EX7RADI7ION TO
OREGON RESISTED
LAND FRAUD CASES NOW IN THE
FEDERAL COURT
Los Angeles Men Opposing Effort to
Take Them to Webfoot
State-lra Mccoy
on Stand

The case i'm which the United States
government is Investigating the al
legged Oregon land frauds, in which sew
eral Los Angeles men are alleged to
have participated, occupied the atten-
ton of the federal court yesterday.
1t Is said it will take several days
for the case to be concluded.
The Los Angeles men are resisting
deportation to Oregon for trial.
Will d. Gould is his own attorney,
while among the other attorneys for
the defense are LeCompte Davis, H. j.
Goudge, j. H Blanchard and Judge
Noyes.
United States District Attorney Oscar
b. Lawler and his assistants represent
the government.
Ira D. Mccoy, former secretary of the
Pacific Furniture and Lumber COM
pany, which is connected with the land
frauds, 1t is alleged, was placed on the
stand yesterday to identify certain
books and records belonging to the
company
Richard Hynes, who has yielded him.
self to removal voluntarily. having
agreed to be tried on the alleged
charges in Oregon, was next placed on
the stand by ttorneys for Lee r.
Meyers. TO show Meyers connection
with the Pacific Furniture and Lumber
company.
Case Is Continued Today
Ives e. Cobb, private secretary for
w. II. Smith, promoter of the Pacific
Furniture and Lumber company, was
also placed on the stand for the same
purpose, after which the case was ad-
journed until 10 a. m. today.
Two incidents of the case were of
especial interest yesterday. When
Thomas B. Neuhausen was placed on
the stand as witness for the defense,
being special agent for the department
OF the interior, Attorney Tracy v.
Becker assisting District Attorney
Lawler, objected on the ground that
Neuhausen in his testimony would dis.
close the evidence taken before the
Oregon grand jury, to which the gov
ernment is opposed. 1t was owing to
the shrewdness of District Attorney
Lawler that these books are in the
possession of the plaintiff at this ex-
tradition case.
Attorney Herbert J. Goudge, appear
ing for Warren Gillelen and B. w.
Kenny, both Los Angeles business men,
says they should not have been in
dicted by the Oregon grand jury, since
they are in no way connected with the
Pacific Furniture and Lumber COM
pany, but merely had their signatures
attached to certified checks found in the
office OF the company.
The other Los Angeles men in the
case are Will d. Gould. DR.. David M.
Goodwin and Lee r. Meyers.

EDUCATOR ELIOT FAvoRS
DIRECT PRIMARY SYSTEM

Dr. Charles W. Eliot of Harvard, in
replying to queries from the charter re-
vision commission, says he opposes the
convention system of nominations and
favors nominations by direct primaries
or by petition.
He favors non-partisan nominations
and prefers ballots to have no party
designations and no groups.
Twenty-Five years is the ideal length
of term for franchise, DR.. Eliot
thinks. The mayor and four council
men plan of government appeals to him
as best, with councilmen at large and
only a few elective officers.

SHOOTS DOWN
BAD GUN MAN
MONTE VISTA SLAYING DONE IN
SELF DEFENSE
VICTIM WAS BRUTALLY BEATING
HAINED DOG
When Told to Desist Pulls Revolver
but Misses Fire-Is Killed
When He Pulls Pistol
Again

Lewis Flores was shot and almost
instantly killed yesterday afternoon
shortly before o'clock by Victor Silvas
at the Hartranft ranch near Monte
Vista.
A charge of bird shot fired at close
range from a twelve-gauge single
barrel shotgun entered Flores body
about the center of the chest. He stag
gered about twenty-five feet, then fell
to the ground.
Silvas lives in tent a short dis
tance from the Hartranft ranch house.
He was working about the place when
he heard a dog yelping. 1t sounded
like his dog that had been left tied
at the tent. He hurried to where the
dog was and found Flores giving the
animal brutal beating. He asked the
man the reason for whipping the DUMB
tlute and told him to desist.
"That's all right" said Flores. II
will settle with you now.' And draw
ing a revolver as he spoke, fired point
blank at Silvas, missing him.
Silvas ran around to the rear en-
trance to the tent and secured a single
barrel shotgun. Flores met him and
leveled his revolver to shoot when Sill
vas fired, the charge of bird shot en-
tering the body. The wounded man
dropped his weapon, ran about twenty
five feet and dropped in his tracks.
After the shooting Sllvas went to the
ranch house and related the circum-
stances to Mrs. Hartranft, who sent him
for a physician and told him to sur
render himself to any officer he might
r1eet.
The sheriff's office was notified of
the occurrence and the big red auto
mobile with Deputies Aguirre, Mad
G'son and Crowley, accompanied by
Coroner Hartwell and a stenographer,
left for the scene of the killing. They
brought back Silvas, who surrendered
upon the arrival of the officers.
Silvas bears an excellent reputation
and is considered peaceable and law
2biding man. Flores, on the other
hand, was thought to be a dangerous
man, and was said to be of quarrel
some nature.
After investigating the circumstances
leading up to the tragedy Coroner
Hartwell said he believed it to be n
clear case of self defense.
Monte Vista is near San Fernando
and about twenty-five miles from Los
Angeles.

sure this will be of great interest to

Those who have followed the work
of Fritz Kreisler, violinist, in both
America and Europe have found that
of all the fine artists in violin music
there is really but one man that stands
over and above all of these. and that
is Kresiler. No other artist of the violin
school could have played three con-
secutive times in Boston and to capac-
.ity audiences who in a frenzy almost
insisted on encore after encore until he
was compelled to leave the Auditorium
in an exhausted condition.
Exactly to what school of the violin
Kreisler with his varied training be-
longs may be left to- the experts and
laymen both who will hear him in this
city tonight. There are many here
who remember the remarkable playing
of Kreisler when with US two seasons
ago, a playing which was a delight
and which set the audience into demon
strative enthusiasm. He has long since
made it clear that for him this music
is alive and feeling. He is not al
stranger in Los Angeles, but somehow
every time he appears he impresses his
audiences anew by his wholesome
manly playing.
Most of us have forgotten by this
time that he was once prodigy, and
like Josef Hofmann was one of the few
wonder children who brought their
first glories into fulfillment.
Tonight will amply demonstrate this
fact, as even glance at the following
program will show:
Concerto. C Minor. r..................,B ,Bruch
Allegro, Moderate, Adagio. Finale.
Sonata, G Minor. No. l (for violin
alone) ............... Bach
Adagio, Fugue. sicilinom Presto.
Amdamtino f Major. ............M Martini
Eiciliarno and Ringaudon. .... .Francouer
La Pdecieuse ...............s..s. .Couperin

Exactly how much will be expended

by means of an additional appropria-

doubtless see dirt broken and work
under way This means that by
mid summer. in all likelihood, tho
