A THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER, WEDNESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 7, 1908 MILITIA KEEPS PERFECT ORDER CITY'S INDUSTRIAL HISTORY WILL SE Soldierly Bearing of City's Men in Uniform Stirs Throngs to Hearty Applause '7 PARADE 'A Guardsmen, Sworn In as Policemen, Patrol Broad Street Panorama of Floats Will Tell Story of Commercial Growth "XI FIRST TIME EVER TRIED BY A CITY MANY FIRMS HAVE LAVISH DISPLAYS SHOWN IN PARADE orr 0 t.s 5J (( IT A 11 This is Industrial Day, the fourth in Founders' Week, but considered by many business men of the city to be the most important of all. The parade today will portray more completely than any other demonstration or anv literature has done, the history and growth of Philadelphia's industrial life and the exhibition will be at once entertaining, instructive and profitable. The program for the day includes the annual meetinz of the National Board fr of Steam Navigation at 10 o'clock this morning at the Bourse. At noon the Darade will start. At 5.

o'clock there will be organ recitals in the principal churches. At 7.30 the City Hall will be again illuminated. At 8 o'clock this evening the labor organizations the city will parade and a festival of music With more than two-thirds of the members of the city's police force marshaled in parade yesterday the officials, with the aid of National Guardsmen, demonstrated how efficiently the city and its people may be protected under any exigency. It was an innovation and an experiment, which proved successful beyond peradventure. A precedent was established which is bound to be followed by the police heads of other large cities.

The service rendered by the eleven hundred Guardsmen who responded to the call to serve the city was exemplary. Sworn in for police duty earlier in the day, the soldiers, constituting the First Brigade, and under command of Brigadier General Wendell P. Bowman, formed a continuous line along the route of the parade on Broad street, from Diamond street to Snyder avenue. It was a spectacle never before witnessed here or else- here under such circumstances, and will be long remembered. The soldiers did everything expected of 1 them, and their work was highly commended by Director Clay at the conclusion of the parade.

The members of Troop mounted, under direct command of Captain Norman MacLeod, took the place of the department's traffic squad, which was in the parade, and the troopers performed their work like trained policemen. They were stationed at the principal intersecting street crossings, where, un- der the guidance of police sergeants, who signaled with whistles, they regulated and facilitated traffic. Captain MacLeod was at Broad and Arch streets, while Ser XT will be opened in the First Presbyterian Church, South Washington Square. 7 -J'ZyTT TVYJL Of? the: OF POLICE Of course, the big feature of the day is the parade this afternoon. In some respect? this pageant will be a unique one, and chief of these is the embargo on footmen.

No organization marching 50 pf 1 afoot will be allowed in line, as the space is to be devoted entirely to floats. Even A10RRELL DUES POLICE HEADS w' ft A v. v.y.v.;.;. -A 1 General Expresses Appreciation of Parade Services by VOLUNTEER FIREMEN 5 ASSOCIATION Entertainment at Home Conveys to Guests Genera! Grant's under these conditions there will be about 5000 persons in the parade. ISO Floats in Line In order not to make the line too long and thus destroy the spectacular effect of the exhibits, the number of floats has been limited to ISO.

Many of these will be among the most elaborate exhibits of their kind ever seen on wheels, and some manufacturing interests have gone to large expense to make a notable showing. The subjects portrayed will have a wide ranse, as can be readily imagined when the' variety of the city's manufacturing and commercial interests is considered. The greatest rivalry exists between not only competitors in the same trade, but between leading manufacturers in different lines to tee who shall make the best impression. In some instances the manufacturers in one line have united to present an especiallv elaborate exhibit. This is the case in the shoe trade, where there will be two large floats, one showing the cobbler's business in the early days of Philadelphia and the other carrying a sphere, tvpical of the globe, with men and women, dressed in the costumes of all nations, grouped about it.

In the foreground will be a party of children, each with a box of shoes under his or her arm.

Guardsmen Sworn 1 11 In consequence of Brigadier General Bowman's orders, the guardsmen gathered at their respective armories, where the cath empowering them with the authority vested in policemen was administered to them by Magistrate Mecleary, while the members of Troop A were sworn in at City Hall by John Dougherty, a notary public, connected with the Bureau of Building Inspection. The Second Infantry under command of Colonel Hamilton D. Turner, and composed of 300 privates twelve corporals and six sergeants patroled Broad street from Diamond to Callowhill street; the Sixth Infantry, under Major Lucien M. Wiler was detailed from Callowhill street to Filbert; the First Infantry commanded by Colonel J.

Lewis Good, from Filbert street to Bainbridge while the Third Infantryunder command of Colonel Wil-liam G. Price looked after the remainder of Broad street to Snyder avenue. During- the parade General Bowman kept in touch with the soldier-police. He was mounted upon a fine charger and had as his aides members of his staff and various regimental officers. While the Guardsmen volunteered their services, hey will be paid for their work, an appropriation of $200O having ben provided for the purpose.

Each of the soldiers will receive $1.50, which is the regular pay for militiamen when on duty. In his order mustering the Guardsmen for police service Brigadier General Bowman sent the following printed letter to each of them: duty is of the utmost importance and concerns the welfare of the public and the municipal authorities. Tt is the first time that thf arose. Then came the four troops of the State Constabulary the famous command of horseback policemen, in their dark green, nickel buttons black leather puttees and helmets. They rode superbly.

and elicited rounds of applause at the manner in which they handled their mounts. They were a nervy-looking body of men and were bronzed and hardened from their constant routine of work. They carried long police batons at the "carry." A touch of the ominous side of their business was seen in the revolver holster which peeped out from the right ride of the skirt of their blouse.

Yours verv truly, "EDWARD At the dinner Director Clay reiterated his words of praise for the police force, which he declared was the most efficient bodv of policemen in the country. Mayor Revburn, Assistant Director Sheehan and Colonel Morrell also made speeches, expressing appreciation of the work of the police.

Assistant Superintendent O'Leary, who was also invited, was prevented from being present by pressure of official duties. The guests included Police Captains William T. Little, Francis Callahan, George W. Thompson, David McCoach and William L. Dungan, the police lieutenants and many of the police surgeons, together with Chief Baxter, of the Fire Department, and ex-Mayor Smith, who was assistant grand marshal of yesterday's parade.

Sixty detectives and twelve automobiles were pressed into service, and the sleuths kept on the move the entire afternoon. This additional protection was devised by Assistant Superintendent O'Leary, who has three hundred out-of-town detectives assisting the local men. In each automobile were four of the visiting detectives and one of the central office sleuths. Not a single robbery was reported during the parade, while the event also passed without a fire, which obviated the necessity of pressing the firemen into service. Director Clay besides praising the Guardsmen for their efficient service, also commended Superintendent Taylor and Assistant Superintendent O'Leary for the excellent regulation that governed the parade.
