HAVE BEEN VOTING IN
VIOLATION OF LAW
Difference of Statute from Those of
other States Gives Rise to
Confusion on Part of
Late Arrivals

Laws of twelve states in the Union
allow foreigners who have taken out
their first papers to vote and TO serve
upon juries, but the statutes of Cali
fornia provide that a person must have
taken out second papers before he is
allowed to perform either of these du-
ties, and this difference in the laws
has raised a question of the legality of
the voters franchise in the past and
especially concerning the verdicts re-
turned by juries On which such per
sons may have served.
The states in which men are permit
ted to exercise all the duties of citizen
ship after securing first papers are Ala
bama, arizona, Arkansas, Indiana,
Kansas, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska,
Oregon, South Dakota and Wisconsin,
and new arrivals from those states, it
was discovered Yesterday, had cast
their ballots and served as jurors with
out a thought that their actions were
not in accordance with the law. These
facts were discovered yesterday at the
court house, when several men applied
for second papers, and as a result a
fine point of law has been raised which
it is believed attorneys will not be slow
to take advantage of in the trial of
cases before juries.

NEW TRIAL DENIED
FORMER CORONER
He WILL NOW ARGUE FOR
ARREST OF JUDGMENT
Contention viii Be Made That Alleged
False Claim Did Not Contain
the Official Title of
Lanterman

The motion for a new trial for r. S.
Lanterman, former coroner of Los An
geles county, who was found guilty last
week on a charge of rendering false
statements of expenses to the county
during his term of Office, was yester-
day denied by Judge Conrey and Fri
day at II o'clock was fixed as the time
to hear arguments on an arrest of judg-
ment, on the ground that the indict-
ment returned against Lanterman by
the grand jury does not conform with
certain provisions of the penal code.
The point on which the attorneys for
Lanterman will seek to have the whole
case reopened Is that the alleged false
claim submitted to the board of super
visors by Lanterman did not contain
the official title of coroner at the time
of it's submission, but was added later
in lead pencil writing, and that when
the claim was presented 1t should have
been regarded as a demand presented
by a person not entitled to the amount
called for. Although this question was
argued during the trial and an objec-
ton made to the introduction of the
claim as evidence Judge ]. w. McKin-
ley, one of Lantermans counsel, told
the court he wished to present further
authorities on the subject, and the dis
trict attorney interposing no objection
the request was granted. Should Judge
Conrey rule adversely to the conten-
tion of the defense the next step, it Is
said, will be an application for proba-
tion or an appeal, the latter action, it
was stated yesterday, being the most
probable.
Lanterman was accompanied to the
court room by his wife and one son,
while a number of other relatives and
friends sat near him. Mrs. Lanterman,
unable to understand the legal phrase
ology of the proceedings, did not realize
for some time after the courts decision
was rendered that the motion for an
other trial had been denied, and when
she was informed of this fact she
burst into tears. She was comforted
by her husband who smiled cheerily
although it could be noticed he was
himself greatly disturbed in mind. No
| application for bail was made by Lam
terman's attorneys, and he will remain
in the county Jail until he again comes
| into court on Friday.

Isaiah n. Smith Finally Agrees to Dis

for Fraction of Rich
Estate

Tsiah H. Smith. the painter. who
married Mrs. Andrew w. Keating,
widow of the founder of the rich Keat-
ing estate, was yesterday made richer
by $75, 900 through an order of Judge
Rives of the probate division of the
superior court, the trustees of the es-
tate being authorized by the court to
compromise with Smith for that
amount.
Smith agreed, in return for this con-
cession, to discontinue his contest for
the widowers share in the estate in
California and British Columbia, re-
tanning, however, an interest in large
properties in Chile, Alaska and Col
orado.
The trustees of the estate yesterday
testified that the compromise would
mean a saving of $50 900 to the estate
should the supreme court render de-
cision favorable to Smith, who, by that
decision, would receive $125,000. The
case was before the supreme court on
appeal from a decision of the lower
court. which sustained Smiths claim
to his wife's property.
Smith, in payment for his withdraw
al, will be $4,000 richer in money.
