RESPITE FOR TREES
Brief HaltCalled in DeStrUc-
tiOn of Historic Oak.
EXPLANATION FROM POOLE
He and Capt. Morrow Declare that
in Clearing Site for Gen. Grant
Monument They Are Merely Car
rying Out Orders of the Monument
COmmissIon-Have No Discretion.

Although there has been no change Of
heart in the woodman who is 10 cut down
those two famous trees that grace the
Botanic Gardens, TO make way for the
Grant Monument. they must ultimately
go, although a respite Of several days has
been granted.
That the ak of this woodman will also
cut other trees in the Botanic Gardens,
or that he will turn from his hewiug Of
ancient trees to the pastime Of changing
the appearance OF the entire downtown
portion Of the city and entirely rearrange
streets and buildings, was declared i'm
probable by an official of the District gov
ernment.
Although engineers IN the employ Of the
department were busily engaged yester-
day in finishing the laying out Of the
foundation for the Grant Monument. the
trees still stood when work stopped. Of
fcials of the gardens said that the work
Of decapitation will not commence until
some day next week.
Then the tree planted by former Sen
ator Beck OF Kentucky, Will probably
go by the AK The famous Crittenden
peace tree" will. however. survive for
many days. in fact. until the last mo-
ment. Several other trees now standing
near the Beck and Crittenden trees will
likely be cut down AT the same time
that the Beck tree is destroyed. but the
Crittenden tree viii remain for a while.
Carrying Out Orders.
Capt. John II. Poole. who is acting. in
the absence Of Col Cromwell. as the head
of the Grand Monument Commission. said
yesterday that he was merely carrying
out the orders Of the commission In the
work now under way in the corner Of the
gardens.
He declared that personally he was
sorry 20 see the famous trees destroyed.
but that he had no discretion in the
matter.
Capt. Poole said that when he first sent
men to lay out the foundations for the
new monument some opposition had been
shown by Mr. Smith. the superintendent.
This opposition was overcome later and
the work Of setting the stakes for the
foundation was continued by the en-
gineers. Capt. Poole declared that there
is no one in washington al this time who
for the monument or the place where it
is to be located.
Capt Jay ]. Morrow, Engineer Com
missioner, said last night that he be-
lieved that the erection Of the Grant
Monument was not under the super
vision Of the Park Commission, and as
serted that in all probability the latter
commission knew nothing about the site

Failures in Criminal Justice.

From the New York World.
An examination of the census will show
that our annual lists Of homicides range
from 1000 TO l0.000-the highest rate
of any civilized country. These fig
ures are appalling. But what is the
cause? Mr. Clemens attributes it TO In
efficient and ignorant detectives, but in
all probability the chief cause is simply
the Inefficient administration OF our GRIM
inal procedure. In England justice is
swift and reasonably sure. Here II IS
neither. Each criminal trial develops into
battle Of experts who fence with the
technical rules originally laid down To
protect the untustly accused, but which
have now been turned into weapons
