SAY NEGRO PATR0LMEN
MADE SPITEWORK RAID
Councilman Lyon Backs Afro-Ameri-
can Council Men in Another At
tempt to Punish Raiding
Officers

Councilman Henry Lyon will renew
his attempt to have Patrolmen w. w.
Glenn and William La Stevens, the ne
gro attaches on Police Chief Ed Kern S
staff, dropped this time because they
raided Hotel Morton on Ruth avenue,
a hostelry patronized by the elite of
Afro-American society.
State Organizer G. w. Whitley of
the Afro-American Council says Glenn
and Stevens are prosecuting the ele-
ment favorable to the council in the
interest of another faction among
colored people and the raid is one of
a series of prosecutions along that
line. Lyon corroborates this charge.
The two patrolmen are the same
department employees who were re-
Gently tried and acquitted by the po-
lice board on the charge of entering
the rooms of the Afro-American coun-
Gil while the members were in secret
session and dragging out e. E. Jones
as a suspect in robbery case.
The officers raided the Morton os-
tensibly to get at dice players, but
Whitley and others say no dice game
was going on that night. and that in
nocent persons were dragged from
their beds. The guests play dice oc-
casionally, it is admitted, for amuse-
ment, but not for stakes.
Lyons home is near the Morton and
he has been besieged by the Afro
American factionists to see they get
square deal.

WORK ON ROADWAYS
NOW NEAR AN END
TOTAL OF $4,000 EXPENDED TO
AID MEN OF FAMILIES
Supervisors Say Vast improvement
Has Been Wrought-Fine New
Road Constructed in
Laurel Canyon

Saturday night will see the end of the
work on the county roads provided in
order to help the heads of families dur
ing the lull in demands for labor. A
total of $1,000 of the SIT 900 allowed by
the county for the general road fund
will have been expended by that time,
thus leaving only $4,000 in that fund
This does not include money spent for
work at the county hospital, where $4,000
has been expended in the building of
retaining wall and other work.
The supervisors say the money has
been well spent, and while the road
work has not yet been completed. q
vast Improvement has been made. This
is especially true in regard to the work
in Laurel canyon, where mile and a
half of road has been constructed and
great deal of repair work has been
done. The entire board, it is expected,
will make an inspection of the road
work next week.
Altogether 500 men have been en-
ployed in the road building. These have
been sent out in relays of $50, this
number working week and being re-
lieved by a like number the following
week, thus giving work to a larger
number than If one gang was employed
steadily.
Fifty men have been employed at the
county hospital, where the work is ex-
pected to be ended within short time.

WHOLESALE CHICKEN
THIEF rs SHOT BY AN
AUTOMATIC DEVICE
Downey Man Inserts Advertisement to
Learn Name Of Physician Who
Attended Wounded Mid
night Marauder

Wanted: The name of the physician
who treated a man whose left foot was
filled with birdshot."
This is the advertisement published
yesterday by Downey poultry raiser,
and he hopes in this way to discover
the identity of the man who has been
systematically stealing his chickens.
The Downey man was at the sheriff
office yesterday and complained that for
some weeks past his most priced fowls
have disappeared at the rate of sixty at
a. time. The last batch numbered sew
enty, and he determined to lay a trap.
This was in the form of a we'll loaded
shotgun with an innocent-looking string
tied to the trigger
Congratulating himself on his in
genuity in the installation of machine
that would make every man his own
captor, the Downey man retired, but
was awakened about midnight, together
with the rest of the neighborhood.
In the morning he found a trail Of
blood from the chicken house to the dry
bed of an irrigation ditch. Here the
trail turned obliquely and ended where
the wheel tracks of motorcycle began.
These tracks led toward Los Angeles
and the Downey man says 1t is now up
to the sleuths Of this city to carry on
the investigation.

MAN ACCUSED OF AUTO THEFT
RENoUNcEs CONFESSION
Companion Is Found Guilty, but Court
Holds That discriminating State
nents Made in Fear Are
Worthless

A jury in Judge Smiths court yes
terday returned verdict of guilty in
the trial of James Mcfarland, 20 years
old, charged with burglary.
Joseph Leinen, who was arrested on
the same charge, was discharged, wit
nesses testifying that police officers had
threatened in their presence to place
him in the sweat box in order to make
him confess.
The court ruled that the incriminat-
ing statements made by him at the time
could not be placed in evidence, and as
this was the testimony on which the
prosecution relied to make out case
against Leinen the charge against him
was dismissed.
Both men are said to have entered the
garage of w. e. Everhardy December
21 last and to have taken an automo-
bile valued at $4,000. The machine broke
down near Fullerton and was aban-
doned, the men returning to Los Ange-
les by car from Santa Ana.
A confession said to have been made
to the arresting officers by Mcfarland
was used against him, and Leinen also
said on the stand that they had taken
the machine but meant to return it,
Mcfarland will be sentenced Tues
day. He was serving probationary
sentence imposed in 1902 at the time the
automobile was taken. Other charges
are said to be pending against both
men,
