ity to both plant and care for trees
in front of all property and at the
same time provide for a special tax
to be levied upon each lot thus ben
Gifted. BY this means every resi-
dence street could soon be planted
with good trees, which by regular in
spection could be kept In good condi-
ton. The tax on each lot would be
lignt. and the benefit would more

A SEA LEVEL CANAL WITHOUT
TIDE LOCKS.

While il Is unnecessary for the 18TH
tion TO decide the lock versus sea level
canal question forthwith. and work
can go on for some time with that
question in aDeyance, a right solution
of it Is manfestly of the utmost i'm
portance. The chief engineer Com
missioner Wallace, is known to favor
a seal level canal, and he has i'm
pressed Secretary Taft and members
OF the congressional committee con
cerned in the matter but the discus
those who nave revived the sea level
project has so far been quite vague
and general.
II is interesting to note that one of
The members of the new isthmian
commission, General Peter C. Hams,
is an advocate of the lock canal pol
icy. His article in the March North
American Review will attract more
attention now, in view of mis- appoint
ment as commissioner, tnan it did at
ill' AiIht vi anu III lnd'
paper he expresses grave doubt as to
the wisdom of the proposed reversion
TO the original De Lesseps idea OF a
sea level water way. He points out
that after more thorough surveys and
studies than De Lesseps relied on no
fewer than three boards of commits
sions. comprising among their mem
bers no less than thirty-one engineers.
reported In favor of the abandonment
of the sea level project and the build
ing of a canal with locks" This un-
animous verdict, NJ says, should not
he set aside except on the strength OF
new and convincing evidence, and he
ioes not believe sucn evidence is at
land.
One Of General Hams principal
points is that in reality the sea
level canal talk is misleading and
confusing. because no such canal, in
he true sense of the term, is posi-
BILE at Panama. A sea level canal, he
says, is an open cut with no locks al
all. like Suez or the st. Clair canal.
me difference in the tide between
ne Pacific and the Caribbean would
produce dangerously swift currents,
and the only way of obviating the
difficulty Is to provide a tide lock"
a sea level canal at Panama, accord
ing TO Commissioner Hams, means
canal with tide lock.
But Commissioner Wallace. 1t ap-
pears from a New York interview, dis
sents from this view. He is quoted
as saying that no tide lock will be
necessary TO control the difference In
the tide. THE canal will he forty
seven miles long and will take up this
difference. We do not place locks at
Sandy Hook TO control the tide in the
Hudson, and that river is always nav.
igable. So will the canal be navlga.
BILE at all times" without tide lock,
concludes Mr.. Wallace.
Here we have an interesting di.
vergence of opinion between two of
the new commissioners on vital
scientific and practical, though not
Issue. The need OF al
thorough consideration of the Ques-
tlon is obvious. That IL will receive
such consideration no one has reason

DEATH IN sUBwAY
Editor Criswsll Falls Bsfsrs Exprsss
 and is CrosnA to Pieces.

New York, Aug 4.-Robert W. Cris- well, editor of weekly publication, who was arrested recently on a charge of criminal libel, preferred by Repre- sentative Joseph T. Rhinock of the Covlngton. Ky, district, was killed last night by an express train at the Sey- enty-secOnd street station of the sub way.s
 The libel charge against Criswell grew out of the publication of an arti- cle refecting upon Mir Rhinock and censuring Representative Nicholas Longworth of Ohio for having intro duced Miss Alice Roosevelt to the Ken lucky congressman during the visit of the presidents daughter in Cincinnati Criswell was arrested July 12, last, and was held in $1,O0O bail for trial. The accused man published an apology in subsequent issue of the paper.
 The death of Criswell last night ere ated something of panic in the crowd ed express station at Seventy street. Witnesses of the tragedy say the man came upon the station plat form evidently in hurry and seemed restless while waiting for a train. A doWn-toWn express was moving into the station when Criswell was seen to walk close to the edge of the platform. Just as the first car of the long train approached the point where he was standing, Criswell toppled over upon the tracks. His head was completely severed from his body.
 Many women on the platform faint ed and downtown traffic in the sub- way was delayed for nearly an hour while policemen and railway employees worked to remove the horribly mangIed remains. It was some time before the vlctlms identity was established News of the tragedy was conveyed to his wife at an uptown hotel.
