New York, May 23.-Those who
are working to bring about a ms
observance of independence Day, with
more patriotism, less noise and fewer
casualties, have succeeded in bringing
New York into line with their old
new idea. At the suggestion of the
Merchants Association. Mayor Cay
nor has taken IN with enthusiasm the
proposal for an id-fa shioned Fourth
Of July celebration in this city this
year. A committee of citizens is al
ready working on the plans for the
observance of the day which are to
include a grand parade made up Of
National Guard regiments. United
states soldiers and sailors, members
Of the police and fire departments,
thousands of school children and rep
rescntatives of the hundreds of fra
teinal, social, industrial and patriotic
organizations. In the afternoon there
will he mn and athletic re~creations
of various sorts in different parts OF
the city. Fireworks are not to be
left out Of account by any means.
The small boy will be denied his
deadly toy annon and the pistol
shooting celebIant will be sternly re-
pressed, but to make w for these
questionable losses there will be q
grand display of fireworks under the
auspices Of the city itself along the
waterfront and in the parks. These
measures, in addition to the lestric-
ticns which have been put upon the
sale of firecrackers for three weeks
before July 4, it IS believed, Will re-
suit In the saving of some few million
dollais OF fire loss, will relieve the
hospitals end the moIguc q the extra
labor usually imposed by tho casual
ties of the day, and will not lessen
anybody's enjoyment of the occasion.
1t is held that in New York with it's
large foreign population 1t will be
particularly desirable to place more
emphasis ON the real meaning of the
day and to make is less IN event or
noise and disorder. Even native-born
Americans. 1t IS held, will not suffer
by hearing the Declaration of Inde-
pcndcnce read and listening to an adj
dress on the duties of patriotism.

the fight against the all-around in
crcoscs in transportation rates which

the controversy was the announce

h~2uitcs h9vc promptly organized and

state commerce commission, injunc-
ions and demands for state lcgisla-
ion to block the action of the rail-
