Arbitrary Action Of officer Stopped
81 All Controversy.

The present movement for the pro
lection of the historical trees in the
Botanic garden remarked one OF the
Oldest Inhabitants TO a Washington
Star reporter. bids fair to be much
more successful than was a similar
movement in behalf OF fine row OF
large trees that once graced the south
side OF Pennsylvania avenue near
Seventeenth street. They were like
the trees In front OF the White House.
and In fact were part of that row.
When the old war department--which
was brick building at the corner of
seventeenth street and Pennsylvania
ayenue-was RACED to the ground In
the late seventies to make room for
the big granite building that now oc-
cupies that space, the question arose
as TO what should be done about the
trees that lined the sidewalk I'm front.
Opinion was equally divided among
those In authority as TO whether they
should be allowed to remain or wheth.
er they should be removed. The resi-.
dents OF the city were almost a unit
in favor of preserving the trees. II
was finally decided by authorities that
proper display of the fine big build.
ing required their removal.

Senator Aldrich has introduced a
Bill in the senate for the purpose of
increasing money circulation. 1t
provides for the issuance OF 25O,-
100000 additional currency upon
state and municipal and first mort
gage railroad bonds with tax at
the rate of one-half of one per cent.
per month. Senator Aldrich de-
clares that this will make our cur
rency system elastic enough to pre-
vent panics. But do we need a
money that's too elastic? Is it safe
to base national currency upon this
that and every kind OF security?

"UNWRITTEN LAW"

The legislature of Virginia now in
session is attacking what is known
as the "unwritten law" The recent
exposition of which is the right to
avenge a wrong upon some female
member of the family Of the accused.
In the Thaw case it was testified to
by Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw that
she related to her husband the in
dignities suffered at the hands OF
Stanford White. and the court held
that the prosecution was not allowed
TO disprove the indignities alleged
TO have been related to Thaw. as the
only question at issue was whether
Mrs. Thaw related these things to
her husband. District Attorney Je-
rome strongly insisted that he should
be allowed to discredit Mrs. Thaw by
showing that Mrs. Thaw was not
even in New York at the time she
claimed 10 have been wronged by
the New York architect. but the
court sustained Attorney Delmas in
his contention that the truth or the
falsity of Mrs. Thaw's statement to
her husband could not be shown in
asmuch as the prisoner was only
concerned as to whether this story
was related 10 him by his chorus
girl wife.
The same construction was placed
upon the law in Virginia in the Low
ing case. 1t will be recalled that
Judge Loving was tried for the muir
der OF young man by the name Of
Estis last year. The accused claimed
TO have been provoked by an ex-
PLANTATION Of his daughter, which led
him TO believe She had suffered an
tndignity at the instance OF the
young man.
The text Of the bill before the Vir-
ginia legislature which is attracting
wide attention is as follows:
An act for the admission OF evil
dence in certain cases OF assault OF
murder and when provocation relied
upon is that wrong had been done
some female member OF the family
OF the accused. Be it enacted by
the General Assembly of Virginia:

did was to have large force OF work

est inhabitant Of the District OF Co
lumbia.
All of DR.. STAIRS ancestors were re-
nowned for longevity, his father dying
at the age OF 1O3, his paternal grand
father at the age OF los, and his great
grandfather at the age of 1O4 years.
DIR. Starr, however, does not attribute
his unusual lease of life in any way to
heredity, but to the fact that he has
always abstained from excuses. and
has lived close to nature.
He fought In the Seminole. Mexican
and civil wars. In 1911 Dr. Starts IA
Their moved to Mahoning county, Ohio,
where he lived at the outbreak OF the
war Of 1912. His father served under
Jackson at New Orleans. DR.. Starr
served under the same general I'm his
campaign against Florida Indians, and
was twice wounded.
At the time the war with Mexico
was declared DIR. Starr had become a
citizen OF Wisconsin, and from that
state he enlisted. He fought in the
artillery and served with Taylor at
Matamoras, Buena Vista, Monterey,
Resaca de la Palma and Cerro Gordo.
In the gold rush Of 1849 he Joined
an OK wagon caravan and crossed the
plains, made $4,000, and went from
there to New Orleans to invest in
sugar plantations. There he married
Miss Lizzie Day, Of that city, in 1857.
She died ia 1864
At the outbreak Of the civil war he
raised a battalion OF 500 men, enlisted
IN the confederate army, served at
Fort Donelson, Shiloh and Vicksburg,
and assisted in repelling Banks inva-
sion Of the Red river country. He was
breyetted for meritorious services.
Greatly impoverished by the war,
DR.. Starr began the study OF botany
and medicine when peace was de.
clared, and practiced with such sue
cess that I'm 1875 he came to Washing.
ton, where he has remained in active
practice ever since.

your husband?"
He's still dead" she said
This impressed him. The woman
became associated in his mind with
one idea. A month later he ran after

woman beaming. We're Just back
