and the flowers are held in place with
the French knot centeTs. They are of

lengths. Each petal is formed by doubling
the ribbon. tacking the sides of one end
back to make a point, and gathering the
other end into the center.

AIIeqe Three Asiatics Informed Them
Climate of City Was Unhealthy
and Tried to lntimidate
Them

Several witnesses against the forty

four japanese who were arrested last
week when the police raided fifteen
resorts and booked the proprie-
tors and employees on charges OF Vlo-
lating the liquor ordinance called az
the central police station and asked
Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Seymour
protection against three Japanese who
are said to have tried to intimidate
them into leaving the city.
According to their story to seymour,
the witnesses stated they were APP
preached by three Japanese-Wa tana-
be Takiuichi and Shirakihara-and
told that the climate of Los Angeles
would not agree with them and advised
to leave the city before the cases
against the forty-four Japanese were
brought to trial.
The three men are said to have Of
fered each witness 500 and his ex-
penses If they would agree to leave i'm
mediately. The men are said to have
told the witnesses that death might
come easy to some of them. The men
who are said to have made this offer
are said to have declared that further
persuasion would be made by men who
are now in San Diego, but would come
that the witnesses could not be induced
to leave by persons in Los Angeles.
Fear Gun Men
The witnesses told Seymour there
is no highlander society among the
Japanese, but they believed that "gun
men" would be brought to Los Angeles
to make trouble.
The Japanese who were arrested in
the raid say they know nothing about
the matter and that they did not au-
thorize the three men to make any
proposition to the witnesses for the
prosecution.
The Japanese charged with violating
the liquor ordinance were arraigned
the day following their arrest. Four of
them pleaded not guilty to the charges
and their cases were set. The others
asked for time to plead and were given
until yesterday morning. They asked
for more time in which to enter pleas
and were allowed until Tuesday.
Watanabe, Takiuichi and Shiraki-
hara will be brought into court on
that date and probably will be re-
quired to furnish bonds to keep the
peace.
"These men were notified to appear
in court Tuesday" said Deputy Pros
