and set out in my petition that there

Larsen said he interested Judge
Malmin in the case and the latter
agreed to help him get q settlement.
He said he introduced Judge Malmin
to Ickes in Washington and the two
talked about the case.
Told to Drop Matter.
Larsen said some time ago Depart
ment of Justice agents questioned him
about the case. He said he telephoned
DR.. Saunders at that time and the
latter told him to drop the matter"
But, Larsen said, he refused.
Malmin, arriving here from WASH
ington, expressed surprise at the
action of Secretary Ickes.
"All I asked Of him Qckes)," he
said, was that he establish friendly
relationships between three men
Roosevelt, Ickes and Malmin. I'm
sorry he has misunderstood the situa-
ton and acted foolishly. invite q
public hearing"
Malmin disclosed he had been seek
ing appointment either as district at
torney here, Governor of Puerto Rico,
or Minister to Finland.
Charges Poor Judgement.
AS to the case at hand, he ex-
planned, the matter dealt with settle
ment of the estate Of Clarence
Saunders. who died in 1928 leaving
s19,256 in cash and two lots in Los
Angeles. Ickes, he asserted, used
poor judgement as lawyer for the
administrator.
Instead of distributing the cash
to the two heirs Malmin said,
"Ickes spent $1,000 in clearing the
title to the lots"
Last June Larsen told me he was
going to ask the Bar Association to
investigate Ickes. AS friend of
Ickes, I suggested see him in Wash
ington and straighten the matter out.
l went to Washington the following
October After explaining the facts.
1 told him to forget the matter be-
cause I was satisfied he did no wrong

Miss Eliza ScidmOre Credited
With Obtaining Cherry Trees

The story of the cherry blossoms
has been told scores of times, but
every now and again some new and
hitherto neglected angle Of the tale
comes to light.
Oliver Martin Is responsible for
the latest additions. In the current
issue Of the Transmitter, monthly
magazine Of the Chesapeake g. Po-
tomac Telephone Cos, he writes Of
the part played by Miss Eliza Scid-
more. "In 1885," he says, "she Wis
tied Japan and viewed with admira-
tion the cherry trees in Uyino Park,
and an idea came to her that similar
cherry trees would help beautify the
Capital City of her native land. 1t
was in the first year of President
Cleveland's first term, and she went
to one of the administration officials
with photographs of the cherry trees
in Japan and with plea that similar
trees be planted in Washington in
the great stretch of raw, reclaimed
land along the river. The official
listened to her patiently and politely,
but nothing was done about it,"
However, Miss Scidmore was not
discouraged. Pictures and pleas were
presented to officials in each succeed
ing administration, and each time
they offered various arguments as
to why Japanese cherry trees could
not be planted in Potomac Park. -
One gentleman said that the Gov
ernment would have to enlist an
army of policemen to keep boys froa
stealing the cherries! And when
he was told that there would be no
cherries, only blossoms, he declared:
What! No cherries? What kind Of
a cherry tree is that?"

KAISER REFUSES COMMENT.
Has Promised Dutch to Refrain From
2oliticaI Activities.

BERLIN. April 81 (P).-The former
Kaiser Wilhelm declined today to
comment on the unexpurgated manu-
script of an interview he gave in 1908
to William Bayard Hale, American
newspaper man, and published in the
May issue of the Atlantic Monthly.
Baron Ullrich Won Sell, Wilhelm's
adjutant, communicated with his
master at his home in Doom, Hol-
land, and issued the following state
ment:
Il regret to say that his majesty is
unable to offer any expression Of
opinion concerning the Hale interview.
His majesty has given his word Of
honor to the Dutch government that
he will refrain from all political &C
tivities.
The Far Eastern question is a
highly political one and one which
involves the most delicate consider
alton.
Besides, Holland With her Far
Eastern colonial possessions is directly
affected by events in the Orient. His
majesty is determined not to give
even semblance Of meddling in po-
litical questions"
Evening star., 1934-04-21

ported IS varieties of the species and
had them planted at his home near
Chevy Chase, Md. They bloomed
in due season, thus proving Miss
Scidmore's contention that Japanese
cherry trees would prosper in the
climate Of Washington.
The Inauguration of President Taft
brought a new hope for the success
Of the plan. Mrs. Taft had lived
in Japan, knew that country ant
liked 1t. Miss Scidmore enlisted her
aid in getting an avenue of japanese
cherry trees planted in Potomac
Park" And Mrs. Taft acted instantly.
Her first move was to telegraph a
nursery in New Jersey to assemble
all the japanese cherry trees they
had. The nursery collected total
of 80, and they were planted where
the Lincoln Memorial now islands.
At about the same date DR.. Jokichi
Takamini, celebrated Japanese chem
ist, was in New York with the Japa-
nese consul general. He heard that
Mrs. Taft was interested in Japanese
cherry trees, and suggested that he
would be glad TO make gift to her
and to Washington of 1000 of the
trees
Mrs. Taft graciously accepted the
offer, and DR.. Takamini at once
cabled instructions to Toxic. Two
thousand young cherry trees, grown
on the grounds Of the Agricultural
College of the Imperial University
were shipped to Washington on De-
cember IS, 1910, by way of Yoko-
hama. The trees we're presented in
the name of the City of Toxic"
But when the gift was received in
Washington experts of the Depart
ment of Agriculture found the trees
Evening star., 1934-04-21

infested with parasitic insects and
ordered them burned. DR.. Takamini
"at once cabled to Toxic to nave
5000 trees gathered and kept under
observation for shipment In 1911"
Mr.. Martin reports: "On January
IL, 1912, the second shipment of
cherry trees arrived in Seattle and
was sent to Washington, after passing
all inspections and tests in Japan
and this country. Miss Scidmore
succeeded in having Yoskinos, one
of the most popular varieties and
among The first to bloom, planted
around the Tidal Basin"
"The festival of the cherry blos-
soms," Mr.. Martin concludes, has
been celebrated in Japan for more
than a thousand years. During this
time there are feasts, dances and
masquerades."

NOME, Alaska, April 21-Prof.
Otto Schmidt. leader of Soviet scien-
tiflc expedition rescued recently from
ice foes of the Arctic Ocean, had re-
covered so well today from an attack
of pneumonia that he planned to
leave Sunday for New York, en- route

While he and Pilot George Ushakov
made their preparations, the other
Russian refugees rescued from the ice
by airplanes were being transferred
from Uelen and Van Karen to st
Lawrence Bay. thence to Providence
Bay on the Siberian coast. There
they will await the arrival of two
Soviet ships now endeavoring to work
through the ice of the Bering Sea.
The refugees, members Of the
Wrangell Island scientific expedition,
we're left stranded on the ice foes
when the ship sank February 13.
