[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.

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

But the fact that the standard-bear

Both father and son served tinder

.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

carried the banner of the Third Penn
sylvania in the late unpleasantness
with Spain. He served with distinc

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."

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.

lumber districts of Elk and Jefferson
counties and the men were rugged
woodsmen.

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,

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.
