CITIZENS SUBSCRIBE, SAVE FAMOUS ELM Py Associated Press) LAWRENCE, Mass., June 6. Citi zens here have raised a large fund, to t save a giant elm from the wood choppers' ax. Legend Fays that more than a century and a half ago a young soldier returning from the French and Indian wars, stopped for the night at the Bodwell homestead in this city. He was without money but in the morning he sought to do something in return for the kindness shown him. Mrs. Bodwell suggested that more shade was needed at the southwest corner of the house, and so the soldier went into the woods, brought back an elm sapling, planted it, and went his wya. The old gables house, sheltered through the years by the elm grown to splendid proportions, recently changed hands and word went out that the tree was to be cut down. A movement to save the ancient landmark was started, the owner agreeing to sell the entire property without profit. School children have had a large part, in raising the required $10,000. It is proposed to use the house as the headquarters of a historical society but the purchase of the building is only incidental to the saving of the famous elm.

TO BE RULED AGAINST BY NEW YORK SOLONS NEW YORK, June V The New York legislature at its next session will be asked to erect stronger legal barriers against price fixing combinations. Its committee investigating buildng trusts expects to recommend legislation intended to preclude a rep etition of collusion, uniform price making and extortion such as it has exposed during hearings in New York. This committee, it has been learned from official sources, favors jail and penitentiary sentences for individuals who prey upon public or private purses by choking free competition. , It does not consider that fines impose sufficient punishment upon such men. Untemeyer is Active. For violations of state anti-trust laws a minimum sentence of six months probably will be recommended in the proposed legislation. In this way, Samuel Untermeyer, counsel for the committee, contends that officers of concerns convicted of gouging the public suffer as much, at least, as those guilty of disorderly conduct. Conspiracy to defraud the city, an occurence which the investigation brought out had not been infrequent in the past, would be made a felony if the committee recommendations were adopted. Other suggestions will be to compel every contractor dealing with the city to agree to compare quotations with others; to forbid contractors from belonging to any association that hampers the offering of unrestricted bids and to compel them to submit a list of all subcontractors engaged on a particular piece of construction work. It is understood the committee also will request the legislature to prohibit agreements between labor and employers where the union fixes the price which employers must charge builders for labor. The committee expects to conclude its long series of open hearings in June, but. the housecleaning among building trades may go on much longer. Additional indictments are predicted by Mr. Untermeyer. Already more than 200 individuals and concerns have been fined or sentenced to imprisonment as a result of the inquiry. Sixteen master plumbers were sent to the workhouse after the committee finished with them ami their organization. They were found guilty of restraint of trade. Seven other men were sentenced to penitentiary terms, among them the wealthy labor leader, Robert P. Brindle, and John T. Hettrick, a lawyer who operated secret codes for various building groups. Others who were heavily fined included 21 plumbers and plumbing concerns, 29 cut stone contractors, 15 sand and gravel dealers, 19 building material men and 14 firms controlled by them. 23 plumbers were given tu pended sentences.

Chamber of Commerce Asks Action on Bad Crossing A "dead man's crossing" was pointed out to the county commissioners by the good roads section of the Chamber of Commerce, the crossing on the Union pike one and one half miles northwest of Richmond over the C. and O. railroad, being so termed. The commissioners were asked to take up with the public service com

mission the question of bridging the crossing, the cost to be divided between the railroad and the count-. The commissioners stated that they would investigate the matter and question the public service commission regarding its policy.

HUNGARIAN DESIRE , FOR ENGLISH CUSTOM SEEN IN BUDAPEST (By Associated Press) BUDAPEST, June 6. Sympathy for England has always been very strong in Hungary, but tne last two years it has been approaching anglophobia. Attempts have been made lately to transplant to Hungary the conventionalities of British society. A "League for the Propagation of British Etiquette" has been formed, which is trying to reform some modes of Hungarian intercourse. The League first concentrated its efforts to abolish the customary shaking of hands and long conversation inevitably following the casual meeting of two persons and to replace it by a simple "How do you do?" With this object the members of the League ar strolling the whole day along th street, yearning for opportunities to instruct the public in the new way of greeting and parting. Custom is Decided Change. When any unsuspecting friend, with the smiling anticipation of a conversation in his face, ncars the anglomaniae. stretching out both his hands warmly, the member of the League stiffly bows his head, cries. "How do you do," and hurries away before th thunderstruck individual has time to recover. "We have done our best for the introduction of this good old English manner of greeting, but with little result." stated Baron John Bornemizza. president of the League. "Somehow short greetings do not agree with our society. I just met a friend and when passing him, I said the new, 'How do you do?' "Would you believe that that man stopped me, clung to my coat sleeve and with wet eyes expressed his gratitude for my interest in his personal welfare and entered into a detailed description of his ill health. "At that moment, another member of our League approached, and unsuspcious of any harm, said his cheerful. How do you do?" I escaped, leaving the Hungarian clinging to my, colleague's reciting the same tale from beginning to end. "No." concluded Baron Bornemizsa, "my hopes are not very bright that the

i short manner of greeting will prove i j success In my country." j Dismiss U. S. Appeal on Monopoly Rulini (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, June 6.
