Defendant IN ODD SUIT
Ownership of Property Seized on
Morongo Indian Reservation
Not Proved, Hence
Odd Title

According to United States District
Attorney Oscar B. Lawler, since there

ness, defendants.
This is the most peculiar suit insti-
tuted in the federal courts of Los An

outside the office of United States
Marshal Leo v. Youngworth yester-
day.
Dol Martins, who it is believed. tried
to introduce the fire water into the
Morongo Indian reservation, has not
been proven as the owner of the IL
quor as it is believed he is but an en-
ploye of a saloon keeper at Banning.
Hence the defendants as named.
The property was seized by Miss
Clare True. the Indian agent at Palm
Springs, who learned the whisky was
in Martins possession. The date of
March Q has been set for the time
when the owners of the whisky, horse
and buggy, and other defendants, y
should appear in court and make their
allegations
Deputy Marshal Bert Franklin has
gone to Palm Springs with a warrant
for the arrest of Dol Martins charg-
ing him with selling whisky to the In

DECISION MAY ALTER
STATE OF WHOLE CASE
Proceedings of Land Officers for Con-
tempt of Court May Be Void,
Due to Technical
Error

As a result of Judge Olin Wellborns
decision, which may be given this af-
ternoon at the federal district court at
3 o'clock, the proceedings against the
officers of the California Development
company, charged with contempt of
court may be dropped as being void
1t appears that in the case of the
New Liverpool Salt company VS.. the
California Development company an
amendment to the decree was entered
January 13. The case was meantime
appealed to the circuit court of APP
peals.
Hence the question has arisen: Has
the court the power to appeal, or has
it lost its jurisdiction for the purpose
of amending the decree and possibly
make the decree itself void?
So it might be that the procedure
against the officers of the California
Development company for contempt OF
court is void, since the decree itself
being void. they could not be guilty of
contempt OF court in connection with
any legal action under the decree.

LECTURE COURSE TO
OPEN THIS EVENING
POLISH SCHOLAR TO ADDRESS
MEETING
Professor LutosIawski, Considered
Greatest Teacher of Once Great
Country, to Speak at Simp-
son Auditorium

Prof. Lutoslawski, whose name, on
account of the peculiar Polish ~ in
the middle of it, is pronounced Loot
oswafslxi" is considered the greatest
public teacher that Poland has pro-
ducad, and is undoubtedly the best
qualified lecturer on the Pacific coast
at the present time. He is to open the
new university course tonight at Simp-
son auditorium.
Manager Behymer, in securing this
celebrated author and lecturer, was
aware of the fact that but little is
known of Poland, and that it is worth
while for this country TO know of the
people because today there are more
Polish emigrants coming to America
than English, French and Germans to-
gether.
If they are anarchists, if they are
dangerous persons, the fact ought tc
be known, and it is undoubtedly tc
the interests of those three pow erfu
nations to conceal the truth about lit
tie Poland, which was the largest re-
public, the greatest example of 6
democracy. till that of the new world
the United States, and so 1t is a story
of long ago, from the fourteenth CEN
tury TO the present time, which will bt
told this evening. introducing the lib
crafty, democracy, religious tolerance
of which all are characteristic of this
ancient nation of the Aryan race.
Compared with England and America
Poland was liberal long in advance
and so this authority on European
civics, politics. religion and history
comes to us with a story of intense
interest and one which each hearel
will remember long after his words
have died away.
The new university course appeals
to the thinker, to the politician. ths
historian. the artiFt, the literary writer
and should be well patronized by al
those interested in the higher educa-
ton of this city and its people.

stringency prompted the proposed re-
duction in wages.
"As I understand it," continued E.
D. Hough, there were eighteen men
at this meeting, eight of them en-
ployed by myself and ten of them not
working at all. 1t was the ten men
who are not working that voted to
refuse to work If the wage was not
kept UP to S. a day, as heretofore.
