Release ofDe Lara Is
Ordered by the
Government

AlASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-Miguelo
wv Lozano, Cuban, was ordered
deported, and Gutierrez De Lara,
a Mexican, was ordered released by
Secretary Nagel of the department of
commerce and labor today. Both men
have been under arrest at Los Angeles
for several weeks as anarchists and
held for deportation under the immi-
grafton laws. The two men were ar
rested at the same time on the charge
of being alien anarchists. AS to Lo-
zano, it is said at the department, that
there is no question as to the correct
ness of the charge, because he dis
tinctly confessed he was ar anarchist
and believed in the destruction of gov
ernment.
De Lara denied the charge against
him and although intimated by immi-
grafton officials that further evidence
to sustain it might be Forthcoming,
this was not considered definite
enough to justify the mans further
detention.
The case has attracted considerable
attention. De Lara, it is said, in
CURED the hostility of the Mexican
government by plotting a magazine
writer through Mexico. The magazine
writer later wrote "a series of articles,
now running in magazine, in which
he scored the DiaZ government for it's
alleged tyranny.
Meetings of protest against the ar
rest of De Lara were held throughout
the Pacific coast states, and socialis-
tic organizations in particular came
to his assistance.
De Lara repeatedly denied that he
was an anarchist, insisting that he
was socialist.

Nal ASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-For the
first time in American history
six men are in prison tonight
for contempt of the supreme court OF
the United States. For the first time
the federal government has placed
men behind the bars as an outcome of
the lynching of a negro.
At the United States Jail here Capt.
Joseph F. Shipp, former sheriff at
Chattanooga; Jeremiah Gibson, the
jailer, and Luther Williams, Nick Mo-
Ian, Henry Padgett and William Mayes
of the same city, this afternoon began
to serve terms of Imprisonment i'm
posed few hours before by the su-
preme court of the United States.
Shipp and Gibson had been found
guilty of falling to protect from mob
Ed Johnson, whose legal execution for
rape had been stayed by the supreme
court until it could review the case.
The others had been found guilty of
participating in the lynching of a fed
eral prisoner.
Shipp, Williams and Nolan each
were sentenced to 80 days imprison-
ment while Gibson, Padgett and
Mayes each, received so days.
AS the doors of the jail swung open
to receive the prisoners this afternoon
Immediately after sentence had been
imposed, Warden Mckee stood before
them
AT least we are in the hands of a
soldier" exclaimed Captain Shipp,
who had been in many a fight for the
confederacy, as he espied G. A. r.
button in the lapel of Warden Mckee.
Then turing to his fellow prisoners,
he said:
Boys, 1t will be all right"
Warden Mckee has inaugurated
methods of punishment at the jail as
humanitarian as the various classes
of the prisoners will allow and he was
prepared for the reception OF the six
men from Tennessee.
A year ago in the Imprisonment of
an unusually large number of women,
the warden had fitted up store room
on the fourth floor of the Jail as quar-
ters for female prisoners. 1t was in
this large room, 20 to 35 feet, that he
locked the six prisoners.
In the room was a bed for each,
while at one end was table upon
which TRUSTEES will eat their meals
three times day A bathroom ad-
joining will be used by the prisoners
exclusively, Four large circular win
dows open to the south and west, CIV
ing excellent views of the front of
the buildings. In fact, so pleasant did
the prisoners find their quarters, that
Captain Shipp sent his attorney to the
office of the supreme court to with
draw request he had made when
sentence had been pronounced to be
sent to the federal prison at Atlanta,
Ga.
In the afternoon, the six men receiv-
ed calls from Tennesseeans and 9th
ers. Sitting on his bed, half reclin-
ing on his pillow of straw, Captain
Shipp made this statement:
"We are we'll pleased with the treat
ment given us by Warden Mckee and
are delighted with the quarters as
signed to us"
few hours in Jail made Gibson
reminiscent. He told his companions
that this was not the first time he had
been in prison at Washington. "But
the other time was brought here as
confederate prisoner" he said.
