SOME SERIOUS OBJECTIONS

Although No have not seen il copy

amended by the committee. we ait
convinced from what wo have read
hat most Of the changes made b tho
original bill were for the worse
rather than for the better.
Ia the matter Of the appropriation
of lands for educational purposes, the
only ground upon which the original
was open to criticism was that 1t was
not sufficiently liberal The chief
reason for objection To il on this score
was because Of lts %nirRardly appro-

FAMOUS REFORMER
is SAFE ON ISLAND
ITALY WILL NOT AID RUSSIA
TO GET G0RKY
Noted Novelist Probably viii Cons
tinue to Live at Capri Under
Espionage Of Secret
Police

MILAN, March .3-Maxim Gorky,
the famous novelist and revolutionary,
will probably continue to reside in his
tranquil retreat in the beautiful island
Of Capri, as the Italian government
has no intention of aiding the Russian
authorities to execute the warrant for
Gorkys arrest by granting an extradi-
ton order.
Nevertheless the social reformer lives
continually under the espionage OF the
secret agents of Russia, who have
watched his movements closely since
the day he first set foot on Italian soil.
When two years ago Gorky accepted
the invitation of the Roman Socialist
party to participate in the first ami
versary commemoration of Red Sun
day in st. Petersburg the Italian gov
eminent persuaded him to desist under
threat of expulsion, and its attitude
evoked angry scenes in the chamber OF
deputies.
The belief is current among Maxim
Gorky's large circle of friends in this
country that strenuous endeavors are
afoot on the part of Russia to procure
somehow or other Gorky's departure
or temporary Punishment.

was discharged by Justice stephens
Yesterday when it was discovered that
the Justice had exceeded his Jurlsdlc-
ton in continuing Loewenstein' 5 case

longer continuance than two days, eA-
cept with the consent of the defendant
Ioewenstein was arrested about Two
weeks ago. 1t was believed by the dls-
trict attorney that he was an accom-
plice of Mrs. Minnie Batchelder, now
being examined on a charge of swim
ding George w. Harmer early in Janu-
arl. Mrs Batchelder's examination was
continued yesterday. Mrs. Nancy Jones
of San Luis Obispo was the only Wit
ness. Mrs. Jones is the mother of MRS.
Batchelder From her testimony 1t
would appear that the representations
alleged to have been made by her
daughter to Harmer, that she owned
large property interests in San Luis
Obispo county, had some foundation.
Mrs. Batchelder, said the witness, at
one time owned a large ranch about
fourteen miles from the city, but TINS
property was sold, and she later en-
gagged in the business of buying and
selling stock.
While admitting a correspondence
covering several years, Mrs. Jones de-
clared she was unable to identify her
daughters handwriting in response to
the questions of Deputy District Attor-
ney Horton, who sought to connect the
defendant with the Endorsement of C.
e. Bradley on the $50 check given her
by Harmer.
The examination will be resumed to-
day.

located in the room at the court house
set apart for the use of the grand jury
The first case to be tried in the new
department will be that of George N.

tary of the Continental Building and
Loan company, is charged with having
embezzled $2496 belonging to the con-

the county building, proposition Will
be made to the board of supervisors at
A. meeting today to rent the entire
fourth floor of the International Bank
building for the use of the district at
torney, his deputies and other officers
directly under his supervision. The
plan is to rearrange that part of the
court house set apart for the district
attorneys use, changing it into one
large room to be used for one of the
new departments. This will do away
with the necessity for using the grand
