Plumbing Rules Amendments.

To the Editor Of The Star:
1 read with pleasure the article in We'd
nesday's Star about the new rule that
will save house builders $4,000 by doing
away with section 1OJ of the plumbing
regulations. SO that they no longer make
1t compulsory to place q running trap In
the sewer from houses. All the property
owners. builders and master plumbers
would like to see still another change In
the rules Section IS Of the regulations
should be eliminated. 1t reads: mo
person shall cut or tap. or cause to De
cut or tapped, any public sewer In which
there exists q branch or junction opposite
to the building, lot premises. or estab-
lishment to be connected Information
concerning the location and depth OF pub
lie sewers, and the position of branches
or functions, will be furnished, when re-
ouested. by the permit clerk. All rea-
sonable care will be taken to insure the
correctness of such information. but
such correctness will not be in any case
guaranteed by the Commissioners"
AS this rule stands we have to cut up
the improved streets looking for those
ina Rinary Y branches that are located
for us by the sewer department. The
Commissioners will not guarantee the
correctness of information furnished,
and after we dig up and uncover the
main sewer we may find no branches
according to measurements. We are then
allowed to tap the main sewer. So
think the house builders would save
more than $4,000 in any year If
the Commissioners would do away
with section 65 and allow US to run the
house sewer direct to main sewer and
make connection thereto, and not com
pei US to make haphazard connections
as we are doing at present.

The Tree-Killers.

To the Editor Of The Star:
Through the columns Of your paper l
desire to call attention to the condition
OF the shade trees of the city. Cannot
something be done at once to destroy the
caterpillarS. and the cOcoons they have
formed and are forming? The worms had
an unusually early start this year and
have matured and are now forming their
cocoOnS on the trees and houses, and
unless something is done very soon to
destroy these cocoOns. a new crop of
caterpillars will be Matched by the billion
and literally eat up every shade tree in
the city The trees should be sprayed
and men should burn and destroy the
cocoons by the million and billion, and if
this is not done you will find that In six
weeks from this day our beautiful shade
trees will be destroyed by the second
crop of caterpiIlars. Trimming the trees
or turning the hose on them will not kill
a worm. Something must be done at
once il the trees are to be saved.

Ill and Out of Funds.

III health and financial embarrassment,
it is thought by the police, prompted
Dean to take his life. He came to this
city from Hattiesburg. where his father
conducts a sawmill, about three weeks
ago and registered at the National Hotel.
He had suit case containing wearing
apparel. but no other baggage.
To persons with whom he became ac-
quainted at the hotel he stated that he
had come north for his health and he
had been treated at Johns Hopkins Hos
pital. Baltimore, several times since he
reached here. He was neatly dressed.
although His clothing was well worn. and
he never spent much money about the
hotel. He pawned a ring several days
ago, and yesterday afternoon when he
left the hotel to purchase the poison he
had only cents and cheap nickel
watch in his pockets.
Unnoticed, he entered the park last
night, crawled beneath the shrubbery and
took the fatal dose. If he made any out
cries it is probable that nobody heard
him. Immediately after the body was
discovered this morning the police con-
veyed 1T to the morgue.
Coroner hewitt viewed the body at the
morgue, learned of the conditions under
which it was found and gave certificate
in accordance with the facts. 1t was
stated at the National Hotel this morning
that Dean had not settled his bill there.
