NEW GARBAGE SITE
BATTLE PREDICTED
Thirty Guards on Lake Island
Ready to Resist After Ten
Ousted Men Are Held.
DOYLE SEEKS ALBANY AID

Developments came rapidly Yesterday
inittee of 100 and other Staten Island
organizations which are seeking TO pre-
vent the erection OF q municipal garbage

tractors who have drawn plans for the
building. Following the preliminary
hearing Of the ten men hired by Edward

claimant to ownership Of the property,
who were arrested on the island late
Saturday night. Doyle returned to the
site only TO find thirty guards. sent
BY the contractors. in possession.
Doyle read his deed to ownership
aloud, but the guards were unmoved.
Then he took their numbers-each man
wore a badge-and departed. declaring
his intention to return this morning.
The thirty men. equipped with Ian
terms. held the fort last night. prepared
TO resist any surprise attack such as
that made by Doyle and his little army
twenty-four hours before. There seemed
little likelihood. however, that Doyle's
ten assistants would make ant MOVE.
though all were out on $3.50 hail each.
Doyle said last night that he would
rest until to-day. when he intends o.

As the ompanN intends to maintain

Island predict another clash before
many hours have passed. Doyle hinted
last night hat II his builders meet re-
distance he will make no plea to the
Mayor or the Police Commissioned hut
will go to Albany and lay his case be-
fore the Governor.
DOYLE had possession Of the island for
only a short time Saturday night. though
