Trees In the Park.

An old resident states that David
Tappan, an old-uime merchant in
Morristown can be thanked for the
present trees in the park. He saw
the necessity Of trees there and talked
it up among his farmef customers.
As a result an arbor day was appoint
ed and general invitation extended
to everyone who desired to bring a
tree. They brought all kinds and set
them out where they pleased, account
ing for their present irregularity. AM
other resident who remembers the
Park before the tree days, says that
sumac bushes and briars grew there
in profusion in his early days. Before
his time the circuses used to pitch
their tents on the Green when in this

New York, March 17.-Mrs. William
Copley Thaw was served here with pa
pers in which she is made a codefend-
ant with her son, Harry K. Thaw, in
the action instituted by the latters
wife, Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, to annul
their marriage AS Harry Thaw is an
inmate of an insane asylum, he is in
the eyes of the law legally dead, and
the next of kin becomes technically the
actual defendant In the case.
Service of papers was made on Har-
ry Thaw in Matteawan Hospital For
the Criminal Insane.

know the facts that any financial set

between the Thaw family and Evelyn

Although Mrs. Thaw Is suing to have
her marriage with Harry X. Thaw an

admitted that the real causes are quite
different
What the true reasons are promise to
be a mystery forever, for she will not
discuss them, After making the follow
ing statement she begged to be ex-
cused from further questioning:
despite the fact / am using my hus-
band to have our marriage annulled on

1t Is understood that the elder Mrs.
Thaw looks with favor upon her daugh
ter-in-law's suit and that she is largely
responsible for seeing that the young
woman's future is provided for. She be

DEFECTS IN OUR SHIPS.
Senate Naval COMMITTEES Hears Of
Serious Faults In Vessels.


Serious Faults In Vessels.
Washington, March f7.-That there
are serious defects in the construction
of American battleships was charged
by Captain Cameron McRea Winslow,
assistant chief of the bureau of navi-
cation of the navy department, and
Commander A. L. Key, former naval
aid to President Roosevelt, before the
senate committee which is Investigate
ing the navy.
The former officer said the ships un
der Admiral Evans were all overdraft
when they left Hampton Roads. Com.
mander Key criticised the armor belt
and the gun decks as being too low
and the ammunition holsts unsafe He
attempted to dispute the testimony Of
other officers, especially Chief Con
structor Capps, but was not permitted
to do so.
Captain Winslow, defending Admiral
Rojestvensky, used the fate of the
Russian feet as an illustration of the
danger of going into action with the
armor belt too far under water. At
tAiN ooAhC tAAhO AC SttAQ ludL luc Sulpo
should carry at least two-thirds their
capacity of coal and full ammunition
and stores.
He said that two-thirds supply of all
stores would make all American bat
tleships too low, and therefore the ar
NOR belt should be raised. He could
not state the exact amount, as he said
1t would vary on the different ships
There was no need, said Captain
Winslow, for more than four feet of
armor below the water line
The witness was asked to compare
certain types of Amegican ships with
the contemporary class of British
ships. He took the Connecticut and
the Lord Nelson and in gunnery said
the British ship has made better rec
ords for rapid shooting with her bat
terry Of 90 inch guns than had been
made with the Connecticut's eight
inch guns. He thought this achieve
ment was-due probably to the hoists.
He added that the Michigan and the
South Carolina We're a great improve
ment over the Lord Nelson and "pos-
sibly superior to anything in the Brit
ish navy"

State Inspector Beyier's Criticism.
A letter has been. received by the
local board of education from Louis
Bevier. Jr., state Inspector, Of High
Schools criticising the facilities for
high school work in Morristown. He
objects particularlyTte the room used
for science studies aud the absence Of
a proper study room ,Yhere the pupils
may study without Interruption from
other classes reciting. Mr.. Bevier sug-
gests that it is time that Morristown
in order to keep up with live towns in
the state should provide a modern
building for high school work exclu-
sively. The need has been appreciat-
ed for some years, Superintendent
Haven referring to itat a meeting of
the Alumni Association of the High
School two or three years ago when he
suggested that there was a good field
for some alumnus TO. perpetuate his
name by giving such structure.

The express companies are planning
to raise the express rate on packages
between New York aud Morristown
from fifty to sixty cents per hundred
pounds, twenty per cent. advance
without any apparent reason. 1t would
appear that it is case where the
Business Mems Association might get
busy and voice the objections which
will undoubtedly arise from any such
arbitrary increase. 1t might be case
for the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, although thatfbody has to do
mainly with inequalities in charge
rather than the rate itself. The rail-
roads, according to report, are plan
ming to increase freight rates ten per
cent. to maintain their revenue on the
decreased business of which they COM
plain. A lire of automobiles er trucks
between New York aud Morristown
might help both of these conditions.
