cfals, Angered by His Exposure of
PeOnage, have Induced United
States Authorities to SIeze Him and
to Send Him Across the Border.

OS ANGELES, Cal, Oct. 18.-Gui-
terrez De Lara, Mexican attorney
and author, was arrested by Unit
ed States immigration inspectors act
ing under orders from the department
of commerce and labor. De Lara be-
came widely known recently as the
man who accompanied a well known
American magazine writer into Mex
leo, where he obtained information
for series of articles on alleged
slavery in Mexico"
De Laras friends allege that an eff
fort is being made to railroad" him
across the border into Mexico, where
the authorities of that country might
deal with him.
De Lara was arrested here October
49, two days before President Taft's
arrival, together with three or four
other Mexicans, charged with disturb
ing the peace 1t was alleged that he
made incendiary speeches in the pub
lie plaza and was locked up as a pre-
cautionary measure for the safety of
President Taft. All of the other men
were discharged from custody today
but De Lara, who had been at liberty
under bond, and who was re-arrested

He is now held in prison and the
amount of his bail will be fixed by
the department of commerce and la
Dor. A. c. Ridgeway, inspector in
charge of the local immigration of
flee said that the customary $4,000
bail probably would be required.

35 years of age. He denies that he
is an anarchist. De Lara left Mexi-
co after the publication of his book,
Los Bribe, or "The Bribers," which
incurred the hatred of the officials in

ago to an American woman.

cialist organizers of the United States,
having been appointed from social
list headquarters in Chicago. Chief

yi's attorney told the Judge that two
OF the questions to be decided related
to the defendants alleged unfaithful-
ness. Batonyi was on hand when the
case was called, but his wife had not
arrived by the time the jury was OBJ
tanned.
Mrs. Baytonyi's first suit was dis
missed last June when her attorney
walked out of court after failing to
get delay to find an absent witness.
The horseman pressed his suit for a
separation and won it, but his victory
did not interfere with the present ac-
ton.
Four women were mentioned in Mrs.
Batonyis complaint.
The first witness was Eugene Ar
court, chauffeur. He said that in
March, 1909, he drove Batonyi and a
woman whom he did not name, in
his taxicab far north to One Hundred
and Ninety-fifth street and then re-
turned
This taXicab trip Is the basis of one
of Mrs. Batonyi's charges. Arcourt
said he did not see anything wrong
in the actions of the defendant or his
companion that night
Other witnesses testified to the tax
icab incident. One related how Ba-
tonyi entered his store to purchase
some spirits of ammonia, while the
taXicab, with the curtains drawn, re-
NAMED standing at the curb. In mo-
ment, he said, a woman alighted from
the vehicle and entered the store
against the defendants protests. Not
needing him she stood before mirror
and smoothed her disheveled hair.
Mrs. Batonyi's lawyer called other
witnesses in an attempt to prove that
the defendant visited woman in her
apartments on Riverside Drive.
Mrs. Batonyi also testified She was
asked but two questions, one of which
was her name which she said was
Frances, and when she was married
to Batonyi. On March 4, 1908, she
replied, and was then excused The
case will be continued tomorrow.

N ARIS, Oct 1S.-Count De Lambert,
French aeroplanist, just before
dark tonight, accomplished one
of the most remarkable and daring
feats yet credited to heavier than air
machines. Starting from the aero
dome at Juvissy, he flew to Paris,
about 13 miles.
After maneuvering over the city at
an average height of 400 feet, he as
cended in gradually diminishing cir
cles and passed several hundred feet
above the Eiffel tower. He then re-
turned to Juvissy.
Thousands who watched could bare
ly credit their senses when they saw
the aeroplane, tiny object, gliding
swiftly far above the tower, and the
sensation created was more profound
than when Santos-Dumont circled the
structure in his dirigible balloon in
1900.
Count De Lambert was given a
tremendous ovation on his return to
Juvissy. Orville Wright rushed for
ward and wrung the hand of the
aviator as he alighted, pale but ra-
diant.
He was led to the pavilich, where
his health was drunk, the crowd
meantime cheering Justify and crying
Long Live Count DeLambert," "Long
Ii Russia" De Lambert being of
Russian extraction.
The count held up his hand and
shouted, "Cry long live the United
States, for it is to her that l owe this
success"
The aviator said that the only in
convenience he suffered was from the
throbbing of the engines and the diff
ficulty in seeing toward the end in
the gloom.
The official time of the flight was
40 minutes, SO seconds. The distance
was roughly estimated at 81 miles and
the height from 800 to 1000 feet.
Count De Lambert and Mr.. Wright
left the field together in an automo-
| bile.
