5000 PAINTINGS MADE
IN BISHOPS GARDEN

Five thousand permanent paintings
have been made in the Bishops Gar
den at the National Cathedral during
the last eight years, according to
the report made yesterday by Mrs.
G. c. F. Bratenahl, president of All
Hallows Guild, at the meeting in the
Bishops Garden, to celebrate the
spring planting.
The guild was organized under
Bishop Harding to develop a suitable
setting in trees, shrubbery and flow
ers for the National Cathedral at Mt.
st. Alban and has been carrying out
the plans of Frederick Law Olmstead,
landscape gardner of Brookline. Mrs
Bratenahl reported to the guild that
all his detailed instructions have been
carried out and plans are being pre-
pared for the lower garden to de-
velop the native shrubbery and flow
ers, such as dogwood, wild azalea and
abutus.
The meeting marked the completion
Of the upper garden, and two years
will be required to establish plant
ings in the lower garden. The future
program Of the guild calls for the
development of the entire sixty-five
acres OF tne Cathedral Closc INTO one
of ehe big gGrden spots of the city.
The report was made on the me-
mortal of All-Hallows Guild to Bishop
Harding. A sum of $500 has been col
lected from the members for the pur-
chase of a box tree for the bishops
garden and a bronze tablet to be
placed on the wall. Work on the
completion of the wall of the bish-
ops garden was started today SO as
to seEregate it from the rest of the
grounds and give it privacy.
Attention was called to the increas-
ing value of the investment of the ap-
prentice gardeners in yew, holly, box,
thorn, azaleas and other paintings.
For instance, the Dolly Madison box
tree at the corner of the bishops
house, which was planted by Mrs.
NouFye, q former owner of the hill
side, from 4 slip from the inaugural
bouquet OF Dolly Madison. is now
valued at $5S.

Willingness of the associated power

today's Senate agriculture committees
hearing by Z. A. Yates. general man
ager OF the Alabama Power Company
Yates explained this proposal would
depend upon perpetual government
ownership and operation, and in effect
would be a modification Of the Norris
bill which provides for government
operation of the property.
: IF the southern states are ever to
get hydro power 1t must come from
Muscle Shoals through the co-orJli-

of Muscle Shoals with the other power

CHOICE OF HERR|OI
AS PREMIER HELD
CERTAIN
Socialists Decline to Take
Cabinet Posts, But Will
Vote With Radicals.
BY PAUL SCOTT MOWRER.

BY Cable TO The Star and Chicago Daily
News. Copyright. 1924.
PARIS, May 15.-It is now a prac-
tical certainty that Edouard Her
riot, leader Of the radical party, will
be the next premier of France.
The political event of the day is
the decision of the Socialist leaders
who fought the elections in close al
lance with the Radicals not to par
ticipate in a Radical government, but
at the same time to give this govern
ment their full support. This means
there will be no Socialist ministers,
but that the socialists will vote with
the Radicals, thus assuring the Left
strong majority.
The decision of the Socialists will
he confirmed in a party congress to
be held June l and 2. Prognostica-
tions of the policies of the oew gov
eminent still are premature.
To Protect French Interests.
NJ. Herriot has left Lyon, of which
he is mayor. and has gone into tenn
porary retirement in the country. The
general opinion is that international
agreements looking to execution of
the experts plan and general pacifi-
cation of Europe will be facilitated,
but it doubtless would be mistake
to assume that the Radicals are any
more willing to sacrifice vital French
interests than NJ. Poincare himself.
For example, it is improbable that
the Ruhr will be evacuated until after
a full general settlement. In the in
terror the Radicals probably will have
some difficulty in resisting the pres
sure they will be under to vote in ac-
cordance with a demagogic policy.
Financial circles have a favorable
impression of the probable new for
eign policy, but an unfavorable i'm:
preston of the probable new financia
policies, hence they are remaining In
q state of cautious expectancy.
1t is doubtless unnecessary to re-
call to American readers that the
Radicals held power in France for
wears before the war and are radical
chiefly in name. Even the French So
cialists are relatively moderate
party, especially since the communls'
clement seeded angrily from the
party a couple of years ago.
