NO PLAGUE OF CATERPILLARs.
Rumor of Wholesale Destruction of Park
Trees Denied.

The cry that the trees IN the parks are being de-
nuded OF leaves by a plague OF caterpillars Is a
false one, according to Edmund B. SOuthwick the
city's entOmoogist In all my experience I have
never known the trees to be in such splendid condi
tion,' he said yesterday
According to Mr.. Southwick the report arose be-
cause a solitary tree in Battery Park became af-
fected by the caterpillar plague This tree was
behind fence erected by the firm building the
subway tunnel and could not be reached by the
Park Departments experts
There are solitary instances to be found here
and there, the entomOlOgist said. but they are
few and far between. Leaves are falling OF
course. but it is because Of natural causes Some
trees in the mall in Central Park are dying OF a
fungus growth. but nothing can be done For them,
and new trees are being planted to take their
place"
