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

Governor Brumbaugh, in his inaug

said the people of Pennsylvania have
been "over-lawed." "We have gone
too far upon the theory that legislation
is the cure of our social, economic

task of educating our people into au

The Governor said the State needs
few additional laws. He urged that leg

give to the people the few vital enact

done the Legislature should adjourn.

Mr. Brumbaugh urged tho Legisla

intoxicating liquors should be solfl in
their counties. He said the question is

FOURTEEN MEN SHOT IN RIOT
Four of Them Mortally Wounded in
Pitched Battle Between Strikers
and Deputy Sheriffs
By Associated Press,
Roosevelt, N. J., Jan. .19. —Fourteen
men were shot, four of them being
mortally wounded in a pitched battle
between 250 striking laborers and 50
deputy sheriffs at the plant of the
American Agricultural Chemical Com
pany here to-day.
The fight occurred when the strikers
stopped a Central Railroad of New Jer
sey train from Elizabethport to see if
the train brought strike-breakers to the
plant. There were no strike-breakers
about, but a fev office employes who
were with tihe passengers started an
outcry, believing that the strikers in
tended to harm them.
In answer to the call fifty deputy
sheriffs, armed with rifles and revol
vers, ran to the scene from the com
pany's plant, where they had ueen sta
tioned for the past two weeks. A gen
eral encounter between the deputies and
the strikers followed
At first only stones were used. Then
some one fired a shot. This was the
signal for a fusillade, which came ap
parently from both sides. None of the
deputies was injured, but many of the
strikers fell. Most of the wounded
men were shot through the legs, .is the
deputies tired low. The strikers dis
persed, some of them carrying the
wounded men away.
The four most seriously v>minded
were taken to a hospital at Elizabeth.
It was said these men probably would
die.

—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
