Chief of Forest Department No
Longer at Disposal of
the Administration.

WASHINGTON. March 24.-One OF
the best posts at the disposal of the
Wilson administration has been put
in the civil service. 1t IS the posi-
ton Of the chief of the forest serv-
ice, which pays $1,000 and which now
is held by Professor Henry S. Groves,
who succeeded Clifford Pinehot.
Official announcement was made at
the White House today that former
President Eliot, of Harvard. has de-
olined President Wilson's offer to be
ambassador TO Great Britain Mr.
Eliot wired his thanks, but said he
thought he could be of greater serv-
ice to the country at home working
in a familiar field, than abroad.
So far the President has picked no
one for London, 1t is understood,
however, that before the end of the
week he will make choice as to
that post and some other important
European embassies.

a bedpost in their home. at 81 WAY
erly avenue, on the night Of June 2S,
1912, was today sentenced to death in
the electric chair at the Trenton State
prison by Judge Harry V. Osborne.
The execution of the sentence is to
take place sometime during the week
beginning Sunday. April 81 Overton
heard the sentence condemning him to
death without culver.
Before imposing sentence, Judge
Osborne asked him if there was any
thing he desired to say. Overton
looked to Frank NJ. McDermit, his
counsel, who was standing near him,
for advice and the latter said there
was nothing to be said by or in behalf
of the prisoner.
Judge Osborne then in brief terms
pronounced sentence. and as he fin
ished with the words land may God
have mercy ON your SOUL" Overton
made sweeping motion With his
hand that took in both his counsel
McDermit, and Judge Osborne. and
said in loud. steady voice, Thank

That was his only remark and he
turned away from the bar of justice

CITY FAIRGROUNDS
OPEN FOR SEASON
Four Centres to Be Available to
Public From Early Morn
ing Until Night.

Without pomp or ceremony and &c
the great delight of children in al
sections of the city, the four city
Fairgrounds were formally opened
for the season. today Two attend.
ants have been placed in charge OF
each centre and they will be open
hereafter from early morning until
night The opening was directed by
]. Leonard Mason, supervisor Of the
system, who under the civil service
rating has the title of secretary to
the commission.
William Gaunt was reappointed as
general instructor/to divide his time
between the various centres. His
principal duty, however, Will be the
organization of boy scouts and boys
clubs. and to encourage interest in
athletics His first official act was
to notify the boys at the various CEN
tres to prepare and train themselves
for the spring athletic meet TO be held
under the auspices of the Playground
Commission within a short time.
Events will asb be provided in the
meet for girls.
Other reappointments made were
Miss Agnes r. Duffy, as. instructor
for girls. who was assigned to the
Oliver street grounds, and Miss Bes-
sic c. Smith, who was sent to the
Canal street centre. Although both
serve as instructors for girls, they
are dated by the Civil Service Com
mission as caretakers. Harry w.
Baldwin was reappointed as instruc-
tor at the Oliver street grounds, and
Joseph Espicato in a like capacity at
the Prince street centre.
New apparatus and play material
will be provided at all of the grounds.
II has already been ordered by the
commission, and will probably be
placed within the next few days.
Both the Canal and oliver street
grounds will resurfaced with sand,
loan or clay being used as a binder.
This is in line with the recommen-
dations of Mr. Mason. who contends
that cement or stone is too hard for
the children.
IT is likely that Miss Florence
Smith will take up her duties as
stenographer for the commission on
April 1. Miss Smith is at present
employed in a like capacity at the
City Hospital. but no opposition to
the transfer is likely to be made.

Commissioner Says He and

Despite Paving Difference.

Branding as an absolute falsehoCd
the statement that there had been a
severance of friendly relations be-
tween the mayor and himself, Com
missioner Charles f. Kraemer today
emphatically denied that there had
been any split.
Dr. Kraemer made his statement
following q conference with the
mayor which lasted almost an hour.
He admitted. however. that there
was difference of opinion regarding
the Broad street paving question,
but declared that he had made his
position quite clear to the mayor.
He pointed out that from the start
of the agitation for wood block he
had declared that he was open to
persuasion Further he declared that
he had been convinced and voted ac-
cordingly,
The mayor would have nothing to
say other than to ADMIT that DR..
Kraemer had paid him visit
DR. Kraemer assumed the attitude
that the rumor had been started with
an Interior motive in view, but just
what this was he was unable to Elk
plain. Asked about the alleged Incl
dent at the Friendly Sons dinner, DIR.
Kraemer smiled. He said that the
report that the mayor had ignored
him was untrue and beneath notice.

go out on the lawn among the chill

children, ranging from 4 months to
9 years, two boys and four girls and
they were all there.
They got up at o'clock to get
ready" exclaimed the secretary, and
they have been decorating their eggs

by the younger visitors were admitted
