sistent demand that Governor Fuller
extend the Sacco- Vanzetti reprieves
until the senate can investigate the
relationship between the department
of justice and the seven-year persecu-

again by the Peoples Reconstruction
League through Benjamin G. Marsh,
its executive secretary.
"The 11-day .postponement of the

"The Sacco-Vanzetti case COM

classes enriched by wealth fraudu-

through control of the legislative, ex-
ecutive and judicial branches of ma
tional and state governments on one
hand, and the millions of dispossessed
on the other. This situation is
marked in this land of the free where
one per cent of the people own SO

'The Sacco-Vanzetti case symbol
ICES the injustice of our courts and
department of justice. The federal
department of justice has used illegal
methods of barbarism which would
shame the car and his secret police.
The execution of these two men with.
out a new trial under fair auspices,
or even with such trial before the
senate can investigate the relation of
the department of justice to the case
of these two men, would rankle for
decades.
"The acquittal of these two men,
without the investigation of thes de-

be barren. Congress cannot evade it's

TREES ON STREETS
WILL Be STUDIED
Board of Trade Committee
Will Consider All D. c.
Traffic Problems.

Before making recommendations as
to the best solution of the tangled
questions Of widening streets to pro-
vide relief from traffic congestion, re-
stricting parking in downtown sec
tions and the preservation of Wash
ingtons trees, the committee on
streets and avenues of the Washing
ton Board of Trade viii make thor
ough study of the whole problem, it
was decided at a meeting Of the com
mittee last night.
A special subcommittee composed
of Vernon B. Lowrey. chairman; a. j.
Driscoil and Robert +. Beresford, was
appointed to confer with the District
Commissioners to determine the ac-
tuai status of the present street-Widen-
ing program and to make survey ot
the streets over which the controversy
has arisen.
The subcommittee, it is announced,
will begin an active study Of the prob
lem early next week.
Opposes Cutting Trees.
Opposition to the telling of the
trees lining the streets of Washing
ton and constituting much Of the
beauty of the city, as well as declara-
tions in support of the necessity of
widening traffic arteries to keep pace
with the growth of the District, were
made at the committee session.
Pointing out that the future needs of
the District must be Visioned in the
consideration of present problems, Ed
win M. Bayly questioned the adVisa-
bility of halting the present street
widening program which Congress au-
thor:Ec5 and appropriated funds for.
Doubts Traffic Remedy.
On the other hand, Mr.. Driscoll, who
is president of the Midcity Citizens
Association, asserted that the cutting
down of trees and the widening 0f
streets would not provide a positive
cure for the traffic ills. Declaring
that the widening of streets would
but serve to make possible for q time
a greater volume of traffic, he said:
1--WE never will be rid of the traffic
problem until we abolish aIlday and
indiscriminate parking of automo.
biles."
The streets and avenue committee
of which George G. Shinn is chair
man, also planned to study ways and
means of furthering the movement
FOR the extension of Fourteenth street
New York avenue and Rittenhouse
street to the District boundaries. Re-
surfacing Of Rock Creek Ford road
Michigan avenue and Tilden street
also will be advocated
Repaving Is Discussed
In a discussion Of the need for re-
paving Of many of the streets NJ, o.
Eldridge. assistant traffic director,
asserted that with the exception OF
Blandensburg road all outlying high
ways of the District were bad. Some
Of them are so bad. he said, that
driver could shut his eyes and
tell when he passed the District line
because OF the holes and bumps in
the road"
The streets and avenues commit
tee will take up with Capt. II. G.
Whitehurst, Assistant Engineer Com
missioner the questions of heavy
loads on streets, the effect Of back
fills where streets have been exca-
waited and the quality of the con-
struction of the city's streets.

in and wanted to know If Uncle Joe
did not intend to settle. He feared
the photographer would make trouble
for him in the next campaign If he
did not get his money.
This attempt to transfer a bill to
Mr.. Cannon for photographs he did
not want taken in a little town in
Nebraska irritated Uncle Joe, who
said, Not one cent for Hinshaws $
campaign expenses in the way of
photographs" The photographer
made many attempts TO collect the
bill from Mr.. Cannon, and his attor-
ney repeatedly threatened to attach
his personal baggage if he ever again
entered the State. Then Mr.. Hihshaw
became an insurgent. We might have
kept him regular at a cost Of $25!

Striding Through Aisle.

He was striding up and down the
aisle Of the car singing with fervor
and rejoicing that he was leaving Wis
consni, the home of Republican strife,
and determined never again to cam
paign in a State where the Republi-
cans were greater enemies to them
selves than they were to their politi-
cal opponents. He never did, and
Wisconsin became the banner insur-
gent State, with all the bitterness of
their insurgency leveled at the man
who had been sent there to try to
make peace. Such Is the reward of
the peacemaker whose peacenaking
mission was not Of his own choosing.
One morning the car was dropped
at Wahoo, Nebr., for an afternoon
meeting. 1t was in the district of
Representative Hinshaw. who later
became one Of the most virtuous in
surgents in the House. Hinshaw had
been on the car for several days; now
that we were in his district he was
anxious there should be as much pub
licity as possible given to his intimate
association with the Speaker. He es-
James Z. Watson from the depot to
the hotel, where they were introduced
to prominent citizens, and then es-
corted them back to the car in time
for luncheon. When they arrived at
the car a local photographer was wait
ing, who made several pictures of the
group, Hinshaw in each picture stand
ing between the Speaker and Mr.. Wat
son.
Bill Is Received.
One day in December, after the
election, when the name Of Wahoo
was almost forgotten, the Speaker re-
ceived a bill from a photographer for
$25 for a dozen photographs Of him
self taken at Wahoo. He thought it
was practical joke and told me to
write him the bill should be sent to
Hinshaw. The photographer replied
he had been instructed to go to the
depot, as Speaker Cannon wanted
some photographs taken, and he ex.
pected to be paid. Later he put the
bill IN the hands of an attorney to

Gardening in Washington
- AND ITS ENVIRONS


some of the most popular varieties of
outdoor roses, and, If one is willing to
spend little while, offers q fine Cd.
portunity TO select varieties for home
planting. OF the many varieties on
display, the Red Radiance, because of
its brilliant coloring and abundant
Towering, is particularly attractive
Across the river at Arlington Farm
lies the fine rose test garden, where
is assembled a large collection of new
and standard varieties of bush and
climbing roses. Prof. F. l.. milford
is in charge of the test garden. In
many places in the city climbing roses
are effectively used to cover fences
and decorate otherwise unattractive
places. The rose-covered fences along
the parkway which passes the Agri-
cultural Department greenhouse have
been a veritable mass of color for sew
eral weeks and are just now passing
by. Here one could see the finest of
the new climbers, Mary Wallace, the
new pink beauty developed by the de-
partment, and Paul Scarlet Climber,
the brilliant red rose which has be-
come so quickly popular. On the
banks of the reservoir near the Sol
diers' Home the old favorite, Dorothy
Perkins. is effectively used to add a
little color to an unbroken bank of
green. Surely the roses are doing
their bit in helping maintain Wash
ington's reputation as a beautiful city.
Legumes.
The name legume is applied to that
great and generally beneficial family
of plants which are able, by virtue of
certain bacteria which live on their
roots, to utilize a small quantity of the
vast store of nitrogen of the air.
Nature has afforded man no more
striking gift than these legumes, for
in their growth and decomposition
they distinctly enrich the soil and
thereby help maintain the food sup
ply. The family embraces many plants
Of various sizes and forms and from
the large Kentucky coffee and locust
trees to the humble clovers. Many of
the legumes are very important to the
amateur gardener, for here belong the
peas and beans which are so valuable
even in the small garden. Here occur
also soy beans. cowpeas, vetches and
cloyers, some of which should be
grown in nearly all gardens as green
manuring plants. Only those few
gardeners who have available an I'M

limited supply of animal manures can
afford to neglect these soiling crops.
IT Ia a strange relationship that
exists between the beneficial bac-
terra and the legumes. AT first the
bacteria are apparently injurious,
feeding on the root tissue of the
host plant and forming at its ex-
pense small swellings or tubercles,
which may be easily seen on the
roots of any pea or bean or clover
plant dug in it's mature condition.
At the same TING, the bacteria are
able to draw on the nitrogen supply
of the air. After a time the host
nlant. pea, bean or clover as 1t may
be. apparently overcomes the bacteria
and profits exceedingly by the store
Of manufactured nitrogen compounds.
incubation is the term applied to
the process of treating seed or soil
with a solution of favorable bacteria.
This is an important procedure
where a person is introducing a to-
tally new crop like alfalfa for the
first time but in the garden, appar-
emily, in most all cases the form or
forms of bacteria beneficial to peas
and beans are present naturally, or
are introduced with the manures.
The WoolIy Aphis.
Some home gardeners may be
curious to know something of the
insect which causes masses of white
cottony appearance to form on the
branches of young apple. crabapple
and hawthorn trees, especially about
wounds in the bark. The full-grown
insect secretes itself beneath a COW
ering of white threads of wax, which
is rather hard to penetrate with
spray. Nicotine sulphate, 40 per cent
diluted. according to directions on
the package, is satisfactory control
for this aphid which, fortunately. is
not generally very serious in this
region. Part of the aphids migrate
to the roots. producing knots and
swellings which often materially in
terfere with the nutrition of the
young tree. Aphids on the roots
are difficult to control, but may be
checked by soaking the surrounding
soil with the nicotine solution.
The woolly aphis has cruious life
history. migrating from the apple to

Perennials From Seed.

Many of the herbaceous perennials
which form such an essential part OF
the flower garden may be quite easily
grown from seed sown in late June
and earlye July. Columbine, canter-
curry bell, coreopsis. hardy pink. lark
spur. delphinium, gaillardia, gypso-
chila, primula, pyrethrum and sweet
William are among the many kinds
which may be propagated quite easily
in this manner and which, If pur-
chased as young plants. would be
quite expensive in a quantity sufii-
cient to make a garden. Aside from
the cost, there is a lot of satisfaction
and good experience to be gained IN
raising plants from seed.
Just as cold frames are necessary
in early Spring to protect young
plants from cold, so they are again
necessary in July to protect the young
seedlings from the intense sun and
rapid drying of the surface soil. To
secure the necessary shade, the cold
frame should be provided with a
screen covering made of material such
as laths. The soil in the cold frame
should be carefully prepared and if
very clayey. as is often the case in
this locality. should be lightened by
adding sand and, if possible, sifted

about six inches apart and the seed
covered shallowly with sifted soil
pressed down firmly with some fiat
object such as a piece of board.
After planting, the bed should be
wet down thoroughly. using fine
nozzle so as to avoid washing out
the seed. With the lath screen in
position to prevent drying out and to
lower the temperature, one may anti
cipate very favorable results. The
bed will, of course, require occasional
wedding and watering, but nothing
like the care required to grow plants
in open ground.
Roses.
Although Washington can hardly
expect to rival Portland, Greg, as
rose city because of our less favored
growing conditions, nevertheless we
have good reason for being proud of
the fine display of this favorite flower
in our public parks in late May and
early June. The rose gardens near
the Highway Bridge were for many
weeks a beautiful sight and attracted
many visitors. Here are growing

beets. carrots, turnips, witloof chicory,

allowed to remain in the ground all
Summer become stringy and woody.
Paintings made in late June and early
July will be much more likely to be
at a satisfactory stage at the close
Of the growing season. If the weather
is dry when these vegetable seeds are
sown. termination may be fastened
by a thorough soaking of the soil.
Heavy clay soil will require repeated
soaking until the young plants have
appeared well above ground.
Poles or wire fencing designed to
support tall-growing beans should be
placed at the time of planting the
seed or very shortly after the young
plants terminate so that young
twining stems may adapt themselves
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1927-06-18

early to their supports. The older
the bean plant is before stalking the
more difficult it is to get the runners
to cling.
Despite the natural habit Of the to-
mato to grow sprawling over the
ground. this is poor way to handle
this plant in the garden. Staked
plants mature fruits sooner and suffer
much less from decay. And, further
more, they appear neater and do not
take up so much space.
One of the worst pests of the pea
grower is the grackle or crow black
bird. This bird is very fond of the
young peas and can easily remove

the elm to spend the Winter and
early Spring, returning again to the
apple. However. the aphids which
descend to the roots of the apple
are believed to remain there con-
stantly Working under covering
of earth, the root forms are naturally
a greater menace than the above
ground aphids.
The Vegetable Garden.
DESPITE the abundant rains, this
has been a difficult Spring for veg
etable gardeners. The unusually cool
nights of late May and early June
proved detrimental to the young, hot
weather vegetables such as beans, to-
matoes, elephants, cucumbers and the
like. These vegetables simply cam
not thrive without real warm weather.
Now is the time to consider veg

them from the pods. There is prac-
tically no remedy except to poison or
shoot the birds. Scarecrows appear
to be almost a delight. All told, birds
are a help to the gardener, but GER
tain kinds such as the English SPAR
row, robin and grackle might be
easily spared.
Timely Suggestions.
Rose beds which have completed
blooming should now receive a liberal
application of manure. bone meal or
other fertilizer. Some of the old wood
may be pruned out. especially that in

the center of the plants which show
no sign of new growth.
Dahlias should be staked as soon
as possible. 1t is generally advised to
set the stakes at the time of planting,
so as to avoid injury to the young
roots and also to mark the spot where
the root is located. For show blooms,
it is advisable to allow only one stem
to each plant.
Paintings of gladioius bulbs may be
still made with assurance of blooming.
