FERRER EXECUTION

RESOLUTIONS SENT TO MADRID
AND WASHINGTON
Hone EXPRESSED State Department VIII
Take Measures to Express Dis
pleasure at Action of the
Spanish Authorities

Letters and resolutions condemning
the execution of Prof. Ferrer that were
sent to Washington and Spain by the
Los Angeles Liberal club were made
public yesterday. The letters are signed
by C. 7. Sprading, president of the
club. and are all similar in character.
They are addressed to the premier of
the Spanish government Nt Madrid and
the Spanish embassy and the state de-
partment at Washington. The letter
to the state department follows;
"To the State Department Of the U. S.
Government, Washington, D. C.:
Observation-Disclosures find copy or
resolutions passed by the Liberal clup
of Los Angeles october II, 1909.
Let me say that 1 hope the state
department will take measures TO eX-
press the displeasure and horror that
the American people feel at the outrage
perpetrated in the legal murder Oh
Prof Francisco Ferrer.

can do is to protest against exception

ADVISES 4NVALlDS
AGAINST ECUADOR
QUITO is POOR PLACE FOR
CONSERVATIVES
Minister to South American Republic
Warns Plague Victims Dlsadvan-
tages Are Many-TeIIs
of Conditions

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.-Quito en-
joys certain advantages for persons
suffering from tuberculosis, but there
are many disadvantages.
The above is the essence of the replies
sent in response to inquiries by Will
liam C. Fox, the American minister to
Ecuador, whose legation at Quito has
been flooded with requests for advice
as to whether consumptiVes could go
to that capital with prospects Of I'M
provement.
So many letters have been received,
says Mr. Fox in letter to the state
department, that it Is impossible to
answer them all.
The reason for the inquiries is a re-
cent publication referring faVorably to
Quito as a place beneficial to consump-
tives.
The reply quoted above by Mr.. Fox
is. he says, the statement of one of
the foremost physicians in Ecuador.
The latter points out in detail what
he regards as some of the disadvan-
tages.
on account of the altitude, 5000 feet,
he declares the city is unsuitable for ad-
vanced cases. The construction of the
houses is such that it is extremely diff
ficult to obtain sunny and airy living
rooms, and during the rainy season the
weather Is very chilly, with no stoves
for heating purposes In the city.
Competent physicians, familiar with
conditions in Quito and in the United
states, Mr.. Fox's informant says, are
of the opinion that the climate and the
conditions in certain parts of New
Mexico and Arizona are better In tu-
berculosis cases than in Quito.

MINISTERS TO
ASSIST CAUSE
WILL SPEAK AT De LARA MASS
MEETING
$4,000 BAIL is EXPECTED FOR
PRISONER TODAY
Subscriptions to Fund Received from
Many Sources, Showing WIde-
spread Interest In Mex
leans Plight

Arrangements were completed yes
terday for the mass meeting to be
held at Simpson auditorium Saturday
night to protest against the imprison-
ment and possible deportation OF l..
Gutierrez de Lara. An appeal was
sent to fifty prominent ministers of
Los Angeles to join the mass meeting
Saturday night. Several of them may
be asked to speak. The meeting will
be non-political, and In view of the
recent Staying of a prominent edu-
Gator in Spain great interest is being
manifested in what is characterized
as an attempt to get across the border
and kill another man who has tried to
educate his fellow countrymen.
Active workers in the newly organ
lied De Lara Defense league passed
busy day yesterday arranging for
the mass meeting. Scores Of letters
were received at the headquarters at
rooms 623-626 Pacific Mutual building.
A number of these letters contained
subscriptions to the defense fund and
several Of them were from outlying
districts.
Mrs. Mary A. Garbutt was much
encouraged by the outlook and says
that the widespread interest in the
case indicates that the American peo-
pie are becoming aroused to the ne
is on the verge of being disgraced in
the eyes of the world.
The Defense league yesterday re-
ceived reply from Clarence Darrow,
the Attorney of Chicago, in which he
stated that 1t would be a matter of
great inconvenience to him to come to
Los Angeles, but that If absolute ne
cessity were shown he would make an
effort to assist in the defense of the
Mexican patriot whose life is sought
by agents of the Mexican government.
Ball Fixed at $4,000
The recommendation was made by
officials of the Los Angeles immigra-
ton office yesterday afternoon that De
Lara's bail be fixed at $4,000. A tele-
gram naming this amount was sent
to Washington yesterday and reply
is expected today. Clarence Nelly of
the law firm of Goldberg & Nelly was
i'll yesterday and but little effort was
made to secure bail, but it Is expected
that the attorneys will have no diff
Guilty In securing the amount today.
During the last few months of his
residence in Los Angeles, De Lara
made weekly addresses at the Plaza
on various political and economic sub
jects. Yesterday number of Mexi-
can residents of the Spanish town
colony offered to make affidavits that
in none of these had De Lara made an
tnhammatory utterance or advocated
violence of any kind. He was known,
they declare, as a man of conservative
and peace-loVing tendencies, and while
he was an academic socialist, he never
at any time sought to arouse class
hatred or to incite to riot or assas-
sination.

but little perturbed by the sudden
turn in his fortunes
"I have no fear of the outcome" he
said. IT do not believe that the Amer

portation. I have sought only to be
of s. vice to my people. 1 now seek
only to see them lifted out of the
slavery which Mr.. Turner describes in
American Magazine. I have no doubt

Turner VIII Speak
A. r. Holston, one Of the Imprisoned
mans attorneys, said last night that
he did not believe any of the local
police or hired detectives would dare
to swear that De Lara made any an
archistic speeches, or has ever made
any during his lectures or his speeches
to his countrymen.
The list of the speakers at the mass
meeting Saturday has not been pre-
pared, but John Kenneth Turner the
author of the "Barbarous Mexico"
has consented to address the meeting
A number of clergymen already have
shown an active interest in the De
Lara case, and the affair is called to
the attention of every clergyman in
the following appeal sent out yester-
day morning:
In behalf of liberty, justice and
truth and Americanism, we are
appealing to you to add your word
of protest against the imprison-
ment or deportation of L. Cutter
reg de Lara, the Mexican liberal
and patriot now held In the Los
Angeles county JAIL charged with
being an alien and an anarchist.
De Laras deportation order will
be his death warrant, for the Mex
lean government has sought for
four years to lay hands upon him
In order that he might be de-
stroyed.
De Lara is not an anarchist,
never has been one and never Will
subscribe to any cult which calls
for the destruction of government
or rulers. or for pany violence or ,
bloodshed. He declares his belief
in the brotherhood of man and
the Fatherhood of God. voicing in
union his sentiment with that Of
President Taft.
Call for Mass Meeting
Saturday night at o'clock In
Simpson auditorium a mass meet
be non-sectarian and non-political.
Will you be one of those to attend?
A place on the platform will be
reserved for you.
At the mass meeting John Ken
meth Turner, author of BAR
barous Mexico" the most terrible
indictment made against a nation
in half a century, will tell of his
trip through the southern "repub-
lie" in company with De Lara. 1t
is because of the information fur
nished by De Lara to Mr.. Turner
that the wrath of the Mexican
government has been again
aroused.
Is it presuming too far to ask
you as a minister of the gospel of
Christ, who gave his life that
others might live and who
preached the doctrine of "Thy
Brothers Keeper" to make some
mention of De Lara's pitiable
plight from your pulpit Sunday?
Further information may be had
from any of the officers OF this
league. Yours for pustice,
