SHANNON CRITICIZES
D. C. CHERRY TREES
Favors Removal of "Caponized"
Plants to Make Way for JET
ferson Memorial.

Washingtons loudly proclaimed
Japanese cherry trees were character
lied as "caponized trees-trees that
bear no fruit and the blossoms Of
which have no scent" in an address
delivered last night in Reading, Pa,
by Representative Shannon, Democrat,
of Missouri, speaking before the Young
Mems Democratic Association Of Berks
County, Pa, at the annual Jefferson
day dinner. He urged that the Thomas
Jefferson Memorial be constructed
here forthwith, despite the trees that
may be affected at the Tidal Basin.
Nothing that jefferson ever said or
did indicates that he would bemoan
the prospect of destroying few of the
cherry blossom trees so highly publi-
cized," declared the Representative.
Let us analyze these trees" said
he. They cannot be correctly called
cherry trees, because they bear no
cherries. Once year they blossom
forth, but their blossoms have no
fragrance. They are beautiful, per-
haps, but as an eye witness will say
that there is not a peach orchard, nor
an apple orchard, in this country
that does not put them to shame in
grandeur and beauty, and the latter
bear fruit in addition to being beautiful.
II say that Jefferson would waste
no time lamenting the loss of capon-
lied trees-trees that bear no fruit
and the blossoms of which have no
scent.
THE work on the memorial to this
great man should not be delayed by
such flimsy objections" said the
Missouri Representative.

While citizens are called on to do

Hazen, in discussing plans several

ordered to crack down" on offenders
who wilfully violate sanitation laws.
The period devoted to cleaning up
and painting was set aside by recent
proclamation of the Commissioners.
Citizens were asked to beautify their
premises, if possible, and recondition
their homes or repair their property.
With so many unemployed employ

Street, director of the Public Welfare
Board, urged residents seeking repairs
or yard work to apply for labor at
the United States Employment Serv-
ice. Most Of the employables are regis

trades, so the Employment Service is
able to simplify matters for the house.

All complaints and appeals for

rector Eugene L. Vidal, will not be

schroeder's resignation, to become a

Ing seriously the appointment of
successor to Schroeder from the ranks
OF the Bureau Of Air Commerce. It
has been recommended by aviation
organizations and members of Con-
gress that the bureau be freed from
political appointments and be es-

appointments and promotions based
on technical qualifications and eff

The fate Of the recommended career
service, at least for the immediate
future, will be determined in large
part by the manner of selection Of
Schroeder's successor, it is believed.
Bureau officials also are considering
further reorganization of the bureau,
necessitated by the consolidation of
the posts OF assistant directors in
charge OF air navigation and of regu-

by Schroeder. The two posts were
held by Rex Martin, director for navi-

ACTION ON RELIEF
AWAITS HEARING
Senate Subcommittee to
Consider District Supply
Bill This Week.

With reports in hand indicating
no improvement in relief and unem-
ployment conditions, the Commits
sioners are waiting for word from
the Senate appropriations sub-com-
mittee in charge Of the District bill
so they can make q final plea for
an additional 100000 to provide
more adequately for relief during the
1888 fiscal year.
The Senate subcommittee may be
ready to start hearings on the local
supply bill before the end of this
been set
That the load of unemployable
families on relief is remaining con-
slant was shown by the March re-
port OF Miss M Alice Hill, director
of the Public Assistance Division
Except for old-age assistance, which
increased 207 cases between February
and March, or from 1,772 to 1879,
other forms of public relief are al
most the same for the two months.
The machinery of the Board Of
Public Welfare to take care Of some
OF the 5000 "unemploed employables"
until deficiency funds are available IS
not yet ready to set in motion. The
$25,000 available to spread over May
and June will not do very much, it
was admitted, to alleviate suffering.
Commissioner Allen said he was
hopeful Of obtaining an emergency ap-
preparation Of $4,000 in the defici-
ency bill to provide for the immediate
needs Of this large group during the
remainder Of the fiscal year. Without
this much, or major portion Of it,
the burden of their care will have
to fall almost entirely on the shoulders
OF hard-pressed private relief agencies
and the churches.
The old-age assistance cases are
increasing in number, it was reported,
because the public assistance division
staff is working its way through the
large list of cases which are pending
investigation.
Appropriation of at least 100000 q
month for the remainder of the pres
Civ AAaSal yCdI W IIlctJ ISllcl 1l06uS
was advocated in a resolution adopted
by the civic section of the Woman's
City Club yesterday.
The resolution calls for expenditure
Of the fund under direction of the
Board of Public Welfare. It also was
advocated that permanent appropri-
alton OF at least $1,000,000 be made
available to the board, to be used in
its discretion in meeting relief needs.
The resolution was adopted at q
meeting Of the section at which the
local relief needs were discussed by
William H. Savin, director of the
Family Service Association, who said
there now are II 900 cases in the Dis
trict of employables needing help and
5000 cases on direct relief. There are
about three persons to case, he said,
making total of more than $4,000
persons on relief or in need OF aid.

Holiday And Coop
Union Will Meet

The Minnesota Farmers Holiday
Association and the Cooperative
Union Activities are holding a joint
convention in IIontevideo on October
25 and 26, Monday and Tuesday.
Governor Benson will address the
joint convention. There will also be
included on the program a represent
tative of organized labor.
Two main questions will be dis
cussed at the convention: First there
will be the need for uniting all pos
Sible farm organizations in the state,
SO that statewide organizing cam
paign can be launched this fall and
continued into next year, which will
greatly enlarge and strengthen the
progressive farm movement. 1t is
believed that there is wide sentiment
for such unity amongst the farmers
Secondly, there will be a point by
point discussion of the program
adopted at the statewide farm con-
ference held in ST. Paul on October 4,
upon the suggestion of Governor Ben
son. The Representatives of many
Minnesota farm groups are already
associated with this program, and the
delegates at this convention should
have the opportunity to work over
and perfect this program so that it
may have the support of every in
terested farm group.
