CR1TTENDEN OAK FLoURIsHING
"Peace Tree" Planted by Kentuckian
Reported Thriving.

recent examination shows that the
historic Crittenden oak Is fourishing in
its new location in the National Botanic
Garden, and, barring accidents. will reach
a ripe old age. This tree was planted in
the early sixties by Senator Crittenden of
Kentucky in the presence Of the late Will
liam r. Smith, superintendent of the
Botanic Garden, and is known as the
peace oak from the sentiment express
ed at the time.
Oribinally 1t stood at the east end Of the
garden near the main entrance from the
Capitol. 1t was located on the site sub
sequently chosen for the Grant memorial
and orders had been given to cut 1t
down. Supt. Smith protested against that
action as a sacrilege and finally arranged
to have the tree removed to another part
OF the grounds. 1t was not believed at
the time that the tree would stand the
ordeal because of its age and size. but
expert assistance was obtained and the
tree with all its roots and surrounding
soil was transplanted about three years
ago to the north side OF the garden near
the entrance from Pennsylvania avenue.
It was held In place by many bands Of
steel attached to the upper trunk. Some
of these are still in place, but the gar
deners say they are no longer needed.

Supply Expected to Exceed the De-
mand Remainder of Season.

Potomac crabs. which have been very
scarce since the opening of the season at
the beginning of warm weather, are now
becoming more plentiful. due. according
to the dealers at the 18th street wharf
market. to the coming of good hot sum-
mer weather. From now on the supply
is expected to more than equal the de-
mand, and crabs will sell at low figures.
The steamers arriving here Sunday
night and yesterday brought up over go
barrels of fine green crabs from wharves
along the river, from Colonial Beach and
below. all consigned to dealers in this
city. In consequence of the heavy re-
ceipts prices dropped from over So per bar
rel last week to 81 and $1.J0 per barrel,
and it is probable they will go lower.
Soft-shelled crabs are also being re-
ceived, but not in excessive quantities

WANTS BUR|ALS STOPPED
East Washington Citizens AS
s0ciati0n Discusses Con-
gressionaI Cemetery.

At the July meeting Of the East WASH
ington Citizens Association last night in
East Washington Hall. Capt. William M.
Potter, the president, presiding, copies of
the new constitution of the association
were distributed.
The question of putting stop to burials
in Congressional cemetery and of better
ing the conditions at the Washington
Asylum Hospital were discussed. and the
association directed DR.. Charles M. En-
mons. chairman of the committee on
public health, to prepare report and
submit recommendations at the October
meeting.
DR.. D. P. Hickling. physician in charge
Of the hospital, will be asked to discuss
the question at the October meeting. DR..
Emmons said last night that there is
ample room at the hospital to enable
those in charge to segregate the patients,
several buildings there being unoccupied.
Favor Removal of Hospital.
Thomas w. Smith and S. W. Curriden
participated in the discussion. They
favor the removal of the hospital to the
site purchased for hospitals in the vicin-
ity OF the tuberculosis Hospital.
A communication from officials in
charge of Congressional cemetery request
ed that the association assist in the eff
fort that Is being made to have the Com
missioners pave e street southeast to the
main entrance to the cemetery.
Mr.. CurTiden thought the association
should put in provision suggesting
time when interments in the cemetery
should cease. Mr.. Smith and others OBJ
jected to the insertion of such provision.
They favor the adoption Of such a law,
but think it should not be made part of
the cemetery officials, and the association
decided not to emdbody it in the communi-
cation to the Commissioners.
Wants Street Improved.
At the suggestion Of Mr.. Smith the as
sociation decided to ask that the east
side of 18th street southeast between
Kentucky avenue and E street be improv-
ed. That improvement Mr.. Smith said,
is just as necessary as is the paving of
E street, as it is the direct route from
the car line to the cemetery.
Charles S. Shields complained that an
unjust and harsh postal discrimination
has existed between the northeast and
southeast sections for some time, and on
his motion the association decided to ask
that the noon delivery north of East Cap
itol and east of 4th street be restored.
During the discussion about the Wash
ington Asylum Hospital, DR.. Emmons
spoke of the urgent need of a hospital
for inebrfates. There would be no trouble
getting an appropriation for such an in
he stated, If the proper persons
