All James Street Celebrates
At Wedding of *Mayor* Vatiella
Politicians and Peasants, Civic Rulers and Ragpick?
ers Unite to Make Nuptials of Bootblack,
Who Rose to Power, Memorable in District
Rober! Vanella- "Rox" bis constlt-1
aents call him as the "Mayor of James'
Str? i .," yesterday took unto himself a
bride and this morning 2,000 tongues
are babbling in Italian, Yiddish, Polish
and Irish brogue of tho wondrous wed?
ding and the feast which followed.
Never before has the Chiesa Di S.
Gioach.no, the Roman Catholic Church
of St. Joachim, at 22 Roosevelt Street,
seen such a nuptial procession, with
its 150 automobiles bringing the guests,
and never has a bride at its altar
worn a wedding gown such as Miss
Sadio Faranda wore, with its satin
and lace and long train and veil. James
Street, Madison Street and Roosevelt
Street will have enough gossip for a
month, while the bridal couple are
whizzing about on their honeymoon
trip through the West.
New York City has its Mayor Hylan
and James Street has its Mayor "Rox"
Vanella. It is no empty honor. The
neighborhood held a meeting several
years ago at St. Angelo Hall and put
Vanella in office, knowing full well
what it did. He was to take care of
them and the James Streoters would
take care of him. And walking along
James Street yesterday, listening to
the comment of those who planned tc
attend the wedding and then the sup?
per and reception at Arlington Hall in
St. Mark's Place, the arrangement has
proved mutually satisfactory.
Their Second Wedding Ceremony
Father Annunzio, of the Chiesa D
S. Gioachino, who performed the rell
gious ceremony, was giving a last lool
about at the church arrangement ii
the afternoon, waiting for the wedding
party to arrive from Woodside, L. I.
tho home of the bride's parents. Th?
church bridal ceremony of Rober
Vanella and Sadie Faranda was thei
second ceremony. Several weeks agi
they went through the civil ceremon;
at the clerk's office in Long Islam
City, but that was only preliminary t
the festival yesterday.
So long as James Street was to se
a wedding, it was to see a real wedding
one of which even Fifth Avenue woui
be proud. Of this Robert Vanella, hi
bride and her parents were determine
and, accordingly, 2,000 invitations, coi
rect in every detail, were sent out t
relatives and friends, among whoi
were many well-known political figure!
One hundred and fifty automobiles wer
in readiness to carry the guests froi
the church to Arlington Hall wher
supper was served for 1,000 person
with an elaborate vaudeville progra:
adding to tho gayety of tho feast.
John Torrio. the best man, we
known in Chicago politicr,. e;:p.>e in
special car, bringing a party of lift
with him.
Invitations were sent to Major L
Guardia, President, of the Donrd of
Aldermen; to Justice Freachi and oth?
ers, for Vanella ?s a power among his
people.
Weeks before the wedding gifts be?
gan to pour in at the undertaking es?
tablishment of the bridgegroom, at 09
Madison Street, and at his home, at 29
?Madison Street. So much silverware
arrived that "Rox" found it impossible
I to keep track of the givers and smii
! ingly credited all his friends with re?
membering hitn. In all, he says, $10,
000 worth of gifts were sent to him
and his bride. Magistrate Nolan re?
membered him with a present of silver.
Of this "Rox" was sure.
"Rox" Vanella was born thirty-six
years ago at fiR James Street, and he
has made his home in the neighborhood
ever since, lie came up, not without
! a struggle, from a bootblack's box to
the ownership of two undertaking
rooms, the presidency of the Ragpick?
ers' Union, membership in Tammany
I Hall and a captaincy on the staff of
j Rig Tom Poley.
Friend of the Ragpickers
The ragpickers swear by Vanella.
His organization of the union and the
! three strikes that he called on behalf
I of the members have improved condi
I (ions among the workers immeasurably
! and wages have mounted in proportion
j to the improvements he has brought
I about.
Just two months ago the Mayor of
i James Street met his bride-to-be. Tie
crossed tho river to the marble works
of Faranda & Son, at Laurel Hill, L. I.,
to advise a client in tho choice of a
headstone. Mr. Faranda's daughter,
Sadie, was standing beside u newly
hewn monument.
"I looked at her and decided that she
would be my monument," the "Mayor"
said, telling of the meeting. "Two
weeks later we were married at the
City Hall. And now, according to the
Italian custom, we are having n church
wedding."
While the wedding guests were still
j making merry early this morning "Rox"
Vanella took his bride out to a waiting
automobile which he had bought foi
her and they started out on then
honeymoon trip. They Will go by motoi
to Niagara Falls and Buffalo, thence b>
train to Chicago, St. Paul, Montana
i Spokane, Portland, San Francisco, Los

On their return in two months th?

Bedtime Stories
Redhead the Woodpecker Escapes
By Thornton W. Burgess
When all seems 'peaceful, then
watch out
Lest danger hrrk somewhere
about. ?Redhead.
Redhead the Woodpecker and Mrs.
Redhead had made their home in the
Old Orchard this year and were find?
ing it very much to their liking. "I
don't know," said Mrs. Redhead to
Redhead, as they were finishing their
home in the dead branch of an apple
tree, "why we haven't built here be?
fore. There is plenty to eat without
tiring ourselves out hunting for it,
and it. seems to me about the safest
place we have yet found. About the
only enemy we will have to watch out
for here ?s Black Pussy the Cat. My,
how I hate Cats! "
Redhead nodded. "I do, too," said
he. "But after all they are rather
stupid things, and if we watch out
sharp enough we should have no
trouble in keeping out of Black
Pussy's claws. Hawks are the ones
I fear most. I don't believe we will
have much trouble from them here.
It is too near Farmer Brown's house."
For a while the handsome red
heads and black and white coats ?f
Mr. and Mrs. Redhead provoked a lot
of gossip on the part of their neigh?
bors in the Old Orchard. A few were
jealous. That is what they were?
jealous. And some of them were not
at all nice. But Mr. and Mrs. Red?
head paid no attention to them and
attended to their own affairs. The
house was finished and soon Mrs.
Redhead spent most of her time sit?
ting on the precious eggs it con?
tained.
Redhead spent his time huntisg for
worms in the apple trees, helping him?
self to strawberries in Farmer
Brown's garden or catching flies. He
was very fond of catching flies and
was almost as clever at it as Cresty
the Flycatcher. In this respect he
was very dur?rent from his relatives.
Downy and Hairy, both members of
the Woodpecker family.
As time went on Redhead became
so used to the peaceful life of the
Old Orchard ih?t he becamo careless.
He almost forgot that danger was
possible. One morning very early, be
fore anybody was stirring in Farmer \
Brown's house, Redhead flew around I
to the other side of the house, the !
side furthest from the Old Orchard. '
There he sat on a post trying to ?
make up his mind what he Wanted ;
for breakfast.
He was so busy trying to make up ':
his mind whether he wanted straw- j
berries or bugs that morning that he i
didn't pay much attention to any- !
thing else. Now it happened that!
Sharpshin the Hawk, one of the mem- :
bcrs of the Hawk family most feared
j "About the only enemy we will
have to tvatch out for here
is Black Pussy the Cat"
by small feathered folk, had started
! out early that morning and took it
jinto his head to have a look around
| the home of Farmer Brown, for he is
! bold, is Sharpshin. Like all other
i members of the Hawk family, he has
'wonderful eyes, and while vet a long
? way off he saw Redhead sittinjr on
? that post. At first all he saw was a
j spot of bright color, but he guessed
| at once what that spot was and head?
ed that way.
Now. it is doubtful if Redhead
| would have seen Shurpshin at all had
i it not been that Scrapper the King
j bird over in the Old Orchard was
i watching and saw him coming. At
? once he screamed a warning to all his
: feathered neighbors. Redhead heard
that warning and wondered what
could be going on over in the Old
Orchard. He looked over in that di
I rection and then?well, for just the
; teeniest, weeniest fraction of a second
i his heart almost stopped beating With
fright. Heading straight for him at
! wonderful. speed was Sharpshin the
; Hawk.
Redhead did the only thing for him
! to do?flew with all his might straight
into the nearest tree where the
branches grew most thickly. He didn't
have time to pick his way among
them. He just flew blindly, trusting
to luck that he would get in wher?
Sharpshin could not follow him. As
it was, he was just in the very nick
of time, for Sharpshin swept, past,
brushing the leaves of the tree, and
so close that his outstretched claws
just touched Redhead's tail! Red?
head had escaped.

DUl Not Believe Such General
Approval Possible in Ameri?

BALTIMORE, July 3. -Attorney Gen?
eral Hairy M. Daugherty, who has
been in Baltimore for the lust few
days, expressed his appreciation last
night of tne appointment of former
President William H. Taft as Chief
Justice of the United States.
"Probably no appointment ever made
by the Pr?sider.':," Attorney General
Daugherty said, "has received the
universal commendation that the ap?
pointment of former President Taft as
Chief Justice has received. Many tele?
grams and letters have been received
by the President and by the Depart?
ment of Justice since the death of
Chief Justice White, and at least 90
or 95 per cent of them have been favor?
able to the appointment of former
President Taft as Chief Justice.
"His recognized attainments ns a
profound lawyer are appreciated by the
leading lawyers everywhere. I have
seen or heard no criticism except that
which is traceable to other reasons
than those reflecting upon hisT ability,
integrity and qualification as a great
jurist. In fact there was less opposi?
tion to former President Taft's ap?
pointment than I would imagine there
would be to the appointment of any
man in the United States to any of
the higher offices."

100,000 Crowd Lifts Bathing
Suit Lid at Atlantic City
Reach Rules Overwhelmed by Record Throng!
and ^Woinen Appear in Anything at All or |
Nearly Nothing; Hotels Full to Overflowing
ATLANTIC CITY, July 3. More
than HiO.OOH men and women in bath?
ing suits and as many more in the
lightest costumes available thronged
tho beaches here to-day. No such
crowd has ever before been seen at
one resort on tho Jersey Coast.
The lid was lifted clean off in so
far as beach attire was concerned.
The sweltering crowd came from every
direction in every sort of conveyance,
dressed, or rather undressed, for an
immediate plunge into the sea. Even
street cars were permitted to carry
men and women in bathing suits and
for several hours they were crowded
with bathers en route to the beach.
The rush began yesterday and con?
tinued until every room in every hotel,
private house and boarding house had
been taken. Cottagers began doubling
up to make more room for tho hun?
dreds who had no place to sleep. At
every one of the big restaurants hun?
dreds stood in line for hours awaiting
their turns to dine. The throngs ex?
tended to Chelsea and the new Ritz
Carlton, opened last week, was full to
capacity even before late trains had
arrived.
Tho rule against rolled down stock?
ings was suspended, and, for that mat?
ter, thousands of girl bathers dis
pen sed with stockings entirely. The
police abandoned all efforts to enforce
regulations with regard to costuming
One piece suits were worn by hundreds
of women and there was a great dis?
play of fluffy-ruffled costumes de
signed mon especially for the parade
than for the water.
While the supposition existed that
Atlantic City had actually gone dry at
last, demand for liquid refreshment
demonstrated that waiters' hip pockets
hold almost anything one might ask
for. It wasn't whiskey, the vendors
declared, but no matter what it was
the demand grew with every sampling.
No arrests were made for liquor law
violation.
Extra lifeguards were stationed all
?dont* tl'.e beach tr> prevent accidents.
Railroad official.-; declared that more
than 200,000 persons had been carried
to the resort by roil within twenty
four hours. Many miles of parked auto?
mobiles indicated how the balance of
the crowd traveled. Mor? than 5,000
machines were parked on side streets
leading to the beach last night.
Harry Livingstone and Miss Frances
Morton, both of Philadelphia, were
overcome by pubmersion, as also were
Miss Helen Stev/art, of Pittsburg, and
H. Dougherty and daughter, of Phila?
delphia. All were revived in the medi?
cal tent.

(Continuad from paga on?)
minority who by their interest are
aligned with the tyrannical rule of the
liquor traffic insolently propose to
parade the streets of the nation's me
j tropolis on the nation's birthday, with
I the avowed purpose of nullifying the
j constitutional amendment and defying
tho popular will. This proposal shows
j the same fineness of feeling, the same
j sense of the fitness of things which
; has characterized the cynical and
! shameless traffic in the past. Such a
; celebi 'ion on the Fourth of July is as
incongruous and blasphemingly dese
j crating as celebrating Mother's' Day
: by entertaining and honoring in her
; home a convicted criminal who had
! insulted, degraded and robbed her, and
I who was still blatant, boasting and
; defiant.
Likened to Domestic Insurrection
"This Fourth of July the supporters
? of the tyrannical liquor traffic which
has been repudiated by the new dec?
laration of independence, the Eight?
eenth Amendment, is to be celebrated
by an organized 'domestic insurrection'
dubbed a 'personal liberty parade' in
? favor of this tyrannical traffic which
1 has been adjudged guilty of high
! crimes by the jury of the American
' people in the court? of public opinion.
- The verdict witn regard to the un
! aiienable rights of life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness is that it has
i blighted life by turning songs into
? sobs, libeled liberty by decking it in
I the mocking robes of license, and has
: made the pursuit of happiness a mirage
; of misery* and woe. Think of it?the
j Fourth of July, our holy national day,
'? desecrated by a lav/less demonstration
I in favor of a new compast between our
i government and this disease breeding.
! body breaking, home wrecking, soul
! damning traffic!"
Dr. William J. Hampton, pastor of
I Grace Methodist Episcopal Church of
! Port Richmond, Staten Island, al&o
?joined the chorus of indignation in his
; sermon last night.
"Staged for the Fourth of July, on
Fifth Avenue, is to be a parade in pro
I test against a law which has brought
; untold blessing to millions of people
I in this great country," said Dr. Hamp?
ton. "We are told that from 200,000
to 500,000 people will be in that parade.
! Suppose there are 200,000; that is only
I three times as many as those whose
lives were crushed out by King Alcohol
every year during the reign of th?3
I bloody tyrant?for every year on an
I average of (30,000 lives were laid on
i his bloody altar.
"But why disgrace our national holi?
day by such a parade? If these folk,
representing such a meaner minority
, of our people, wanted to parade, why
i could they not have hit upon some
' other day, than that associated with the
most sublime, patriotic associations?
"Can we, by any possible stretch of
the imagination, picture Abraham Lin?
coln serving as grand marshal of such
a parade?"
Dr. Hampton criticized metropolitan
I newspaper editors for the prominence
I they pave to the demonstration and
I he said they should be given promi?
nent positions in the ranks to-day.
One Minister Upholds Marchers
The Rev. William H. Freeman, a
Presbyterian minister of Carlisle, N.
Y., who offered to aid the State Legis?
lature in a proposed investigation of
I the Anti-Saloon League in the winter
of 1920, has come out strongly in fa?
vor of the marchers and sent them the
?following "open" word:
"To tho Anti-Prohibition Paraders ?
j Yours is a splendid privilege, the re
I kindling of the basic spirit of the na
I tion. You sound abroad a call to the
I resumption of that high moral-minded
i ness and fine patriotic determination
j that set this great republic a-making.
"The v/rongs that you are resisting
i are the heiviest wrongs that have ever
I fallen upon the nation. They are the
more menacing because they operate
under the guise of great moral forces
and name themselves great moral
issues. The monstrous species of
moralism rampant in the nation arc as
ungodly as they are un-American. Un?
less they are destroyed they will tear
the nation asunder and wreck its re
! ligion. The illegitimacy of the Eight
: eenth Amendment has brought the en
| tire Constitution into ill repute. Legis?
lative enactments and judicial decisions
i cannot make American that which is
i un-American. The restfulness and
j content of a people, its right to be
free- -these things alone determine its
Constitution.
"The great mass of the people
throughout the country, the level?
headed and effective mass of the peo?
ple, awaits your demonstration with
keen interest."
In Jersey City, where there will also
j be an anti-prohibition parade to-day,
: the Rev. Gottlieb Andreas, a Lutheran
? minister, not only favors the parade,
j but is a member of the Hudson County
i committee in charge and urges the
members of his congregation to be in
| line. The Rt. Rev. Mgr. Patrick E.
i Smyth and the Rev. Emil Strainese, |
| Catholic priests, are also members of
? the parade committee for Hudson
I County.
Brooklyn Promises 50,000
Rrooklyn promises to send more than
j 50,000 across the bridges to-day to
swell the columns in Fifth Avenue.
County Court Judge Reuben L. Haskell
is expected to head the Brooklyn dele?
gation. ,
The line will be headed by a platoon
of mounted police. Then will come
three autos. The first will carry
Director Frank C. Drake and guests,
the second, Michael J. McCarthy, Eu?
gene Johnson, C. H. Buhler and Miss
Belle Norton, and the third William
Wandell, George Kissane, Thomas F.
Carney and Major William Kennelly.
Following these, will be the colors of
the American Liberties League. The
69th Regiment Band will come next,
preceding the grand marshal, Com?
mander Warren Shaw Fisher, and his
aids, consisting of Charles Gurnaelius,
John H. McCormick, Harry Wilson,
Albert Mueller. E. C. Ettinger, James
J. Hand, P. Guila and James J. Curran.
A forty-foot banner with the slogan,
"The Volstead Act Must Go," will
follow.

Many Are Disappointed;
Only One Arrest Made
100 Wailing "Kids" Lost
Throngs Seek Relief From
Heat al Every Breathing
Spare ; One Prostration
Coney Island had its b?rget crowd
of the season yesterday, estimated at
more than 400,00. Almost every one
who went to the resort wanted to go n
bathing, apparently, but there were ac
ccinmodationn at the bathhouses for
only about 100,000, and after standing
in line for hours the others gave it
up and tried some other form of amuse?
ment.
Long before dawn a line began to
form in front of the Municipal Baths,
West Fifth Street and Surf Avenue,
and at 8 o'clock, when the doors were
opened, more than 4,000 persons were
waiting. One woman, who insisted on
pushing her way to the front of the
line and who told a patrolman who ad?
monished her that he ought to be catch?
ing burglars, was arrested on a charge
of disorderly conduct.
That was the only offense that the
police discovered among all the crowd
of nearly half a million throughout the
day. They found an extraordinary
number of sticky-faced, lusty-lunged
lost children, however, and more than
100 of them, whose parents were not tc
be found anywhere in their vicinity
were taken to Coney Island Police Sta?
tion.
And They All Cry at Once
There they were placed in the care
of Policewoman Rose S. Taylor. Mrs
Taylor spent twenty-two months over
I seas as a nurse, and thought at time.?
that it was far from being an enjoy
! able experience, but there was many ?
time yesterday when eighty-seven oi
i eighty-eight of her charges burst int<
' disconsolate bellows that she wishei
I she was back in France working nine
?teen hours a day on short rations.
At the West End Terminal and a
the Steeplechase Pier, where the boat:
, of the Iron Steamboat Company stop
? there were constant throngs from dawi
until midnight. In the rush to get of
a Sea Beach train at the terminal, Mrs
Jessie Kickel, of 258 Stanton Street
was pushed into a gap between a ca
and the platform, and her right leg wa
broken. She was taken to Cone;
I Island Hospital.
So large and turbulent was the crow<
Ion the Steeplechase Pier at 5 o'clocl
: that the reserves wererfsent therp fron
the Coney island Police Station in re

talcum powder, soap and perfumery, h
drove away, and although the seen

was not caught. Mrs. Lanzon was abl

Democrats Praised
By White for Aid
To Hard i up Regime
; National Chairman Says the

fidence in Republicans'
Ability to Meet Problems
WASHINGTON, July 3-Geor??
White, Democratic national chairraea.
. to-day issued a "July 4 Proclamation
to Democrats,'' congratulating gEj
] complimenting his party members ot
j what he said had been their "Con
structive, not obstructive attitude" t?
ward the Republican Administration n
far, but assuring them that "the p?o
plo are losing confidence in the abilir,
of the present national Administrativ
to provide adequate remedies" for dis
turbed economic and political cords
tions.
"This, our nation's birthday, oa
most patriotic holiday," Mr. Whits'
! statement read, "seems an appropri?t
1 time for me to make a statement coi
I cerning national conditions and tt
| attitude of our party whose found?
I were the most conspicuous of the a
j tion's founders.
SecB Much Apprehension
"Throughout the nation there :
much present uneasiness and much a;
i prehension for the futur?. The reasoi
? are political, which is my reason f<
; making this statement.
"More than two years a?o a wor
! peace was made at Versailles, but f
! partisan political reasons this natii
i is not yet at peace with the enen
? nations of the war, which admitted
! cannot be made by a Concession
! resolution. Business has reached sw
; depression that bitter complaints a
; heard from the business world. Ft
eign trade has declined almost to t
I vanishing point. Agriculture is prt
trate. Taxation and governmental <
penditures are at the maximum in o
' history. The tremendous percenta
1 of idleness in the ranks of labor
aimost unprecedented.
"For more than two years the I
! publican party has been in charge
the legislative branch of the govei
t. For four months it has been
actual charge of all departments
: the government, but it has not remed?
nor alleviated these conditions, and.
far, has failed of any material accc
; plishment. The people are losing ci
: fidence in the ability of the presi
? national Administration to provi
ad?quat? remedies for the conditfi
! described.
"During the period of the Repul
i can party's return to power the Der
; cratic party's attitude towards its
' ponents has been constructive, not
: structive; helpful, not hurtful, and
j has given the party in power a i
I chance.
"I take this patriotic occasion
congratulate and compliment the Bei
; cratic party upon its attitude tow
I the Republican Administration, on
forbearance towards the Execul
j and its efforts of constructive help!
ness in legislation, placing the inl
c.-ts of the country above partisan
i terest, again pro\ :..; its moral i
1 political integrity, its true patriot
and its devotion to the interests of

Good Morning
?Mr. Fourth of July
We are indeed glad to have you come
back to spend the day with us.
There is no place on this round globe
where you are so welcome as in this dear
old city. You first made your mark in
the Old State House upon Independence
Square. The same old Liberty Bell sits
in her place near the South door, with the
words of the Book of Books inscribed
thereon.
"Proclaim liberty throughout
all the land wnto
all the inhabitants thereof."
fliese words were first spoken from
Hie steps of the South door to an assem?
bled multitude on the first of the
Fourth of Julys, 3776, and they went
ringing 'round the world. Today they
are ringing louder and farther than
ever.
