ON RAILROAD CROSSING
Mrs. Virginia Ecker, Aged IS,
Run Down By Freight Train
at Mt. Lake Park Yesterday

Mrs. Virginia Ecker, Of Mountain
Lake Park, where she has been resid-
ing for the past year or two in a

and desiring to make some purchases
at a store in Loeb Lynn Heights, on

serted by those who witnessed the ac-
cldent that the woman seemed to be
preoccupied and with head bent she
walked along the pavement fronting
the station building to the road cross
ing, arriving there at the same time
that the train which killed her en-
tered upon the thoroughfare.
The cylinder of the locomotive, it
is stated, struck her upon the head and
produced almost instant death.

gantown during the summer months,
and sister of Mr.. D. F. Liller and of

FUNGUS GROWTH KILLING
TREES NEAR OAKLAND
State Forester Discovers Many
Thousand Dead From Disease

The State Department of Forestry
has noted for the past three years,
that the scarlet oak locally known as
pin oak) in the vicinity of the State
Forests, have been dying. The State
Forester made special examination
this summer of the nature and extent
of the disease and finds that it has
spread rather generally, over the
western and central part of the
county, where the scarlet oak is q
common tree. The disease has soread
very rapidly in the past year and
caused the death of large percent
age of the trees in certain sections.
The examination failed to show anv
insect trouble or any fungus disease
IN the trunk that was readily appar-
ent so the conclusion reached was
that it was probably a root disease.
A special request was made to the
United States Department of Agri-
culture to send a Forest Pathologist
to make an investigation. This re-
quest was promptly met by sending
DR.. George Hedgcock, an expert on
tree diseases, to Oakland, where he
spent two days with the State Fores-
ter making a thorough examination.
While his report is not yet complete
he found that the trouble was a root
disease caused by a fungus techni-
cally known as Armillari melleus.
commonly known as shoestring fun
gus. This is a fungus which under
ordinary conditions is a saprophyte,
that is, one that lives on dead wood
or other dead organic matter. but it
sometimes becomes parasitic, that is,
attacking living wood or living
organisms, as in this case, working
under the bark and the roots and ex-
tending up into the base of the trunk
of the tree, forming network of
black strings and destroying the cam
blum wood, quickly killing the tree.
The fruiting body is in the form Of a
mushroom, appearing above the
ground, near the base of the tree.
either on the roots or on the base Of
the trunk and emits spore in great
quantities.
It is difficult to estimate the
amount Of damage caused by this
disease. Certainly, many thousands
Of trees have been killed, both large
and small. The scarlet oak is the
least valuable of any of the oaks and
will probably be replaced by Other
species.
There seems to be no practical
remedy for this disease, but the final
report will be awaited with much in
terest, in the hope that something
may be done to check the ravages of
this fungus.
