LOS ANGELES. Feb. 21—The
Magons of the Mexican republican
junta here are undor arrest charged
with using the mail to incite murdej
and revolution. The Magons are lr
reconcileable revolutionists and lead
ers of advanced Mexican radicalism.
They have already been punished
by the courts before although it was
later shown that much of tho testi
mony had been secured by means of
affidavits under very dubious circum
stances.
It is known that powerful Mex
ican interests have been watching
tho Magons and tho arrest is pro"
ably the outcome.
The junta publishes a newspaper
here railed Regeneracion which is a
fearless advocate of Mexican econo
mic independence and Bomo of the
articles are of a very radical nature.
Its cartoons have of late been very
remarkable.
It Is not improbable that articles
in '‘Regeneracion” will be made the
basis of the attack upon the Magons.
