CARING FOR OUR TREES.


Much of the charm and glory of Hawaii is in
the trees and shrubs, Towering and otherwise,
which give extraordinary beauty to many
streets. But the very lavishness with which
Nature filings her arboreal treasures here has
It's dangers and these are aptly pointed out in
the valuable talk given before the Outdoor
Circle yesterday BY DR.. j. F. Illingworth of the
College f Hawaii.
DR.. Hhngworth, whose experience in the care
Of trees and shrubs is wide, finds that over
crowding of trees and lack of intelligent care
have their logical results in defects which are
obtrusNe even in city where kindly Nature
covers everything possible with mantle of
green embroidered with gorgeous blossoms
He urges that pruning be done by men who will
combine loving care with experience, skill and
an eye'to futnfe growth
Not a honfe-owner or householder in Ho-
nolulu but has an interest in the beauty of his
premises. DIR. lllingworth s talk contains SO
many practical hints, and in such non-technical
language, that the Star-Bulletin is glad to pub
lish it in full Saturday.

does not appear. If the city. the utilities com
mission the Rapid Transit company and the
governor all approve Of the new charter bill
it can be introduced in kuhio's name and
pushed by Secretary Desha. Assistant Secre-
tarv Mcclellan and the Rapid Transit attOr-
news in Washington, as well a> by the many
friends Hawaii undoubtedly has in Congress.
If there is general agreement here As to tn"
charter plan, it ought to receive favorable ar-
ton in Congress without the services of this
attorney; whereas unless there i such agree
ment. the ablest special pleadcr would scarcely
be successful.
This paper hopes for speedy action on the
new charter and an end to the present centr0-
versy, but proposal yesterday that Senator
Coke should take steamer for the mainland
today strikes us as evidence that somebody Is
rather crOwdng the occasions When the move
was made DIV the utilities commission for this
revival of franchise discussion, Chairman
Forbes and Others stated that it was proposed
first to draft the bill and then to give it the
widest possible publicity; to ask the Chamber
of Commerce and other public and semi public
bodies to give it thorough study and construc-
tive report; to give the governor plenty OF time
TO make his own study.
The public is anxious to have the franchise
controversy ended, bat that anxiety does not
extend to the hurrying of special attorney
off to Washington before the final draft of the
charter bill has been properly considered.

Whether the gas company or the city water
works leaves the ruts and bumps on paved
streets, there are plenty left to arouse the ire
of motorists. 1t is incredible what long suffer
ing Americans stand for in the way-of public
Encouragement, Inconvenience and imposition.
We grumble and fume but allow the imposi-
tions to continue Occasionally at election
time we rise up and vote out one set of officials
to vote another in, but the voting is done by
fifty or seventy-fve per cent of the people and

Gen. Scott, Chief of Staff,
Acting Secretary of War.
Has Splendid Army Record

Maj. Gen. Hugh L. Scott, chief Of
staff of the United States Army and
now acting as Secretary of War fol-
lowing the resignation of Secretary
Garrison and Assistant Secretary
Breckenridge. was born in kentucky
September 90, 1853. He was graduated
from the Military Academy in 1876, be-
ing appointed second lieutenant, 9th
Cavalry, but was transferred to the 7th
Cavalry June IS. 1876. He remained, an
officer Of the It'll until February 25,
1908, when he was promoted major, Sd
Cavalry, and was transferred to the
l4th Cavalry the following March. He
was promoted lieutenant colonel
March 3, 1911. and colonel, Sd Cavalry,
and was transferred to the 14th
Cavalry August IS. 1911, and was APP
pointed major general April. 1915.
More closely than any officer of his
rank in the army he has been identified
with the Indians and semi-civilized
wards Of the government. and the re-
markable measure of success that at
tended his administration among the
American Sioux and Blackfeet- the
savage Moros of the Jolo archipelago
and the Igorotes Of Luzon followed
kindly yet firm and just treatment he
always accorded these people. Gen.
Scott spent seventeen years in the
grade Of first lieutenant at frontier
army posts, during the stagnatiop in
promotions. That trying experience
proved of great benefit to him. because
through his association with the Indian
tribes he became an adept in the use of
their various tongues, and especially
in the Indian sign language.
Has Done Difficult Work.
That special qualification brought
him much delicate and difficult service.
to the great credit of his record. Only
about two years ago he earned the
gratitude of the administration by 60
ing, single-handed, into swarm of
angry Indians in Arizona who were
intent on going on the warpath, and
bringing them to ways of peace.
He organized and commanded Troop L..
18th Cavalry, composed of klowa.
Comanche and Apache Indians, until 1t
was mustered out five years later, at
the expiration of its term Of service. He
also was in charge Of Geronimo's band.
Chiricahua Apache prisoners of war. from
October 4, 1894, until December. 1897. at
Fort Sill. During the war with Spain
Gen. Scott served as assistant adjutant
general Of volunteers at southern camps,
and as adjutant general Of volunteers,
department of Havana.
More recently he conducted personal
negotiations with Villa and his officers
on the Mexican frontier. He will retain
the Office Of chief of staff until his statu-
tory retirement for age in September,
1917.

said he believes firmly that the nation
must have an adequate reserve army
under the control of the federal gov
eminent When the House military
committee begins framing the army
bill next week, the President plans to
confer frequently with members to
shape the kind of bill he believes nee
essary.
The President, it was declared to-
day. has no intention Of accepting an
army plan which provides for strength
ening the National Guard without a
provision that the federal government
be given authority to exercise general
control
Members of Congress have prastical-
ly convinced him, however, that the
continental army plan as originally
framed by Secretary Garrison has no
chance of being approved.
The cabinet remained in session near
ly two hours today and it was under
stood that practically the entire time
was devoted to discussion of domestic
policies. including the preparedness
plans of the administration. After the
meeting the members posed for a pho
