ONE CHARGE
DISMISSED
vILLAREAL IS NOT FUGITIVE
FROM JUSTICE
MEXICAN REvoLuTIoNIsTs HELD
ON OTHER COUNTS
VIII BE Tried September on Charge
Of LibeIing Copper KIne-Attor-
neys Declare Charge
Trumped

Judge Frederickson dismissed the charge
of fugitive from justice held against Viii
lareal, the alleged Mexican revolutionist.
in court yesterday morning.
Tho judge said he could not consider
charges against the man held in Mexico
as 1t was beyond his jurisdiction. The
prosecution moved the complaint be dis
missed.
There are now two complaints against
Villareal and Magon.
One is a charge of resisting an officer,
which also applies to Rivera.
The other alleges the men were indicted
by court in Missouri for libel of Col
w. G. Greene, the Cananea copper king.
September 4 has been set as the date for
the trial on the latter charge.
Attorney Hartman, for the defense
moved to dismiss the case against the
prisoners. alleging that the charges
against them were trumped up. Judge
Frederickson denied the motion The
Mexican officials want the plotters
against the Diaz administration and will
border.
1t was evident in court yesterday that
sentiment is growing in favor of the
Mexicans They appear to be cultivated
and educated, though they have permitted
themselves to grow uncouth in personal
appearance.
Whether they are right or wrong in
their attitude toward the Mexican gov
ernment dlu not interest the American
portion of the audience so much as did
the question of giving the men fair
show.
The lawyers for the defense expressed
their Willingness yesterday to permit
their clients to go to ST. Louis to answer
any charge against them, but they claim
the alleged libel of Col. Greene is only
trumped up charge to hold the men in
jail.
1t is said the men when arrested
thought they were being kidnapped to be
taken to Mexico. When they were car
ried away in the buggy they thought they
were going to the station to be put on a
train. This. it is said. accounts for the
yells from the prisoners as they were be-
ing driven along the street, appealing to
the people to protect them and save them
from the Mexican authorities.
Counsel for the defense claim the pris-
oners are willing to meet all charges
brought against them in the United
States, but they want to keep out of the
hands of the Mexican authorities, whom
they fear and at whose hands they ex-
pect little consideration.

A1OW that the huge cloche hat massed
" with roses, sweet peas, Annuncia-
4N ton lilies or rhododendrons might
almost be said to have disappeared into
the limbo of the past, the modern milli-
ner has been cudgeling her brains to dis
cover something sufficiently original to
prove satisfactory to those intent on
purchasing new headgear before the
golden days of summer are ended.
One of the most popular effects now
adays for afternoon wear abroad is the
huge model of black crinoline tilted up
on one side and trimmed with two giant
pompons in white and black placed side
by side, and supplemented witt long
wide quill in lovely peacock shades of
blue and green.
Another fashionable form of headgear
is the hat which is simply encircled with
a wide ruche of delicate black lace with
vivid cluster of bright apple-green pam
sizes with black centers nesting in the
lace on one side. Quantities of velvet
ribbon in every tone of color are en-
ployed, numbers of the hats being simply
decorated with loops and rosettes of
black velvet, with the introduction of
black and white wings to still further
accentuate the magpie effect.
For wear on the plaza or the sands,
even the Frenchwoman has realized that
the simple hat of white straw decorated
with a big bow of white lace hemmed
with silk is sufficient for most require
ments, so long as the weather permits
the white linen costume or little zephyr
frock to be worn with comfort and
there is no denying that this particular
form of headgear will be made to do duty
while the seaside season continues.
AS an accompaniment however, to the
travelling or early autumn costumes,
nothing is so popular as the little round
hat reminiscent of the old fashioned
pork pie and made with a somewhat
sloping brim, being carried out in a bril-
liant straw of a burnt orange tint and
designed in the finest make possible.
The trimming of this hat merely con-
sists of pair of mercury wings placed
on the outside of the brim in the center
of the front, lovely metallic shades Of
blue, green and bronze being worked into
it, while a narrow rope of dull green vel
vet is twisted round the hat, just appear
ing above the brim.
In spite of the rumor which appears to
have been circulated of late that the os-
trich feather had had it's day. it seems
destined to play a distinctive and impor-
tant part in all the new autumn schemes.
The richest shades of pansy purple, Bor-
deaux and green are chosen as the basis
of these plumes, which are, however
shaded at the tips in a variety of soft
deep tones, almost suggesting the
heather mixtures" of the popular home
spuns. These ombre feather will be great
ly in request during the autumn, and will
accompany the new mushroom hats in
soft felt

REVoLUTIoNIsTs, PATH
sTREWN WITH FLOWERS

When the Mexican revolutionists who
are charged with conspiring against the
Mexican government and the Diaz admin
istration entered the court room of de-
partment 8 OF the superior court yester-
day to hear the continuation of their
petitions for habeas, corpus. their path
was strewn with flowers.
Little Mexican girls had been waiting
In the hallway leading to the doors of
the courtroom since l o'clock.
A few minutes before 2 o'clock the ap-
pointed time set Monday for the contin-
uation of their case, the prisoners ap-
peared on the stairs of the third floor
of the court house building, well guarded
by band of deputies, two sergeants and
a lieutenant.
There were twice as many Mexican
sympathizers present yesterday as on last
Monday, and when they saw Villareal.
whom they recognize as the leader of
the revolutionary movement. their en-
thusiasm knew no bounds. They shouted
repeatedly "Vivas" and applauded till
the whole building resounded with echo
ing.
Welcomed with Smiles
The little girls, of whom there were
fifteen and all dressed in white, went be-
fore the approaching prisoners and threw
flowers in their path. Overcome with
emotion the latter smiled and wept in
turn. The demonstration was more than
they expected.
1t was thought by all present that yes
terdays proceedings would end the case
and settle once for all the fate of the
alleged conspirators. That was the cause
of the greater crowd and the more Wig
liant guarding of the men in custody.
All afternoon yesterday was taken up
H., - o,..tx.o of JAfn
with arguments and the citation of au-
thorities so that little was done in the
way of telling features of the case bear
ing either for or against the issuing of
the writs.
The legal fight was carried on till the
monotony of it began to tell on the
crowd, which was gro ing restless listen
ing to what they could not understand
Time went on and before its fight was
realized by the judge it was nearly 6
o'clock
About o'clock Magon was put on the
stand but not thing, save his name,
was asked of him. The attorneys in the
case were arguing over technicalities.
About o'clock the judge found it pos
sble to interrupt the flow of argumenta-
tion and citation of authorities and ad-
iourned the proceedings, The attorneys
asked If it were possible to continue
the case again today Realizing the anxi-
ETY. of all Interested, Judge Wilbur said
he would hear the case again this after
noon at A o'clock, when half an hour
will be granted to the attorneys OF both
sides of the case TO present their final
arguments to the court
II Is probable that today's session will
determine what fate will be meted out
to the three prisoners.

NEEDLES MINE OWNER
TURNED OVER TO FRIENDS
M. n. SHARP WILL GO TO PRIVATE
sANlTARIUM
Friends Intercede In Behalf of Alleged
Insane Man and Manage to
Have Complaint Dis
charged

M. H. Sharp, who was declared insane
by a commission in the lunacy court last
week. and who demanded jury trial,
which was to have taken place yesterday
before Judge Wilbur, will escape the in
sane asylum.
sympathetic friends pleaded with the
district attorneys office during the last
few days to have Sharp transmitted to a
private sanitarium. At the time Deputy
District Attorney Hammond said he
would consider the matter.
Sharp's record at the county hospital
was looked up and it was found that
he had improved considerably in the short
time he has been confined at that insti-
tuition.
When his case was called yesterday
Judge Wilbur asked Sharp how he felt,
and the latter stated that he felt much
better. Other questions were asked to
test his sanity, which demanded bit of
reasoning on his part. Sharp answered
all well.
Finally Deputy District Attorney Ham
mond moved that he be discharged, pro-
viding that his friends see that he is
attended to and treated in a private
sanitarium.
Those who are interesting themselves
in Sharps behalf promised the judge
that they would comply with any order
he might suggest in this particular. So
it was ordered that he be sent to pri-
vate asylum under the care Of friends
until he was well.
Sharp seemed well satisfied with this
turn of affairs and promised to do as his
friends requested. Most of the latter are
prominent men of San Bernardino.
Sharp, who at first was somewhat reti-
cent of his affairs, has finally given out
that he controls considerable mining in
terests about Needles. This assertion of
his was borne out yesterday by his
friends, who claim that he is well
fixed"

THE REoRGANlzED NEW YORK
LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

The new Board of Trustees of the
New York Life Insurance Company,
chosen by the policyholders under the
Armstrong laws, has taken charge of
the company's affairs and has begun
the work of reorganization.
In choosing the principal officers &C
the company, the Board has adhered
to the idea that a life insurance COM
pany should be managed by life in
surance men. The new president is
Darwin P. Kingsley, a college bred
man of good New England stock, who
has been in the company's service in a
variety of capacities for a period of
nearly twenty years. In the parlance
of life insurance, he began with the
rate book" and has advanced step by
step up to his present position.
The first vice president of the COM
pany is Thomas A. Buckner, who has
served the company for more than a
quarter of a century,-indeed has
never had any other business connec-
ton.
Associated with these men are
others long trained in the company's
service, each an expert in his own de-
partment of work. VIM. E. Ingersoll,
who has for many years had charge
of the company's great business in
Europe, is one of the second vice pres
idents, and will continue at the head
of the company's Office in Paris.
Rufus w. Weeks. who has been in
the company's service for nearly forty
years, ranks next to Mr.. Buckner as
vice president, and continuous as chief
actuary of the company.
The policyholders have expressed
| their belief in this company in no un-
certain terms. The upheaval in life in
surance within the last two years has
resulted in a great deal of misunder-
standing and policyholders, alarmed on
matters which were not very clear to
them, have been disposed to give up
their contracts at a heavy sacrifice.
This has not been true in the New York
Life to any great extent. The com
pany had $4,000 100000 insurance on
it's books when the life insurance in
vestigation began, and while the laws
of the State of New York now do not
permit any company to write over
$150,00O,000 year (Which is about
one-half the New York Life formerly
did, the company's outstanding busi-
ness still exceeds 81, 900, 900 900.
Policyholders generally will be still
further treasured by this action of the
Board, as it places at the head of the
company to protect their interests men
of thorough training and unexception.
able character.
