WANTED MONEY
FOR EACH TREE
Family Tries to Prevent
Shade Tree Boards Work.

Work OF the Shade Tree Commits
sion and the city electrician In cut
ting branches away from city fire
alarm and police call wires on Buck
ingham avenu was hindered a trifle
by members of the Martiniak family
at S8 Buckingham avenue and other
residents of the nelghborhood at d
O'Clock yesterday afternoon They
attempted to prevent the city from
doing the work unless they were
compensated to the extent of s109
for each tree that was trimmed.
When the residents told no
money would be given them and the
work would be done regardless OF
their protests, they became highly
indignant and Patrolman Andrew
Jensen interfered. The work was
finally completed after much wrang-
ling between several women, the
workmen and Officer Jensen. The
former threatened to bring action
against the city to ecove for what
they termed damage to their trees.
In the minds of City Electrician
Jay B. FRANKIE, the Shade Tree Com
mission and the police the trimming
of nfeless branches from the trees
on the city's streets IL an improve
ment rather than a detriment TO the
trees. This they claim, is especially
applicable in regard to trees in
Buckingham avenue, which they
claim are only half alive due to
chemical acsion from the Perth AM
Chemical Works, which extends
along the scutherly side of Buck
ingham avenue from Commerce
tt High street.
According to the authorities mem
bers OF the Martiniak family and
other residents along Buckingham
avenue thought they could
from the city ii 1t trimmed branches
from their trees. because corpora
lions have been known to pay va
rious sums from IS to upwards of
a hundred dollars for such a privi-
lege. The city has a shade tree CONF
mission that is authorized TO take
care OF trees, plants and shrubbery
on public property and 1t demands
that this work be done, for the BEN
eft OF shade trees and the wires OF
the fire alarm and police call sys-
TENS as well.

ed that the attorney general and his
associate counsel have followed the
Bindings Of the house committee with
remarkable fidelity In formulating
their petition.
In asking for the special investiga-
ton by the house Mr.. Stanley made
certain charges against the steel trust,
among them the statement that 1t did
not manufacture q pound of steel, that
it Is illegally formed because the cor
poration, a small company, absorbed
the Carnegie company and others,
much larger than 1t was; that the ac-
QUESTION Of the Tennessee Coal and
Iron company was not to avoid q
panic, but to remove a competitor, and
that the Gary dinners" were affairs
arranged periodically to fix the price
of steel products for a certain period.

: MAKING GOOD WILL
SUBJECT FOR SERMON

Making Good will be the sub
ject of the Rev. James H. Northrup's
sermon in the Presbyterian church
Sunday night. A note OF inquiry
has been sent to some thirty promi-
nent persons of the city who employ
large numbers of men and to others
who have the oversight Of boys and
girls. Especial interest will attach
to the opinions of the heads OF some
of the large plants in the city. This
is to make the sermon intensely
practical. The question is, What
are the things that make those who
get a fair start fail to make good,
and the qualities that enable them
to make good.
In these inquiries Mr.. Northrup
says he has learned many important

there are some well-defined qualities
that receive overw helming support,

every person with the right stuff. III
him, Everybody wants to make
good and almost everybody can.
This is the testimony OF practical
men. But how? Hence the sermon.
