WHITE HOUSE TREES DIE.
Former Secretary Hitchcock viii Give
Third washington Oak"

Ethan Allen Hitchcock. former sec.
rotary of the interior, has called on
the president and told him that he
would make a third attempt to break
the "hoodoo" which seems TO hover
over or under, the eastern terrace Of
the White House, and has thus far
killed two Washington oaks" If the
third succumbs Mr.. Hitchcock says
he will give it up,
When Mr. Hitchcock was ambassa-
dor to Russia he picked up a handful
.of acnrns from beneath the Washing
ton oak that Charles Sumner had
planted in the Peterhof grounds, The
acorns picked up by Mr. Hitchcock
were taken to his summer home in
New Hampshire. and there grew into
sturdy little trees which are now
about ten years old
Soon after President Mckinley in.
yited Mr.. Hitchcock into his cabinet
the latter noticed large bare plot of
ground near the eastern gate of the
White House grounds and asked the
president If he would not plant one of
the little Washington oaks on the
spot. President Mckinley said he
would be glad to do so. and one after
noon handled the spade at the tree
planting ceremony. For a time the tree
then it withered and died
without apparent cause,
After President Roosevelt succeeded
President Mckinley another of the
oaks was planted, the president wieid-
ing the spade. II did well for a time, |
then dropped and died Now, to prove !
hat he is not superstitious, Mr.. |
Hitchcock will send to New Hamp |
shire for a third tree.
