SMOOTH MR.. DOYLE
Chester Anthony Refuses
to Be SquelCl1ed.
Inc EX-Oakland Dude and Japanese
interpreter Pursued by an
Angry Dupe.

chester Anthony Doyle refuses to be
squelched. He hobs up serenely as the
principal in some sort of sensation
everywhere he goes, and that is what
gives Chester so much notoriety.
Twice has Mr.. Doyle become publicly
conspicuous at Honolulu. Thrice did he
startle Oakland society. and once has he
repeated the history of himself at Lahaina,
Hawali-only once. for of Mr.. Doyle the
good people of that place have already had
an ample sufficiency.
chester Anthony Doyle was the first
man in Oakland to part his hair in the
middle. the first to introduce the latest
STYLE Prince of Wales cutaway and the
last to hold any monetary conference with
his clothiers. And for all this Doyle was
looked upon as pure and shining light OF
society and young person destined to
make bis mark, or have his favorite bar
keeper make it for hinton ice."
Chester Anthony has gone blithely
through the world upon the strength and
adamantine qualities of his gall. He
sailed through Oakland society like Blu
menberP's cavalry through the racks of
the strike sympatbizsrs. He penetrated
the home circles of Hawaii and ended up
ny receiving an appointment as japanese
Interpreter for the royal court.
In San Francisco the gay and frivolous
youth, who had turned the heart of many
an Oakland girl, was known as Japanese
interpreter for the United States Commits
slOner OF Immigration. In his official
capacity he did not serve his country as
might have been expected of one so prom
lslng. He was charged with numerous
schemes" for raising more than his fair
share of the poor Japs' stray dollars.
Mr.. Doyle went 10 Lahaina. Some say
no went on a vacation" but others limited
OF overdue accounts that were dreadfully
annoying and disagreeable to Chester An
thony.
On arriving at Lahaina the thrifty young
man noticed that two japanese lab0Iers
were Imprisoned for alleged completely in
setting fire to grain field. j. M. HOrner,
the owner of the field, offered reward of
$500 for evidence that would convict the
prisoners. Doyle set his wits to work and
thought out a way TO secure the fortune.
He took into partnership Japanese
who expressed his Willingness to make a
few dollars. Doyle unfolded his plans to
him and explained that he desired him 20
spend night IN a cell adjoining that in
which the supposed incendiaries were con-
fined The willy interpreter offered to
keep him company.
"Al right" said the Jap. 1--WE will oc-
cupy the cell and listen TO the prisoners
conversation. We will convict them, then
divide the reward"
The plan was accepted. A night was
spent in the prison. and Doyle and his aid
overheard enough TO secure the conviction
of the men.
The case was tried, a1d upon the testi-
mOny of the spies the Japs were sent to
Jail for arson. Doyle went to Horner and
was paid $500 for his trouble.
Immediately after Chester Anthony
Doyle left Lahana and has not since been
heard from directly or indirectly.
The Japanese with whom he had en- tered
into partnership has applied to the au-
thOrties for legal redress. He wants $3.50,
half the reward, and also $40 in coin which
the suave Chester borrowed from him. He
says that he intends having the slippery
Young man arrested, but where is Doyle /?
Well, that is the question.
