Talk Politics, Saying Trip
Is One of Pleasure
Purely

Charles w. Bryan, brother of Will
liam j. Bryan, three times Democratic
candidate for president of the United
States, arrived in Los Angeles yester-
day. accompanied by his wife.
1t was the first visit of Mr. and Mrs.
Bryan to Southern California, and the
publisher of the Commoner was greatly
impressed by the attractions of Los
Angeles.
The visit of the brother of the dis
tinguished statesman is one of purely
pleasure, and when seen at his quarters
at the Hotel Angelus last night he re-
fused to discuss politics.
1--WE came to California for recreation
only, and left behind all troubles and
cares. [ do not wish to discuss politics,
but am anxious to return thanks to
Theodore Bell and the other stalwart
Democrats of California who so ably as
sisted us in the last campaign.
LAS member of the park commission
of Lincoln, Neb., am interested in the
parks of Los Angeles. My visit to
Eastlake park showed that the peopls
of California are anxious and desirous
of making arrangements for breathing
places for its population. 1t is a grand
plan, and one that should be advocated
in all parts of the country"
In company with his wife he left Lin
coin three weeks ago. visiting various
places of interest in Canada and pass
ing a few days at the Seattle exposi-
tion.
From Seattle he came south to San
Francisco and arrived in Los Angeles
yesterday morning. After few days
visit in Los Angeles he plans to return
to his Nebraska home by the southern
route

PATROL WAGON AWAKENS
PATIENT WHO HAS BEEN
ASLEEP FOR THREE DAYS

Edwin A. Clark, a clerk living at 1928
South Grand avenue, dropped into
sleep Friday last from which he could
not be aroused, and after vainly endeav-
oriBg to awaken him during Saturday
and yesterday morning Mrs. G. Melon
aid, his landIady, reported the matter
to the police last night.
Patrolman HOllOweII called the police
ambulance to remove Clark to the re-
ceiving hospital. The old hOrse-drawn
patrol wagon was used to move him,
and the jolting of the wagon over car
tracks and ruts in the street accom-
plished what other means had failed, for
by the time the receiving hospital was
reached Clark was awake and able to
sit up. The cataleptic state in which
he was is supposed to have been caused
by tubercular trouble.

"Guess It Will Help the Woman a Bit,

died at 1862 Third street, San Pedro, as
the result of exposure incident to the
saving of two men who were In a

Herald office yesterday and contrib
uted a dollar, which he asked to be
forwarded to Mrs. Nelson.
Evidently he was a man who works
for a living, but his only comment as
he handed over the dollar was, II guess
that will help some. / read the story
in The Herald to the effect that Mrs.
Nelson has been supporting her three
children during the illness of her hus-
band, and feel that it is nothing more
than right that l give what 1 can to-
ward assisting her
II do not wish my name mentioned
and only ask that you forward the
money to assist in the burial of Nelson
or to help his wife"
Nelson proved himself a hero on nu-
merous occasions. Several years ago
he received a medal for bravery be-
cause of work on a burning ship. Later
he was one of three men who volun-
teered to take a small boat through u
heavy sea and rescue two men who
were in sinking skiff off Gray's Har-
Dor.
The task was a difficult one. and the
exposure incident to the heroic act
brought on tuberculosis. which caused
Nelson's death.
During the time her husband was un-
able to work Mrs. Nelson provided for
the family by washing and ironing.
She now is practically destitute, and d
subscription list is being circulated in
order that the hero may receive a de-
cent burial and that the widow may be
cared for.
