To Provide Driveway.

The plan Of the temporary improve
ment of the park is that a drive shall
be constructed around the southern por-
tion of the island and that the under
brush shall be cleared away and re-
placed with grass

personal examination OF the work going

ion that it would be economical in the

BY our testing gardens and put il IN
grass, ana possibly plant a portion OF
it TO trees. All that part next TO the

into driveway and planted with trees
IN such manner as to develop eventually
the idea of an arboretum. combined
with certain features OF experimental
work in grasses and forage plants that
might be carried or by the department
which would be OF considerable value
There is no question that Under such
a treatment the Iaad could be made 10
yield sufficient sorace for great many

ried on it. In fac, FIVE acres OF good
grass would give more food for animals

II am OF the opinion that the entirs
tract outside of the portion occupied by
the department could be cleared of all
undesirable weeds and brush aud put in

inquiry
Asked BY GALLINGBR
The New Hampshire Senator
Wants an Investigation.
NOT CONFINED TO THE SOUTH
Has No Desire, He Says, to PreciPitate
Sectional Controversy, But Thinks
Some Remedy Ought to Be Found.
Mr.. Bailey to Speak on the Subject.

In the Senate today Mr. GaHinger, Of
New Hampshire, offered a resolution di-
recting the Committee on the judiciary
to inquire into the subject of 'Iynching'
in the United States and TO report
whether, under the laws and Constitu-
tion of the country. there is any remedy
for the evil
He said that there was nothing further
from his purpose than the desire to pre-
cipitate a sectional controversy. Lynch
ing was not by any means confined to
the South. Several horrible cases had
occurred in the North; and white men,
as well as black, had been lynched. All
over the land there was intense interest
In the matter.
Mr.. GauInger gave some statistics on
the subject aud then had the newspaper
report read of the recent burning at the
stake Of the negro Dudley Morgan in
Texas
To Arouse Pubic Sentiment.
The Spanish inquisition. Mr.. CALM
ger said, did not furnish a case exceed
ing that one in iuhumanity; Fox's Book
OF Martyrs was tame in comparison;
and this had occurred not in interior
Africa, nor In the islands OF the Sc, but
in Christian America. The Whole
wretcbed business was a disgrace to
American manhood, and in face Of it
the alleged atrocities in the Philippines
paled into insignifcance.
He apprehended that it would be said
that the Federal Government was pow
eriess and that the State had exclusive
jurisdiction over such onenses- II so
the American people would like TO know
It. so that public sentiment might be
aroused and that such inhuman atroci-
ties should come to an end and the
majesty Of the law be vindicated
State Rights in Question.
Mr.. Bailey Of Texas said that he had
no idea Of being drawn into any sec
tionaI controversy by the Senator from
New Hampshire OF any other Senator.
But the legal question as =, ~hetlas
Congress had power to go into a State
and take charge Of its peace and good
order presented q question which he
should probably desire to discuss. and
he therefore asked that the resolution
lie over.

the plaintiff given. The cause, under
instructions of Boss Mike, the pro.
prietary owner of the county govern
ment of Mohave county, was appealed

one of the results of disallowance of
bills of Anson II. Smith by the board

than disposition on the part of this
