OFFICERS WILL KEEP
BEGGARS RESTRICTED
CHIEF PREPARES RULES FOR
ELKS' CELEBRATION
Regulations Are Necessary for Order
and Not Intended to Cause
Hardship on the
Needy

Chief of Police Dishman is going to
do his part to have Los Angeles in It's
finest condition when the Elks arrive
in July. To this effect he has issued an
order prohibiting beggars, mendicants.
takers and hucksters of all kinds from
doing business in the congested busi-
ness districts.
The object of the order is not to de-
prive poor and needy persons from
eking out a livelihood, but in view
of the fact that the visit of the Elks
will bring mountaineering crowds to
Los Angeles it was decided to start at
once on the cleaning up process. To
this effect boundary lines have been
established and no mendicants or fa-
kers can enter the prohibited district.
The boundary is from Seventh street
north to Temple and from Main street
to Hill street. The order also includes
West Seventh street as far west as
the postoffice, all depots and public
stations and public buildings.
BY enforcing the law at this time it
will give the persons who have stations
in the prohibited district a chance to
seek new locations before the big Elk
celebration. One far-seeing purpose of
the order is that it will prevent a horde
of beggars and takers taking advan-
tage of the crowds that will visit Los
Angeles and ply their craft during the
week of celebration.
1t is assured that Los Angeles will
be swamped by all sorts of takers. and
the precaution of Chief Dishman of
keeping them out of the congested dis
trict will have a wholesome effect and
one that will be appreciated by those
who dislike to be annoyed. 1t will also
make good impression on visitors TO
Los Angeles, who will realize that beg
ging is not essential to a living In
Los Angeles.

in Return of Wanderer to Parents
After Two Days Disap-
pearance

Ida O'Neil, the 9-year-old daughter
of Mrs. Flora O'Neil, who disappeared
from her home, SAG East Twenty third
street, Tuesday morning, was found
yesterday afternoon playing with a
baby carriage in the river bed neal
Ninth street. fn
Detectives who had been informed oil
the disappearance of the girl while or
her Way to school searched yesterday
and learned that she had been spoken
to by a mail carrier at Ninth street and
Maple avenue. The mail man asked
the girl if she was lost. She replied
that she was, but knew the way home
and would go straight home.
When found by Patrolman Dowd the
child seemed alarmed. and when asked
where she obtained the baby carriage
with which she was playing replied
that it was standing outside a house
near her home.
When brought to police headquarters
the child refused to answer questions
In reply to the query as to where she
had been since Tuesday, she replied
that she had been playing near the
river bed all the time.
The case was turned over to HUI
name Officer Reynolds, who found thai
the girl had run away from home OF
several occasions. She said she wished
to go home, but feared her mother
would whip her. Officer Reynolds de-
cided to return the child to her mother
and will look into the case further.
1t is not thought that anyone entlceo
the child away from home, inasmuch as
she has a habit of wandering off and
her disappearances have been reported
to police headquarters at different
times

EXAMINE WITNESSES IN
BRAUNING INSANITY CASE

After hearing testimony for two hours
yesterday in the trial of G. j. Braun
ing, charged with insanity, Judge Will
bur excused the jury and the case was
continued to June 1.
Two witnesses were examined, prl-
vate detective, Gar Johnson, who for
several weeks watched Brauning'
movements, and Mrs Della L. Whipple,
mother of Mrs. Marion w. Garretson,
the woman who, it was claimed by
Brauning during his examination by
the lunacy commission two weeks ago.
had exercised an influence over his ac-
tions.
Detective Johnson said his observa-
tions of Brauning led him to believe
the man was irrational!
"Brauning came to my home several
times" said Mrs. Whipple. Il believe
he was suffering from what | would
term construction of the brain. He
would put his hands to his head as If
to keep it from bursting. He begged
me to write to my daughter at Berke-
lev and ask her to withdraw her infiu-
ence over his acts, an influence, he said,
that resulted in all his business plans
being spoiled.

BELIEVED MAN is CONNECTED
WITH CLEVER GANG
Bonifaces' Protective Association VIII
Prosecute UnreIentingIy Suspect
If He Proves to Be Man
Wanted for SWindIing

That the Southern California Hotel
Mems association of Los Angeles Will
prosecute vigorously the case against
George w. Taylor, who is under arrest
in San Francisco, charged with passing
a forged draft on the Hotel Hayward,
was the assertion of John S. Mitchell,
president of the association, yesterday
afternoon.
That there might be no mistake in
the identity of the man arrested in San
Francisco, Harry c. Fryman, proprle-
tor of the Hayward, left Los Angeles
last night for San Francisco to COM
plete the identification of Taylor
There has been some confusion in
the name of Taylor and the association
does not intend to have the wrong man
palmed off on the officers. Detective
Thomas H. Zeigler, who left for San
Francisco Wednesday night to bring
back Taylor, has been notified to await
the arrival of Mr.. Fryman. Chief or
Police Dishman and President Mitchell
are cooperating in the case.
To Insure Identification
In speaking of the matter President
Mitchell said, There is no doubt that
an organized gang of the cleverest
forgers and hotel crooks that have ever
infested the country are now at work.
In the arrest of Taylor l believe one
or the gang mas Deen Caught we WIN
not take any chances, however, but
make positive assurance of the identity
of Taylor, and that is the reason of
Mr. Fryman's trip to the bay city. The
association has ample funds to back
the prosecution and will not be salts
fled until the gang is broken up and
the members placed behind the bars.
There will be no compromise in the
matter. No matter what the standing
of the guilty party is our association
was formed for hotel mems protection
and protection of our guests"
Owing to the fact that Mr.. Fryman
has gone to San Francisco it is ex-
pected Detective Zeigler will not be
back in Los Angeles with his prisoner
before Saturday.
In the meantime Chief Dishman is
making every effort to locate II. M.
STANLEY. who registered at the Hay
ward with Taylor and disappeared at
the same time.

SUES FOR RECOVERY
OF INTEREST IN LAND
SEVEN THOUSAND ACRES OF
GROVES INVOLVED
Case Is Brought by Matthew Gage
Against Riverside Trust Company
and Has Been Transferred
to Los Angeles

The case of Matthew Gage against
the Riverside Trust company as princi-
pal defendant has been transferred
from the superior court of Riverside
county to the United States circuit
court at Los Angeles.
The case has figured in litigation pre-
viously, having been compromised and
later transferred to the federal courts.
The case involves 1000 acres of the
finest orange land in Riverside and
San Bernardino counties, and is known
as Victoria and Arlington Heights,
valued at $2,500,000
Technicalities, legal and otherwise,
in which the Riverside Trust company,
G. Howard Thompson. the Bank of
California, Thomas Henry Goodwin
Newton, Wilson CrewdSon, Edwin Wa
terhouse, Richard Lake Harrison, VIII
liam Howard Winterbotham and the
Warehouse company, the plaintiff al
legeS, figured, are responsible for the
loss of his interest in the lands.
The land was originally owned by
Gage, also owner of the Gage system
of canals, and he claims he turned the
entire property over to the Riverside
Trust company, which company is in
corporated under the laws of Great
Britain and Ireland and promoted by
Wilson Crewdson. Gage stated his con-
sideration was e16S, 900 cash, 1000 shares
of preferred stock and E38,000 to be paid
out of surplus profits.
Gage alleges the company did not
carry out it's agreement to improve the
land, and he instituted suit, which was
later compromised. The compromise
was that the surplus profits should be
distributed yearly to the holders of pre-
ferred stock.
Gage alleges the company made prof
it's which they concealed. This action,
plaintiff alleges caused him to lose his
interest valued at $2,000,000. He stated
he pledged 1400 shares of stock to G..
Howard Thompson, as trustee, to Sc
cure a note of 100000, which he bor-
rowed from the Bank of California.
Also that he borrowed $4,000 from
Thomas Henry Goodwin Newton of Eng
land as pledge of 1000 shares of stock
and mortgage.
Because he failed to receive dividends
from the stock, Gage says he was UNI
able to meet his obligations, and that
the Bank of California made a ficti-
tious sale of stock to Mr.. Thompson,
and the 1000 shares in England were
lost by foreclosure sale.

inclined to be critical ut first, are now
studying the subject with the intent
OF following her lead.
One of the most ardent admirers of
her anti-noise campaign is the German
writer, Professor Theodor Leasing,

disappointed that her work in New

When Mrs. Rice reached Paris she
found that the fame OF the anti-noise
society had long preceded her. Jour-
naliStS visited her and were enthusI-

idea. One newspaper writer aDostro-
phized her:
"When you have finished calming
the American tumult come to us come
to Paris, for we have need of your aid.
In Paris the tumult grows day by day.
Come, oh, come! Try to obtain from
our authorities permission to suppress,
above everything else, the use of the
strings of changing bells which disfig-
ure the necks OF the cab horses. The
sound Of those bells is rendering us
gradually foolish-idiots, neurotics. BY
and by we shall all be in asylums.
Think of that, Mrs. Isaac l.. Rice!
Think of that and hurry up! We SIM

true that if the present uproar con-
