NC-3 HERO'S FAMILY
HERE OVERJOYED
my Son Never Gives Up; He'll
Reach England" Says Com
mander's Mother

Joy came again to the Philadelphia
home of the mother and sister of Lieu.
tenant Commander Holden Chester
Richardson, n member of the crew of
the Mob, with the news that the navy
flying boat is safe in the Azores.
The Lieutenant Commanders mother,
Mrs. Elmira Richardson. and his sister
Miss Florence \. Richardson, who live
at I03 South Fifty sixth street, were
ovcrjoycd to hear of the safe arrival
of the seaplauc. They had spent anxious
hours during the time that the plane
missing.
This is the second time in the his
tory of the Philadelphia home that the
occupants suffered intensely over the
welfare of their son and brother. In
1898. and curiously enough off the
Azores. the lieutenant commander. at
that time still midshipman, was lost
for nearly two weeks in the sailing
vessel MonOngaheu. The white haired
mother and her daughter spent NcSter
day and today in fevered suspense, send
ing wires to Washington for latest in .
formation, and words of hope and en-
couragcment to the aviator's wife and
daughters, who were keeping vigil at
Rockaway Beach, their home.
My son never gives up" said Mrs.
Richardson proudly. Hell reach Eng
land if he has half a chance
Commander Richardson was born in
Shamokin. December Z. 1878. He is
II graduate of Annapolis. He received
his first experience in aeronautics at
the Philadelphia Navy Yard in 1910.
At that time he was naval constructor
there. AS hobby. while stationed at
the yard. the lieutenant commander
built a glider in the loft Of the hull
division building. After some trouble
the glider took the air, but in the ex
citCment of the moment. and due largely
TO the incxpcricncc of his assistants. the
glider was crushed against the side of
the building.

MOUSE ON BALLOON THRILLS
Trips Down Chestnut Street, Failing
to Scare Even Women

For the first time in the history of
this old world mouse was let loose
among women, and they screamed not.
neither did they seek elevated places
and display assorted varieties of hos
icry.
The mouse was sent abroad on Chest
nut street in front of the Federal Build
ing with a toy balloon tied to its tail.
Business men, gray haired. with a
pile of letters lying on their desks,
young men with dinner hours Fastening
by, old women with days shopping TO
do. and young women. watched that
little mouse which couldn't scurry as
mice are wont to do because of the
weight on its tail.
For the first time in their lives wo
men had an opportunity to observe
closely the behavior of mice-and they
observed closely. but with a little fut
ter of nerves, because they never were
certain the balloon would hold"
The mouse is probably still furnish
ing diversion to pedestrians on Chest
nut street-Pven now.

OLD 2D' REGIMENT
WILL NOT PARADE.
COLONEL DECIDES
Welcome Committee Interviews
Lecocq, Who Says Dsmobili-
zation Would Be DELAYED

There will be no parade of the 1OSth
Field Artillery.
The welcome home committee, COM
prising J. Jardcn Guenther, executive
chairman; Isaac d. Hetzell, chairman
of the reception committee, and John
Degan, member of Councils, conferred
with Colonel Frank Lecocq, commander
of the 10Sth Field Artillery, at Camp
Dix today.
Colonel Lecocq said that the parade
could not be held in Philadelphia for
the following reasons:
First. Most of the officers of the
10Sth are not in America. The trans
port Peerless brought over only one
officer to every battery. The other Off
GERS of the regiment are returning on
the Lcviathan, due to arrive some time
between Thursday and Saturday.
Second. According to the camp sche-
dule the rehabilitation Of the 1OSth
will begin on Thursday morning. The
plans for rehabilitation have already
been completed. If the men were held
for the parade, they would auto
matically be placed last on the list of
outfits at Dix scheduled for domobili- :
zation. This Encouragement of plans
would keep the 10Sth in camp at least
one week more than is necessary.

PORT HERE SL|GHTED,
. COMPLAINT TO HINES
Chamber of Commerce Asks Di-
rector General to Increase
Philadelphia Sailings
CLYDE LINE LOSS CITED

Iaking their protest against alleged
discrimination toward the port of Phil
adelphio directly to the highest au-
thority the Philadelphia Chamber of
commerce has sent letter to Walker
ID. Hines, director general. United
states railroad administration. in which
1t points out specific instances about
which 1t complains.
In closing the letter attention is di-
rccted to the announcement being
mailed to shippers in Philadelphia in
the name of the United States railroad
administration and signed by r. X.
Richardson, assistant to the federal
manager, in which are advertised semi
weekly sailings between Boston and
Savannah and between New York and
Savannah for both freight and passen-
ger business via the Savannah line. The
letter then asks:
why should not the administration
also announce sailings from Philadcl
phia?'
The letter calls attention, first. to the
fact that the railroad administration is
operating water transportation lines
owned by the railroads and has turned
uo'h W DIlNdtt ownership Oth'I Nutti
transportation lines which find it impos
sible, because of the government guaran-
tee of earnings to the lines over. which
it retains control, to operate and meet
the overhead costs. Attention is drawn
to the fact that none of the water trans
rortation lines now operating under ad-
ministration control move from the port
of Philadelphia.
The second discrimination complained
of is the new scale of dfferentials which
permit interior points in New England
to benefit in shipments to central freight
territory, but deny interior points trib-
utary to the port of Philadelphia to
gain by their application.
The third protest is based on the fact
that these rate adjustments proposed
were made without giving shippers an
opportunity to protest before the cen
tral. territorial or district freight rate
committees, which were created for just
such purpose.
In criticizing the action of the ad
ministration on the first point against
which complaint is made the letter men
tions specifically the forced abandon
ment of the Clyde Line service between
Philadelphia and Norfolk
