in a blue field above the smoke and flashes of ritle and artillery fire meant must for the steadiness of the still your flag as it is still our flag— the glorious emblem of a peaceful and prosperous people.'' .Martin Tells the Story The story of how Pennsylvania came to gather its matchless collec tion of battleflags will be told this afternoon at the exercises by Senator Franklin Martin, of West Fairview, chairman of the commission in charge of the transfer. The Senator has been identified with the movement for a fitting ceremony from the be ginning. In his speecli the Senator will say in part: "Why do we reverence and love the Stars and Stripes? Because it repre sents our Government, our honor and our firesides. __"lt had its birth on the 4th of July, 1i76, when the Continental Congress adopted a resolution declaring that the thirteen original colonies are and of right ought to be free and inde- Spates and on the 14th of June, 1777, a resolution was passed providing that the design of the flag of the United States of America should contain thirteen red and white stripes representing the thirteen original coionies and as many stars in a field of blue. On April 4, 181S, Congress enacted a further resolution provid ing that for each new State admitted to the Union a new star should be added to the flag. "At the beginning of the Civil war, April 12. 1861, the flag contained ?4 stars and at the close of that contest there were 36—West Virginia and Nevada eomign in during the war. Buttles Won and Battles Lost On December 10. 1860, South Caro lina- seceded and declared the Union dissolved; six other Southern States soon followed. For a time it ap peared that Old Glory's starry field would be rent asunder. The Boys in Blue were called out, and willingly did they respond. Battles were won and lost—the Stars and Stripes were tattered and torn and drenched in the blood of thousands of fallen heroes. But the flag came out of that long and memorable struggle without the loss of a single star. On April 9, 1865, Lee surrendered to Grant at Appo mattox and on April 12, four years to the day from the firing on Sumpter, General Anderson raised the Stars and Stripes again over tho ramparts of that same fort. The wounds of that conflict have long since healed over. When war with Spain was de clared in 1898 there was an equal and loval response from North, South, East and West, but all under the same flag. The fiftieth anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg in July, 1913, was as great in historical significance as the battle in 1863. Just fifty years from the day Pickett made his famous charge, the survivors of the contend ing armies stood upon that same hal lowed ground and with tear-dimmed eyes the Blue and the Gray clasped hands in everlasting fealty and al legiance to that glorious banner, the flag of our Union. "On May i 5, 1865, after the close of the war, the War Department at Washington ordered that the flags be restored to the custody of the States. Pennsylvania had many regiments en gaged in the war and extensive prepa rations were made t„ hold appropriate ceremonies for the transfer of the flags at Independence Hall, Philadel phia, July 4, 1866. General Harry White was chairman, General George G. Meade made the presentation speech, and our great War Governor, the Honorable Andrew G. Curtln, made the address of acceptance. A large street parade took place, mar shaled by Geenral Winfleld S. Han cock and a vast multitude of patriotic citizens participated in celebrating the occasion of the transfer of Pennsyl vania's flags. Some Present Today "Some of the Boys in Blue who carried the colors on that day are present to-day and carrying the same flags. The flags were shipped to Har risburg and *.,.! re placed in a room in the State Capitol. In 1893 on ac count of extensive repairs to the Cap itol building the flags were moved to the State Arsenal, and later they were brought back and placed in what was known as the flag room in the east wing of the Capitol; and in Jan uary, 1895, a few days before the close of Governor Pattison's second term, they were moved without any cere monies to the State Library Museum fortunate to escape destruction when the Capitol building burned on Feb ruary 2, 1897, and fiom the Library Museum they are being transferred to-day to the rotunda of the Capitol. "In the transfer we have 322 flags from the Civil War. twenty-two from the Spanish war, six unknown flags, one 1812 flag and the Lincoln Gettys burg flag, a total of 352. "These U)rn and tattered battle-rent emblems of national pride neod no eulogy, their history is written in "ie blood of Pennsylvania's loyal sons who fought and died for the preservation blue line beneath. Captain Hoy, Jr., carried the banner of the Third Penn sylvania in the late unpleasantness with Spain. He served with distinc tion all through that war. The senior color bearer is the newly chosen vice-commander of the Depart ment of Pennsylvania, Grand Army of the Republic, who served with Com pany A, One Hundred and Twenty seventh Pennsylvania Volunteers, the I'irst City Zouaves, and who later was color bearer for the Two Hundred and First Pennsylvania Volunteers. That's why as Hoy tramped along friends of war-time days remembered the stir ring times of half a century ago. "Why," they said as the flag and Mr. Hoy went by, "he does it to-day—just as he did it fifty years ago." of the nation. Therefore, let them be presened as a tribute to our fallen heroes, and as an ever-living inspira tion of loyalty and patriotism to the generations that follow."

Rabbi Deplores Lack of Respect Shown Flag At. the services at Temple Ohev Sholom Rabbi Freund delivered an address in which he made a plea for a greater respect to the flag. He said: "This week there will occur the trans fer of the standards from our State Library to the rotunda of our State Capitol. They will be proudly borne by men who have grown hoary in the service of their country. They are mute reminders of the struggle of live decades ago and of our more recent settlement of difficulty with Spain. Tattered and torn, battle marred and marked they are withal the flag of out country. On Sunday June fourteenth is the anniversary of the birth of out' flag, which 'borrowed from the dawn its rosy blushes, took from the jewel casket of the night its starry gems and set them in blue,' giving us the stars and stripes, the flag of our country, guarded and guided by the God of na tions. It is right that occasions such as these should make us pause, to become cognizant of our need to show a constant respect for the flag. America is a young nation. We do not feel ourselves bound by age-long traditions. Our people imagine that with the liberty they possess they can say and do what they please. After the recent 'Tampico affair,' we saw cartoons in some of the newspapers and heard remarks fr.m some stage platforms that did not at all times indicate a proper respect for the flag. We must reverance the flag because of the thing for which it has stood in the past and which it yet typifies. Things which go on in our country would not be possible in some of the countries of' Europe. The flippant at titude is manuested because in many instances the sacred things of life are regarded too lightly by us and we are not serious minded enough. If we expect others to respect our flag, then we must first respect it our selves." Old Color Sergeant Was in Only 34 Fights C. G. Malin, of Ridgway, Elk coun ty, carried the flag of the One Hun dred and Eleventh Pennsylvania Vol unteers. Comrade Malin came out of the war with a record. He was in thirty-four engagements, including the Battle of Gettysburg. First Sergeant Malin was his title and he was color guard at the Battle of Antietam. Scarcely one hundred members of the One Hundred and Eleventh live to tell of the awful slaughter during the days of the War of the Rebellion. Sergeant Malin is the walking his torian of this regiment and his tales are thrilling and interesting. Follow ing the second day's battle, Sergeant Malin slept five feet from the rebel army. A stone wall separated him and his companions from the "rebs." In order to get a place to go to sleep Sergeant Marlin found it necessary to move the dead body of a rebel. The "Old Wild Cat" With this comrade was another fa mous fighter from Elk county. Cor poral James Penfleld, a member of Company H, One Hundred and Fifth Regiment, known as the "Old Wild Cat" regiment. It was a regiment of real fighters. They came from the lumber districts of Elk and Jefferson counties and the men were rugged woodsmen. Corporal Penfleld was color guard and to-day carried the old flag of his regiment which went through many battles. Corporal Penfleld was wound ed twice. One ball went into his left thigh and as was shot through the collarbone. His first wound was received at Spottsylvania Courthouse, May 12, 1864. He was in the siege of Richmond and Petersburg and also witnessed the surrender of General Lee. Corporal Penfleld told many thrilling tales of his career during the War of the Rebellion.

WILSOI3 PROTESTS * TO BUSINESS MEN CContinued from First Page] Simmons, the head of the company, had been selected for a member of the Federal Reserve Board and his nomi nation was to have gone to the Senate to-day. This morning it was an nounced at the White House that Mr. Simmons had declined the place and that Charles S. Hamlin, of Boston, now an assistant secretary of th« treas ury, would be nominated in his place. White House officials emphatically de nied, however, that the circular letter sent out by the Simmons Company had any connection with the declination of Mr. Simmons. Another circular letter made public purported to have been sent out by the Pictorial Review Company, ol" New Vork, and was signed by W. P. Ahnelt as president, it was dated May I and enclosed « draft of a letter "which cm braces the views of a majority of the thinking business people of our sec tion of the country and which should be addressed to the President of the United States, the Congress and mem bers of the Interstate Commerce Com mission respectively." The letter con cludes: "If you prefer to use copies of the enclosed letter we will mail you as many as you can conveniently use. it will be more effective, however, if you write them on your own letterheads." The form letter attached was an ap peal for postponement of trust legis lation and a 5 per cent, freight rate increase for the railroads. A copy of a night lettergram con taining the contents of the form letter in condensed terms was attached. Not since President Wilson made hin charge of "an insidious lobby" in Washington to influence tariff legis lation has there been a sensation of such a sort in official circles. News of what the President has said and of the giving out of the circular letters spread quickly to the Capitol, where it became the subject of animated dis cussion in both houses of Congress. The letter purporting to have been sent out by the Simmons company was dated June 0, which was after Mr. Simmons had been offered a place on the reserve board. This letter was not given out for publication with the others. THE TEMPTING SAI.AI) Salads in one form or another seem to be more in demand during the month of June than any other season of the year.
