AGO SINCE PILGRIMS SET SAIL Another Mayflower, President’s Yacht, Anchors at Plymouth TERCENTENARY EXERCISE Brilliant Street Parade, An Address By President Harding and Historical Pageants All on Program of Festivi- ties at Old Town. Plymouth, Mass., Aug, l.—Another Mayflower came to Plymouth today, this one the presidential yacht bringing President Harding and an official party to join in formal observance of the tercentenary of the landing of the Pilgrims. 300 Years Ago Today. The Mayflower’'s passengers of 300 years ago landed on a wild coast mark- ed only by Indian trails. Those of to- day made landing to an official welcome in scenes that offered striking contrast with those that faced the Fathers. Through the streets of the town streamed thousands of persons—100,- 000 was one estimate—governors, lesser officials, men of high social degree and those of labor. Many of them formed in a colorful parade in which were, di- rect descendants of both the first set- tlers and of the friendly Indians with whom they lived in peace. President Takes Part. 1 In this parade the president himself took ‘part both as a participant and re- viewer. The parade and other incid- ents served to set the scenes for the principal feature of the day's commem- | _ished. Ahd these, .too, without sur- render of the nationally which has inspired or the ood conscience which has defended. Prospect is Bright. “The international prospect is more than promising and the dis- tress and d-pr:tslon ‘at home ‘are symptaomatic early. \COVery. Mvnd‘hy. sound e*:onomx- cally, unrivalled-ia-genius; unextetled ir industry, resolute in determina- tion and unwavering in faith these United States will carry on.” In the course of his speech. Mr. Harding praised particularly ‘the part religious freedom and other - New England traditions had played in de- velopment of the nation. He ‘also took occasion to deplore the <com- mon tendency to concentrate govern- mental authority in Washington an to reaffirm his faith in religion as an essential element of good ' gov- ernment. Momentous Centuries. The president said in part: “It is not too much to say that the three centuries which have passed -since men of our race caune here to found a new state have been the most momentous and the most pregnant in - all -the progress of human kind. “To this and the Virginia shore were transplanted the se/ls of rep- resentative democracy, the new ideals of nationality through association and representation and there has devel- oped seemingly, the most dependable form of popular government ever wit- nessed in the world. “Whether we reflect upon the restraints upon free- dom which the fathers imposed or measure the broader liberty under the law of today, here began the reign of dependable public opinion, which unfailingly is the law of highest civili- zation. Revolution Was Inevitable. “One may not say whether the Pur- itans at home would have been able to work out such a system if there had been no American colonies and the colonial influences to react upon the mother country. Doubtless the English revolution which came soon after the settlement at Plymouth would have come even had there been no settlement here, no Massachusetts, bay colony, no Virginia plantation. But it is easy to believe that in the long struggle after the restoration, the fruits of the revolution, the strengthened parliamentary institu- tions and the restrictions on royal prerogative were helped by the in- fluences of colonial democracy. “No one will ever dispute the large part New England played in the rear- ing of new standards of freedom. The early struggles here were contempor- aneous with the making of modern British constitutionalism and the new world beacon was an incentive and an inspiration across the sea, and to- day the Old World and New join ih rejoicing at the ends achieved. The beginning of American revolution may fairly be traced the larger part of a century from.the date we com- monly fixed for it, to the great town meeting in the old South church, to which was submitted the question whether the colony would.~~ .it to the charter reorganization _t the kinz demanded. Religious Freedom. “If the idea of religious freedom had little to hop: for from the effort of the stern old fathers to set up a theocracy in New England the ideal of political freedom found here a particularly fertils soil in which to germinate, 8 “The clash between a theocratic tyranny on this side and a political tyranny on the other resulted in the destruction of bot'h to the vast better- m-m& Lo orative program, public exercises be- ginning at 4 p. m. at which President (Continued on Second Page.) 1 Local Police Will Enforce Jitney Law Pending Orders From Higher Officials FREDERICK H.

Jitneymen Now Hope For Similar Decisions Here No word has been received in New Britain concerning the issuance of a federal injunction and there is con- siderable comment among jitneymen, lawyers, who are interested, members of the police In commenting upon the Chief Rawlings . said he had re- ceived nothing except a letter from Robbins B. Stoeckel, commissioner of motor vehicles, to commence tomor- row to arrest and prosecute person operating under the old public service marker. ‘Will Enforce Law. “Unless I receive official orders to the contrary,” said Chief Rawlings, “I will obey the orders of the com- missioner and begin prosecuting all violators of the law. “I know nothing officially of any such injunction,” said Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Joseph G. Woods. “Of course,” he added, “If we receive a notice of a federal in- junction which applies to us, we will proceed to act in conformity with the terms of the injunction. " When asked if a general injunction issued to restrain state officers from interfering with local jitneymen would affect city officials automatic- ally, without further explanation, Attorney Woods replied, “The city officials are, in effect, only agents of the state. An injunction affecting all state officials, necessarily would affect city officials” Mr Woods did not say what his plans were in case he failed to receive notification of the injunction, but from the statement of Chief of Police Rawlings that he will go ahead with arrests, it is inferred that Attorney Woods is prepared to push prosecu- tions until.ordered to stop.

Aug. l.—Zome of the city’s “unlicensed” jitney men re- sumed business today, evidently as- suming they would be immune fron: arsest. Théy were notified ty quit un- der orders from Supt. of Police Beach, who said he had received no notice of the injunction reported signed by Judge Thomas -of the federal court and kne wnohing.about it. A Nau- satuck jitneyman arraigned in court nere for carrying passengers withou: a franchise was discharged when onlv the policeman who had arrested him appeared as a witness. The court ruled. that the officer should ~have summoned the passengers into court as witnesses. Judge John F. McGrath -aid it would be extremely difficult to convict any driver on the unsupported testimony of one police witness. ‘Will Enforce Law Hartford, Aug 1.—Chief of Police Garrett J. Farrell said today that the issuance of a federal injunction by Judge Edwin S. Thogas would have no effect upon his plans to enforce the jitney law beginning Tuesday morn- ing. The chief said that no jitneys were operating here anyway but that “i¢ any P. S. markers come along, we'll take them up.” Neither Chief Hurley of the state pclice department nor Public Utilities Commissioner Joseph Alsop had re- ceived any official notice of Judge Trnomas’ injunction up to noon al- though both had been informed that one had been issued. Commissione Alsop said that Commsisioner Elwell hag called him on the telephone from New Haven and told him that Judgs Thomas had granted a temporary in- junction but he could not say what the scope of the injunction was. Only New Haven Judge Thomas said over the tele- phone from his home in Norwalk today as he recalled the papers which he signed on Saturday the writ of injunction applied only to New Haven county and that Supt. Hurley of the state police was named in the writ only with regpect to hia prospectiva enforcement of the law in that coun- ty. It is claimed by jitneymen, how- ever, that Judge Thomas must ol necessity, grant similar injunctions for the whole state, if requested aa whatever constitutional right; ara denied to New Haven jitneymen by the new state law would be equally abrogated throughout the state. Officials Not Reached Although no state official who could be reached today had heard officially of the injunction granted on behalf of New Haven jitneymen, it is under- stood here that Attorney Gen. Heealy will represent the public utilities com- mission before the U. S. court in New Haven on August 16, to oppose the jitneymen's contention that the state | violates their rights under the fed- eral constitution. Whatever decision the court may make, the case is al- most certain to go w0 the U. 8. Su- preme court for final review, accord- ing to reliable authorities. WEATHER. el Hartford.
