to plant trees OF that thoroughfare
when the paving work between F. and
l streets is finished
The spokesmen d. b. Edmonston,
George &. Altemus and George EN-
mons, told the Commissioners that the
vaults under the sidewalks would pre-
vent the planting Of trees in unbroke en-
lines on both sides of the street. and
that 1t would mar the beauty of the
street to have trees in irregular lines
They pointed out that there are no
trees on g street, and that Thirteenth
street is just as much a business thor
oughfare. The Commissioners took
the pleas under advisement and will
act later.

First Of Its Kind.
The explosion in the forward tur-
ret Of the Trenton is said to have
been the first of its kind in the
American navy. There have been
other explosions, naval officers say,
but in every instance the cause Of
1t was traceahle to sparks from
gun breeches, backfire, or flashes
from electric wires.
But the gun on the Trenton had
not been fired, and 1t is the theory
OF naval men that in hosting the
charge, preparatory to firing the
toni rifle, metal on the appar-
atus caused friction that set off the
powder charge.
A total Of $50. pounds Of powder
exploded. The cruiser Is not seri.
cusly damaged, 1t is said, the ex-
ploding loose powder being less de.
structive and more in the nature
Of fire than would have been an

Under orders Of Secretary of the
Navy Wilbur, three ordnance ex
perts from Washington will arrive

La FoIlette's Direct Charges
on G. O. P. ''slush Fund"
Are Taken, Up
BY III, X. REYNOLDS,
international News Service.

Senator William p, Borah's In
vestigating committee. having com
pleted 4 general survey 81 the Gam.
paign expenditures Of the thres
major political parties, today turned
specifically to inquire into charges
Of Senator Robert M. La Toilette, OF
the existesce Of a Republican '.slush
fund.-
Frank P. Walsh Of Kansas City
and Samuel Unter1nyer Of New
York, attorneys representing Sena-
tor La Toilette, were on hand to
press the charge OF the Progressives
before the committee and to partic.
ipate in the examination OF the
Republican leaders summoned by
Senator Borah.
For the present, the committee
will devote its attention to Repub.
lican financial operations In the
State of Pennsylvania, for it was
there, according to La Toilette, that
the alleged "slush fund.- had its
beginning. Money raised In Penn.
sylvania, he has charged, was to
be used in swinging doubtful states
in other parts Of the country.
G. o. p. Leaders Called.
Chief among the Pennsylvania lead.
ers summoned for questioning to-
day was Joseph r. Grundy. a mem.
Der of the ways and means commit.
tee of the Republican National Com.
mittee, and the writer of letters ap.
pealing to business and n1anufactur.
ing interests in Pennsylvania to join
in contributions to the Republican
campaign fund.
Summoned with him were Samuel
M. Vauclain, president of the Bald.
win Locomotive WNrks; Edward 4.
Stotesbury, Philadelphia capitalist;
W. w. Atterbury, vice president of
the Pennsylvania railroad; Nathan
T. Folwell, president OF the Manu-
facturers' Club of Philadelphia, and
Chester w. Hill.
These men, according to La Fol-
Iotte's representatives, have been
engaged In soliciting funds for the
Republican campaign and with using
these funds in Pennsylvania and
elsewhere without account for them
as part of the budget Of the Re-
&AOAA~SAA 4N0~ASAAo4 NOLAIIIA1tSC6s
La Follette's charges of the ex.
tent Of the Republican "slush fund.-
have placed the amount as big as
$2O,000,O00, and his attorneys, before
the committee will strive to show
that this figure is not inaccurate.
Thus far the Borah Investigation
has been devoid Of sensations, con-
sisting mekely in. receiving from the
chairmen Of the major political
parties reports on their campaign
budgets. These have shown that
the three parties, Republican, Dem.
ocratic and Progressive, have al
ready spent a grand total of about
$2,500,000 and that their aggregate
budgets call for an expenditure be-
fore the close of the campaign of
aboNt $4,000,000.
Az three Of the chairmen, in re.
porting to the committee, have de-
plored the lack Of money for
financing their respective cam.
paigns, indicating that 1t has been
impossible to raise all the funds
that they needed.
