STIMULATE TREE. PLANTING
Commission Will Seek to Have People
Plant Trees Along the Curbs of New
Streets in the City.-Expect to Have
Plants for all Public Grounds.

The board of park commissioners
met at the city hall on Friday after
noon and formally accepted the new
municipal greenhouse at the corner of
Ridge and Pearl streets and it will
be turned over to the superintendent
of parks at once and stocked with
plants which will be started for use
in the parks of the city during the
coming year. The total cost of the
greenhouse including the heating plant
was 81 ATS. The cost Of stocking the
greenhouse will be decidedly small as
Park superintendent is thrifty and be-
fore the cold set in he took all Of the
plants out of the parks and with care
full handling a sufficient number Of
"slips' can be secured to provide
thousands of geraniums and other
plants for the various public grounds
in the city for next year.
It is the plan of the commission to
decorate more parks next year and it
is thought that with the municipal
greenhouse it will be possible for the
city to furnish flower beds not only
for the parks and the grounds about
the various public buildings in the city
but also for the school grounds. Sup
erintendent Schwanke has already
planted thousands Of bulbs in the
various parks and the early spring will
find these places beautiful with tn
lips, narcissis, hyacinths and other
flowers. Most of the bulbs planted
We're furnished to the superintendent
by members of the park commission

With the coming of the spring
weather it Is the plan of the commits,
sion to make an effort to stimulate

never been planted with trees and the

Some people are determined not to
let Christopher Columbus rest in
peace. Not long ago celebrated
Jewish rabbi insisted that the great
explorer was Jew, and now comes
member Of the Royal Geographical
society with the claim that Columbus
was Spaniard and not an Italian.
Fhe Spanish scientist says that the
veil OF mystery that has for four CEN
turtles enshrouded the cradle of Co
lumbus has at last been torn aside to
reveal him without doubt or argument
as a Spaniard. DR.. Horta says that
the Italian lineage of the discoverer
was accepted because there was no
authentic, respectable and authorized
historic documents" to prove to the
contrary On the other hand, the
Spanish historian says the only &C.
cepted proof of the Italian birth of
Columbus was his own statement that
he was born in Genoa.

Officials IF the Chicago and
Milwaukee Reduce Num-
Der of Trains on Line
ONE LIMITED is DROPPED
Dining Car Service of the Company is
Also to be Omitted in the Future but
it May be Restored After the Road
Gets Under New Management.

The Chicago and Milwaukee Elec-
trio Railway Company is reducing ex-
penses and announcement was made
today that less frequent train service
would be given on the main line of
the company. Today the train leaving
Milwaukee at $3.50 and reaching Ke-
nosha at 9:32 was omitted. This is
one of the limited trains of the COM
pany. This afternoon the train which
formerly left here at 1858 was not in
evidence. The local agent of the COM
pany declares that he has not been
advised that any other trains will be
taken off, but at Evanston it is said
that the train leaving for the north
at 8:15 a. m. and one of the afternoon
south bound trains would soon be
eliminated by the company.
Although it was emphatically denied
by Chicago officials, the rumor persists
that the reduction Of the present
schedule of train service between
Evanston and Milwaukee is due to the
conditions resulting from the decision
of Judge Lands Thursday, setting
aside the prior sale of the properties.
The notice Of the change in schedule
was posted on January /, but the of
fcials were practically certain that the
court decision would be adverse and
have decided to reduce the expense I'M
til the affairs of the company are
Strengthened out.
When interviewed the manager stat
ed that the change in service was
merely the putting on Of the regular
winter schedule, but as the winter is
quite old and the present schedule went
into effect on November /, it is be-
lieved that something other than
threatened cold weather had to do
with the change. The schedule as post
ed takes effect January Z, and reduces
the service between Chicago and Mil
waukee by one half. The service to
Waukegan is also reduced.
The men who have been on the regu-
lar runs will be put on the extra list
and will be kept on regular pay. This
schedule will probably continue until
April l, when better service will be
introduced.
The dining car service, which has
been taken of, will be put back on
in the near future. No Improvement
in the accommodations will be made
until the affairs of the road are
Strengthened out and it is taken out of
the receivers hands. The decision of
the court Thursday, according to the
authorities, delayed the time when the
road can operate without a receiver.

OPEN 4 gymnasium
Park Avenue Church to En-
courage Athletic Sports
Among It's Members.
TO HAVE REGULAR CLASSES

!
The finishing touches are being APP
Piled to the new gymnasium at the
Park Avenue NJ. f. Church this week
and all is in readiness for the open
ing of this latest phase of church work
in the city
The gymnasium is modern in all its
equipment for indoor games and gym
nastic exercises. In addition to the
shower baths and other features in
connection with athletics the room is
well appointed for social affairs and
other functions relative to church
work.
The use of the gymnasium for exer-
else, during the different hours of the
day will be governed by a schedule
carefully arranged by the athletic
committee which will enable every
member of the church and Sunday
school to enjoy the use of the gym for
at least one period each week.
The gymnasium classes are arrang-
ed according to age and sex, there will
be weekly meeting for each class at
an appointed hour under the supervi-
sion of an instructor.
With the addition of gymnasium
to the present equipment, the Park
Avenue M. E. Church is adding much
to her prestige as leader of Metho-
dism in the state. No hours in youth
are fraught with more Importance to
later life than those which are spent
at play. Christian principles instilled
in these moments of relaxation form a
lasting impression.
Basket ball will be an interesting
feature of the gymnastic activities.
A girls team is being planned and the
young men have already organized a
strong team. An interesting function
has been arranged for this evening at
which time the basket ball team will
hold open house in the gymnasium.
The Grand Avenue basket ball team of
Racine will be on hand with a large
band of supporters, led by Rev. Cart
wright. After some formal ceremonies
the two teams will get together for
the first game on the new floor.
No admission will be charged and
all who wish to visit the new gym
are cordially invited tonight.

When Money is Dear.

That all money was loaned at
twenty per cent in New York at the
close Of a year during which specula-
ton was at a low ebb is chiefly in
teresting as suggesting what would
have happened if the bulls had realiz'
ed their benevolent intention Of get
ting stock market boom under way
early in the fall. Undoubtedly money
would then have gone to forty per cent,
"pubic" loaded with stocks would
have been shaken down, and the mar
ket would have experienced what con-
servative brokers call healthy re-
action '-meaning that the small fry
would have been wiped out.
Time loans on collateral were at six
per cent or a trife more; commercial
borrow ers paid six per cent. There
was just money enough to 60 round for
legitimate business and for the pur-
pose Of carrying securities at current
prices. If prices had been boosted by
large speculative movement this
scarcity Of money would have pricked
the bubble.
Three years and half ago cal loans
in New York were made at one and a
half per cent--time loans on collateral
at Two and half; commercial paper
was readily marketed at three per
cent. The banks, of course, were full

tion. We escaped the usual conse-
quence this time.
The stock Of national banknotes and
Of treasury notes outstanding
tuting the credit portion of our cur
rency--was only five per cent larger
in 1912, with time money over six per
cent, than in 1909, with money under
three per cent Probably, # any por-
tion of our currency is based on ere
dit, that is not an intelligent way of
handling it.
But the real disadvantages of in
elasticity arise more often from
periods of plethora, when idle money

FILES 100000 CLAIM.
Clark Rush of Indianapolis Seeks Large
Amount from the Durkee Estate.


Claims against the mythical estate
of Charles Durkee growing out of the
famous Durkee claims, are still being
fled in the county court and on Friday
a record claim was received from Clark
Rush, former resident of Indianapo-
lis, Ind. Rush claims the small sum of
$S,0oo,o 600 claiming that this amount
was assured to him under contract
made with Leonard c. BlaisdelI of
Champaign, ILL.,, in 1895. The claim is
based on the fact that Rush advanced
Blaisdell the sum of $4,000 to aid in
fighting for the Durkee millions in the
United States courts and for the furth.
er fact that he rendered services to
the attorney covering a period of Il
years. The contract shows that Bias
dell agreed to turn over to Rusl
S-256ths of all money realized from the
claims. Judge Taylor has accepted all
of these claims, but the claimants have
been informed that the chance of any
of them ever being collected is de.
cidedly remote. The total of claims
against the estate now on file is close
to $40,000,000 and all of them are bas.
ed on the Blaisdell contracts.
