The revolutionists do not look
with favor, to say the least, upon a
plan to permit street speaking only
in certain districts, and it is plan
of this kind that is advanced by
the delegates to the Central Labor
union, who appointed a committee
to meet the city council tonight,
with a view to having the trouble
some ordinance modified.
Under no conditions will we con-
slider a proposition of this kind, or
any other kind, without that an I'M

told a reporter of The Press this

CHUDLABOR PROBLEM
AND APPLE SHOW

Is the apple show management
to run afoul of the law, and on the
child labor problem?
1t would seem so from the many
adverse comments heard on the ad-
vertised appearance of the Ed
mundson twins, six year old col
ored youngsters, as vaudeville
attraction of the apple show.
The state law ON the subject is
very strict, explicitly stating that
children under 10 years are not to
appear as public entertainers.

THE LONG ARM.
Even before the attorney general
showed his hand it was evident
that powerful influences were at
work to deprive these men of a
political refuge in the United
States. BY brides or otherwise,
the long arm of Diaz was reaching
them.
From San Antonio, Tex, whittier
they had fled from Mexico, they
were driven to st. Louis, Mo-, and
finally to Canada to escape the
hired thugs and trumped-up prose
cutions in police and other courts.
Finally, in 1907, they all had found
their way to Los Angeles. Here
the publication of a paper, La
Revolution" was begun.
Then this happened:
On the 23d of August, 1907, while
writing quietly in a hired house in
Pico street. Magon. Rivera and Viii
lareal were arrested. Men armed
with revolvers and claiming to be
detectives, forced their way into
the house, seized private papers,
and took the three MeXicans to
Jail.
REVOLVERS AS WARRANTS.
"Where is your warrant for our
arrest?' the MeXicans demanded.
Here" said the detectives, draw.
ing their revoIvers.
On the way to the jail the pris.
oners called out to persons on the
street, saying they we're being kid
mapped, and when they refused to
obey orders to keep STILL" were
beaten on the head with revoIvers.
Magon was knocked senseIess.
At hearing before U. S. Com
| missioner Van Dyke, the leader of
the raiding party declared that he
was Thomas Furlong of the Furlong
Secret Service Co. of st. Louis. He
said he was in the employ of the
| Mexican government and admitted
That he had made the arrests with
out warrant and had seized The
private papers without authority.
For % days the Mexican prison
ers were held ~ the Los Angeles
city Jail 'incomn unicado" They
were placed in solitary confine
ment, and with the exception o
their attorney no one was permitted
to see them; nor were they permit
ted to communicate in any manner
with their friends. Newspapers
reading matter and writing mate
rails were refused them. Durins
this time no charges were fileC
against them and they were denied
bail.
For 18 months the Mexican lib
erals were kept in Jail. Variou!

thought of, II must be apparent to
the feehiest minded that 1t was
but pretext.
But 1t worked. Backed by the
powerful influence which has from
the beginning flowed through Dip
lomatic, political and other chan
nels. and helped by an obvious use
of brides, the Mexican liberals
were dragged to Bisbee, Ariz.,e put
through the form of a court trial
and sentenced to IS months in the
penitentiary.
In consideration of the fact that
they had been IS months in Jail
before the trial at Bisbec, the
court was lenient" in the imposi-
ton of it's sentence.
One month after the arrest of
Magon, Villareal and Rivera at
Los Angeles. the private detectives
hired by Mexico arrested in SINH
lar fashion and in equally unlaw-
full manner l.. Gutierrez de Lara,
who had taken up the work of
editing the paper, LA Revolu-
ton" Like the others, he was
held in jail without warrant, or
bail to await charges from Mexico.
When these failed to naterialize,
de Lara was released, but not be-
fore he had been imprisoned three
months and two days for nothing
Since his release he has been ar
rested by Mexican detectives on
the Los Angeles police force, charg-
ed with being an anarchist" De
Lara is graduate of the Mexican
University, and before his political
exile was a mine owner and prac-
ticing attorney at Cananea.
The fifth of this group of politi-
cal exiles, Manuel Sarabia, before
he sought safety in flight, was
kidnapped by Pinkerton detectives
at Douglas, Ariz. After being TAX
en- from the Jail there, he was plac-
ed in an auto in dead of night and
taken. across the border into Mex
leo. The kidnapping was discovered
and local indignation ran so high
that he was brought back and re-
leased by the Mexican officials. He,
too, was rearrested in Los Angeles.
Thus do we afford asylum for
political refugees-for men whose
only crime is working to set up in
Mexico a government more nearly
like that of the United States.

King Is Dead
 God Save King

With the passing of Baron Schlenk in Portland another Craw fish King has sprung into prominence and the title has thus not been long lacking n claimant. The only difference is that Schlenk's tool. fresh water, srustaceans and the new Crawfsb King takes his fish from salt water. Also, the new king lives in Cal. ifornia, while the former one lived in Oregon.
 The new Crawfsh King is A. San loval, and he has monopoly ot the crawish makets of California through fortunate combination of circum- stances. The first is that there is a law which establishes closed season for two years. The other is that San doval has concession from the Mex ican government, which is exclusive, permitting him to fish alorg the Mex ican coast south of San Diego. The conseauence is that Sandoval has nc competition. California fishermen, however much they would like to, are prevented from taking crawfsh in that state by law. Wheu they go outside of the state into Mexico they are con- fronted by the fact that Sandcval has the exclusive concession from the Mex ican government. Sandoyal has num- her of gasoline schooners and launches along the coast and brings the catch to the California markets, and as these crawfsh, or ''lobsters, as they are called, are popular on the markets of San Diego and Los Angeles the new Crawfsh King bids fair to thrive and prosper for two years at least.

 One billion dollars for forest protec- tion reforestation and conservation of the forest resources thus assuring l timber and lumber supplies for cen turies to come.

The sawmill owned by James Clark at the half way house was also washed away by the raging waters. The road from Discovery to Atlin was also badly damag, d in several places. The dredge of another company was also boken.
 The dam went ont at o'clock last Thursday afternoon Recent rains had caused high water in the lake. The dam, which was built by the North Colum bia Colo company, of which J. M.

The North Columb bia company have been improving their property on Pine creek for ten years and the unfortunate accident will delay their placer work this season.
 Rich dirt had been struck on Pine creek and las. week a cleanup of about s30, 900 was taken south by Frank Breeze.
