SAN DIEGO, May S.-Charged with
fraud W. F. Lay. a New York million
aire mining engineer, was arrested to-
day on warrant issued by Judge
James Rieves OF Los Angeles. He was
later released on $4,000 bonds.
C. J. Laughlin Jr. of Hartford, Conn,
and Fred c. Carlson and ]. M. Mcleod
Of San Francisco are the complainants
and according to their statements. Lay
has been guilty Of "frenzied loan max
ing"
Lay came to California, they say.
and represented to them that he could
secure the necessary capital to develop
valuable oil lands that Laughlin. Carl
son and Mcleod owned in Kern county.
Upon receipt Of a cablegram from Paris.
France, stating that French corpora
tion would lend s2,500.0 600. Lay was
advanced. they say, $4,000 by them.

financed" them out of $4,000.
Lay says the charges and his arrest
are, in his opinion, scheme to black
mail him. He says civil proceedings
were first started against him in Los

TOKYO STUDENTS ARE
BLAMED FOR BLAZE
Fire in Commercial High School
Followed Threat to Retire

TOKYO, May "a FIRE. believed to
have been Of incendiary origin, broke
out at 10 o'clock last night in the
Commercial high school. It was ex-
tinguished after an hours hard work
by the fremen aided by troops, the
damage being confined to the labora-
tory and library.
lne students of the school have
been petitioning the government to
raise it to the rank of a university.
1-eir request has not been granted. but
the minister of education has sought to
effect a compromise by establishing
new commercial course in the college
of law at the University of Tokyo.
This arrangement has been the cause
of dissatisfaction among the students
OF the Commercial high school, and
committee composed of members of
various classes met yesterday and re-
solved to retire from the school in a
body. IT is suspected that the fire was
the work of the enraged students.

a reconciliation. In an affidavit he has
declared that he was infatuated with
his wife" and was under her control.
She. however. held straight to ner in
tentiOn to secure a divorce. While
the case was being tried Dunphy, haY-
ing by that time abandoned all hope
that he could prevent her getting
divorce, through his attorneys offered
to stipulate that she should have 500
month alimony. It is believed he
would have agreed to $500 a month.
But the plaintiff in the suit consistent
~ demanded a lump settlement In
this she was successful. the court
awarding her 100000 That was the
very thing that brought about her
eventual defeat
The testimony upon which Mrs. Sill
verstone, then known as Mrs. Dunphy,
was granted a decree of divorce from
Dunphy was somewhat sensa tional. The
woman testified TO a number of acts
of cruelty. stating that Dunphys con-
duct was so abusive that she had TO
shut herself in room against him.
She also said that he cut her hand with
q razor. Other testimony was to the
effect that Dunphy spent some OF his
time with a nortorious woman, and a,
furrier told Of the expenditure of S4,-
Geo on pretty things for the woman.
Dunphy has repeatedly been declared
to be millionaire, but the inquiry into
the value of his property revealed that
under the wills of his father and moth
er William and Carmen ~ Dunphy his
holdings are worth about $500, 900.
Mrs. SiIverstone may appeal to the
supreme court against the decision of
Judge Graham, and 1t is within the
power Of the trial court to order Dun
ply to pay the cost of her appeal Her
attorneys are j. p. Langhorne and Err
nest Pagnuelo.
Attorney ]. H. Meredith has man
aged for Dunphy the long legal fight
which has resulted in victory for him.
Meredith has been assisted by Perry

EVANGELIST PERCY c. CROSS AND WIFE ARRIVE TO CON.
 DUCT BIG REVIVAL.
Basement of New Christian Church ol ouachita Converted Into Large
 Tabernacle for Revival.

Evangelist Percy G. Cross and wife arrived last night from San Antonio. Texas. Rev Cross will hold big revival meeting at the tabernacle of the Christian Church, beginning Sun day. Evangelist Cross is no stranger in this city, having held a meeting at the Christian Church here last year in October, during which there were over sixty accessions to the church from his earnest preaching. and it was ore of the most successful reviv. als ever held by the church of the disciples in this city.
 Rev. Cross will be assisted in the meetings by his wife, who has wide reputation where MT. Cross has held revivals, as singer, and the choir will be under her personal superyis. ion.
 The place where the revival will be held has just been completed. There being no available place down.
  town for such a meeting, the church at the end of Ouachita avenue hay ing been found entirely too small when Rev. Cross held his meetings last year, the membership decided to cover the newly completed basement of their new church on Ouachita. near Hickory street, and until funds could be obtained to complete the new church, use it as a tabernacle.
 The basement has been completed just as it will be when the church is completed, with temporary cove. and concrete floor, and the seating capacity will be much greater than at the old church, Accommodating all who desire to hear the noted eyangel. ist.
 The public is cordially invited to attend the meetings held by Rev. Cross and the large tabernacle will no doubt be crowded nightly after he begins his revival
 A meeting for workers will be held tonight at the tabernacle to arrange the preliminaries for the big revival which will begin Sunday.
