Washington. May 14.-The famous
Morse elm at the corner of Pennsyl-

one of the Oldest landmarks in thC
national capital, is gone. 1t was re-
moved at midnight after a long but
losing fight for its life which began
with the severing of some Of its roots
when 14th street was windened some
years ago. This tree has looked down
upon every inaugural parade held in
Washington. 1t was named for Samuel
F. B. Morse. inventor of the telegraph.
who, tradition relates, often sat be-
meath it and recited to interested lis
teners the wonders of the telegraph.
In the olden days many famous poll
ticians also were wont to gather in
its shade to discuss affairs of party
and state.
The trunk of the tree has been pre-
sented to the American Forestry as
sociation. The elm was one of the
first trees TO be given a place by tins
association in the Hall of Fame OF

conference, which possibly may re-
model Japan's policy in Siberia and
in China, will be attended by the
highest Japanese civil and military
officials holding positions in China,
Siberia, Korea; Shantung, Kwangtung
and Manchuria.
One OF the principal subjects to be
considered is said to be the complete
military evacuation of Siberia.
Forecasts of the work of the confer

placed upon the question of Shantung
in which China persists in declining
to enter into negotiations for the res
toration to her of that district.
China Is Great Problem
The Chinese question continues tc
be Japan's greatest problem but there
is said to be no possibility of recog
milton being given the South Chinese
government at Canton, Of which Dr.
Sun Vat Sen is president.
There are indications also that ia

TavareG, May 13.--(Special. 1.-The
fire in the national forest east of the
.Ocklawaha river, which has ragged fol-
over a week, has done damage that
cannot be estimated. An unprece-
dented dry spell has made the dense
underground like finder, and, famed
by stiff breeze day after day, the
fire has burned over a wide area with
terrible fury. Fire Warden Ogden
called for volunteers from Pittman
Altoona, Astor and other nearby
points, and hundreds OF men and boys
rallied to the call, but they were prac-
tiaclly powerless to stem the fierce
blaze.
This territory is noted for its wild
game, and the men fighting an un-
Iequal game against the elements, re-
port that deer, bear and other ami
mails, as well as many birds, have
been burned to crisp, nothing but
their bones remaining, whitening the
dark ground.
Started By Incendiaries
Mr. Ogden has stated that there is
something back of the fire other than
commonplace, for the telephone to his
house was cut before the fire was
started, and once during the fire fight
ing he was advised by messenger that
fire in a certain direction had been
checked, but being cautious he inves-
tigated, and found man running
along with q pine knot starting the
fire again over a wide area. When
he saw Ogden approaching the man
ran and was lost in a haze of smoke.
Time after time when the fire
seemed checked it would break out
anew In places far removed from the
parent blaze, showing that the firing
was done by person or persons with
some evil intent.
