face inevitable destruction. Within a few years the street, which was formerly the most beautiful boulevard in the boro. will be treeless, according to John Herllhy, arboriculturist of the Park Department, who yesterday told Joseph N. Neef, president of the Flatbush Chamber of Commerce, that Commissioner O'Loughlin is powerless to check the wanton destruction of the trees, which stand on city property. ftlr.

accompanied hv Snyder and an Eagle reporter, called to see Commissioner O'Loughlin, but he was out. They were referred to Herlihy. the actlrn? head of tho Turk Department. Mr. Neef and Mr.

Snyder had come to register a protest against the destruction of the tres to which the Park Department gives no protection. Herlihv laid the blame on the Building Department. Trees Fast Disappearing. "The Building Department passes the plans without consulting the Park Department. We never see these plans until the builder comes to us to ask a permit to cut down the trees." he said.

"The roots and b'ranches on one side of the tree ex tend from city property onto the private property, send an in spector and when he says the trees must be cut down we Issue the permit. If the trees are oruned they become lopsided and they are so heavy the roots and branches pull Ihe tree over or it dies." Herllhy admitted that within a few years there would not be a tree left on the avenue. He said that ihe laying of concrete sidewalks cut off all nourishment from the feeder roots. 'We'll set out new trees." he said. but when asked what would be done to protect their feeder roots ad mitted that he did not know.

"We're up against a terrible thinnr." said Herlihy. "The Building Depart ment ought to co-operate with us but it does not. We need $250,000 a year to do the work of the department and we only get $112,000. We need at least twice as many men as we have. "Can't you have these trees properly pruned by experts and save them, instead of letting the builders who know nothing about trees hack the boughs off with an axe?" demanded Mr.

Snyder. "Why do you merely Issue a permit that the tree be left to the mercy of the builder? When the branches overlooking the property are cut, the tree might be saved if the pruning were done by experts." Before he left Snyder got Hehlihy to promise that In the future he would Issue no permits until he had thoroughly Investigated every request, and that he would insist that the tree be pruned by an expert. Herllhy admitted that the 300 big elms along Ocean ave. are worth $1,000 each. Caterpillars In Full Control.

When Mr. Neef and Mr. Snyder arked him what the department was doing to prevent the trees In Flat-hush from being killed by caterpillars. Herlihy said the department wouK get to Flatbush next year. This means thnt every tree whose foliage is being devoured by ihe caterpillars in Flutbush will die within the next two years.

"We have only fourteen spraying machines." -vatd "We can only send out four of them as we haven't any way of getting the others out we lack the trucks to send them on." Explaining why the four active spraying machines could not get to Flnthush this summer and interfere with the high carnival of the caterpillars. Herlihy said that "this year" the department is fighting caterpillars in the Stuyvesant and Bushwick certlnns. "Next year we will get at the Fl it-bush section." he said. 60.000 Trees Infested. The trees along Flatbush he-Ivveen Frospcrt Park Plaza and the Malhono st.

entrance of the park ore alive with caterpillars, as Is Eastern Parkwav. Commissioner O'Loughlin has admitted that 60.000 trees in Brooklyn are Infested with the caterpillars and that he and his men cannot make the slightest effort to reach 36,000 of these trees. As Eagle Man Present at Red Meeting in Berlin; German Workers Aid Chinese Strikers II FEDERAL COURT Move to Be Made Later. Bryan Due in Dayton Today. Dayton.

July 7 Refusal of John J. Gore to Issue a Fod-ral restraining order at Coakevllle last evening insured the appearance cf John T. Scopes in the Rhea County Circuit Court at Dayton, Friday, lo answer a charge cf violating 'he Tennessee statute prohibiting the theories of evolution In public schools. Judge Gore, to whom counsel for the defense of Scopes appealed tor au order to halt prosecution pro-oedings scheduled for Dayton, thai It was not within his jurisdic tion to Interfere with a case pending Hi a State court, and expressed louht that if it were in his poer lie would grand the petition on strength of the allegations set forth The constitutionality of the Tonn-s-ee statute, which Scopes is lleed lo have violated, was not touched upon by the Judge. Xo Appeal Xmr.

No appeal will be taken from Judge Gore's ruling now. it was announced by John V. Neal, counsel for Scopes, but application will be made in the near future to Judge Hicks, Federal Ju.lse foil-astern Tennessee, for a I-'ederal court order. With the uncerlalnty removed as to the scene of th(5 evolution controversy trial, Dayton looked forward to the arrival today of William lennings Bryan, who is on-! of the prosecution counsel. Mr.

Bryan is scheduled to arrive about noon. A. T. Stewart, solicitor general for the 18th Tennessee Judicial District, is also expected in Dayton today to confer with Mr. Bryan and otnera of the prosecution.

Counsel engaged for the defense of Scopes yesterdiy. In CooKeville, nere denied their petition for a Federal restraining order to halt prosecution scheduled for- Dayton. Two petitions were presented In Cookeville yesterda.v. One named Scopes as the plaintiff, who averred that he was deprived, under the 1. twin question, of his liberty and property without due process of law and Ibat enforcement of th law prohibiting teaching of evolution theories u-as not a valid exeicise of the po'ice powers of the State ot Tennessee.

The second petition was in behalf of Robert M. Wilson, a citizen of who contended that under ihe law he was deprived of the rle.ht to give his children a proper education. Both petitions were signed by John R. Neal. Clarence Daxrow and Rainbrldge Colby, of counsel for i-copes.

Judge Gore's Derision. Judge Gore's decision sayw, in part: "I must refuse to grant the issuance of the process asked for by the petitioners in this case for the following, among other reasons: "First The petition shows that the petitioner is indicted in the Circuit Court for Rhea County. upon the charge of violating a State statute and that said case is now pending undetermined In said court, and I am of the opinion that under sections 265 and :66 of the Judicial Code I am not justified In granting the; writ rraven ror. "Tt is conceded by counsel for petitioner that under Section 2fifi an injunction cannot be granted until same shall he heard and determined by three Judges, one of horn at least shall be a Justice of the Supreme Court or a District Judge. But it Is insisted by counsel thnt I neve the power and that it is my duly to grant a temporary restraining order to remain in force onlv until a hearing and determination of the application for an interlocutory injunction upon notice as aforesaid.

"I am of opinion that even if I had the power to crnnt a temporary restraining order I should not do so upon the allegation alleged in the petition. The object of the injunction sought in this case is to restrain the officers of the State from prosecuting petitioner for violations of an act which said officers are expressly to enforce in the only way In which they are authnrizei to proceed: by bringing criminal prosecution in the name of the State. This is virtually to enjoin the Slate from proceeding through its duly qualified acting officers. OBITUARY NOTES MBS. MARY FERRY MOORE of MS lfl'h st.

Sinclair over the possession of Teapot Dome reached its second stage today following action of Federal Judge T.

Blake Kennedy which he denied the Government's motion for a new trial, entered the decree dismissing the suit, and continued the receivership proceedings. Thus the way was made clear tor taking the case to the United States Court of Appeals, which will pass on the decision. Judge Kennedy held that tho lease and all negotiations connerte 1 with it were valid, and that there was no fraud in the dealings between Sinclair and former Secretary of the Interior Albert B. Fall, who arranged the contracts for the Government. Government Asked Retrial.

Government Counsel Owen .7. Roberts and Atlee Pomerene petitioned Judge Kennedy yesterday to grant a retrial of the case on the grounds that further evidence was available in support of the Government's charges of collusion and fraud. This they explained, was made available when the Supreme Court of Ontario held that H. S. Osier, head of the.

defunct Continental Trading Company, must answer questions put to him by the American Government relating to any dealings he may have had involving Fall. Prior to the trial of the case Osier was questioned, but refused to answer the more important ones. The American Government then appealed to the Canadian courts. Government counsel declared Osier could have answered questions regarding the Government's allegation that $230,500 in Liberty bon which had been purchased by the Canadian corporation found their way eventually to the credit of Fall. Substance of Decision.

Judge Kennedy decreed that the question of the validity of the executive order of President Harding. May 31, 1021, transferring Jurisdiction over the Naval Oil Reserves from the Navy to the Interior Department was immaterial so far as the lease annulment case was concerned, and ruled that the executive order was legal and that it was obtained through regular channels. The Government charged that Fall exercised fraud in obtaining the order and that it was void. Unless the Appellate Court upsets the decision of Judge Kennedy. Sinclair and Fall stand vindicated for Iheir action in consummating the lease, which started long Senatorial Investigations into charges of conspiracy, scandal and fraud.

There they overpowered him and bound him.

A third man then joined them and they emptied the cash register of its contents. Not satisfied with this, they untied O'Beirne and ordered him to open the safe, which was in the rear.

AUTOS BEAT MEW BRITISH TARIFF RATE TILT Machines Rushed Before July 1 Evade McKenna Schedules. London, July 7 P) The reim-posed McKenna dutls which became effective July levying among other schedules a 33 1-3 percent Import tax on motorcars, will not be retroactive. Chancellor of the Exchequer Churchill announced in the House of Commons today. This will mean a saving to the importers or purchasers of American motorcars rushed Into England since April 28. when it was announced the Mc Kenna duties would be revived.

During the few days preceding July 1 when tin duties became effective there was a rush into England of motorcar, silks, musical instruments, clocks and watches. These carry Increased duties under the McKenna schedules and traders made every effort to enter large supplies before the higher rates became effective. The so-called McKenna duties were established in England as a war measure but were retained after the war until abolished by the Labor Government headed by Premier P.amsay MacDonald. His supporters charged these duties were the entering wedge for a protective tariff. The duties were reimposed in the budget presented in Arrll by Winston Spencer Churchill, Chancellor of the Exchequer in the Baldwin government which succeeded that of MacDonald.

Suppose an army of several hundred thousand men Is hrought into the country.

They take hold of our railrondi, they establish contact -vith Hil our points of vantage, our manufacturing centers, etc. It is no simple matter to send troops on a long trip. Rest centers must be created, food bases made, a whole system of communications erected. Now, what If the government which sent these forces into Germany suddenly decides thnt we have sinned In some way. The i we are already bound hand and foot.

Our whole country Is already occupied. Fear Communist Agitation. "Imagine, furthermore, that these troops are en route to Poland to ngh with the Poles against Bolshevik Russia. There Is no douht that the foreign troops would be attacked hy our own Communists, they would 1 harassed and sniped at hv the German Reds. It Is also very possible that our extreme patriots of the Right would act In a similar manner because they are unalterably opposed to the transit right which thev consider a violation of our national honor.

One shot fired at a French soldier In transit to Poland might very readily involve us in a war with France, yet no government could prevent the Communists or the anti-French Germans from committing acts which would precipitate hostilities between Germany and France. "Then again. If we allowed French or Italian or British men to use our transport facilities to reach a Polish front and fight against Russia. Moscow would very correctly regard our iictlon as hostile and would be rig it In declaring war on us. And, finally, it Is certainly within the realm of the possible that, situated rs we are Central Europe, we miht easllv If we granted any nation the transit right, become the battle field for all the continent.

Our whole country would be ruined." Hussl Another Obstacle. This Is the argument. It Is th stumbling block which bars Germany's entrance Into the League Xi German cabinet which consented lo the transit right of foreign troops could last 24 hours. On this point almost all parties agree. Moreover, sine- the transit right has now been woven into the pot and the acceptance of the pact made dependent on Germany's entrance into the League, it is difficult to see how the pact will ever receive Ihe final approval of Germany.

This is especially true In view of the fact that Soviet Russia has strenuous ohiec-tlom to the pact and to Gn-mnny's entrance Into the League.

"We arrived just in time to see the Young Communists come marching down the street, under the red flag, singing a new revolutionery song by Oskar Kanehl, the dramatic critic who recently broke up the premier performance of Arnold Bronnen's farce, "Excesses." None of them was more than a child. All of them were very thin and very small.

One little tot couldn't have been more tfian four or five years old, and he stumhied along, finding it difficult to keep up with the others. Bet he had heen taught Oskar Kanehl's new song, and he piped it out in a thin voice that could be heard separately from the others. All of the men in the garden removed their hats as the children marched in. A few minutes later a great army of men marched in. headed by a band playing the "Internationale." As soon as the procession entered the garden, the women began sinirlng the word.

Most of the men in the procession wore Army uniforms, or at least an Army coat, and each one wore a red band on his sleeve. There wore six divisions, and before each division were carried two red flags. Almost everything conceivable was for sale.

About 1.000 people attended, and about one-half listened to the speeches, although all were very careful to remove their hats at the proper moments. These Communists are very careful about their ritual. The other half of the people sat or stood drinking beer or coffee, eating sandwiches and talking. It was as much a serial affair as anything else. Although the meeting was held in behalf of China.

were no Chinese present, except the speakers and the very small delegation with whom I made the journey. Herr Wu explained to me that he and another man manage everything, and that the rank and file "et together about twice a year to aprove what-i vcr he has done. The foeiing between the Chinos and Japanese here is very bitter nnd very intense. It is no longer possible for a Japanese lo obtain a meal in a Chinese restaurant.

Special Correspondence of The Eagle) Berlin. June 24 The Aug question is very much to the fore In Berlin. In the rostoflices there are placards with pictures of the new flags of the German republic, including a war flag, which is the red, white and black of imperial Germany, with a huge. Mack iron cross encroaching on all three stripes, tin the Wahn-see, near I'otsdani.

there are literally hundreds of sailboats many more sailboats than I have ever before r.een together and each boat Hies, not the flag of the republic, but the Hag of the political party to which Its owner belongs. Perhaps the flag which most accurately symbolizes the present state of Cermany is that which today was floated over the Reichstag a. flag which was neither red. white and black nor red, white and gold, but red, black and gold the flag of what may be aptly described as the Imperial German Republic. I'lider Hie Hag.

Hut toni-iht It was the red flag in Germany, a Communist meeting in the Karlsgarten, to protest against the injustices done to China and to affirm the solidarity of the German working class and the Chinese work-Ing class. The meeting was arranged by one Heir Wu, a young chap us remarkable as the combination of his Chinese name with his German title. Heir Wu is by all od.ls the definitive Chlm se personate in Ijerlin, although he is not more than 25, and should not. according either German or Chinese tradition, command a great deal of respect or enjoy a widespread Influence. Yet it has been hispered to me that Heir Wu can tell the Chinese Minister lo Berlin what kind of reports to send back to l'eking for home consumption.

After a long Journey across Southwest Berlin, we alighted from the Strassbahn to be erected hy a large outpost of Communist guards, wearing army coals with red bands on their sleeves, and carrying walking-sticks in their belts as if they were swords. The moment we alighted from Ihe car their r'ght arms were raised, their fists were clenched, the Communist sign of greeting to the possible comrade.

Then we started through darkening, narrow. dirt streets that wound their way la -tween rows of dilapidated. smelling buildings, until we came the Karlstarlen. We were M.Mrcl at the pate long enough for ev one to join In th" Communist cr men had been working in St. Teter's and are under ariAt.

By 1OUIS FISCHK.R. tSitrctnl Correspondence 0 The ICaale) Berlin, June 23 The mosi difficult problem of many presented by th'i Security Tact Is that of the transit of foreign troops across Germany. If the pact flounders It will be largely because of this question. And If there Is a conference of the Towers, the transit matter probably will demand the most attention.

Ocrmanv suggested the Guarantee Pact because she wants French troops out of the Rhineland and oe-cause she seeks to prevent repetition of a Ruhr invasion. By terms of the pnet as Berlin proposed It, Germany would renounce all claims to Alsace and Lorraine and demilitarize the Rhine district, thus insuring France against a German attack. She would furthermore sign arbitration treaties with Poland and Czechoslovakia, countries In which France has a special Interest. The text of the pact. In the form It came from Minister Stresemann's ullice.

Is very short, concise, direct anil clear. The French ponltlon hinges on the right of non-German 10 cross German territory. Paris tb-tnancls It as a sine qua non of the part agreement. It is interesting that the reply written by P.ilitnd 10 the German pact offer doeH not mention ihe transit problem directly, yet It Is Insinuated into Ihe note In three different places. First, there Is 1 general hint at It.

Then, the French Insist that they should act as the "guarantors" of the arbitration treaties between Germany and Poland and Chechoslovakia, that thev are to have the right to march their troops Into Germany In the event of 11 violation of these treaties. Finally, the Brland note conditions the acceptance or the German part draft on Germany's entrance Into the League of Nations. Heart to Knter IeBRue. Now Germany has several times expressed her willingness to accept membership In the League, provided Article 1 of the League covenant, which makes It Incumbent on uny iiieinher-slate to allow tho passage of foreign troops when these troops are engaged In a "sanction" operation ot the League.

If, for Instance. Poland and KiihsI.i make war upon one anothei and League decides to come to the aid of the former. Germany would, us member of the League, obliged lo grant French, British and other soldiers the uuthorlty to enter and march across German soil. It Is against this that Germany objects. Her chief argument Is th it a country without an iirmy cannot permit foreign army tr.
