must compromise
The interior department has a plan
to lease the lands to stoclmen and it
may be pushed through congress. We
oppose this. If there is to be any
change in the method Of control we
believe the lands should De ceded to
the states. That is what these resolu-

the lands ceded at once, but that would
raise great opposition and stockmen,

tons all over the country and they
would petition congress. Our efforts
would be overcome by this great pro-
test and instead of working in the di-

The people OF the United States are.

products used IN misunderstanding or

produced in greater or less degree or
can be readily produced in the islands
which have come into closer relation

the events Of the past two years. The
April summary Of commerce and
finance, which has just been issued by
the treasury bureau Of statistics,
shows that in the ten months ending
with April our imports Of tropical
products have been over $500, O00, 900 in
value, thus averaging fully $1,ooO, 900
day, and indicating that for the full
year they will reach s365, 900, 900. 81
India rubber, fbers, raw silk, cotton,
gums, cabinet woods, indigo, ivory,
dye woods and certain lines Of chem

sum which the manufacturers Of the
United States take and require in con-.
stantly increasing quantities. The
importation OF raw materials for use
in manufacturing has increased stead
lily and now forms more than one-third
of our total imports, and the large pro-
portion Of this comes from the tropics.
OF India rubber alone the imports Of
the ten months amount to more than

FAMOUS BOSTON ELM.
Big Tree Is Blown Down After Cen
turies Of Life.
Torn to Pieces by Relic Hunters Be
fore Police Can Interfere-Was
the Pride Of the Revo-
lutl0nists. z.ssS# 5#t

During severe gale the other even
ing the ancient and greatly revered
Boston elm, on the common, was blown
down. No one was in the immediate VI
entity at the time and no injury to
anyone resulted, but the loud noise
when the elm yielded to the elements
attracted q crowd Of men and boys,
who immediately attacked the ruin
and secured mementos.
Soon three police officers were sta
toned about the remnants of the tree
to prevent spoiation for any purpose.
But the mischief had been done; and
thus ended Boston's most ancient land
mark, the old elm. g. ls,. s>saa~
For years the elm had been the chief
object Of interest in the historic COM
mon. It was without doubt the oldest
known tree in New England, and had
seen the rise and progress Of the town
and city of Boston, the existence of
which it probably antedates several
years. Symmetrical in shnpe and of
unusual size, the great elm was thing
Of beauty. Tradition says that in early
days it was hanging tree, and it is
related that in the time Of witchcraft
decisions Ann Hibbins met an igno-
minious death upon it. That was in
1856.
A map Of Boston, printed in 1922,
found room to locate thetree, and soon
after the revolution 1t WIS cherished
with pride by the citizens Of Boston.
It continued to flourish for half CEN
fury after independence was secured,
but a great gale in 1882 did it much
damage. In 1854 substantial iron
fence was placed around the tree by
the city authorities to prevent acts OF
vandalism ~ .~.. a1&
In the great gale of 1860 the trees
largest limb was torn off, and though
it was restored as far as possible, and
the cavity filed up, the life of the old
elm had received shock from which
1t never recovered.
In September, 1869, the hurricane
that swept away the roof Of the first
Coliseum building and leveled several
OF the Boston church spires carried of
another great branch Since then the
tree has been slowly DYING.

DID NOT SPEAK.


The case Of Lynch VI. lynch IN the
Eighth district civil court has d.
veloped the remarkable fact that for
IS years Mrs Theresa Lynch, the
.tQueen Of diamonds . and her hus-
band, Jehn Lynch, lived in their
home at 26s West Thirty fourth
street, and never spoke to each other.
On one recent Friday Me-. Lynch was
removed from the house to Amityyille,
Z. Z, where he was placed In 8 phi
vate asylum.
Mrs. Lynch, who Is reputed to be
worth several millions, and for near
" half 9 century has been prominent
" identified with the diamond trade
in New York city, has been for many
years past supposed to be widow.
Only her most intimate friends knew
Of the existence Of Mr.. Lynch. He
lived for. the most part the life OF
recluse, never appearing at the Union
Square store, where. Mrs Lynch still
spends most Of the day behind one Of
the counters. - ..=r...:-...
Mrs Lynch's lawyer, Maurice Meyer,
explained the cause Of the long ST.
lence which existed between the wom-
an anG her aged husband. Up to 1885
Mr., Lynch was q partner with Mrs.
Lynch in the diamond business. His
conviviality threatened to destroy the
business, Of which Mrs. Lynch was the
mainstay, and the copartnership be-
tween husband and wife ended. After
that Mrs. Lynch moved farther up
town on Broadway and gave all her
time to the store. Mr.. Lynch was
given an allowance and did as he
pleased. The four sons and daughters
were friendly with both parents, but
no reconciliation between husband
and wife was ever. effected. s-@-~ - q
