Daniel Mesl1il, convicted murderer OF
Patrick H. Lyons, who was sentenced
to be hanged by the late Judge Smith,
may never mount the gallows at san
Quentin. He is said to be in the last
stages of consumption. and If brought
to Los Angeles to be re-sentenced AFTER
the refusal of the supreme court to al

Meskil about three months ago tried
to kill himself by jumping from
veranda roof at the state prison. AS
result of the injuries then sustained he
has undergone two operations, the sur
geons amputating one leg a few weeks
after Meskils attempt and finding II
necessary, as gangrene set in to
shorten the leg still further.
Notwithstanding his weakened con-
dition Meskil is still regarded as a
dangerous man. For this reason no
crutches are allowed him, the officials
fearing he may assault other inmates
of the prison.

Distilled Water Is the Only
Pure Water
Distillation Absolutely Changes
the Character of the Water and
Rids 1t of All Impurities

Distilled water is the only pure wa
ter-the only water that is reliable and
safe for drinking purposes.
Simply speaking, distilled Water is
condensed steam. The water from
which it is produced is turned into
steam and this steam is recondensed
into water
During the process of distillation all
impurities are released from the wa
ter-they cannot exist in pure steam.
In our experience of many years IN
distilling Puritas Distilled Water we
have found it necessary to put the wa
ter through distillation process twice
in order to insure its absolute purity.
Thus Puritas is twice distilled
turned into steam twice before being
recondensed into water.
Many distilled waters are hat. In the
process of distillation the air which is
naturally in the water is driven away
from it.
But Puritas Distilled Water is thor
oughly aerated. BY means of an cleo
trical apparatus we are able to pass a
current of electricity through the puri-
fed water. This forms pure ozone,
and we force this pure ozone into the
distilled water, giving it as much as
it will take up.
The result is sparkling, refreshing,
wholesome drinking water--Puritas
Distilled Water. And Puritas is the
only reliably pure drinking water OBJ
tainable hereabouts.
You ought to make it point to drink
Puritas-have a supply of it constantly
on hand 1t is most inexpensive-five
gallons cost but 40 cents. Just tele-
phone us. Exchange s, either telephone,
and we will see that you are supplied

REFUGEES DEFENSE LEAGUE
WILL NOT HELP MExICANS
Four Men Long Held in Los Angeles
Jail Must Wait Till Precedent Is
Established in Extradtion
Matters

CHICAGO, Dec. 30.-The Political
Refugee Defense league refused last
night to consider the case of Christian
Dudowitz as already won, so has
turned down the proposition made by
John Murray of Tucson, Ariz., who
asked the organization to champion
the cause of the four Mexicans held IN
jail at Los Angeles. 1t was agreed
that Rudowitz must be saved first IN
order to establish a precedent in ex-
tradition matters.
Mr. Murray in making his plea said.
About ten years ago these men at
tempted TO put a reform organization
into power in Mexico, and failed. Some
of the leaders were shot and others
fled to the United States.
1.-TWO subsequent attempts of the
party failed and they were all driven
out They have now been in jail four
teen months waiting trial.
mo less than 40 of these refugees
have been returned to Mexico in all.
1t was first charged that they mur-
dered persons, whose names were not
given. Now the charge against the
four is that they have violated the
neutrality laws.
'"They ought not to be sent back TO
a country where 100000 persons are
sold annually to the plantations as

RULES THAT VISIT MUST
NOT EXCEED ONE MONTH
Defendant Maintains He Was His
Brothers Guest, but Justice Pierce
Holds Welcome Was Long
Outstayed

At what time visit should terminate
and charge for board begin is a Dues
ton that has been decided by Justice
Pierce, who rendered decision yes
terday in favor of Charles M. Kniebe,
plaintiff in a suit against his brother,
Henry Kniebe, for board and lodging.
Henry Kniebe stayed at his brothers
home four months. When he was asked
to pay for his keep he refused, claim
ing he was merely guest. Then
Charles NJ. Kniebe placed the matter
in the hands of a collection agency,
which brought suit against Henry for
$50. or at the rate of $50 month.
Again Henry repeated his assertion,
this time to the justice, that he was
q visitor at his brothers home, and
board money should not be demanded.
Justice Pierce took another view, how
ever. He believed there should be a
limit to the length of visit. This he
fixed at one month and judgment for
500 or three months board and lodg-
ing, was rendered in favor of plaintiff
