IS A POLITICAL EXILE
Well-Known Mexican, Recently Ar
rested As An Alien Anarchist,
To Lecture Here.

L. Gutierrez de Lara, a Mexican pOlit-
ical exile, well known throughout this
country and in Europe, where he has ap-
peared before the public as a lecturer,
will give an address on Mexican des-
potism at Unity hall, 13S South Second
West street at o'clock this evening, TAX
ing for his subject, The Political and
Industrial Struggles Of the Mexican Peo-
pie and the Wide Social Movement
Against the Military Regime"
Some three and q half wears ago
Gutierrez incurred the enmity Of the
Mexican government through his ener-
country. with the result that he was
forced to cross the border, and forever be-
come a political exile. Numerous at
tempts have been made to get him back.
and on the occasion of President Tafts
visit to Los Angeles last October, the
Mexican patriot was arrested by immi-
grafton officers, on advices from Mexico,
that he was an alien anarchist. His re-
lease however, was brought about by
the insistency OF the American and Euro
pean public.
The present struggle in Mexico, says
Gutierrez, Is to bring about restoration
of the constitution of 1851 which the pres
ent despOtic government has OverthrOwn
and crushed. That constitution, he says,
provides for free speech. free ballot, free
ucatiOn. freedom of religious creed, dis
abandonment of the army, and, best Of ALL
that no man be compelled to work with
out HIS plain consent and just compensa-
ton. ''This," says Gutierrez, us the
dearest principle for Mexicans, and the
greatest proclamation for human freedom
ever made in the world.

The number of girls in Salt Lake was
added to quite materially during the last
week by the arrival of twenty-eight, as
against only nineteen boys, making d to-
tai of fOrty-seven births for the week.
There were tWenty-siX deaths, Of which
fifteen were males and eleven females,
and ten bodies were sent to Salt Lake

tiOUs disease reported during the week,
distributed as follows: Smallpox, 3: diph-
liberia, .; scarlet fever. %; measles. ?;
whOoping cough, 5, and ChickenpOx, 2.
The week proved almost a record break

ported, with the exception of scarlet
fever, which continues to hold up the
average.
The report shows that six houses are
still under quarantine on account Of small
pOx, sixty-twO for scarlet fever, three for

WHO OWNS SALT LAKE CITY?

Miles of handsome residences and
comfortable cottages line the streets
of Salt Lake City. They are the homes
of the rich, of the well-to-do and OF
thousands of the labOring class who by
thrift have acquired their own homes.
The substantial citizen is usually a
home owner. If not, ne is making
plans by which he can acquire a nome
for his wife and children.
With a few hundred dollars ahead
Won can arrange to stop the useless
extravagance of rent paying. The
monthly payment plan of the Salt Lake
Security & Trust company calls for
a small initial deposit-then the bal
ance is like rent, with the difference
that it applies on the purchase of your
own home. The officers of the COM
pany take pleasure in explaining the
advantages of the plan to all inquirers.

them protection against heavy losses to
their industries. The idea, as outlined by

have a system based on information given
