LOS ANGELES HERALD
JAIL DEATH BRINGS
CHARGE OF ABUSE
Bitter Feeling Aroused Among
Sawtelle Old Soldiers
and Citizens
BEGS VAINLY FOR WATER
Claim Made Suburban Bastile Is
Unfit for Prisoners, Many
of Whom Helpless
The alleged inhuman treatment of
John Murray, an inmate of the Sol
diers' home, by the officers of Kaw
telle, who, it i 3 charged by Murray's
friends, threw him into jail and left
him there to die last Friday, has
aroused a very bitter feeling among
many of the old soldiers and citizens
nf .Siiwtelle. Murray, who had been
drinking heavily, was arrested Friday
night and locked up in the Sawtelle
city Jail, although not booked on any
specific charge. The next morning,
when the officers came to the jail, they
found Murray dead.
Major Foinst A. Russe,ll, another
inmate of the Soldier*' home, who was
locked up with Murray, stated tMtt
Murray died about 5:30 In the morning.
Ho also stated Murray had sobered up
considerably before his death and was
apparently all right up to the very
minute he fell over dead.
An Inquest was held and the attend
ing physician, Dr. (1. A. Fielding of
Sawtelle, pronounced death due to
acute pneumonia.. The body was buried
In the Soldiers' home burial ground.
FTTKOVB CALL IS IIK.AIU)
During the night Murray or some
other Inmate of the Jail was heard
calling in piteous tones for water, ac
cording to several old soldiers, who
were around the police headquarteri
at the time. An effort was made by
them to locate the city marshal and
relieve the sufferer, but they could not
nnd that official, they said. Shortly
after this the calling ceased.
The city officers of Sawtelle clnim
that this calling was done, not by Mur
ray, but by his cell mate, Kusse^l.
They nay that both are old offenders
and that it is always Russell that
makes the noise when under the in
fluence of liquor, and not Murray. The
office™ further state that the two old
soldiers were locked up at their own
request, as both were so drunk they
could not walk the few blocks from
the town to their barracks.
The cell in which the two old men
were locked has no running water con
nected with it and it would be im
possible for a prisoner to get a drink.
Several prominent citizens are greatly
exercised over what they term the in
humanity of locking old men up in
Jail when they are helpless and then
not "paying enough attention to them,
to not even give them a drink of wa
ter." It is very probable that this
action of the Sawtelle police will be
used as a campaign slogan by the
"People's party" in the coming munici
pal election.
1,500,000 LADY BUGS ON
WAY TO MELON FIELDS
Devourers of Insects Are Being
Sent to Imperial
Wells-Fargo Express company was
strenuously occupied yesterday with a
shipment of about 1,500,000 "lady bugs,"
which are en route to Imperial valley
from the state lnsectary at Sacramento
to the southern melon fields, where
they will be expected to destroy what
ever scale or aphis may be threatening
the agricultural products of the valley.
Three consignments of large screened
plates so far have passed through the
Los Angeles office. They ft.re hauled
free by the express companies for the
purpose of aiding the melon growers,
and tho cases are returned free to Sac
ramento for further shipments.
The lady bugs, it is said, are exceed
ingly fond of aphides and other insect
pests which injure melon crops. Their
fondness for these aphides makes the
lady bugs popular with the farmers,
and the Imperial valley melon growers
are said to have arranged for an en
thusiastic reception when their lady
ships arrive at the railway station.
The "ladies" will be escorted with all
due ceremony to the melon patches,
and there allowed to partake at liberty
of the bounteous supply of fat aphides
and similar insect delicacies.

10,000 SLANDER SUIT IS
LOST BY HOUSE PAINTER
Court Decides Plaintiff Was Not
Called a Thief
A large portion of the population of
the town of Watts was present in
Judge Hervey"B court yesterday in con
nection with the suit of J. C. Kean, a
painter, against William Diller, a trus
tee of the city, for $10,000 for slander.
Late in the afternoon Judge Hervey
decided In favor of the defendant and
ordered the plaintiff to pay him $3 for
the costs of answering the suit.
Kean had been employed painting
Diller's house. The latter lost $100, and
he told seven different persons, accord
ing to the plaintiff, that the latter had
stolen it. He asked $1000 damages for
each person the defendant told of his
being a thief, and $3000 on general prin
ciples.

OPPOSE REMOVAL
OF BURIAL PLACE
Counter Petition Is Against Aban
donina Cemetery at
Hollywood
ASSOCIATION GETS ACTIVE
Will Present Argument to the City
Council in Regard to
Interments
The Hollywood Cemetery association
wilt file a petition asking the council to
deny the request of some citizens of
Hollywood and the Colegrove board of
trade that the Hollywood cemetery be.
abandoned for burial purposes. The
association makes the following argu
ment:
The Hollywood Cemetery association respect
fully raquMta your honors to deny the uetl
lijii prtMnUd to you March 10 by certain
I'itlzcnx living mar Hollywood ciTnetery, and
we beg leave t.. submit the following reasons
for not Bruiting lh<;lr request;
The Hollywood cemetery was established on
100 acres of ground carefully selected as beini?
larticularly well adapted to the purpose, whll"
the petition referred to describes the 100 acres
as "level valley land." W« respectfully refer
to the contour map herewith of tho district.
recently completed by the city engineer of the
city of Ijjs AnftlU, which shOWS that the
Hollywood osmetery Is croaned by the "ridge
IJn.•.-• the highest rldgo In that vicinity. This
siune contour map wilt show you that the
oi metery grounds, instead of being level, are
decidedly rolling, just to the proper decree
to give perfect drainage, without any excess
of roughness which might cause wa-shlng.
The sjuld petition (Urtbsr I'ln.scnlK that tho
Interments In Hollywood cemetery have been
comparatively few, whereas the contrary is
the case, tho exact number of Interments up
to date being HO, The number of interments
has Increased yearly since the cemetery was
started, the largest year having been the la«t
year, with total interments of 166. It is In
every niptol one of the leading cemeteries
of the city and county.
The grounds nre beautifully Improved a great
deal of money bavins. DMH spent on them, and
the new muiMramsnt will at ence spend a
large sum In further improvements. It Is at
the pre-ent time one of the most beautiful
cemeteries In the west.
SAYS VAI.IBS NOT niFAIIUSD
As to the contention In said petition that
the value of all property will be Impaired nnd
rendered less available for taxation, we wish
to point out that acreage, lots and bouses
bring as high prices near Hollywood osmeti i v
as any other sparsely settled communities at
the same distance from the business centers
of Los AngelM and Hollywood. Furthermore,
tho said petition asks the prohibition of In
terments outside the area now In use. We
ifully represent that the area now in
UMi If the 01 m-tery affect values, would do
so as much as % larger cemetery.
The Hollywood Cemetery association begs
leave to further represent that hundreds of
the most prominent families of Los Angeles
city and county own lots in Hollywood ceme
tery, and have made It the last resting place
of their loved ones who have gone before. A
partial list of these families is given you
herewith. Their sacred rights are paramount
to any considerations of a few dollars more or
less on the value of the small amount of
property within, say, one block of the ceme
tery.
The identical question was before the supreme
court of this state In the case of Los AngalM
county vs. the Hollywood cemet.ry, and Is
reported in the One Hundred and Twenty
fourth California Heports, at page 3U. The
point Involved In that case wan the question
of preventing the establishment of the Hol
lywood cemetery In that locality. In discuss
ing the right to establish tile same the court
stated: "To provide for the repose of the
dead Is as lawful as to provide for the com
fort of the living," and concluded its decision
by denying the injunction against the Holly
wood cemetery, by which it was sought to
prevent Its establishment. Thus tho question
at issue has already been passed upon by the
highest court in the state.
i I MM- WORK OF ENEMIES
The Hollywood Cemetery association further
represents that those who have taken tho lead
in the preparation of the said petition are the
same persons who tried In the courts to pre
vent the establishment of the cemetery In the
beginning; that they have been all a'ong ene
mies of the institution; that they havo worked
for about two weeks on their petition, but se
cured only 150 names, most of tho names being
those of persons who own real estate within a
block or two of the Hollywood cemetery.
With reference to the point as tv whether
a cemetery is Inside or outside of the city
limits, we wish to state that nearly all ceme
teries throughout the country are inside the
city limits, under the protection of the police
and other departments of city government, and
conveniently located for the residents of the
city In visiting the graves of their departed.
As soon as the intention to consolidate the Los
AngalM city and county governments is car
ried out all the cemeteries now in suburban
towns and villages within a considerable dis
tance of Los Angeles will be within the city
limits.
If your honorable body desires a counter pe
tition from tho friends of the Hollywood MBW
tery, we further show that we could pr.s.nt
a petition signed by practically every man
and woman in the city of Los Angeles, ex
cepl the few signers of the said petition pre
sented to you March 30.
We request a hearing as quickly as poulbte,
secure In the certainty that your honorable
body will emphatically reject the petition to
Interfere with tho cemetery.
WOMAN RENEWS FIGHT
FOR SHARE OF ESTATE
Following a judgment against her in
Judge Conrey's court several weeks
ago, Mrs. Annie K. Bastow, who claims
$4500 is due her from the estate of her
brother, Charles W. Rogers, who died
in December of 1907, commenced an
other action for the money yesterday
In Judge Hutton's court, where the
case had been transferred by Judge
Conrey after he decided to allow a new
trial. •
The plaintiff charges Frank E. Hay
ward, a friend of her brother, with un
duly influencing his mind just before
his death, so that he secured the prop
erty. Hayward claims the money was
transferred to liim for services he
rendered the decedent before his death.
Judge Hutton took the case under
advisement late in the afternoon.

VICTIM OF RUNAWAY AND
TRAIN CRASH TO RECOVER
Helen Howard, 15 years old, of Eagle

Rodgers, and a companion, Lester Ed
wards, was struck by a Santa Fe train
at the Lincoln Park crossing late
Wednesday afternoon, probably will

pital, where the girl is confined, state
she has a chance for recovery and has
shown improvement. Physicians who
attended her Wednesday night after
her right leg had been amputated be
low the knee and her skull had been
trephined in a delicate operation said
the girl had practically little chance
of recovery.
Daisy Rodgers, 14 years old, who re
ceived a fracture of the left collar
bone, and Lester Edwards, 16 years old,
who suffered severe lacerations of
the head and hands, have been re
moved to their homes in Eagle Rock.
BURIED TREASURE MISSING
That John Guess, a wealthy rancher
of El Monte, will not bury his earnings
in the future Is evident from the fact
that while plowing Wednesday he
passed the spot where he had deposited
$1000 in $20 gold pieces last fall, and
upon investigating found that $500 was
missing. Noticing that the dirt around
the spot had been dug up recently, ho
made an investigation and found the
shortage.
