There is talk-of shooting, and everybody directly interested is great ly excited. The trouble started when Dr. M. Kistler ,coroner of Hennepin eountv, started to move a two-story double store from its location at Sixth and Lyndale, one block further north on Lyndale, to make room for more mod ern improvements. The building is feet wide,, and could not nearlv fiiiy be taken up the street without sacri- south of Kamloops when caught ficing a row of splendid elms. Dr. Kist ler consulted with Superintendent Theodore Wirth and Secretary J. A. Bidgway of the park board, and both entered a decided protest against de stroying the trees, altho Dr. Kistler agreed to bear the expense of planting new trees. .:-.,.-,,,_ Ordered Trees Felled. Th park officials saw that the only way in which the old.store could be moved was by cutting it in tfao and moving one section at a time. They so informed Dr. Kistler, who instructed .the housemover, G, A. Anderson, to cut the house in two. Mr. Anderson had the house sawed in two and instructed oy to begin felling trees.

The progress of the building was stopped by force, and the boy who cut down the tree was taken before a police judge, who fined him $3. The dividing of the building does not solve the tree problem. Instead of cut ting 'it lengthwise, as the park officials contemplated, the housemover cut it crosswise, which did not help matters at all. Dr. Kistler says he left the matter entirely with Mr. Anderson, assuming ha he knew how to cut the building. At present the neighborhood is dead locked. The old building has not been moved for a week, and is a serious im pediment to traffic. The neighbors are Tip in arms, as was shown last night when a report was circulated to the ef fect that an attempt would be made to steal a march and move the house under the cover of night.

He attributes the entire trouble to the enmity of one of his neighbors. Just what will happen is not yet known. Park Commissioner C, M. Lor ing is greatly stirred up over the mat ter. He classes the cutting of the tree as vandalism and is greatly disap pointed because the fine was fixed at such a trifling sum as $3. Mr. Loring Aroused,. *1H. "Is it not about time," asked Mr. Loring, "for Minneapolis police jus tices to learn that there is a money value in shade trees, even tho they can not appreciate their value as an embell ishment to our streets and as sanitary agents?

For'Journal Readers PRESIDENT FIGHTS PEOPLE'S BATTLES Democrats Sought to Discredit Him for Noble Performance of Duty. Shafts of Tillman and Bailey Flattened by Documentary Evidence. By W. W. Jermane. Washington, May 15.Since las* Friday President Boosevelt has been the subject of almost continuous furi ous partizan assault upon the floor of the senate, and of as furious defense. The democrats, led by Messrs. Till man and Bailey, have been trying to convict him of changing his mind on the question of court review, and final ly accepting an amendment, that pro posed by Mr. Allison, which the dem ocrats claimed was as broad as it was possible for the English language to make it. Coupled with this charge, they tried to convict the president or bad faith, with having invited the democrats to 'combine -with him. at a. time when, it seemed that democratic votes would be necessary if legislation was to re sult, and. with afterwards^, when he found %that the republicans were will ing toy vote for the bill with the Alii son amendment, deltherately deserting the democrats, without a word" of warn i ng ^or notice of any character to them whatsoever. Bitter Charges Fly. It was further hinted that Attorney General Moody, who had been the pres ident's representative in -the Confer ences with, Messrs. Tillman and Bailey, was in a huff, and likely to leave the cabinet, he also being impressed with the fact that the president had been guilty of bad faith. The attorney general, it was claimed, had been left in the lurch by the pres ident, and did not know thai tne presi dent had abandoned the negotiations until informed of that fact by the newspaper men. The. debates which were the out growth^ of the situation thus briefly sketched have been the most bitter that" the'senate has known since the days of the second Cleveland administration. It has been the greatest sensation of the entire Roosevelt administration, and has been the sole subject of- conversa- tion in the capitol, the hotel lobbies and the streets of this city, by" public men of every party. President Cites Facte. Finally the question became so acute that the president considered it best to notice'it officially, and so last night he gave out to the press a long letter* which he had addressed to Senator Al lison, and also a letter from Attorney General Moody to himself, which gives the president's side of the case and Will no doubt bring the matter to an early close. The democrats, as I have stated re peatedly in this correspondence, have beenled on in this furious attack on*-' the president thru their bitter disap- i pointment at not being permitted to_X help in the -.tment of rate legiala- &s tion. The polK-'cal significance of their being perm\*.ed thus to help in"" rthe passage of theVite bill would hav been, so great that m"" some excuse per-1'e haps exists for their bitterness, and' the degree of their disappointment is qnite accurately measured by the ex treme lengths to which they have gone in bitter denunciation. It will not be necessary for me to discuss the president's letter to Sena tor Allison, or the attorney general's letter to the president. These docu ments follow. Charged Too Much Action. One of the charges brought against* the president in this connection by the democrats was the charge that he was" violating the spirit of the constitution and trying in his position as chief exec utive to influence the action of a iio-or- VI' dinate branch of the government. There are perhaps some old-fashioned folk in this country who adhere to the old-fashioned doctnne that there should be an eternal separation between the three co-ordinate branches, and who see a man on horsback" every time any president confers with members of the two houses of congress with a view to discussing pending bills. These old fashioned folks are sadly in the minor ity. The active participation of presidents in the work of shaping legislation be gan with Jackson, and it has grown steadily into the present moment. Tern porarily, under Lincoln, owing to the great stress of the times, this participa tion assumed formidable proportions. I has been a part of the policy of every president since Lincoln's time, and it will' continue to be part of .the policy of every man who sits in the white House. People Demand It. This participation is the outgrowth of a demand made by the -people them selves that the president be their per sonal representative. The question asked hj the country is no longer, will the president enforce the laws oi con gress, but rather, will congress enact Continued on 2 Page, 1st Column, MMU
