Few moments in the long and hon
orable communal history OF Cape MAJ
have been fraufht with such eclat o.
those In which occurred the grand
Fourth Of July parade yesterday.
It is with sorrow that the citizens oi
Cape May face insidious whispers that
the parade met itself coming back tina,
the fire engine was lost In the shuff!s
and was found later In the Red Mil,
and that the Silver Cornet Band
marched due west as far a. the light
house. while the rest OF the column
pursued an easterly course.
Unpleasant aftermaths, Smanating
from minds poisoned with envy, are to
be expected In the wake Of any un.
dcrtaking on q scale such as this. 1t Ia
realized. At the same time the honor Of
Cape May requires some explanation Of
these rumors.
No one will dispute that the parade
at its inception was all that any critic
could desire. There was spirited music
BY two bands. to whose bright cadences
three companies Of veterans swung along
In their khaki. Following them came q
large automobile with few Of the
boys Of 81. And after them came the
fruit and bloom Of Cape Mays civic
consciousness. comprising fosts con
ccived and executed by various ladies'
auxiliaries, fraternal organizations and
religious denominations, together with
the complete equipment Of the fre and
street cleaning departments.
After some time spent in threading
the streets In the central section Of the
city. the column deployed upon the
broad avenue which skirts the board
walk. At this point began that unfor.
tunate chain Of circumstances which
has been seized upon by some to form
the basis Of mountain Of unmitigated
ralumny.
The avenue narrowed to half its width

The Rev. Riley Jefferson, a Negro,
of, 1910 Sears street. was awakened al
1 o'clock yesterday morning by a noise
under HIS window and, poking his head
out. saw neighbors quarreling. He
found the racket bad. the profanity
worse. Exercising his pastoral prerog-
ative he warned the noise makers to
cease and went back to bed.
Five minutes later the cries arose
once more. this time in increased
volume, and the preacher became
thoroughly incensed. Seizing the near
est weapon, a razor. he FASTENED to
the street and slashed about like a
warrior.
As a result. Edward Matthews, of

ON VALUATION FIGURES

Plans by which permanent fare fol
lines of the Philadelphia Rapid Transit
Company may be determined by Jan.

lie Service Commissioner Clement. He
urged more speed by the city and the
company In reaching n conclusion OF
! the controversy over T.. II. T. Com
pany's valuation, and declared 1t was
only fair to the people that the fare
question be settled more expcditiously.
The company recently placed the val
untion Of It's property and business at
500. 900 900. This claim was not rec
ognized by the city, which cut the fig.
ures by more than 800. 900, 900. In
contesting the company's claim. the city
gave reasons which covered 022 pages.
Today was named by the commissioner
as the date for cross examination Of the
city's figures by the company.
Coleman j. Joyce, counsel for the
=. n. T. Company, said It would re-
quire three months more to investigate
the city's figures before he could pro.
ceed with the ss-examination.
Mr.. Clement said while he desires
to show the company every considcra,-
tion, he also must consider the car
riders. He reminded Mr.. Joyce that
the present seven. cent fare was but
and that ''the people paid
IL with virtually no complaint"
Three months is too long time to
take to answer the city's case" said
the Commissioner. The p. II. T. Com.
pany has had more than two years to

Assistant City Solicitor Rosenbaum,
representing the city. said he would be
willing to give the p. r. T. NIL the
time possible and thought September 1
would be reasonable.
The case must be closed by Octo.
