TERROR DAY, a distinctively Ameri-
can holiday from the outset, has
y y come to have of recent years a new
significance and a more general observ-
Rnce. All over the United States and in
portions Of Canada this interesting an
hua1 occasion receives each successive
year an increasing amount of attention
from the public. President Roosevelt has
also set the seal Of official approval on
the unique institution by issuing a procla-
nation TO the schoolchildren OF the
United States urging them to devote the
day not only to special exercises, but
also to actual tree planting.
The secret Of this growing attention to
Arbor Day is not hard TO hnd. 1t grows
out of q deepening realization Of the I'M
portance Of trees to US as a nation The
American people have suddenly awakened
TO the fact that not only Is the lumber
supply of the country being exhausted at
dangerously rapid rate. with no pros.
pect of replenishing. but worse yet the
wanton waste Of our forests has a sequel

planters set out upward of half a million
trees, most of them located In the ma

who desire TO set out trees on their prop

valuable experiments In nursery ard

There 10 also a commendable tendency
on the part of the officials of public
schools TO ertrust the planting of trees
on Arbor Day to persons who have prac-
tical knowledge of the task. The pupils
assist in the work, to be sure, but the
work is done under competent supervision.

The first states TO follow the example
OF Nebraska in adopting Arbor Day were
Michigan and Minnesota, which took ac-

steady procession Of other states, the leg
islatures OF which became converts to the
popular idea In 1887 the movement took
root In Canada and the Education Depart
ment OF Ontario set apart a day on
which the trustees Of every rural school
and incorporated village were desired to
plant shade trees and make flower beds.

NEW YORK, April 11.-One cent thai

copper coins were all that Pasquale
Pati. his sons and sons-in-law left in
their private bank in Elizabeth street
when they locked the door at midnight
recently, loaded satchels into their au-

Achille Starace qualified as receiver
for Pasquale Patti & Son and took pos

his counsel, Sidney Rosenbaum, had
opened the massive door the truth so
fatetul to thousands of the east side
poor was known. Everywhere was evil
dence that the bank had been looterd.
The safes We're open and empty. In the
haste to escape the trusted friend of
the poor had slammed the outer doors,
so that the safes looked secure from
the street, but did not stop even to
turn the combination locks.
All the books and papers, so far as
the first days examination showed
were left in the bank, but facts discov-
cred yesterday by the World indicate
that there is little hope for the bankers $
clients to receive any part of the 81, ,50O-
600 which PATHS representatives de-
clared was on deposit. Enough had
been learned of Pati's false represent
tions, before the receiver had entered,
to reveal monumental swindler. AL

grounds for asking Pati's arrest on
criminal charges

left the bank last night and pushed his
way through throngs of excited

Farmer Morton secured the adoption Of
the Arbor Day project more than three
hundred and fifty million trees and vines
were planted In Nebraska. and the work
is still going on.

Of Nebraska has sought to encourage tree
planting by every means possible. For In

constitution of the state to the effect that
in assessing taxes upon lands no account
should be taken of live fences, fruit or
forest trees grown or cultivated on the
property-a boon to nurserymen. A stat

purpose requires the authorities of cities
and towns to plant shade trees along the

by Mr.. Morton. although some of his col

nval The new scheme proved an en-
phatic success, ana more than one million
trees were planted throughout Nebraska
on that first Arbor Day. Not only were
the children of the public schools inter-
ested from the outset, but individuals
and local societies Of various kinds par
ticipated. This was due In part. no doubt.
TO the fact that the Nebraska State

agricultural society OF that county which

trees and provided a farm library worth

The year following Arbor Day was OBJ
served throughout Nebraska with In
creased enthusiasm. and in 1874 the gov
ernor, by official proclamation, designated
the second Wednesday OF April as Arbor
Day for Nebraska. In 1855, when the
legislature of the state formally desfg-
mated Arbor Day as a holiday. the date
was changed to April %. II Nebraska
can be taken as an example the influence
OF Arnor Day is certainly most beneficial.
aud the great pity Is that all the other
states could not have placed the holiday
on their offlcial calendars as early as did
