Drummer AND
MANNING TO BE
HERE. MONDAY
Distinguished Landscape De-
signers Will Confer With
State Board
CLEARING PARK ZONES
Opposition Cries to Main Ex-
tension of Capitol Building
Eastward

Much interest is exhibited in Cap.
itol Hill and municipal circles in the
coming to Harrisburg next Monday of
Arnold w. Brunner of New York and
Warren II. Manning, of Boston, the
distinguished landscape designers who
have been retained by the State Board
OF Public Grounds and Buildings to
study the Capitol Park zone and sug-
gest a plan of permanent treatment.
Gradually the few remaining build
ings in the district east of the Capitol
are being eliminated, the Bay factory
building and other structures having
been advertised for sale next Satur-
day. 1t is expected that before next
summer the entire district will have
been cleared.
Messrs. Brunner and Manning have
already had several conferences and
inasmuch as Mr. Manning is respon-
sible for the city's park planning he
is in a position to be of great as
sistance to the Commonwealth. Mr..
/ Drummer has also visited the city sew
eraI times and is familiar with the
situation.
There has been some talk of an
extension of the Capitol Building
eastward to provide additional floor
space for departments occupying out
/ side quarters, but there is consider
| able opposition to the placing of
| buildings in the park area. 1t has
been suggested that State office build.
ings facing the park would better
solve the problem
While here the landscape experts
will consider the transformation of
| the old section of the park with
| view to increasing the width of the
streets upon all sides.

LAW WILL NOT
FORM CABINET
IS ASSERTION
English News Association
Claims He Has Declined Invi-
tation of King George
LOOK TO LLOYD GEORGE
Former War Secretary in Con-
ference With Monarch; Pre-
mier Asquith Resigns

London, Dec. g. The Westminster
Gazette says that A. Bonar Law has
declined the invitation of the King to
form a cabinet, and that presumably
David Lloyd George will be called on.
The Exchange Telegraph Company
says it has authority for the state
ment that Bonar Law has declined
the offer to form a government.
The King has sent for Lloyd George.
The public is awaiting with the
greatest interest the next step in the
political crisis. Ordinarily the selec-
ton by the King of a leader such as
Bonar Law to form a new minis
try would be taken as a solution but
from the first there was some doubt
whether the Unionist leader could
succeed in the task assigned to him,
or whether he could command the
support of a majority in the House
of Commons If he did form a cabinet.
Nationalist Opposed
Ehe Nationalists, who withdrew
their support from Premier AsQuith
because of his failure to carry out the
agreement made by Lloyd George for
bringing home rule into force imme-
diately, would hardly be likely to fol-
low a cabinet of which the Unionist
leader was the chief and in which
Sir Edward Carson was included. II
had been suggested their support
might be obtained by granting their
demands regarding Ireland and it was
even said Sir Edward was a party to
this, but the Ulster leader telegraphed
to his supporters in Belfast fiat de-
nial of the report, saying:

Inland Waterways as
Military Necessities in
War Times Are Urged

Washington, D. c., Dec. 6. - Inland
waterways as military necessities in
war times were advocated by Rear
Admiral William S. Benson, chief of
naval operations, in an address to-day
before the National Rivers and Har-
bors Congress which opened its three
day annual convention. Rivers of the
Middle West should be improved, he
declared, to assist in supplying the
army and navy in emergency with
wheat from the plains States and coal
from the Ohio, Pennsylvania and West
Virginia fields.
A continuous ship canal connecting
Boston with the New England sound,
the New York, Delaware and Chesa-
peake bays and the North Carolina
sound would save its own cost in fuel
economy and protection against ship
wrecks. Admiral Benson said, and in
addition, constitute one of the
greatest single steps we can possibly
take to make our eastern coast we'll
nigh impregnable."
