una relacion de las gestiones que el ha
hecho en- Washington en- favor del pals
durante Ell desempeilo de su importan-

La candidatura del Sr C6rdova Sc

es el criterio unanime de los hombres
de la Alianza Y bien es justo que de-
mos conocer nuestro pueblo, en-
todos sus detalles, las gestiones que el
ha realizado en- la capital de la Re-
publica para que el pals 2precie la ra-
zon que le asiste los amigos del Sr.
Cordova Davila para considerar que
su reelection es tan merecida como me-
cesaria
Antes de trasmitir las manifestacio-
nes que el nos preparaba, creemos opor
tuno hacer una aclaracion pertinente.
Un periodico de esta ciudad ha publ
cado unas declaraciones del Sr. C6rdo-
va Davila en- las que aparece ell Co.
misionado Residente prediciendo ell
triunfo electoral de las huestes socia-
istas y republicans puras. Desde lue

Sr. Cordova no va a predecir su pro-
p'aaderrotar-sL Lo .ucllrrido fJ1e qlle I'm.

Y hablando con e1 lie manifesto al Co.
misionado que elGos, los republicanos
puros y los socialistas, estaban muer-
tos completamente, que serfan compile
tamente vencidos, 10 que Ell Sr. Cor
7dova. como una cortesia para con el
amigo que le acababafl de presentar le
dijo que tai vez no, que ellos tenian
entusiasmos y que no debfa1 desalen-
tarse. Insisti6 ell representante del Pc

to este le replic6 ell Sr. C6rdova
que ESQ no debia tampoco ser motive
de desaliento va que ell dinero no cons

porque tenian entusiaSmos.
Las frases de Cordova, segln el

que asi Sc lie presentaba tan lleno de

FIRE
Raymond c. Johnson Freed on
Personal Bond Here by
Justice Siddons

/ Raymond c. johnson, nineteen.
white, who pleaded guilty to setting
fire to store house belonging to
David FeIdman, at ralxoma Park,
September 8, last, Just for fun.
was brought today Setore Justice
Siddons, in Criminal Court No. /,
for sentence. An Assistant District
Attorney had promised last Satnr.
day to draw up a letter asking for
Executive clemency for the hoy,
but evidently had forgotten to
do so.
. Justice Siddons asked the boy
what he would do IL ne were re-
leased on his personal bond. John.
son said he would go TO his grand.
father who is a Contractor and
builder at Virginia Heights.
This is an exceptional case and
there Is no precedent Cor the courts
action" said Justice Siddons. Il am
going to take this young mans
personal bond: / believe he set fire
to this house from q boylsh i'm
pulse just to see the elre engine; I
don't believe he is a criminal. The
court cannot put him on probation,
the crime OF arson, to which he
pleaded guilty, not allowing pro.
baton"
johnson was released on his per-
sonal bond under the condition that
he report to Probation Officer
Steele at times to be set by this
official.

70 YEARS
FOR ATTACK
on CHILD
Court Cannot See Why Jury
Recommended Mercy in
Accused's Case

Il cannot conceive why the jury
recommended mercy in your case,
said Justice Siddons in Criminal
Court No. today when Thomas q.
Essex, colored, convicted OF criminal
assault, was called up for sentence.
Essex. August 81 last, criminally
assaulted Sylvia M. Tolliver, nine
year-old colored girl, 9151a Second
street southwest, and at the trial
sought to convey the idea that the
little girl was responsible for his
action.
II haven't the remotest idea upon
what basis the jury recommended
mercy in your case. It's inconceiv-
able to my mind that mercy should
have been recommended" repeated
the court when a sentence Of twenty
years in the penitentiary was i'm
posed on Essex.
Joseph Dawson, colored, convicted
Of violation of the Harrison anti
narcotic act, pleaded for mercy when
asked whether he had to say any
thing. Justice Siddons replied: This
court has no mercy for the peddlers
OF dope" and sentenced Dawson to
five years in the penitentiary.
Simon p. Thompson, colored, will
spend three years in the peniten-
tiary for joyriding: Joseph w. Davis.
alias Joe Davis received two.year
penitentiary sentence for stealing
$6S from Rialto Lunch, August 81,
last where he was employed. Harry
e. Murphy. colored, received a
three-year penitentiary sentence for
joyriding and was placed on pro-
baton.
