c. II. Hodges
Nora told Detective Springmann that
the name Hodges was fictitious and re-
peated her determination not to di-
vulge the name
Agent Cisco said this morning that
there is evidently some wealth behind
the woman. She seemed to have been
plentifully supplied with funds, he
said. and the information he received
was that she probably never let the
boy get out of her sight. and his phys
ical condition. he said, indicates that
he was poorly nourished
1t is thought by Agent Cisco that the
boy will be able to tell much Of the
story of his past when he appears in
the Juvenile Court next Tuesday.
While in the Office of Agent Cisco
the boy several times expressed de-
sire to be permitted to return to Mrs.
Johnson. The whereabouts Of the boy

NORWAY NAPLES LED
IN LAST YEARS PLANTING
Supt. Lanham Reports 100,-
787 Trees in WASH
ington.

The number of trees on Washington
streets. parkings, school yards and play
grounds at the end of the last fiscal year
was 1oN,7S7. according to the annual re-
port of Trueman Lanham. superintendent
of trees and parkings of the District of
Columbia. which has just been submitted
to the Commissioners.
Mr.. Lanham recommends the purchase
Of an automobile for the inspection work
of his Office, declaring that the present
means Of transportation are inadequate.
1t is likely the Commissioners will give
consideration to the matter in the prepa-
ration of the next estimates.
According to the superintendent re-
port, 1924 trees were planted during
the last fiscal year and 2.646 removed
The next increase in trees during the
year was LIS. Special attention is
directed to the fact that the elms on
the streets during the past fiscal year
required but one spraying. and that 1t
is believed that the elm leaf beetle
which infests this species. practically
has been eliminated for the time being
Trees Planted.
The list Of the trees planted during
the fall and spring seasons last year
follows:
Fall seaSon-ElmS, 124; gingkos. So;
lindens. IS; naples, Norway, 594; NAPLES,
sugar. 206; oaks. pin. 315; oaks, red,
1879: sycamores. 2S7; total, 1.773.
Spring season-Ash, sS; elms. 16S:
gingkos. 173; lindens. 13; naples. Nor
way, $50; naples, silver. IL: naples.
sugar. rs: oaks. pin. c12; oaks, red, 800;
sycamores. ass; total, 2.051.
The report says that little progress was
made in the work Of cultivating young
trees. principally because of severe
storm which visited the city. littering the
streets with fallen trees and broken
branches, and thereby rendering neces-
sary the transfer of the entire inspection
force to the work of clearing away the
wreckage
Trees Killed by Leaking Gas.
Supt. Lanham points out that 800 trees
We're killed during the year as the result
Of leakage of Illuminating gas, 1874 more
than were killed in the same manner dur
ing the preceding year.
ut is to be regretted" he says, that
the District gas light companies do not
take early action in making repairs to
their mains when leaks are reported. and
thereby prevent other trees in the i'm
mediate vicinity of the affected ones from
being killed.

Jurisdiction Transferred to Col.

Sundry Civil Bill.

The driveway Of Potomac Park will be
made eventually one of the longest and
most attractive Of it's kind in the country.
Steps will be taken soon for the improve
ment of the newly reclaimed area Of the
park lying east of the Pennsylvania rail-

sula to point nearly opposite Giesboro.
1t was brought to grade by the deposit
of material excavated from the channels
Of the river to improve navigation. and
is surrounded entirely on the water side
by massive sea wall. That work was
completed under the direction of Col.
Langfitt. the engineer officer in charge of
the improvement of the Potomac river.
Now that the new area is to be improved
and developed into a park for the use of
the public. jurisdiction over part of it
has been transferred to Col. Cosby, the
