CALLS MISS GARDEN CRUEL
Mrs. David Mayer Gives Her Version
of $4,000 Snub.


Chicago, March 29-Mrs. David May.
er. who recently requested Miss Gar
den to pay back $4,000 that the May
ers had advanced for her musical edu-
cation. makes the following statement
of the trouble between them:
81 did not wish to make any public
statement about the Garden affair, but
so many calumnies and perverted sto-
ries have been circulated that 1 deem
1t necessary and fair to do so.
Il first met Mary Garden fifteen
years ago in Mrs. Duss' studio in Chi
cago and was at once attracted by her
charming personality and lovely voice
We became as thought, good friends
Two or three years later, when her
parents were obliged to leave Chicago
offered her the hospitality of my
home, which she accepted for year
Thus she was able to continue her
studies with Mrs. Duss.
"Mrs. Duss became so enthusiastic
over her pupils progress that 1 de-
cided to give her the advantage of two
years study in Paris. An additional
year was added through the pleading
Of Miss Garden. After that my respon'
sibllity and remittances ceased. From
that time a hostile feeling apparently
rose, but left no traces when l met
Miss Garden four years ago in Paris.
"While it was clearly understood
that she was to return to me the mon
ey advanced for her musical education
If successful, never attempted to col
lect the money nor did intend to dc
so until Miss Gardens slight at the
Manhattan Opera House last Decem
ber. This. so unwarranted, cruel and
uncalled for, incensed me and led me
to consult my lawyer, who was in
New York at the time, and resulted In
my receiving $50 900 from Miss Gar
den"

CLASHES ON TARIFF
Fate of Lumber and Hides

DIFFERENCES BECOME ACUTE,

Washington, March 29.-The fate Of
lumber and hides in the proposed new
tariff law is causing severe factional
struggle in congress.
The schedules on these articles have
been buffeted already more than those
on any other class Of imports. The
clashes have occurred largely between
the representatives of the east and
west, and there is a prospect of the
differences becoming so sharp that the
Democrats from the southern states
may determine the outcome.
The supporters Of protection on
hides express hope of inducing the
senate committee to recommend the
continuance Of the Dingley rates. The
western senators on the committee
have proved particularly strong advo-
Gates of the restoration of the duty
while Senator Lodge is said to stand
almost alone in his campaign for free
hides. although 1t is conceded that he
will receive some support from east.
ern colleagues.
Champions of the movement to take
the duty off lumber entirely are not SC
sanguine of success as the advocates
of free hides so far as their contest in
the committee is concerned. The fight
is being led by Senator McCumber.
Regardless of the vote of the com.
mittee. the advocates Of free lumber
and free hides have been promised
separate votes on these questions in
the senate, and they are satisfied with
| this concession.
The greatest interest is being mani
tested in the maximum and minimum
features of the Payne bill as q substi
tute for the existing reciprocity ar
rangements. There is a well defined
rumor that the committee on finance
will upset the principle of making the
established rate the minimum with 9
20 per cent retaliatory increase to bt
| applied to countries which fail to give
their best rate to the United States.
If 1t should be decided to reverse
this proposition so as to make the es
tablished rate the maximum and give
to the most friendly nations favored
rate of 20 per cent less it is asserted
that the rates in the Payne bill would
have to be raised all along the line OF
the theory that all great nations would
take such action that they would be
given the lower rate. Thus the reve
nues under the bill would be reduced
materially.

INVESTMENT IN TREES.
Experience Of an Expert In Cultivat.
ina Forests.

Experience of an Expert In Cultivat.
ing Forests.
The planting and care of forest trees
have been carried on for several years
now by State Forester A. f. Hawes of
Connecticut, with interesting results.
Mr.. Hawes' experience, boiled down to
a few lines, indicates that for sandy,
cheap lands, such as were used for
most of the experiments, the best trees
are pines-white Scotch, Norway and
pitch. 1t appears that in the long run
white pine is the best, the trees being
cheaper and the growth through a
term of years being equal to any and
the lumber of good market value. The
Norway pine is also considered very
satisfactory. although the trees cost
more at the outset. The Scotch pine is
very rapid grower and will do well
for planting In open spaces, white
pines requiring some shade of bushes
or brush to do its best at the start.
Two-year-old trees are most satisfac-
tory.
The young pines can be bought for
about $3 per thousand and at five or
six feet apart are set 1900 to the acre,
In fairly open land the cost Of plant
ing was $1.70 per thousand. with high
er costs in rough or bushy ground. EX
animation of a number of old planta-
tions of white pine in the state indi-
Gates that with cheap lands and low
cost planting the pine would prove
profitable as a crop, paying at least :
per cent compound interest at present
prices of lumber, with every probabil-
ity that prices will be higher by the
time paintings now made are ready for
market.
Attention is called to the very rapid
way in which the investment increases
by compound interest and taxes. 1t is
plainly unfair that the lumber crop
should be taxed over and over again
during growth, the tax gradually eat
ing up the profit from the plantation
1t would seem that every state wOuld
see the advantage Of encouraging bust
ness tree planting by abating the tax
on past growth and taxing only the
IhCICuoCs All IhNNHN'
ment of $5 per acre for land and 81!
for planting, compound interest and
taxes, in Connecticut amounts to S77
by the thirteenth year and to $3.50 in
seventy years. The present value OF
old plantations indicates that the
growth of pine lumber would pay fol
the investment and interest If original
cost were kept as low as possible. The
amount of lumber in one planting sew
enty years old showed that the annua
growth had been around a thousand
feet, indicating a yearly average in
come Of SO per acre for seventy years
Such figures indicate that forestry is q
very good business investment for the
state as well as being desirable for
other reasons.

Creates Budget Committee
TO Gut Expenses.
1T WILL CHECK THE ESTIMATES
New Board, Headed by Secretary OF
the Treasury MacVeagh, Expect
ed to Force Retrenchment
In Departments.

Washington, March 30. - Following
out a plan which he submitted to the
cabinet at its first meeting, President
Taft has introduced an innovation in
the federal government by creating
budget committee" This committee
is composed of three members of the
cabinet, with Secretary of the Treas
ury MacVeagh as chairman. Its duty
is to supervise all estimates for fed
eral expenses before they are submit
ted to congress, with a view to so cut
ting them as to bring them within the
limits Of the estimated revenues for
the same fiscal year.
President Taft is In entire sympathy
with the avowed aim of congress to
curtail the federal expenses so as to
restore that prosperity which until
quite recently the treasury has enjoy
ed. He has conferred with members
Of both houses Of congress and has
approved their suggestion that 1t Is
obviously the reverse of good business
policy for the executive branch of the
government to plan its expenses with
Oub ACSoho " IhC phVopONLiNC
nues and then look to the legislative
branch to make up any deficiency
which may occur.
The newly created senate committee
on the expenditures of the executive
departments is another step in the
same direction and Is intended to pro-
vide second check on the federal eX-
ahtof af hn
committee is to curtail the total ap-
preparations so that they may be
brought within the limit of estimated
revenues.
To those who have witnessed spasms
of economy in the executive depart
ments, but more particularly in con-
gress, this movement is the occasion
of special interest. "Will congress
really prove willing to exercise that
self restraint which is the first essen
tial to economy?' is the question ask
ed by all who have observed similar
movements in the past.
There is some ground for believing
that members of congress will be more
nearly ready to do their part in
this regard than heretofore, because
through the operation of the civil serv-
ice regulations they no longer control
large part of the appointments to
federal Office.
Pursuant to the policy outlined Sec
retary MacVeagh issued a circular let
ter to all heads of bureaus in his de-
partment urging that immediate con-
sideration be given to the problem of
feasible economies. The secretary
says:
THE president wishes the treasury
department as well as the other de-
partments of the government to take
immediate measures to consider the
question of such economies in expend-
ture as may be found by the most com
petent study to be feasible. 1t is in
tended to make the estimates of eX-
penditures for the next and future
years with the greatest care, and it is
desirable that the attention of this de-
partment should be directed as early
as possible to the general study of this
matter.
"It is the intention that the esti-
mates of the different departments
shall hereafter be submitted to the
cabinet and that they shall be consid-
cred together and as whole and in
connection with the treasury estimates
of the probable income"

Improved nut trees begin bearing at
about six or eight years, bearing the
same as apple or pear trees. Large
trees when grated begin to bear about
the third or fourth year, and large
trees that are budded will bear sooner
than small ones, but the small ones
bear longest. English walnuts can
