PASADENA, Aug. 2e.--w. p. Bowdin,
the young man who has been MAX
ing good living by working upon
the sympathies of charitably inclined
persons in this city and Los Angeles.
whose arrest occurred in Pasadena last
night, began q sixty-day sentence for
vagrancy at noon today. At the hear
ing before Justice Congdon, Mrs. p. B.
Hoag appeared for the Emergency
league and as one of the persons Inn
posed upon. desired to prosecute the
fellow for obtaining money under false
pretenses. But the prisoner showed
desire to fight this charge, although he
confessed to asking aims. 1t was
finally decided to accept the plea of
guilty of vagrancy and the sixty-day
sentence followed, without the usual
alternative Of fine.
The wife and two children OF Bowdin.
living at 21571s San Julian street. Los
Angeles, appeared at the arraignment
and were allowed to speak with the
prisoner. It is stated that the Associ-
ated Charities of Los Angeles will look
after the family while the man is serv-
ing out his sentence, although just how
long he may stay in Jail is not def1n-
itely known as the police of Los An
geles say that they want to inter-
view Bowdin as soon as he, is out of
JAN.
Preparations seem to be complete
once again for the dedication of the
fine fountain IN Central park on Satur-
day, September 2. Francis F. Brown,
editor Of the Chicago DIAL will write
a sketch of Mr.. Ensign, founder of the
fund, and Mrs. Turner, president of
the Shakespeare club, will read this at
the time of the dedication. DR.. Conger,
president of the Humane society will
then formally present the fountain to
the city, Mayor Waterhouse accepting
the same and turning it over to the
board of park commissioners. 1t is
expected that Rev. Robert ]. Burdette
will respond for the commissioners.
A. H. Land, president of the Los An
geles society for the Prevention OF
Cruelty to Animals. and by Seward A.
Sin1ons of the Los Angeles bar. There
will also be read a letter from Ella
Wheeler Wilcox and a poem by Mrs.
Elizabeth Grinnell. The exercises will
be of much interest.
Chairman Ed Braley Of the council
committee. to whom were referred re-
cent communications from the two local
water companies relative to the matter
of improvements to the property, has
addressed letters to each of the water
companies which practically throw
upon them the blame for the delay in
completing the sale of these properties
to the city. 1t appears that the admin
istration is ready and willing to con-
summate the deal and get possession of
the two properties, and is calling upon
the Lake Vineyard company and the
Pasadena Water company to furnish
certain information desired by the coun-
ell and considered necessary to a
speedy settlement of the problem which
has vexed the administration and peo-
pie of the city so long and so unneces-
sarily. 1t is to be hoped that these
communications will hurry the long de-
layed transfer of the water properties
to the city
