|FLAYS BOTANETS
OF TIE UNIVERSITY
European Horticulturist Creates
Uproar by Declaring Many
Specimens Misnamed

BERKELEY, Aug. 31.-Suggesting
ical gardens wrongly classified by the
professors of the university be correct
ed before the annual excursion of the
Juvenile horticultural society, of which
he is organizer. Hugo H. Lilienthal, a
European horticulturist residing in
Berkeley, has written letter to Press
ident Wheeler asking for the change.
The contention of LilienthaI that the
plants in the botanical gardens on the
campus are wrongly named has created
the greatest interest here. The charges
of the Berkeley botanist are significant
in view of the fact that he was a
leader in the crusade against Luther
Burbank in declaring the wonderberry,
his latest creation, was the deadly
nightshade of botany.
Lilienthars letter received by DR..
Wheeler was referred by him this
morning to Prof W. A Setchell, head
of the department of botany, TO confer
with the Berkeleyan horticulturist to
learn wherein the university has erred
in its nomenclature of the plants in the
campus gardens.
Lilienthafs letter to President
Wheeler follows:
Hon. BENJAMIN Ide Wheeler. president of the
University of California, Berkeley, Cal.
Dear Sir: As president of the Juvenile horti-
tention to the following: The Juvenile horticul-
tursl society during the last year held its an
nual educational botanical excursions through the
lar excursion ofor this year. However, before
such excursion is held would most respectfully

see that those in charge of the horticultural de-
psrtment would label those that need them and
correct the others previous to the visit of the
society. Possibly tsts- will require some weeks,
and in order to afford the department ample time
the Juvenile horticultural society will postpone
its visit for six weeks | know that YOU are

scientific value of research work of any kind.
This is my sole object in addressing you | have
the honor TO remain. yours respectfully.
HUGO Fl. LdLIENTHAL.
Lilienthal declared today that while
in large measure carelessness had at
tended the marking of the plants on
the campus, he was of the opinion that
the proper attention had not been paid
toward segregating the poisonous spe-
cies from the harmless, to the detri-
ment of freQuenfers of the campus.
Research work in forestry, botany
and horticulture must suffer from the
wrong classification OF the plants and
vines" said Lilienthal. Such errors
are sometimes dangerous, as with poi
sonous plants, and in such cases it is
the duty Of the citizen to take the ini-
tiative in pointing out the errors
Lilienthal said that he had paid a
great deal of attention OF late to the
marking Of the plants on the campus
and had discovered large number OF
mistakes.

MRS. BESANT TALKS
ON RE|NCARNATION
Makes No Reply to Second At
tack on Leadbeater by the
Tingley Forces

OAKLAND, Aug. 31.-.Reincarna-
ton" was the subject of the Gecture
delivered tonight in Eben hall before
a large assemblage of theosophists and
persons curious to see and listen to the
speaker, Mrs. Annie Besant, leader of
the cult.
A reception followed her address. the
club parlors being used as reception
rooms Mrs. Besant will remain in
Oakland two days, lecturing tomorrow
night at the Ebell auditorium on
Brotherhood Applied to Social Condi-
tions." She arrived in Oakland this
morning, accompanied by Irving S.
Cooper. A. p Warrington and Mrs.
Clara Kochersperger, all of them de-
vout followers
The publication of the attack on Mrs.
Besant's upholding of G. W. Lead
beater by Joseph II. Fussen, who is a
leader of the branch of tneosophy pre-
sided oyer by Mrs. Katherine Tingley of
Point Iona, brought no response from
her today She discussed Fusselrs at
tack last Friday in San Francisco,
making little of his charge of immoral
teachings on the part of Leadbeater
and defending the latter as man of
the purest character.
In her ADDRESS tonight MIS-. BeSdnI
outlined and contrasted three theories
of the origin and development of the
human spirit. In turn she discussed
the theory of special creation, by which
God Is accredited with making and re-
leasing a new spirit for each human
life; the scientific theory, which teaches
that heredity is law, and the theory of
reincarnation, which is that the spirit
develops from a divine germ through
countless lives, occupying one body
after another to its goal of perfection,
the divine man. The theory of special
creation Mrs. Besant criticised as maxi
ing necessary a belief In an unjust
God. who creates men unequal. Sci
ence. she declared, explained nothing
further than the physical evolution of
humanity Reincarnation, she said,
started all souls equal, made their
growth dependent on their own efforts
and their quick or slow achievement of
the ultimate goal the consequence Of
their success or failure to grasp oppor-
tunities.

Vanderbilt Cup Races TO
Settle Old Controversy

NEW YORK, Aug. Silt is now
considered practically certain that
there will be an automobile race for
the Vanderbilt cup in October. The in
corporation at Albany of the Motor
Cups holding company gives this as
surance. Back of this Incorporation are
many millionaires interested in auto
mobile road racing and their activity
indicates that the quarrel between the
Automobile Club of America and the
American automobile association has
been permanently settled.
Inspired by the men back of the new
Incorporation, the Manufacturers con-
test association recently started tele-
graphic toll of the automobile manu-
facturers of the country to ascertain
how many would enter into the con-
test for the Vanderbilt cup in October.
The returns are said TO have been
fattering and it is now expected that
the two automobile associations soon
will issue a joint statement announc-
ing the contest.
