Mayor'# citizens' committee, an escort
of mounted police and a great crowd
of citizens. Automobiles were on hand
to carry tha President and his official
party to the reviewing stand In front
of the public library at Fifth avenue
and Forty-second street. Extraordi
nary precautions had been taken to
protect the Chief Executive. In addi
tion to the usual secret service guards
and the uniformed police, the whole
detective force, 600 strong were as
signed to stations along the line of
march.
From each ship 250 bluejackets and
*ixty marines were landed to form
four regiments of bluejackets and
one of marines—under the command
of Admiral Dewitt Coffman, brigade
commojnder. Not a few officers and
men distinguished themselves at a less
peacoful landing party at Vera Cruz
more> than a year ago.

The line of march, densely packed
with spectators, was along Twenty
fifth street, Fifth avenue, Fifty-sev

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

Delaware, North Dakota, Michigan,
South Carolina, Kansas, New Hamp

New York. May 17. —When the transatlantic liner Kochambeau had
warped into her dock here four dignified men came down the gangplank. 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. Elies Kutscherra. the Wagnerian lieder singer friend of royalty,
and for the past fifteen years, associated with Saint Saens in professional work.
monitors, mine laying, repair, hospital, |
refrigerator and other auxiliary ves
sels compose the rest of the fleet.
"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.
Once his face became«cery grave, how
ever, when the sailors from the Florida
and Utah marched by holding aloft a
standard on which was written "Vera
Cruz, April 21-22, 1914." The Florida's
mascot. "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.
In his room the President received a
number of telegrams from Washing-1
ton. It "was said that they contained I
nothing requiring his immediate at- I
tentlon. Some of the messages, it was I
said, outlined the reception by the I
press of Germany of the President's |

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. When the city
wishes to enter upon some great and
important improvement it is mani
festly unwise to limit, such Improve
ment to the planH made in advance

such plans, take over private property
and assess damages according to law
there would remain only one thing
to do—go to the end of the improve
ment without making any change in
the plans or suffer the penalty of
violating this provision were it en
acted. 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.
