VOICE THEIR PROTEST
AGAINST DIAZ REGIME
Orators Make Plea for Indepen-
denCe of Mexico at Ami
verSary Celebration

The centenary of Mexican indepen-
dence was celebrated in Simpson au-
ditorium last evening by the Los An
geles members of the liberal party to
the number of about 500. G. De I "a
presided. The program was made up
Of singing, speaking and recitations.
The principal speaker was Ricardo
Flores Magon, one of the Mexican
liberals who served a term in the
Florence Ariz., prison after having
been found guilty of violating the
neutrality laws existing between the
United States and Mexico. Magon
brifly told of the sufferings the masses
of Mexico endured one hundred years
ago. He ended his speech by saying
that he hoped in one year from now
the Mexican liberals would be cele-
brating the downfall of Diaz, the presi-
dent of Mexico, whom he called a
despot.
John Kenneth Turner, author of
"Barbarous Mexico" devilevercd an
address in English. He dWelt on the
exercises held in the public schools Of
Los Angeles yesterday when the his
tory of the Diaz regime was repeated
in many school rooms. Mexicans who
are against the Diaz regime sent a
communication to Prof. ]. HI. Francis,
superintendent of city schools, in which
they protested against any reference
to Diaz in the public schools yester-
ay. In concluing, they wrote:
1--WE protest against the Mexican
consul being permitted to select the
speakers of the day, since the consul
representing the despotism would nat
urally choose speakers who would
apologize for a condition of peonage
and slavery such as exists in no other
country of the civilized world"
Mr.. Turner concluded his speech by
saying:
mo school board, superintendent,
principal or teacher having any respect
for his revolutionary forefathers and
their Declaration of Independence, re-
vering the principles upon which this
republic was founded, and at the same
time knowing the true character of
Diaz, could plan or carry through a
program such as was placed before the
public schools of Los Angeles yester-
day.
what American schoolmaster would
encourage his pupils to do honor to the
czar of Russia? Who would think of
devoting an hour of praise to the late
King Leopold? Who would not shudder
to the depths of his soul at the idea of
singing praises to the name of the
Roman Emperor Nero?
"And yet Porfrio Diaz of Mexico is
an incomparably greater autocrat than
Czar Nicholas, a more ruthless and
bloody murderer than ever was Leo
pold, and for his time he is vaster
monster than was Nero-stil they
praised Porfirio Diaz in the public
schools of Los Angeles yesterday"
Speeches were also made by G. de
Lara, Antonio I. Villareal, Valente MO-
rales and Juan Nieto.
The feature of the vocal part OF the
program was the singing OF Miss Vio-
let McMartin. Songs were sung py
several little Mexican girls. The audi
torium was decorated with American
and Mexican colors, 4

SISTER LOOKS IN VAIN
FOR KERMIT ON LINER

NEW YORK, Sept. ia hunt on
the Mauretania for Kermit Roosevelt,
son of the former president, when the
big steamer docked last night, caused
some excitement among the passen-
gers.
Miss Ethel Roosevelt was waiting
at the pier expecting to meet her
brother and was greatly disappointed
when he failed to appear. She said
she had received letter from him,
saying he would arrive on the Maure-
tania.
When she failed to find Kermit
among the passengers as they de-
seconded the gang plank, Miss Roose-
welt went aboard the steamer and
inquired from Pursor Graham for her
brother. His name did not appear on
the passenger list and she was as
sured that he had not come over on
the steamer in the second cabin.
There was some mystery about Ker-
mit's sudden trip abroad shortly after
his return from Africa with his father,
but the family pooh-poohed at the time
any talk of European romance.

DISCUSS MERGING

ALSO CONSIDER ANNEXATION
Crown City May Consolidate with
Los Angeles to Solve
the Problem
ILS0 CONSIDER ANNEXATION

Consolidation of city and county gov
ernment was discussed at an executive
session held in the office of Mayor
Alexander in the city hall last night, at
which nearly all the members of the
council and a committee of the Pasa-
dena Civic association were present.
The conference was called by Mayor
Alexander chiefly for the purpose OF
discussing ways and means to provide
Pasadena with water when the Owens
river project is completed. The COM
mittee from Pasadena was composed OF
E. d. Barry, president of the Pasadena
Civic association; M. H. Weight and
j. Edward Kent, both members of the
association. The councilmen present
were President Lusk. Stewart, WASH
burn, Whiffen, Gregory and Andrews.
When the executive session had con-
cluded the mayor made Mr.. Weight the
spokesman for the party, and Mr..
Weight said:
WEIGHTS STATEMENT
"The Pasadena Civic association con-
sidered it wise to get into closer touch
with Los Angeles in regard to Owens
river water. Our committee called on
Mayor Alexander a few days ago for
an informal discussion of ways and
means, and he suggested it would be
well to meet the council informally and
talk over the situation. He called this
meeting tonight SO that we might get
together. We came without any desire
to make any suggestions, but merely
to lay information before the council
that would point the. way. We have
not delved very deeply into details and
we have not settled anything.
I'VE discussed city and county con-
solidation, the annexation of Pasadena
and other phases of the question. We
have been assured by the mayor and
the councilmen that they appreciate
what we have told them, and that they
have received information they did not
have before. The meeting has resulted
in a much better understanding as to
conditions existing on both sides. We
trust that at no distant day we Will
have the pleasure of meeting again.
and that we can secure water for Pas
adena."
While Mr.. Weight did not say so In
his interview, it is known that the or
ganization he represents is in favor OF
consolidation of city and county gov
ernment or of annexation to Los Ange-
les, If either of these methods is neces-
sarv to secure the Owens river water
for Pasadena.
Mayor Alexander has stated that he
will call a conference of the officials or
the various municipalities in the county
to discuss ways and means of city and
county consolidated government.
