10 the Editor Of The Evening Star:
One Of the heaviest crosses We had TO
bear last summer was the "omnivorous'
caterpillar. He destroyed the beauty Of
every tree and shrub and left them devoid
of sufficient leaves to cast q shade, or to
screen the young bird from the average
school boy. He was omnipotent He was
with you In parlor and hall, he was pres
ent when you entertained your guest, when
you retired to your chamber at night He
came in tho early summer and he stayed
until frost nipped the leaves and then re-
tired only to make your house, fence and
tree trunk, unsightly with thousands upon
thousands Of their ugly cocoons. Are we
to go through the same trial again this
summer? Look at the tree Immediately in

LIEUT.. PEARY,S TRIP.
He Has Gone to Arrange for the Ex-

He Has Gone to Arrange for the Ex-
petition.
Lieut.. r. E. Peary, c. E., U. 8. N, sailed
from Brooklyn on the Portia Sunday morn
ing for ST. Johns, n. F., to complete the
arrangements for his coming voyage to
Greenland. He will return to New York
shortly and expects to sail for tile north
about July s. A number of scientific men
own, desire to visit Greenland will take
advantage of this opportunity to sail on
Mr.. Pearys steamer. Cornell University,
which will probably hereafter take a very
active interest in the promotion of scientific
research by members of its own faculty
and student body. will be represented by
four or five young men. headed by Prof
Ralph S. Tarr the geologst.
Some newspapers have announced that
Mr.. Peary is going north again to secure
the large meteorite which he was unable
on his last return from Greenland to bring
home with him, though he did secure the
two remarkably fine aerolites that are now
in the American Museum Of Natural His
tory in New York.
This, however, is merely an incident OF
his enterprise. Nobody knows whether his
vessel will be able to get within many
miles of the north shore of Melville bay
where he found this great meteoric stone.
Mr. Albert Operti, the artist, will accom-
pany the explorer, and will take casts Of
making models of them.
Mr.. Pearys most northern point on this
trip will be Cape Sabine, at the entrance
to Smith sound This Is near where the
Greedy party were found in 1884. Turning
south again, he will endeavor to push into
Jones sound, which is very little known

into 1t being lngletield, in 1852.

SOUTH WASHINGTON CITIZENS
Ihey Want Severer Penalties Pro-
scrfbed Tor Felonious Assaults.

A largely attended meeting of the South
Washington Citizens Association was held
last evening. A resolution was unanimous
iy adopted indorsing a petition asking Con-
sress to pass more stringent law in ref
erence TO assaults on women in the District
OF Columbia The petition was as follows:
Inc south Washington Citizens Associa-
ton hereby petitions and urges that such
law be passed by Congress as will make
the attempt or commitment of rape within
the District of Columbia punishable bv
oeath. Ihls is the penalty in great many
states, ana We think that in view of the
great NUMBER of such cases that have oc-
CURED recently and the light penalties
wnlch the courts were able TO administer
that this law seems necessary
In addition to inGorsing the petition the
association adopted a resolution requesting
the executive committee to do ali in its
power to get other associations to take
similar action to that of the South Wash
fngton association.
The chairman of the meeting was Mr..
Charles Shsefer, President Winters being
prevented from attending by reason of i'll
ness in his family.
After reports were made from various
committees in reference to matters that
were referred to them at a prvious meet
Ing, Mr.. NJ J. Brown made statement in
reference TO the attempts which have been
made, aid which will continue to be made
to permanently close the crematory at the
foot of South Capitol street, and for the
selection of another place from that now
used for the shipment of offal, etc.
Mr.. Demo- in the course Of speech which
abounded in facts for those who heard his
remarks TO ponder over, said he did not
think there was much use for the associa-
ton to try to get rid either of the crema-
tory or the shipping place He instanced
the case Of soap factory which was for
merly located on q street between 9th and
It'll northwest on the site of the present
city post office.
THAT factory was in full operation for
thirty-nine years." said Mr.. Demo, DESPITE
the fact that every resident of the vicinity.
and some of them were among the most
influential citizens of Washington, united
in declaring that the place was a nuisance.
Not only SO, but they fought the proprietor
of the factory year after year IN the courts
for the better part Of generation, and vet
they accomplished nothing and the factory
ceased operations only after the property
was sold by its owner for the purpose of
erecting the Union building upon It,"
Mr.. Brown of the nuisance committee
said that the committee would continue to
agitate the subjects which they have on
hand SO long as there is any prospect what
ever of success.
There was some discussion of a proposi-
ton to get another hall for the future
meetings Of the associat ton, but no de-
cision was reached in the matter

The Marquette Statue.
r OF The Evening Star:

10 The Editor Of The Evening Star:
T. S. Childs, in his letter on the Mar
Quette statue written to The Star, offers
this suggestion: Let the Wisconsin legis-
lature withdraw the offer of the statue to
Congress, and present it to the university
which represents here the faith repre-
scented by the statue itself" Allow me to
state that the statue was not placed in
Statuary Hall to represent any particular
faith. 1t was placed there as a lifting
tribute to man eminently connected with
valuable explorations in what is now a
part of the United States.
Pere Marquette is represented in his
priestly robes. but how else could he be
represented2 His marble statue would be
sneered at if it represented him in the
garb Of soldier or of a civilian of our
time.
Mr.. Childs also says: The work of art
will thus remain in the District, and in the
place where, above all others. IL properly
belongs" The place where the statue prop
erly belongs is Statuary Hall. 1t seems to
me that there is entirely too much promi-
nence given to this matter, and the cx-
cuses offered for ii are, in my humble opiu-
ion, very un-American.
The statue of Roger Williams, the foun-
der of the Baptist religion, is located in
StatuaIy Hall. / have not heard Il re-
ported that the "Romanists'' entered a pro-
test, claiming that ne was no American
citizen.
1 had thought that Pere Marquette's stat
ue was forgotten, and that the incidents
connected with it were obliterated from
the American mind; so the only excuse /
| have for writing this letter is that Mr.
Childs wrote one with which l cannot
agree.
The place where the statue belongs is
the place which WAS selected for it. and
where 1t now gives additional dignity 10 a
chamber that was digniled before 1t also
shows that in the United States a man may
serve God as he sees fit
Inc statues of Roger Williams and Pere
marquette are mute authority on our re-
ngious freedom. GEORGE GARDNER

POLO IN HIGH FAVOR.
The Game Becoming Popular All
Over the Country.

Over the Country.
From the New York Commercial Advertiser
Back in the seventies. when polo began
to gain footing in this country, there was
but little expectation that 1t would ever at
tain the prominence and favor it possesses
today, and the few Ecattered clubs which
took I'D this game hardly believed them
selves the pioneers in a sport which has
since grown until at the present time it
holds an enviable position among the out
door pastimes.
In the beginning there were few games,
and these were more in the way Of novel
exhibitions than anything else, without sys-
tenn Of any kind. But all this is changed,
and the present season, which has lust
opened, finds something like 400 active
players ready to enter the field, and a long
list of tournaments Is scheduled for this
summer in which many Of the most prom
inent men of the country will take part.
The association under whose auspices
these events take place had its beginning
in 1890, with list of 100 members, but the
growth has been remarkably rapid, SO that
today several new clubs have been en-
rolled These are the Agawam Hunt Club
of Providence, r. l., which has Just taken
up the sport; the Washington Polo Club
and the Riding and Driving Club Of Brook
lyn. and the Evanston Club Of Chicago,
Besides these new comers there are in
the association nineteen clubs, the Country
Club of Brookline, Mass; Buffalo Country
Club, Chicago Polo Club, Dedham (Mass.)

THE RUSIE AFFAIR.
National Board Refers the Matter to
the League Directors.


A meeting of the national board Of arbi-
tration Of professional base ball clubs was
held yesterday in New York. The board
comprised President Young of the league,
Messrs. c. H. Byrne Of Brooklyn, A. ii.
Soden Of Boston and john T. Brush of Gin
cinnati, who were all present. The object
of the meeting was to decide whether the
board could take action the appeal Of
Amos Rusie to be released from reservation
by the New York club. Rusic gave as his
reason for appealing to the national board
that the New York club had illegally with
held salary due him. Therefore. he claims
he could not be reserved under the pro-
visions of the national agreement rules.
The board decided that al present 1t did
not have full jurisdiction in the premises
and referred the mater TO the board of
directors of the National League to de-
termine the question as to the legality Of
the penalties imposed on Ruse by the New
York club. The director will probably meet
shortly and pass upon the questions in dis
pute.
