w WASHINGTON. the most
A1/ beautiful "tree city, in
Wv the world. 10 taking its
trees for granted. A bad
thing for Washington and bad
thing for the trees. and II the kind
gentlemen on the hill in the hollow
Of whose hands rests the well-being
of the Capital, are not reminded more
often and moro forcibly of the i'm
portance OF a generous appropriation
every year for the arboreal develop
ment Of the Capital. the trees of
Washington must suffer In eonse-
Quence.
There are 10000 trees in Washing
ton. ranging in size from the
stately old elms planted in the
early days by the fathers who had In
mind the picture of beautiful city
the, past year by the city's depart
ment Of trees and parkings. The ap-
preparation for the current year for the
care Of these trees and planting new
ones to keep up with the city's growth
is only $4,000. That sum, in the opinion
Of Superintendent Of Trees and Parkings
Clifford Lanham. is woefully insufii-
X
Now. trees. like their human friends,
for whom they provide restful beauty
and shade, require medical attention
from time to time. There are many
enemies Of the tree. insects of all
sorts, diseases. and the accompani-
ments of modern civilization, such
as the gas which leaks from gas
mains under the street. oily dust
from the automobile. salt water
drippings from carelessly placed ice
cream freezers and wagons. root
To be cared for properly, a tree must
be looked after and attended to from
It's sapling youth to it's venerable old
age. And 1t takes money and men
trained in the ways of trees to do it.
Mr. Lanham. in making up his esti-
mates for the needs of his department
for this fiscal year. asked for $110,-
OO0-a sum which would allow for the
proper care OF existing trees and the
planting of others to keep up with
the rapid growth Of the capital. The
Commissioners. in their wholesome
desire to make their estimates in line
with the economy program OF the
administration, pared this sum down
to $4,000. When the District esti-
mates came out of committee $4,000
was ieit LOT MT. Lannam ana his de-
partment. The result. Mr.. Lanham
says. will be only partially caring for
the trees which exist in Washington
today. and any program for Develop
ment and extention OF the capitai's
tree system must necessarily go by
the board for the time being.

AS an example of the work con-
fronting the department Of trees and
parkings. it is interesting to note
what is required to keep Washington
trees up to standard

mot dollar Of this money can be ex.
pended except for an Improvement
which has. been heretofore specifically
authorized by Congress In bills that
did not make lumpsum appropria-
tions, but In bills specially identifying
the projects" For years, Mr.. Mann
explained, the Improvement: of rivers
and harbors has been carried on in
a regular and orderly way This year
the local Army engineers submitted
estimates Of S62.o00.oo0. The chief of
engineers cut down those estimates to
$42. 900, 900, and In turn the bureau of
the budget reduced the total to $27,.
600, 900, which sum was accepted by
the House committee. Yesterday, by
vote Of nearly 8 to /, the House,
in committee Of the whole. added
$15. 100000. thereby reinStating the
estimate Of the chief Of engineers.
All the proposed appropriations are
for objects which have been surveyed
by the Army engineers. the potential
commerce of the community and gen.
eral region estimated and the under.
taking classed as worthy and likely to
rebound to the general welfare of the
public. Good roads and improved wa
terways are generally indorsed by the
people att large. They are to be the
balance wheels for the future, govern.
ing freight and transportation rates.
They are to supply deficiencies, like.
ly to increase with the years. in rail-
way transportation, already threaten
ing to be inadequate.
The people residing far beyond the
area Of the contemplated improvement
benefit in reduced freight rates Of
water carriers and in the added facili-
ties. River and harbor improvement is
Of national benefit.

Union Defsafs riastoc

Yesterday afternoon the Union
high school football team added one
more victory to its record when Has
toe was taken into camp by the score
of 13 to 0. The score is not an exact
indication of the strength of the OPP
posing teams for at two other points
of the game the Union lads were
stopped in their mad rush towards
Hastoc : goal by ill timed and rather
drastic penalties from the officials.
Hastcc received the ball on the kick
off and made two first downs before
the Union lads stiffened. These gains
We're practically the only ones the To-
Gals obtained throughout the entire
game.
During the first half the Union Hi
backs did not show the same pep and
vim that was so much in evidence a
week ago when they defeated Spar
tanburg Hi 19 to 7. However, after
the intermission between the halves,
the visitors marched back on the field
with the determination to carry the
ball across the last line on Hastoc's
side Of the field.
Union received to begin the second
half. By straight line plunges the
ball was carried to within the shadow
of Hastoc's goal. At this stage the
locals braced up and took the ball on
on the first play. AS the back receiy-
ed the ball and attempted to boot i!
cut Of the danger zone, the Union lads
rushed in and blocked the play. The
ball bounced over Hastoc's goal line
and a Union player fell on it for
touchdown. the first score of the
game.
sNear the end Of the game when Un-
/ ion had again advanced the ball well
into enemy territory, the locals again
received the ball on downs, but on
their attempt to punt the ball was
i sRain blocked by a Union player.
Straight line plunges took the ball
the ten yards necessary for touch
down. Thomas added one more point
from a place kick.
Plummer Thomas was the outstand-
ing star Of the game. His line
smashcs and end runs were above the
average seen in high school games.
The whole team, though, acquitted
themselves we'll in the last half and
easily deserved the lusty cheering
that was handed to them.
About 25 or 80 automobiles, filled
with staunch Union supporters jour-
neyed to Spartanburg to cheer the
home team.

JURY FINDS CARR
GUILTY OF MURDER

St. George, Oct. 20.-Guilty of
murder with Recommendation to the
mercy Of the court was the verdict
Of the jury in the case against vii
liam Carr, Jr., convicted here today
of the killing Of John c. Patrick.
The jury reached verdict and re-
turned to the court room at 4:3O
o'clock this afternoon after having
deliverated for more than three
hours. The court was engaged in the
trial Of civil case when the verdict
was announced. Judge MemminRer
said sentence would not be passed
upon the convicted man until tomor
row morning.
The young man was surrounded by
members of his family. He showed
no signs of emotion when the YER
dict was read by the clerk of court.
Messrs. Connor & Behlinger, local
counsel for the defense, have intimat-
ed nothing thus far as to a motion
for new trial or an appeal to the
supreme court.
After both sides had closed Thurs
day afternoon, the prosecution called
several witnesses on reply this morn
ing.
The testimony did not differ ma
terially from that of yesterday with
the exception of one witness who tes.
titled that Carr had told him that he
did not understand why he had not
killed Patrick as he had pulled both
triggers of the gun.
Oscar Owens, policeman of ST.
George, testified that he had seen
the convicted man in the county Jail
on the morning after the shooting
and that when told that the shot had
taken effect in Patrick's abdomen,
Carr, the witness testified. said that
he had aimed at his head.
Walker S. Utsey made the first ar
gument for the prosecution, followed
by William c. Wolfe for the defense,
the closing argument for the state
being made by Solicitor Hydrick. The
arguments were among the most elo-
quent and convincing ever listened to
in the Dorchester county court house
Particularly clear and logical was the
appeal of Mr.. Wolfe, who consumed
more than an hour and both Solicitor
Hydrick and Mr.. Utsey spoke force
fully. Although the crowd today was
not SO large as yesterday, every
available seat was occupied and many
had to remain standing.

LANDS SAFELY
WITH PARACHUTE

Dayton, Ohio, Oct. 20 (By the As
sociated Press. Presence of mind of
Lieut.. II. r. Harris, chief of the hy-
ing section at McCook Field prob
ably saved his life today, when -
unstrapped his parachute and lespsd
from his falling airplane. He land.
ed in q grape arbor in the yard Of the
home Of Dsniel Barres and his shio
crashed tn aerth, completely wrecked,
in the yard of William Clingmaii,
nearby.
1t was the first time an air sefv-
ice pilot has been saved in such q
manner, according to officials at the
field. The arbor into which Lieuten-
ant Harris dropped gave way and he
fell to a cement walk. He was bad
ly bruised and scratched and was re-
moved TO the McCook field hospital,
where physicians reported his condi-
ton not serious.
/, Scores of north Dayton citizens
witnessed the accident and saw the
plane plunge to eartht. Mrs. Cora
Billings said she was standing in the
street near her home talking to a
'neighbor when she heard a loud crack
Looking up l saw the machine
falling. Pieces of the wings, broken
of, fluttered downward. A moment
later / saw the parachute dropping,
then it poened gradually and floated
down."
Clingman and his six year old SON
Thomas, had been working in the
back yard q few minutes before the
plane fell. Mrs. Clingman heard the
crash and tinkling Of glass as tn.
windows of her home were broken and
thought her husband and son had
been buried under the plane.
She tainted.
McCook field officials Immediately
started an investigation. The acci.
dent is believed to have been cause
by weak wing support. The plane
was thrown into a nose dive at q
height of about 500 feet. Harris
realized he was too near the eartn
to right the machine and took the
only avenue of escape in jumping.
+ Harris won the light commercial
plane event In the aeronautical races
at Detroit last week.
