RETURNS TO HUSBAND
UNDER POLICE GUARD
DEMANDS PROTECTION FROM
HER LOVER
Woman Placed on Train Bound for
EIeln, H., Under Escort of
Detectives Detailed to
Shield Her

Fearful that the man with whom
she has been living would carry out
his threats to kill her, Susan Koeteles,
at her own request, was detained at po
lice Headquarters yesterday. Later in
the company of detectives she was
placed on board a Salt Lake train for
Elgin, ILL.,, the home of her parents and
husband.
Susan Koeteles came to Los Angeles
a year ago after deserving her hus-
band in Elgin. She brought her child of
a year with her She looked forward
to a new life and a happier. one, but
her experience in this city proved quite
the reverse. She became acquainted
with a man named Bischi, and together
they lived at 739 Central avenue.
From that time to the present mis-
fortune has followed her. A few weeks
ago her child was scalded to death.
The woman was giving the baby a
bath and left it in the tub with the
gas Jets turned on. while her attention
was called to something else. When
she returned the child was beyond re-
coVery.
Then she began having trouble with
Bischi, and his rough treatment and
constant threats to do her violence
put her in fear of her life. She placed
herself under police protection and last
week a letter from home indicated her
future course.
When Bischi heard that she was go
ing to return to her home he was furi-
Gus, and up to the last moment she
was guarded by detectives. 1t is prob
able that she will rejoin her husband.

to smile.

LIBERAL ALLIANCE
PLEADS FOR MERCY
SWUNG BANNERS IN SIMPLE
IGNORANCE
Declares That His Organization
Did Not Know 1t Was Vic.
Iating Any Ordinance

We didn't know we were violating
the law when we hung our banners
across the city streets. We ask that
they be left where we put them, and
that you will consider our innocence
and let US know your decision at some
future time"
This was the plaintive plea of Charles
Saddler, who appeared before the board
of public works to represent the Lib
eral alliance yesterday morning.
Last week the Liberal alliance applied
to the board of public works for a per-
init TO hang from the city hall tower
banner advertising picnic to be given
by the organization at Chutes park in
August. The board has adopted the
policy of permitting no banners to
swing from the city hall, and the re-
quest was promptly and emphatically
refused. The representative of the Lib
eral alliance was told, however, that
there would be no objection to swing
sn a banner across the street at
Chutes park, where the picnic is to be
held.
without needing the denial, banner
was swung from the city hall tower,
and the board Immediately ordered the
janitor to cut 1t down.
Not only was the banner flung to the
breeze in this especially forbidden
place, but banners were hung across
all the principal business streets from
many prominent points.
The board of public works ordered the
police to remove these banners, which
was not done, the police department
fearing the wrath of the Royal Arch,
with which the Liberal alliance is af-
filiated. Officers of the alliance were
cited to appear before the board and
show cause why they should not be
severely dealt with for violating the
ordinance prohibiting banners across
the street, except by permits issued by
the board of public works.
The officers of the alliance refused TO
comply with the order of the board TO
appear, until assured 1t really meant
business. Only then was Charles sad
dler sent up, yesterday morning TO
make a plea for the alliance.
He declared his organization was not
familiar with the ordinance concerning
banners, although Mr.. Saddler, VINO is
a director in the organization, was
member of the police commission DUR
ing the McAleer administration ana
supposedly familiar with police regu-
lations, among which the banner ordi-
nance is classed. He also said the BAN
ner from the city hall was swung IN
advertently by the men employed by
the alliance. The city hall banner, he
admitted, was a serious mistake, but 1t
was only a mistake, and the board
should not deal harshly with the allt-
ance because of it.
The board took his plea under con-
sideration, but the members spent just
about three seconds, after the routine
business of the morning, in deciding
that all banners of the Liberal aln-
ance must come down.

PECK FILES SUIT.
AGAINST CARLSON
OWNER OF REDOND0 LAND
TIRES. OF DELAY
Deposition in Consolidated Bank Writes
PltlfuI Letter to Assistant Prose-
cutor-Loses All Her
Money

The Los Angeles Securities company
and William H. Carlson are defendants
in a second suit filed in the superior
court yesterday by George II. Peck,
who seeks to recover possession of
tract of eighty acres at Redondo,
which has been held by the defendants
under contract. The first suit filed by
Peck was to recover 300 acres. The
amounts involved in both suits Will
aggregate $150,00O.
The land in question has been sub
divided by Carlson. Some time ago
Peck and other original owners sought
to form a trusteeship, but owing to
disagreement upon conditions, failed
to do so.
Yesterday, about the time the sec
ond suit was filed, Carlson deposited
the deeds which had been demanded of
him with the Title Guarantee and Trust
company. He stated he Is confident
that the trust agreement will be signed
and that matters will be satisfactorily
arranged.
In regard to the affairs of the Con-
solidated bank he said he expected they
would be settled within the next thirty
days and stated that 80 per cent of the
depositors had turned their accounts
over to him.
Guy w. Eddy, assistant city prosecu-
tor, yesterday received a pitiful letter
from a depositor in the Consolidated
bank. The letter follows:

corning the condition of the CONSOLIDATE
ed Bank of Los Angeles. 1 have been

start, shall lose my mind or raise my
voice in warning to the people of this
country against the business methods
of California, which has become the
robber state of the union.
"Mr. Eddy, please let me know the
worst. L have no one else l could
write to for information and no one
here can give me any. have written
to the Consolidated bank and to the
receiver but have had no reply and am
almost crazed with fear and horror of
what the future has in store for me.
I cannot go down there because l have
no money. I have not one dollar be-
tween me and poverty today. Please,
sir, let me know something of what
may expect from those who have so
heartlessly defrauded and betrayed
public confidence.

Woman Sues FraternaI Order, Alleging
She Was Entitled to Benefit.
Court Rules Against
Her

When her demurrer to the councils
answer was overruled by Judge Conrey
yesterday, Mrs. Stella Williams, who
sought to secure $44.04 from Manitou
council of the Degree of Pocahontas,
which she claimed was due her because
she was incapacitated for twelve weeks
as the result of fall in which she sus-
tainen a fractured elbow, announced
that she would drop the suit.
SThe councils answer, to which the
demurrer was entered. was to the eff
feet that Mrs. Williams was not
member in good standing at the time
of the accident, and therefore was not
entitled to any benefits.
Mrs. Williams claimed that she
should have received three fathoms
and fifty inches of wampum' for each
of the twelve weeks.
The suit resulted In Mrs. Williams
having to use a few fathoms of her
own wampum to pay the court costs.
