TEP & Several Governors Pledge Aid for Bill to Buy Calaveras Grove. e The Calaveras big tree committee of the Outdoor Art League of Califor- nia is meeting with signal success in its effort to institute a national move- | ment for the preservation of the Cala- | veras big trees. Mrs. Lovell White, | chairman of the committee and presi- dent of the league, is in receipt of many letters from the chief executives | of a number of States, from United States Senators and from men promi- nent in the work of forestry, all of whom promise their hearty co-oper&{ tion in the plan to have the Gu\'ern-l | | { ment purchase the giant grove with a view to its perpetual preservation. A bill for the purchase of the trees has already been presented by Con- gressmen J. N. Gillette, J. C. Need- ham and the California delegation. | Former bills were approved by the | Public Lands Committee and were | passed by the Senate, but they failed | to secure a hearing in the House of | Representatives. Therefore, the Out- | door Art League has resolved to make the preservation of the Calaveras | groves a national affair. To this end | a council is being organized to consist of influential men and women in each State, whose purpose is to aid in form- | ing a strong Congressional committee, whose duty shall be to act in conjunc- | tion with the California Representa- | tives in devising ways and means for securing the passage of the big tree | bill. APPEAL TO PRESIDENT. Supplementary to the forming of the | State councils, petitions are being cir- | culated throughout the United States for presentation to President Roos: velt, requesting the nation's chief ex ecutive to aid in preserving the Cala- veras big trees. The petition follows: | The Calaveras groves of big trees are the | property of private Individuals and are in danker of destruction Belleving that these extraordinary _trees | should be purchased by the Government and converted into a public park for the use and | pleasure of the citizens of the world, and Whereas, The two bills heretofore presented for the purchase of the big trees have not been allowed to come up in the House of Represen- therefore, the Calaveras Big Tree zens of California and else- nation to do all in your nower to advance the in- | terests f the Calaveras big tree bill now | pending in Congress. | MRS. LOVELL WHITE, | President Outdoor Art League. | MANY SIGN PETITIONS. | Already the petitions have been | signed by an aggregate of 150,000 sign- | ers. As high as 25,000 signatures were | received in one day. The petitions will | be forwarded to the President as soon | as the country has been thoroughly canvassed in that connection. | Letters were also sent to the Govern- | ors of the various States and responses | were received in each case pledging earnest and hearty support of the pro- ject. Governor Albert B. Cumming of Iowa writes that he will work for the bill in question and that he will bring it to the attention of the Committee on | Federal Relations in the Iowa Legis- lature. Governor Heyward of South | Carolina assures the committee of his | support and will enlist the aid of the | leading newspapers of | and the cf his State. Governor Peabody of Colorado writes | that he will be delighted to co-operate in the movement, which he designates manager of a large redwood manufact- uring company. He has for the last | few years been connected with the | Pacific Redwood Shingle Association, | which comprises all the mills of Hum- | boldt and Mendocino counties, with | headquarters ‘in the Rialto building, | New Montgomery street. He is a| bright young business man and his | honesty and integrity are recognized by all who have -had dealings with him. | The young couple departed on thP‘ Owl last evening for Los Angeles and | Pasadena, where they will spend their honeymoon, and on their return will go housekeeping in the groom's home at 2626 Sacramento street. .. eivilie Berkeley Office San Francisco Call, 2148 Center Street, Nov. 26. Two society women, Mrs. D. E. Clark snd Mrs. A. L. Stouder, turned fire- men this morning and put out a fire | in the house they occupy at 2132 Uni- versity avenue.
