UNDERWOOD TO-
TALK TARIFF
TO WILSON

Washington, d. c., Dec. 3o.--The
visit of Oscar w. Underwood, demo
cratic leader of the house, to Presi-
dent-elect Wilson at Princeton to-
morrow, is expected to result in gen
eral understanding between the in
coming democratic executive and the
democratic organization of the house
as to the early plans for tariff hear
ings and tariff revision.
Mr.. Underwood has conferred at
length with his colleages on the
ways and means committee, of which
he is chairman, and with a majority
OF the democratic members Of the
house. He is prepared to outline to
Governor Wilson, the general scheme
OF revision as it will be offered to
the new congress when the extra ses-
sion convenes next spring.
1t is understood that no effort will
be made to reach an agreement for
specific basis of new tariff rates, or to
outline exactly what will be done with
each schedule and item of the big
revenue producing law. The demo-
cratic leaders intend to give con-
sumers and producers the opportunity
to present their views during Jnauary
and to prepare the tariff revision bills
after these views have been present
ed and considered.

an investigation to secure for the

SHARP DECLINES
IN WALL STREET

New York, n. Y. Dec. 30.--Profes'
seional operators favored the short
side of the market today and sold the
active issues literally for a time, with
resultant sharp decline. In addition
there was scattered liquidation IN
some of the minor speculations and
high class investment stocks. Ameri.
can Express fell 10 points to its lowest
figure in dozen years. Little OUTSIDE
interest was apparent, and after the
floor traders had ceased selling, the
marked rallied easily. Amalgamated
displayed conspicuous strength. There
was less tension in the bond market
and call loans opened at 6 per cent.
Bonds were irregular.
Copper stocks rose smartly on the
announcement that large orders had
teen taken for the metal at II 3-4c.
Amalgamated touched z. General

THREE EVENTS MAY
INFLUENCE ACTION
OF PEACE ENJOYS

HOUSE OF COMMONS AND FINALLY RESUMPTION OF MEETINGS OF
EUROPEAN AMBASSADORS FROM WHICH MAY COME THE Olive

IS RUSSIAS WARNING

not met with much success. The sit
uation seems to be that Turkey has
been told she will be financed when
peace has been concluded but that no
funds will be forthcoming until then.
TURKS SPAR FOR TIME.
London, Dec. 0.--The Turkish en-
voys informed the representatives OF
the Balkan nations that their instruc-
tions were incomplete and that a fur.
ther reference to Constantinople was
necessary. They intimated that they
would be in a position to reconsider
their original proposals regarding
Macedonia.
The Turkish plenipotentiary, Rechad
Pasha, then proposed that the confer
ence submit most of the matters con-
tanned in the Turkish counter-propos-
ais to the meditation of the great pow
ers.
The delegates of the Balkan allies
were rather aghast at the suddenness
and informality with which such an
important proposition was introduced
and objected.
That is not the way to present
such a far-reaching proposal the Bal
kan ENJOYS calculated in chorus.
The Turks retorted that if greater
formalitiy were required it would be
necessary to adjourn SO the delegates
separated until Wednesday when the
Turks have undertaken to present
their new plan in formal way.

, London, Dec. 3O.--The peace con
ference between the delegates of the
Balkan states and of the Turkish EN-
pire assembled at o'clock this after
noon in st. James palace for its sew
enth session. DR.. S. Daneff, speaker
of the Bulgarian parliament, presided
1t is expected here that the course
! of the negotiations may be Influenced
i by three events.
1 The first of these is the death OF
the German foreign secretary, Alfred
Won kiderln-Waechter which com
| ing soon after that Of Baron Marshal
Won Bieberstein, formerly German am
bassador at Constantiuople, and after
wards at London, deprives Turkey of
two valuable supporters and con-
vnced upholders of the maintenance
of the Ottoman empire.
Kderlin-Waechter was supposed to
have been the instigator of the Aus
trian Hungary armaments on the Bal
kan frontier.
The second occurrence is the reas-
sembling of the house of commons to-
day Although Sir Edward Grey, the
British foreign secretary is deter
mined to maintain Great Britan's
strict neutrality, he cannot prevent
members of the house asking ques-
tions which show the trend of public
opinion. Turkey has many sympa'
thizers here. This is partly due to the
traditional British antagonism toward
Russia and partly to the recollection
o. the Crimean war when the Turkish
and British troops fought together as
allies.
The third occurrence is the resump-
ton of the meetings of the European
ambassadors, from which may come
tie olive branch that has been vainly
sought by the peace ENJOYS.
u Constantinople, Dec. 30.-The am
bassadors of most of the European
powers have advised the Ottoman
government to make an effort to come
to terms of the Balkan allies.
The Russian ambassador here in
particular coupled his advice with
warning as to the dangerous conse-
quences of delay in view Of the situa-
tion is Asia Minor.
The agitation in the army in favor
of resumption of hostilities con-
tinues.
NO MONEY FOR TURKS.
London, Dec. 30.-The widely pub
lished report that Turkey has succeed
ed in negotiating loan in London is
discredited here. 1t was rumored that
a number of British bankers had con-
sented to lend the Ottoman govern
ment $100,O00,000 on condition that
Turkey would grant autonomous gov
ernment to the Hebrews in Palestine.
1t is pointed out that the Ottoman
government has been trying to place
short terms treasury bills, bearing
high interest but these efforts have

Establishment of Special Garden
for the Purpose.

The especial necessity of a botan-
ical garden must appeal to us all.
Every one having SO or 100-foot lot,
who is trying to establish beautiful
home among us, must have wished at
some time to make this home attrac.
tive by planting choice trees and
shrubs about it, and would like the
plants to be little different, perhaps
more beautiful, than the common ones
to be seen around him. Not, however,
having seen more than an occasional
tree in a neighbours garden that he
particularly fancies. and having no
means of learning the correct name
he must be content with what the
nurseryman chooses to offer him, and
If it should be some new and rare
variety, he is ignorant as to what size
it will attain, whether he will like the
flowers, what space 1t will require to
fully develop its individual beauty
and under what conditions it will
flourish.
All these questions would be an
swered by a visit to a botanical gar
den, which would be botanical die
tionary with the most exquisite and
truthful colored plates, colored by the
hand of nature, A lettered board

MAKING THE CITY BEAUTIFUL
Some New Ideas That Have Been
Adopted by the Municipalities
Of Europe.

European cities are discarding the
checkerboard street plan, says the
New York World. Paris led the way
In Napoleon Ills time when Baron
Haussmann, project Of the Seine,
build great bouleyards and avenues by
the hundred. laid out diagonal avenues
between important points and con-
structed engirdling boulevards. The
sum Of $240,000,000 was spent In this
work, and last year 1t was decided to
devote SITE, 100000 more thereto.
London has done a similar but
smaller work to King The
German cities are following neither
the checkerboard nor the radial ave-
nue., ring boulevard plan. Their new
streets wind perceptibly so as to open
fresh vistas and permit of collateral
effects of parking and statuary.
Instead of locating their public
buildings at random, the capitals of
Europe arrange them with relation to
each other and to some park, open
space or boulevard, so that they con-
tribute to one central effect. The fin
est Is the Ringstrasse of Vienne, and
other notable examples are Berlin's
Inter den Linden and Lustgarten,
Moscows Kremlin, Dresden's Twin
ger, the Louvre region Of Paris and
the Grande Place of Brussels.
In Dresden citizens have undertake
en- to induce every landlord and ten
ant to decorate yards. buildings and
easements with plants, vines, shrubs
and window boxes. The authorities
have co-operated by decorating NUM-
cipal buildings, and at small expen-
diture the summer aspect of the city
has been transformed.
The color sense has been INDUCED
in all Russian cities. Building ex-
teriors are of plaster to protect the
brick from the frost, and every year
these are repaired and repainted. and
red, blue, buff, green, white and gilt
diversified with mosaics are success
fully employed. #..-
Every important European city has
regulations restricting the height of
buildings, the width of balconies, the
projection of cornices, the size of win
dows, and the character of lamps,
signs. awnings. fences and doorways

The trees upon each street should
be of one kind. equal distances apart
and, If in ordinary parkways. in a
straight line. When we get really
sensible in street building we shall
have narrow driveways in residence

parkways, Then shall we have tnfor.
