THE CITY SHADE TREES.

@sHADE trees are necessary features of a city landscape, both
because they afford grateful shade from the sun in the sum-
mer and because of their scenic beauty. In American ciues
GENERALLY heretofore the Importance of the shade tree was not under
stood Trees we're ruthlessly sacrificed at the demands OF the
builder and the public utility corporation, and nothing was done TO
reneH the tree growth. Insects destroyed trees without any check
or nd attempt to find a remedy. Cities are getting to be better CIVIL
izadsl Newarh, has made great progress in the care and renewal of
its shade trees, and has set an example for other cities II the state
to follow. New York city has been dereict, but there is now a
sentimen awakened that will soon have practical expression. Man.
haitian looks bare of yerdure compared with Paris or vienna. In
Providence a campaign has been inaugurated for beautlfylng school
wards and neglected streets with trees, and business firms have sub.
scribed to a tree fund. Western cities are purchasing elms IN the
Fash for planting. People there who emigrated from the East retain
ther affection for the old elms, which have of late years been so
sadly neglected. Newark, with a long start of other cities, will in a
few Years be a city beautiful in its shade trees. !.

A FEW SUGGESTIONS.

The handsome purses offered for
~aeroplane trips from st. Louis and
Chicago to New York are likely to
stimulate aerial travel to that ex-
tent where the following traffic
rules may not be out of order:
At the captive balloon which
marks each air line crossing avia-
tors must slow down and avoid the
risk of a collision.
Aviators must keep to the right of
the air lines.
The sky-pilot who steers directly
into an injunction must all
responsibility. Sail over OF under
them.
Cloud-chauffeurs must not offer
the excuse of accidents to their
wind-wagons If they fall into a
crowd. Such a proceeding is highly
illegal.
Bird-men who are in doubt about
their patents are urged to be sure
they're not Wright before they go
ahead.

An Interesting Query.

To the Editor of the Evening Star;
Has a vice chancellor DorSthe head of
any court in New Jersey, the right to
order a court-roomicleared? OF course,
I understand, as a matter Of public
policy, that it is a good thing to have
such a room closed when the at.nos
phere becomes too ~impregnated with
disgusting details of human misery.
But what I want to know is, whether
any court has any legal right to ex-
Guide everybody except counsel and the
principals in a case.
l read the other day in the STAR
that Vice-Chancellor Emery did this
during the trial of a divorce case, and
heard 0 o afterward that former
Chancellor Magic once declared that the
exclusion of everybody, except those
named. from a courtroom, was not
warranted by law. Is that so?

ANy}THER POTENT FACTOR IN STATE POLITICS.

bTFo HE general advance in the Communication rates of the railroads
lin New Jersey will have an appreciate effect in State poll
tics. High prices of necessaries have created a wide feeling
of discomfort, and the refusal by the Legislature last winter to
enact the cold storage bills that would have crippled the power of
combinations to maintain high prices has suggested the proper
target for the popular brick next fall. 1t will not be forgotten that
the same Legislature refused to invest the new State Utilities Com
mission with any power such as now might be exercised in the
matter of railroad communication rates. AS the Legislature this
year is Republican in both branches the party organization is
sadd1ed with the entire responsibility for it's legislation. There is
no mere sentimentality in respect to high prices and increased rail
road fares, for these questions touch that sensitive nerve, the
pocket, and no voter is spared the increased expense and the aggra,
walton. 4

DISBURSEMENT OF II OCEAN FRONT.

IN MEXICAN scenery has been so much disfgured by advertising
A\l signboards that the Disguised foreign tourist in the United
States gets the impression that the love of beauty in nature
in this country is strangled by commercialism. Governor Murphy,
during his term, called the attentionAof the Legislature to the DIS
fgurement of the scenery along New Jersey railroads by huge sign
boards and advertisements painted on barns facing the roads, and
suggested preventive legislation or a tax on the slgnboards to DIS
courage their erection. We are now threatened with the dshgure-
ment.o of the ocean front at the summer resorts. At Atlantic City
some speculatiye parties propose to erect a huge electric sign IN ne
surf facing the boardwalk, to spoil the view of the ocean and make
an offensive object for the contemplation of visitors. AS the pro,
posed location of the sign is not in deep water, the war department
cannot interfere, but there is authority in the State to prevent THIS
vulgar outrage. If Atlantic City can be thus disfgured and injured
it won't be long before the same monstrosty will be inflicted upon
the resorts on the upper New Jersey coast.

BIO AERIAL RACES NOW.

m LENTY of money will be forthcoming for aviation races be-
6 d tween New York and Chicago and other long distances, ex
tending. perhaps, from New York to San Francisco. These
contests, with the big money prizes offered, will attract daring avi:
ators from Europe to compete with the Americans, and the world
will witness the greatest tournaments in its history, far transcend
ing In interest the famed Olympian games, ancient or modern. The
popular fascination of a contest is the risk of human life, and there
are risks enough in a race in the air by men in aeropIanes. From
New York to Chicago the aerial racers will have an audience of
millions of people, and will command an interest dwarfng even that
which will be felt onaJuly A in the Jeffries-Johnson fight.

hwill GO into conference to, if possible, reconcile the Senate
and House provisions. If the conference agrees the bill re-
ported out of conference will be submitted to the two houses for
their concurrence. The men who will compose the conference will
not favor any of the radical amendments, although they will feel
compelled to make concessions. The PayneAldrch tariff bill was
a conference measure. In it the best features of the bill as it passed
the House were eliminated, and the worst features Of the bill as
it passed the Senate were retained. Will the railroad bill take the
same course? And, if so, will the House again yield to Aldrich?

The Newark police courts are as good
as any that can be found in the country,
but they have one fault, a fault h a
is a serious one and which should be
remedied. This fault is that the police
men are using them to "get even

grudge. Cases often happen where
some innocent bystander, witnessing
an officer making an arrest and using
unnecessary force, will demonstrate
with the officer, and the officer will
''get Sore and lock him up for inter-
fering. When the innocent b~ystander
is arraigned in the morning the officer

ZEPPELIN PLANS
MONSTER AIRSHIP
Passenger Graft Carrying 300 Persons
May Run Between Hamburg and
London if Arrangements
Now Pending Garry
GAssociated Pressl


COLOGNE, Jan. 19-Count Zeppelin,
whose aerial flights in dirigibles have
attracted worldwide attention, is
planning a monster airship capable of
carrying 800 persons and which it is
proposed to use in a passenger service
to be established between Hamburg
and London, it was said today. A
service also will be maintained from
Hamburg to Cologne and Baden
Baden.
The craft will be 9S4 feet in length
and about So feet in diameter. 1t will
be driven by eight motors. News of
the enterprise developed through visits
which Zeppelin's chief engineer Coils
mann. made to Hamburg and to this
city, where on Monday he discussed
with the mayor of Cologne arrange
ments for the construction of landing
and departure yards.
1t is planned to employ four motors
in ordinary weather reserving the
others for use in case those in service
becCEne oyerheated or get out of re-
pair, and in the further event of a
storm ncessitating the development of
greater power. The ministry of war
has not contracted for more of Yep
pelin's dirigibles, but has decided to
wait on the development of aeroplanes
