HONOR OLDEST CITY TREE
Celebration in Shade of Inwood
Hill Tulip.

The giant tulip tree Of Inwood Hill.
came into It's own yesterday. For more
than three hundred years It. had been
practically unseen and its praises unsung.
Beneath its shade Henry Hudson was
supposed to have hypnotized guileless
Indians with brass buttons and glass
beads. Under its shade yesterday. how
ever, Park Commissioner Slower and
others did 1t honor and fastened label
on its SCARED trunk, so that future
generations might appreciate Its antiquity
and beauty.
To have lived in Inwood FOR three hun
bred years, as had the tulip tree, un"
known TO many OF It's prominent citizens,
the Park Commissioner said, did not re-
dound TO their credit. DR.. Nathaniel L.
Britton. General James Grant Wilson,
Reginald Pelham Bolton and DR.. Stephen
Smith were others who spoke. There was
band concert, too. and the children from
Public School 50 participated in the exer-
clses.
This celebration to-day Is being held
on private property" said Commissioner
Slower, but / want to see the city &C
quire the land on which this oldest Of
all its trees now grows. hope to see 1t
acquired. so that 1t can be possible TO eX-
tend the shoreline OF Isham Park. The
city is willing to receive this land as q
gift, but II that is not TO be, / am in
favor Of an appropriation for that pur-
pose"
The Park Commissioner said indiscrimi-
nate labelling of trees had proved fail
ure, as most of the labels had been stolen
and sold as junk. He favored, he said.
the labelling Of rare and historic trees
1T would be a means of educating chill
dren to care for trees and cause interest
in them" the Commissioner added. He
had brought about this initial tree cele-
bration the Commissioner declared. TO

NO FRICTION WITH TosCANINI
Gatti Casazza Says Director and
Company Are in Harmony.

General Manager Gatti-Casazza of the
Metropolitan opera Company emphat-
ically denied yesterday the published re-
port that there was friction between the
company and Arturo Toscanini, the mu-
steal director.
II received a cable message from Mr.
Toscanini only yesterday In which he
said that he would sail on the Lorraine
on November 80. arriving here Decem-
Der T." said Mr.. Gatti-Casazza. 1T is
absolutely untrue that Mr.. Toscanini is
dissa tisfed-in fact. he is eager to re-
turn. He is at present resting after his
season in Buenos Ayres. but there has
never been a question as to his interest
in his work with the Metropolitan, and
in fact he Is returning a week sooner
than we expected"

THE NEW NEW YORK.

This month Of October, by an inter
esting coincidence, has seen the launch
ing of the greatest ship thus far under
taken by each OF the greatest two
navies. OF the two. that which was
yesterday fioated on the East River Is
certainly designed to be the stronger
The new New York will be the most
powerful battleship the world has ever
seen. which will be exactly as it should
be. for the sake of the nation which
builds the ship, of the state whose
name she bears and Of the city within
whose precincts she is being con-
structed.
The Iron Duke, which was launched
a few weeks ago in English waters. will
be Of 26,5O0 tons the New York VIII
be Of 27,0OO. The Iron Duke will carry
ten 13.5-inch guns; the New York will
carry ten 14-inch guns. For repelling
attacks of the mosquito feet the Iron
Duke will have sixteen 6-inch guns;
the New York will have twenty-one
5-inch guns of 81 calibres. These data
are sufficient for demonstration Of the
superiority Of the New York. As for
other navies, it is enough to observe
that Germanys has neither in posses
sion nor in promise a single gun Of
more than u inches.
The growth Of ships, Of which we
were speaking the other day in con-
nection with the Iron Duke, is i'm
pressively shown by the contrast be-
tween the New York and predecessor
The old New York, now the Saratoga,
is not to be cited, since she belonged 10
a different class. But let us take the
Oregon, which was launched nineteen
years ago and which was for years the
pride Of our navy, as she deserved TO
be. That splendid ship was Of 1O,2SS
tons, and carried four l3-inch and
eight S-inch guns, and made 1913 knots
10 the new New York's u. 1t would
be well within bounds to say that the
New York is considerably more than
twice as strong as the Oregon yet she
will cost only about 30 per cent more.
The successful achievement Of yester-
day, effected amid an appropriate set
ting, commands for all concerned the
heartiest congratulations. Amid the
causes for pride this is by no means
least, that the great ship has been de-
signed and is being built by govern
ment engineers in a government navy
yard. and is likely to be completed there
as expeditiously as she could be in a
shipyard Of any nation in the world.
Those circumstances speak loud enough
for the technical efficiency Of our gov
ernment's naval establishment TO entitle
it to full public confidence and to In
spire the nation to endow 1t with the
means for making and maintaining a
navy adequate to the maritime fame
ana practical needs Of America.

WILSON AND THE OLD SOLDIER

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Washington paper gives what
purports to be the views of Woodrow
Wilson In the matter of pensions for the
defenders of the Union In the late Civil
War.
He would deprive them Of their PEN
sions and send the enfeebled and des-
titute soldiers to the soldiers homes. 1t
seems almost impossible to believe that
a candidate for the Presidency could ex-
press himself in such an unfeelng. un-
patriotic and brutal manner. w. II. 8.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.

Lively Discussions Kept Up
the Excitement.

Besides the regular run of COM
missioners business, there were
several discussions which kept
things from becoming too quiet.
The we'll at Main and Forest is
to be cleaned out Immediately ON
account of the bad water it showed
was in it by analysis. Germs were
then made the all absorbing topic
of the day and the discussion was
only brought to close by the
agreement that filtrated wafer was
the best kind and by Mayor Lapham
calling the attention of the com.
missioners to the old subject of
whether Mr.. Grace's fence on South
Ashby should be taken out at the
demand OF his neighbor Mr.. Aims
worth or not. This same question
has been discussed time and time
again. After discussing it pro and
con again and receiving the legal
opinion of Attorney Brown Sans
made motion that the fence in
question should be taken down by
Mr.. Grace or put back on the lot
line. The motion failed for want
of second.
Attorney Brown said in his
opinion the conn missioners could
leave the fence stand or take it
down. just as they chose, as long as
they did not consider the fence a
nuisance Or a detriment. Iu case
they considered it a detriment or
nuisance then it was their duty to
take it down. The ordinance in
regard to house movers being re-
CURED to furnish an annual surety

vanced to third reading and final
passage. The new "Bungalow" for
the hose cart back of the Bon Ton
