The boarders all like fresh veg

Beginning next SEASON. e IS
there is drouth-the New Prison
farm will furnish plenty of veg
etables of all varieties including
celery. And celery is good for
the nerves. Moreover, it does not
have to be cooked or steamed.
The tomatoes also promise to be
plentiful. The strawberry crops
ought to be bountiful hereafter
and other berry crops may come
along. So the prospects for bet
ter feeding are much brighter than
ever before.
Until about year ago the print
shop was employed about two days
a week in printing tags. Now it
requires from three to four days a
week to furnish enough of them.
The printing required in all other
has increased proper
tionately, but the number of print
ers employed is less than before.
However, for the past year or more
h e printers have been earning
fair stipends. Two printers set
up the type for The Mirror and do
considerable other work instead of
three and four as formerly. Thus
it will be seen that the printshop
is in the forefront of progress, do
ing its share to keep up with the
procession. There is colored
chap in the printshop who is

The DoxoIogy of Lepers.

Children Of death are we,
Marked by o strange disease,
Shadows passing silently,
Hopeless and mute to eternity
OF all that is vile, the lees
Treading path of gloom,
Awaiting deaths dawn to rise,
To know no peace outside the tomb,
Yet praying to God despite the doom
And the burden of wasted lives.
And this is the prayer we raise,
This the cry of us all,
When Charon steers us out on the ways,
May the soul that the call of God obeys-
Be freed from the leprous thrall!

TRIES To RAILROAD AGED
WOMAN To ASYLUM
Court Threatens Prosecutions for
Periury-CouIdn't Sup
port Mother-in-LaW

The pitifulness of dependent old age
was shown yesterday when Mrs. Theo-
dosia Thayer, IS years old, was tried
before Judge Houser of the superior
court and the lunacy commission on
the charge of being insane as the re-
suit of a complaint to that effect hav-
ing been sworn to by her son-in-law,
G. M. Helvie of 1909 East Seventh
street, Long Beach.
Helvie in swearing to the complaint
by which he would have placed his
wife's aged mother in the insane
asylum, declared that the woman ac-
cused her daughter of stealing and of
trying to starve her.
1t developed at the trial that there
was nothing wrong with Mrs. Thayer's
mind, despite her old age, and that
all of her faculties, with the excep-
tion of her hearing, are in excellent
condition, her memory being especially
keen,
Mrs. Celeste Helvie, Mrs. Thayer's
daughter testified that she thought
her mother was insane because of her
being so restless and wakeful at nights.
Her evidence made little impression
upon the court, however, when DR.. e.
M. Freeman of Long Beach told of
knowing Mrs. Thayer and doing what
he could for her for the last four years.
He said that whenever he saw Mrs.
Thayer she told him she was hungry
and he said Mrs. Freeman often had
taken food to the woman.
e. H. Hutchinson, an attache of the
insane ward of the county hospital,
told of Mrs. Thayer's almost ravenous
condition and declared she had no diff
flculty in sleeping at nights there. He
said she went to sleep without any
trouble after eating a hearty meal.
Mrs. Thayer proved to the satisfac-
tion of the court that there is nothing
wrong with her mind and that she suf-
fered only from deafness and hunger.
She told many cidents of her girl
hood, which was passed in Ohio, with
such wealth of detail that there was
no doubt of her excellent memory.
Judge Houser asked Helvie why he
had declared his mother-in-law insane
and received the answer, "Well, it's
an imposition to expect me to care for
everybody" The judge said, We'll,
We'll take care of her, them and or
dered that Mrs. Thayer be taken to
the county farm at Workman station
between Los Angeles and Long Beach,
1t is not unlikely that stringent
measures will be taken soon in such
cases. Judge Bordwell said not long
ago that there will be prosecutions on
the charge of perjury if people do not
cease swearing to insanity complaints
when there are no grounds for them

DESERT SUNS ILLUMINE
MAYOR ALEXANDER'S NOSE
Aqueduct Trip Rigors Mar Chief
Executives ProbosCis

Visitors who entered the mayors Of
flee Yesterday were greeted by the
chief executive with one hand over his
nose. The visitors did not know
whether the mayor had just been 1ni-
tiated into some new fraternal organ
ization and was practicing the high
sign or whether he was soothing an
ache in his proboscis. But neither of
these explanations explained the real
cause.
The mayor held his hand over his
nose for two reasons, one because II
was sore and the other because ne
feared that people who saw him might
believe he had been consuming large
quantities of a product for which his
native Scotland is famous. He re
turned yesterday from a trip on the
aoueduct and while on the trip the
sun and wind and the sands of the
desert had done things to his nose that
made him look like a Dutch comedian
in a vaudeville sketch. The mayor
nose is not the modest, retiring kind OF
a nose that it might be and 1t made
target with which the elements mad
lots of fun.
But in spite of his sore nasal organ
he saws he had good time and is
glad he went. He Travelled as far north
as Bishop and found the work OF build
ing the aqueduct all it has been re
ported to be.

SISTERS WAR IN COURT
OVER THE JUNGLE RIGHTS

The case of two sisters, Ethelyndal
McMullin and Eunice NJ. Walker, who
are opposing each other as to which
has the right to stage THE Jungle
a dramatization of Upton Sinclair $
novel of the same name. was continued
yesterday by Judge Monroe, OF the
superior court. until December 10.
Miss McMullin recently filed the SUIT
against her sister, asking that the lat
ter be restrained from interfering with
her production of the play in any way.
She declared that she had obtained the
manuscript of the play and Sinclair 8
permission for its production on the
Pacific coast by mail and had made all
preparations to stage it, going to an eX-
pense of $1,000, with the prospects OF
profting to the extent of $25O9, when
she found that her sister was telling
everybody that she was the one who
had the right to present the play and
not the plaintiff.
Mrs. Walker, in an answer, declares
that she began the correspondence
leading to the acquisition of the rights
for the plays presentation but became
ill and had to go to a hospital before
completing what she started out TO DO.
While she was i'll and unable to help
herself, she alleges, her sister took up
the correspondence and obtained Sim
clair's permission. To do that, she as
serts, Miss McMuIlin used the name of
f. McMullin, a cognomen commonly
used by both of the sisters, who are
actresses. 1t was by that name thai
Mrs. Walker began the correspond
ence, she says and 1t was under the
same that her sister continued it.
It Is intended to stage the play at the
Labor temple for week in the near
future for the benefit of the union la
boY, OF Of An0alpS The conf
pany to play it is headed by Viola
Barry, who is the daughter of J. Stitt
Wilson, the socialist candidate for gov
ernor of California.
Until recently the sisters lived to-
gether at Hollywood.

SAYS STORY OF STRIKE
ON AQUEDUCT IS FALSE
Chief Engineer MuIholIand De-
CIares Men Are Well Sat-
iSfied with Work

William Mulholland. chief engineer
of the aqueduct. yesterday denied that
there is any general strike on the aque-
duct or that any unusual number of
men have ceased work. He returned
yesterday with Mayor Alexander from
a trip along the line of the big con-
duit and reported that the men ap-
peared satisfied and were working with
usual Vigor.
1t has been stated that there was a
general strike at the north and south
portals of the Elizabeth Lake tunnel,
occasioned by the advance of five
cents a meal at the Desmond camps,
which went into effect November j.
In fact, a delegation of miners from
the Elizabeth Lake division waited on
the board of public works few days
ago and declared that f their wages
were not advanced to meet the ad-
vance in the price of meals a general
strike would be declared. The board
told the committee that nothing would
be done in the matter until Mr.. Null
holland returned.
"I mad a telephone conversation with
the superintendents of the north and
south portals, not two hours ago. SAID
Mr.. Mulholland late yesterday after
noon. "They reported there was no
trouble among the men ana none was
contemplated We have about 5000
men at work along the line of the
auueduct and of that number there
are about 200 who have recently quit.
but that is not an unusual number for
this time of year. When cold weather
begins to approach a number of them
prepare to go elsewhere"
Mayor Alexander said that while he
was on the aqueduct trip he had
heard some talk of a strike, but did
not see much evidence OF it.

News of the Courts
FIVE DIVORCES GIVEN;
5 NEW ACTIONS FILED
Court Frees Woman Who Testi-
fies Spouse Choked, Struck
and Neglected Her

Five divorces were granted and five
new actions for DEGREES were filed yes
terday in the superior court.
Judge Church of Fresno freed M.
Blanche Wiekland from John w. Wick
land, whom she charged with cruelty.
Wickland recently alleged that his wife
was guilty of infidelity, with the result
that Judge Church gave him severe
lecture.
Maud NJ. Topper was given decree
from George Topper after she had told
the court that her husband had been
cruel to her, that he drank, that he
choked her and knocked her down, and
that he failed to provide her with the
necessities of life.
Proof of cruelty on the part of Reph-
alius B. Pegeram by his wife, Marie E.
Pegeram, gained a decree for her she
detailed in court the anguish she suf-
fered when, at his request, she met
him in Texas, where his duties as traY-
cling salesman took him, only to be
told that he had ceased to love her and
already was 'lavishing his affections
upon another woman"
The same Judge freed Elizabeth j.
Keyes from Frank M. Keyes. She de-
clared that her husband left her for
three days with nothing to eat except
a few cold potatoes. She said that
once when there was no milk for
breakfast, because he had given her
no money with which to buy it, he be-
came terribly angry. She said the
reason for the barrenness of the larder
was his drinking so much that he
could not obtain steady employment.
She averred that in the last year he
had had as many as twelve different
jobs.
Judge Conrey gave a decree to Me-
lissa E. Richey from Charles E. Richey
