HOLD SECRET CONFERENCE
WITH FEDERAL PRISONERS
United States Officials Engage In
Mysterious Session with Some
inmates of County
Jail

A number of federal prisoners now
being held at the county Jail have,
during the past two days, been called
before federal authorities in a secret
investigation, the nature of which has
not as yet been disclosed, the federal
authorities refusing to discuss the
matter.
Yesterday United Sttaes deputies
took two patches of prisoners to the
Tajo building, where they were ques-
toned at length, and on Thursday the
three Mexicans-Magon Riviera and
Villareal-alleged revolutionists, were
taken before Oscar Lawler, United
States district attorney, and interro-
gated.
1t was said yesterday that the men
being held in the county institution
by the government have of late been
complaining bitterly regarding their
food, and. while nothing definite in
that connection could be learned, Sher-
iff Hammel volunteered the statement
that any person was welcome to go
into the jail at any time and investi-
gate conditions. Thirty-five cents a
day, said the sheriff, is allowed him
by the government for feeding federal
prisoners and eight cents a meal for
county prisoners.
Nothing has been said to me by
the federal authorities concerning this
matter" said the sheriff

Leads most intelligent people to use only
med19ines OF known composition. There
fore Il is THAI DR.. Pierce's medicines, the
makefSt q which print every ingredient
entering lnAo them upon the bottle wrap
pers and ATTEST its correctness under oath,
are daily greHing in favor. The COM
position Of Dkl Pierce's medicines Is open
TO everybody,NDr. Pierce being DESTROYS
OF having the Search lIGht Of inYestIga-
uQn turned fully upon his formula, being
c0nfldent that the better the conn QsItion
QI Ihese medicines Is known the more
will their great curative merits be recog-
nized. Being wholly made Of the active
medicinal principles extracted sfrom ma
tive forest roots, by exact processes
original with DR.. Pierce, and without the
use Of drop of alcohol, triple-refned and
chemically pure glycerine being used in
stead in extracting and preserving the
curative virtues residing in the roots
employed, these medicines are entirely
free from the objection of doing harm
by creating an appetite for either al
coholic beverages or habit forming
drugs. Examine the formula on their
bottle wrappers-the same as sworn to by
DIR. Pierce, and you will find that his
OOiOph NhOdASdA DlSCONbIy, bu0 great,
blood purifier, stomach tonic and bowel
regulator-the medicine which, while not
recommended to cure consumption in its
advanced stages mo medicine will do that
yet does cure all those catarrhal condi,
tions of head and throat, weak stomach,
torpid liver and bronchial troubles, weak
lungs and hang-on-coughs, which, If neg
lected or badly treated lead up to and
finally terminate in consumption.

you If only you give it a thorough and
fair trial. Don't expect miracles. 1t
won't do supernatural things. You must
exercise your patience and persevere in its
use for reasonable length of time to get
its full benefits. The ingredients Of which
DR.. Pierce's medicines are composed have
the unqualified endorsement Of scores of
medical leaders-better than any amount
of lay, or non-professional, testimonials.
They are not given away to be expert

Ill Health and Misfortune Wreck

PitiabIe Story from
Both Sides

Looking backward over more than
thirty wears of married life from the
vantage point of a witness chair IN
tbe superior court and with memories
of HAMPER days stirred by the pene-
trating questions of attorneys ana
court, an elderly couple yesterday tolu,
with emotional hesitancy, a story or
incompatibility which led to the
breaking UP of their little ranch home
near Hollywood and the filing of a
suit for divorce by the Wife ana
mother.
Thirty-one years ago John Brans-
com and his wife, Euroda, began their
married life on the 40-acre ranch. rive
children-three girls and two boys
were born to them and happily they
lived and loved until contentious,
brought about by poor health and
misfortune, entered the home and
changed affection into indifference and
strife.
Two years ago, according to the
wife. she and the three girls were
driven from the home and came to Los
Angeles, where the mother supported
herself and children by domestic work.
Later. said the mother, her husband,
by threats to send the youngest son,
then a boy Of Is years, to the reform
school, caused him also to leave the
old home.
'For a long time" said the mother,
.'the boy could find no work and wan
dered in his helpless youth through
byways and highways, living as best
he could For days he lived on fsh
caught by himself in the river. Only
a short time ago he secured a position,
and a few weeks ago gave me 81 with
which to buy shoes-the first pair
have had in two years"
Branscom, 62 years of age, with
shoulders bent by years of labor, said
he had offered his wife all kinds of
inducements to remain on the ranch
or provide a home for her near by.
ST offered to split the ranch, giving
her half; to provide her with home
some distance away, or to mortgage
the ranch for $500, she to pay the
mortgage and give me the money and
I leave the place. She has refused.
am willing to do almost anything to
effect a settlement except to give
large amount of money which 1 do not
possess"
The matter came before Judge James
in a suit for alimony pending suit
for divorce. The court ordered the
husband to pay the wife $40 a week
until August 10, the date set for the
trial of the divorce suit.

GETS TEN YEARS DESPITE
HIS INGENIOUS DEFENSE
John Lapique Sentenced for Obtaining
Money Under False Pretenses,
Long Series of Motions
Being OVerruled

Have you any further motions to
maker" asked Judge Jamison of John
Lapique, after the court had denied a
number presented by the man whose
versatility has excited much interest in
department one of the superior court.
Yes, l move an adjournment" re-
piled the prisoner.
This motion was also denied, and was
followed by the imposition of a sem
tence of ten years in the penitentiary.
Lapique was found guilty of obtain
ing money under false pretenses. He
was charged with selling lots belong
ing to Mr.. and Mrs. Richard Corcoran
without authorization. During the trial
he conducted his own case, and when
he appeared yesterday with motions
for a retrial his argument occupied
practically the entire afternoon session.
