PPMRPAAU BAKERY MONDAY EVENING, company him after the parade to the Biltmore Hotel where he was to be the city's' guest at a luncheon and make a brief speech. The program called for Mr. "Wilson's return to the Mayflower after the luncheon. Then the raising of the President's flag was to be the signal that the commander-in-chief of the fleet was ready to receive calls from its flag officers and captains. This ceremony completed at 3:30 o'clock, the Mayflower weighed anchor for the review. Her course was north between the battleships and the Manhattan shore. The Mayflower's escort was a diversion of destroyers followed by the dispatch boat Dolphin, carrying Sec retary Daniels and by the fleet tender Yankton, the police boat patrol and the auxiliary cruiser Dixie. Backbone of Navy The fleet which President Wilson sees to-day for the first time in his of ficial capacity comprises virtually the entire strength of the Atlantic naval forces and Is the backbone of a navy which at the outbreak of the Euro pean war stood second only to Great Britain's and Germany's. The cruiser division alone is not represented. Of the sixteen battleships, the super dreadnaughts New York and Texas with their great 14-inch g-uns are rated the most powerful. The other units of the battle squadron in the or der In which they were built are Wy oming (fleet flagship), Utah, Florida, Delaware, North Dakota, Michigan, South Carolina, Kansas, New Hamp shire, Louisiana, VJrgina, Rhode Is land, Nebraska and Georgia.

A handsomely-dressed woman rushed up, with arms extended: ".Vlaißtro," she cried, "I'm so happy to see you; so very happy." "Ah, Kutscherra, Kutscherra," cried one man, and allowed her to put her arms about him. But then suddenly he pushed her away and shouted, "No, no, no. you are a German. Away, away!" And turning to his companions, he beckoned tjiem, and left the dock without another look at the grief stricken woman. Such was the greeting of Camille Saint Saens, the far-famed French com poser, to Sline.

"Fine." "Wonderful!" "A great set of men.'' were some of the President's expressions as the blue line tramped past In front of the reviewing stand.

"Dynamite," a goat, restored his smile. The Mayflower's arrival In New York harbor last night instead of this morn ing was due to a storm off the New Jersey coast yesterday. Nearly every one in the President's party became seasick. The President showed the effects of the voyage less than other members of the party, hut did not feel very well, he said, ft is likely that the party will return to Washington by train.

CASTORIA For Infants and Children In Use For Over 30 Years Always bears - Signature of HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH HACKETT Bill IS VETOED BV GOVERNOR State Industrial Board Is Held Competent to Adjust Any Difficulties The State Industrial Board is held to be competent to adjust any difficul ties that may arise under the women's employment law of 1913 by Governor Brumbaugh In a message sent to the Senate to-day giving his reasons for vetoing the Hackett bill to extend the maximum number of hours women may be employed in hotels, boarding houses, restaurants and similar places. The Governor discusses the bill in de tail, saying in part: "This bill re lates to the terms of employment of lemales in hotels, boarding houses and restaurants. It amends existing law by changing the week hours from 54 to 63 and the day per week from to 6 x x x To lengthen the hours ol labor for all female employes in the establishments named is a serious matter. It Is asked for on the ground of administrative necessity. It is op posed on the ground of humane treat ment of women. In the last analysis the welfare of our people is the "su premely vital matter and the Indus trial Hoard is competent under law to adjust any difficulties that are rea sonably capable of adjustment. The cooks in hotels and restaurants get no relief by this measure and the pro prietors are inconvenienced because of the netd for early meals. Here again a reasonable adjustment may accom plish more than a reactionary law. In all such enactments it is difficult to distinguish between those who have never sensed the changing attitude of civilization to our working people and those who really desire to con serve social justice but find it difficult to do so. To the former the Common wealth can of course give no heed. To the latter every aid shall be given to the end that their proper activities may be safeguarded in connection with the welfare of these worthy women who honestly labor to live. Tiio present administration will gladly through its industrial board and its legal department lend every aid con sistent with the most humane and just treatment of the cases concerned." The Governor also vetoed the Thomas House bill directing boards of visitors as to the number of times they shall inspect placeß for the care of children, on the ground that it is loosely drawn and indefinite. Other Bills Vetoed Other bills vetoed were: Horton House bill relating to safety devices on trains at soft coal mines, the Governor saying: "It seems to me a waste of time and money to attempt to do by a new law what sane and sensible administration under existing law can do and do just as well." Hamilton House bill authorizing second class cities to issue bonds for two years instead of five. The Gover nor says it would open the whole mat ter to litigation and confusion and that existing laws afford methods whereby cities can negotiate bonds. Patton Senate bill directing city so licitor to prepare in advance plana of all improvements when a Jury is ap pointed to change a highway or take property for public use. The Gover nor says "No well governed city would refuse all necessary information to parties In interest when a change is made in any highway.

The city should have the right to amend and approve its plans if its constituted authorities so decide. This bill violates in essence the spirit of home rule for cities." Tompkins Senate bill validating cer tain divorces. On this the Governor says: "This bill purposes to validate certain divorces heretofore granted l in some manner not now defined by law. Since now affidavits on divorce may be taken before judges, justices of Ihe peace, notaries, prothonotaries and clerks of court it seems unnecessary to extend the power to include alder men and magistrates. It is all too easy now to secure a divorce. This bill would enlarge the field of easy endea vor and is therefore not in the inter est of the homes of our people." I,ynch Senate bill refunding a no tary fee to Clarence Balentine, Scran ton. Salus Senate bill authorizing Louis Gumbiner, Philadelphia, to sue the State for recovery of part of a certain wholesale liquor license fee which it is claimed was In excess. The Gover nor says: "This bill authorizes the plaintiff to use and recover in his action against the Commonwealth. If he is to recover why go through the formality of entering suit? Better, if the clear intent is to pay, at once make appropriation of amount claim ed and both the plaintiff and the Com monwealth saved the expense and bother of litigation. Moreover, the suit is to be tried in the court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia in stead of Dauphin county. Why locate the trial for the convenience of the plaintiff when the Commonwealth made no mistake?" The Governor vetoed the McNichol resolution for investigation of the fea sibility of constructing a ship canal from Philadelphia to the Atlantic across New Jersey. The Governor says there is a United States army body in charge of such engineering I works and surveys have been made I and results published. MAY 17, 1915.
