A GREAT tree last week lay by a
\ roadside near the city The road was
that which has long been called the Muir
dok Mil road and which leads through
the valley of Powder Mill run from the
ruinous Murdoch mill To Tenleytown This
old road begins among the weeds and VIII
lows and tall. scar grasses that stand by
the mil site. and eading north through
the lowlands west of the American Uni
versity intersects the River road just off
the Rockville road at Tealeytown. The
spot where the old tree lay was very near
the foot of the slope that in its ascent
passes the Methodist Church at Tenley-
town.
The tree had been sawed. not chopped
down. and its fall had broken two cleo
trio wires and had snapped the pole on
which they were strung. Then the tree
had been sawed into twenty-foot lengths
and its great limbs had been sawed OF.
A group of villagers stood about the tree
commenting on its size its age. its his
tory. its death and its destiny
Its trunk was four feet in diameter. IL
was a white poplar Ii was bought by
the agent of furniture factory for so.
and ii will soon be serving man in the
bedroom, the dining room or the parlor.
The rings Of annual growth in the old
tree numbered 100. That poplar had
been growing at that point for century
and a half. IL was a large tree when the
Congress of the United States determined
that the capital of the United States
should be located in the Potomac valley.
Perhaps the surveyors laying out the
lines of the federal territory that was To
become the District of Columbia rested in
the shade of that tree. 1t had seen a
great many children play around ii, grow
old, wither and pass away.
Oceans of water have run under the
bridges since that venerable poplar first
put on leaves.

along the shore, and that boats crossing
from Virginia or coming up the river
moored to the rock. Mr.. Benjamin has
said that "a road led from the hill be-
hind the rock through timberland to the
bridges. of which there were two across
Rock creek. and thus connected with the
Frederick road but maps showing the
location of these early Rock Creek
bridges are scarce.
Hugh T. Taggart has identified this
rock as that described by early seven
teenth century voyageurs on the Potomac
"a large rock lying at and in the
Potomack, commonly called The Key
of all Keys.
Mr. Taggart though. not inclined to res
ject the tradition of troops landing from
boats at this rock, thinks that the troops
that marched from Alexandria crossed at
the ferry near where the Aqueduct bridge
is. road from Alexandria leading to that
landing and the Frederick road beginning
nearly opposite on the Maryland shore.
Under the St. Alban oaks that grow in
the close of the Cathedral of ST. Peter
and st. Paul, and a few yards cast of
the Rockville road, Wisconsin avenue. is
n gray granite bowlder to the west face
of which has been fastened bronze
plate inscribed:
This monument was erected in 1907
by the Society of Colonial Wars Of the
District of Columbia to mark the road
over which, April IA. 1875. a division of
the British army under Gen. Braddock
marched on it's way to Fort Du Quesne."

to join the two oceans. That is one reason
why the Supreme Court of the United
States has issued its command for re-
form of practice in federal courts after
the first OF next February.
The action of the court is only one step
toward ending the ever rec urring delays
and tremendous cost bills arising in a
pursuit of justice. The approaching re-
form touches only equity cases. \ move
ment, however, is on foot in Congress to
endow the Supreme Court with power to
enforce like reform in law cases dis
tinguished from equity suits. Every lover
of modernized courts ought TO support the
movement.
No one has been in a better position 10
fudge of the laws delays and it's extrava-
Eant cost than members of the Supreme
Court. For instance, the first ten cases
heard by the court this fall and still under
consideration were begun on an average
of more than :iVc years ago.
One of these cases, that OF the Inter
national Coal Mining Company against
tho Pennsylvania Railroad Company, was
begun in the federal courts Of Pennsyl-
