UNION

The appalling accident and death of Fred A. Moore on Saturday near his residence, has cast a shadow of sor- row over the entire town, and the townspeople are offering their deep sympathy and help to Mrs. Moore and her family. MT. Moore was accident ally killed Saturday afternoon about 3.45, (his watch stopped at that time) while driving pair of horses hitched to a logging sled of wood, down the steep mountain west of his home
 The wood and MT. Moore evidently had slid forward from the sled on to the horses. Mrs. Moore and son, Law renee, found him after dark that even ing. Medical examiner Dr. G. P. Bard
 was called, and his findings were that death was by accident and must have held from his late residence Wednes- day at noon. Fred Alvin Moore was born Jan. 21, 1874, in Union, the oldest child of Lyman and Emma (Blodget) Moore. He married Ida Green of Brimfield, and their children, all liv- ing, are Lawrence, Esther, Irene and Winifred The Moore's were among the early settlers of the town and Fred Alvin owned the home and farm of his grandfather Thomas Moore. Vitally interested in the up building and in the public welfare of the town, as all previous generations have been, this characteristic was most pronounced with him. He attended the Mashapaug district school and was a graduate of Hitchcock Free academy at Brimfield, Mass. As a young man he held the office of town constable, politically republican and a strong temperance man; was member of the Connecticut general assembly, session of 1913, from Union, and at the time of his death was first selectman and chair man of the board of assessors. Fred" as he was called by every one who knew him, was tremendously inter- ested in the public welfare, and his ability as a man, coupled with the honesty and kindliness with which he handled every detail of business or social life. endeared him not alone to his home town, but where ever he was known. He lived a busy life every day, but found time to assist friend and neighbor, to devote time and work to the betterment of our highways, the care and consideration of the towns paupers, especially devoting time to that thankless and complicated job of assessor, and doing it with sincere honesty and Justice to the very best of his ability for the best i0taaasa H11

FLYER ESCAPES DEATH.

Lieut. George D. Price. naval air
service. and attached to the bureau
of ordnance, Navy Department, had
a narrow escape from death yester-
day when the hydroplane in which
he was flying launched into a nose
dive just as it was about to land
on the water, about a mile down the
Potomac from the War College.
Lieut.. Price left the naval air sta
ton in the ship. an N-9 seaplane,
about 1890 o'clock, for a fight.
Under the regulations those who are
not in active flying service must, in
order to keep their wings, fly at in
tervals in order not to become
"rusty." After circling around for a
while, Lieut.. Price decided to land
on the river. and from a height Of
about 100 feet he started downward.
About ten feet from the water the
Mp turned up on its nose and went
straight downward. The aviator
climbed out of the cockpit and sat
on a wing for ten minutes pending
the arrival of a tug from the naval
air station.
The depth of the water at the point
where the plane landed il about If
teen feet The naval air station tug
towed the machine back to It's
hangar, where it's damaged pontoon
can be reconditioned in a short times

SEEK $4,000 MORE
FOR DISTRICT TREES
Congress Allowed $4,000
for Work Last Year-Found
Inadequate.

An increase of $4,000 in the appro-
priation for maintaining and extend
ing the tree system of the National
Capital will be asked of Congress
in the new estimates, an outline OF
which were sent to the budget bureau
today.
In the current appropriation act
Congress allowed the small sum Of
$4,000 for this work, but it is un-
,lerstood the new budget will recon-
| mend $4,000.
Amount Still Too Small.
Even this amount will not make
it possible to give the beautiful
shade trees of the capital the atten-
ton they constantly feoStre. but 1t
will be some improvement over the
present.
This is just another branch of the
able to keep pace in its work with
the growth Of the city, due to In
adequate allotments of funds.
Congress formerly allowed $4,000
for the division of trees and park
ings. And, despite the fact that the
few years, the appropriation for that
department was cut instead OF being
increased.
Every summer the District building
receives scores of complaints of trees
being attacked by caterpillars or
other bli ghts, but it has not been pos
sible to do all the spraying that
should be done to prevent this de-
struction.
Trees Feature OF District.
Washington, being the capital Of
the nation and the mecca for thou
sands of visitors annually, is viewed
with a more critical eye by the
stranger than most other cities.
Here the tourist expects to find more
attractive shade trees than he would
look for in the average large city
of the country.
Unless Congress recognizes this
fact, however. by granting larger
.sums for tree maintenance this dis
tinctive feature of the capital city
will deteriorate.
Not only are there new streets laid
off and built up every year where
new trees must be placed, but the
stately old elms and other species
that have stood for decades are con-
stantly being blown down or dam.
