Why the Los Angeles people, who are
considered above the average in intelli-
gence, do not interest themselves in
Wincenty Lutoslawski, the eminent
Polish reformer, friend of Madame
Modjeska and Ignace Paderewski, IS
unexplainable. Wincenty Lutoslawski
is one of the most distinguished
scholars of Europe, devout Catholic
student, an advocate of Hatha Yoga. a
Hindoo health doctrine and one of the
most talented of all the European
writer's; a man who has attracted a
great deal of attention among the
highest class of scholars and thinkers
in Boston and Cambridge, who came TO
this country to deliver a course of lee
lures in the Lowell institute on the
Polish nation and its struggle for free
dom, and who has been secured TO
open the New University course in this
city, and still the Los Angeles public
does not recognize the Importance or
hearing this clever man.
History is not really Prof. Lutos-
lawski's speciality, although he has rev
equals as historical scholar. he IS
one who understands clearly the phil
osophy of history and is apparently al
most as familiar with the history OF our
own country as he is of his own Poland,
where he is almost idoiized. He IS one
of the foremost authorities on the sub
ject of psychology. He Is gifted lin
guist, speaks twelve different languag rs
and is the greatest authority In the
world on Plato.
Prof. Lutoslawski believes there is to
be a great European war in the near
future, out of which Poland VIII emerge
as a republic once more; a war which
will mean the complete breakdown OF
the autocratic oppression of the Rus
sian and Austrian governments.
His subjects in this city will be "The
Polish Nation and It's Struggle for
Freedom 1.-THE Russian Crisis" and
the Inevitable and Imminent Euro
pean War;

HENDERSON
IS FREED
MURDER TRIAL COMES TO 4
CLOSE
CLAIM OF sELF-pEFENsE IS
SUSTAINED
Man Charged with Shooting Chauffeur
Discharged by a Jury in
the Superior
Court

Probably one of the shortest murder
trials on record in the county was con-
cluded yesterday when a jury in Judge
Smiths department of the superior
court returned verdict finding John
c. Henderson not guilty of the murder
of Oscar E. Otto on the night of Oc-
tober 10.
The trial began Monday morning at
10 o'clock and the last witness, the de-
PENDANT himself, concluded his testi-
mony at o'clock yesterday afternoon.
The contention of the defense was that
Henderson acted in self-defense, and
a number of witnesses were placed on
the stand to testify that Otto had at
different times threatened to kill Hem
derson, whom he suspected OF being
too intimate with Mrs. Otto.
The prosecution rested its case at
80 o'clock and the jury was excused
until o'clock, the court in the mean
time listening to arguments on a mo-
ton asking the court to instruct the
jury to acquit Henderson on the ground
that the evidence showed the defendant
acted on the defensive throughout his
troubles with Otto. This motion was
denied and two hours later the defense
placed its first witness on the stand.
A number of persons testified that
quiet was good, and Mrs. H. NJ. Allen.
proprietress Of a hotel at which Hem
derson was staying. told of a visit by
Otto and another man in June last
when, she said, Otto declared his wife
was in Henderson's room, and made
threats.
Henderson was the last witness Of
the day. He said the night of the
shooting he was walking near the cor
ner of Ninth and Tennessee streets
when Otto, accompanied by another
man. approached in an automobile.
1.-THE car was turned toward me-" he
said. ''and Otto jumped out. AS he
did so / saw something bright flash,
which believed to be a pistol. He came
toward me and / thought of running
away. but was afraid he would shoot
me in the back. He had his right hand
behind him and / moved backward. He
struck at me with his left hand and
said: You -, If you have gun pull
it out; that's what I want you to do
/ backed up some distance, and when
he came close to me ! fired. was
fully impressed that he was about to
kill me.
GAS 1 fired he turned and ran toward
the machine. 1 saw no reason for fir
ing again and ran fifteen or twenty
feet. 1 concluded to consult an attor-
ney, which | did, and the next morning
gave myself up"
Henderson told of incidents in which
Otto had threatened his life and said
at one time Otto had knocked him
down in his room and while he lay on
the floor had kicked him in the face,
cutting his lips. He said he had at no
time offered provocation to Otto.
the court advised the jury to return
a verdict of not guilty, saying they
could retire If they so wished. The jury
did so and within few minutes re-
turned to the room. where the verdict
generating Henderson was read.

The modes for grownups are often
most quaint and fetching when adapted
to the clothing of the little people, and
an attractive example is shown IT, the
small Mandarin coat illustrated. The
coat is cut quite on the latest approved
lines, with the long shoulder, wide arm
holes and general effect of modish
shapelessness, and altogether gives
pretty effect when worn by the small
girl. The shield, to which the standing
collar is attached, is made separate
from the coat, and may be worn or not
as desired. The model is of broad
cloth. with trimmings of soutachc and
q belt of ooze leather, but taffeta, vel
vet, pongee or serge would serve adj
mirably. The design, being rather diff
ferent from the ready-to-wear styles,
will appeal to the fastidious mother,
and is not too difficult for home max
ing. The 6-year size requires yards
of 44-inch material
4325-Seven sizes, 3 to years. The
price of this pattern is 10 cents.
