DIR. OWENS LETTERS
READ IN COURT
BONDS ARE NOT REDUCED FOR
PHYSICIAN
First Hearing Of Evans Suit Is Devoid
of Observation-Disclosures Must
Stand Trial In Supe-
rior Court

DIR. ]. B. Owens was arraigned Tor
preliminary hearing before Justice Smith
yesterday and held to trial In the su-
perior court on two charges of attempt
ing to extort money from ]. Whyte
Evans by means of threatening letters.
Nothing startling was developed In the
examination, which was purely or a Tor
NAL nature. Two of the letters were in
troduced in evidence, after having been
identified by the complaining witness.
Evans testified he had received the let
ters by mail, and that he believed them
to be in the handwriting of the defendant.
The damaging evidence is said to be in
the sentence: "If you are so proud or the
end you achieved so must you be proud
Of the time you served" BY the latter
clause of the sentence it is supposed the
writer referred to term in the state
prison at San Quentin, which evans Is
said to have served.
In the same letter was a demand for
the immediate payment of $61s3.2O, which
the defendant Gains is owed to him by
Evans.
On the second charge, letter was read,
in which Owens is said to describe how
Evans blushed Wien he denied to the
naturalization officers that he was an
ex-convict
With the reading of the letters the pros
ecution rested. and the court held that
the bonds should remain at $1,000 on each
of the two charges.

EDITOR DE LARA IN JAIL WITH
MACON
Charge of Robbery Does Not Contain
Amount or Place or Victim
of Theft-No Bail
Allowed

L. Gutierrez de Lara, a member of the
alleged junta of Mexican revolutionists
operating in Los Angeles, was arrested
yesterday on an obscure and indefinite
charge.
De Lara was the editor for Ricardo
Flores Magon of the alleged revolutionary
sheet known as Revolution, published In
Los Angeles. The Mexican consul IN Los
Angeles received instructions to nave lie
Lara arrested, and the complaint was
aIed Yesterday. It charges the Mexican
editor with robbery committed In Mexico
The place where the alleged crime was
committed was not mentioned, the amount
of money stolen was not stated In the
complaint and the name of the person
against whom the crime was committed
was omitted. The authorities ADMITTED
the complaint and the Mexican VIII Dc
held for forty days, the time allowed Tor
foreign governments to prove charges ror
which they demand extradition.
Attorney for the Mexican prisoners, Job
Hartman, said last night: This Is only
another step in the persecution OF the
group of Mexicans who have been oppos-
ing the policy of the present adminlstra-
ton in Mexico"
Friends of the Mexicans say the charge
against De Lara, like those against the
other two prisoners, Magon and Villareal,
are trumped up and cannot be proved.
They say the real offense Tor wnlcn tne
Mexicans are wanted is criticism of the
present administration of Mexico. This
offense is not recognized by the United
States as extraditable.
The prisoners say that to call Mexico a
republic as mockery, and what they
want is a free ballot in fact as we'll as IN
name. They claim that freedom OF the
press is not tolerated in Mexico, and any
criticism of government officials Is not
permitted by the Mexican government:
ne Lara is a novelist and has written
several books. He is educated. man
of the upper class. and was a practicing
LAWYER in Mexico before he was forced to
leave. He is graduate of the law school
of the city of Mexico. No ball was al
lowed and he must remain in jail along
with Magon and Villareal.

LODGING HOUSE MEN
SEEK AMENDMENT S
SANITARY AND VENTILATION
CLAUSES TOO STRICT
Ask Council to Change Ordinance "In
Order to Save Reconstruction, Yet
Provide All That Is
Necessary"

Loding house keepers have asked the
city to amend ordinance No. 1891 new
series, relative to lodging houses in the
following particulars:
Amend section 10 so as to read:
Section 10. 1t shall be the duty of
every person, firm or corporation owning,
leasing, acting as agent for, conducting,
operating, controlling or managing any
tenement house. lodging house. boarding
house or hotel to provide or cause to be
provided for the accommodation and use
of tenants, dodgers, boarders and inmates
of such building one or more water clos
cts for each three families; or one or more
water closets for each fifteen persons oc-
cupying such building, II occupied by both
male and female dodgers; or one or more
water closets for every twenty-five per-
sons where occupied by male lodgers only;
and 1t shall be unlawful for any such
person, firm or corporation to fail or re-
fuse to provide such water closets"
Also to amend section Is of such ordi-
nance to read as follows:
Section is. Whenever possible, every
sleeping room in any tenement house,
lodging house or hotel shall have one or
more windows opening directly upon the
street, yard or open court, which window
or windows shall have a moveable sash
and shall have an area at least one-tenth
as great as that of the room, or such
room shall have other ventilation equiva-
lent thereto. In every tenement house,
lodging house or hotel, every sleeping
room not opening directly upon street,
yard or open court shall have one or more
ventilating transoms or windows with an
area of not less than four square feet in
the aggregate, which transoms or WIN
dows shall have removable sashes or
Stats placed in such manner as to pro-
vide fresh air to the interior of such room,
or such room shall have equivalent means
of ventilation"
The owners request these amendments
on the ground that the same will pro-
vide all that is necessary, and will at the
same time dispense with the necessity OF
extensive reconstruction of lodging houses
already built.

ADVENTISTS DECRY MOVE
FOR SUNDAY CLOSING
FILE PETITION WITH THE CITY
CLERK
Document Declares DecaIogue Conn.,
mands Observance of Seventh Day
as Sabbath-object to Religious
Significance of Appeals

Adventists filed bulky petition Thurs
day with City Clerk Harry Lelande 70
the council, protesting against the enact
ing of any legislation closing theaters O.
Sunday.
The preamble recites
Petitions having been circulated
wherein your honorable body is asked
to adopt an ordinance fixing as a day
of rest the first day of the week, COM
monty called Sunday, we would re-
spectfully represent that we are resi-
dents and citizens of Los Angeles, and
that we are conscientiously observing
the seventh day of the week as the
Sabbath, in obedience to the fourth
commandment of the decalogue.
While the petitions which will doubt
less be presented to your notice pur-
port to have been drawn for the pro-
lection of actors and employees of
playhouses and theaters, there is
principle involved in the issue far
transcending the interests of any class
or guild of citizens, and 1t Is upon that
principle that we respectfully petition
your honorable body not to enact any
legislation that will confer upon any
day of the week any religious signifi-
cance.
We hold to the self-evident fact that
all men are created equal; that they
are endowed by their Creator with GER
tain inalienable rights, and that all
are equally entitled to the free exer-
else of religion, according to the die
tates of their conscience. This great
truth was clearly recognized in the
constitutional provision that congress
shall make no law respecting an es-
tablishment of religion or prohibiting
the free exercise thereof.
The concurrent testimony Of both
church and state history proves that
universally where either municipal or
state laws discriminate in favor of a
religious institution for one class of
citizens, eventually the class, although
conscientious Christians. who do not
sacredly regard such rengious institu-
tions are made to suffer persecution in
some form That there is a religious
motive in the minds of those who are
seeking restrictive legislation at this
time from your honorable body is APP
parent from the fact that in the pro-
fessed solicitude for the welfare of
actors and employees Of theaters they
have been particular to specify that
the day to be fixed by ordinance as a
day of physical and mental repose
shall be 'the first day of the week,
commonly called Sunday"

Mrs. Rosa Nunez, Garcia or Lopez APP
peared before Judge Wilbur yesterday in

Mrs. Nunez, under which name she was
summoned, lives in Wilmington. She tes-
titled she was deserted by her husband.
Joe Garcia, many years ago; she could
not tell how many. After he left, Juan
Nunez lived with her fourteen years. and
he too, tired of the burden on July 4.
Since then Manuel Lopez has been
elected spouse, and Mrs. Nunez admitted
to the court that without the formality
of either divorce or marriage she was still
living with him.
On the witness stand the defendant de-
MED any wrong doing, and when she was
asked delicate question would reply in
very good English that there were some
of the words she could not understand.

Wilbur.

the ready reply.
The witness replied to further ques-

live with their father, Joe Garcia, at San
Bernardino; the oldest was "a.
She admitted being only SS years of age.
Juan Nunez was then called to the
stand. He told substantially the same
story about his relations with the woman,
and of his leaving her in July. when she
became infatuated with Lopez.
How many children did she have when
you went to live with her." asked the
court.
Seven was the reply. "She got four
teen now" the witness volunteered.
(which of these children are yours?'
II don't know" he replied, with a shrug
of his shoulders and deprecatory wave
of his hand.
Officers Reynolds and Breen testified to
finding the children in the street in q
filthy condition and nearly nude.
How many are there asked Judge
Wilbur. as he looked toward where the
little tots were playing. entirely oblivious

Reynolds, but one got away. so there

The woman was questioned regarding

she had to guess at the dates OF their
birth. After considerable parleying the
court ordered five of the older children
to be sent to the home of the Guardian
Angels, where Nunez will pay SO monthly
for their support. The others went home
with their mother, who seemed relieved
that her burden was lightened.
