by only one kind of tree. Thus the town
might be divided into sections. and vari-
Gus streets might be set apart for the
growing OF certa in kinds Of trees.
Gas pipes and electrical wires come IN
for considerable attention, and Professor
Hilgard favored immediate steps to pre-
vent them from being so laid as to inter-
fere with the growth or trees Leaks
from gas pipes were declared to be highly
injurious, and the speaker depreca ted the
custom followed in Berkeley OF allowing
the electric lighting company to cut wide
spaces through trees TO make room for
their wires.
In reference to the selection OF trees the
professor expressed the opinion that the
town appeared to be much divided on the
question of what trees are the best. Most
trees that are commonly used shed their
leaves at some time" said the professor,
''but there are some which do not remain
hare as long as others. There is no reason
why in Berkeley we should not have, with
our climate, as extended variety and as
perfect growth as any town on earth. We
can have almost any tree we "isn.
Professor Hilgard gave some interesting
facts regarding the different available va
rieties OF trees, at the Conclusion OF which
Dr. Warning Wilkinson spoke against the
ordinance that prohibits the growth OF
trees over sixteen feet high.

his former employer by George M. ScEil-
Ter, until within day or two the secretary
and clerk of George Carton. Carton is a
postage-stamp dealer of worldwide prom
inence, who located IN this City about
four years ago. The matter has produced
the greatest sensation ever known in local
philatelic circles
Schiller charges Carton with having
stamps for valuable, genuine ones left in
his custody. and yesterday, on the
strength OF the representations made by
Schiller, policeman, armed with a
search warrant, was watching the prem
Ises of Carton in order to try to find and
recover the alleged missing stamps.
Schiller was in the employ of the ac-
cused man for year and a half, and quit
his service on Saturday last. About two
weeks ago his then employer requested
Schiller to write to the Scott Stamps and
Coin Company of New York for certain
French colonial stamps, which Carton
represented he wanted for customer.
He explained that he had previously
written for similar stamps, but had failed
to receive them. probably because the
-
competitor.
The request was duly forwarded by
Schiller and in response he received on
approval four books filed with the stamps
OF the various French colonies and valued
at $40. But the stamps ordered were not
sent. Carton in looking over the books
casually remarked that there were some he
could probably use. So he was allowed to
retain the books. They were received on
Monday, July q, and remained in
Cartons custody, so Schiller states, until
yesterday morning.
When the books were handed to Schiller
he looked them over and noticed at once.
so he claims, that quite number of the
most valuable stamps had been replaced
with worthless counterfeits, and that fine
specimens had been replaced with poor
copies. he called Cartons attention to
the alleged substitution and the latter
promptly and Indignantly denied that he
had manipulated the stamps in the man
ner intimated. The enraged dealer seized
the books and in the presence of Schiller
and Henry Doscher, who had accompan-
led Schiller to Cartons place of business,
sealed them in an envelope
This he carried to Frank Koeing, the
president of the Pacific Philatelic Society,
and asked that gentleman to retain the
custody of the stamps pending the settle
ment of the trouble. Koenig refused to
accept the charge and Carton, in the
presence of Koenig, mailed the package to
the New York consignors.
Meanwhile Schiller proceeded to police
headquarters and procured a search war
rant with the object of recovering, If
possible, the alleged missing STAMPS.
Schiller threatens to bring charge of
EN- mbezzIement against his former en-
ployer for having refused to return the
books to him after being charged with the
substitution. Up to late last evening
Carton had not appeared at his Office.
Carton was suspended year ago from
the American Philatelic Association, the
National society of stamp collectors, on
charge OF having offered for sale fraudu-
lent stamps. He claims to be able to dis
prove the charge and the matter will come
up for hearing at the approaching conven-
ton of the association, which will begin
meetings at Minnetonka, Mimi, on
August Ii.
