B—6 PARK EXECUTIVES & T0 CONVENE HEE 1932 Sessions of Three Groups to Be Held in Capital. \ Will Study Local Problem. ‘ ‘Washington will get another conven- | tion for bicentennial year in 1932, when | it becomes host next Fall to the Amer- | ican Institute of Park Executives, the| American Park Society and the Ameri- | can Zoological Parks and Aquariums group, which will bring more than 200 celegates from ell parts of the United States, from South America and Can- sda to the National Capital. This was the news brought back to- day by Frank T. Gartside, chief of the Park Division of the Office of Public | Buildings and Public Parks, who, with | C. L. Wirth of the National Park Serv- ice. Interior Department. induced the delegates to pick Washington for its next year's meeting place. Licut. Col. U. S. Grant, 3d, direc- | of Public Buildings and Public ks, who has been appointed chair- of the Program Committee for the convention, said today that tentative plans called for a number of trips around Washington and adjacent ter- ritory, presenting the park problems of this region. The park executives will endeavor to aid in solving these prob- | lems by their expert suggestions, and a dinner with outstanding speakers, has | been set down the the program. An effort will be made to get away as far as possible from the formal indoor convention routine, as the opinion of the visitors on developing Washing- ton's park system will be sought by utilizing the parks as a laboratory, Cal. ! Grant said. Serving with Col. Grant on the Pro- gram Committee will be Dr. William M. Mann, director of the National Zoo- logical Park, Mr. Wirth, Mr. Gartside and three members of the Executive Committee. Y. W. C. A.

Kyne g of Eden INSTALLMENT XXVIIL N Nate Tichenor's latest move Silas Babson and fellow directors read only a last-minute effort, in- spired solely by malice, to embar- rass the district with a law_suit that would drag through the Sum- mer and thus for another year deprive the valley of water. To thwart this, therefore, it was imperative that the district employ an imposing array of legal talent immediately and have Tichenor's sut to obtain a_ permanent injunction go to trial without delay. Four days later both sides had finished with their witnesses, both legal bat-| teries had fired their last broadside, and his honor looked gravely over the top of his desk at the belligerents. “Since this case went to trial” he announced, “the Supreme Court of the State of California has rendered a unanimous decision in an appeal from a decision rendered by the Superior Court in a case similar to this. Due to the recent decision of the Supreme | | Court, an advance copy of which has only this morning reached me, I find myself in the embarrassing position of having to reverse my previous view as to the constitutionality of paragraph 534 of the code of civil procedure, upon which the defendant corporation has ed its argument in the issue at trial In general, the Supreme Court of the State of California holds that there |is no such thing as flood. storm or freshet waters in a stream, but merely a seasonal rise and fall of the stream and that all waters therein, not merely the so-called Summer or normal flow, are riparian to the bed thereof, and may not be diverted from such riparian lands for the use and benefit of a non- | riparian owner. The Supreme Court holds that all of the waters of said river «which, of coursz, applies to all streams throughout the State) are an inalien- able vested right of the owners of the lands riparian thereto. “This court has no alternative but to award to the plaintiff the perma- nent injunction prayed for, restraining forever the defencant public service corporation, Forlorn Valley Irrization District, from diverting any of the waters of Eden Valley Creek. This court also assesses the costs of this ac- tion to the defendants, as prayed for in the complaint, and it is so ordered. At a later date the court will issue a formal written decision, but the court can see no reason for refraining from rendering an informal decision at this time and referring the defendant cor- poration to its sole and inalienable right at law—the right to acquire the lands of the Bar H Land & Cattle Co. et al. through condemnation suit or purchase by private treaty. Court is dismissed!” There was nothing else for Silas Bab- son to do save weep—and he did. He laid his tired head on the counsel table and sobbad as if his heart must break. “Don't take it so hard, Mr. Babson,” his_counsel continued. more arrow in your quiver. The dis- “You have one able. You cannot have Eden Valley for less than $2,000000, and the lands in are already mortgaged to the limit.” Babson, red-eyed, gazed at him with | something of the | trapped mink. “You've ruined Forlorn | Valley,” he quavered. “You realize that, don't you?” | “I haven't given any thought to For- lorn Valley,” Nate rplied coldly. “Just now I'm reveling in the joy that comes of the knowledge that 1 have ruined | you. Al I have to do to save Forlorn Valley is to press a button.” “For God's sake, Mr. Tichenor, do | it,” Babson pleaded. “All those poor people—" |~ “Who refused to permit me tq be kind to them and save them from ruin?

He had fainted. A group of farmers seated in the rear of the court room now got up and stalked out. Tichenor followed | them to the door and stood watching them. As if acting under the stimulus of a common purpose they walked to their shabby automobliles parked along the curb and drove out of town at a | high rate of speed.

What are we filflk to do tomorrow if this run continues, Mr. Babson? We hlve‘n't more than $20,000 in the vault now.” “Don’t open the bank tomorrow if you see a crowd in front waiting. Paste a notice in the window that this bank has closed temporarily and will reopen as soon as I have returned from San Francisco with cash to meet all de- mands for withdrawals. Got to have an excuse to keep 'em quiet.” Babson got out his life insurance policies and read their provisions care- fully. He knew there was a clause in them which nullified them if the in- sured committed suicide, while sane or insane, within a certain period follow- ing the issuance of the policy. Yes, that period had now passed. He had $200,- 600 worth of life Insurance in force and his wife was the beneficlary. His creditors could not levy on that. So he wrote his wife a letter, instructing her how to invest the insurance money safely to yield 6 per cent, inclosed this note in an envelope and returned it to the tin box marked “S. B.—Personal.” This box he placed in the bank vault where it would be found readily; then he left a note for Mr. Rookby, got in his car and Grove away up country. ‘Two weeks later Rube.
