$4,000 PINE TREES PLANTED,
Big Undertaking at ShelburneS Farms
Just Completed.

The work of planting about l55,r)0 pine
trees on the Sheburne farms of DR.. w.
Seward Webb was completed Saturday.
The work has been progress for four
weeks with a force of nearly 100 men UNI
der the supervision of A. j. Taylor of this
city. The trees We're all laid out in land
scape work and Mr. Taylor has shown
remarkably good taste and management
in identifying the grounds by this i'm
mense number of trees They are laid out
in "A groves, which are situated on the
various hills that dot the farms, Each
grove is bounded by numerous towering
shrubs. such as snow drops, elders, honey
suCklcs. etc. The trees that have been
planted are between two and three feet
high, but under favorable conditions will,
in a few years, form handsome groves.
Pleasant drives have been laid out through
tho groves in one or two places but for
the most part the groves are access bile
only on foot The trees are planted soy
eral feet apart ana will offer in time a
fine covering for small game. About H.
80 of the trees We're planted especially as
covering for phesants. The trees thdt
were purchased this spring were boug Mt
in Illinois for DIR, Webb by A, Taylor and
A. j. Taylor, who made special trip
for that purpose. The trees are of the
White and Scotch pine variety.
The planting of l55GHo trees would not
seem, perhaps, to the average person a
great undertaking, but when the details,
the care that has 10 he exercised for their
future growth and caution necessary to
have the final effect beautiful are con-
sdered the task becomes "A herculean one.
Aside from the trees that were planted
in the groves there are about ~, 900 from
II TO 10 inches high that are being planted
in the nurseries to be transplanted a few
y ears later.
The laying out of the trees at the Shell
burns Farms this spring is probably the
largest undertaking of its kind ever hand
led in this country, The order for l9J 900
trees from one concern In Illinois was
the largest, by far of any order ever re-
ceiNed by them. The entire cost OF pur-
and planting these trees will be
In the vicinity of $4,000 but the additional
beauty gained will be an ample reward
In all there are now about $4,000 Pine
trees on the farms.

Got b a ms Church Parade.

Among the changes wrought in New
York of late years there is one which
promises TO make that city in still an
other way rival of Paris and London,
rems rks the New York Times. Foreign
ers have never been able to understand
why it was considered by society bad
form to walk in Central park, a magniii-
cent garden in the heart Of the fashona-
BILE district and one which is far more
attractive than Hyde or st. James park,
and yet society turned the cold shoulder
upon it.
LondOn's most picturesque feature in
the full season is the church parade,
where in Hyde park. after church hours
and before luscheon. society turns out
en- masse. The London people still go to
the church on Sunday. and many of those
in the very Exclusive" New York sets
go to the country instead, but still there
are enough who remain in town to make
very respectable church parade.
Now that society is massing in the Six
ticth. Seventeen and Eightieth streets
on the east side, the park has become a
possibility on Sundays after church, and

In ITS HOUR OF DISTRESS
THE REPUBLICANS WILL COME To
TIKI. AID OF THE CITY,
VIII Pass Appropriation
Ordinance for S54.0oO at Re-
quest of Controllers

The City Council will meet IN special ses-
sion to-night to receive an ordnance ard
recommendation from the city controller.
calling for an appropriation of $1,000. TO
be secured by temporary loan. TO tide the
city through its present financial crisis.
Republican councilmen have not caucused
on the question. but. it is said. they nearly
all are in favor of passing the ordinance,
as the city administration is in desperate
condition TO meet its debts.
There was a little talk yesterday of sus-
pending the rules at tc-night's special meet
ing and passing the ordinance at once, but
this may not be done. The ordinance may
be referred to the finance committee and
action taken on 1t during the week. so that
a report can be made next Monday night
at the regular session of the Council.
AT the last regular meeting the Council
passed an ordinance appropriating a little
over SIG, 0O0 and providing for the city con-
troller to use the bridge funds, but he re-
fuses to do this. The controller asked for
$4,000 and the $4,000 to be asked for to-
night will be the balance he deems neces-
sary TO pay current expenses Ii the Coun-
Gil makes the appropriation IL will not be
necessary for the Board of Public Works
to discontinue 500 electric lights, street
sprinkling and street sweeping, etc., as II
threatened to do.
The Republican councilmen say that the
people of Indianapolis now realize the Dem
ocratic city administration has not beer
competent to handle the affairs of the city
on an economical basis and has plunged the
city into debt. but as it is now in desperate
circumstances and the welfare OF the com,
munity is at stake they will come TO the
aid of the Democrats and help them out OF
the difficulty.

AGAINST PATRoLMAN LAwL0R.
Friends of Eugene r.. Yountx Make
Serious Charges.

Eugene r. Yountz. arrested yesterday by
Patrolman Lawlor and charged with
drunkenness and resisting an officer, and
his friends, ]. L. Stowe. Harry Washburn
and Spencer Garner, all of No. 425 West
Maryland street, complained bitterly OF the
treatment of Yountz by Lawlor. Before
being locked up at police headquarters
Yountz had a cash two and one-half inches
long in his head sewed up by DR.. Nc
Gaughey, of the City Dispensary. The
cash. which was deep and caused a loss of
Yountz and his friends say he was stand
ing in the door of the livery stable at No.
425 West Maryland street when Lawlor
passed on the opposite side of the street.
Yountz was talking in a rather loud man
ner and ii was thought Lawlor took some
of the remarks as applied TO him. He went
across the street and pulled Hountz from a
according to the statements of YountZ,
Stowe, W~ashburn, Garner, Mrs. Clark, lIv-
ing across the street, Mrs. Hall and VIII
liam Eaton, who lives near the stable, be-
gan beating Yountz on the head with his
club and without provocation. They said
Yountz begged Lawlor to stop, and when
he did accompanied the policeman peace
ably to the patrol box, where the wagon
was called. DR.. McGaughey said he was
unable to detect the odor of liquor on
Yountz's breath while he was sewing up
the cash, and Stowe and others who were
with him insisted that Yountz was not IN
toXicated.
Lawlor could not be seen last night for
his version Of the affair. The friends OF
YountZ at once secured his release on bond
and say they will file charges with the
board against Lawlor and probably take
further means of redress.
