DISTRESSED BY WIFE'S
DISSECTION; BRINGS SUIT
Religious Belief Causes Buddhist
Mental Anguish

Much distress of mind has been
caused him, says o. Muraguchi, Jap
anese, in a damage suit filed in the su-
perior court because surgeons made a
postmostem examination Of his wife S
body to determine the cause of death.
This is due to the fact that the relatives
Of his wife and he himself are Budd-
hists and believe, therefore, that when
a body is dissected disgrace and mental
suffering viii enter the household of
those left behind.
Muragucho demands $4,000 damages,
and the defendants named in his suit
are Pierce Bros, undertakers; DR.. M. l..
Moore. DR.. z. G.. White and 7. Furn-
zaWa, a Japanese physician. The ply
sicians are charged with having unlaW-
fully dissected a part of the body and
the undertaking firm is charged with
having unawfully permitted the sur
geOns TO make the examination.
The defendants state that the cause
of the woman's death was uncertain
and that they could not sign death
certificate until they had ascertained
whether their diagnosis was correct.
Their examination showed that death
was due to acute degeneration Of the
liver.

.LLEWELLYN IRON WORKERS
MAY ANSWER STRIKE CALL
Union Men Employed in the Big
Shops Oppressed, De-
ClareS Business Agent

About 800 employees of the Llewellyn
iron works listened to an address BY
c. w. Grow, business agent of the
machinists union, in front of the
Llewellyn shops yesterday at noon.
Mr.. Grow made a speech in which ne
called attention to alleged oppression
of the men who retain their positions
in the big iron mill. His object was
to obtain converts to the cause of the
striking metal workers. 1t is thought
by union men that his speech Will re
suit in a Walkout by a number OF
Llewellyn workingmen today.
a similar meeting was held in front
of the shops of the Lacy iron works.
About fifty men were addressed by %.
II. Misner, special organizer OF the
machinists.
Misner and a number of other local
union men returned yesterday from
Long Beach, where they held meet
ing Friday night. Stanley Wilson and
Fred Spring talked to a large audi
ence on subjects touching the strike.
Representatives of all crafts were
present 1t is reported that the Long
Beach strikers are standing by their
colors and that not one has deserted
the ranks.
Negotiations We're closed favorably
for the strikers yesterday with two
small shops in which nine men were
employed, it was stated at Union
Labor temple last night.
That several of the shops, including
a few ten-hour shops, have conceded
a nine-hour day with a 10 per cent in
crease in pay was given as reason
by the union forces that difficulty has
been experienced in getting some of
the laborers to desert their work.
Misner again denied there is any
possibility Of Mayor Alexander being
called in as an arbiter in the contest.
1t was stated on the part Of the
Founders and Employers association
last night that there was no change in
the situation. All the shops, it is
stated are working under normal con-
ditions and the employers insist they
are not experiencing any difficulties.

HIGHWAY PROBERS
BAR THE PUBLIC
Committee Investigating Charges
Against Commission Has
Star Chamber Session
ALLEGATIONS SAID DOUBTFUL
Advisory Board to Insist on Open
Hearing When Action Be-
comes Formal
ALLEGATIONS SAID DOUBTFUL

The investigation committee appoint
ed by the supervisors to probe the
charges filed by the advisory board
against the highway commission, in
Volving complaints of faulty road work
and mismanagement, held a star cham
ber session yesterday afternoon IN the
chamber of commerce building.
About the first action taken by the
committee was to bar newspaper re-
porters from the meeting, which, it
was said, would be secret and details
of which would not be given to the
press until a later date.
ii was known that members Of the
advisory committee had been called to
give evidence in the case, and these
members, it was previously stated by
Joseph Scott. chairman of the investi-
cation committee, were called 10 state,
among other things whether or not
they had signed the complaint filed by
the advisory committee against the
highway commission. It is known
that two or more of the advisory COM
mittee members had refused to sign
the complaint.
Those who appeared in response to
summonses yesterday were F. w.
Blanchard. A. p Fleming, Homer
Hamlin, P. J. Beveridge George B.
Whitcomb of Glendora, r. G. Bichou-
ski of Pomona and T. J. Walker of San
Fernando. Others including T. J.
Farley, chairman, of Pasadena, were
not present, but replied to the ques-
tions asked by letter. William Null
holland was present at a meeting OF
the advisory committee yesterday
morning, but did not attend the meet
ing of the investigation committee.
Chairman Joseph Scott assigned no
reason for not making the hearing a
Cn1H n
mittee had decided not to admit news
paper men.
1t was learned yesterday, after the
meeting that some of the members of
the advisory committee had been in
clined to question the spirit and pur-
pose of the questions sent them by
the investigation committee, saying the
questions appeared to cast doubt on
the authenticity Of the charges made
against the highway commission.
Some of the advisory committeeman
also said they might later insist on an
omen session if the hearing becomes
formal one. The charges made by the
advisory committee yesterday were re-
viewed by the two committees in the
secret session, but no Information later
would be given out as to What otnef
business was transacted.
"This fight has only just begun said
A. p. Fleming. 81 cannot now discuss
the matter We are simply waiting to
see what the investigation committee
intends - do. 1t has made prellm-
mary investigation. 1t has our charges
before it. Those charges We are pre-
pared to prove, and the half has not
been told.
"Until the investigation committee
has given the public a definite verdict
it is impossible for us to take further
steps"
