PRESIDENT WILSON THRILLS HUGE
CROWD IN INDEPENDENCE SQUARE
Philadelphia Celebrates Fourth on Wider Scale Than at Any
Time Since 1876 Centennial Wilson First Chief Execu
tive to Visit Cradle of Liberty on Nation's Natal Day
Many Governors, Congressmen and Other
Prominent Men Present.
THIRTEEN ORIGINAL STATES REPRESENTED
President Calls on the People to Be Truly Patriotic
Panama Tolls, Mexican Problem and Big Business
Touched On Name of United States Should Be
Kept Unsullied Obligations Should
Be Bravely Met.
Philadelphia, Pa.. July 4. Presi
dent Wilson arrived here this morn
ing to attend the big national Inde
pendence day celebration arranged by
Philadelphia to commemorate the
138th anniversary of the signing of
the declaration of independence.
The celebration in Philadelphia this
year was on a wider scale than any
.that has taken place here Bince 187fi,
when the one hundredth anniversary
of the adoption of the celebration of
independence was observed.
The. patriotic exercises were held
in Independence Square, close to the
room where the declaration of inde
pendence was signed and were begun
before the president arrived.
So far as the records go, President
Wilson is the first president of the
i United States who has come to the
cradle of liberty on the nation's na
tal day. The thirteen original states
were represented at the exercises ei
ther by their governors or other rep
resentatives of the state governments.
President Wilson was greeted by
a shrill chorus of factory whistles
from all parts of Philadelphia a6 he
entered the square In front of his
torlc Independence hall
Original States Represented.
In attendance at the celebration
were members of congress and gov
ernors or representatives of the gov
ernors of the original thirteen states
and delegations from nearly every pa
triotic organization In the country.
The president occupied a chair used
by John Hancock and before him was
the table on which the declaration of
independence was signed. A pitcher
once u6ed by George Washington cou
talned his ice water.
Lines of sailors, marines and sol
diers occupied the space in front of
the platform and beyond tbem
stretched a huge crowd drawn from
many partB of the nation.
On the presidents arrival at tbe
Broad street station, he was welcom
ed by a delegation of citizens and by
the First City troops of Philadelphia,
which acted as his guard of honor
during the drive to Independence
square, a mile distant
Philadelphia, July 4. Advocating
A. the modernizing of the declaration of
independence by applying its princi
ples to the business, the politics and
the foreign policies of America. Pres
ident Wilson today thrilled a huge
crowd assembled in Independence
6quare within a few feet of where
the original declaration was signed
The president touched on Mexico,
tbe Panama tolls repeal controversy,
his anti-trust program business con
ditions and his ideas of modern pa
triotism Pounding his fist on the
table on which the declaration of In
dependence was signed, he declared
Americans today must manage their
alffairs In a way to do honor to the
founders of the nation
There are men in Washington, he
declared, whose patriotism Is not
showy but who accomplish great pa
triotic things They are staying in
hot Washington, doing their duty
keeping a quorum In each house of
congress to do business. "And 1 am
might;- glad to stay there and stiek
by them," he added.
Duty of People.
Touching on business conditions of
the country, President Wilson said a
great many allegations of facts were
being made, but that a great many
f of these facts do not tally with each
other "Are these men trying to
v' , strvr their country or something
smaller than their country" the pres
ident asked. "If they love America
and there Is anything wrong. It Is
their business to put their hands to
the task and set It right."
Eighty-five per cent of tbe Mexi
can people, the president said, in
touchine on Mexico, never have had
a right to have a "look in" on their
government or how the other 15 per
cent were running it. "I know the
American people have a heart that
beats for them just as it beats for
other millions," Mr Vil6on contin
ued. "I hear a great deal about the
property loss In Mexico, and I regret
that with all my heart, but back of
it all Is a struggling people. Let
us not forget that struggle, in watch
ing what Is going on In front"
"I would be ashamed of the flag if
we did anything outside this country
which we would not do in it." the
president declared.
Panama Tolls Obligation.
Speaking on Panama tolls, the pres
ident said the treaty with England
might be a mistake, but Its meaning
cannot be mistaken, and he believed
in keeping the nation s obligations.
He believed In keeping the name of
the United States unquestioned and
unsullied.
Before the president got his speech
well under way, the crowd surged
forward in such confusion that a pan
ic was threatened Two companies
of marines and sailors stood before
the speaker's stand and Mr. Wilson
was forced to stop several times, but
finally got the crowd under control.
While the president was waiting to
speak, Mrs. Smith, mother of one of
the first sailors killed at Vera Cruz,
greeted him. Mr. Wilson told her
she should be proud of her son and
shook her warmly by the hand.

RECALLS IB ill
TRAGEDY II EARLY
UTAH DAYS
Joseph Call, the furniture man of
Afton. Wyo., is in the city today
meeting friends. Mr. Call states that
crop conditions in Star valley are
better than in years past and that the
harvest will be heavy. However, Mr.
Call says, the recent cold snap sent
Jack Frost to Star valley, to nip some
of the potato vines and rye which
was in the milk The damage to the
potatoes was not of a serious na
ture for even though the vines were
cut down, they will grow up again
and the tubers will mature. Star
valley i6 quite a potato country, says
the merchant
Mr. Call states that Afton was visit
ed this season by quite a disastrous
fire, the large creamery of the Bur
ton Brothers having been burned to
the ground. It is now being rebuilt
at a cost of $30,000.
Mr. Call Is a member of one of the
first pioneer families of the state,
his grandfather having first settled In
Bountiful His grandfather's brother,
' Joslah Call, was murdered by Blaek
! hawk, the Indian warrior, and his
' band of red fighters in the esrly 60's
j on Round Valley hill, a short distance
! outh of the town of Scipio He was
! t-aveling in company with Samuel
i Brown of Fillmore from Salt Lake to
Fillmore when the Indians came upon
' them.
Brown's body was found hanging In
! a tree and Call's body was quartered
and left in the sagebrush to 1 d"-
I voured by coyotes. The story of the
I murder, as told in Fillmore, is that
Call was among the bravest men in
the southern country and feared by
the Indians, while Brown was known
j among the Indians as a pacifier and
jwas highly respected by Blackhawk
and his men. When the Indians came
I upon Brown and Call, they talked
with Brown and told him that they
i did not want to kill him but that they
were after c all's scalp. Brown re
i piled that if one were to die. both
would go together and that they
would fight to the last Then the as
sault began and every inch of the
ground was fought until the ammuni
tion of the two white men was ex
hausted The Indians afterward told
how Brown was killed first and that
I Call drew his durk and fought hand
to hand with them until he was fl
nally ovpreoine. In deference to
Brown, his body was hung in a tree.
! but Call's body was left on the
ground.
Some of the young men of Fill
more followed this band of Indians
'a number of days and succeeded in
j capturing and killing a number of the
bravps.
