SALOONS
To The Number OF $500
viii Quit In Ohio
If The Liquor Proposal Is
Adopted By The People

Columbus, o., March 19-Twenty-
FIVE hundred saloons in Ohio viii be
swept out of existence, If the electors
of the state ratify the Anderson liquor
license proposal, adopted last week
by the constitutional convention.
Moreover, by reason of the substi-
tuition of the local license fee system
for the present Aiken law tax, the
state, 4 the Anderson proposal Is ap.
proved, will be deprived of a source
for revenue which now brings into the
treasury more than s2,150,0O0 annual
ly.
Such are two of the most striking
and significant effects the operations
of this proposed drastic constitutional
amendment will have, according to es-
Inmates based upon figures furnished
by the state auditors Office.
The abolition of practically one.third
of the present number of saloons in
the state will be accomplished by the
enforcement of the provision of the
Anderson proposal which restricts the
number of saloons in all cities and mum
icipalities to not more than one to
each 500 of the population and not
more than one for each 500 in town
| ships.
According to the latest available fig
ures In the possession of the state aud
itor, who is the collector of the states
share Of the $1,000 Aiken law tax on
saloons, the number OF saloons in the
state now exceeds 5000. The exact
number is not yet known, because
the January settlement report is not
yet complete, number of counties
having failed to report. One,third of
5000 Is 1856. M
That one-third is a fair basis of es-
timates as to the general effect OF the
Anderson limitation clause upon de-
creasing by figures from the auditors
office.

London, March 19--Eton has cele-
brated "threepenny day." when new

er nearly 400 years ago by Roger Lup-
ton, who was provost of the college
from 1902 to 1886. Lupton arranged

disapproved, but which subsists to
the present day, that half sheep is

Tell OF Losses Through Lewis
Enterprises

: st. Louis, Mo-, March 19--Judge
Amidon, presiding in the case against
Il. G.. Lewis In the United States Dis
trict Court here yesterday, again ov-
erruled questions. the answers Of
which we're expected to show the re-
lation of the Postofiice Department to-
ward the Lewis publications.
Mrs. w. G. Heggle, of Ithaca, N. Y,
told of investing $500 In Lewis's en-
terprises. She testified she was infiu-
enced by advertisements in the Lewis
publications and by an article in the
Woman's Magazine entitled "a Heart
TO Heart Talk with the Editor" The
witness. said she got none Of her prin-
cipal back and only a small part of
the interest.
In cross-examining Mrs. Heggie
counsel for Lewis made use of type
written list OF questions, nearly all of
which we're made the subject Of OBJ
jections, but which brought several
contentious of the defense To the
jury's attention. The objections were
for the most part sustained by Judge
Amidon. Mrs. Heggie said she had
read Of losses through the fraud order
and the withdrawal OF. the second-class
mail privileges, also had read in the
Lewis papers that the enterprises had
recovered from these losses and were
In a fiourishing condition.
Mrs. Eliza A.'Webster's desire for a
"heart to heart" talk with e. G. Lewis
regarding her $1,000 investment In the
Lewis enterprises was expressed in
her letter to him which was read yes
terday during her testimony. The
term CRITTERS" was applied by Mrs.
Webster in her letter to the interim
receipts which she received instead OF

YEARS
OF Labor Have Made
Washington City
Famous For Its Beautiful
Shade Trees

washington, Marcn l3-AnnOunCe-
ment that the department of trees and
parking of the national capital Is ar
ranging to set out $500 new trees
along the streets and parkings of the
city this spring, calls to view the ff.ct
that Washington probably has more
miles of shaded streets than any 9TH
er city of its size In the country, or
In the world. There are 100000 trees
in the streets, and as they are planted
at intervals of 35 feet, this means that
they stretch over the city for dis
tance of more than 800 miles. Taken
together these street trees would, If
planted 30 feet apart, make a forest
of between 1000 and 1900 acres. In
addition to the street trees there are
the forests which are growing inside
the numerous large federal reser-
vations here, the whole combining to
make Washington a veritable city of
trees.
Yearly about 1000 Of the old trees
are removed, new ones taking their
places. Originally the softer woods
were popular but they are gradually
disappearing, and the harder and hard
Ter varieties are taking their places.
The popular varieties for the past
score of years have been pine and red
oak, Norway and sugar maple, gingko
Ia Japanese tree), European syca-
more, American elm and American
linden or bass wood
Washington has been planting trees
practically ever since 1t became the
seat of the federal government. Local
historians relate what the first men,
ton of street trees was In the munich.
pal laws of 1903, which imposed a fine
of $5 on persons who wiifully damaged
any Of such trees. During the Jeffer.
son presidency four rows of Lombardy
poplars were planted In Pennsylvania
avenue, between the Capitol and the
White House, the present treasury
building not then being in existence.
It is claimed that the planting was
done early in Jefferson's first term.
These four rows divided. the avenue
into three sections-two driveways,
between which there was a parking,
which, however, was not improved, ex-
cepting that grass was permitted to
grow there as 1t would. This quad.
ruple row Of trees was the main fea
ture of Pennsylvania avenue until 1882
when 1t was removed
AS has been the case in other cities
tree planting in Washington has had
its periods Of activity and non-activity
mainly the latter. But in 1871 the
board of public works appointed com.
mission of experts to look after tree
culture, and since that time the work
4 has gone on systematically and aggres
stvely.
1 Within few weeks the new leaves
will appear, and then Washington will
for couple of months following, be
looking its prettiest. There are miles
of streets in the city where the green
boughs meet overhead, which means
more than can be expressed in words
