June 25.

The Indignation of Menlo Park Inrorpo-rationists over the action of the San Mateo county supervisors last Monday In eliminating certain acreage territory from the area designed for the rutura Menlo Park municipality will find a further outlet tonight when a public meeting will be held at the improvement dub's rooms talk over the situation. At a meeting of the county supervisors Monday, the board adopted a revised map of the proposed municipality, which excludes a considerable amount of land over which a dispute lias centered for several weeks. Pro-Incorporation Ists of' I Park feel that the land should not have been excluded, and that the board 'of supervisors "recognised those who asked to be admitted to the municipality. The pro-incor-pn canonists further contend that the board should have adopted the map which they first submitted. We want the American privilege of the ballot box to decide what territory we incorporate, a spokesman for the Incorporation-ists declared today.

It was declared that court action will be -commenced with a view toward forcing the supervisors change their stand. The supervisors will be served formal ngtlce of this at their next meeting July it was stated. Among the more noteworthy real estate sales of recent date is that pf the IS acres of orchard land on the northwest corner of the state highway and Murphy avenue, leading Into Sunnyvale, owned by Assemblyman C. C. for approximately fS.OOA 'an acre.

This price la believed to lie a record for highway Holdings in parse parrel. 'The purchasers, Mr. and Mrs. W. Adams of San Jose, will subdivide the.

property Into business lots oo the highway and Murphynear future, avenue and residential holdings In the rear. Thla transaction was consummated by W. D. Wasson of Palo Alto. Another Important sale, dosed recently, was that of the O'Brien holding on the atata highway to Philip Lansdale.

There are six acres in thla tract Several deals of more than usual Interest are pending in the city and are expected to be ready for gnnoupreniept in the near fu- lure.

Oaks adjoining the railroad crossing have been lined with flowers, and this will be extended so that the northern entrance to the city will present an attractive appearance. Mr.

Miller has devised a novel means of Irrigating the Palo Alto tree. The construction of the cement bulkhead has periled the tree's water supply, and In order to relieve the danger, eight 6-Inch pipes have been sunk at regular dlstancea from the, tree to a depth of eight feet; nine feet of gravel below the pipes conduct the water to tbe roots pf the tree. Another project for the beautification of the city has commenced on the land, occupied by the water tower- on Alma street. Lewna will be sown, -and benches lined with shrubs, will be provided. As soon as the debris on the property used as the city corporation yard on Bryant street is removed, the landscape engineer will plant shrubs end flowers.

Instead of the present fence, a prlvett hedge will be planted in front; the side walls will be banked with shrubs; the water reservoir Is to be garnished with i flowers; and the storage bullying will be remodeed. The present pumping house Is to be removed a new stucco building, similar to that on 'the property of the dty nursery, will be erected. A large number of shrubs and flowers general nursery stock are being cultivated In the municipal nursery, preparatory to the development of other parks which have been contemplated for Palo Alto.

The Chinese civil governor of Canton today received a reply to hie protest to the British consul general in which the latter placea all responsibility for the deaths of Chinese yesterday while they were pared ing opposite the foreign settlements, upon the Chinese authorities. In hli note the Chinees governor asserts that soldiers and police at the British concession suddenly opened fire with machine guns and rifles after the parade had paased almost entirely up Shakes street. The fire, the Chinese official contends, was directed at the crowds and was participated in by police end soldiers of the French concession who followed the British lead. A Portuguese gunboat fired big guns with the result that tha killed end wounded totaled more than 100. This brutal killing waa premeditated end secretly planned, the civil governor asserts.

When he heard the particulars, the Ch. nese official said he was exceedingly amazed and In duty bound to enter the moat serious protest He added that the entire responsibility for the affair rested upon the civil and military at the French and British concession and the Portuguese soldiers and gun-boats concerned. The British consul general replying points out that the Portuguese gunboat took no part In the unfortunate affair. It waa the defense forces of the Brjtlah and French concessions alone mho replied to an attack made on them by Chinese troops or military students on their aide of the canal. can, from the evidence of my own eyes, make the statement on oath, he aye, that the firing was first started by Chinese.

The senior British naval officer and myself were standing unarmed by the bridge for the special purpose of guarding against any precipitate or nervous action on the part of the defenders, and only escaped with our Uvea out of a hall of bullets directed at us.

You state that the action, taken by the British end French authorities waa premeditated. 'This 1 absolutely deny. Tbe consul general point- out that the premeditation waa on the part of Chinese troops or military students, who as' well known beforehand and pointed out to Chao Chu-wu in the consul generals letter of June 22, had determined to create an incident with the view of posing martyrs afterwards. The consul general statea that it waa well known in Chinese 'circles In Hongkong and Canton on June 22 that an attack on Shameen was contemplated and would take piece on the 23rd and that In the forenoon of the 2Srd motor cars were distributing leaflets signed "Students Union of the Military School of. the Kwang-tung Army, Inciting all and sundry to rise and drive out foreigners.

The consul general repudiates emphatically the Chinese 'charge that responsibility rests with the foreigners for the recent disturbances and aalu the civil governor to take the most com-' plete measures for safeguarding the lives of British residents in and around Canton.
