Stop; Oscar Behind Time j By Associated Press On Board Steamship Oscar 11, via wireless to Cape Race, N. F., Dec. 9. —Tentative plans for the itinerary and preliminary procedure of Henry Ford's party of peace advocates were announced to-day. At Chrlstianla. Norway, the party will remain three days, and Norwegian delegates will be. selected by the expedient of sending out invitations broadcast, as was done i in the United States. A special train will be f!ispatchod toi Stockholm to recruit and transport Swedish delegates, and another special train will bring Danish delegates from Copenhagen. Leaving Scandinavia the party pur- I poses going direct to The Hague by rail, provided Mr. Ford can obtain per mission to pass through Gearmany. He will ;Lgree to nonstop trip, if the Germans will only grant permission to j traverse the country. At The Hague, Dutch, Spanish and ! Swiss members are expected to Join : the party and with their arrival per- - manent organizations will be attempt- j ed with a view to bringing peace to the warring nations. After a stormy start which caused much delay, the Oscar II was making good progress to-day, though she will probably be four days late reaching Chrlstianla. Ford Pacificist Declares Spirit of Love Stronger Than Military Force By Associated Press New York, Dec. 9. A wireless from the steamer Oscar 11 signed and prepaid by Henry Ford was received . here to-day. The message gave a sum- . mary of a speech delivered on board ' last night by Judge Ben Lindsey, of Denver. In wich he declared that the spirit of love would be more effective in international politics than military force. Judge Lindsey told the peace advo cates of lits experience during ten years on the bench, drawing the con clusion that criminals responded morel quickly to trust than to shackles and force.. He argued against the "pre paredness policy" basing a part of his contention on the assertion that fire arms are unknown In the reform prl !son camps in Colorado, except when they are needed to protect the convicts from persons living near the camps. He compared "militaristic elements" with the "third degree policemen" and deprecated the efforts of force in either case. A wireless message from Henry Ford, aboard the steamer Oscar 11, was received at the White House at Washington to-day. Mr. Ford asked the President tj disregard what he termed inaccurate newspaper accounts of proceedings aboard the Oscar II and said that he would personally in form the President later as to the trans-Atlantic trip. PARK PLAN SHOULD BE GIVEN THOUGHT [Continued From First Page.] reached Harrlsburg last evening and spent most of the morning visiting points of interest about the city, ac companied by J. Horace McFarland, secretary of the Municipal League. I Mr. Brunner is one of the foremost i men of his profession in the country. I Hl* construction of the great social ! center In Cleveland is one of the | achievements of its kind in America I while his plan for practically rebuild- j ing the congested water front districts! of Albany have placed him with equal ! prominence before the architectural! world. State Officials Attend While Mr. Brunner was the guest I of honor and the principal speaker at j to-day's luncheon, there were other' notable guests. State Treasurer Kob-1 ert K. Young and Superintendent of j Public Buildings and Grounds Samuel B. Rambo were among those at the! table and a host of representative busi ness and professional men of the city.! Governor Brumbaugh was expected 1 also but an important out-of-town en-1 gagement precluded this. Auditor i General A. W. Powell had an import- j ant conference with the attorney gen- I' 1 eral which prevented their attendance, I I too. i Mr. Brunner put In some time at the capitol where Superintendent Rambo showed him the plans and I I other data relative to the proposed! j park extension. The architect said he I considered the capitol park zone ques tion was too important to settle hastily. "Careful. Thoughtful Consideration" "This is surely too big a problem I to arrive at any conclusion without! careful, thoughtful consideration," | said he. "The relation of the city to the State should be given i studious thought and you should be in no hurry to arrive at any con-! elusion until you have given the whole . problem the most careful study from every possible angle. Mr. Brunner, during his inspection of the capitol, was not particularly impressed with the Barn a r d | statuary nor with the heavy | electroliers, the casings of the stand-1 ard cabinets or other Interior decora-1 tions. Mr. Brunner considers the! deflorations "out of harmony" with the remainder of the handsome entrance | and rotunda because of their massive ness. The Barnard statues he also I considers out of harmony. t He called! attention rather forcibly to the con-j trast of the marble statues against the granite structure. Nor did the sculp tor's usual Idea of endeavoring to work the nudity of the human figure Into statuary to adorn the front of a structure like Pennsylvania's State house, especially appeal to Mr. Brun ner. 11l Capitol Park The brownstone steps leading from the capitol grounds to Third at State were considered rather as a makeshift by the architect; he passed over the steps with the remark that "of course these were only temporary." "Third street," he said, "could readily be widened by including the present pavement on the east side of the street from North to Walnut as a part of the park. The walk could be made through the park. Mr. Brunner's plan included the preservation of the great elms at Third and State In grass plots.

I Zls Market St., Opp. Courthouse __J ij I the "Kront Steps of Harrisburg" to i ! the hills beyond the Susquehanna, "While you have not the congested I river traffic problems which confront! I some other cities, the use you have I made in the development of your I water front is splendid." A Well Ordered Cll.v That Harrisburg is a "well ordered" cjty in the way it is laid out and I paved, was enthusiastically com | mented upon by Mr. Brunner. I ! Furthermore he touched upon the ad- ! I mi ruble, way Harrisburg is adopted to I j solving the problems of social center I development. Cleveland, he pointed out, had been compelled to take over I whole areas to make way for such j development. Harrisburg lias them ! right at hand—waiting to be turned into these modern recreation purposes. In his address before the mcmbersat | the Harrisburg Club, Mr. Brunner I emphasized the opportunity for a I great civic center in Harrisburg group led about the Capitol and the park ex tension to the east. "What is good | for the State is good for the city, and j what is good for the city is good for I the State," he said, "so it behooves! each to co-operate with the other for [the beautiflcation of the districts ad jacent to the Capitol. You have a dif ficult problem to solve here, but one capable of a big solution. You have started right and I believe you will continue so." Mr. Brunner praised Harrisburg for the advantage it has taken of its river front possibilities and said the treat j ment is exactly right. , Front street he ' pronounced a delightful thoroughfare jand he said Harrisburg streets are far celaner than arc those of New York. Mr. Brunner expressed himself as pleased with the manner in which the city and the railroad companies work together in Harrisburg. He said the city should stand ready to give the railroads a maximum of their re quests. but that in return the city should ask for adequate co-operation for the beautlilcation and proper de velopment of the town. He said that the city unquestionably has the power of regulating the height of buildings, the manner in which trees are to be planted, the kind of trees aisles of safety and kindred matter.v that go to make up the modern city. | Air. Brunnpr said he believes more In moral suasion than In force and that if the citizens as a whole get together and stand behind the city planners, few property owners would have the j temerity to defy public opinion so unanimously expressed. The danger , lies in lack of public Interest and sup- I port he said. Teamwork Is the im portant thing in city building, i Mr. Brunner made a plea for trees In the business sections. He said Americans shy from trees in front of tholr stores, but in Europe the people have learned that trees make their business streets more attractive. He called attention to the obelisk at State and Second streets, which he said is "a very good one, evidently entangled In the street car tracks and has been unable to get out." Nevertheless he siild that looking up State street from Front, with the obelisk in the center gave a very pleasing view. The architect said that a civic cen ter is absolutely essential fo rtho pro j per expression of any city and that city planning Is nothing more than a; ! program for the future, the success of which depends entirely upon public support. J. Horace McFarland introduced the speaker and J. William Bowman, pres ident of the Chamber of Commerce, thanked Mr. Brunner on behalf of the members. The more than 100 present listened attentively throughout the ad dress and heartily applauded the speaker. Files Bill in Equity Against Du Pont Co.
