tives of Wilson Lee are somewhat puzzled
over the question of bringing the wandere
home. Lee enlisted in Missouri. In the army
while under temporary alteration Nov
that he has recovered his mind. he wishes
to return home, but he is told that he be
longs 10 the army, and whether he will b,
released or not is the question. The prob
ability is that Lees release can be secured
when the proper authorities are advised o.
the details of the strange case. In few
days one of the family expects to leave FOL
Georgia where Lee now is, taking witt
him affidaviss from two physicians, wht
looked into the young mans condition some
time ago.
Gibbon Answers Smith
Attorney T. . Gibbon of the Terminal pub.
fishes in a local paper this evening g
| lengthy statement in answer to allegations
made by President c. w. Smith of the Los
Angeles and Pasadena Electric road. Mr.
Gibbon reviews Mr.. Smiths remarks, TAX
| ing notice of the statement that should the
Terminal be admitted, the present road
would be forced to bankruptcy. Mr.. Glib
bon thinks Mr.. Smiths conclusions drawn
from such a possibility are unreasonable.
Mr.. Smith pointed to the failure of the
Mount Lowe road as the cause for frighten-
ing away capital investments Mr.. Glib
| bon, in reply, points to the annex to the

| ing not SO much from the lack of capital
| DESTROYS of investment as of the lack of OPP
| portunity for such investment. Should the
| present company be forced into liquidation
Pasadena would not suffer, as Mr. Smith
says, but the new road would take its place.
