PASADENA, Aug. 25.-A young man
giving the name Of William e. Bow
din, wanted in Los Angeles and Pasa-
.dena for OVERRIDING his broad gauge
charity graft, was arrested here this
evening by Officer Coping and locked
up. The man made visit to this city
some four weeks ago. At that time he
told a plausible story of sick wife
and no work. He had to go to San
Francisco-it was a matter of life and
death. He appealed to a number of
church workers. DR.. Hoag and wife
gave him several liberal contributions,
Y. M. C. A. Secretary Sans was deeply
interested in him and as result he
was given a ticket to San Francisco
and went on his way rejoicing. But
1t has developed that he did not go
further than Los Angeles. where the
the ticket found it's way into the hands
of ticket broker and the money there
for into the pockets of the young man.
According to all reports the man con-
tinued his efforts to gain a livelihood
in the same way in Los Angeles and
elsewhere, and finally the word began
to be passed around to look out for him.
He Immediately became shy, shaved
off his moustache and began to lie low.
Yesterday he put in another appear
ance in Pasadena and had as good a
stock of pitiful tales as ever before He
had the extreme hardihood of calling
upon some of the people whom he had
seen at his earlier visit. This time he
has contracted lung trouble and is too
isiclSly to work. The wife back in Los
Angeles is still sick and no money
with which to buy bread. But his for
mer methods of work were remembered
and he was soon spotted by the police
and arrested. He was taken at once
to Secretary Sans and others upon
whose sympathies he worked before
and with little difficulty recognized
by them. He finally confessed that he
was the same person who had received
the ticket to San Francisco. But he
course he did not sell it BIT these
things he will be permitted to tell the
court tomorrow. The officers are quite
jubilant over their capture.
Bowdin is about 80 years of age,
dresses well and is quite prepossessing
in appearance. He wears gold bowed
glasses and can tell a most moving
tale. Members of the police force have
locked their money in the station safe
tonight for fear they will voluntarily
surrender 1t to the smooth young mans
touch.

THE PAST WEEK OF THE WAR.
No Sea Fight as Yet-Linevitch Is All
Ready.


There were few important develop
ments in the far east last week, either
on land or sea- The movements of
both Russian squadrons were shroud-
| ed in mystery. 1t is not yet known
whether Admiral Rojestvensky will
| sail north through the straits of For
mosa and risk encounter with any Jap
anese vessels that may attempt to in
tercept him or whether he will make
for the open sea and seek to reach
Vladivostock by an outside course. The
manifest reluctance of the Japanese to
engage the enemy now that it has en-
tered Asiatic waters leaves everybody
in doubt as to what Togo's plans may
be, and it is a matter of guessWork
as to whether the great battle is to be
in the near future or at some indefinite
day that is far away.
On land there are some signs of ac-
tivity, but seemingly nothing approach
ing preparation for an advance. The
vanguards of both armies are in touch
north of Tie pass and the disorgani-
cation incident to the battle of Muk-
den and the subsequent pursuit has
been corrected. General Linevitch de-
clares that he is ready to assume the
offensive and seems to be slowly feel
ing his way toward the south, but he
meets pressure at every point from the
Japanese and it is evident that he will
make no substantial forward move
ment without encountering active re-
sistance.
So far as is known, the Japanese are
making no turning movement with a
view to driving in either of the Rus
sian TANKS, but there are reiterated
reports that the Japanese are advanc-
ing along the eastern road from Korea,
the evident intention being to get in
the rear of VladivOstock. But the
news of these land operations is notice
ably indefinite and the world is about
as ignorant of them as it is of the
maneuvers of the belligerent fleets on
the sea.
