Special TO The Herald.
PASADENA, May give are
planning to give the performances to
raise funds for doing the things that
must be done at Tournament park.
We need the money badly enough to
work our hardest to get it," said Presi-
dent r. S. Allen of the Tournament
of Roses association this afternoon IN
discussing a plan now under way 10
give two outdoor performances of
Shakespearean plays in Tournament
park sometime within the next few
weeks.
1t is thought the novelty of attend
ing the classical plays contemplated at
out-of-door performances, under
spreading live oak trees, which Will
themselves make up much of the seem
cry, will attract a great many people
who would not attend such plays ex-
cept in the natural environment in
tended for them; and the tournament
directors believe the venture will prove
highly successful
Although the plans are still indefi-
mite, 1t is probable the plays will be
given in June, and there will be either
a matinee and an evening performance
or two evening performances. The
plays to be given will probably be, las
on l@lkS II anu
Nights Dream"
Famous Players Here
Several of the players in the famous
Ben Greet company, which was highly
successful in giving such outdoor
plays, are now in Southern California,
and it is said their cooperation can
be secured in the plays now being
planned for Tournament park.
By utilizing the oaks at the east side
of the park 1t is thought that the sur
roundings can be made most attrac-
tive and admirably suited to the two
plays in question. Performances SIM
liar to these have been tried before
IN the gardens at the Raymond hotel
with success and the novelty of the idea
is making a strong bid for general ap-
proval.
On account of the great mass of city
work on hand, City Attorney Wood has
not yet reported to the council commit
tee and directors of the Tournament
association as to a method of voting
the proposed $4,000 bonds so that the
money can be used under the direction
of the Tournament association for
building a new grandstand, enlarging
and moving the track and making 9TH
err improvements at the park. 1t is
expected that this question will be de-
cided soon, however, and steps taken
to put the question before the people.

Following Attorney Proctor's dafensa
Of DT. GlazebTOOks testimony and ad-

discussed expert testimony and hearsav

part OF the charge. He asserted that the
prayer and charge were consistent.
In rebuttal, Mr.. Tucker, for the de-
fense, reiterated his argument of Friday
He said the act under which the present
trial was held did not repeal the former
food and drug act in existence in the
District.
Judge Kilnban, in denying the motion
for new trial. said:
All questions which have arisen over
this motion are definitely settled In my
mind, with the exception OF Dr. Glaze
brooks testimony. Under the circum-
stances and the law, as see Il. feel

The law As argued in this case does
not, to my mind. necessarily seal the
