The trees over on the White House
grounds. all of aristocratic lineage, and
some. of great antiquity, are receiving
treatment from arboreal physicians.
They are being "doctored up" in their
old age, so that, when the icy blasts of
winter come, there will be no danger of
them breaking or wasting away before
the proper help can be extended to them.
For long time it has been recognized
that the picturesque trees on the grounds
Of the Executive Mansion required some
care from experts. OF course, ii was
impossible to call Clifford .PinchOt for
mer forester, into consultation although
that gentleman has long been an en-
thusiast on the subject of the White
House foliage. But when President Taft
went away to Beverly last summer. it
was determined that advantage should
be taken of his absence to bolster up
the shade trees which he loves so well,
so as to give them a much longer lease
OF life.
Three expert tree dentists are now
at work filling, inlaying, plugging up the
gaping cavities On the trunks which have
been used by the squirrels as domiciles
in the winter season. None of the trees
is in bad condition. 1t was found that
some branches had become weakened,
and are likely to crash to the ground

NOT SO HANDSOME,
MORE ECONOMICAL
Printed Certificates for Pos
tai Savings Banks.

Because of the unusual interest taken
in the postal savings system, Postmaster
General Hitchcock has anticipated the
need Of an exceedingly large number of
certificates of deposit during the re-
mainder Of the present year.
1t was definitely determined yesterday
that a printed certificate of deposit can
be used instead of the extensively en-
graved one being used at the present
time. The adoption of the printed cer-
tificate win mean the saving of thou
sands of dollars to the government, as
the number required each year win run
into many millions.
Experiments made show that printed
certificates can be made to present every
safety from alterations or counterfeiting.
The Postmaster General yesterday or
dered the purchasing agent to advertise
for proposals to supply approximately
100000 printed certificates during the
remainder of the present year.

GORMAN APPEALS
FOR PARTY VOTE
ROusing Democratic Meeting
Held at Hyattsville.

Hyattsville, Oct. THE Democrats of
the upper section OF. Prince George
County rendered the State candidates a
rousing reception in Masonic Hall here
tonight. Despite the inclement weather,
the meeting was the largest of its kind
ever held in this neighDornood. The de-
tails were arranged by the Hyattsville
District Democratic Clup, a majority of
whose members were supporters of Sem
ator Lee in the recent primaries. This is
taken as an indication that the party in
this vicinity is in fine shape. State Sem
ator Charles A. Wells, president of the
club, was to have presided, but the death
of favoTite niece in Washington, Mrs.
b S. Nelligan. prevented his participa-
ton, and Milton E Smith, vice president
of the club and an old war-horse of
Maryland Democracy, introduced the
speakers.
Senator German, candidate for cover
nor, made an earnest and logical argu-
ment in favor of the adoption of the
proposed suffrage amendment to the
state constitution, to be voted on in
November. He said the people of South
ern Maryland. so long harassed by the
lnfuence of negro suffrage, should be
particularly interested in the amendment,
as a favorable vote on the proposition
meant the elimination of the negro as a
future political factor in the State. He
paid a high tribute to Senator Blair Lee,
his opponent in the primaries, who car
ried Prince George County, and said that
he would stand by Senator Lee as the
leader in the next legislature.
Edgar Allan Poe, candidate for attor-
ney general, scored a distinct hit by his
explanation of the Baltimore election
frauds, and Emerson c. Huntington
candidate for comptroller, ridiculed the
cry of the Republicans mat German was
nominated by the bosses. He declared
that Stone, of Baltimore, nominated
Goldsborough, and permitted no opposi-
tfon to his candidacy, while German was
nominated by a large majority of the
Democratic voters of the State, after an
honest, fair fight with Lee.

SLAYER MAY Be WOMAN
Insane or Jealous Person Sus.
peCted in Albany Boy Murder.
GUARDIANS MAY BE GUILTY
Woman with Child Said to Have
Been Seen in Drug Store
Where Acid Was Bought.

Albany. Jan. 12.-In trying to solve
the mystery which hangs about the body
Of a fve-year-old boy found yesterday
in frozen swamp land near the western
outskirts Of this city. the police tonight
are working on a theory that murder was
committed by woman who was insane
or prompted by jealousy. Also as time
passes without any message from the
parents of the missing boy the detectives
say they are beginning to believe that
the crime may have been committed by
the boys natural guardians.
The autopsy which was completed this
afternoon showed that death was due
TO carbolic acid poisoning, there being
very little evidence of strangulation
Burns on the face and head were taken
TO indicate that the boy struggled in
the hands of his captors while they were
trying TO force the acid down his throat.
DR.. Ordway, director of the laboratory
where the stomach Of the boy was taken
for analysis. is Of the opinion that the
boy had been dead three DAYS when
found He declares the murder was
committed only a short time before the
body was laid on the ground where it
was found because the blood when
thawed out was fluid and not clotted.
The police heard this evening that
woman with n child answering the de-
scription of the dead boy had been seen
ir the local pharmacy where the acid
was bought last Friday. The proprietor,
however. denies that he knows when he
sold the acid or to whom he gave il.
The only results of the messages the
local police sent broadcast about the
country to ascertain where young boys
had recently been kidnapped are thus
far negative. kilograms sent to Wind
sor Ont. and Ogdensburg, where boys
recently were missed, brought answers
that both lads had returned home.

saving that Alexander Karhowski, OF
Scranton. Penn, believed the body OF the
how found murdered on the outskirts of
Albany last Tuesday is that Of his son.

home last Friday morning.

saws that the description Of the body
tallies exactly with that Of the missing

peared wore a white Fauntleroy suit
