FOLLOWS PRECEDENT SET
IN WASHINGTONS CASE
Judge Says Linennan's Tree
Truth Is Truly Patriotic.

For emulating the father of his
country in telling the truth about the
injury he inflicted on a tree. the
case against Floyd r. Hummel, of 81
New street, a 1ineman for the tele-
phone company, charging him with
violating the shade tree act. was dis
missed today by Judge Hahn in the
First Criminal Court.
The complaint against Hummel
charged that he climbed tree in
front of $50 Orchard street with the
aid of his spurs, and in consequence
of which he inflicted several holes in
the tree. He pleaded guilty, but
stated that he was in discharge of
his duty and that he had Travelled
part of the distance up the tree on a
ladder.
Judge Hahn replied: "A precedent
| has not only been set down by law,
but also by history. The Father of
our country cut down a tree and when
he told the truth about it he had SEN
tenee suspended, and I think the
same should apply in this case
| Objection was made by the prose
cution on the ground that the father
/ of our country was not of mature age
when he committed the offense.
The court concluded with saying:
But even at that age the father Of
our country had the intellect of a
man, and in view of the fact that the
defendant has told the truth about
his offense and did not violate the
law maliciously, 1 will discharge him.

NEW YORK. March LII you
we're to wake up tomorrow morning
and find that good fairy father had
left 100000 for you, what would you
do with it?
And If the fairy left a note saying
he would hike back year hence with
another 100000 and every year there
after-all for you-would you blow il
in or would you hoard it up or what
would you do?
Well that's the fix William Hieg-
Ter, nephew and adopted son of the
late William Ziegler, baking powder
millionaire is in.
His yearly income is 100000 he
has just reached p and received the
interest that has piled up since his
foster father died i'm 1908.
Every morning he wakes up he has
1881 to spend any way he wants to.
Every hour Of the sixteen waking
hours he has $50 to get rid of, and
every minute he has $50 to squander
or save. In a week he has $l6,666.6 81
and each month brings him $66. 666. 81.
OF course, there are plenty of peo-
pie. men and women, along the gay
white way who would help William
spend his money. and they've tried
all kinds of schemes to separate him
from his coin; but the millionaire boy
has remained sane and clean minded.
He has never touched glass of wine;
