He Will Explain His Position in Reference to
the Church Murders.
Tonight DR.. J. George Gibson will de-
liver his lecture on the subject of the re-
cent church murders. a considerable in
terest is manifested by the public in this
address, as DR.. Gibson has not expressed
any personal opinions previous to this
time on the subject of the crime. To-
night, however, his secretary states, he
will take occasion to fully explain his po-
sition, which he has hesitated TO do
hitherto on account of the false and exag
gerated reports that were circulated con-
corning him at the time of the tragedy.
The lecture will afford him the opportu-
nifty to set himself right with the public
and to explain his personal feelings.
The proceeds of the lecture are ito go

believe that owners of property who have
trees in front of their houses are the ones
to make war aga inst the caterpiilars and
beetles.
"It ia very evident that something should
be done Immediately, for notice in a num-
Der of places that the trees are prematurely
losing their leaves. In view of the fact tnat
there is no public fund at hand. the quickest
and best way out of the difficulty think
is, as said, for individuals to go to work
to save their own trees.

trees in the public parkings. or course,
we would all hate to See them lost, but
il surely looks like the citizens OF Wafn-
ington should not be made To expend their
money on them when Congress does not
treat us any too well. anyhow. 1t looks
like q great rich government should be
able to protect its trees
1.-THE parking commission should devise
some means to save the trees," said Mr..
F. l.. williams Even if they have not
the available funds the persons in that
department should at least suggeft some
manner to eXterminate the plague. Of
course, have noticed the unusual depre-
dations made by insects, and action should
not long be delayed. Let the park commits
sioners suggest something and then let
everybody do all in their power to help
out Save the trees by all means"
john Ridout, the lawyer: Il think the
solution of the difficulty is, as The Times
suggests. for the citizens to look after
the trees in front Of their own houses, on
suggestions made by the park commission
ers. Let the officials suggest aud the
people act. In this scientific age there
should be some poison that will kill the
pests.
In the public reservations the officials
in the various departments can certainly
find enough money in some fund or funds
to preserve the trees around their grounds.
1t surely would take no great outlay of
money and no long time to get rid of the
plague, aud it ought to be done"

Prospective Builder Tbwarted by the

New Regulations.
Mr.. E. ]. Newton, of No. 1920 K street
northwest, to-day applied for u permit to
construct q corner building adjoining the
above number.
Mr.. Newton applied for and procured
in March last u permit for the construction
ofthe dwelling on one of the two lots owned
by him. He was not then ready to put up
both buildings, and therefore deferred the
application for the second.
When he called to-day he was informed
that permit could not be issued unless he
should make the structure four feet shorter
than the other, for the reason that since
the first was built the regulations had
been amended increasing the rear area To
ten feet. and his building admits of but
six feet.
Underthe circumstances, Inspector Brady
vas obliged to deny the application.
