DECLARES COUNTRY CLUB is
IN MOST EXCELLENT SHAPE

VENICE, Aug. 9.-President r. A.
Phillips of the Venice Country club
has had his attention called to the fact
that statements, either carelessly OF
with malicious intent, have been made
regarding the financial standing of the
club.
Mr.. Phillips has the following to say
on the subject: THE Venice Country
club never was in as good condition as
at the present time. A large share OF
the indebtedness has been paid off
money from new members is coming
in constantly, and right now there are
over half a dozen names posted on the
bulletin board for membership which
will be voted on at our next meeting
not know what object the persons
could have had in declaring that the
Country club is on its last legs. YOU
may say for me, however, that we are
not only alive but are receiving new
blood continually and expect to cut
some figure among beach organizations
in the future"

Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
LONG BEACH, Aug. 9.-How Miss
Alice Andrews, 81 years old, of KAN
sas CITY, Mo-, escaped death by drown
ing in the plunge this afternoon is q
mystery.
That she was saved was due to the
guard and his rapid action.
Miss Andrews, who is a clever SWIM
mer, was floating on her face at this
deep end of the bath house pool when
she suddenly disappeared beneath the
surface. Other swimmers in the plunge
thought she had simply dived.
Several seconds later, from his stand
on the curbing, Patrick Burns saw the
young woman lying fiat on her back on
the bottom Of the plunge, her hands
folded across her breast, He dived into
the seven feet of water and brought
her to the surface. He was readily
assisted in lifting her from the pool,
and she was carried to the emergency
hospital.
She revived rapidly and after half
hour was taken to her rooms at Hotel
Julian. Heart failure Is believed to
have caused the near-tragedy.

special TO The Herald
PASADENA, Aug. "a boom in the
brass band business is taking place
here, and from having practically no
band at all, Pasadena now has two
which are very much alive.
AT meeting of the old Crown City
band, held Friday night, Professor HUI
bert H. Parker of $50 N. Madison ave-
nue. was elected director, and he has
already taken active charge. Two re-
hearsals a week have been arranged
for, and the organization is ready for
engagements of any kind. 1t has prac-
tically completed arrangements by
which 1t will assist the Americas Re-
publican Marching club during the
campaign.
Professor Albert Shaw, former direc-
tor of the Crown City band, has not
been notified that the members have
CHOSEN his successor. He was not pres
ent at the meeting where that action
was taken, and has had no official in
formation in regard to 1t.
II the members wish me to stand

Shaw to The Herald correspondent this

for me that still have a band. 1t is
called Shaw's Pasadena band and the
best men of the old organization will
all play in it,
II shall be able to do much better
work than have in the past, since my
hands will not be tied. l shall be
obliged to secure some musicians from
Los Angeles, but will have strictly

for engagements at any time. I ex-

CANNOT AGREE ON ACTION
AGAINST WINTER FLOODS
Small Minority Of Property Owners
Refuse to Contribute Land for
Right Of Way Along
River Bed

Special to The Herald.
SANTA ANA, Aug. 9.-Trouble over
the question of providing adequate
protection against winter floods Tor
lands along the Santa Ana river below
this city is slowly gathering, and IN
less the unexpected happens may soon
amount to something serious.
Proponents of the plan to BOND the
district affected in order to defray
the cost of building levees and con-
structing bikes where necessary ana
those in opposition have come to a
deadlock, and a meeting called for this
afternoon to endeavor to arrange some
amicable settlement was SO thlnly at
tended that nothing could be accom-
plished.
The specific trouble is over right
of way for an artificial channel Tor
about two miles along the river bed,
and while. all but two or three prop
erty owners are willing to contribute
the land needed those two or three re-
fuse to assist and say they will stand
pat until the matter is threshed out IN
the courts.
Conservative property owners today
predict that when the floods do come
those whose holdings are liable to be
damaged assuredly will take the mat
ter into their own hands and divert the
water where it will do the least harm.

GATHERED ABOUT TOWN

SANTA ANA, Aug. 9.-The regular
monthly meeting of the California state
hospital directors was held here Satur-
day night, the business consisting OF
auditing and examination of the
monthly bills. The meeting was held
here because of the quarantine in force
at Patton.
Robert j. Andrews, who was stricken
with paralysis last Thursday, died
Friday night. The funeral will be
held here Monday afternoon, and
the services will be under the dlrec-
ton of the local lodge of Odd Eel

The Southern California sugar fac
tory management is now in the field
to secure a sufficient acreage of beets
to supply the plant next season, and
is offering special inducements to farm
ers to take up beet growing on an ex-
tensive scale. A careful estimate of
the area adapted to beet growing
shows that at least two thousand acres
should be grown near enough to de-
liver to the factory by wagon.
A non-partisan political meeting is
called for next Wednesday evening at
the city hall to provide for a vote of
the people at the regular November
election on the question of making pri-
maries mandatory in this county.

FISHING CLUBS WILL
TRY FOR PROTECTION
PROFESSOR HOLDER POINTS
TO DANGERS AHEAD
This Coast May Share Fate That Has
BefaIIen Atlantic Waters If the
Breeding Season Is Not
Held Sacred
sreoial to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
PASADENA, Aug. AT the next
session of the state legislature the
Tuna club, with all the other fishing
clubs in this section Of the state, will
appear and make a strong plea for
protection of the fishing beds Off the
coast during the spawning season.
This is the statement of Charles r.
Holder, famous all over the world as
an angler and sportsman.
The fishing party at San Clemente
island several weeks ago, OF Whicn
Prof. Holder, Senator Frank P. Flint,
James A. Garfield, secretary of agri-
culture; Clifford Pinchot, chief forester,
and others were members, talked the
matter over extensively, and all agreed
that steps should be taken at once to
prevent the extinction of the fishing
beds off the coast of Southern Califor-
mia.
The project of turning San Clemente
island into a United States forest and
game preserve has often been dis
cussed recently, but there seems to be
some legal difficulties in the way be-
sides the fact that the island is at
present leased to private party. For
this reason, Prof. Holder states, the
legislature will be asked to assist.
"People think that the fisheries of
the sea can never be exhausted" he
says. "But they have been on the At
tic coast, and they can be on this.
All we ask is protection for the fish
during their breeding time. This Is alb
solutely necessary and fair to all con-
cerned.
"At present the sardine beds around
the channel islands are being destroyed
by seining at all seasons of the year.
If they disappear the large game fish
that prey on the sardines will disap-
pear also. The sardine fishers are OPP
posing our move for protection, but 1t
is to their interest as well as ours to
have such a measure passed"
Prof. Holder states that former Game
Warden Connell has promised to en-
gage actively in the campaign. There
is no division of sentiment among the
anglers on the subject, and he believes
it Is possible to convince the legisla-
ture that the fish should be absolutely
protected during the spawning season,
which lasts only two months.

PHYSICAL AILMENT FORCES
YOUTH TO ANNEX PROPERTY

Special to The Herald.
LONG BEACH, Aug. 8.-Because OF
the pressure Of a portion of his skull
against his brain, Robert Jeffries, a
local lad, simply could not keep from
stealing.
The local police took Master Jeffries
into custody time after time, and as
many times he promised the Long
Beach justices that he would never
again take what did not belong to him,
but always, for some reason that he
could not explain, other peoples goods
stuck to his fingers.
Finally he was taken before Judge
Curtis D. Wilbur in Los Angeles, who
became interested in the case and called
physicians into consultation, for the
Jeffries boy did not appear to be
criminal.
The physicians decided that an opera
ton was necessary, and this was I'M
dertaken.
The boy is now rapidly recovering,
and it is believed that, with the the
pressure removed from his brain, he
will not be affected as he has been.
Judge Wilbur Is watching the case
interestedly and has visited the youth
frequently.
