iludson-l'ulton fleet to the national and
international flags of peace, the chimes of
Tiir.lty church, answering with the
:onmics of peace, will take up the refrain
of "dory to Ood In the highest, peace on
earth anil good will to men." The twin
rainbow flugs of peace will be unfurled
from the roof of a downtown skyscraper by
two little girls. In anticipation of the
prophesy, "A little child shall lead them."
The arrival of the squadrons of Germany
and Great Britain today filled up the last
tap In the clght-mlle line of warships
which stretches up the Hundson to a point
well beyond Spuyten Duyvll, where the
houses along the Palliiades become
Infrequent and even the suburbs of the
city arc left behind. There was a (treat
tumult of welcome for the newcomers upon
their arrival cannonading, the wlg-wag-glng
of flags, the hoarse cheers of sailors
siloing across the water and In the even
lti the long-distance greetings of seaich
Ngtits. tirruian Cruisers Arrive.
The four German cruisers. In coats of
spotless white, like that of the old "white
squadron" of I'ncle Sam's navy, came up
the bay at the first lifting of the early
morning 'ok. Tonight found them swing
ing fumllliirly at anchor off Ninetieth
stnet. with their Kuropean neighbors, the
French und I'uli-h, on either side. Throush
out the eventhir there was a great hob
nobbing of slim little launches, while the
rails of the vissels were lined with crowds
of sallormen faring curiously and Inquisi
tively at the shore, where a brilliancy of
Faudy electric decorations give promise o"
a In arty wi lcome.
The Knrtllsh ships, which had followed
the Germans up the Hudson In 1 driving
niiilduy rain, took their assigned position
just atovc Giant s tomb, with a bluft ex
change of cunnonaded rompliments with
I he A in .'I lean battleships anchored just
above them. There was a most convincing
appearance about the four Elrltlsh war-
hlps. The flagship Inflexible, with the
spied lines of a scout cruiser and the
aiivor and armament of a Dreadnought,
anchored snugly alongside the American
Idaho and the other Britishers took their
place close behind. From the peak of the
Inflexibly a pennant proclaimed thy pres
ence of Admiral Seymour.
Hrltona mad Americans.
These four British ships offer interesting
contrast to the American vessels, which
are anchored In a sweeping crescent, as
if for purposes of comparison. The Britons
are plainer and perhaps more businesslike
of outline, seemingly lower In the water
and with less elaborate superstructure
than the Americans. This Is In great part
accounted for by the fact that the Kngllsh
ships lire equipped with the old style mili
tary mast, slim, straight nnd sightly, while
the Americans have the new lattice work
musts, which cannot be shot away.
In the British men-of-war It appears to
the layman, much has been sacrificed to
keep the ship low in the water and make
It as small a target as possible. Although
the Inflexible Is 500 feet long. It lacks the
impression of mossiveness. There are no
superfluous upper works, its ventilators
arc low and Inconspicuous, its three fun
nels, huge In diameter, are short and
stubby, and Its long, lean surfuce haa no
extraneous detail of turret or porthole. To
the l.mdsman It conveys an Impression of
tremendous driving power.
Along the Jersey shore, 200 fireworks
experts worked nil day In the rain, get
ting ready the dozen huge floats from
which will be set off tomorrow night the
greatest display of py rotechnics that New
York or any other city has even seen.
Jack Cornea Ashore.
Among the many thousand visitors which
New York found In its midst tonight, not
the least Interesting and not the least In
terested, were the sailors. Jack came
ashore "today on the first real liberty he has
had in three months, for that reason, de
spite the dismal, dirty weather, he blessed
the celebration. Jack did not mind the
thick wet at all. He Just rolled up his
trousers and went out In pairs, companies
und whole ships' crews to take possession
of the town and no one felt like stopping
him. New Tork has always had a weak
ness for sailors.
Just half of all the crews of the ships
of the Atlantic squadron were ashore. The
other half were kept on board to clean
ship. Shore liberty will end at 8:30 o'clock
tomorrow morning.
The American tars got no chance to
swap yarns with their British brothers,
as they had expected. The British sailors
did not get shore liberty after their ships
came to anchor. Instead they had to turn
to and clean ship for the celebration to
morrow. No boarders were allowed and no
shore leave granted.
Thousands Cheer Ihe Half Moon.
The Half Moon was towed from its berth
at a Brookhn dock this morning down
the East river and harbor to the Kill
Von Kull, between Staien. Island and the
New Jersey shore, where It took its sta
tion in readiness for the start of tomor
row's naval parade. The quaint little ves
sel was greeted by the whistles of every
boat on the river and bay and thousands
rushed to the windows and cheered as It
rounded the Battery.
The grave of Robert Fulton In old Trin
ity church yard was marked today by the
Hohert Fulton Monument association. 'At
each corner of the slab w as placed an enor
mous American flag and around were set
miniature American, British and French
standards.
At the grave gathered a number of rela
tives of the Inventor. They were Mrs. Ar
thur Taylor Sutcllffe and her sister. Miss
Cornelia Crary, great granddaughters; H.
Schuyler t'anmann, a great grandson; Mrs.
Herman H. Can man n, the only living
granddaughter of Fulton, and David S.
Jacobus.
The monument which the association
hopes to erect In Fulton's memory will be
on Riverside drive, between One Hundred
and Forty-fourth and One Hundred and
Sixteenth streets. A great water gate will
be built where distinguished guests of the
state and nation may be fittingly received.
It is expected the work will begin next
year. The cost will be about J2.5O0.OO0. The
state already has granted the rights of
the land under water to the association and
the city has given the ground for the
monument site.

THE DEST DIAHIUIOEA REMEDY
Id selecting remedy for Diarrhoea. Dysentery, Cooler Morbus or Chol
era Infantum, you should use great care. 1
There are many remedies on the market for these diseases. Some art
good, some should be carefully avoided. Others depend upon habit tormina
drugs (or their cures. Wakefield's Blackberry Balsam la the one remedy that la
ilways safe, sure and does not constipate. In 63 years, this medicine has been
used In Millions of cases of bowel trouble and never has one single case been
reported where It has failed to cure when the simple directions were followed.
Wakefield's Blackberry Balsam stops the Diarrhoea, removes the cause
and leaves the stomach and bowels In their natural and regular state. 3 5c or
3 bottles $1.00 everywhere.
WAKEFIELD'S BLACKBERRY BALSAM
Its engines snort their waste energy into
the open air, while In the submarine depths
of the great hulls around its whirring
turbines do the same work with an effi
ciency and power undreamed of by Fulton.
The bell the original Clermont carried on
Its first trip hangs now In the pilot house
of a great sidewheeler that daily makes
In less than twelve hours the same dis
tance that Robert Fulton, for whom It
has been fittingly named, took from Mon
day morning until Wednesday night to
cover.
"This Is a very good land to fall with
and a pleasant land to see," wrote Robert
Juet in his diary of the voyage of the
Half Moon, 1G09. The magnificent oaks,
the poplars, lindens and blue plum trees
that Hudson and Robert Juet, his clerk,
Baw then, have been replaced with soaring
skyscrapers on the shores of that "pleas
ant land," but Hudson and his cre'w on
the Half Moon, and Fulton and his men
on the Clermont, will walk their decks In
the same dress that they wore, the one
300 years and the other 100 years ago.
Over their mastheads during the week will
fly airships and under their keels will bur
row daily the tunnel tialns of the Mc
Adoo Bystem.
PruRrru of Three Centuries.
Tills Is the way In which the Hudson
Fulton celebration proposes to teach his
tory and commemorate the share that
America has had in the making of It. It
will show by pageant and parade and visual
demonstration what we were and what we
have made ourselves. Tho nations of the
world have been Invited to witness. Dele
rates are In, attendance from the govern
ments of Abyssinia and the Argentine re
public, from Austria-Hungary. Bolivia,
Brazil, Chile, China, Columbia, Costa Rica,
Cuba, Denmark, England. Haiti, France
and so on down the alphabetical list of all
the nations of the world, with especial em
phasis allotted the Netherlands, because of
the prominent part they played in formlnif
the early history of the territory in which
the celebration la being held. With the ex
ception of our own, England and Germany
have sent the most notable contributions to
the fleet of war vessels that will assemble
in the lower harbor. In this conned ion
General Stewart I. Woodford, president of
the Hudson-Fulton commission, has said:
"We are now assured of the largest col
lection of war vessels, aggregating at least
eighty, that has ever been assembled in
one place, with the exception of the ren
desvoua of British ships In the Knglish
channel. It, w ill be the largest collection of
war vessels ever brought together on this
side of the Atlantic and the laragest col
lection of an International character ever
assembled anywhere.
Supplementing the parades by land down
Fifth avenue, past a great white court of
staff erected opposfte the new Astor-L,enox-Tllden
public library, and the naval pag
eants of historic, and illuminated floats op
posite the Riverside park, there will be
thrown open during the celebration a great
number of private and public collections of
hlslorlo Interest. The masterpieces gath
ered by the late Maurice Kann will be
shown here by Duveen Rrothers, and the
private purchases from the old Flemish,
Holland and German schools made by J. P.
Morgan and other connoisseurs have been
assembled aud ate now open to publls view

Parade of Street Floats.
The parades of street floats down Fifth
avenue and through the court of honor,
past the reviewing stands, have been
planned two years in advance and worked
out by a Kreat staff of artists, sculptors,
costumers and designers, night and day. In
a specially designed factory, captain A.
II. Stoddard, master of the Mardi Gras
parades that made New Orleans the carni
val city of the world, has been brought on
to New York and placed In full charge of
his specialty.
But impressive as the naval parades will
be. and colorful as will be the pageants,
there Is no question but that the greatest
popular interest attaches to the airship
flights that will be made from Governor's
island some time during the first week of
the celebration. Just what the perform
ance will be must depend on the conditions
of Ihe atmosphere and the willingness of
i ho aviators, but the program calls for a
flight from Governci.-'s island up the North
rlvi-r acro's Manhattan Island In the nelgh
boi hood of Spuyten Duyvll and down the
Kast river, under or over the four great
steel bridges that now span it. Pack to the
starting point. Nothing so daring before
has ever bien contemplated, but both Wil
bur Wright and Glenn H. Curtiss. his most
formidable American competitor, have
slyned contracts to attempt at least as
much of it as their Judgment villi warrant.
Scheme of Illumination.
Busy as will be the days, the nights will
be perhaps even more beautiful. For a
week during the Hudson-Fulton celebra
tion the city of New York In all Us bor
oughs will be the most brilliantly illum
inated In the world. The decorative uses
of electricity were first realized en a scale
worthy of their possibilities at the world's
fair, in Chicago In l&3. and from that
time on every succeeding exhibition has
been more lavish in its appropriation for
lighting, until this year it ib estimated
conservatively that, in addition to the
regular lighting of the city and exclusive
of the conn acts placed by private firms
for advertising display, theie will burst
into blaze, on the night of September 25
at.aMI.UUG candle power.
This gie.il am;n;ate la apportioned, as
marly as can be determined, between the
four boioiiKliB as follows: l.ruo.ou incan
descent globes. "000 arc lights. 3.UO0 flam
ing arches and two batteries of search
lightsone of four lights, aggregating Ht).
Oou candle power, and the other of twelve
lifchts, aggregating 1.700.0IKI candle power.
The smaller battery will play continuously
from all sides of the white marble of
Uiant's tomb, liifch above the river on the
Manhattan shore of the Hudson, and the
great battery of l.TtrtOiio candle power will
light up the river Itself In both directions
from its farthest visible upper tea' hes to
the lower harbor. Alt the I'mted States
battleships and the ships of war of other
nations lying in the rudsted will likewise
be outlined in fue from stem to stern and
draped with incandescent festoons from
their topmasts to their hulls
The Singer tower, Ihe white shaft of the
new Metropolitan, tower, the FUtiron
building, the Times building and all the
better known and more conspicuous pri
vate buildings, as well as all the. municipal
buildings, will be made the objects of
special display. Hidden searchlights will
play on the white marble until they stand
out against the night glowing and luminous
as if from within, through transparent
walls.
llrlda-es to tie I.luhted.
The four steel spans across the East
river between New York and Brooklyn
the Queenshorough, the Williamsburg, the
uncompleted Manhattan and the Brooklyn
bridges will all be outlined from end lo
end. The route of the parades will bo bor
dered on both curbs with festoons of in
candescent globes, and the Washington
arch and the reviewing stands will punc
tuate the long lines with a contrasting ar
rangement of colored floral designs. In the
huge bronze urn topping the marble shafi
of the Martyrs' monument at Fort Greene,
in Brooklyn, designed by Stanford White,
will burn a continuous fire of fangots, as
was the original Intent of the architect
never before realized.
And on the clo.'ing night of the celebra
tion, beacon fires will flame from even'
headland all the length of the path thai
Henry Hudson traveled from Manhattan
Island to Albany 300 years ago.
Educational emphasis will be laid on all
the more spectacular features of the cele
bration by arranging that wherever possi
ble he l.OoO.OOO school children of tireater
New York shall have a part in them, and
It has been the design of the promoters
throughout to arrange their displays in
such wise that they may be seen by the
laigest number of persons.
Great care has been taken to see to the
comfort and safety of out-of-town visitors.
Til! city will be cleared of old offenders;
out-of-town crooks will be looked for with
an especially sharp eye, not only by I i n
detectives, but by details sent heie To
other cities; field hospitals and ambului.c
stations have been plated where they i'i
be most promptly of service in calls o
emergency, and, finally, the lnforma;io
bureau of the commission, in its offices a
the Tribune building, will give out a lis.
of reputable hotels and boarding houe
whkh are not so likely to be uvcrcrowd-u
as those better known.

GRAND -JURY HA.JDS

Conspiracy hartce Attains! t'hlcuKO
Men Put in m Form Honda

CHICAGO, Sept. 24. -Indictments charg
ing conspiracy were returned by the grand
Jury today against John J. Holland, secre
tary of the Jury commissioners; Willis J.
Itaburn. a real estate dealer, and Nicholas
Martin, secretary to Alderman 'Ilinky
I link" Kenna.
The Indicted men were arrested several
days ago and their preliminary hearing wa-i
set for next Tuesdwy. As State's Attorney
Whvmaii would have bfen compelled to
outline his evidence at a hearing before an
examining magistrate, the charges were
hastened before the grand Jury and onlv
allegations sufficient to establish a prima
facie case were laid before the linjuisitnrs
The Indictments contain fourteen counts,
ten charging conspiracy to defeat public
Justice and corrupt the Jury lists, and four
charging the falsification of public records.
Importance Is attached lo the fact that
Hopewell H. Mason was called as a witness
before the grand Jury, as he Is chief clerk
in the office of the Jury commissioners.
Bonds aggregating I7S.0O0, under which
the accused men have been at liberty, have
disappeared. The papers were In Judge
McKwen's desk and State's Atiorney Way
man admitted today that this desk had been
broken into ami Ihe bonds stolen. Two
women are said to be concerned In Ihn
theft. Capiases for the rearrest of Holland,
Habiirn and Martin were issued this after
noon. The men will be taken Into custody
as soon as possible and new bonds executed.
