Creator of Frisco
Eden Is Honored
BY Municipality

SAN FRANCISCO, June 26-San
Francisco recently changed its civil
service law SO that John McLaren,
famed landscape expert and creator
of the city's Eden the beautiful
| Golden Gate park. would not have to
retire when he became 20 years of
age. In addition. his employers, the
board of supervisors. voted him a
SEVENTEEN birthday present of a so
per cent increase in salary.
Since 1887, soon after McLaren
| came here from Scotland. he has
been park superintendent. and has
converted what once was a dreary
stretch of sand dunes into an allur-
ing wilderness, noted throughout the
world for its size and beauty. For
years he and his wife have lived in a
cozy lodge deep in a park recess.
Until changed, the law said that
McLaren would have to go on the
pension list and give up his lodge
when he became 20. The supervisors
changed the law to read that en-
ployes receiving over $500 month
are exempt from retirement pro-
visions and. to put McLaren within
the law, increased his salary from
$500 to $725.
McLaren handled the big task of
Iandscaping the grounds of the
Panama Pacific exposition here In
1915 and in odd moments of recent
years he wrote a book. Gardening
in California" which has become a
standard textbook.
When McLaren first came to the
park there were no lakes, few roads,
few trees and scores of acres OF sand
dunes. He had 20 men on the payroll
and thought IL he could have 100
everything would be well. Now there
are some 800.
McLaren knows every tree. shrub
and flower in the big park by all It's
names. Practically every growing
thing in the big reservation was
placed where it is by his personal di-
rection. He located the bridges,
waterfalls, miniature canyons, lakes
and boulevards. He made the park
what it is and San Francisco is satis-
| field.
Now, at 70 years, McLaren is plan
ming a new addition to the big park
giving him more acres to plant.

Honsteaders
And Cattlenen
Use Same Spring

Following a hearing of the dispute
between cattlemen and homesteaders
in the district formerly the Dixie ma
tional forest in Mohave county over
the water rights to two springs, a
plan was worked out by c. G. Lewis,
deputy state water commissioner
who conducted the hearing, whereby
both sides in the controversy will be
permitted to use the waters of these
springs. An order to this effect will
be issued in a few days by w. s..
Norviel, state water commissioner.
The plan as proposed by Mr.. Lewis
and accepted by the contestants gives
the homesteaders the surplus waters
of the Big Spring for their domestic
use and at the same time gives the
cattlemen all the water they need for
their cattle. A float valve is to be
installed in the troughs at the spring
to regulate the water supply.
The Big Spring has a continual
flow of 40 gallons a minute and the
homesteaders will pipe the water IL
miles. Storage tanks are to be built
to store the surplus water in the win
ter. The waters of Cold spring, the
other spring involved, is to be given
to the cattlemen. There were five
cattlemen and II families Of home
steaders involved in the dispute.

H|RST DENIES WIFE
IS RESPONSIBLE FOR
HIS CUNSH0T WOUNDS
States Attorney Opens
Probe To Fix Blame In
Mystery Shooting Of
Wealthy Contractor

FREEPORT. N. 7, June 26.-The
mysterious shooting of Oscar A.
Hirsh. wealthy electrical contractor,
ON the lawn of the home of Reine
Davies. former movie actress, late
Saturday night. today took another
turn when Mrs. Hazel Hirsh, released
on bail after having been accused OF
shooting her husband, took him home
from the Mineola hospital to nurse
him back to health.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Hirsh denied
she had pulled the trigger in scuf-
fle after their departure from a
party given by Miss Devies. but nei-
ther said who fired the shot-whether
Mr.. Hirsh or a third party.
Mrs. Hirsh declared that. far from
firing the shot. she was doing every
thing possible to prevent it"
Hirsh. who is well-known in the
towns theatrical colony, defended his
wife.
"You don't think I'd be fool enough
to come back TO a wife who had shot
me, 90 YOU AS was doVSCh W 49,
attorney. IF she were the kind of
woman who should shoot. would she
be the kind could shield?
''It is silly for anyone to think
that would do anything to harm my
husband" Mrs. Hhirsh said. Our
relations have been too close. My
husband knows / was not responsible
in any way for his being shot. and
knows l did everything possible to
avoid his being shot by trying to save
him."
Assistant District Attorney Elvin
N. Edwards, who has charge of the
Investigation, stated that, so far, his
Inquiries had shown no traces OF
anything but a quiet Saturday night
sparty on the Davies lawn before the
shooting. He said, however, that
there were several details which must
be cleared up before the real story
of the shooting could be determined.
One, he said. concerned the finding
of two revoIvers. Hirsh, the prose-
sclftor said, admitted owning both.
One is a .32 caliber and the other
"a .25 caliber. One shot had been
fired from each gun.
The other bothersome point, Mr..
Edwards said, concerned Mrs. Hirsh.
She appeared at a hearing before a
police judge with one eye injured.
While il did not appear to be a reg
ular ''black eye" it was cut and dis
colored. So far. no attempt has been
made TO explain it. Mr.. Edwards
asserted.

trip tourist rate to but one point in
Arizona. that to the Grand Canyon
notwithstanding the fact that South
ern Arizona is noted as a. winter re-
sort. and that the difference in fares

very slight. This exhibit also showed
that passengers buying round trip
tickets from Arizona points to east

routing privileges which passengers
in California were permitted In
other words. Mr.. Belts explained, a
passenger buying round trip ticket
from Phoenix to Chicago could not
go on one road and return via an
other line not allied with the orig
inal line without paying an extra

In refutation of the contention of
