MAYOR AND CHIEF
TALK ABOUT DOYLE
DUNGEON PRISONERS CASE
INTERESTS MANY
Bread=and-Wat Vagrant Refuses to
Join the Chain Gang and His
Stubbornness Raises New
Questions

Mayor Harper yesterday held con-
ference with Chief of Police Kern rela-
tive to the case of j. Doyle, the pris-
oner in the city dungeon who prefers
bread and water diet to working with
the chain gang
Doyle's case has excited a great deal
of attention and in some quarters
much sympathy has been expressed
with the man.
Doyle is becoming greatly emaclated
as a result of his long confinement in
the cheerless cell, where no light ever
enters, but twice day as the janitor
calls to ask him whether he has re-
considered his intention he stolidly re-
fuses to yield.
Doyle merely says he VIII not work
and refuses to go into details. His re-
fusal is an infraction of the jail rules
and the fixed punishment is solitary
confinement.

ELYSIAN PARK BEAUTIES
WILL SOON BE EXTENDED
COMMISSIONERS WILL INCREASE
CULTIVATED AREA
Decide to Buy Pumping Engine for
Irrigating Purposes--BeautifuIH Hill
side Reservation Is Scenic Won
der Spot Visited by Tourists

The park commissioners at their
meeting yesterday practically decided
to buy a pumping engine for Elysian
park in order to extend the park 8
cultivated area.
This beautiful hillside reservation is
becoming known all over the world
through tourists who visit 1t, and as
Mayor Harper is great friend of the
park system it is thought all the aid
that can possibly be granted by the
executive will be given in support of
the movement.
The thousands of acres of woodland,
canyons, groves and open areas sb.rting
the river are an inviting field for land
scape gardeners, and their opportuni-
ties will be improved to the fullest as
the means allow.
Some property disputes in which the
Hellman and Solano heirs are inter
ested, affecting land adjacent to
Elysian park. will be discussed by a
committee of the board with these
heirs in order that the question may
be adjusted.
The board decided to meet regularly
on the second and fourth Wednesday
of each month at 10 a. m.

TELLS CLERGYMEN
HARD LUCK STORY
Ministers Discredit Tale and Put
Brethren "Wise" by TeIephoning
Ahead That Pathetic Beg
gar Is Coming

my name is Gallager. I'm poor and
needy and have a wife in the High
land insane asylum" is the plant
made by man who has been and is
now trying to work the sympathies
of the clergymen of Los Angeles to the
pitch of giving him money.
Two months ago "Mr. Gallager" was
out with the plea for money to go to
San Francisco and said IL he could only
get there he would be all right and
would be everlastingly indebted to the
ministerial brethren of the city Of the
Angels.
1t was not known by those who aided
Mr.. Gallager" whether he took the
train or walked to San Francisco or
continued to enjoy the hospitality of
the people of Los Angeles,
But this same "Mr, Gallager" has ap-
peared again with somewhat different
methods of procedure, but the minis
ters are suspicious of his sincerity and
yesterday adopted a plan of telephoning
"ahead OF time" to the brethren of the
cloth and their dutiful wives informing
them that "Mr. Gallager" would make
his pathetic appearance a little later on.
IL is thought that "Mr. Gallager''
will decide that the ministers of Los
Angeles are not very liberal, and that
he VIII really be obliged to forget that
he has poor, insane wife at High
land and adopt some other plan for
the blessed privilege of living i'm this
mundane sphere, especially In the An-
gel city.

ing, Must Stay in Jail
Awhile

A writ of habeas corpus recently
sworn out in behalf of the Sanchez
family, the alleged shoplifters now
awaiting trial in the county Jail, was
argued yesterday morning before Judge
Smith in department l of the superior
court, and Attorney E. j. Fleming,
representing the district attorneys Of
flee, won the argument and the pris-
oners were remanded to the custody
of the sheriff to await trial.
The father, mother and two daugh-
ters of the Mexican family were ar
rested by officers some weeks ago and
several hundred dollars worth of silks
and valuables, alleged to have been
taken from the local department stores,
were found hidden in their rooms.
They were held over after examina-
tion in the lower court and the habeas
