growth and some make . slender,

each year. In cutting back the last
years growth the top bud should be
left on the side Of the branch facing
the direction in which the growth
needs to be diverted. BY this method
there will be no difIlculty In shaping

All pruning and training possible
should be done while the trees are

Heney.

Hugh r Halbert declared the break
came as the result of the refusal OF
the majority in the committee to open
all evidence in the cases. Mr.. Hal
bert presented resolutions asking that
the temporary roll of the convention
be considered as only prima facie evil
dence of the right of delegates to sit;
and that all evidence, testimony and
the like be gone into.
He declared the committee refused
to do this and attempted to Gag
the minority by making rules that
would have left the action of the Ma

lobby and urged the Roosevelt con
testants to go to the Florentine room
