Rev. Walter H. Brooks. pastor of Nine
teenth Street Baptist Church, has learned
that his son James shot himself while in
a paroxysm of pain, and not for any Of
the reasons given in connection with the
matter in the papers. James G. Brooks Is
twenty-four years OF age. He has twice
made ar effort, it Is stated, to serve as a
soldier in the United States army, having
done duty on the Mexican border as a
member of Company A, 25th Infantry, and
spent short time In Cuba as member
Of Troop B, 10th Cavalry.
His first enlistment brought on physical
ailments which. 1t is alleged. necessitated
his discharge from the service, and an
operation which he had to undergo at the
Soldiers Home in this city in the summer
of 1900. His re-enlistment the same year
and the climatic influences Of Cuban SOL

with periods of such suffering as to rem

change of climate has not prevented
the recurrence of the periodical paroxysms
of physical agony, as indicated by the fol-
lowing account, written by his room mate
which has been received from Pittsburg, of
the effort of young Brooks to kill himself:
James has had several fits since he has
been here, and 1t was while having one Of
these fits he shot himself He says he
was out of his head when he did it. He

MATTER OF POLICY.
Authorities Object to Citizens Plant.
Ing Trees in Public Places.

Authorities Object to Citizens Plant
Ing Trees in Public Places.
The District Commissioners have decided
that 1t Is not advisable to allow private
parties to plant trees in public space. Even
though the citizen should pay for the work,
1t is believed to be the best policy that the
District should perform it. The matter came
up with the request OF J. F. Fuss, who
vicinity of 35th and Pierrepont streets
Trueman Lanham, the superintendent Of
parking, reported to the Commissioners that
the public funds available for tree planting
would not permit Of placing trees in COM
paratively unimproved localities Mr.. Fuss
was informed Of this and further advised
that If he wished to pay the cost of the
in the reservations designated upon the de-
post of $27. To this Mr. Fuss replied that
he could get good linden trees planted for
about one-haf the cost mentioned by the
Commissioners, with a guarantee of one
year. He asked permission to do the work
himself. Capt. III. C. Newcomer, the acting
engineer commissioner, has recommended
that Mr.. Fuss be informed as follows:
1.-THE Commissioners do not consider 1t
advisable to authorize the planting Of trees
in public space by private parties. The mat
ter of tree planting Is one of great Inn
portance and should be done with all neces-
sary care to obtain the best practicable re-
suits. This requires such an amount of
work in the preparation OF holes and in the
that the estimate Of s. per tree Is considered
a moderate one. 1t is not believed to be
possible that private persons could do the
work properly Tor q less sum, especially as
the District makes no charge for the young
trees which are furnished from its nursery"
