WIN FIGHT TO SAVE
TREES IN BIG BASIN
Sempervirens Club Assured
That No More Forest Giants
Viii Be FeIled
Park Warden Excuses Himself
by Asserting That SequOias
Cut Seemed Dead

STANFORD UNIVERSITY. March %.
What appears to be victory for those
who started an agitation TO preserve
the big trees OF the Big basin from
destruction came today at a special
meeting OF the state forestry board.
The meeting was attended by prom
inent representatives OF organizations
having headquarters in San Francisco,
Santa Cruz, Boulder Creek. San Jose
and other points in the Santa Clara
valley. The Sempervirens club of
San Jose, which has headed the move
ment, was represented in force. Act
ing Governor Warren Porter. Secre-
tary George B. Lun of the forestry
commission and Secretary OF State
CHARLES r. Curry represented the state.
Ex-senator S. n Rambo. who Is at
present state park warden and against
whom charges of permitting the de-
struction of the trees have been fled
was present and told OF the exact
amount Of cutting which has been
done He said that certain number
OF the trees bounding the park at
Boalder Creek had been marked for
destruction, as they had been burned
and Were to his belief dead These
trees. were being felled by c. Elson. a
iumberman who had taken the contract
onered by the warden. 1t was because
or the destruction of these trees that
the agitation first started, and from
the testimony OF the Sempervirens
delegates the trees which had been
marked were not dead, but would have
recovered full vigor in a few years
Secretary Lull cleared the atmos-
phere by stating that the agitation
within the last few weeks had been
unnecessary and that the warden had
already Issued notice to cease cutting
OF timber. That green trees had been
reiied he was willing TO admit but hs
stated that the trees were to all ap-
pearances dead and that it was ignor-
ance OF the state OF the trees which
had caused their destruction
Those protesting against the destruc-
tion OF the trees were represented by
q committee chosen at a caucus held
this morning, as follows: Judge John
E. Richards OF San Jose. Prof W. r
Dudley Of Stanford university, Rev
Father Kenna of San Francisco. w T.
Jeter OF Santa Cruz. George W Jarnes
OF San Jose. Mrs. Lowell White OF San
