PARK BOARD TO ENFORCE RULES EVEN TO FINES Appeals to Pride Having Failed, Department Will Resort to Ordinance. TREE CARE PROMINENT Kindness and appeals to cltlc pride having failed to obtain response, G. E. Morgan, head of the special service of the city park department, declared today that it has become necessary to seek 6trlct enforcement of the city tree and shrubbery ordinance against citizens who hare Indulged in flagrant violations of it. Unless orders to remove dead and dangerous trees and in other ways comply with the ordinance are responded to within the near future from twelve to fifteen prosecutions will be started in City Court, Mr. Morgan said. Apparently there are few persons who realise that they are subject to arrest for failure to comply with the park department's tree and shrubbery r?gulatlons, the special service head stated. The ordinance granting the park department power to make 6uch regulations was passed by the city council in 1910. It - has never been seriously enforced until about a year ago when Mr. Morgan’s branch began a campaign to rid the city lawns of dead and dangerous trees. Penalty for violation of the ordinance is a fine of not more than $25 nor less than sl. ORDINANCE GRANTS POWER. The ordinance specifically grants the park board the power to “adopt and enforce rules, regulations and specifications for trimming, removal and planting and protection of all trees, shrubs, vlues, flowers, hedges and plants within the limits of any public street, alley, thoroughfare or lawn in said city, and shall have power to regulate and prescribe terms and conditions upon which permits to trim, remove or plant any such trees, shrubs, vines, flowers or plants within said city shall be granted.” It is made unlawful for any one to injure or destroy any natural growth on public property. The ordinance further states: That said board of nark commissioners shall hereafter be empowered and authorized to require the owner or occupant of property, abutting any street or alley, to remove or trim any tree, shrub, vine, flower or plant or part thereof, in front of the property of any such owner or occupant, which may ba dead or unsightly or in a dangerous condition or which may project over such street beyond the property line of such owner or occupant, to a height of ten (10) feet or less, according to size, or any tree, obstructing the free passage of pedestrians on the sidewalk, by first causing notice to be served upon such owner or occupant of the premises adjoining said street or alley ten (101 days prior to the time designated for the removal or trimming of any such tree, shrub, vine flower or plant. MAY REQUIRE PLANTING. And said board shall have power to require the owners or occupants of property abutting any street or alley to plant such trees, vines, flowers and plants in front of the property of any such owner or occupant as said board shall deem advisable, by first causing notice to be served upon such owner or occupant of the premises adjoining any street or alley in said city sixty (00) days prior to the time designated for the planting of such trees, vines, flowers or plants. If. after sixty (0) days from the service of such notice any such owner or occupant shall fall or refuse to so plant such trees, vines, flowers or plants, then said board of park commissioners may plant the same and the expense thereof shall become a lien against the adjoining property as provided by Section 234 of the act of the General Asembly of Indiana of 1905, entitled "in act concerning municipal corporations.” Sec. 4. It shall be unlawful for any person to engage in ihe business of planting, cutting, removing, trimming or spraying trees, shrubs, vines, etc., in the city of Indianapolis, without first procuring from the city controller on an application approved by the board of park commissioners, a license each year, authorizing any such person so to engage in the such business. And said boara of park commissioners shall not approve any such application without first being satisfied of the competency of the applicant to engage in such business. T'pon the issuance of such license by the city controller, the applicant shall pay n license foe of two dollars ($2.00). which shall entitle him to conduct any such business during the calendar year within which the license Is issued. The board of park commissioners within said city shall ha've the power to revoke any such license whenever it shall appear to such board that the licensee has violated any of the rules of the said board which may be adopted in accordance with the provisions of this ordinance, or has violated any ordinance of such city, or nny law of the State of Indiana, pertaining to the care, preservation, trimming or removal us trees, etc., in such city. RILES LAID DOWN BY' BOARD. Pursuant to the powers granted in this ordinance the park board in 1910 adopted the following rules and regulations, which property owners are advised to study and preserve for future reference: 1. Written request for removal, trimming or planting of trees, shrubs, etc., must be made by the owner or occupant of abutting property. If such request be for permission to plant trees or shrubs, it shall state the width of the lot in front of which the work is to be done, the kind and number of trees. 6hrubs, etc., to be planted, the kind and condition of the nearest trees upon adjoining lots and their distances from the lines of the lot of said owner of occupant. If such request be for permission to trim or remove trees or shrubs, the request shall state their number, kind and condition. Said reqnett shall be signed by said owner or occupant and by the licensed trimmer who la to do the work if there be such. If any doubt exists as to the necessity for or desirability of doing the work for which permission is asked, the board shall not issue a permit for such work until a care- ■ ful investigation has been made of all the circumstances of the case. 2. Trees shall not be planted in any street lawn less than thirty feet apart. Irrespective of the size of the lot, and as much farther apart as may be directed by the board of park commissioners, the variety of tree determining the spacing: and all trees planted shall be of healthy stock, free from any or all kinds of insects or pests. 3. No permit shall be granted for trimming any hardwood tree In a street lawn, except for the cutting out of dead wood and the cutting off of lower brjncbes when such are so low as to interfeee with the free passage of pedestrians or vehicles, or when such cutting off of lower branches may contribute properly to the symmetry of the tree. The board of paik commissioners will refuse permits for trimming hardwood trees during such periods of spring and fall as may seem in its Judgment advisable. Exceptions to this rule shall be granted when public service corporations are given permission to trim trees, and then only such trimming shall be permitted, as will not permanently injure the growth of the symmetry of the tree; or exceptions shall be granted when the removal of trees may be necessary for the erection or moving of a building. 4. When trees are trimmed all dead wood shall be cut out and all refuse removed. All cuts must be made at Joint or shoulder and such cuts must be given a coat of white lead, tir or asphaltic paint. MUST CUT TREES BELOW SURFACE. 5. No tree of an approved variety may he removed unless dead or unsightly, or when such removal is necessary for the erection or moving of a building. All trees removed mast be cut out at least six inches below the surface of the ground. 6. Whenever, in the Judgment of the board of park commissioners. it is deemed advisable to determine on a variety of tree which shall be planted in any street, within fixed limit*, the board

Boudoir for Cops! BOSTON, Jan. 7.—A boudoir at police headquarters, a suite of rooms finished in pearl gray and gold, with expensive mirrors, soft lounges and essy ebairs, has been started here. This restful spot is the department's preparation for the advent of policewomen, recently authorized, to its ranks.

shall serve notice of its intention so to do on all property owners on such street within such limits. Such notice shall either be delivered to such owner personally or be left on the premises or be sent by United States mail directed to his last and usual place of residence. Such notice shall state a day on which the matter of planting trees on the street, as hereinbefore stated, will be given consideration by the board. On such day, which shall be not less than two weeks after service of notice ns herein provided, the board shall give opportunity for property owners affected to express their preference for the variety of tree which shall be planted. If a majority of the resident property owners : shall at such hearing express their prefj erence in favor of a certain approved i variety of tree, such variety of tree shall j thereafter be planted in the street, withiin the limits then considered. Provided, ■ however, that In any street in which there j may be standing a large number of | healthy trees of good growth and approved variety, the predominating variety of such trees shall flx the variety of trees to he thereafter planted on the street. Provision for such uniform planting in any street shall be made by a duly adopted resolution of the board. Provided, however, that nothing in this rulo shall obtain in relation to parkways or boulevards or other public thoroughfares under the exclusive' Jurisdiction and control of the board of park commissioners. 7. The following varieties of trees are approved by the board of park commissioners. and only trees of such varieties may be planted in nny public street, alley, thoroughfare or street lawn in the ci(y of Indianapolis: Scarlet maple, Norway maple, sugar maple, white ash. European ash. sweet gum, tulip tree, cucumber tree, European sycamore, American sycamore. ; white oak, chestnut oak, English oak. red oak oi-ck oak, pin oak, American , elm, English elm. The ape service believes that it will not be necessary to make very many j prosecutions before citizens awaken to the fact that strict adherence to the park board's rules means a more beautiful city, j Mr. Morgan said.

HOT SPAGHETTI DOES NOT INJURE The Golden Voice of Luisa Tetrazzini

Is spaghetti beneficial for the voice? Herein is a problem to be solved. At any rate before embarking upon her concert tour, Mme. Luisa Tetrazzini took a lesson from a New York hotel chef in preparing the Italian delicacy, according to her favorite recipe. Os course, Tetrazzini’s diet is well taken care of upon her private car, but she seems to desire to guard against any contingency arising that would deprive her of this important part of her menu. The gracious singer arrives in Indianapolis today in her own luxurious traveling home. She is in excellent voice and her concert at the Murat on Sunday afternoon will be one of great enjoyment for local music lovers. She will be assisted in her concert by Francesco Longo, pianist; Max Gegna, 'cellist, and J. Henri Bove, flutist. The program, which will be given Sunday aftejnoon at the Murat, Is as follows: PART I. Waltz—From ‘‘Nutcracker Suite" (For cello, flute and piano.) Longo, Gegna and I?ove. Aria —‘‘Caro Nome” (“Rlgoletto”). Verdi Mme. Tetrazzini. Symphonic Variations ........ Boellman Max Gegna. (a) Occhl dl fata Henza (b) Se Fossl Quarnnto (c) Come le Rose Lama Mme. Tetrazzini.

Diversity of Merit Appeals in Art Exhibit Prominent American Painters Represented in Display at Herron Institute. Current Exhibitions—Annnal exhibition of the late works of contemporary American artists and sculpturists. Hours—Week days, 9 a. m. to 5 p. m. Sundays, 1 p. m. to 9 p. m. Admission—Sundays and holidays arc free. Other days 25 cents. Children and teachers are always free. Although the exhibition of the worke of contemporary artists is an annual event at the John Herron Art Institute, it is seldom that a collection of paintings of such diversified merit can be seen at one time in Indianapolis as Is contained in the thirty-sixth annual exhibition of the late works of American artists which is on display at the institute during tills month. Many of the cimvasscs are the work of prominent painters and others which show promise of increasing power of Interpretation In later years, are the production of the younger school. Among the pictures which arc examples of the clever devices for obtaining effects used by the more modern painters !s “A Little .Street" by Irma Kohn in which the effect of shadows la obtained by th euse of a peculiar shade of blue put on In Increased and diminished quantities. _The:e is a certain clement of fascination in the “queer” blue used, | but the shadow appearance is unde- ! niably obalued. I MERIT IN DETAILS. “Torn Lingerie,” the work of Frederick Carl Frieseke, one of the foremost American painters, which has been loaneiV through the courtesy of the City | Art Museum of St. Louis Is one of the I most st riking pictures on exhibition, j Incidenttally the work has a string of ; medals and honorable mentions attached jto it. While the choice of subject is I unusual, the real merit lies in the j realistic portrayal of details. The care ; with which each bend the woman In the | picture wears and the delicate outlines I of the ring on her finger leave no room for the visitor to use his Imagination as do many of the vague modern pictures. I The same accuracy of detail Is carried out In regard to the details of the i articles on the toilet table. Although “Cloudlnnd,” by William Wendt, Is a faultless reproduction of a landscape, there ig a deadness in the application of the colors which gives the observer a desire to put some liquid into the oil used on the canvas. Tlie work of the shadows Is well expressed, however. “A Colonial Landscape," an oil painting by Ettore Carlson, la the largest canvas on exhibition. It Impresses the visitor from sheer magnanimity. A towering yellow tree of gigantic proportions! strikes tho observer while he Is half- 1 way across the room. Its exceptional use: of tropical coloring is Interesting. APPEALING VALUE OF PICTURE. A near-home subject will inevitably seem pleasing, and “an Illinois Land- I scape.” by Oliver Dennett Grover, is no j exception to the rule. To the art ex- I ports there are great works of art. but to ! the mediocre student there are pictures

of appealing value. This landscape may or may not be a masterpiece, but It is one of the most appealing pieces in the entire collection. To the person who has looked down the urlver Just outside of Chicago from one of its many turns, the picture cannot but draw a sympathetic feeling. It is another canvas in which the restless colors have been toned down to peacefulness. In sharp antithesis to the “brass tacks” works of photographic reproduction is Cornelius Botke’s “Mists of the Morning," which is a fanciful, undecided type of depiction. It pictures what exists behind the mists rather than what they really show, and has a tantalizing Japanese effect. The variation of the depiction of the leaves and the different colors in which they are done are interesting. “The I'rocelain Parrot,” by Frederic M. Grant is a combination of good and bad. The parrot, which stands out against the cleverly arranged background of delicately combined dark colors, is done in the rough brush style. Its coarseness is also overemphasized by the delicacy with which the fruit heaped upon the table is painted. However, it cannot be denied but that the parrot stands out as the predominating element of the picture. Among the pictures which are overshadowed by the largeness and brilliance of the other convasses is Eugene Higgins’ “Woman With a Sack.” The lines of the bent r -over womnn are good, but It is hard to get a satisfying view of the picture on account of the dead colors In which it is done. Usually works of this type have a few redeeming spots of bright color, but the monotony Is unrelieved in this piece. Neither is it an attractive subject. EVENNESS PLEASING. The two "Siberian Studies” by Dan Sayre Groesbeck are interesting If not appealing works. An unusually carefully drawn dress pattern is worth mere than a casual glance. The evenness with whlteh the color is laid on is also a pleasing element in both pieces. “The Green Wave." by Charles H. Woodbury is another canvass which occupies a large portion of the wall. As the canvass contains nothing new, an element which Is essential In making a

picture successful, and is void of any clement of appealing reality, it is of little interest, as it also lacks any definiteness to call forth Interest. Oftentimes the colors used will make a canvass otherwise dead become at least attractive. Such a work Is Gertrude Flske’s “New England Meeting House." There is nothing striking in either the subject or the mode of portraynl, but the peculiar combination of the contrasting sky and ground coloring save it from mediocrity. Another work by Grant, “Autumn Tapestry,” is an exaggerated, bizarre affair without nny fundamental or impressionistic values. An especially appealing canvas Is Daniel Garber's “Springtime," primarily on account of the universal acquaintance with the long-legged girl with a ragged tail of braided hair hanging down her ;ii-| t | | | ( ),n t REBELLION j IN STOMACHI , Pape’s Diapepsin” at once I ends Indigestion and j Sour, Acid Stomach a L~ — Lumps of undigested food cause pain.
