PHARr ON THE STAND IN FIGHT FOR HER LIFE FORTY YEARS AGO GETTYSBURG WAS FIELD OF BATTLE Yesterday the First Day's Fight Was Recalled by Peaceful Songs and Speeches -Jf Some Sensational and Startling Stunts of the Strenuous Strong Men. HALF YARD OF RIBBON HER TRAVELING CARD VOL 149, NO 2 WOLF SYNDICATE RENEWS CLAIM FORACHARTER "Broad Street Railway" Application Is Once More Presented at State Dept. Messrs, Widener and Mack Profess Not to Be But They Keep the Lawyers Busy Representatives of the Wolf syndicate yesterday renewed their application at Harrisburg for a charter for the Broad Street Railway originally turned down by-Governor Pennypacker becaues of imperfections. Until the fate of the request is settled the full details of the claims of the men who are seeking to break in on the street railway situation here will not ie public property. Meanwhile, Messrs.

Widener and Mack express themselves as not worrying over the threatened rivalry. While the peace fmind of the railway magnates is undisturbed, it is admitted that E. O. Mich-lener, Shapley and Ballard and John G. Johnson, their formidable array of legal protectors, are keeping a watchful eye on matters both at Harrisburg and here.

George Widener, who is acting president of the Rapid Transit system in the absence of Mr. Parsons, when asked how they regarded the latest attack, said: "I only, know what I read in the papers and really I haven't had time to-day to fread them thoroughly. The Rapid Transit Company has all the charters and franchises it desires at premit." Mack Xot Alarmed John M. Mack professed equal ignorance of the plans of the attacking party. "I must confess," he said, "that I am At a loss to know what they are driving Bt.

We have not only a charter for Broad Btreet. but the requisite permission of Councils to build a road. We are ready to begin work as soon as the suit with the Thirteenth and Fifteenth streets line is settled. I do not see where we have any reason to fear the new seekers for fran-; chises." A director of the Rapid Transit Company, who was willing to talk with more freedom, said: "Suppose, as it is hinted, there are flaws in the Broad street charter. They could doubtless be speedily corrected.

The Rapid Transit Company seems to me to be too firmly intrenched to be at all alarmed at anything Mr. Wolf or his associates might do. Even if the newcomers do by any hook or crook get a charter that gives them the right to build, it is improbable under existing conditions that they could get the consent of Councils? Among those who recalled the fact that Clarence Wolf and John M. Mack were associated in securing the original Rapid Transit elevated and subway franchises, and that the plans were prepared in. Wolf Brothers office, the apparent break between Messrs.

Wolf and Mack Was the subject of much Speculation was rife as to what had caused the rupture. A man who enjoys the confidence of John M. Mack said that Mack was as much in the dark as any one, as he could not recall any recent occurrence that should fill the heart of the broker with a desire to get even. Mr. Wolf, on the other hand; denied any animus, and said he was merely going into a business proposition as a business man.

It was reported yesterday that the Philadelphia and Western Railroad, which is to stare at Sixty-second and Market streets and parallel the Penn- Couiiuuetl on 4tU Page-7th Col. j(i ONE CENT VIOLA. J.E.EAU IOWA REPUBLICANS ADOPT ALLISON'S TARIFF PLANK It Declares Strongly for Protection, But Favors Any Necessary Changes in Rates Cummins Was Renominated for Governor and the Utmost Harmony Prevailed President Indorsed DES MOINES, July 1. The utmost harmony prevailed in the Republican State convention, which convened here to-day with more than 1000 delegates present. But two propositions were before the convention the platform, and the nomination of a candidate for Superintendent of Public Instruction.

The former was practically agreed upon in advance, owing to an understanding entered into some time ago "that Senator Allison. shoul4 prepare the planks pertaining to the tariff and the trusts. A full State ticket was nominated, with A. B. Cummins, of Polk, for Governor; John Herriott, of Adair, for Lieutenant Governor; Charlea A.

J3ishop, of Polk, for Judge of rthe Supreme Court, and D. J. Palmer, of Washington, for Railroad Commissioner, all of whom are at present 'serving their first terms. All interest was centred around the Committee on Resolutions: and the holding of district, caucuses, each one of which, was entitled to a member upon the committee. In the caucuses, held at 10 o'clock, the "stand-patters" won by a majority of three in the eleven district meetings held for the selection of the members of the Committee on Resolutions.

The Tariff Plank Senator Allison's tariff and trust plank, which was adopted by the convention without a dissending voice, is as follows: "We reiterate our faith in the historio principle of protection. Under its influence our country, foremost in the boun-, ties of become foremost in It has enabled the laborer to successfully insist upon good wages and has induced capital to engage in production with a reasonable hope of a fair reward. Its vindication is found in the history of its success and the rapidity with which our national resources have been developed and our industrial independence secured, and we heartily renew our pledge to maintain it. "Tariff rates enacted to carry this policy into effect should be just, fair and impartial, equally opposed to foreign control and domestic" monopoly, to sectional discrimination and individual favoritism, and must from time to time be changed to meet the varying conditions incident to the progress of our industries and their changing relations in our foreign and domestic commerce. Duties that are too low should be increased, and duties that are too high should, be reduced.

Recfprooitj and Cnba "We indorse the policy of reciprocity as the natural complement of protection. Reciprocity between nations is trade for mutual advantage, and both sides must give and take. Protection builds up domestic industry and trade and secures our om markets for ourselves; reciprocity builds up foreign trade and finds an outlet for our surplus.

Garfield Taylor spent another uncomfortable half hour on the witness stand at the opening of court this morning under the merciless cross-examination of Mr. Budd, who experienced no difficulty in once more making the young man contradict himself. The only other witness of unusual importance during, the day was James L. Jamison, justice of the peace of Burlington county. He detailed the statement made to him by Mrs.

Phares at the jail here after her arrest. The largest crowd that has so far. attended the trial cpllected in front of the Court House long before the doors were thrown open. It had been rumored that Mrs. Phares.

would take the stand to-dav. and the court room was filled during both the morning and afternoon sessions. There were many women present, and they followed every movement and word of Mrs. Phares with intense interest. Mrs.

Phares Helps Counsel Mrs. Phares1 was attired' in'- the same black dres9 that she has worn since the tria opened, and her face was partly concealed by the same black veil that haa served so well to protect her from prying eyes. She continued, before taking the stard, to prompt her counsel at frequent intervals and often had recourse to the little, black diary that rarely leaves her hand. The trial has so far been a speedy one, both prosecution and defense co-operating with Judge Garrison in avoiding any useless testimony. It is probable that a ver- 'on tinned on 4th Pagfe 1st Col.

DILL TELLS LAWYERS OF COMMERCIALISM Says. Business Injected Into Legal Ettiics Replaces Theorists With Practical Attorneys Special to The Inquirer. CAMBRIDGE SPRINGS, July 1. The Pennsylvania Bar Association closed a successful with a banquet to-night. Several interesting papers were read, at the morning session and officers were elected in the afternoon.

Ex-Judge Nathaniel Ewing was unan-mously elected president of the association for the ensuing year. Dimner Beeber, of Philadelphia, introduced a resolution abolishing the judicial oath, which was referred to the Law Reform Committee. Judge Harry White's bill, giving a widow the same interest in a husband's estate as the husband has in deceased wife's was referred to the Law Reform Committee. The banquet was held to-night, and fully 400 jrersons attended. James B.

Dill, of York, responded to the toast "Commercialism and the Law." Commercialism, in the highest sense, he welcomed in the profession, rather than deprecated. He said the introduction of business among legal theories and legal ethics tending to replace the legal theorist of yesterday with the practical lawyer of to-day.

who is on trial here charged with the murder of her husband, Albert A. Phares, took the stand afternoon on her own behalf. In a matter of fact, even tone of voice, that penetrated to. -'every part of the crowded court room, the accused woman told of her relations with Garfield of her visit with him to the house" of his' aunt at Camden, and of the illness of her'i husband during the days preceding that; on which he died. She was still on the stand when court adjourned until to-morrow morning, when, according to her counsel, Eckard P.

Budd, she will tell of the purchase of strychnine and the other events of the day on which her husband passed away which led up to' her arrest on the charge of having poisoned him. Burfdl's Masterly Opening Attorney Budd opened the 'defense shortly after 2 o'clock with a masterly address, which kept the attention of the jury and, in fact, of every one in the court room riveted upon him all the time he was speaking. Mr, Budd declared that the defense would show that Mrs. Phares had purchased strychnine on March 9 last, when Mr. Phares died, in obedience to hep husband's explicit orders, it being his intention to use the poison to kill the rats that had infested the house.

He said that the defense would also show that Mrs. Phares did not give poison to her husband and, that while it would not allege that Mr. Phares had committed suicide, it would COLOMBIA SENATE HAS CANAL PAPERS Diplomatic Correspondence Regarding the Waterway Read in Secret Session by Foreign Minister Special Cflble to The Inquirer.

Statue of "Old John Burns," Who Fought So' Well, Unveiled While Blue and Gray Looked On Special to The Inauirer. GETTYSBURG, Pa July 1. The fortieth 'anniversary of the battle of took place July 1, 2 and 3, celebrated here to-day and will continue to-morrow and Friday.

More than 500 G. R. posts in Pennsylvania and neighboring States are expected to participate, with many regiments of the State Guard and details of the regular army. The decorations of the town are elaborate and tasteful. The most striking feature is the four-cornered arch of welcome, decorated with the corps badges of the Union army and with pictures of Generals Meade and Lee, which stands in the centre of the.

town on ground over which the Southern 'troops drove the Union army on. the afternoon of July 1, 1SG3. In Memory of Old John Darns The exercises of to-day's celebration were held on the first day's battlefield and this afternon the imposing bronze statue erected by the State of Pennsylvania in honor of "Old John Burns," the hero of Gettysburg, was unveiled and dedicated. The dedicatory exercises, whiwli were presided over by General J. P.

Taylor, president of the Pennsylvania Monument Commission, began with a parade of the veterans from Gettysburg to the monument, which is located on the spot where Burns was first wounded. On reaching the monument Rev. Dr. J. A.

Singmaster. of the Lutheran Theological Seminary, of Gettysburg, delivered a prayer, and "Miss Virginia Neal, daughter of Dr. J. W. C.

O'Neal, of Gettysburg, unveiled the statue. The Governor's Speeeh After the unveiling Governor Penny-packer made a brief address, in which he said: We have come together upon one of the battlefields of the most momentous In ita consequences of all the American wars. We meet upon the field where the issues of that war were determined and with them the fate of a great Nation, and it may be the future, of the peoples of the world for the ages yet to come. It is a field made famous by the sword of George G. Meade and consecrated by the words of the modern Psalmist, Abraham Lincoln.

Throughout the centuries yet to be Americans will come to Gettysburg to. gather inspiration for the struggles of life as the Greek went to Marathon, as the Briton goes to Waterloo, as the followers of the prophet turned Meofa. I rfC'W tn anniversary of that tremendous contest, snrrounded on all sides by the memorials erected by a grateful people, with, all things to suggest the more than forty thousand men who were here stricken, we have come to dedicate a monument to a man. who held no rank, who wore ro uniform, and who belongedto no army. It is a most impressive occasion.

It is an event of no ordinary Kignifloance. It means that the State rests jupon the citizen and his character. This quiet Pennsylvania town, typical in Its repose, as wsil as in its strength, and in its everlasting fame of the great Commonwealth wherein it was fostered, had sent forth its. young men to do battle In the cause of their country, and they were carrying thMr muskets in the Army of the Potomac. When invasion was threatened and the storms cf war began to roll near, it contributed a company to a regiment which, bv a strange fatality, was sent here and was the first force to encounter on this ground the army of Lee.

WESTCHESTER WON THE POLO CHAMPIONSHIP Bryn Mawr Team Defeated in Final Game for the National Honors Brilliant Contest at Bala Is. Watched by 10,000 Persons, Who Endure Heat to Witness Struggle The Westchester Country Club's team yesterday won the national polo championship by defeating the Bryn Mawr team at Bala. The final score was 9 goals to 6. It was one of the finest championship games of polo ever played. The "work of the teams was magnificent and the crowd of 10,000 or more cheered and cheered despite the heat.

While Westchester can lay claim to the championship by every right, for they excelled the Bryn Mawr boys, yet the game can be looked upon as practically a victory for the local four. Under the existing haindicaps Bryn Mawr has advantage of ten goals over Westchester, but yesterday the teams played without the handicaps and consequently the visitors won, but only by displaying all their cleverness. For the first and second periods Bryn Mawr held the Westchester four well in hand and was only x4 goal behind at the close of the second period. The third period told the tale for Bryn Mawr. All the men had been playing like fiends and they could not keep up the pace.

It was then that Westchester outstripped them and took a commanding lead. Just before the close of play in that pe riod Rosengarten was given a shaking up in a collision with Lawrence Waterbury. Rosengarten was unhorsed. The period was ended and the eight seconds time was added on to the last period. It after the work in the third quarter that the players showed the greatest distress.

On one side of the field the visitors lay stretched out and on the other side the Bryn Mawrs. Fans and ice were brought into play to revive the drooping men. Fifteen minutes' rest was taken altogether. The players well deserved it, for they gave a mighty fine show of how the game and its fine points should be played. In the fourth period Bryn Mawr held her own with the crack players of New York; each team scored two goals.

There were several incidents in the game which to the spectators added zest to the contest, but were hardly appreciated in that light by the men. Rosengarten got into a mix-up in the first period and went down, for which Lawrence Waterbury was penalized a half goal. Rosengarten's pony broke away, running with the bridle reins danlinsr between his feet. The' animal seemed badly frightened, for he ran recklessly along the track and took a hard fall. He was unable to arise, having dislocated his off shoulder.

In the second period there was a bumping match between Randolph Snowden and Laurence Waterbury- Waterbury went down with his pony, but got up little the worse for the fall. F. S. Conover started the game, umpiring in place of Captain John C. Groome.

In the second period Captain Groome appeared and relieved Mr. Con-over. The game began with both teams keyec? rieht up to the notch. There was a magnificent 'display of team work all around. After playing for three minutes and forty-five seconds without result there was' a change of ponies.

Beginning the battle anew there were several brilliant dashes up and down the field. Charles Wheeler played a remarkable game at back, saving many goals by dexterous work. After both teams had assaulted the other's goal several times, Snowden got away with the ball. He carried it up the field and then Kendrick following him placed the ball for his partner to score. Westchester was right after them.

Little Miss From Omaha and Uncle' She Had Never Seen Joined by the Pink Strands Passengers on the Chicago which pulled into Broad Street Station shortly after noon yesterday were greatly interested in the fortunes of a demure little maid of 11 years, who carried a lunch upon the handle of. which was tied a piece of pink ribbon. Upon, alighting from the train she gazed wiih a look of anxiety into the crowd without the gates waiting to receive their friends, and seemed to take great trouble to hold the basket with its ribbon adornment in a conspicuous place.

At the same time, on the outskirts of the crowd, was a middle-aged man, who was watching the passengers with an equally anxious look, and who was continually glancing at a piece of pink ribbon he held in his hand, as tnough to impress himself with its particular shade. Finally the eyes of the two searchers met, or at least became fastened upon the ribbons. They approached each other, compared the ribbons as to shade and length and then the man clasped the child in his arms and pressed a kiss upon her cheeks. Then one of the passengers remarked: "Well, I'm glad she found him." Here is the story. The litle girl is Lizzie Nightingale, of Omaha, the daughter of William H.

Nightingale, whose father left Phillipsburg, for the great West twenty-two years ago. Ferdinand Lenoir, of 2H3 Madison avenue. Atlantic City, the man who welcomed her, is her whom this -brave little miss traveled half across the continent to visit. When Lizzie's parents in Omaha arranged for the trip, they were troubled! as to how she should be known to Mr. Lenoir, who had never seen her.

So then they hit upon the ingenious plan of the 45-STORY BUILDING Enormous Campanile C50 Feet High May 13e Heared i "ew York From The Inquirer Bureau. NEW YORK, July 1. Rising 650 feet above the curb line and containing forty-five stories, an enormous campanile to be devoted to office use, is the most striking feature of the set of drawings presented to the Board of Estimate and Apor-tionment. to-day by Bridge Commissioner Lindenthal for the proposed group of new municipal buildings to be erected on the Chambers street front of the City Hall Park and on the site of the present bridge terminal. The tower as designed stands in Centre street, opposite the present hall of records, on the site of the Statts-Zeituns.

From. the base to the line of the thirty-fifth story it rises as a straight granite shaft 120 feet square. rrom tnis point, wnicn is relieved bv tour turrets at the corners, it extends upward in the form of a pyramid roof. lhere seems to be little doubt that the plans will be adopted as submitted and no time will be lost in undertaking the work.

JAPANESE WANT WAR lea dins: Papers I'rjere Government to Kig)it Rnssia VICTORIA, B.

July 1. An ominous tone pervades the Japanese press regarding Russia, according to Oriental advices just arrived by steamer. A review of the" leading papers indicates a common resentment at the Russian attitude, which seems to be of a deeper and more ominous character than ever before. The Japanese Gazette says that the patience of the press is exhausted and another paper" tells of a petition having been presented to the. Japanese Cabinet, stating reasons why it is advisable that' Japan should go towar with Russia.

The petition, it is said, is signed by many nobles and a large number of prominent persons. The Nirouku prints a significant article, in which it says: "We know that Russia is persuading the United States to turn her back on the Anglo-Japanese alliance. We know also that it is almost certain that England will not draw her sword in 'order to settle the Eastern question. Whatever disadvantages Japan may encounter, she and she alone will be compelled to push it to the last argument." The article continues at length in advocacy of war with Russia.
