| MRS. HENDERSON AGREES
TO- CUT NO MORE TREES
Pleads Guilty in Police Court
and Personal Bonds
Are Taken.

Mrs. John Il. Henderson wife of for
mer United States Senator Henderson
of Missouri, appeared in thes. Police
Court today. for the second time within
a week. to answer to the charge of
cutting down tree at the corner of
Florida avenue and 10th street NORTH
west After hearing several witnesses.
whose testimony was to the effect that
the tree standing was a menace to
the safety of those who had to pass
under it, Judge Pugh took Mrs Hem
derson's personal recogniZanee to re
frain from directing the destruction
of any more trees the property Of the
District of Columbia.
When Mrs. Henderson was in court
last week it was merely as a witness
in behalf of the two men who actu-
ally used the saw in Telling the syca-
more. At that time pleas of guilty
were entered for both of the men, one
| of whom was Mrs. Henderson gar

! In that case Judge Pugh imposed fines
of $25 each on the two prisoners. which
Mrs. Henderson Immediately paid.
Dead Wood in Evidence.
The same colored laborer who was fined
| last week accompanied Mrs. Henderson
| today, bearing in his arms huge bundle,
which proved to be branches and roots
and pieces of the trunk of the tree. which
were used in evidence to show that the
tree was dead. The judge allowed them
| to be shown, with view of fixing the
penalty for cutting the tree down. as Mrs.
Henderson had entered a plea of guilty
as soon as the charge was read to her.
Luther Fuller, who resides near Hen
derson Castle, on 10th street. was the
principal witness for the defense. He
told the court that he had an especially
discriminating eye in regard to trees. as
he had been raised on farm. He said
he was most anxious to correct the report
that the tree was cut down to clear Mrs.
Henderson's view of the White House.
Mrs Henderson said the same thing de-
claring that her house was placed OH
such high ground that she was able to
look over the tops of all the trees in the
vicinity.

POWER GRANT GIVEN THE ROAD
FOR 45o MILES IN THE

Washington, Jan. What Secretary
Fisher believes To be the beginning of
the cl"CtrifiCation Of a!l transcontinen-
tai railroads was marked today by a
grant to the Great Falls (Montana)
Power company TO transmit over pub
lie domain under strict government
regulations power for the identification
the Chicago, Milwaukee, & st. Paul
railroad between IlarlnWtoWn, Mont,
and Avery, Idaho.
The fact that the Great Falls com
pany was willing to accept the full
est provisions for the protection Of
public interest even where all ii was
asking was for a transmission line, Is
of even greater Importance from the
Secretary Fisher today than the
further great clcctrification of rail
roads which must follow.
1T demonstrates" he continued, mot
only that the provisions for protection
of the public interest upon which the
department of the interior insists. do
not prohibit water power development
as has been claimed by its opponents; +;
but that the greatest development
which has yet taken place in the prac-
teal application of electricity, can be
and is being taken under these very
provisions.
