TULIP TREES ONLY
IN MARKET STREET
Forester Mueller Officially Desig-
mates That Type For Highway
From Cameron Eastward

Tulip trees have been officially desig-
mated by City Forester Mueller for
planting in Market street from Cam
eron street eastward.
Twenty-Five or thirty years hence
the section of Harrisburg's business
street will be gorgeous in Spring and
summertime with masses of green
and deep yellow flowers of a type SINH
lar to the magnolia blossoms.
In discussing the problem. Forester
Mueller said that from now on when
ever tree is planted on the highway
the tulip will be selected. The healthy
trees that now exist along the street,
of course, will not be taken out until
they die or are destroyed in some
other way. This may mean under these
circumstances, he said, that the street
may not be lined with tulip trees for
a good many years to come. 1t is not
likely that any kind of trees will be
planted from Cameron street west
ward
While tulip trees will be used for
Market street, the red oak will be
adopted for Eighteenth street, Emer-
Id and Second streets. From time TO
time tie sections of streets that have
not been planted will be designated for
some particular type of tree.

APPEALS IN COAL TAX
CASES ARE UNDER WAY
President Judge Kunkel UphoIds
Anthracite Tax Act; Exception
Likely by Tuesday

President Judge George Kunkel last
night decided that the anthracite coal
tax of 1913 is constitutional, but it is
expected that immediate steps will be
taken to appeal the case to the Su-
preme Court of Pennsylvania, with a
possibility that the case may ultimately
be taken to the Supreme Court of the
United States through the claims of
the coal companies that IL is in vio-
lation OF the federal Constitution.
The effect of the decision of Judge
Kunkel, provided no appeal is taken,
would be to have the $4,000, 900 Of coal
tax collected at once. One-half of this
money would go to the Commonwealth
and the remainder would be divided
between the nine anthracite producing
counties. of which Dauphin is one.
The share of eaq1 county would be
determined on a basis of population
and when the county had received its
portion 1t would subdivide the money
among it's municipal divisions on a
basis of population. or this Harris
burg would get approximately S2,500
All OF the boroughs and townships of
the county would share. some of them
actually getting more cash than Lykens
or Williamstown, which produce the
bulk of the coal. while farming town.

The Gallipoh peninsula, which forms
the European side of the Dardanelles.

mainland by the British and French
forces. It is said to be no longer pos

towns of Gallipoli, at the further end
of the straits and Maidos which lies
on the straits about two-thirds of the
way down the peninsula.
Official advices have not made clear
the extent of the operations of the Bri-
tish and French forces. A British
statement of last night gave the i'm
preston that the fighting had been
restricted to the end of the peninsula,
across which it is said an entrench-
ed line has been established. From
several sources it has been reported
that the British also have crossed the
upper end of the peninsula. reaching
Gallipol. There is no confirmation
of this however, except in an official
German statement which said there
had been severe fighting for two days
at Gallipoli.
The Constantinople official reports
state that the Turks are making con-
sistent headway in their attacks
against the land and sea forces of the
allies.
The situation in Flanders shows lit

a further advance for the allies. The
