wOigssts Friendly Aid TO Doyle in PaImy
Days Wins DEBT of Gratitude in Adversely
Stan Special.

STAFF Special.
LOS ANGELES. Cal. July 3d.
Jack Doyle one Of the wealthiest cafe
men in California today paid his
debt OF gratitude to the man who
started him on the road 10 fortune.
The genial sportsman OF Vernon
turned over a mortgage valued at
$500 TO Mrs. Ad Wolgast, wife Of
the former worlds lightweight cham
pion, and he laughed to scorn the
proposal Of Mrs. -Wolgast's business
agents that he accept 5000 which he
had paid Ad for the deed.
This isn't a business DEAL he told
them. "You just tell the little girl
that its a present from Jack Doyle
to his pal and just you forget 10 tell
her that paid anything for IT,"
Doyle bought the mortgage from
Wolgast several months ago when
the ex-ohampion paid a flying visit to
this city. Since that time. plucky
little Ad was adiudged insane by a
lunacv commission in Wisconsin. and
is now confined In an asylum in that
state.
When Ad arrived in this city his
first visit was paid to Jack Doyle.
The men had been firm friends for
ten years.
Jack was quick to perceive that
Ads mind had weakened. but he did
not realize that his friend was 80
far gone.
A story that AID was selling his
property here for ridiculously low
prices sent Jack scuirying in search
Of his friend.
"Just the fellow I want TO see
Jack" exclaimed All. i've got a
bargain for you. I'll sell you this
note for 5000. I want to get some
ready cash quick"
Doyle's eyes bulgod out when he
saw IL was a gilt-edgcd security. bear
ing big interest. and as good as O
note in the bank. Then he realizes
that his friend was giving away his
property, squandering IL FOR a pit
lance.
"I'll take It. Ad," he said gravely
Here's a check"
Ad reached eagerly for the money
and the deal was closed.
The note did not go among jack
Doyle's business assets. Il went y
la private vault. and was labeled
Held IN trust for Mrs. Ad Wolgast'
Doyle's thoughts went back eigh
years. when he was struggling cat'
owner, and proprietor OF a training
club for boxers IN Vernon.
And he remembered the pluck

Filth Facts about Nellys Alley, pub
lished in yesterdays EVENING LEDGER,
caused commotion in City Hall today.
When Chief Robert c. Hicks, of the High
way Bureau, read of the conditions he
sent an inspector to the scene at once, with
orders to make a thorough investigation
Immediately and report that the streets had
been cleaned and the garbage removed.
There is no excuse for such neglect"
said the chief. "A condition such as that
should not exist anywhere in this city for
forty-eight hours, let alone a week"
Nelly's alley. which Is off winton street
near Fourth, is a narrow, evil-smelling hole
dead cat, which had reposed for eight
whole days on a pile of refuse, added its
quota to the sickening, sitting odors that
made the entire neighborhood unbearable
The garbage collector is responsible for re-
moving dead animals said Chief Hicks
II am going to sift this matter to the
bottom"
The Penn Reduction Company, which
holds the contract for removing the city's
garbage denied through its superintendent
that 1t had neglected Nelly's alley or any
other part Of Philadelphia The superin-
tendent admitted that the company should
have removed the dead cat and said that
II 1t could find the driver who refused to
do it, he would be discharged.
State Senator Ware was in Harrisburg
and at his offices in the Lincoln Building
failure of his street cleaners to clean the
street, or his apparent indifference to the
disgusting conditions not a hundred yards
away from the house where he and his
brothers lived for so many years.
DR.. Howard S. Anders, 1900 Walnut
street, who has been the pioneer in the
movement for clean streets. declared that
the contractors are at fault, and that the
revolving conditions brought to light yes
terday have been flourishing for years.
Those places are breeding holes for all
sorts of virulent germs" said Doctor
Anders. tuberculosis, dphtheria and in
fantile paralysis flourish in such districts"
The fine for neglect and failure to clean
streets with the frequency and in the order
required by the schedule is 50 per square
or part square for each dereliction. Neglect
to collect garbage, 81 for each day for each
house. provided the deduction shall not ex-
ceed SO for any one square Failure to re-
move dead animals as required the sum of
SO each, for each day neglected after noti-
fcaton
The Highway Bureau said Il was not
aware of the cat in Nellys alley No one
notified 1t. The residents of winton street
tell another story.
1t is a pity that City Hall was a little
too far away from Nellys alley to know
that the cat spoke for itself.

QUARREL ENDS IN SHOOTING
Mexican Wounded by Fellow Country
man-In Precarious Condition

NORRISTOWN, Pa, June 27.-A f1ght
between two Mexicans on the road near
the Ivy Rock steel plant may result in

friend who is now in the Norristown Jail.
Tony Loivitori. another Mexican, is also
held in Jail as a witness to the shooting. He
was fired at twice by Lauzori, 1t is said,
while acting as a peacemaker and after
ward struck on the head by Lauzori with
the empty pistol. The three men had been
to Norristown and were returning to the
Derr quarres, near Ivy Rock, when quar-
rel arose over a dollar which one had bor-

MERGED CHAIN STORES
TO ABOLISH DELIVERIES
Phones Also Will Go Out Mon
day to Cut Expense and
Prices

The American Stores Company. which
was recently formed by combination Of
nearly all the chain stores in this locality,
bringing together 1925 grocery stores, has
announced the discontinuance Of deliveries,
distribution of circulars and telephone con-
nectlons after next Saturday.
Samuel Robinson. president Of the COM
pany, said the action had been taken for
economy and to help the Government carry
out its war program. He said that since
men are soon to be called for military duty
men in all necessary occupations will be
at premium
The discrimination of deliveries will
throw the burden carried formerly by the
men in the delivery department upon the
housewife.
When Mr.. Robinson was asked IL this
change in plan would mean a cut in prices
he said:
THE American Stores Company is born Of
the idea to reduce prices, and the changes
are being made with that idea in mind.
The consumer, of course will benefit"
Announcement of the plan has been made
by posters at all of the stores of the COM
pany In many cases customers protested
vigorously, but when they were told Of the
purpose of tho plan most of them said they
would. be satisfied to wait and see II the
price reductions actually came before con-
demning the action.
Instead of issuing weekly circulars the
company will advertise in Philadelphia
newspapers. it is announced.
The stores that are included in the chain
system are the Acme, Robinson & Craw-
ford, Bell, Childs and Dunlap. They were
recently merged into the new corporation,
which is said to be the greatest retail gro
Gerry selling organization in the country
with capitalization of S20,000,0O0.
