The oyster war is being waged by the L. W. Smith Oyster Company on one side and the Darbee-Immell Company on the other, and both companies are determined to possess the contested oyster beds, even at the cost of shed- ding human blood. A few days ago the Darbee-Immell | Company hired a man by the name otl Mathiesen to drive a line of stakes out- lining the lands gJaimed by that com- pany, which are also claimed by the Smith Company. As soon as the work was begun L. W. Smith sent a launch from San Francisco loaded with armed men, and Mathiesen and the employes of the rival company were driven from | the beds on pain of being filled full of shot if they attempted to return. The Smith Company has erected a house on piles, covering the oyster beds claimed by it, and shotgun guards are on the watch, day and night, to pre- vent a flanking movement by the co- i horts of the Darbee-Immell Company. EXPLANATIONS OF ““PARSIFAL” DURING LENT BY ZOE GREEN RADCLIFFE. OAKLAND, April 4.—Blessed are the San Franciscans, for they shall see ‘‘Parsifal,’’ and we suburbanites are near enough to be included among the blessed. Buch prepara- tion there is, too, for the great event. Tenny- son is the fad, and every one has ‘““The Idylls of the King” at his or her—mostly her— tongue-tips and you are not up to date if you have not heard at least one “‘Parsifal’” iec- ture. Which really all goes to show that we woolly Westerners appreciate the magnificent opportunity that has come to us and, appre- ciating, we prepare ourselves in fitting man- ner to enjoy Wagner's sublime creation. At Miss Head's school vesterday afternogn Miss Maude Wellendorf and Mise Bertha Buhm, who have recently returned from Bay- reuth, made ‘‘Parsifal’’ the subject of their discourse, Miss Buhm telling the story and explaining the musical motifs and themes rendered by Miss Wellendorf at the piano.

At & musicale given by the Catholic Ladies’ Ald Society yesterday afternoon, ‘‘Parsifal” was discussed by Rey. F, X. Morrison.

In a large city where there are many divisions the parade is an interesting spectacle and as it takes place at an early hour of the morning is a strange sight to early risers.

The lat- FASTERN STORY |WEDDING BELLS TO RING SOUNDS FISHY Professor Jacques Loeb Be- lieves Chicago Scientists Have Been Misrepresented NO LIFE FROM DEATH Explanation of Possible Er- ror Made by Those Who Reported Guthrie’s Words BERKELEY, April 4—Dr. Jacques Loeb, whose experiments at the Uni- versity of California in the fleld of biology have given him international fame, is unable to believe that his for- | mer colleagues of the University of Chicago, who recently were reported to have brought dead animals back to life, have accomplished worthy feat. Before his work at the State Uni- versity lhiere was begun Professor Loeb ter's assistant is Professor Charles C. Guthrie, who now is credited with the statement, publicly made at a recent session of the American Naturalists’ Society. that experiments conducted by Stewart and Guthrie, following in the wake of Professor Loeb’s experi- ments, had resulted in producing ap- parent signs of life in animals that were known to be dead. Dr. Loeb 'thinks that Professor Guthrie has been misunderstood. He is unable to believe that the Chicago man actually made the statement at- |- tributed to him. The possibility of restoring life to dead animals is not, apparently, within the scoe of Dr. Loeb’s belief. His experiments have been directed to the discovery of the secret of life, his experiments, with sea urchins, some of which have been artificially fertilized under his direc- tion, constituting an important addi- tion to scientific knowledge. He has not concerned himself with attempts to restore life. Dr. Stewart, he says, is an intimate friend of his, with whom he associ- ated at the University of Chicago, and who took his place when he came to California. Dr. Loeb says: Professor Guthrie's remarks have been mis- understood, I suppose. He doubtless referred to the common experience of physiologists, who all know that muscular movements occur, under certain conditions, after life {s extinct. That reference has been misunderstood, or distorted, possibly into the statement that life was restored as the resuit of certain experi- merts. o ALAMEDA GOUNTY NEWS JAMES M.

W. Atherton, who was appointed to the principalship of the newly established night school at the last meeting of the board, two weeks ago. Atherton receives a salary of $0 a month in his new position. He pub- lishes a jweekly .paper, as ap incidental venture, and his friends declare that the strictures upon various citizens in | the Atherton periodical are responsible for the enmity exhibited by those who would now see him ousted from the School Department of Berkeley. The School Department recetved Ath- erton’s resignation as one of its-Gfficials in 1901, he having been at that time principal of the Commercial School. Charges regarding his fitness as a member of the department were made at the time as a result of an argument between Atherton and a young woman connected with the schools of the town. Atherton resigned, he declares, of his own volition, and he now resents the statement in the protest filed with the board to-night that he was once dis- charged or relieved of his duties “for cause” bv the Board of Education. Citizens appeared before the board, in support of a protest against Ather- ton’s appointment. Speeches were made in which Atherton’s career was re- viewed, and his past record was de- clared discreditable. Atherton replied in his own defense. The board finally decided to defer action upon the protest until the first meeting in June, when the school of which Mr. Atherton was appointed principal will be closed.

The recommendation . pro- vides for a new bayonet. This in- quiry was made at the suggestion of President Roosevelt as the result of the experiences of the armlies in Man- churia. In his memeorandum to the Secretary of War General Chaffea said; 1 am of the opinion that we should no longer attempt a combination tool, viz, bay- tool, but that we should decide that the ‘troops be furnished with implements, each efficient for its own purpose and separate and distinct. This the committee recommends. ] The bayomet recommended is of the style i:; it issued to the army for use with presen Krag rifle, differing only in that its length increased by six inches.
