PASADENA, May 25.-J. Il. Nc
Gowan, janitor for local church, was
arrested this morning by Constable
Newell on a felony charge, having been
caught in attempting to sell bicycle
thought to have been stolen. The wheel
in question Is a chainless, and Nc
Gowan tried to dispose of It to A. l..
Ryder, the local dealer in this partlcu-
lar make, who knew that the wheel
was missing, the former owner having
so reported to him.
MCGOWAN, ,owever, tells a straight
story and It Is vouched for in all its
details by two or three witnesses,
which may result in his dismissal when
the case comes before Justice Cong
don Monday. He states that he saw
the wheel standing in front of the
place he did ianitor work for during
several days, and that finally at the
suggestion of a neighbor he took It in
side and left 1t in plain view through
the window for n month, thinking that
the owner would come after 1t If it
were valuable enough. Then, as no
one came, he concluded that It must
not be valuable enough to bother with
and decided to take it to Ryder's and
get what 1t might be worth.
MCGOWAN Is an elderly man who came
here from Los Angeles a short time ago
and bears good reputation.

solar observatory on the summit of
Mt. Wilson today and may probably
not do so until his return from the
north, where he has arranged to spend
week or ten days. A bright, sunlit
day is desired for climbing the noun
tain and as the present gloomy weather
is likely to continue some days 1t may
be decided to postpone the visit until
later.
President Woodward today confirmed
the statement made exclusively in The

himself intends to visit the Mt. Wilson
observatory shortly and gives the prob
able time as next fall when he can
witness the setting up of the new tele-
