DISTRICT FRUIT TREES
KILLED DURING WINTER
Bitter Cold Also Caused Thou
sands of Dollars Damage
to Hedges.

Hundreds Of young peach trees in the
vicinity Of Washington were practically
ruined by the bitter cold weather Of last
winter. Washingtonians who have coun-
try places. as we'll as jewellers in the sub
urban regions contiguous to the District,
are discovering the fact, now that the
warm spring sunshine is bringing the
buds out on the trees.
The tender twigs, new wood of last
year, are dead for distance OF six
inches or more from their tips, and in
many cases whole limbs are found to be
killed. Most Of the buds on the remain
ing live branches also are dead, and not
a few young trees were killed outright,
clear to the roots, by the zero weather Of
the past winter.
Apple trees have not suffered nearly SO
much as peaches, but cherry and plum
trees both suffered severely, and in one
instance, on a small place near Chevy
Chase, an entire young orchard of peach.
apple. plum and cherry, set out last year,
was found by the owner to be killed.
Heavy Loss in Hedges.
In addition to the los- IS of fruit trees,
many hedges in and about Washington
have been killed to the roots during the
hard winter. Along and near Connecticut
avenue. beyond ROCK creek, new hedges
are nearly all killed or badly damaged,
while even down in the city the same is
true. Farther out, in Chevy Chase and
other suburbs, the hedges are dead down
to the roots. On the Rockville trolley
line, at -.lta Vista, it is stated that thou
sands of feet of magnificent hedges have
been found to be dead as q result of the
severe winter.
When Alta Vista was plated, several
years ago, hedges were set out over the
entire area. and these hedges of Cali
fornia privet have been kept trimmed
and cared for until they had reached a
height of nearly FIVE feet and were of
heavy, luxuriant growth. All of these
hedges, it is stated. will have to be re-
placed, as hardly live shoot remains.
The loss, it is estimated, will run into the
thousands of dollars in and about Alta
Vista alone. while other parts of the
nearby country report losses equally
serious.

ALLEGED TO BE FUGITIVE.
Harry Lucas, Colored, Held for Au.
thorities of Virginia County.

Harry Lucas. colored. twenty-five years
old. was lodged in a cell at the fifth
precinct police station last night, having
been arrested as an alleged fugitive from
Justice. Policeman Wheeler Of the harbor
precinct arrested Lucas after having been
told by a colored man that Lucas was
wanted for breaking Jail at King George.
Va, about eight months ago.
Il didn't break out of JAIL" the prison.
Ell declared. Another man in the cell
with me broke out while / was asleep,
and when i woke up and fouad the hole
In the wall l crayled through it,
Lucas told the police he was in Jail
1T King George for assault. The other
prisoner. he declared, was charged with
q more serious offense. Since he got
away from the country prison Lucas has
been employed on one of the river steam
srs. He thought the charge against him
was so trivial that the King George au-
thorities would not send for him.

SEX HYGIENE SUBJECT
OF LECTURE AT LIBRARY
DR.. Prince A. Morrow Explains
Object of Society of Which
He Is Head.

Dr. Prince A. Morrow of New York,
president Of the Society of Sanitary and
Moral Prophylaxis, lectured at the Public
Library last night on the work and OBJ
jects of the society, which was founded
through his efforts, and on the work that
is being done throughout the country in
the line of educating boys and girls,
young men and young women. in vital
matters relating to proper living. p
Dr. Morrow is said to be the foremost
authority in America in his chosen field.
and his lecture here. while wholly i'm
promptu in arrangement, attracted a
large and interested audience
He gave a brief outline of the organiza-
ton of the society of which he is the
ments with which the work was forced to
struggle. Only about twenty-five persons.
he said, responded to the call for the
first meeting in New York in 1905 and
these seemed to be only family inter-
ested in the subject At the present
expanded until it's membership numbers
thousands. Branches have been organ
lied in all parts of the country, and it
has even spread to far-away Australia.
To Overthrow Old Prejudice.
1t is the object of the society, said DIR.
Morrow, to overthrow the old prejudice
against the discussion of matters per-
tanning to sex and sex hygiene, and to
teach young people of both sexes things
which they should know, if the purity
of the home and the health of present
and future generations is to be safe
guarded.
In several OF the western states, notably
Washington, said DR.. Morrow. sex ny
gfene is taught in the normal schools
and in the higher institutions such as
high schools and colleges In Washing
ton students in normal schools do not
receive their diplomas until they have
gained certain credits in these studies,
and the results are already apparent in
but in the children taught by them after
they have completed their normal courses.
Makes Plea for Extension.
Dr. Morrow made strong plea for the
extension of such teachings until they
are made feature of every school In
the country. That some disagreement
exists as to the age at which boys and
girls should be taught the vital necessity
for hygiene of sex the speaker admitted
saying that, after all, this Is a question
that can be safely left to competent
teachers for decision.
Regarding the literature of the society
| of which he Is president, DR.. Morrow
said that at the Chicago society's Of
| fees requests had been received tor the
booklets, ETC., from more than $50 col
| leges and from 400 Y. M. G. A. organiza-
| tons, besides large number of churches
schools, settlements, women's clubs, bust
ness establishments, etc. Social hygiene
! is now taught in the high schools Of Chi
cago and the work has been taken up by
the National Federation of Women s
Clubs and other similar organizations
AS result of the work done by DR..
Morrow's organization the American Fed
enation for Sex Hygiene was organized
about a year and half ago in st. Louis,
the honorOry president of this OrganiZa-
| ton being Charles w. Eliot president
emeritus of Harvard University.

DATE AND PLACE NAMED
FOR HIGH SCHOOL DRILL
Annual Competition at Ameri-
can League Ball Park
May 27 and %.

The annual competitive drill of the
High School Cadets Of this city will be
held May p and %, at the American
League ball park. This announcement
was made at school headquarters late
yesterday afternoon, following action by
the military committee Of the board of
education.
The judges of the contest have not yet
date. Other preliminary arrangements
will also be made by the assistant super
Ernest L. Thurston, who is
directly In charge Of the high schools.
and Col. Burton r. Ross, commandant Of
the cadet regiment.
Muster Twelve Companies.
Twelve companies. will compete for the
flag. and It is predicted the struggle will
be keener than ever before. The cadets
have labored under more than the usual
amount of difficulties this year. First,
the complete drill manual was changed
and the experienced men had to ''un-
learn" what they had acquired in former
years, and then teach a new system to
the recruits. In addition, several of the
boys who received appointments as Off
GERS were 'half-year" pupils and gradu-
AteO feDruary L, leaving vacancies which
had to be filled by examinations. 1t is
expected the school officials will take
some action to prevent this condition
next year, but no definite movement in
this direction has been made.
The several high schools will be repre-
scented In the drill by these companies
Central. Companies A, 3 and i; Business,
Companies z and G; Eastern, Company
F; Western, Companies HI and NJ. and
Mckinley, Companies c. d, K and l..
Date and Place Changed.
The drill this year will be later than it
was last year, when it was held May IS
and 10. The place is also changed, as the
last drill was held on the White House
ellipse. This was made necessary by
the fact that the ball park was unavail-
able on account of the fire. 1t was sug-
gested previous to that drill by some that
the ellipse would be the best place to hold
the drill every year. but after the drill
was concluded the plan had few advo-
Gates.
The important performances of the
cadets remaining include an exhibition
drill and the competitive drill. An indoor
rifle match is to be held May 81 and June
1, and ii is also possible the boys may
participate in the ceremonies at the I'M
yelling of some of the statues which will
occur in the near future.
