tree census in the city. started a
few years ago and discontinued

son Hill district.

weeks has been busy directing the
trimming and care of elm trees in

Efforts will be made, il is under

paign in the fall. Many inquiries

received, and some complaints have
been investigated also. Upon in
specting a number of trees in the
city, Mr.. Baltimore said that he
found them to be suffering from
scale, but so far it has caused no
great damage. Trees in the city
parks probably will be sprayed next

considerable value, as well as a
number of other articles, were
taken from the home of H. j. Will
liams, 1717 State street. by rob-
bers last evening, it was reported to
the Harrisburg police department
to-day. The exact value of the arti-
| cles taken from the Williams resi-
dence could not be stated.
Included among the silverware
taken were one-half dozen knives
and forks in a folder: two dozen
tea spoons, one-half dozen large
table spoons, one-half dozen soup
spoons. four dozen bouillon spoons,
one half dozen forks, four dozen af-
ter-dinner spoons, two dozen odd
spoons, bearing the names of diff
ferent towns and dates together with
one dozen fruit knives. Some of
the spoons bear initials.
A large basket was taken from the
pantry in which the silverware was
found, presumably to carry it and
| the other articles taken away. In
addition were four quartz of vari-
Gus liquors, including sloe gin. port
wine and blackberry brandy, and one
dozen bananas were taken.
Entrance to the Williams resi-
dence was gained through an un-
/ locked pantry window on the first
floor. The window is never lock-
ed" it was reported to the police
to-day.
In practically every robbery in the
long string reported to police Off
cials within the past several weeks,
entrance has been gained through
unlocked windows of the first floor.
Little if any noise is made in this
manner and the intruders are able
to work entirely undisturbed, police
authorities say. Articles of minor
value have been taken by intruders
in the other cases, and this is the
first time that the booty has been
of any considerable value.

Patriot Company Departs
From Combination Rate
Policy For Advertising


City commissioners and merchants
throughout the city were somewhat
surprised at the bids submitted yes
terday by the Patriot Company for
city advertising at the councilmanic
meeting. Separate bids were sub
mitted for the morning and evening
publications permitting the choice
of either paper at half the combin-
alton rate charged for publication
in both papers.
This is a radical departure from
the Patriot Company's generally un-
derstood rule of requiring adver-
tisers to pay a combination rate COW
ering publication in both morning
and evening editions, and refusing to
give them the option of using either
one or the other edition at single
rate.

Months, and Speaking Tour
Must Be Delayed For Week
GERMAN GOVERNMENT
TO ACCEPT PEACE PACT
By Associated Press.

Washington, July 9.-President
Wilson returned to his desk to-day
after an absence of four months at
the Peace Conference, to find such
a mass of official business that 1T
probably will be two weeks before
he can start on his tour of the coun-
try, speaking for the Peace Treaty
and the League of Nations.
Plans for the trip have not yet
been completed. but it was said at
the White House that the President
would so time his schedule as 70
reach the Pacific coast at the time
of the arrival there of the newly
created Pacific fleet.
Three big Army trucks loaded
with trunks and boxes arrived at
the White House before the offices
were opened. The boxes contained
official papers and documents relat-
ing to the peace negotiations. A
large staff of clerks Immediately set
to work to put the documents in
order.
Ready to Speak
President Wilson was represented
as being ready to place himself at
the disposal of the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee or other COM
mittees of Congress to answer any
questions concerning the Peace
Treaty and the League of Nations
which he will present to the Senate
tomorrow in person.
The President remained in bed
late to-day, resting after his trip
home. Rear Admiral Cary L. Gray
son, hisfpersonal physician, said the
President is in splendid health.
Going to his office shortly before
IL o'clock, the President summoned
Secretary Tumulty and they spent
some time mapping out program
of work. Most pressing of the many
matters before the President were
the annual appropriation bills re-
Gently passed by Congress. In con-
sidering the agricultural bill, the
Executive had before him manS
, requests that he veto the measure
because of the order repeating th'
daylight saving law.
The President remained steadily
at work for several hours and wal
! not interrupted. At noon it was sale
! that none of the bills before him hac
| been signed. 1t was expected, how
/ ever, that his signature would be at
F., tached to a number of them before
the end of the day.
