Some openly denounced a system of gov
eminent which permitted such wanton
DETACHMENT and destruction. The MEM
bers of the commission who are said TO
be the responsible ones were severely
criticised by Washingtonian and visitor
alike
In order to move the Shepherd and
Beck elms great excavation has been dug
about fifteen feet deep around the trees.
The branching roots have to be pulled
from the surrounding soil and wrapped in
burlap while the wOrkmen have turneled
entirely beneath the principal roots.
1t was announced that the Beck elm
will have been placed in position on the
lawn in the southeast part of the Botanic
Garden park, fronting on Maryland ave-
nue. between 1st and I'd streets, today.
AS to Shepherd Elm.
W. R. Smith. superintendent of the
that if the Shepherd elm is to be moved
1t should he replanted near the site of the
proposed Shepherd monument in front of
the municipal building. But whether the
suggestion will be acted upon he could
not say.
Mr. Smith said today he was toe angry
to go in sight of the work of despoilia-
ton. Therefore he was practically a re-
cluse during the forenoon in the lighthouses
or his home. When seen by a Star re-
porter he said the ems that are being
moved may possible live. but the great
oak has a long tap root. which If cut or
otherwise injured at this time after the
tree has become established and reached
the age of the Crittenden oak will result
in the death of the tree.
NO explanation has been offered MIR

Gen. Grant should not be placed in the

come. But no one can name its lease on
life should 1t be removed.
Mr.. Reynolds, assistant superintendent
of the Botanic Garden. was an interested
spectator of the work of excavating about
the trees and hosting them on the big
truck. He pointed out that in removing
the Shepherd tree it will be necessary to
handle a great ball of soil about the roots
ten feet square and about nine feet deep.
That. he said would give some idea of
the magnitude of the task.
Supt Smith said the reason he had pro-
posed that the Shepherd elm should be
placed at the entrance of the new Dis
trict government structure near the statue
of Gov. Shepherd is because the tree Is a
Washington elm, being both historical and
memorial. and, further, because of his
desire to do anything he can to honor the
memory Of the late Alexander Shepherd.
In New Location
The Beck elm was planted late yester-
day afternoon in it's new location on the
Maryland avenue side Of the Botanic Car
den. nearly opposite the heroic monument
Of the late President Garfield In ex-
cavating for the planting of the tree the
workmen struck water. which, at that
point, is said to rise and fall with the
tides. as the old Tiber creek passes be-
meath the park on its way to the James
Creek canal and the Potomac. % L. Rey-
nolds, assistant superintendent of the b.
tanic Garden. has suggested a means of
draining the water off to prevent the rot
ting of the roots of the famous elm

Lanes LASSO STOPS
DANGEROUS RUNAWAY

Richard Lane, the lieutenant OF
the mounted police, last "Wednesday
afternoon made gallant stop of a
runaway. In which the usefulness of
the lariat now carried by the mount
ed officers was amply demonstrated.
The runaway started from King
street near the railroad station, u
large. spirited horse attached to a
wagon with load of charcoal. run
ming ut Il great rate down King
street and up Liliha. A little above
Vineyard the runaway collided with
horse attached to a milk wagon,
throwing IL down. The runaway
then turned and ran back towards
King street.
At this point Lane came on the
scene. He was riding down Liliha
when he saw the runaway In the
distance. He Immediately gave
chase and came up with 1t close to
Kukui street, Just as the outlaw was
turning into 4 space crowded with
people. Lane. with the practice bred
of many years on the ranches of Ha-
wall, threw his rope with unerring
aim, catching the runaway fair. He
threw II to the ground, and jumping
to its head held it down until 1t
could be extricated from the harness.
Luckily, no great damage was done.
