In Defense of the Cottonwood
Minneapolis journal }


The cottonwood tree has been doing its stuff in
Minneapolis. Freshly painted homes have acquired
downy whiskers. Window screens have taken on
cobwebby appearance. The floating seeds from the
bursting pods are nuisance. Therefore, there is
heard in some quarters the demand that all cotton
wood trees be cut down.
Why all? Only half arc guilty As in the case
OF the mesquite it is the deadly female Of the secies
that does the dirty work. The male tree is as guilt
less as old Adam considered himself The mother
tree frcights the breeze with cotton floats natures
own tiny airpanes to carry the seed far and wide
and plant new trees where they are needed, Just as
nature employs squirrels to carry the planting Of
nut-bearing trees The father tree filters no mans
yard save with dead leaves in autumn but what tree
does not?
SO If there is to be any cutting Of cottonwood
trees, trees that usually SO situated as to give
needed and precious shade let the slaughter be con-
fined to the female offenders. But, where cutting
is contemplated, mark the trees now, SO that inno
cent male and guilty female may be distinguished
when cropping time comes, for it is only in the
spring that the two can be told apart
The cottonwood is cursed for its disfiguring Of
lenses which are confined strictly to the distaff of
the family. We wonder if those who do the ours
ing ever stop to think how trivial are the mother
cottonwood's sins, when contrastcd with the great
benefits conferred upon humanity by the cotton
wood tribe.
IN the plains country the cottonwood has been
iiic-saver An earlier generation, building towns
and establishing farms the bare prairie, found in
TINS largest OF all the poplars tree whose marvel
GUS speed Of growth meant real shade for new homes
in only few years time. These pioneers, when
they were wise. planted both cottonwoods and ems,
or other slower growing but statelier trees. And

stateiler! Perhaps. But the cottonwood itself
under proper conditions, has more than . slight
claim to stateliness. A tree that can rise to
height OF one hundred and fifty feet and expand its
trunk to diameter Of feet, all in one mans

So brisk is the trade that an entire
commercial center has sprung up on
Seventh avenue, between Sixteenth
and Nineteenth streets, though there
are thousands Of such concerns scat
tered about the city.
The regular patrons Of these places

pedigree of each article. Hence every
effort is made to keep the name of
the original owner undisturbed on

As "a matter of fact suits bearing

Manhattan just now is a city

So fast are the changes on Fifth
avenue that an old lady who hadn't

MARSHALL TELLS
 ABOUT SHAVING
Fear She Would Disclose Rela-
 tionShipS Inspired Act

Philadelphia, March l6 H)--Hav- ing read in open court the true story" In the form of a signed con- fcssion by David L, Marshall, Of inc manner in which Anna May Diet rich was slain, District Attorney Charles F. Fox said the prosecution would close it's case today against Marshall. who is charged with mur- der in the first degree.
 In the confession, Marshall admit ted that he had choked the 35-year- old mllinat to death in hls chlro- practic office in this city while try. ing 10 "Scarc" her because he said she had threatened to reveal 10 his wifo that they had been running around together" and that she was 70 become mother. Marshall de- clared that he had not meant 10 kill tho young woman; that they had Quarreled when he refused 10 con- tinuc giving her money and that he had caught her by the neck "and .ried to give her Q little shaking and scaring."
 Then" tho statement added, T found that sho was gone. l saw her head drop to one side. Then l got Frightened and tried to bring her back. but it was too late"
 The confession. the third and last version of the killing given by Mar shall related how he had left the body in his office with a six inch knife used In shaving leather and a hack saw, and how he had distrib- uted the parts in Delaware county. He said he had been friendly with Miss Dietrich for several years, that beginning last July or August and continuing until December he had given her from sl0 to s6O month under threat of informing his wife of their relations, and that the night Of her death on January 19 he had refused further demands, intending to break off their friendship.
 Then q quarrel started said the statement "I tried 10 scare her, The result was that, l guess, l choked her"
 In his first confession, which also was admitted into the court record, Marshall said Miss Dietrich had committed suicide in his office dur ing his absence and that he had dis mcmbercd and distributed the parts os her body in an effort to avoid no- toriety.
 The defendant probably will take the witness stand in his own behalf when the defense opens tomorrow. Abraham Wernick, his counsel, has indicated that hn will attempt to.I show that tho confessions were ob- taincd from his client by intimida- lion.
