PARADE IS SPECTACULAR FEATURE OK INAUGURATION A monster street parade, made up of Republican marching clubs from most of the large cities of the State; dozens of bands, a provisional regiment of the National Guard, firemen and two ele phants—real symbols of the "O. O. P."—was the most spectacular feature j this afternoon of the iuaugural cere- j monies'which marked the induction to! office of Dr. Martin G. Brumbaugh, : Pennsylvania's new Governor, i The parade started from Front and i Market streets, the point of formation, i j promptly at 1 o'clock, and traversed i the crowded route, just as had been j | originally planned. in so far as was noticeable, the only I ! change from the original lineup was the j ! position of the South Philadelphia Re- ! j publican Marching Club. This is Wil- I liam S. Vare's club and> he successfully | j fought the plan to put his clubmen at ' ; the rear of the second division, half j a mile or more away from the eight ' I hundred or more marchers representing i "Strawberry Jim" McNiehol's aggre- j j gation, the Philadelphia Republican i I Club. The Vare crowd, of something 1 j like six hundred members, fell in line j J immediately behind the other delega tion from the Quaker City, i Two Real "G. O. P. " Elephants The elephants, one monster "Jum . bo "and a brother "Bill," who was aj' ; trifle smaller, were in line immediately ! behind the first hundred of McNiehol's i i marchers, and each animal bore the , j"G. O. P." placard. , Twelve companies of the National ] j 'ruard, six of the Eighth regiment and ' I six of the Fourth, headed by Colonel j I Joseph B. Hutchison, Chief of Police' j of Harrisburg, made up a part of the: first division and they won enthusiastic ! applause all along the route. So .lid the ! : battalion of State College cadets, who l j made a splendid appearance. The hundred or more men from Hunt- i < j ingdon county, the boyhood home of!' : Governor Brumbaugh," spared no time 1 >or expense in preparing for the walk- ■ j around. As thev went along the line ! t l they were greeted by the cheering thou- I ! sands and the marchers '' were there ' , with the noise too." Some of the banners they carried 1 contained such inscriptions as these: 1 "Our boy, our friend, our neighbor 1 was present to witness the ceremonv Huntingdon county;" "Solely for the 1 People;" "Good Roads;" "No Prom- i ises;" "Honestly frank, frankly lion- l est;" and "1916, Huntingdon to Har risburg to Washington." ] Every now and then one of the ' many bands would hit up: "Its a Long, 1 Long Way to Tipperary," and "Pri vate Tommy Atkins," the marching songs now being used by the British soldiers in the great European war. ] The Hands everywhere made a hit, the i crowds of spectators cheering and join ing in whistling of these popular airs. I Fire Apparatus Hastily Polished Except for the fact that lines of hose i HARRISBURG, PA., TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 19, 1915—12 PAGES. 1 ln,v along Market street, from Front to the Square, and some also were to be seen in Market Square, there was little or no evidence, so far as the parade was concerned, that Harrisburg firemen were on duty nil last night fightiug one of the most stubborn and dangerous fires the city has hud in months.' Some ol' the firemen, who were fight ing the biaze up until noon, did not | have sufficient time to prepare for the parade and their apparatus was return ed to thoir Alehouses. Other appa ratus, however, was as clean and bright j as though it hud not been need at tlw ; big blaze. , The elephants wore especially attrac tive to the youngsters. The ol ler folk", too, realized the significance ot' the two '"G. O. P." mascots being in | line. The Highland Quard Pipe Hand, which accompanied one section of tho i South Philadelphia Republican Club, the \ are delegation, got special upplauso all along the line. The Highlanders' dress was in true Scottish style. The men wore regulation kilts and their knees were bare, but none of lh t > boys from "Bonny Scotland" complained ot being cold. While the parade was be ing formed the Highlanders entertained the marchers and North Front street residents tvith Scottish dances and dit ties. The Philadelphia Delegations The Philadelphia Hepub.icans made a splendid appearance. Members ot' the McNichol division wore silk hats, car ried yellow canes and wore tan gloves and tan spats. Yellow canes a-!so were carried by the Vare delegation and | their dress otherwise was similar to that, of. the McNichol forces except thai, -their gloves an I spats were smoke col- I ored. ' To those marchers who had expected the parade would make an early get away, possibly at 12,30, the wait along 'the river front became almost a hard j ship. A chilly wind from the northwest ' made standing uncomfortable and many i sought shelter on porches, back of tree's and in vestibules of the Front street j homes. Some of the marchers carried what I looked like "thermos" bottles anil oth jers carried .just plain bott'es, evidently | accepting the weatherman's "tip" that [the lay would be a cold one, and they had no difficulty in keeping warm and 'staving off discouragement attending ! delay. ° The crowd along the route of the paiadc wasn t anything like as largo ! as the one that witnessed the big pa rade during the Firemen's convention held in Harris-burg last October. Rush for Points of Vantage In the streets of tho business section the people were standing six and eight deep on the sidewalks and this was equally true on other streets.

"We have gone too far upon the theory that legislation is the cure of our social, economic political ills," he said.

I POSTSCRIPT PRICE, ONE CENT FlfiE LOSS IS *100,000; 9 MEN HURT Kaufman Stores Wiped Out and Adjoining Properties Damaged by Flames Which Chief Kindler's Men Keep From Spread ing Further in Heart of Congested Busi ness District BATTLE LASTS INTO AFTERNOON Smoke-Eaters Work for More Than Half a Day on Blaze Start ing at Night Which Attracts Thousands of Inaugural Visitors —Big Losses Through Flooding of Cellars of Market Street and Square Properties All the Are companies in the city by four successive alarms, were called to tight Haines that started iu the cellar of the Kaufman Underselling stores, 4 to 8 South Market Square, at 11 o'clock last night. The it tunes wrecked two buildings of the Kaufman stores, and damaged seriously the third Kauf man building, to the south, the lowci floors of which house the grocery store of S. S. Pomeroy. Other important business buildings in that closely built district for hours were menaced by flames. Water spread through cellars of many buildings in the block and caused much loss. Estimates this morn ing placed the entire loss at between $90,000 and SIOO,OOO. The fire was under control at 4 o'clock this morning, but a big force of smoke-eaters still were on tha job this afternoon. Nine firemen were treated in hospitals or by private physi cians for injuries received during the loug battle with the flames, but only one man was so seriously hurt as to have to be admitted to a hospital ward. It was the most spectacular blaze in llarrißburg for years and the Market Square plaza for hours after midnight was crowded to capacity with persous attracted by the excitement, in tho crowd were hundreds of persons from other cities, brought hero for the in'- augural exercises to-day. Market Street Cellars Flooded It will be days before an accurate accounting can be made. Two of the Kaufman buildings are believed to be a total loss, along with the contents. Firemen say that the only part of the Pomeroy stock that is saved is the canned goods. Thousands of dollars of damage was done by water to the stocks in the cellars of the building* along Market street, adjoining the Kaufman store in the rear. "No theory as to the origiu of tha fire has been advanced," said Chief Kind'ler this afternoon, whose only in formation as to the start of the blaze, he said, came from the uight watch man who discovered it in the eellar near the elevator shaft. It became a serious problem this morning coping with the stubborn blaze in tho cellars of the Kaufman and Pomeroy stores, and frequently after daylight there would be big bursts of flame. By noon the firemen, many of whom had worked for thirteeu hours, still were flooding the cellars of the burned buildings to quench the smould ering embers. I Fire Chief Kindler, who took per sonal charge of the fire fighters, stayed throughout the morning. He announced that he would not take part in the in augural parade and that enough fire men would be kept on hand to keep the flames from breaking out anew Changes to steamer connections had to be made at noon, the Susquehanna and Hope steamers being moved to the south end of the squaro so that the in augural parade could be move.l out Market street from b'ront street with out encountering hose lines.
