CELEBRATION ON
HISTORIC GROUND
Ceremonies on independence Hall Square,
Philadelphia.
EX.MINISTER BAYARD is ORATOR
School Children Sing Patriotic Songs
and the Declaration of Independ-
euce Is Read-- Mr.. Bavard Argues
Against Theories That Tend to
Derange Our Currency.

Philadelphia, July 5.--The Pennsyl-
yania branch of the Society of the
War of 1912 today celebrated the one
hundred and twenty-first anniversary
of the nations birth by appropriate
public exercises. The ceremonies took
place in Independence Hall square. An
address was made by Mayor Warwick,
school children sang patriotic songs
and the Declaration of independence
was read, Ex-Minister of England
Thomas f. Bayard, delivered the ora
ton He spoke at length on present
dangers to the nations life.
Speaking particularly of the cur
rency he said: "a arrangement of the
currency of country is like unto a
poisoning of the life blood of a man,
and no greater danger can await us. A
disordered currency will confuse and
demoralize every transaction in life
great and small from the payment of
the daily wages of labor to the finan-
cial arrangements to carry out the
vastest enterprise. To embark the
business and contracts of a country
upon a currency which is not firmly
anchored upon a stable standard and
measure of value is to ensure ruin and
disaster to every member of society.
II conjure my fellow countrymen,
casting aside all other differences of
opinion, to reject the nostrums and
delusions of those remedies which in
seasons of popular distress or excite
ment induce the foolish and impious
belief in the power OF any government
to create values by statute"

ONE DOCTOR SUES ANOTHER.
Claims $4,000 for Alienation of His
Mite's AtfeCtiOns.

New York, July 5.-Dr. c. Franklin
Mohr, of No. 1877 West SiXty-third
street, has brought suit for $780, 900 dam
ages against Dr. William Stevens, Of
No. 20 West Fifty-second street, for
alternating the affections of his wife.
DR.. and Mrs. Mohr We're married
seven years in Baltimore. While DR..
Mohr was practicing in Newport, r. L.
during the spring of 1896, his wife came
to this city and went to live at a board
ing house at No. 135 West Forty-tirst
street. Dr. Stevens had rooms at the
same place.

last fall my wife did return to live with
me-" said DR.. Mohr.
"At that time ! only had suspicious.
My wife has obtained money from Dr..
Stevens, and | have been told that he
promised her house"
DR.. Stevens denied that he ever had
given Mrs. Mohr any money or had
promised her a house
William Greenthal, Dr. Mohr's attor-
ney, showed what purports to be a
confession from Mrs. Mohr duplicating
Dr. Stevens. Mr.. Greenthal says that
two days after DIR. Mohr got his wife's
confession the suit against DR.. stevens
was begun. Mr.. Greenthal said also
that DR.. Mohr would institute divorce
proceedings, naming DR.. Stevens as CO.
respondent.

SCRANTON RIDERS WIN.
They Take About Everything 10 Sight
in the Bicycle Races at
Dallas.
Special to the Scranton Tribune.

SpeCltl W lne oCldlton liiDuHes
Dallas, Pa, July 5.-the bicycle races
held here today under the auspices of
the West End Wheelmen, of Pittston,
were largely attended.
Scranton riders practically won
everything. Charles Coleman won both
the half-mile and two-mile lap races.
The finish il the former was of the
blanket variety and was so close be-
tween Coleman and White, as to cause
the judges considerable trouble in ar
irving at a decision. The sentiment of
the crowd was about equally divided,
but the judges decided in favor of Cole
man.
In the lap race the little Green
Ridge flyer won quite handily, with
Van Valkenburg second, and Ben Kel-
Ter third, Ralph Gregory sustained a
fall in the second lap, badly bruising
his shoulder and hip. He rode in the
events that followed however, although
badly handicapped from his injury.
In the heats of the mile open none
but Scranton riders qualified. In fact
the event was purely Scranton af-
fair and much laughter was caused
when some one called out, "All out for
the Lackawanna county champions
ship. on the taps for the sart were
White, Coleman, Keller, Gregory and
Dunn. Gregory caught the pace with
White, Keller, Coleman and Dunn
hanging on in the order named. They
held their positions until the last quar-
ter where they punched, swinging in

Coleman in the lead. 1t looked as If
they would finish in the same order,
when Coleman worked up an exceed
ingly strong sprint, passing Keller, but
was unable to do the same with White
who was sprinting equally as well and
who won out in a driving finish.
Two of the most popular wins OF the
day was that of VIII Marsh in the
final of the $50 class, and Harry Strong
in the two-mile handicap. Both are
practically new riders and very prom
ising ones at that.

L. A. W. NATIONAL MEET.
Some Pertinent Facts About the Big
Wheel Gathering.

Nneel SutueEihS'
Wheelmen throughout the entire
state of Pennsylvania, and particular
ly those in and near the city of Phil
adelphia, are more directly Interested
in the annual meet of the League of
American Wheelmen, to be held the
first week of August. than those who
live at a greater distance. While an
attendance of from $4,000 to 10000 is
looked for, the proportion which will
come from distant states will not be
nearly so great as that furnished by
nearby states. The number which
will attend from Pennsylvania alone
promises to run we'll up into the thou
sands; and in Philadelphia 1t would
seem as if every rider would want to
take in portion of the programme at
last.
1t would be well for riders who are
not members OF the League of Ameri-
can Wheelmen to remember that this
is not simply a gathering of cyclers or
a race meet held for the purpose of
making a profit, but a four days en-
tertCIzment extended to members of
the organization by the wheelmen of
Philadelphia, and that membership in
the l.. A. w. is absolutely necessary
q secure these privileges. The mem
bership ticket will be the first thing
asked for, will serve as a credential on
all occasions, and without it one will
be able to see little, for to most of
the scheduled entertainments no ad-
mission tickets will be sold to the
general public. Those who intend join
ing the League so as to be members
at the time of the meet should not
delay the matter a day longer, as II
requires from two to three weeks for

DEAD FROM A KICK.
Little Ellen Moriarity Helped Set on
Firecrackers Near n Colt.

Philadelphia, July 5.-Ellen Moriar-
ity, years, 1855 Patton street, was
found dead in bed by her mother yes
terday morning, death having been
caused by the kick of horse received
on Saturday afternoon.
Ellen and a number of other chill
dren were romping on a lot near her
home in the afternoon. A colt was
grazing there and the children sur
rounded IL. One of them exploded a
firecracker and the horse becoming
frightened kicked out, striking Ellen
on her stomach. She fell to the ground
insensible, and was carried to her
home.
Restoratives were applied to the child
and she soon was able to play about
the house during the late afternoon
and the evening. Yesterday afternoon
when Mrs. Moriarity attempted to
awaken the child she discovered that
she was dead.
An examination of the stomach
showed discoloratiOns, where the child
had been kicked.

PREFERRED HIS FATHER.
Boy Disregards the Courts Order to
Got His Mother.

Norristown, July 5.-Judge Weand
yesterday decided that Mrs. Mary Rein
hart, formerly of Fatland, should have
the custody of her 9-year-old son now
in care of his father, Henry Rein
hart.
The parents became separated last
fall. The father and son appeared in
court and when the court announced
it's decision young Reinhart clung des-
perately to the arms of his father and
piteously pleaded to remain with him.
For a time. there was n scene in the
court loom. In vain the mother plead
ed with the boy. The more she coaxed
the tighter grip he took upon his faith
er's arm. Mrs. Reinhart's lawyer then
reached for the hoy only to be repulsed
by the father, who told the attorney
that he had no business to interfere,
remarliirg that if the boy insisted in
going with him, in preference to his
mother, he would stand by him to the
last.
When the mother saw that her re-
course 10 law was vain. she asked for
q parting kiss, which he gave reluct-
antly. Mrs. Reinhart now resides in
Philadelphia.

MAY PROVE AN ALlBI.
Miss Spence's Alleged Assaiiant Said
TO Have Been in BlOckIPy June ~.

Media, Pa, July 5.-Miss Annie
Spence, the Elwyn Training school at
tendant, evidently made mistake
when she claimed to identify stephen
Smith, colored semi-imbecile, as the
man who attacked her on lonely
path near the institution last Sunday
evening.
In the cell which Smith occupied in
the town hall the night he was ar
rested, was found the discharge paper
of Stephen Smith from the correction
department of Blockley Almshouse, and
is dated June 2S.
The assault occurred the night be-
fore, on the 9th, and unless Smith
was discharged on Sunday and his
paper dated a day ahead, he is not
very likely the guilty man.
The girls first description of the
dress worn by her assailant did not tai,
ly with Smiths dress.
