FOR A CITY BEAUTIFUL
Plans Are Laid for Carrying Out n
PhiInnthrOpic Trust.

New York, Dec. 6.-The American
Institute for Social Service made pub
lie to-day a plan which the institute
was invited to submit for the carry
ing out of the Carnegie Dumferline
trust.
The plan provides for a regional
museum, a district for city beau
tiful," a social center a department
of civics boys and girls flower gar
dens, children's Fairgrounds and out
door gymnastics, holiday tours and
historic pilgrimages, get-together
clubs" and a system of awards and
erizes.
The general outline of a "city beau
tiful' suggests that somewhere on the
confines of the park land should be set
aside tract on which can be built
model dwellings, of diversified architec-
ture, with due regard to individual
needs. Flower gardens are to be about
the houses, and no fences will be al
lowed to divide the yards. The "social
center" is to be a large building for
common use as a recreation ground, hall
for entertainments and as a general
meeting place.

SHOVEL WORKS BURN.
1t Is Said the Loss Will Reach Close
Upon $25O,OOO.

Pittsburg, Dec. 6.-The Hubbard
Shovel Works, one of the largest man.
ufactories of it's kind in the country,
employing close to 1000 men, and COW
ering a ground space of nearly five
acres in Butler street, near the Sharps-
burg bridge, was almost totally de-
stroyed by fire tonight.
Before the fire department arrived
the structures were a mass of flames,
and as the water supply was short,
it was but a short time until the plant
was almost completely wiped out.
j. w. Hubbard, president of the
Hubbard Shovel Company. says the
loss will reach between 100000 and
$3.50, 900, with but little insurance.
At 1870 o'clock the fire was under
control, having been confined to the
Hubbard plant. This is the second
time within two years that the plant
has been burned, and both times the
lack of water was mainly the cause for
it's destruction.

.Prophet" stand Ready to Aid
Him Financially.
Chicago, Dec. 6.-By a stroke of di-
plomacy, John Alexander Dowie has
established harmony between Zion, it's
receivers and its creditors in and out

sis and to end the receivership.
At a conference to-day between the
attorneys representing the heaviest

valued lions estate at $4,000, 900 above
all liabilities. He exhibited large or

tor seventy-four carloads of candy

draft for $4,000 from wealthy we'll
wisher and declared he would draw
for $4,000 more on one of lions
friends in Wisconsin.
On this showing he offered to settle
all urgent claims in cash and to put
Zion on a cash basis in all future deal
ings with the outside world. With his
heaviest creditors out of the way, he
said his debts demanding immediate
payment would not amount to more
than $150,00O Samuel Stevenson's judg-
ment notes for $1OC, 900 are not yet due.
Mr.. Dowie's presentation of figures
and his offers of settlement were sat
isfactory to the attorneys. His plan
will be submitted tomorrow to meet
ing of the receivers, their attorneys and
the attorneys for his creditors, and 1t
is believed will be accepted. In that
event receivers and all creditors will
join hands with Dowie in a plea to
Judge Kohlsaat to dismiss the pend
ing litigation and permit Dowie free
dom to gather funds and settle obli-
cations

the American government beyond the
declaration that the Bogota government
was prepared to begin negotiations for
a new canal treaty at the earliest pos
sible moment.
Elections for members of the cleo
toral colleges, by whom a new presi-
dent will be chosen, will take place

checks had been taken. The burglars
evidently became frightened, for they

The robbers entered the store through
the roof. They piled blankets and a
large quantity Of cloth before the safe
to deaden the sound. This they did so
well that though two night watchmen
are on guard at a store not seventy
yards away and two men stay in a
drug store. no further away, which is
open all night, none of those nor the
plosion.
The method of the robbers at Jack
