Botanic Garden Controversy
Remains Unsettled.
GEN. DODGE SENDS INQUIRY
Statue Commissioner Asks About
Changing the Site.
POOLE WAITS ON THE COURT
Nothing Will Be Done Until In
junction Proceedings Are Dis
posed of bf Justice Gould.

Gen. Grenvi,e M. Dodge. chairman of
the Grant memorial commission, Is anx-
ious to save the historic trees in the
Botanic Garden. and whatever may be the
outcome of the injunction proceedings
next Friday before Justice Gould. it Is
likely that the Crittenden oak and its
venerable ne!ghbors will remain undis-
turbed until the general and Mr.. Freder-
lex Low Oimsted. representing the park
commission can confer with the authori-
ties of the War Department and deter
mine whether the site of the statue can
be changed.
Gen. Oliver acting secretary of war,
who has gone to his home at Albany, N.
Y. on private business. Is expected to re-
sumo his official duties at the War De-
partment tomorrow. He has received
brief telegram from Gen, Dodge acknowi-
edging the receipt OF Gen. divers tels-
gram informing him of the protests
against the threatened destruction of the
trees. and suggesting that Gen. Dodge
come to Washington and give personal
consideration to the subject.
Hopes to Save Trees.
Gen. Dodge's telegram is dated Coun-
ell Bluffs Iowa. October IL. 1907, and is
in part as follows
1T Is impossible for me to go to Wash
ington for a month OF more, as l am en-
route west on a business trip and cannot
return. 1 have wired the superintende mt
of public buildings and grounds and hope
we can arrange to save the trees with
out detriment to the monument Please
see my dispatch to him."
Gen. Dodge's telegram to the superin-
tendent of public buildings and grounds
was turned over to Capt. Poole, Corps of
Engineers, who is acting in that capacity
in the temporary absence of Col. Brom-
well. 1t is, in substance as follows:
The Evening Star wires me that if the
statue is moved ten fleet east or west it
would save the trees. Would that inter-
fere in the general plan that governed
the experts in making the present loca
ton? Do you see any objection to this
change? Please wire me fully to Council
Bluffs
Capt. Poole's Reply.
Capt. Poole telegraphed Gen. Dodge to-
day in reply to his inquiries as follows:
Moving statue ten feet east would not
save trees Moving ten feet west would
save Crittenden oak. but would leave same
immediately against center of memorial.
Have wired Olmsted. Am awaiting action
of court on October IS. Am not familiar
with general plan that governed experts
in selecting present location.
1t Is said at the War Department that
further action will be taken by the
officials of that department regarding the
Grant memorial pending the decision of
the court on the application to enjoin the
destruction of certain historic trees on
the proposed site in the Botanic Garden.
The hearing the temporary injunction
will take place next FRIDAY
