tives of the Progressive party from
a score of States met here to-day to
protest against the action of the Bull
Moose National Committee in endors-
ing Charles E. Hughes for president
in Chicago, June 26, and consider the
advisability of calling another cohven-
ton to fill the vacancy in it's national
ticket caused by the declination of
Theodore Roosevelt to accept the
nomination for president The con-
ference was called by John NJ. Parker
of Louisiana, nominee of the Progress
sive party for vice-president.
Representatives or one element Of
the party led by Judge Albert D.
Nortoni of st. Louis. were outspoken
for the reassembling of the Progress
sive national convention to nominate
a candidate for president to run with
Parker
Another faction regarded this plan
as impracticable ana was prepared
to urge issuance of a call for a new
convention to complete the national
ticket. Influential Bull Moose leaders
from several States expressed them
selves as opposed to both these plans.

ing With City Beautiful"
Plan at Shimmell

If, in the near future, Harrisburg's
host of school boys and girls do not
fully appreciate the worth of the "city
beautiful" idea, it will not be for lack
of practicable lesson constantly be-
fore their eyes in the way of floral
adornment of the school grounds.
An attractive scheme of grass, flow
er. and shrubbery planting has been
planned by the school board and the
idea is now being eXperim with
around the Shimmell building
The same method will be followed in
the floral and shrubbery adornment of
the new w. S. Steele grounds in the
upper end of the city if the Shimmell
experiment is productive of expected
results. The upper end grounds, how
ever will probably not be planted be-
fore next year. And then if the idea
buildings of the city will be similarly
treated.
While the plan primarily is to incul-
cate in the minds of the children a
| thorough appreciation of the beauties
OF nature, practical first-hand knowl-
edge of botany, and sense of protection
! for trees and flowers, there is another
end toward which the school authori-
ties have been working for the last few
years-the establishing of outdoor
community center gathering places.
The whole planting movement is the
result of the united efforts of President
A. Carson Stamm and School Director
Harry A. Boyer. chairman of the
buildings and grounds committee.
The Planting Scheme.
The Shimmell school occupies two
plots of ground at Seventeenth and
Catherine streets, one of which is
practically taken up by the building,
the other, by the playground. Around
the building grass. and the heartier
type of Towering shrub, has been
planted. On the playground section
there will be towering shrubs of the
huskier varieties although the colorful
effect will be given the right of way.
On this plot, too, there will be trees.
There, too, is where the coming out
door social center idea is to have a
chance to bud.
Benches will be placed about under
the trees for the people of the neigh
borhood who may wish to stroll over
in the evenings and rest or chat amid
the prettier surroundings!
The boys and girls sides of the
playground will be divided by a hedge
of heavier shrubs, such as lilacs and
similar plants. No fences will enclose
any portion of the school grounds.
Our whole idea explained Chair
man Harry A. Boyer in discussing the
subject to-day, lis to beautify the
grounds in way that will suggest its
own botanical lesson in a practical
way while at the same time, the child
will learn to be thoughtful and care
full of the flowers and shrubs. If the
experiment works out as we believe it
will, the Steele grounds will be treated
similarly next year and the other
buildings will be improved in the same
way. The scheme is very close to
President Stamm's heart, and the
other directors are equally enthusiastic.
And" concluded Mr.. Boyer smilingly,
from all neighborhood indications,
the youngsters themselves are surely
taking to it. admirably"

dismissed the appeal a statement of
what these sixty witnesses would have
testified was furnished the home office,
and in view of that fact his counsel
confidently expected a reprieve," Mr..
Doyle said.
