HALL OF FAME FOR
TREES IS PLANNED

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-A Hail Of
Fame for Trees" has been ~inaugurated
by the American Forestry association
for the recognition Of famous trees and
the location Of the largest shade tree
in the United States.
An elm at Huntington. Ind. long has
been regarded as the largest shade tree
in the country. This claim OF course
excludes the Redwoods Of California.
Now comes Dumont Kennedy, Of Craw.
louisville, Ind, with a picture Of a
tree on his property and the suggestion
that IT is larger than the tree at Hun
tington. This tree has a spread OF 30
feet while the Huntington Elm has a
spread OF only rs feet. A tree at
birmingham, Mass, also makes claim
to being the largest,
Charles Lathrop Pack, president Of
the American Forestry association,
says:
1--WE want a complete list Of famous
trees now There is the Liberty tree.
on the campus of st. Johns college, at
Annapolis, under which a treaty with
the Indians was signed in 1862. The
experts tell us this tree Is close to
500 years old. We all know OF the

which Washington took command of
the continental army. At Oberlin, o.,
Is the elm on the corner of the campus

G. 0. Hoskins, Veteran Of
Rails, Tells of Thrilling
Experience Of En-
CINE Turning
Turtle.

Although during his career as a loco
motive engineer, G. Q. Hoskins was in
three big wrecks in which his engine
turned completely over with him, the
most serious trouble he has had came
from ailments to which people in ordi
nary walks of life are subject.
In other words, despite the perils of
his occupation and of being involved
and injured in railroad wrecks, he has
had more suffering from disorder OF
his system, not in any way connected
with the accidents. And the accidents
we're by no means trivial affairs.
For instance, in the last wreck he
was in, which occurred on the Illinois
| Central railroad, neal Nortonville, KY,
his engine rolled over and he was
bruises and cuts about the head which
caused him to remain unconscious for
| sixteen hours. He was laid up for six
months.
Mr.. Hoskins resides in Louisville. He
is now a storeroom night Waterman on
the l.. & n. railroad and lives at AZ
East Market street.
Description of his previous physical
condition and the benefit that he has
had from Pepgen is given in the fol
lowing statement:
II was operated on for appendicitis
five years ago and l had not felt right

1000 HOMELESS

HIGH RISING FLOOD
Traffic on Six Railroads Is
Cut OF Because Of Rains
That Continue to FaII-AIl
Lines Are Out.

MERIDIAN, Miss, Dec. 10.-One
thousand people were homeless and
train service on six railroads was in
definitely suspended here Monday night
because Of a flood from swollen streams
at the south of the city. One p,erson.
a negro, is thought to have LOST mis-
life. The damage Is estimated in hum
dreds OF thousands of dollars. With the
exception Of Mobile & Ohio trains run
ming to and from the north, Meridian
was cut off from the outside world
following the 4S-hour rainfall which
reached 1910 inches.
The small valleys to the south are
completely flooded and the residents,
mostly negroes, had to flee to higher
ground. Several manufacturing plants
are in these valleys. The railroad
tracks are under water for miles and
1t Is estimated that the flood will not
recede within less thar three days
Several washouts on railroads have been
reported.
The unverified report of loss Of life
was that Of Milton Jones, negro, who
was said to have been swept away by
the water while attempting to rescue
a negreSS marooned in her house.
High water from the small streams
has flooded the tracks Of three rail
road lines to Hattieshurg and caused
the suspension Of railroad traffic on
them following the heavy rainfall Of
the last "a hours.
Railroad service was being restored
this morning with large gangs repair
