A Landmark Carried Away,
the Editor Of The Evening Star:

10 Inc Edltor OF Inc Even1ng Star:
The gust of yesterday afternoon carried
away, to the great regret of all lovers of
natures works, conspicuous landmark on
the New Cut road, opposite Wetzel's farm.
This a mammoth tulip poplar tree
that had stood the storms and had been
spared by man for probably two centuries.
1t was known as the Dolly Barber tree,
and appears as a landmark and boundary
point in title deed as early as about 1880;
and tradition says that it received its name
from an old sweetheart of one of the Muir
docks residing in the vicinity. Whether
this veteran of the forest ever witnessed a
war dance or echoed the war-whoop of
the aborigines may be matter of conjecture,
but it is quite probable that Washington,
surveyor and woodsman and hunter. may
have often rested under its generous shade;
and 1t was no doubt as familiar to Jeffer-
son, for one of the latter's frequent haunts
when President was the "Foxhalf' home
stead, on whose tract the Dolly Barber"
was a principal landmark. 1t is tradi-
ton of the neighborhood that Jefferson
spent many hours with FoXhall, a genial
Englishman, who erected a foundry on the
run and cast cannon for the war of 1912.
1t was there that the former whiled away
the leisure hours of busy statesman by
drawing from his fiddle melody or discord,
according to his powers in this regard. 1t
was located close to Foundry run, and
ers who made their campfires at its trunk;
indeed, the immediate cause of its fall was
the fact that these fires, or hunters in
search of game, had years since burnt out
the heart of the trunk. Think for a mo-
ment what stories it could tell of people
and events familiar in early District Of
Columbia history, had it the power of the
telephone to receive and transmit audible
sounds. Its branches protected many a
picnic party, and its environs must have
proved a favorite TRUSTING place for the
youths in the early days of the century.
The father of his country may under it's
boughs have repeated in colloquial Ian
guage to boon companions, between mint
juleps, the warnings contained in his fare
well message; and the author of the DecIa-
ration of Independence may have impressed
upon associates his earnest conviction that
the principles therein announced were not
glittering generalities, but fundamental
truths which should be perpetuated for all
time and for all generations. May not the
District Commissioners place stone to
preserve the locus and identity of such a
conspicuous landmark? Yours truly,
ALEX AMBER PORTER MORSE.

Shade Trees,

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
No one thing in Washington adds so
much to the beauty and attractiveness of
the city and to the comfort and conyen-
fence of the citizens as the shade trees
which line the sides of most of the streets.
But in order to fully utilize and enjoy this
feature of city life these trees must be
cared for and protected, not only by wire
netting or wooden boxes, as now, but also
proper pruning of the branches, so that
wind storms may not las is now frequently
the case uproot and destroy the trees In
order to preserve this feature of city life
regular system of pruning these trees
should be adopted and enforced by the city
authorities. If an objection is made to
ths because OF the expenses incurred, 1
answer, let the expense Gf necessary be
met by a special charge against the owner
of the lot in front of which the tree stands,
on the same principle as the sidewalks are
now cared for. In many parts of the city
the trees have grown to such size as to be
dangerous, in case of storms, to both life
and property In order to enjoy the shade
and beauty of the trees which line our
streets it is not sufficient to merely plant
we must also protect Wire netting has been
placed around the trunks of many of the
trees for protection. but the wind seems
to have had no respect for these safe
guards, and in some cases the tree and its
wire protection are now both prone upon
the ground. Planting, to be successful,
iuuSt ne supplemented by cultivation ana
care, and it seems strange that the thous-
ands of shade trees which add so much to
the beauty of the streets of this city
should be allowed to grow wild and be de-
st1Oyed by storms when an expense of not
exceeding one dollar for each tree per
year (Which might. if necessary, be taxed
against the property in front of which the
tree stands, would be more than sufficient
to avoid all this loss and damage. A good
shade tree once lost cannot be replaced in
a day or year. and certainly some plan
ought to be- and can be, devised by which
the trees can be- saved. If our trees were
properly trimmed, the storms that now
strew the streets with uprooted trees
would then no longer be such a terror to
our citizens. When one of these storms
strikes our city we are in position to ap-
preciate Bryant's idea when he said:
"I.ord of the windsl feel Thee nigh
1 know Thy breath in the burning sky;
And l wait, with thrill in every vein,
For the coming of the hurricane.
When He sends through the shade
funeral ray
A glare that is neither night nor day;
A beam that touches, with lines of death,
The clouds above and the earth beneath.
Darker, still darker! The whirlwinds bear

MIR. THOMAS BID.
Commissioners Say 1t Was Informal
and Therefore Not Accountable.

Mr.. N. II. Thomas, a local builder, was
one of those who submitted bids for the
construction of the eight-room public school
on Kenyon street between 18th and 18th
streets. His bid was the lowest. but the
District Commissioners accepted the next
lowest that of Messrs. Gleason & Humph-
rey. The matter was called to the atten-
ton of the Commissioners by Attorney VIM.
e. Ambrose. who insisted that as Mr..
Thomas was the lowest bidder and as he
Is not defaulting contractor and has never
been designated as an undesirable bidder,
his bid should have been accepted. In re-
ply the Commissioners explained that the
bid Of Mr.. Thomas was too informal and
irregular to warrant its acceptance and
they therefore deem 1t inadvisable to take
any further action in the matter.
