CHANDLER ASKS COURT
 TO QUASH INDICTMENT
Charging That He Violated Neutrality
 Laws of the United States.

Los Angeles, Cal, March 29.-Harry Chandler, assistant general manager of the Los Angeles Times and owner of extensive estates in Mexico, filed a motion today in the United States dis trict court to quaSh an indictment charging him with having violated the neutrality of the United States by en- tering an alleged conspiracy to throw an armed expedition into Lower Cali fornia.
 Walter K. Bowker manager of a ranch owned by Chandler, the latter's father-in-law, General Harrison Gray Otis, and a number of other Americans joined in the motion, which set forth that no evidence of an offense had been shown and that even if the allegations contained in the indictment were true they were not sufficient to constitute an offense against the United States. The government alleged that Chand- Ter supplied funds to Ba1taZar AVileS, a former governor of Lower California. to finance 8 new revolt there, the money being paid through General B. J. Viljoen, the Boer war veteran. Chandler asserted that the payments were made in good faith in settlement of taxes due on the ranch property and that at the time Aviles apparently was regularly accredited Mexican govern ment officer.
