LIBERTY HINGES ON TRIAL MOTION TECHNICALITY ENTERS INTO WARM CONTEST Man May Escape Long Sentence in Prison If It Can Be Proved That Preliminary Was Not Neglected The desperate struggle for the freedom of Irving Long, under ten years' sen tence to Folaom penitentiary for violat ing his parole, was begun yesterday when Attorney Fred Thompson filed his bill of exceptions with the district attorney only to have its most vital point vigorously contested. Long is In the county jail awaiting the result of his appeal and tho story in connection with his case is a moat remarkable one. Yesterday, when the bill of exception was Sled, It was found that a state ment had been made by Long's repre sentative to the effect that a motion for a new trial had been made at the time of Long's conviction and had been denied. Upon that one point most of the contest hinges because, If the dis trict attorney's office can prove that there was no motion for a now trial filed, It will probably go hard with Long. Assistant District Attorney Mc (,'omas, who conducted the prosecution of Long-, said yesterday that the crimi nal court record In department one failed to sho-./ that any such motion had been filed. No Motion on Record "I was present the morning Long came up for sentence in the criminal department," stated McComas yester day. "His attorney appeared and asked leave to file a motion for a now trial or made a remark that he intended to file a motion for a new trial and at that moment Judge Smith stated that he in tended putting Long on probation and the attorney for Long: withdrew and nothing further was done about it and no motion for a new trial appeared on the record in the court, so that we will contest that allegation In this bill of exceptions." Long was arrested in the early part of April, 1005, by Patrolman Tyler, since appointed sergeant. He, with two others, wore alleged to have perpetrated a series of highway robberies. Tho gang was known as the "Bull Williams" outfit, and Bull Williams was tried and acquitted. Immedltely following Wil liams' trial Long was taken before the Jury and convicted. In view of the fact that one man had been acquitted of the charge and the other had been convicted when both had been captured together, Judge Smith placed Long under two years' probation and released him. Hides Under Bed Long enjoyed his liberty for nearly two years before disaster camo upon him. The flooding: of Los Angeles with wildcat bank notes caused the police to keep a strict lookout and their endeav ors resulted in tho capture of Irving Long. The young man was taken to the police station and there the handcuffs were removed from him while the offi cers were standing about in the lobby talking. Like a flash Long made a break and managed to get away. He ran to the Empire lodging house, three blocks distant, and hid beneath a bed in one of the rooms while the officers were searching the place. When they entered tho room in which he had con realed himself he drew a revolver and forced thorn to make a hasty exit. While the officers were calling 1 rein forcements Long climbed out the win dow of the third story of the building and dropped forty feet to the ground, crawling more than fifty feet and hiding In another lodging house where he was captured. Long was taken baton Judge Smith the following day on a. charge of hav ing broken his parole and was sentenced to sorve ton years in Folsom peniten tiary. His nppcul is now awaiting a hearing- in the hisher courts. MISSIONARY SOCIETY FINDS IT IS SELF SUPPORTING At the annual session of the directors of the Congregational Home Missionary society of Southern California yester day at the Federation Coffee club re ports were read showing that the soci ety was justified in the belief that It was self-supporting . Heretofore tho money collected in Southern California for church exten sion work was sent to the national Congregational society headquarters in New York for distribution. During the past year this society has raised $234,000 for Congregational interests in South ern California. This includes money for college, church, parsonage and mis sionary purposes. It was shown at this meeting that there are ninety Congregational churches In Southern California and that there are outside fields not yet de veloped. During the past year $11,000 was raised for home missionary work. Ten new churches have been organized and there are forty-seven self-supporting churches in Southern California. For foreign missions $15,000 has been raised, and among other improvements during the year is a church costing $25,000 and a Carnegie library Is being built to cost $40,000 with the same amount of endowment. The officers who have brought this to such a il close are: Rev. George B. Sober. P. P.. Pomona, presi dent; Rev. John 1.. Halle. Las Ange les, secretary; K. H. Herrlck, IMver«lde, treasurer. MAYOR HOLDS UP THREE NEW BILLS DOUBTS THE WISDOM OF TWO HOSPITAL HEADS Thinks Billboard Inspector Should Be Created Under New Law — la Dla. burtlnfl Officer Neceasary for Outfall Bewer? Three newly passed ordinances are being studied by Mayor A. C. Harper, and he may hold them the full limit be fore ho signs or rejects them. They apply to btllbc&rds, receiving hospital and the outfall sewer disburs ing agent. The hitch nn the blllbonrd law grows out of the fact that the council took out tho section requiring that nolle.- b« given all property owttnra In the block before boards aro erected, so that they iKiy have an opportunity to appear be fon Ul6 pOIiCI board nnd protest. Thn billboard men hnd contended that this notics giving was nn expensive job for them, as some billboards only paid a profit of a few dollars a year, and they thought It a hardship. Mayor Harper thinks th<> ordinance which ho fathered providing for tho appointment of a billboard Inspector should be passed If tho council expects him to sign the present bill. In regard to the receiving hospital bill, which provides for the perpetua tion of the two-headed system, strong pressure Is being brought to bear on the mayor not to sign It. The Municl pal li'iigue forces are working against the double boss system. Others are tell ing the mayor that the Republican councllmen merely paid a political debt In passing the bill In such a form. Drs. Garrett and Quint have already been specified as the prospective police sur geons In chief. Tho disbursing agent appointment la held up because the mayor is not satis fied that such an officer is necessary. The pay is high and It Is charged the work was formerly done by a clerk who received half the proposed salary. HEALTH BOARD ON PURITY CRUSADE ALL DAIRYMEN MUST OBEY THE LAW Members Will Visit More Dairies Un. expectedly to See That Clean. liness Prevails Among Ranches In a few days the board of health will make a quiet auto trip into the dairying sections around Los Angeles to get personal knowledge of condi tions. On a Sunday several weeks ago ten dairies were examined and the dras tic scoring these dairymen got still lingers in the minds of the milk trade men. Mayor Harper's board has determined to insist on pure milk. It has added to its force of inspectors and called of fenders to trial to emphasize the cam paign. Inspectors who appeared before the board Wednesday afternoon announced that by the next meeting they ex pected to summon a half dozen dairy men at whose places flagrant viola tions of the law had been noted. Dr. L. M. Powers, health officer, Is making personal Inspection here and there and keeps his auto going Into places unexpectedly to learn actual conditions. One common cause of complaint at dairies is that milk houses are not screened against flies. When cesspools or vaults are nearby there Is great danger of contagion being carried. Only recently a number of typhoid cases were traced to flies which had passed between an outhouse and a milk house, the patients being consumers of this milk. MUST INSTALL BIG SMOKE STACKS Laundry and Creamery Get Permis sion to Put in Engines Condition ally — Gas Company Must Get Permit The Magnet steam laundry at 1148 Crocker street obtained permission yes terday from the fire commission to put in a gasoline engine, but It was de cided that the health department should make an examination of the premises to see if all the sanitary laws are com plied with. Tho laundry was also di rected to erect smoke stacks at least seventy-five feet high. The Crescent Cream company at 241 Winston street also got authorization to Install an engine provided a 75-foot smoke stack was installed to carry off tho smoke. The fire commission has notified tho L(M Angeles) Gas and Electric company tlmt It muHt «et puitnlts for the two horse power boilers that are now In use at the plunt. The company made an application for two more boilers at 820 Center stroot and 600 Center street, and the permits •were granted only with the understand ing that permits shall be obtained for all boilers at once.

Battalion Chief Charles B. Casey filed formal charges against Lieut. L. H. Davis yesterday, and through this the story leaked out. The lieutenant and his men played poker one night and kept up the game till 5 o'clock in the morning-, it is alleged. One of the poker players went out doors and bor rowed money from a patrolman to Btay in the game. It is alleged that on a previous occa sion Davis had played. This violation of the rules put him at the mercy of the men, and necessarily he could no longer enforce discipline in the quar ters after that. Davis tried to get a transfer' so that in another house he might start with a clean slate, but the commisison preferred to try the charges. It appears the all-night poker game took place while the captain was ab sent and on payday. It was April 1. A friendly game of freeze-out started the gaming instincts of the crew. They grow reckless and put up 10 cents each. Several East sidt; residents also parti cipated lv tho gamo. Hosoman C. M. Cox was yesterday dismissed for failure to return to work. Hoseman William B.

The civil service commission has been asked to cull a new examination for hosemen, engineers and drivers. » » » THINKS $16,000 IS ONLY A MERE TRIFLE By Associated Press ROME}, April 14.— Oabrtele D'Annun elo, according to the Meseagerio, has refused an offer of $16,000 to deliver eight lectures In South America.
