evenly mile march overland through
he rough country from Marathon TO
he border would be necessary. and

Even il the protest would have
any effect. however, which is doubt

Hartman. covering the period from
ROosevelt's succession as president in
1901 until the Hartman difficulties
With him in 1904, were placed as
evidence today before the senate
committee investigating campaign
contributions Out of a score of let
ters, however, covering every subject
from exhibits and pictures to the ap-
0ointment of federal judges and ter
ritorial governors, the committee was
able to get little light upon the sub
ject of contributions or whether
Roosevelt specifically asked Harri-
nan in 1904 to raise FUND of two
hundred and forty thousand dollars.
G. c. TegethOtoff. now the agent
Of the Hartman estate, and Charles

TO REMOVE POLES
FROM PHILADELPHIA
Move to Spend $4,000 in Effort to
Rid Streets Of All Poles Carrying
Electric wires.

philadelphia, Pa. Sept. 30.-An ef-
fort will be made to provide funds
for the removal of all city poles car
rying electric wires within the near
future. For this purpose an appropria-
tion of $4,000 will be asked for next
year and policy adopted Of putting
all extensions of the present fire and
police system underground. The ad-
ministration is also considering the
advisability Of preventing the erection
OF additional poles by corporation
and requiring that those row stai d.
ing be removed In 1882 an ord:1 zee
was passed requiring al corpora
tions to remove poles on or before
1886. The corporations paid no at
tention to the ordinance unit, 1885,
when they had a resolution passed
by councils instructing the eiactri-
cal bureau to suspend the enforce
ment of the ordinance "for -he re
sent" No action has been taken since
by councils in reference to poles In
1908 the city had 6133 poles and the
corporations 3d. ,9S7 The city now has
about 5000 poles and the corpora
tions 2,562 These arc exclusive of
trolley poles, which number 10000.

ALL POPLAR TREES
ARE CONDEMNED
In Ohio City-They Harbor Millions
or Worms And Must Be Cut Down
Within Year.

Barberton, o. Sept 30.-Owing to
an ordinance passed by council year
ago the poplar trees in this city
have one more year to live. The ord
nance was passed last September and
the property owners two years
to dispose of all poplar trees in the
city About half of the trees in town
have been cut down and replaced
by naples. THE trees will all have
to come down within the next year, I"
said Service Director Erase. and
would advise that they be disposed
Of at once, as the trees, in many
places are breeding millions of worms
which are killing some Of the shade
trees in the city and in places the
roots are tearing up the sidewalks.
The poplar trees were originally set
out in the early days of the city
by the Barberton Land & Improve
ment Company because they were
fast growers. Now there are humid
reds of them in the city The worst
fault, besides the roots tearing up the
stone sidewalks, is the millions Of
bugs which breed in the bark of
this species of trees, and then spread
to surrounding foliage and in some
cases completely destroy it,
