IDEA OF PARADE
BORN At Dinner
Newspaper Men Discuss Plans,
Which Are Adopted by
Business Men of CITY.

who started this preparedness pa
rade. anyway"
This question is passing through
the minds of hundreds of residents
of the District this morning as they
wend their way down town to view
the spectacle to which all Washing
ton has been looking forward for two
weeks.
1t would probably require a rigid
investigation to determine in what
mind the germ of the idea was born,
for the parade was first mentioned
during an after-dinner discussion OF
newspapermen. Little did they dream
that the idea mentioned at that dis
cussion would grow into one OF the
biggest celebrations in the city's his
tory.
The idea was passed on to some
OF the leading merchants OF the city,
who took it up in earnest and held
an informal meeting in the Star Build
ing on the afternoon of Friday. June
?. A plan of procedure was hastily
mapped out and william F. GUIDE
elected chairman of the executive COM
mittee. with Charles J. Columbus as
secretary.
Plan Develops Fast.
In the two weeks at their disposal, how
ever, tnlS GuCe-COlumDuS OmDlnatlOn
went far beyond the expectations of even
the most optimistic members. On Mon
day June 4. offices were established in
the Star Building, a corps of stenog-
raphers employed, telephone service in
stalled, and Ine movement went forward
with leaps and bounds, until today the
entire city is talking and thinking pre-
paredness.
Others who worked to make the pa
rade a success were A. Leftwich Sin
clair, chairman of the committee on law
and legislation, who waged a fight to
the finish in Congress to secure the
passage OF a resolution making the day
a legal holiday; Isaac Cans, official
censor OF the parade. who arranged the
floats and saw that no advertisements
or undignified demonstrations were en-
tered; O.. ]. De Moll, chairman of the
committee on music. and Mai. Pullman.
chairman of the public order committee.
Other members of the executive COM
n1ittee were Odell S. Smith, Edwin c.
Brandenburg, P. T. Moran, R. P.
Andrews, Edward F. Colladay, Thomas
Grant. Robert n. Harper. C. Fred Cook
and NJ. w. Lynch.

FATALLY STRICKEN
 WHILE IN BATHING
James Welch of This City Pulled From Water In Springfield But
 Fails to Rally.

James Welch forty years old and a we'll known brick layer in this city, died suddenly in Springfield late yes terday afternoon of acute heart dis ease brought on by the shock of go- ing in bathing while in an overloaded condition. The body was brought to this city this afternoon and the funeral will be held from St. Marys church at 10 o'clock Moday morning. Inter- ment will be in the new Catholic cem- etery.
 Mr. Welch is survived by his mother, Mrs. Susan Welch, and one sister, Mrs Mary Mcdonald of 450 Main street, to whose home the remains were brought.
 According to companions who were with MT. Welch when he died, he had gone in bathing after work and sud- denly shouted for help, saying he had been taken with a cramp. His com panions dragged him upon the river bank where he complained of terrific pains in his chest and asked that doctor be called. Although there was a doctor nearby, MT. Welch died be- foge medical aid could reach him.

the line began to give expression by series of small riots. Later various sympathizers banded together in larg- CT groups and it was then that border raiding became the popular sport Of the Mexicans. The rancher who gave me the resume of these border troubles was a heavy loser on one oc- casiOn when several of his horses, a hundred head of cattle, a flock of sheep and several hundred rounds of ammunition were stolen from him. He said, the first troops to be stationed here to protect the townsmen was company of twenty men. A little later the Twelfth United States infantry was sent here, at a time when the trouble became serious Just prior 10 the time that the president called out the state militia the Mexicans had an army of 10,000 men stationed across the border in Sonora Had the United States delayed much longer in sending men to the border the Nogales toWnspeOple and soldiery would cer- tainly have had it's hands full.
