MEXICAN PRISONERS
MUST STAY IN JAIL
SUPREME COURT REFUSES TO
ADMIT THEM TO BAIL
Application for Release on Writ OF
Habeas Corpus Will Be Heard In
Washington, D. c., Early in
January

Word has been received from Wash
ington, d. c.. that the United States
supreme court has denied the appli-
cation for release on bail of Ricardo
Flores, Magon, Antonio Villareal and
Iibrado Rivera, the alleged Mexican
revolutionists now incarcerated in the
Los Angeles county jail. The matter
was called up yesterday on the appli-
cation of the Los Angeles attorneys for
the imprisoned men, Job Hartman and
A. r. HolSton.
Pending the decision by the United
States supreme court application had
been made to Judge Wellborn for the
release of the men on writ OF habeaS
corpus but had been refused, the local
court deciding that it had no jurisdic-
ton in the matter.
The result of the decision reached in
washington is that the accused
will remain in jail until January 4, 1SVS,
the date set for the hearing by the
supreme court of their application for
liberation on a writ of habeas corpus.
The charge on which the prisoners
are now held is that of violation or the
neutrality laws by having melted the
formation of a filbustering expedition
from Arizona against the republic or
Mexico, this charge having been sub.
stituted for several accusations or
minor import that had been previously
made.
The accused are resisting extradition
to Arizona and have maintained
throughout that. if sent there, they
would be in danger of being struggled
across the border into Mexico, where
their lives would be almost certainly
forfeited.
They have now been in jail some
fifteen months and have for long
time past been kept incommunicado.
This prolonged detention and the cir
cumstances attending it have excited
much Indignation in many quarters
and notably in the ranks of organized
labor, which has subscribed extensively
for the defense

R.IIsuue HoanItaI Robbed

NEW YORK, Nov. ia mysterious
thief, presumably working from inside,
has made away with more than $1,000
worth of jewelry and clothing in Belle
vue hospital, this city. The police
have been appealed to, and two detec-
tives spent several days in the institu-
ton without success. The first theft
occurred about a month ago and has
been followed with amazing rapidity by
other depredations. A diamond ring, a
watch, a valuable microscope and a
score of articles of clothing are
missing.
