The Denver has been at the Mare
Island navy yard since December l.,

ther orders which will send her to the

A number of changes have been

The cruiser Chattanooga is being
fitted out at the Bremerton navy yard
for duty in Mexican waters and it is
understood that she will relieve the
Pittsburg about February 10. AS the
Chattanooga is already taking on

dispatched to the lower coast at an

Felix McCrory
Asks For Writ

An application for writ of habeas
corpus, returnable Friday morning at
9:3O o'clock, was signed by Judge
Franklin J. Cole in the Superior court
this morning, in the matter Of Felix
McCrory, colored, who is working out
a $500 fine and 80 days sentence on
the city chain gang. The application
was presented by Attorneys J. F. Sey-
mour, Jr., and Osborne V. Wilson.
The petitioner claims that his de-
tention is illegal and unjust; that he
was brought back to the city Of Ell
Centro without a warrant on charge
which is a violation of mans con-
stitution rights.
McCrory was arrested last Novem-
ber and charged with firing off fire
arms within the city limits. He was
hailed before the city recorder, fined
$500 and sentenced to 90 days in jail.
This penalty, however, was suspended
on the provision that he would leave
the county. 1t is understood that Nc
Crory went to Calexico, later came
back to Ell Centre for few days and
then went to Imperial. 1t was in the
latter town that he was arrested, with
out warrant, and brought back here,
taken before Judge Sprague and re-
manded to Jail to serve out his former
sentence.
1t is understood that this is the first
case on record in Imperial county
where a writ has been asked for on
the grounds that city recorder has
not the right to order man out of
the county. Attorneys Seymour and
Wilson contend that the recorder only
has the right to deport person from
the city, not from the county, and
that the judgment should be enforced
or the suspension should be made
pending good behavior; that the float
er order is a violation of rights. The
outcome of the application for writ
will be watched with interest, as the
present case will be test of the right
to float a person out of town or
county.

Radium Hospitals.
Omitted Press Day SerVl

Omitted Press Day Service)
Washington, Jan. 21.-President j..
M. Flannery of the Standard Chem
ical company told the House mines
committee today an aged millionaire
plans to erect twenty hospitals, cost
ing 100000, for free radium treat
ment of cancer. He said each would
be provided with five grams OF ra-
dium. He refused to disclose the mil
lionaire's identity, but he said it is
neither Rockefeller nor Carnegie.
Mine Commissioner Thomas Hench-
an of Colorado told the committee
that if radium lands were withdrawn
the price of radium would increase
to half million dollars per gram.
He favored state rights and said all
Colorado wants is to be let alone to
mine her own carnotite without fed
eral control or espionage. He wanted
to give prospectors free rein.
Flannery followed Henchan and re-
cited efforts to discover cancer cure.
He said experts were sent to Europe
and found the radium cure effective.
He pointed out that it takes $50 to
400 tons of ore to produce a gram
of radium. Colorado, he said, has suf-
ficient radium "to supply the entire
worlds cancer victims five times over"
He estimated that 200 grams would
supply the American cancer victims.
81 am willing to agree" said Flan-
merry, "to furnish this amount to the
government in five years and at a
lower price than the government could
manufacture it, at maximum figure
of $4,000 a gram"
Flannery declared radium is twenty
five times more valuable for other dis
eases than for cancer. He was posi-
tive it is a cure for rheumatism.
Then was made the statement of the
readiness of a millionaire to establish
chain of radium hospitals.

HOW LOS ANGELES IS
AIDING THE UNEMPLOYED

Los Angeles, Jan. 20.--Herbert Bur-
dett, in charge of the lot cleaning
bureau of the Board of Public Works,
yesterday submitted the board re-
port showing the progress of the
work undertaken by the bureau since
it's opening, about three weeks ago.
In his report Burdett says:
"At present I am compelled to elm
mate as workers all but American cit
iZens who are heads of families, and
| am endeavoring particularly to care
for the very large number of men of
various classes or occupations who
are not able to do the harder kinds
of manual ability, but who are prov
ing their willingness to work to the
utmost of their ability. Through the
kindness of a personal friend, who is
a large land owner, and others, l have
in preparation a plan to remove to
suburban neighborhood at least ten
and possibly 100 families, and give
them start as market gardeners,
with perhaps poultry and other sour
ces of small profit and certainly a
living.
eve have at work today only about
forty men besides the administrative
and clerical force. The rain of the
last few days, of course, almost
stopped our productive work, while
the "overhead' and relief expense
continues. / suggest that you per-
sonally inspect the bureaus store
room and assignment department at
1921 South Spring street. We dis
tribute there, partly in wages and
partly free to the most necessitous
and deserving, clothing, shoes, all sta
pie groceries, vegetables and other
donated supplies.
eve have maintained a shoe repair
ing shop, a clothing repair shop, our
own carpentering department and a
shoe shining stand for those of our
workers who find it desirable to pre-
serve neat appearance. l am sure
that you will find it interesting, and
YOU can there gain first hand infor-
nation as to the necessities of the
people we are trying to help and the
usefulness of the bureau"
Burdett said yesterday that the
overhead employe expense of the lot
cleaning bureau Of the Board OF Pub
lie Dorks would be aDout $50 day
or $3.50 per week.
"These overhead employees" said
Burdett, care all hard up men. They
were given employment in the bu-
reau itself and are deserving. And
it is these men who are carrying on
the work of the bureau under my su-
pervision as executive officer of the
bureau"
The list of overhead employees in
cludes one chief clerk, two bookkeep-
ers, one telephone operator, one su-
perintendent of distribution, three So
licitors, one storekeeper, one grocery
clerk, one cobbler, one watchman, one
pickup man and one Investigator.

Chihuahua, Jan. 21.-Scattered rebel
forces throughout Chihuahua, Duran
go and Coahuila states have been
ordered to concentrate along the rail-
road north of Torreon, Coahuila state,
against which the next rebel move
will be made. The order was issued
personally by Villa, who will lead the
attack. If Torreon falls, Villa is ex-
pected to resume the march to the
capital at once. There is much ex-
citement here over reports that HUI
erta will personally lead the federal
troops.
London, Jan. 21.-The Times says
that movement which it is hoped
may lead to settlement of the fratri-
cidal struggle in Mexico has been
initiated by the Union Hispano-Ameri-
cano of Madrid. The idea is to bring
the united pressure of eminent pub
lie men of all countries to bear SIM
ultaneously upon President Huerta
and General CarranZa in order to in
duce them to agree to an armistice
with a view to holding conference
on neutral ground and so possibly
arriving at some arrangement.
