SAYS MEXICO NEVER
WILL BE CONQUERED
EVOLUTIONARY LEADER IS
FOR INDEPENDENCE
De Lara Delivers Lecture and Claims
Dreams Of Conquest lmperIl Alike
His Country and the
United States

L. Gutierrez de Lara, one of the al
legged Mexican revolutionists, who was
released from the Los Angeles county
Jail January g. after having been In
carcerated 104 days, lectured before
the Los Angeles Liberal club last night
on "Shall Mexico be annexed to the
United States"
The speaker preluded his argument
with a succinct history of the strug-
giles that his country had gone through
In the past on behalf of liberty, speak
ing of the millions of lives that she
had lost in conflicts with Spain, with
France and in the two wars with the
United States.
He then drew comparison OF condi-
lions in Mexico and the United States,
maintaining that they were identical
at bottom; that both countries had
workers, women and children IN
slavery and that in both countries in
dustrial disturbances had broken out
and been suppressed by the army. He
also claimed that both countries mad
the same class of politicians who used
patriotism as a cloak for the ambitious
projects of annexation, under the pre-
text of protection, and that weaker
nationalities were invariably chosen as
the victims, Mexico being anxious to
protect Guatemala just as the united
States is protecting, or processing TO
protect, the Philippines.
The past history of Mexico was
again referred to for the sake of en-
phasizing the point that, If there were
those who were now cherishing ambi-
tious designs against the independence
of the country, they would find the
task no easy one, as Mexico was de-
termined to preserve her autonomy,
and would put up again as valiant a
struggle as ever she has in the past.
Mr.. De Lara mininizes the impor-
lance of the influence exercised in his
country by foreign capitalists, consider
ing that the real enemies that threaten
the liberties of Mexico are her own
financial magnates, who are becoming
drunk with dreams of conquest. On
this head no had much to say of the
history of Persia, Rome and Spain,
where magnificent civilizations, built
I'D by the brain and muscle of the
workers, had been pulled down by
military ambitions and the lust OF
conquest; evils that, in his opinion,
were threatening alike Mexico and the
United States.
AS regards the much-talked OF con-
cessions that Diaz is said to have given
away SO generously to American CAPT
talists, he expressed the opinion that
most of them were worthless.
There was a good attendance and
much interest was manifested in the
debate that followed. the view of sew
eral being that financial interests in
this country would eventually involve
us in trouble with our southern neigh
Dor which would end in a war of an
neXation.

INFANT TWINS FOUND

Citizens and Policeman Find Three
Days-OId Waits In Kings High
way-Rescue Them from
Death

NEW YORK, July SHERMAN OK
mann of 1854 Goodfellow avenue, a
gardener, was taking a load of pro-
duce to market at 2:30 a. m. AS he
approached Kings highway and Laba-
die avenue he heard plaintive cry. He
stopped his horses and listened.
The wailing continued, but thinking
the sound was made by a cat Oxmann
drove on. He had gone only few
feet when the crying became louder.
The sound, now Enthusiastically hui
man, seemed to come from point only
a few feet from the wagon wheels.
Taking the lantern from the DASH
board, Oxmann Jumped down. The
rays of light, falling on the hard,
warm cobblestones of the gutter, re-
vealed tiny white bundle.
AS Oxmann lifted it a little head set
tied in the crotch of his elbow and the
crying ceased. Two bright, blue eyes
looked up into his rugged face.
Carefully holding the baby in his
lap Oxmann drove to the office of DR..
Lloyd Simpson at 2608 Marcus avenue.
''Its fine little boy, and the ex-
posture hasn't hurt it any," said the
physician.
Oxmann continued his drive to mar
ket.
DR.. Simpson later turned the baby

Mrs. Nora Sexton, nurse.
Rogers, at $3.50 a. M, went to the
place where the baby was found
Something just kept telling me to
go there" he said afterward.
1t was daylight, and as Rogers APP
preached the corner he saw white
bundle lying in the gutter near the
spot where Oxmann found the little
castaway.
Lying on his back, with his tiny feet
tanning the air and his fist in his
mouth, was the duplicate of the baby
Rogers had taken to the asylum three
hours before.
Mrs. Sexton responded when Rogers
rang the doorbell at st. AIMS second
time.
"I've got the other half of that

iAt the asylum 1t is said that there is

there were no marks on the garments

PARSON DRUMMED OUT
OF TOWN BY CHILDREN
Tin Pan Serenade for Preacher Who
Objected to Gymnastlo
Stunts-Foroed to
Leave

TRENTON, N. J., July 5.-Thc Rev.
Jarvis Clinton Worden was literally
"drummed" out of town when he
started for Brooklyn, leaving this city
forever.
He had complained to the police Of
two little girls in boomers doing GYM
nastic stunts in their fathers back
yard. He said that the exhibition was
disgraceful. 1t was learned that the
children were exercising by the direc-
ton of their father,
Because of this incident and discord
in his church, which he called the St.
Thomas congregation, Worden decided
to depart. When he was ready to go
this morning about 100 boys and girls,
with tin pans, marched the dominic to
trolley car. He did not then escape,
for some of the children managed to
keep abreast of the car through the
crowded east side section.
Worden came here several years ago
and started a United Presbyterian
church. He said he had the gift Of
divine healing.

REV. HORACE DAY TALKS
ABOUT SOCIAL PROBLEMS
Discusses Origin and Meaning Of Dec
laratlon of Independence Before
Members of the First Con-
aregational Church

independence Sunday morning at the
First Congregational church was
marked by a sermon by the pastor,
Rev. William Horace Day, on our
Declaration of Independence" He said
in part:
"One hundred and thirty-two years
ago our fathers declared themselves
free and that the will of the people
should rule. Every generation must
proclaim this declaration If popular
government is to survice.
"A man or nation is free when fol-
lowing Gods law. The business of hui
man government is to lead the nation
to obey Gods law. The noblest and
wisest state is that which best hnds
and enforces the divine precept. Be
cause the republic can best teach the
people the will of God it stands. The
authority of the state rests upon it's
claim to represent the Deity.
Monarchy sets UP a king who claims
the divine right to rule as Coz proxy.
One man and only one Is supposed TO
be able to dictate the laws OF heaven.
The American colonies revolted be-
cause a foolish king forgot he was
Gods representative and betrayed his
stewardship. Monarchy often fails be-
cause the king whom men crown Is not
A. man whom God can approve.
"Oligarchy, or the rule of the few,
Is based upon the Ineory that the
strongest and wisest mon will be the
best men, and that God can disclose
through them divine laws and they
will establish them among the people.
Alas! men of privilege are as apt to
fail to be Gods proxies as are kings.
The republic is a rule of the people,
because it believes we most nearly live
by divine law when all the people are
responsible to God as proxies. Men
believe that God rules most when the
people rule. We have learned that
some will forget that they are Gods
proxies all of the time, and all may
forget it some of the time, but. all
the people will not forget all the time.
our declaration of independence must
roo firm the right of the people"
