Through the western half of the United States, into Canada and along the borders of Mexico detectives trailed the conspirators until they finally ran them to earth in this city. When finally captured in an obscure section of Los Angeles today the cries of the men for assistance induced a crowd of several hundred persons to pursue the carriage in which three of them were being traris- ported, and excited countrymen threat- ened to mob the officers, calling them kidnapers and assassins, The arrests were made by Thomas Furlong, head of a private detective ‘agency in St. Louis, where the Junta was for a time established and where the proclamation calling for the over- throw of the present Mexican govern- ment was issued. Furlong was assisted by three members of the local police department. It was stated tonight that while thé men are really federal criminals ar- rested on a charge of violating the neu- trality laws, the use of the city jall was merely an accommodation. The men under arrest are Ricardo Flores Magon, president of the Junta, for ‘whose arrest the Mexican government is said to have offered a raward of $20,- 000; Liberado Rivers, thé secretary; Modesto Dias, editor of La Revolucion, one of the four papers published by the Junta, and Antonio L Villareal ' The latter is sald to have escaped from jail in El1 Paso while awalting deportation on charges connected with the inciplent revolution in Cananea, Mex., about two years ago. LIKELY TO BE SHOT Antonia Lozano, Mexican consul to Los. Angeles, had been actively. gaged In the pursuit of the men now'in custody, but the course that will be followed in their cases probably will be determined by Enrico Creel, Mexi- can ambassador to the TUnited States, ‘who is expected to arrive here tomor-| il akig row. In this cdnnection it was stated unofficially that the men have kap( ‘under surveillance for several and arrested at a time when _Ambassador Creel would be in position to make the proper representation on behalf of his government. No statement relative to his probable could be obtained from Consul Lesano, but it is practi- cally assured that the Mexican govern- ment, under whose orders the St.'Louls detectives have been acting, will make every effort to mm of the revolutionists. “In thts case,” said s : mmuut Mex- loun tonight, “the prisoners will be shot | soon as they set foot on Mexican lolL” P o+ Datecuve !‘nt‘m‘ mfie A Mmant muul LR onnectmn of the Local Octopus With the Old Louisiana lotte‘rjy = N gathering ; evidence against the local lottery combine, which has filched millions from the _public, the agenis of the state and:federal governments have followed the trail of the old Honduras lottery to San Francisco and have estab- lished a connection between the southern and the weslern frauds.

In the accompanying article The Call shows the con- neeting link between the original 'Louisiana loitery, which, after being crushed by federal laws and lack of state support, showed its ‘fangs again under the name of Honduras, and the monster which still exists in San Fran- cisco. In the next article will be given the names of the principal stock holders of the local lottery company and the history of its growth as an offshoot of the old Louisiana. AS!IBTANT n‘roxm.'!

The* fact that:the Clover Leaf had purchased the Chicago and Alton, se- curing complete control of the railroad, ‘was made known this afternoon. The report was corroborated at the office of ‘Theodore ‘P, Shonts, who is still Ipresident of the Clover Leaf, though since he took charge of the Inter-Met- ropolitan he has not devoted much time to its mansgement. s ———— e 2 m “BUCKET SHOP” MEN ufin«wau Aug. 28.—Four al- Chicago and Alton rallroad in a manner | FABNTIC HORDE MY OVERMHELM FRENCH FORGES |Situation in Morocco Is Rapidly Approaching Grave Stage “HOLY WAR” SPREADS | Thousands Flocking From Northern Africa Join Uprising CITIES ENDANGERED Fully 50,000 Desperate Mos- lemis Are Besieging Casa Blanca Special by Cable and Leased Wire to The Call A TANGIER, Aug. 23.—The horde of Moorish and Arab tribes- men surrounding the city of Casa Blanca is growing daily and with startling rapidity, according to re- ports received here.

Grave fears are felt here among the Eurqpeans for the safety of the fore eigners, not only in Casa Blanca, but in Tangier and Fez. The masses of tha people are in full sympathy with the crusade of the Moorish rebels against the “Christian and Jew dogs,” as they term the foreigners, and they are ready to rise in an instant and go to the ald of the pretenders.
