LECTURE ON "PARSIFAL" IS
HIGHLY APPRECIATED
"PsychoIoqy of the Mind" and "Trees
of California" Given, with Illus
trations, by Well Known
Authorities
srecial to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
VENICE, July 9.-Today's program of
events in the Chautauqua at the Audi
torium presented an interesting and
varied range of subjects, running from
lecture on forestry to a superb rem
dition of "Parsifal' on the grand pipe
organ by DR.. Bruce Gordon Kingsley.
Prof. J. H. Hoose of the University
of California, opened the morning ses-
sion with an illustrated lecture on the
Psychology of the Mind"
In the afternoon Prof. w. L. Jepson
lectured on 1.-The Trees of California" T"
This was also illustrated by views of
tree-life from all over the state. Among
the many facts brought out and en-
phasized was the startling fact that
in the case of the tan oak the trees
are stripped of their bark and cut down,
the trunks being left to rot or be con-
sumed by forest fires. He said:
when you figure that it takes five
trees to make one cord of tan bark,
and that approximately 25,000 cords are
cut annually, it can be readily seen that
there is cause for alarm as to the pres
ervation of our tan oak forests"
In the evening the Interpretation of
the opera 'ParsifaP' was presented on
the pipe-organ by DR.. Bruce Gorden
from this fascinating opera.
DR.. Kingsley gave a short explanation
and then accompanied the really superb
scenes from the great opera through to
the final crowning of Parsifal.
The masters touch on the organ, in
with the slides thrown on
the screen, left his audience, at the
close of the act, sitting in silent adj
and the switching on of the
lights was a signal for round after
round of hearty applause, to which the
artist responded generously. This is
voted the event par excellence of the
to date, and was thor
ence.

journed it's meeting today and attend
ed the afternoon session in body. In
terest is increasing greatly and the

FIGHT OYER PROTECTION
OF LANDS STILL PENDING
Attempted Settlement of the Newbert
Litigation Apparently Unsatisfac-
tory and Further Negotiations
Are Now In Progress

Special to The Herald.
SANTA ANA, July 9.-The settle
ment of the pending litigation in the
Newbert protection district case seems
to be far from satisfactory arrange
ment, as meeting held yesterday in
an endeavor to bring the warning fac
tions together failed of the proposed
result. The district voted $185,000 of
bonds for improvement of the Santa
Ana river, to protect adjacent lands
from overflow, but later suit was
brought by a disaffected faction OF
those included in the district to in
validate the bonds on the ground that
the preliminary proceedings were not
according to law. This suit was de-
cided adversely to plaintiffs and an
appeal was taken, but decision has
not yet been rendered.
Meantime the less radical portion of
the opposition to the proposed i'm
matter amicably by eflecting compro-
mise under which certain improve
ments actually necessary may be made
and the cost borne by the whole dis
trict. This proposed compromise fixes
$4,000 as the probable cost of con-
structing dikes and levees sufficient to
provide for all requirements, and, If
that sum suffices, the plan is that the
bonds in excess of that amount be de-
stroyed. This plan was broached at
the meeting held yesterday, but moth
ing definite was decided on and an
other meeting was arranged for to-
morrow, when final action will be
taken.

TOURNAMENT PARK
PROBLEM STILL UP
DIRECTORS WILL MEET WITH
CITY COUNCIL
Association OFFICIALS Declare No More
Rose Festivals win Be Held
Unless improvements Are
to Be Made

Special to The Herald
PASADENA, July 9-Directors of
the Tournament of Roses association
will meet in special session with the
city council some time before the meet
ing of the latter body next Tuesday,
and an effort will be made to arrive at
q solution of all the problems now be-
fore the two bodies regarding the I'M
provement of Tournament park.
This decision is the result of the spe-
cial meeting of the council this after
noon, at which the troublesome matter
was carefully considered.
The city now has before 1t the propo-
sition of the Park association to deed
to it all the land owned by the asso-
citation provided $50,000 is spent in i'm
provements.
1t is not yet known how the city at
torney will regard the details of this
proposal. All plans by which the park
might be suitably improved and at the
same time remain the property of the
association have been blocked hitherto
by his report of legal difficulties. At
the coming meeting a supreme effort
will be made to solve all the problems.
Mayor Farley is exceedingly anxious
that nothing shall come before the
voters to interfere with the success or
the water bond election, which Is vital
to the community.
Officials of the Tournament associa-
tion are becoming desperate over their
inability to get the park enlarged, and
absolutely refuse to hold another tour
nament there unless the improvements
are made.
If the extraordinary meeting to be
held in the next few days does not
settle the trouble the prospect for the
fete next New Years day will be very
black.

committee, had o KID the bill, had
presented it to Local Treasurer Mahar
