Famous NobIeWoman of England Aca
cused of Smashing Windows Is
Imprisoned Under Assumed
Name at Liverpool
1Associated press1

LIvERPOOL. Jan. 22.-That Lady
Constance Lytton, sister of Lord Lyt-
ton, is serving a sentence in Walton Jail
here, under the name of Jane Warton,
for smashing Jail windows has just be-
come known and has caused a sensa-
tion among the supporters of woman's
suffrage.
Lady Lytton disguised herself as a
working woman and set about to force
the authorities to imprison her for the
purpose of proving her assertion that
Home Secretary Gladstones recent
action in,releasing her from Newcastle
Jail, on the official ground that she
had a weak heart, was really on ac-
count of her social position and the
agitation which was excited by the
forcible feeding of the prisoners who
refused to take food.
1t is said she is starving herself
again and is submitting to forcible
feeding to prove Mr.. Gladstone's state
ment with reference to her weak
heart was what she called t-"simply
liberal snobbishness."
Lady Lytton came to Liverpool Jan
uary IA She proceeded deliberately to
smash the Jail windows with stones.
When arrested she gave the name of
Jane Warton, and says she broke the
windows as a protest against the jail
regulations.

STOCK THEATERS ON
COAST JOIN INTERESTS
TWO Day Conference Attended by
Oliver Morosco Results in
Action by Managers

SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 22.-What is
said to be the initial step in the for
nation of a stock theater trust in the
west was taken today when the inter-
ests of the five principal stock theaters
on the Pacific coast were merged.
This action followed a two days con-
ference by the managers, and is the
outcome of a movement started in
New York by Frederick Belasoo.
The object of the combine, which at
present includes only the five prin-
cipal cities on the coast, but it is said,
viii be extended to Denver, Salt Lake,
Helena and other western cities, is to
avoid rivalry in obtaining plays and
engaging. actors and thereby control
the dramatic stock field in the west
The theaters whose interests have
been merged are the Alcazar, San
Francisco; Burbank, Los Angeles;
Baker, Portland; Seattle of Seattle,
and the Spokane of Spokane.

s A DIRECT result of the national
N campaign being waged against the
4A high prices of meats, thousands in
Los Angeles have boycotted this class
of food i'm a determined effort to fight
the trusts.
The sAght begun in the east has been
takessfp by the laboring classes from
the Pacific to the Atlantic, from Cam
ada to the Gulf of Mexico, and mo
quarter will be the battle cry until
the trusts decisively have been de-
feated.
Meat packers contend that the high
prices of all kinds of meat are but the
natural result of short supply, and that
it is only the best grades of meat which
have advanced in price. But labor, or
ganized and unorganized, feels that TINS
is but a subterfuge and that the real
reason is the greed of the trusts. That
the fight against the high prices of
meat is but one phase of a worldwide
battle between trusts and consumers
and capital and labor is the belief of
nearly every person who has inyesti-
gated the situation.
That the consumption of meat al
ready has been affected materially in
Los Angeles is admitted by the more
prominent packers. Were the present
unheard of prices but the natural result
of a meat famine the present boycott
would cause meat prices to drop, is the
conclusion of the smaller dealers and
the restaurant men.
Adopt Vegetarian Diet
But Notwithstanding the fact that
thousands of dollars which formerly
were expended for meat have during
the past two days bought eggs, Vege-
tables and other necessities of life,
prices remain high. So bitter has the
feeling grown against the trusts that it
now is doubtful if any compromise can
be effected.
Local unions have taken hand, and
the members promise to fight to the
last ditch. Il don't think we shall feel
much worse without meat than with
it," declared a section foreman yester-
day afternoon. My family will not use
10 cents worth of meat for thirty days,
and if necessary we can double or
treble the time. It's the only way to
beat em, and l think Well do it,"
Already the unions of Los Angeles
have appealed to every member, and
meeting has been called for next
Wednesday evening at Labor Temple,
and many non-union men will be pres
ent. Union men and non-union men
have Joined hads in the anti-meat trust
Mayor George Alexander will speak
and take up many phases of the in
creased cost of living. Stanley B. Will
son also will be another speaker.
, Local Committee at Work
A local committee of five, with c. NJ.
Fielder chairman and composed of Chris
Ploeger, w. A. Wanna, G. Haag and
George Mooney, has been appointed by
the Central Labor council to look into
the local situation and to arrange for
Wednesday nights meeting.
1--WE probably shall take a vote on
the meat question: declared Fielder
yesterday afternoon, land l believe that
every one present will favor boycotting
meat until prices are decidedly lower.
The unions will do nothing more than
make an appeal to the members. We
do not expect that the man who labors
all day can do without meat altogether
But there are many ways in which the
consumption can be cut down. MY
family has used no meat during the
past few days, and formerly we con-
sumed at least so cents worth daily

DENVER WILL BE DRY FOR
PERIOD OF ENTIRE DAY

DENVER, Jan. 22.-The lid was
clapped on Denver at midnight tonight,
and if it will be possible for any sa-
loon or restaurant keeper to pry it off
before Monday morning the officials of
the Hotel Mems association and Anti
Saloon league and the district attorney
will be greatly surprised, judging by
their assertions this afternoon when
they united in deciding that Denver
was to be given one absolutely arid
Sunday.
With or without meals, it is declared,
no LIQUOR or near-liquor may be served.
The approaching campaign for dry
Denver is thought to influence the
movement toward parched Sunday

Invasion of Grand Jury Room by OUT

Quash Indictment Against
Promoter-Capitalist
tAssooiated Pressl

ASSOCIATED PressJ
NEW YORK, Jan. GA decision by
Judge Hough in the federal court
quashing the indictment against f.
Augustus Beinze, financler and pro-
moter has Ngiven renewed hope to
friends, and counsel of Charles w.
Morse, the banker, now serving a term
of fifteen years in the federal prison at
Atlanta, Ga.
Martin w. Littleton, Morse's lawyer,
said tonight that the Heinze decision
may apply equally to the case of Morse,
and if he could establish similar facts
he would move that no valid indict-
ment was found against his client.
Heinze was indicted October IL, 1909,
for violation of the national banking
laws. In quashing the indictment Judge
Hough said
"The common law is that a grand
Jury while celebrating, shall listen to
witnesses who give testimony and to no
one else, except the authorized law of
ficers of the commonwealth. When this
indictment was under consideration in
the grand jury John p. Fernsler took
part in the proceedings to the extent of
asking technical questions of some
other expert accountants, and through
out suggested the method of examining
expert witnesses thought to be allied
with the QeIenuant.
Not a Lawyer
Mr. Fernsler is an expert accountant,
not a lawyer, and was not retained by
the prosecution as counsel.
This may be a good system" con-
tinues the court, "but it has not been
adopted by law 1t has never been
urged before that counsel is entitled to
have at his elbow in a grand jury room
an expert assistant
Mr. Iittleton issued a statement, III
part as follows: "It has been brought
to my attention that the method by
which the indictments against Morse
were procured included the service be-
fore the grand jury of a non-profes-
sional official, designated by the federal
government
81 understand the court has deter
mined that, for similar practices, an in
dictment against Mr.. Heinze shall be
ouashed. If | can establish similar
facts in the case of my client I shall
move that no valid indictment was
found against him.
but whether I can establish such
facts or not l expect within thirty days
to apply to the federal court at Atlantal
for a writ of habeas corpus which will
enable me to present to the court these
questions:
"First-Was the court constitu-
tional court within the meaning of the
constitution, it being conceded that one
of the jurors was demented at the time
of the trial
"Second-As to whether the defendant
was afforded trial by an impartial
jury when the jury was overshadowed
and surrounded by the private paid de-
tectives of the prosecution.
"Thfrd-As to whether or not SEN
tence of five years in excess of the
statutory term is a void sentence upon
which the defendant can be confined"
There are still two indictments pend
ing against Heinze.
