NO DANGER OF MORE TREES
Commissioner Morrow Reassures
Avenue Business Men.
Declares that M IncreHse I'm Number
Is Contemplated Along Great
ThOrouEhfare.

That the business men along Pennsyl-
vania avenue and its main tributaries
need not be alarmed about the increase
Of trees along that thoroughfare, was
made apparent yesterday when Commis-
sioner Morrow stated that it was not the
intention Of the Commissioners TO plant
any additional trees on that street. The
Commissioner, however. stated that In
those places where the trees had been
destroyed or uprooted or injured in any
way they would be replaced, and that in
some places an additional tree might be
planted, but that these would be few.
Commissioner Morrow was at a loss to
explain the impression that the Avenue
would be made a forest with woodland
lanes and picturesque, and Sshady groves
but said that it was entirely'unfounded
Beyond replanting trees in the places
which they occupied before the resurfac-
ing Of Pennsylvania avenue began. and
the addition Of some along the north
curbing on Market space, between Sew
enth and Eighth streets. no increase in
the number Of trees is contemplated.
A number Of letters have been received
by the Commissioners from Pennsylvania
avenue merchants complaining against
tho injustice of interfering with their
business by planting trees, while others
have heartily commended the contem-
plated action Of the Commissioners, and
urge that they plant as many as possible
1t is thought that when the merchants
learn that no great number Of trees are
to be planted, they will become recon-
ciled to the plan. In speaking Of the
matter Commissioner Morrow said:
From the views and expressions of the
business men who have called on me TO
protest against planting trees along the
Avenue, one would imagine that this
street was as barren and void Of foliage
as a Western desert As a matter of
fact. there is almost a solid line Of trees
on both sides of the Avenue already. and
they have been there for years. When
these men called on me and told me of
the scarcity of trees, I did not argue with
them, but told them TO walk along the
Avenue on their way back to their places
and look at the trees. It was simply
concrete demonstration Of the lack of OBJ
servation. It may be due. however. 10
the fact that the Avenue is wider than
the other streets. and that there is so
much less to attract the attention of

jim CROW CASE ARGUED.
Interstate Commerce Commission
Reserves Its Decision.


The first Jim crow car case under the
new rate law was argued before the
Interstate Commerce Commission vester-
day. It was a test case brought by
Georgia Edwards, a negro woman Of
Chattanooga, against the Nashville. Chat
tanooga and st. Louis Railroad The COM
plainant was represented by William H. H.
Hart, a negro lawyer Of Washington. who
was formerly an employe Of the late
William NJ. Evarts; the railroad COM
pany answered through its attorney. John
Tye, of Atlanta
The petition sets up discrimination. but
specifies particularly the unequal accom-
modations. Attorney Hart, for the com
plainant directed his argument almost
entirely to the illegality Of the separation
of passengers. He was reminded by
Chairman Knapp that the petition did not
raise the issue Of segregation. but alleged
unequal accommodations. The commits
sion reserved its opinion It Is under
stood the case will be carried into the
courts and the consututonality Of the Tim
crow car in interstate commerce tested In

FALL OF FLOOR UNAVOIDABLE
Building Inspector Reports on the
Gaiety Theater Accident,
Two Men Hurt in Collapse of Third
Floor Are in the Emergency
Hospital.

Albert Lincoln. twenty-three years old.
ana William Thomas. twenty-seven. were
injured yesterday morning when the fire.
proof flooring on the third story of the
new Gaiety Theater fell. carrying 10 the
ground floor a quantity of terra Gotta and
cement. The men were taken to the
Emergency Hospital, where 1t was found
that Lincoln was suffering from conCus-
sion Of the brain, while Thomas had re-
ceived injuries about the head and body.
The accident caused loud report which
soon drew an immense crowd about the
building, and exaggerated rumors soon
brought Mai Sylvester and the police
reserves to the scene.
After 81 investigation the chief of DO
lice returned to the District Building,
while Building Inspector Ashford re-
mslned to prepare an official report on
the accident The building inspector said
that It was a typical builders accident
and could only have been avoided by ex-
traordinarv watchfulness.
Commissioner Morrow coincided in this
report and added that # was merely an
accident, and as such unavoidable. The
building inspector explained the nature Of
the collapse as follows: The third floor
arch is composed of terra Gotta tile. and I
understand that four men were standing
on 1t packing the concrete with rammers.
They apparently rammed Il too tiRht and
broke the key of the arch. causing the

the workmen and the work stopped. All

official piano Of the jamestown Exposi-

artists who will give concerts from time

sidered as wishing to continue sub
scriptions.
2. II subscribers order the discon-
tinuance of their periodicals, the pub
Usher may continue to send them I'M

8. If subscribers neglect or refuse
20 take their periodicals from post
office to which they are directed they
are responsible until they have settled
their bills and ordered them discon-
tinued.
4. If the subscriber moves to an
other place without informing the pub

former directions, they are held re-
