Austin officials say
600-year-old tree
poisoned purposely
AUSTIN (AP) — The 600-year-
old Treaty Oak was intentionally
poisoned by someone using a chemi
cal formulated to kill trees, officials
said.
“It’s not an accident,” said John
Giedraitis, a city forester who has di
rected efforts to save the oak, an
Austin landmark since the city was
founded in the 1800s.
The Texas Department of Agri
culture, which has been investigating
the incident, said the chemical used
wasn’t known, but test results indi
cated it was a tree-killing herbicide.
“This chemical is used to kill
trees,” Giedraitis said. “It’s not used
to kill weeds. They knew what they
were doing,”
The oak was a popular spot for
picnics before the city engulfed it in
the 1880s, according to the Hand
book of Texas, published by the
state historical association.
The tree takes its name from a
story that Stephen F. Austin signed a
treaty with the Indians under its
branches.
The treatment last week consisted
of replacing contaminated soil and
injecting activated charcoal and bac
teria into the ground to neutralize
the effects of the chemical.
Giedraitis said no new treatment
is planned unless the live oak starts
losing its second set of leaves. The
tree is putting out a new leaf set in
response to the loss of most of its
spring leaves to the deadly herbi
cide.
Max Woodfin, an agriculture de
partment spokesman, said that if the
person responsible could be found,
the agency could impose civil fines
of up to $ 1,000 and could file a Class
C misdemeanor criminal charge.
The chemical is thought to have
been applied at least three months
ago.
Violence in China alters
woman’s 1500-mile jog
HOUSTON (AP) — A Houston
woman’s plan to jog 1,500 miles of
the Great Wall of China has been
put on hold because of the tumultu
ous and tragic events in China.
Sally Miller Perdue had planned
her trip for August.
“I had sponsors,” Perdue said
Monday. “The whole thing was re
ady. And now the bottom has
dropped out. It’s kind of a sad day
and I’ve never been a pessimist.”
One sponsor, she said, already has
pulled out.
Perdue, 50, said it became appar
ent on Saturday, from reports of vio
lence between government troops
and students in Tiananmen Square
in Beijing, that her dream was in
jeopardy.
Only the day before, she said,
Houston’s Chinese consul, Din Wei,
had assured her the student demon
strations would not affect her plans
to run the wall and the problem
likely would be over by the time her
run commenced.
And if not, she would not be af
fected because she would be running
in remote areas, Perdue said Wei
told her.
Wei did not return Perdue’s calls
on Monday, she said.
“I’ve spoken with his wife,” she
said. “I don’t think he’s talking to
anyone.
“I don’t think he knows what to
say. He guaranteed this would not
be a problem, but he doesn’t have
any influence over when the tanks
move in.”
Perdue-, who was Miss Arkansas in
1958, said she tried for 10 years to
get permission from the Chinese
government to run the wall and fi
nally obtained it in January through
Wei.
Perdue said she planned to leave
for China in August and spend two-
and-a-half months jogging an aver
age of 25 miles daily on the wall.

China’s most famous dissident, as
trophysicist Fang Lizhi, took refuge
in the U.S. Embassy. He had told the
Associated Press last week he was
concerned conservatives might ar
rest him.
Yuan said on television 300 peo
ple were killed, including 23 stu
dents; and 7,000 were injured and
400 soldiers were missing. The eve
ning TV news said 32 people were
arrested, most of them for trying to
set fire to public buses/
Government-issued casualty totals
appear to be low. Diplomats have es
timated the death toll at about 3,000.
A report that senior leader Deng
Xiaoping had died added to the
chaos. The report, from Taiwan,
was denied by the government.
Ming Pao, a Hong Kong newspa
per, said a young guard shot conser
vative Premier Li Peng in the thigh
on Sunday but the wounds were not
serious. It said the guard was shot to
death immediately.
Chinese sources said they heard
the man shot Li because a relative
was killed by soldiers in Tiananmen
Square, focus of the student protest
for democracy.
Zhao supported having a dialogue
with the students and was driven
from the leadership late last month
in a confrontation with Li, President
Yang Shangkun and Deng, the con
servatives who ordered the army ac
tion.
Most of the soldiers involved were
from the 27th Army, which is based
in Hebei province and apparently is
led by members of Yang’s family.
The 27th, which fought Chiria’s
brief 1979 war with Vietnam, in
vaded the city Saturday night and
rolled into Tiananmen Square, kill
ing hundreds on its way.
On Tuesday afternoon, witnesses
said the 27th Army fought with sol
diers from Shanxi province’s 28th
Army, believed loyal to Zhao. There
were no reports of casualties.

staff, told Tass the blast had a force
of a 10-kiloton bomb and hurled two
locomotives and 38 passenger cars
from the rails.
Pravda said the explosion was
heard 16 miles away.
Early today, more than 250 pas
sengers still were unaccounted for,
the news agency reported. Rescuers
searched the burned-out hulks of
the cars for more victims, and mili
tary helicopters evacuated victims,
defense officials said.
“More than 20 civilian and 50 mil
itary aircraft are currently mobilized
in the rescue,” Civil Aviation Min
ister Alexander Volkov told Tass.
Many victims were taken to a burn
treatment center in the nearby city
of Chelyabinsk. Others were taken
to Ufa hospitals, where officials said
special beds for burn victims were
urgently needed.
Special receiving centers were set
up in Ufa and Chelyabinsk for the
relatives of those killed or missing,
Tass said. Doctors from Moscow, the
Ukraine, Georgia and other cities
were flown to the area to assist over
worked medical personnel, the
agency said, and further aid was ex
pected from foreign firms.

Duke, 38, was elected in February
to represent a nearly all-white dis
trict in suburban New Orleans after
a “no-tax” campaign that focused on
“civil rights” for everyone — includ
ing whites.
as a Democrat and then on the Pop
ulist Party ticket. He registered as a
Republican days before entering the
House race, which he won by 227
votes in a runoff with a long-time
Republican.
Duke is a former grand wizard of
the Ku Klux Klan, which he left in
1980 in a dispute with a rival faction.
He then formed the National Asso
ciation for the Advancement of
White People, which he still heads.
He ran for president in 1988, first
When the regular session began in
April, Duke offered nine bills which
would have eliminated affirmative
action and minority set asides and
required drug testing for housing
project residents and welfare recipi
ents.
“I think I’ve pushed the whole
House of Representatives more to
the issues of my agenda, which is
equal rights for all and reform of the
welfare system,” Duke said.
