sWITZER s CONFESSION
ADMITTED IN EVIDENCE

George Switzer, after his arrest for
alleged burglarizing of a freight car
in the local yards of the Rock Island
road June 16 last, stealing therefrom
several pairs of shoes, made a written
confession. in which he related the
crime in detail. The confession was
offered in evidence by the prosecu-
tiCn at the trial of Switzer in the cir
cult court this morning, but the de-
PENDANTS attorney, J. F. Witter, pro-
tested against its admission. holding
that Switzer was not in his right mind
when he wrote the confession. The
court ruled for the admission of the
confession.
James Cronin, indicted for petty lar
ceny, entered a plea of guilty and
was sentenced to four months in the
county Jail and fined $25. Cronin stole
number of old coins at the saloon
of Mons Nelson in this city.

STREET EORESTRT.

A correspondent at Yonkers \. Y. referring
to The Tribune's recent utterances on the
subject of trees in city streets. writes in part
as follows:
If you will read the inclosed pamphlet by
Frederic Shonnard L feel assured you will be
inspired to write another article, calling atten-
ton to this pamphlet as one Of the best ever
written upon the subject If you will also say
that copies may be obtained gratis by sending
to Samuel L. Cooper, Commissioner of Public
Works YonkerS, n. Y, ii may promote the
most worthy cause in which The Tribune is
exhibiting such praiseworthy interest.
We gladly act upon the suggestion. The
pamphlet, entitled Street Forestry" is a re-
port on the condition of trees in the streets
of Yonkers and also n treatise on the selec-
ton, planting cultivation and general care Of
street shade trees. 1t is compact but compre-
hensive. it is we'll illustrated, and it contains
just what everybody interested in city shade
trees ought to know. The engravings, from
actual photographs show in graphic and i'm
pressive manner the beauty of a we'll shaded
street ard also the disastrous effects of such
forms of i'll treatment as a large proportion
of city trees endure
Yonkers is ineomparably better provided with
shade trees than New-York. But what can be
| done in Yonkers can be done in Newly York,
| and also the injuries that done to trees in
| Yonkers are identical with those done to them
| in New-York; that this treatise is as appli-
cable to the latter city as to the former The in
| juries to trees portrayed in the pamphlet are
chiefly of three kinds-wounds inflicted by the
teeth Of horses, poisoning by illuminating gas,
| and starvation through being surrounded by
watertight pavements Each Of these evils is
readily discoverable, and might readily be pre-
vented by law and by proper enforcement of
! the law. Really nothing is needed but the
exercise of common sense, and that is some
| thing which it should not be too much to ex-
pect from the average householder and from
those who have official charge of city streets.
