CENTURY OF PEACE
BEING CELEBRATED
Following Commodore Perry's Victory
on Lake Erie-Pennsylvani City Is
Filling with Great Throng.

Erie, Pa, July THE Ginning of
church bells and the booming of cannon
Sunday morning formally opened the
celebration of the Tooth anniversary of
Commodore Perry's victory on Lake Erie
and the commemoration of century
of peace between Great Britain and the
United States.
"Peace Sunday" was the name given
to the occasion BY w. Pitt Clifford,
chairman of the Perry centennial com
mission, and throughout the day there
was no deviation from the title. Special
services were held in all the churches in
the morning, and great tirong filed
Perry square in the afternoon, when
churchmen of all denominations gath
cred in mass meeting. Rev. DIR. Rodgers
Israel. president of the Protestant Epis-
copal diocese at Erie, delivered the in
vocation, State Senator Henry A. Clark
and Charles Il. English of Erie made
the principal addresses, and Rev. John
Z. Fitzmaurice, bishop of the Roman
Catholic diocese of Erie, pronounced the
benediction.
Workmen toiled Saturday night and
early Sunday morning to complete the
decorations. and at dusk last night the
electricity was switched on in the court
of honor and sent through the miles of
electric wires stretched in the principal
streets of the city.
Down in the harbor, moored to a dock
not far from the point from which she
sailed at the head of Commodore Perry's
little fleet century ago to find the
British ships in the western waters of
Lake Erie, lies the Niagara. Thousands
of visitors boarded her and were shown
the details of the old fighting vessel
Each heard the story of how, years
after Perry had swept the British from
the Great Lakes. the Niagara had sunk
in Misery bay. near Erie, and how she
had been raised recently and reproduced
from the original drawings of the ship
builder. Enough of the old vessel re-
manned to allow the committee to have
her rebuilt, and cannon, cast after the
drawings of the guns made for Perry,
are mounted on the deck
Near by in the harbor, the revenue
cutter Morrill, and the naval training
ship Essex rode at anchor, keeping watch
over the charge they will escort on a
round of celebrations to be held at the !
ports of the Great Lakes dur
ing the summer and early autumn The !
Erie celebration will continue through |
out the week, and already thousands of
persons have arrived from all parts of |

TWO SWAN ASHORE
AND FOUR DROWNED
When Their Sailboat Was Wrecked on
Lake Ontario Yesterday-Steam-
er Passed Near the Men

Rochester. n. Y, July 1.-Two Roches-
ter men who swan to shore from the
wreckage of a saiboat on Lake Ontario
near Wolcott yesterday afternoon told
of the drowning of four companions,
all residents of this city, after ten
hour fight against death. The dead are:
Frank Salzer, vice president and super
intendent of shoe company; Edward
keeler, painter; Alexander I. Lennon,
fnisher; and Frank A. Mccullough, cut
ter.
The survivors. Peter A. Blattner and
Cornelius Coughlin, say the six left So
dus point for a cruise to Oswego. They
spent Thursday evening and part of July
4 in Oswego and started to return Fri
day night. They were held in calm
most of Saturday near Fairhaven.
At about 3 o'clock Sunday morning a
hurricane struck the yacht, a thirty
footer, and broke the mast. Despite
their efforts, the boat capsized. The
men attempted to right it but discovered
they could only hang on and wait for
dawn. Later a steamer passed near
them and they yelled for help, but We're
unheard. The steamer went on and the
six men drifted slowly shoreward.
When they were about four miles
from shore Mccullough said to have
been an expert swimmer, swung from
the boat to swim in and seek help. There
is slight possibility that he reached
shore, but the survivors are positive that
they saw him sink.
Hours of agony for the five men left
followed Suddenly they felt shock

of which We're large enough to support
them. The impact Knocked Lennon and
Salzer into the water and they sank.
Half mile from shore the wreckage
went upon rocks, Keele, who was caught
beneath large piece of timber, went
down. Coughln and Blattner reached
shore and applied at farmhouse for
help. The body of KeeIe was recovered.

VETERANS BACK, HAPPY.
Returned From Gettysburg Enthusiastic
Over Treatment.

Barre veterans of X. B. Crandall post.
No. Sc, Grand Army of the Republic,
who have been attending the reunion
at Gettysburg, arrived in the city early
this morning on a special train which
met the Vermont special at Montpelier
Junction. On the train were several
veterans from Washington, Barre Town,
Williamstown and nearby towns, who
entrained at this point when the Vermont
delegation left for Gettysburg June 2s.
All of the Barre soldiers returned with
the exception of Capt. A. f. Dodge, who
will visit in Norristown, Pa. for a few
weeks, and George |. Beckley. who went
to Washington, d. c., for a short stay.
The BOYS in blue from this section
were none the worse for their weeks
stav on the old battlefield and all are
disposed to compliment the government
on the excellent manner in which the
vast army of some 10000 war veterans
was handled on the field The weather
was extremely hot, they say, but every
possible precautiOn was taken to reduce
the number of heat prostrations. They
regard the anniversary observance of the
battle as something to be remembered.
There were only eight deaths during the
week and most every man on the sick
list was able to depart with the com
rades when camp was broken Saturday.
Among the veterans from this section
who were in Gettysburg were Edward
German, Charles Lepage, Raymond p.
Lord Alfred S. Parkhurst, Charles 6.
Narnev, John w Averill, f. /. Smith,

SIX WERE INJURED
AS AUTOS COLLIDED
TaMcab Turned Over in Burlington
Street When 1t Was Struck by
Heavier Touring Car.

Burlington, July As seven year
old Blanche Lafond, in what is thought
to be dying condition, was being rush
ed to the Mary Fletcher hospital last
evening in taxicab, the automobile
crashed into heavier machine, driven
by George H. Horton, and six people
were more or less seriously injured.
The taxcab turned turtle and was
smashed into junk but the other ma
chine was not badly broken up with the
exception of a running board and two
mudguards.
| The iniured:
| Charles Shepard, chauffeur, injuries to
hip and back; possibly serious internal
| injuries.
| Blanche Lafond, seven years old, ex-
tent of injuries tmknown. At Mary
Fletcher hospital with tetonus.
Peter Laford, 10 Ward street, cuts
and bruises
Mrs. Peter LafoN, cuts and bruises
Arthur Smith, bruises and shock.
Aunt Of Blanche Lafond, cuts and
bruises.
The taxicab was from the Palace gar
age and had gone to 10 Ward street on
an emergency call. The little girl, ac-
Icompanied by her mother and father and
an aunt, was taken in and the chauffeur
was told to put on all possible speed, in
the hope that timely treatment at the
hospital might stay the progress of tet
anusf from which she was suffering, and
save the child's life.
Charles Shepard, the chauffeur. ac-
cordingly speeded the car up and was
making fast time up North street when
he saw Horizons car at the North Will
other in time to stop and the taxicab
went into the side of Morton's auto
mobile. The taxicab was thrown over
and Shepard was buried under the
wreckage. Arthur Smith, who was in
Horizons car, was thrown a considerable
distance and rendered unconscious. Hor
ton was apparently uniniured but all Of
the Others were cut and bruised.
Probably Shepard is the most
seriously hurt, as he was in the front
Of the machine, which is completely de-
molished. He complained Of his hip and
back last night and it il thought there
may be internal injuries of serious ma
ture. The little girl was in such dszed
condition that il is not known whether
or not she realized what happened Both
Mr.. and Mrs. Peter Lafond, her parents.
We're cut about the face and hands and
otherwise severely bruised. I4afond com
planned last night Of injuries TO his hip.
The other woman in the car was injured
to about the same extent.
DIR. 6. f. Latour happened along about
that time and rushed the little girl TO
the hoSnital Later Mr. and Mrs Ia
fond went there for treatment The
other woman was able to go home as
also was Smith
A week ago yesterday the little girl
was injured at Queen City Park when one
foot was caught by the shaft OF a
motor boat. One ankle was bad |
ly bruised but the injury was not con-
sidered dangerous at that time. Since |
then it has been under treatment. and |
only short time ago tetanus developed. |

HEAT CURTAILED PICNIC.
Nevertheless Over 300 People Enjoyed
Woodmen's Annual Affair.

/ 1t was children's day at Dewey park
Saturday afternoon, when more than
300 young people gathered there for the
annual picnic OF Granite City camp, No,
SfS6, Modern Woodmen of America The
crowd of pienickers wasn't composed en-
! tirely of youngsters, for there were a
good many members OF the lodge pres
ent with their wives, but the days pro-
gram was arranged first of all for the
entertainment of the children.
| Owing to the extreme heat, it was
thought best to postpone the athletic
events that usually form conspicuous
part of the days doings. Consequently
the races, jumping events, etc, that al
ways occupy the early hours of the day
at Dewey park were deferred until late
afternoon and then at the last moment
again postponed ON account Of rain. It
il not unlikely that the part Of the
program omitted will be carried out be-
fore the summer is over.
The only contest of the afternoon was
the annual baseball game between the
married and single men. James Walker
captained the bachelors, while Edward
Anderson led the benedicts. Hot wealth
er did not interfere with the contest
until the seventh inning, when all hands
bade the diamond farewell and starte6
for the welcome shelter of a neaEt
grove. In the points for the 81. I.
mems outfit were Edmund Lorange
James Walker, with Pierson anS
Loranger opposing That the ID

men does not reflect any disc d the

yalor for the flag.
From o'clock until the hour of de-
parting at &, Riley's orchestra furnished
music for dancing in the park pavilion.
The floor was always crowded with mer-
rymakers and for the reason that por-
ton of the days observance had to be
cancelled on account of the sun, it may
be said that the dance was the most sat
isfying feature of this years picnic.
Throughout the afternoon, warm wealth
er refreshments were served in the shape
of ice cream. sodas lemonade and every
conceivable variety of soft drinks. There
was an abundance OF fruit and candy
and peanuts for the youngsters.
The committee in charge of the affair
made every effort to give the crowd a
good time and almost anyone who went
was ready at the close to declare that
il had succeeded. The committee consist
ed Of John Rowley. Edward Anderson,
John Mckenzie, A. J. Loranger and James
Walker
The only unfortunate incident of the
day came at the close of the picnic after
a large part of the crowd had left for
home John II Mckenzie who had re-
maned with others to put the park in
order, was on his way home with a
team when the horse suddenly lifted its
feet over the dash board, one of the
hoofs striking the driver in the leg. Mr..
Mckenzie managed to jump to the
ground and the horse was soon quieted,
but later examination of the mans
leg revealed fracture just above the
ankle. He was taken to his home. where
/ physician was called Yesterday, Mr..
Mckenzie was resting comfortably, al
though the doctor had told him that sew
eral weeks would eIapse before he could !
use the injured member again.
