WOODMAN'S AXE IS RAISED
ind a Thousand Eistorio Trees in
Washington Are in Peril.
MONUMENT IS MAKING TROUBLE
Wide Destruction Flaaaed to Make
a ArtBat for tho Oeatral Graot
Hamorlak Efforts to
tko Trees.
.WASHINGTON, Oct. 26. A merry litUa
wax is stirring up Washington. Bquabblea,
merry and otherwise, are common enou(U
In the nation's capital, but the dlatinculah-
lnf feature of this one la that it is a fight
between a. monument and a thousand trees.
Bo far as the trees are concerned It may
be a fight to the death.
The monument la of General Grant It
has 'not yet been erected; consequently, so
far as rxjairaaion goes, the trees, some of
which have been on and in the ground for
almoat century, have the advantage.
Whether their advantage" will amount to
nine points of the law rumatns to be Been.
"But surely," i everyone's first protest,
"one monument doesn't nevd the room oc
cupied by a thouaatid treefe!"
Not Juet that. TUle la the way of It:
The committee ot the permission of con
gress to pluc-e the monuioauit in an "unoc
cupied" portion of ' the Uotanlo Garden.
Some Waahlngtonlana have been inclined to
doubt whether there are any unoccupied
pots in the city so far as monuments are
concerned.
But that In au extreme view. As a mat
ter of fact the Giant memorial could be ac
commodated without serious tdbowlng of
any of the otiier real or uoar heroee now
tinpedeaialled la the cvy.
But the plana in the present case do not
atop short at a monument. They involve
a gifat av.-nue or viala hiding from the
pruj-ct4 Ciiaut uwuiorlal. whl-l will stand
at the southern tjae of tho 'Capitol hill,
through the Mall to the Monument; that la,
to tj.e Washington Monument. There ar
muny inonunu-ats in the city, but only one
It is In the clearing of this viatisaatlrt
tslly referred to by its ent-mlea as "a
FYsnchlded lda" tlat the thoitsand trees
must coiue tioii. Apparsutly uobouy in
Washington woke up to this fact until the
9 was aotuaaly laid to the first of the
condemned trunks.
Tl t u the city gut -u4 honied. Tbe
mors It found out the louder became Its
protests.
The swath which, If the plans are fol
lowed, will be cut through the Botanical
Gardens involves the destruction of no less
than forty historical trees. Superintendent
William R. Smith, who has been In charge
of the garden for over fifty years and who
started In flower pots many of the finest of
the great trees, stood among his arboreal
cronies the other day and pointed them out
to a Bun reporter.
"Look!" he said. "There's Mr. Evarts.
and there's Mr. Blair, and there are the
two Morrllls and Edwlrt Forrest, and John
Forney, and here why, look here! here's
Charles A. Dana! That tree I raised from
an acorn brought from the grave of Con
fucius and aent to me by Mr. Dana.
"Here is the finest willow oak In the
country. It was planted by Mr. Maybury,
but I call it the Jefferson tree.
"The willow oak was Jefferson's favorite
among trees. When he was out riding
he used to stand on his horse In order to
gather the acorns from those oaks. Turkey
oaks, they are sometimes called.
"And here Is the Washington elm. Wash
ington planted two up near the capltol.
When the old grass terrace wus replaced
by the present marble one tHe trees In that
section of the grounds was cut down.
"This onem the garden was propagated
from one of the roots of the original tree.
It waa planted by James B. Beck, who
married a Miss Thornton, a distant relative
of the Washingtons.
"That magnificent hornbeam is called the
Binghams 8utnner tree. The original Sum
ner tree, as it was known, stood east of the
capitol. There was talk of cutting It down
during some work in the grounds and Sum
ner actually made a speech In congress
pleading that it be spared.
"He declared that he knew of nothing in
the District of Columbia that equaled it in
beauty.. He did not live to see its fate, for
he himself died a few months after making
that speech. To the credit of congress it
must be said that it tried to save the tree.
"The ground around it had to be cut
down, but the tree was left on a sort of
mound. It did sot thrive, so fliey tried to
cut under It and lower it to the surround
ing level. But it gradually withered and
waa finally cut down and made into snuff
boxes.
"The present tree is not a descendant of
that one, but is a splendid specimen of
the same variety '.he hornbeam or, as this
j Is sometime culled, the Italian beech.
' Hem is t.'ie (iarlleld memorial acuela.
! During the funeral rites over the dead
I piesiiient a slip of acacia wua laid upon hit
I infrin. This tree was raided from that slip.
"Ototite it is ai.olhsr specimen planted
in 3883 by General Albert Pike, head of the
Masonic order; One of those Lebanon
cedats waa planted In 1889 by Senator Hoar
and the other was planted In 1890 by Senator
Evarts.
"Those two cypresses are rare ones. Ed
win Forrest sent me the seed of one from
a tree in Broad street. New York. The
other was planted by John W., Korney,
founder of the Philadelphia Press.
'There Is another Lebanon cedar, planted
In 1867 by the elder Frank Blair, who was
editor of the Washington Globe, the organ
of the Jackson faction, during the latter's
presidency. Here Is a Crimean fir, planted
more than forty years ago by Judge William
S. Holman., i
"Here is a glngko, or maidenhair tree,
planted forty years ago by a Japanese
envoy to this country. He bought a. ship
here and I sold him a lot of trees and
plants, but they never reached Japan. The
ship went down on the voyage out.
"There Is the Edward O. B. Branch cy
press. It Is a magnificent specimen, yet it
was brought here In the seed from North
Carolina fifty years ago and I started it
In a flower pot.
"Here Is the Secretary Bayard tree. Here
Is the President Hayes tree, planted when
he was congressman and chairman of the
library commlssison. There Is a British
oak planted to commemorate the settlement
of the Alabama clatma.
"There is Joe Blackburn's beautiful Mag
nolia consplcua and O. R. Singleton's
European linden and the Proctor Knott
oak, the Voorhees oak and the Thaddeua
Stevens oriental plane tree, planted fifty
years ago. '
"There la a Japaneae god tree planted by
Mark Haunal There is a flue cypress
reused from seed Mrs. Jeff Davis brought
me the last time she came for her supply
of plants. Jeffersop Davis had brought it
from the Pacific coast when he came back
from an exploring expedition to that re
gion. "And that Is the famous Crittenden
peace tree. Not peach tree, aa so many
people have Inferred from a typographical
error common to several newspapers. It
is a splendid cvercup oak and was raised
from an acorn aent from Kentucky by Mr,
Crittenden, who was four times senator
from that state and was twice attorney
general.
"I planted It aa a memorial of his efforts
to preserve peace between the north and
the south. I have sent acorns from Uiat
tree all over the country and there now
exist many sturdy scions of this glorious
tree, which Is Itself condemned."
Not only the trees, but the buildings of
the garden are marked for destruction,
The great glass houses, which the superin
tendent calls William P. Fessenden's mon
ument, because It was he who secured the
appropriation for their building, the super
intendent's house itself a gem of pictures
que beauty, the offices covered with the
creepers of an historic vine ull must golf
the work of the commission cannot be
stayed. . .
The vine on the office imlldlng is the
parent of almost all tht thousands and
thousands, of ampelopls vines now to 1c
found In this country. Mr. Smith brought
It to the United States about forty years
ago from Slough, a little place near Wind
sor, England. Ha bought It from a nur
sery man for 13.60. ,
At the . aame lime Hollls Humiewell
brought another slip of the same species
over to J) is estate near Boston. But Mr.
Hunnewell's vine did not seed. Mr. Smith's
did,-and la therefore the progenitor of thou
sands of seed raised vines all ' over the
country. ,
The parent stem may be seen eeelde the
office entrance at the garden. It la several
Inches In diameter and looks good for an
Indefinite number of years, always barring
the work of, monument committees.
Many distinguished protests against the
latter huve been received, including vlg
orous ones from Speaker Cannon and Jus
tice Harlan. One public spirited Washing
Ionian has brought suit, and all the friends
of tho trees are sitting tight and hoping- to
hold back the woodman's axe until con
gress assembles. Then they expect another
summer to come to the rescue.

INDIANAPOLIS MEN INDICTED
Marlon C'oenty Orend Jnrr to Hold
Men Responsible for raasHnsT
Vmr Roll.
INDIANAPOLIS. Oct. ti.-The Marlon
county grand Jury today returned Indict
ments against Henry Marshall of Lafay
ette, president of the Western Construc
tion company and former speaker of the
Indiana house of representatives. O. W.
Baxter, cashier of the company waa in
dicted also. The company has contracts
with the city of Indianapolis for repair
ing asphalt streets. Harry Brunatigh.
agent of the company, charged with pad
ding the inspectors' reports, waa brought
back from Detroit, whither he had fled.
Marshall was indicted for conspiracy to
commie grand larceny and conspiracy to
present a false claim. It la charged that
the city has been defrauded out it sums
from lo,0u0 to S10.O0O since April, by reason
of the padding' of the accounts of the in
spectors of the asphalt repair work.
Thomas ShuffelloD and John Kosaaco, the
inspectors, were indicted today. AU were
released on (5,004 bond tacit.
Japan Is finding that the same trouble
some by-products of benevolent assimila
tion that bothers the white maa also Irk
the brown man. The mlksdo now lias two
little wars on tits hands, "each of them, aa
bothersome aa any expedition In the Sou
dan or punitive march in Samar.
, The Japanese have been fighting the na
tives of Formosa ever since the treaty of-
Shlmonoaeki gave that peppery island into
their keeping. While the Chinese owned it
they were content in their happy-go-lui liy
way to snatch what camphor, teak and
sugar they could from the soil between
raids of the naked savages and to let w.'ll
enough alone. But with the advent of the
little brown soldiers a slow, nagging war
of extermination against tlfe aborigines waa
Inaugurated and It la still in rrogress.
The native of Formosa Is a Malay, very
closely allied to the wilder peoples of the
Phliippiiii s, and, like some of America's
brown wards there, the chief pleasure Is
hunting and preserving heads. The inter
ior of Formosa is a tropical jungle, almost
Impenetrable.
Thre the halite lio low with occasional
forays into the oien and much midnight
sniping of Japanese with long knives. The
Japanese soldiers have taken up the game
with a relish, and no Dyak hunting by
the English in Burma was ever carried on
with more vigor than the rooting out of the
Formosuns is now being pushed.
I.nll Followed by Activity.
During the war with Russia the abori
ginal owner of the soil in Formosa was al
lowed to do very much aa he pleated bo
cause all the soldiers that could be spared
were sent into Manchuria. Only garrisons
at Tel Pel, Keelung and 'the other two sea
ports of the Island remained, and these
were ss alert against the possible arrival
of the Baltic fleet as Incursions of the na
tives. But since the war the Japanese War
office has sent about three regiments to
the Island Uie pursuit of the elusive vbild
of the forest, who is after nil blood brother
to the Japanese ccccotding to sume ethnolo
gists, has begun in earnest. Toklo papers
recently told of the plan of . campaign
mapped out for the army In Formosa.
It comprised the regular cleaning out of
one section of the country after another
right through the center of the Island.
Railroads are being built hi Formosa and
others are to be built after the lnrerlnr has
been pucltled, so the thorough extermina
tion of the native must go on apace.
The Japanese armies, not very large, but
trained through past experience In JunKle
fighting, have started from the south end
of the island and, according to plan, will
go through to the north shore, "pacifying"
the natives. Within the next ten years or
so the only good Formosgn will bo In tho
category of the good Indian.
Corea Gets Attention. V
Japan's litis war In Corea has just be
gun and the journals of Japan voice the
opinion of the people when they profess
Ignorance as to when it will be finished.
The little war began in the streets of Seoul
last July, when Japanese soldiers shot
down the rebellious Corean troops who re
fused to give up their arms at the com
niandmaud of the Japanese commander in
Corea, General Hasegawa. '
Very much to the surprise of the Japa
nese, who have always underrated the
Corean national spirit and the Individual
bravery of the people, the struggle that
started in Seoul three months ago ha
spread over all of the peninsular, and It
looks as' if Formosan persuasion woull
have to be used. Excerpts at random from
the-latest Tokio papers will show the na
ture of the guerrilla warfare that the
Corean patriots have taken up with
fanatical energy.
"A telegram from Seoul under date of
September 11," says the NIclil Niclil Shim
bun, "says that overland transport of mail
from Seoul to Gensan haa been suapended
temporarily, owing to disturbance In locali
ties between the two places. Again, the
Insurgents at Selyu, who escape! the Jap
anese forces 'and arrived at t'hojo, have
Increased their number to l.coo and are
now threatening to attack Kelyu In a body.
The Japanese at the latter place have es
caped to Kwoahu."
Another dispatch says that at Seoul,
Chemulpo and Fusan business Is practically
at a standstill because of the suspension
of produce shipments from the troubled
Interior. Railroad service on the Seoul
Fusan railroad has been discontinued at
several places because the insurgents have
seised the railroad stations and threatened
the bridges.
Three miles outside of Talku, the prin
cipal town on the line of the rallraV be
tween Seoul and Fusan, where several hun
dred Japanese ere living, a band - of
Coreans descended on seventeen Japanese
and wiped them out entirely. This Is the
way the Coreans are fighting.
Hatred for Japan.
They are ail disorganised, untrained tot
the arts of warfare, badly equipped amt
almost starving, but they are Inspired with
a hatred of Japan that has been root4
In the race for 300 years, and they seen
ready to fulfill the prophecy made her la
New York by Prince Yl some months ag
thst his countrymen would resist Japanese
absorption until they were all dead.
Until the Japanese' shall have made
of the peninsula one great barrack thcr
seems little likelihood that they will check
the guerrilla warfare. Corea is a country
ribbed with mountain chaina along it
whole length. Just the one slender thread
of railroad running from south to north
offers access to the Interior, and that rati
road stretches through the very rolddl
of the peninsula. There sr miles of rsgge4
mountains on either side where Japanese
Ao not dure to o singly at present.
At the close of the war the horde of
Japanese immigrants that crossed over
to Corea followed the line of the Ksifu
railroad, and outside of every sprawling,
hideously filthy Corean town a neat Ja
panese settlement sprang up.- Thus one
main artery of Japaneae strength passe
through the land at Its center, and there
is u cross current of Japanese lodgment
along the Yalu river st the extreme ,norih
and some settlement along the coast.
Yet even connected Vy. railroad and aea
traffic as they ar..bee settlements have
already bn hm-rft-,1 In reprisal for Jap
anese, usurpation ail JpE InaoUoc.
General Hasegawa, the supreme ooiuataa
der of the Japaiiesu army la Corea, seams
to have lust hie temper before. Uie exiii-
bitlon of a Corean people finding tlifcin-
selves, for in a Tuklo paper of September
I JO there appeals a niunlfesto from him to
the Corean people which breathes ven
geance uniquely.
