VAGRANCY CHARGE DISMISSED
Ministers and Associated Charities
Figure In the Trial of Invalid
Father

w. L. Bowden, arrested for vagrancy,
was given a lengthy trial yesterday
before Police Judge Chambers, who
ordered the man discharged from GUS
cody. Several clergymen and ply
sicians were In court as witnesses, and
Mrs. Bowden was present with two
tiny tots who did not realize that their
father was in danger of being sent to
Jail because he was too i'll to work.
Rev. A. G.. l.. Trew. Rev. w. H. Dog
gett and Miss Carver of the Associated
Charities told what they knew about
the defendant. They said he had come
to them for work and after Investigate
ing the case they believed that he was
fraud.
Several doctors, however, testified
that the young man was suffering from
consumption, and Willis I. Morrison,
who volunteered to defend the man,
introduced enough testimony to show
that Bowden, while not over-anXious
for work, was not vagrant. After the
trial the kind-hearted clergymen went
to Bowden and told him that they
would try to secure work for him.

John Schumacher. arrested recently
by Los Angeles officers on descriptions

a fugitive warrant charging him with
obtaining money under false pretenses.
1t was alleged that he was indicted by
the grand jury of Cook county in 1903
and then left the state without stand
ing trial.
Mr.. Rogers stated that it was merely
a method of using the criminal law as
a collection agency and that the whole
thing should be fought out in a civil
action. Schumacher was released and
Immediately after was rearrested.
The affairs of Schumacher IL Wad-

FIGHTS FOR HIS VESSEL
Collector Confscates Schooner
"Louv," Alleging Master Sailed
Without Delivering Manifest

An application for an order remov-
ing the case of the former owner of
the schooner Lou of San Diego against
w. w. Bowers, the collector of the port
of San Diego, from the state to the
United States courts was filed with the
clerk of the United States circuit court
yesterday.
Some weeks ago, it is alleged, the
captain of the schooner in question
sailed from the port of San Diego for
a foreign port without filing copy
of his manifest with the collector OF
the port.
Under the United States laws this Of
Tense is punishable by confiscation of
the vessel. This was done by the col
lector of the port and the ship was
ordered sold.
A temporary order was secured from
the state court restraining Bowers
from disposing of the schooner, In
asmuch as the offense was one against
the government, United States Dis
trict Attorney LaWler asked the United
States court TO remove the case from
the jurisdiction of the state court.
The former owner is also endeavor-
ing to have the title Of the vessel re-
turned to him. If it can be proved that
the captain sailed from the port with
out delivering his manifest to the col
lector for San Diego, his vessel is
confiscated under the maritime laws of
the nation.

CONTRACTS EXPIRE SOON;
POSTAL WEIGHERS BUSY
AGREEMENT WITH RAILROADS
TO BE MADE JULY
Data on Average Weights Must Be
Secured by Postoffice Employees
at All Points West of Missouri
River as Basis for New Company

On the first of July the four-year
contract which the postoffice depart
ment has with the railroads carrying
the mail to the states west of the
Missouri expires and new one will
be made.
The basis upon which the new con-
tract will be made, according to F. I.
r. Moore, who has charge of the
weighing of the mails in the territory
west of Albuquerque and Ell Paso, and
south of Salt Lake City, is to be the
weight of the mail carried between di-
vision POINTS.
In the territory of which Mr.. Moore
has charge there are sixty routes or
divisions. These are arbitrary divis-
ions made by the postoffice department
for the greater ease in handling the
mail.
Every four years the men in charge
of weighing the mails have to secure
data from which to compile the aver
ages of weight by which the rates paid
to the railroads are fixed.
Early next week the weighing process
will begin on all lines west of the Mis-
souri,, and will continue for ninety
days, when the average amount of
mail handled will be taken and the
charges computed accordingly.
In the United States there are four
divisions which are called contract Sec
tions. The Pacific states belong to the
fourth of these sections. In order to
determine the charges to be paid to
the railroads an enormous amount of
mathematical calculation is necessary.
The exact amount Of mail taken on or
put off at each little station on all of
the lines is noted by weighers who
travel over the route for that purpose.
The aggregate amount of mail handled
is what the calculations for the COM
pensation for the railroads are based
upon.
After the ninety-day average is Sc
cured and the charges fixed a new
four-year contract will be made by the
postoffice department with the roads
over which mail is sent.
Every train which carries mail will
carry an inspector and weigher, and
several hundred men will be required
for this service

Bond Experts Say Los Angeles Has
Not Complied With the
State Law

have never been dstricted as required
by the state law, Dillon & Hubbard,
bond experts of New York, who are

it is entitled to have legal standing
under the law with the same rights
as other high schools in properly
formed districts.

The young woman failed to act in

Since that time he has been a devoted
attendant and yesterday he claimed her
his bride.
Mr.. Eley is an employee of the First
National bank and both he and his
wife have a host of friends. Upon
their return from q wedding trip they
will make their home in Los Angeles.
