anniversary which marks his seventy
seventh year. One of Washington's
mQst noted citizens, deeply concerned

figure in the counsels that have
bought Washington from a struggling
village to the eminence of world
capital, Gen. Wilson talked about
Washington today with reporter for

the greatest need of the District of CO.

it's police force.
Gen. Wilson is quietly observing his
birthday anniversary at his home, 1773

his family and friends who are calling

with flowers as tokens of their regard.
He was born in Washington October g.

WILSON has watched Washington grow
ever since he was a page on the floor
ofthe United States Senate in 1S4s.

with Washington, Gen. Wilson was

Saved Druid Hill Park Trees.
Cen Wilson told his interviewer Of
aG interesting bit of history in con-
nStion with Druid Hill Park in Balti-
mme. while discussing nearby communi-
ties. That city owes to him the preserva-
tiah of that famous park. During the

"Mosby had torn up the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad" Gen. Wilson said. The
commanding general had placed me IN
charge Of some works. Jeb Stuart. 1t
was said. was coming down on Balti-
more with his cavalry. 1 was sent for
and told to cut down every tree in
Druid Hill Park, so that he might not
have cover. 1 had 1000 colored men un-
trees DOWN but their nass seemed
to me pure vandalism. Some Of them
were 100 years or more old, and they
were. and many of them are. the most
beautiful trees in this section of the
country. So I represented that to the
general commanding. He said:
DO you mean to question my order"
II said: No. sir; but I am a young Of
ficer. and I am entitled to have that or
der in writing
"He said: I'll see that you do carry
out that order He was very angry. l

refused to carry out the order. knew:
inalienable right to have the order in
writing, so that the responsibility for the
proposed vandalism might be fixed. l
said to him:
His Suggestion Accepted.
Il will put a colored man with an ak
at the foot Of every tree and when Jeb
Stuart gets within ten or fifteen miles I
will cut down the trees If you will give me
the order in writing, but you will have to
stand the consequences Of the vandalism
He agreed to that" Gen. Wilson contin-
ued, "but Jeb, Stuart never got within
twenty miles of Baltimore and the trees
are still standing. I was just a young
lieutenant against a major general, but
he had seen no service, was volunteer
officer, and / knew my rights, so-the
trees are still standing and Baltimore
ought to be very much obliged to me,
don't you Think"
Gen. Wilson said today he never felt
better in his life. He heard Calhoun
make his last speech in the Senate,
while he was a page there. He saw
the corner stone of the WASHINGTON
Monument laid, and completed the ex-
terror and grounds of that work. He
was superintendent of public buildings
and grounds and ;Clevelands chief
military aid during both of that Presi-
dents terms, serving as superintendent
of West Point the four years in be-
tween the terms
Gen. Wilson was appointed to the
Military Academy by Jefferson Davis
in 1855. and his first commission as an
officer was signed by Abraham Lincoln
in 1851. He was given commissions
and advancement in rank for gallantry

HAVE FIRST VIEW
OF WAR TAX BILL
Republican Members of Sen
ate Finance Committee
Are Called In.

The republican members of the Senate
finance committee were called in by the
democrats today for the first time since
the consideration Of the war tax bill
was begun and given their first view
of the bill as framed by the democrats
in caucus. Later the bill was reported
from the committee to the Senate by
Senator Simmons, chairman Of the COM
mittee.
Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania,
former chairman of the finance commit
tee. said that while the republicans in
tended to fight the tax bill. he thought
the Senate could dispose of the bill by
the end of next week.
notwithstanding the large number of
amendments made in the bill by the
Senate committee and democratic eau
Gus, it is believed these changes will
be accepted for the most part by the
House, and that a conference on the bill
will not last long.
Since President Wilson has already
stated that he would be glad to see
Congress adjourn when the tax bill has
been disposed of, adjournment may
be had by October II or 20.
Revenue Estimated at $1Oe, ,oOO, 900.
The bill reported to the Senate today
will raise s10s. 900 revenue, accord
ing to the estimates of the Treasury
experts. The biggest burden will fall

future, however. 1t has been Mr..

SALE Of FAMOUS
ROCHESTER MINE

One of the most important mining
deals contaminated in recent times
was closed yesterday afternoon, says
the Journal, when Frank l.. Reher and

their control of the Rochester Buck

The Rochester Buck and Charley
mines property is recognized as one

The gold is free in this find. The ore

The main workings are on the

been made by the leasers from these
workings. The vein here is as clear

1t is proven to a depth of over zoo

The workings consist of four tunnels

CABBAGE as Real Estate

Wonders never cease in American
law. Here comes a Judge in our own
state, trying the case of man who
entered his neighbours garden and
pinched head of cabbage. The judge
decides that it was not larceny of per-
sonal property at all, and hence not
a basis of criminal action; but the
cabbage heads are real estate. and
that the neighbours remedy is to bring
a civil action contesting title. We
have eaten garden truck-spinach and
lettuce for instance-which tasted like
real estate. But we never knew be-
fore that to steal it was not theft. And
after cabbage head is eaten what
good is the title? Now, If it had been
a franchise or an election that was
stolen, it would have been less surpris-
ing in the law to let the culprit go
free; but who would ever have thought
that the science of judicial hairsplit-
ting would finally be successfully in
voked to protest plain, everyday cab
bage thief?-Pittsburgh Press.
