AGED WOODMAN HAS
CATALOGUED TREES
FOUND IN DISTRICT
Hermit Disciple Hopes to
Have Capital Authorities
Adopt His Huge Work.

With flowing white beard and a
faded, weather stained sombrero thrown
jauntily on his head, Sidney A. Gaylor
forester hermit, and disciple of John
Burroughs. walked into town today
with a Bible under one arm and two
huge volumes, wrapped in blue cloth,
under the other.
He came from his hut near Takoma
Park, Md, jubilant in the thought that
the work of five years was at last COM
plete. He gazed proudly at the big bum
die under his arm, which was no less
than "A History of the Tree and
Leaves of the District of Columbia"
No less picturesque than his garb Is
the quaint lore which the depths of the
forest have yielded to him. He is a
woodsman Of more than forty-five
years standing. Although he refuses to
tell his age. Gaylor must be not very
far from ninety years old.
Loves His Woods.
IT love the woods" he says. THAT
is why l am so hale and hearty. live
like the true woodsman should. in the
midst of my trees and with few to dis
turb my solitude"
He has labored hard and long to
collect all known species of leaves to
be found within the District for his
work. He says there are fully 1875 of
them. His search has been extended
to all parts o fthe city's environs, and
many of the specimens he discovered
when he had given up all hope Of
finding them.
Now he believes his big work, which
Is in two volumes and encyclopedia
in proportions, Is a monument of ac-
curacy and painstaking care. He
wants 1t adopted as an official guide
by scientific, agricultural, and educa-
tional circles of Washington.
Half Century of Study.
my work has already received
recognition" he says. Some years
ago l wrote tree books for Colorado
and Florida. and they have been
adopted by these States as official. !
have spent nearly a half century
studying trees"
The aged man has no dream that
his work will prove of commercial
value. He delights in It for its own
sake, and hopes to interest local ar
boriculturists in what he believes are
some exceedingly rare specimens con-
tained in his work.

warning against the dnLgers Of any

ing reads:
"AF Independence Day approaches

is more commonly called lockjaw. is

hand in hand with Fourth of July

BULLITT IS LIKELY
TO SUCCEED LEHMAN
Louisville Man Considered For
Post OF Solicitor General
Of United States.

William Marshall Bullitt, of Louis

in the week. probably will be appointed
to succeed Frederick w. Lehman,
whose resignation as Solicitor General
of the United States will take effect in
few days.
Mr. Bullitt. 1t is said at the Depart
ment of Justice, Is an applicant for the
place, and President Taft mas been con-
sidering him for several days.
Despite the fact that Mr.. Lehman
insists he is quitting the Government
service for strictly personal reasons,
there are those who say that politics
had a prominent part in his retirement.
Mr. Lehman Is a Democrat, and he is

TAG DAY TO YIELD
BOY SCOUTS $1,000
Full Returns Not In, But That
Sum Probably Will Be
Reached.


Though full returns nave not as yet
been made Of the sales of tags for the
benefit Of the Boy Scouts and the play
grounds of the District, 1t is estimated
that probably 5000 or more has been
obtained. The exact amount collected
on the two tag days will probably
be known later in the day.
While the expectations of the man.
ayers OF the Boy Scouts were not rec l.
lied on account of the rain of Tues
day the proceeds are by far greater
than was expected. AS consequence
Of the rain only about $500 was collected
Tuesday.
The tag day was continued yester-
day, and contrary to the expectations
of all except the boys themselves
Washington proved itself liberal.

Sewers Immediately filed exceptions and
made known their intentions to carry
the case to the District Court of APP

the tax has already been settled by the

issue, whether an automobilist can be
penaltzed or prosecuted. has yet to be
