of G511 avenue, Oakland, for over 70 years th" head of on4 of Pittsburgh's larpe retail I establishments, walked to his couch and Open to Public With Proper Ceremonies, BIG TIME IN ALLEGHENY, Great Fireworks-Displays Are Given at the Parks Police Regulations Perfect, July the Fourth was celebrated In Pittsburgh, Allegheny and this county in a manner fitting the commemoration of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. To pay tribute to the day. to meet their own pleasures, many thousands ot persons gathered at Schlenley park and the different resorts In and about Pittsburgh. About 100,000 persons wandered In. and out of Schlenley park yesterday morning and afternoon, while twice that number gathered there last night to witness the pyrotechnic display.

It was a day for ererybody. It included the commercial interests, which came to a standstill. It took tn the social affairs, and while a few accepted the day as one for license of almost anything unlawful, the police records will show that the number of arrests was the minimum in comparison with former years. The demonstration of pure American-Ism was not so vociferous as it has been in years past. This Is due to the modern police regulations as a result of strict legislation.

Dynamite explosives gave way to crackers depending on powder for the no'se. The glory of the Fourth In Pittsburgh and hereabouts was the weather. Consequently there assembled at Arsenal park in Lawrenceville the first of the popular gatherings at this pleasure ground. The park was turned over to the city with the proper ceremony. There also assembled at Schlenley and Highland parks in Pittsburgh, Rivervlew and other parks in Allegheny crowds characteristic Of the day.

Picnic for Everybody. Heads of families, with their little ones, loaded down with delicacies wandered to these places and enjoyed the day. They partook of the good things that were coming and came as the result of the philanthropic efforts of the good citizens of Pittsburgh and Allegheny, and after the different pyrotechnic displays last night they returned to their homes glad they are Americans, satisfied that Pittsburgh is a pretty good place after all. While people were swarming to th parks, the downtown streets were not deserted, but there was not the noise of former years. The street car traffic was enormous.

The police regulations were excellent. JR. BRASHEAR'S PARK RTTLES. If they put up signs that read, "Keep Off the Grass, kick them down. The grass ts to romp upon If a big policeman comes along, all get together and kiss him.

Then he w-on't arrest you. I am called Doctor Sun Spots, but if you have an aching toe, I am not the man you want. There are no "spots" on the celebration of this occasion. Arsenal park, the new playground of the Lawrenceville district, leased to the city by the United States Government on terms that practically amount to a gift, was formally dedicated yesterday. In all of the functions that marked the celebration of Independence day in Greater Pittsburgh, none was more significant than this dedication to public use of a new breathing spot.

It is to be, above everything else, a retreat for the children of the Lawrenceville district, one of the most densely populated of the city, and all of the speakers laid particular stress upon this fact in addressing the vast crowd assembled. The dedication early developed, into an ovation for Congressman James Francis Burke, through whose efforts the arsenal grounds were secured by the city for park purposes upon euch advantageous terms. Mr. Burke's interest in the matter, and the gratitude of the people to him were such as to bring about the most cordial and intimate relations relations such as led the populace to call the congressman "Jimmy," even the school children shouting "Hurrah for Jimmy Burke." Loving Cup for Congressman. A pleasant climax to the ovation in honor of the congressman was the presentation to him by Dr.

A. L. Lewin, president of the Lawrenceville Board of Trade, on behalf of the board, of a beautiful silver loving cup bearing the following inscription: "To the Honorable James Francis Burke as a token of the gratitude and esteem of the people of Lawrenceville. Arsenal park dedication, July 4, 1907." Dr. J.

A. Brashear, through the liberal park rules he suggested, placed himself on the same familiar terms as the congressmen, and the people were ready to act upon his request to call him "Johnny." Dr. Brashear spoke for the Civic club and the occasion was the fiftieth anniversary of the first Fourth of July address, which, at the age of 17, he delivered at Brownsville. It was ore of the most pleasant and most characteristic Fourth of July celebrations ever held in this city. Mayor George Wr.

Guthrie presided and made a stirring patriotic address to which the audience of nearly 10,000 people paid the closest attention, despite the great noise against which all Fourth of July speakers have to contend. The park Is not in finished condition as yet, but it is expected that $50,000 will be expended upon It during the next year for improvements that will make it one of the prettiest breathing spots in the city. Upon the arrival of the Eighteenth regiment of the Pennsylvania National Guard a splendid large silk American flag was raised to the top of a high flag-pole by Miss Helen Hart Winner, Miss Grace L. Caldwell and John Erwin Caldwell, descendants of John Hart, a signer of the Declaration of Independence. The Eighteenth regiment gave a dress parade under command of Col.

F. I. Rutledge. The regiment was out in good strength and in new khaki uniforms, and added to the celebration of the day by giving a parade to and from the armory, cover- CONTINUER ON PAGE THREB MANY SUFFER INJURIES, Explosions of Fireworks and Use of the Toy Pistols Result Disastrously, Nine dead and 32 injured is the record of the Fourth of July In Allegheny county. This includes a probable murder in the East End and a suicide in Allegheny by a man who disliked the noise, as well as a street car accident near Braddock.

The number of persons injured include those who were burned with fireworks. There were dozens who escaped with minor Injuries. From the hospitals -it was reported that the list of patients was smaller this year than in previous years, which Is the result of the strict police ragulations prohibiting the use of any form of explosives other than ordinary powaer. For the first time in the history of the Institution the Mercy hospital was not called upon to dress the wounds of those injured by explosives. In former years the Mercy hospital, on account of its location, has been called upon to care for scores of maimed victims.

While seated in the kitchen of his home Omega street. East End. yesterday afternoon, Joseph Generosa. 25 years old, was shot and perhaps fatally wounded by Alexander Nordiello, proprietor of the house. Nordiello has escaped and his victim is 6aid to be in a dying condition at the Pittsburgh hospital.

According to the investigation made by Police Inspector Peter Walsh and Captain John Callan, the shooting resulted from Nordiello's jealousies over Gt-nero-sa's attentions to Mrs. Nordielij. The latter and another loJgrtr were arretted as witnesses and lodged in the Frankstowi. avenue police station.

Young O'Dono-van was passing from behind the row of bottles when a bullet pierced his breast. The other boys ran to his side and found him dying. The father of the wounded boy was notified and he quickly hurried to the scene. While the father -was car rying the boy home he died in his arms. Deputy Coroner Thomas Laidley was detailed to investigate the case and he caused the arrest of J.

C. Priest, Bernard Kelley. J. M. Scott, Henry Mc-Quarters and Ralph Heiger, who were in the party.

The bullet entered the lad breast and passed through his body. As Martin Byers, 20 years old, was walking past a hotel In Eighth avenue. West Homestead, yesterday morning, a bullet fired by one of two men standing at an upstairs window struck him in the back and passed downward to the thigh. He was carried to the office of Justice of the Peace Walter Terrill nearby. After a physician had temporarily dressed the wound, Byers was removed to the Pittsburgh Homeopathic hospital.

The motor-man did not see the men until too late to stop his car. Orras was in the center of the tracks. His body was run over by the wheels and completely severed. He died instantly.

His companion was walking along the outer rail, and was struck by the fender and thrown to one side, sustaining injuries which may result in his death. Annoyed by Firecrackers. The Incessant popping of firecrackers Is said to have been responsible for the suicide of George Buettner, 60 years old, who shot himself through the head with a revolver at his home in East Oh'o street, Allegheny, early yesterday morning. Buettner had been troubled with extreme nervousness for many years, and at times is said to have been affected mentally. Deputy Coroner Thomas H.

Laidley, who investigated the case, returned a report of suicide while temporarily insane. Mildred Clifton, the five-months-old daughter of J. R.

NORFOLK. Va July 4. Governor Hughes, of New York, and Woodrow Wilson, president of Princeton university, were the orators of the day at the joint Independence day celebration and first an nual reunion of the lineal decendants of the signers of the Declaration of Inde pendence, -it the Jamestown exposition to day, the decendants reunion being held under the auspices of the Thomas Jeffer son Memorial association, of which former Secretary of the Navy Hilary A. Herbert is the acting president. A military parade reviewed by Governor Hughes and others preceded the formal exercises of the day, which opened with the singing of "America" by a chorus of everal hundred school children and music by the national band.

President Tuck er, of the exposition company, delivered an address.of Declaration of Independence was read by Hollins Ran dolph, of Atlanta, a great-great-great-grandson of Thomas Jefferson. Jail One Big Speculator. i Individual acccuntabllity for the acts of corporations, the arrest and imprison- mtnt of corporation heads instead of the fining or dissolution of corporations them selves was the remedy for the monopolistic tendencies and the unlawful practices of modern Industry, "urged by Woodrow Wilson -in his address.

"On realy responsible man in jail," he said, "one real originator of the schemes ard transactions which are contrary to the public legally lodged in the penitentiary would be worth more than a thousand corporations mulcted in fines. If the reform ia to be genuine and permanent." What this country needed, Mr. Wilson net forth, was not Government ownership of railroads, but laws that would attack and punish presidents and general managers of railroads, for evasions and violations of the statutes. Stock manipulations, he called "sheer thefts" and said they should be punished as such. Failure to do'so, in liis mind, was "like overlooking highway robberies." Individuals Responsible.

Every corporation, the educator stated, was personally directed either by some one dominant person or byfc some group of persons. "Somebody in particular is responsible for ordering or sanctioning every illegal act committed by its agents or officers," he continued, "but neither our laws of personal damage nor our criminal law has sought to seek the responsible persons out, and hold them individually accountable for the acts complained of. We have never attempted such statutes. "We indict corporations themselves, find them guilty of illegal practices, fine them and leave the individuals who devise and execute the 'illegal acts free to discover new evasions." Such acts could be passed and should be if we were to better our industrial conditions, Mr. Wilson declared.

Unles3 something of this nature was done and nono quickly, he said, socialism would result. Apply Law or Face Socialism. "It Is only in this way," he said, "that we can escape socialism. Unless we can single out the individual again and make Kim once more the subject and object of law, we shall have to travel still further upon the road of Government regulation which we have already traveled so far, and that road leads to State ownership." President Wilson said it was Just as absurd to indict or dissolve corporations for offenses against the public as it would be to arrest and confiscate automobiles because their owners killed pedestrians. If the individual was made responsible, he wps convinced, the difficulty would be solved.

AKRON, July 4. Senator Charles Dick to-night in a sdgned statement denied emphatically that he ever had borrowed money from former Senator Smith, of Akron, who has just been found short about $180,000 in his accounts. The statement was made in a report yesterday by F. A. Parmlee, State bank inspector, to the State auditor.

It was asserted that among the paper held by former Treasurer Smith were notes of Senator Dick and his partner, L. C. Miles. Senator Dick's explanation is that when the Akron Savings bank went into the hands of receivers it held the paper of himself and Miles secured by stocks of the bank. In the course of the transfer of the resources of the bank the notes fell without Senator Dick's knowledge into the hands of Smith, who.

Senator Dick says, turned them over to an indemnity company. Senator Dick says he has asked the State auditor to make an investigation. BRAYT0N RETIRES. PROVIDENCE. R.
