DECLARES WOMAN
NOT M|STREATED
Further Testimony Given in Case
Where Custody of Mrs. Maria S.
Bowman Is Cause of
Contention

That his grandmother had made him
a present OF three lots, nearly six
months after he had sworn in court
that she was incompetent, is the way
Fred D. Samuel explained having more
than $1,000 worth of Mrs. Maria S. Bow
mans property in his possession.
But the attorneys for his sister, Sister
Minnie Bowman, assistant preceptress
of the Ursuline convent at Fond du
Lac, Wisconsin, believing that he eX-
ercised inordinate persuasion of one
kind or another over the old lady, will
ask the probate court to set aside the
transfer of the lots.
Samuel was appointed guardian of
Mrs. Bowman on November II by the
probate court, on a petition signed by
himself and three or four others,
Last Thursday several members of
the family, including Sister Minnie
Bowman, appeared before the probate
court to have his guardianship set
aside, alleging that he was i'll treating
his grandmother, and that he had
forced her to make win leaving him
all of her estate, valued at $4,000.
John Bowman, uncle of the defend
ant in the present proceedings, and a
son of Mrs. Bowman, whose property
is the real bone of contention of this
family row, testified yesterday in favor
of the defendant.
He said that his mother was perfect
ly happy at her grandson's house and
did not want to be taken away to a
hospital or elsewhere.
Bowman testified also that he had
cooked all of his mothers victuals,
because he knew best how to prepare
the German dishes that she liked.
The case will probably continue for
several days more.

What Do They Cure?

The above question is often asked con-
cerning DR.. Pierce's two leading medi-

Ihe words of praise bestowed on the
several ingredients entering into Doctor
Pierce's medicines by such writer's should

such men are writing for the guidance of

they speak.

WHITE WAY LAW
STRIKES A SNAG
STRONG SENTIMENTD DEVELOPS
AGAINST MEASURE
Illuminated Signs Declared to Be
Merely Aerial BlIIboards, Which
Are Unnecessary in Well
Lighted Los Angeles

The white way" ordinance, in
spired by the electric companies which
are fighting the Owens river aqueduct
fearing, the city will cause a reduction
of lighting charges by introducing 95,-
900 horsepower through the conduit,
was not introduced in the city council
yesterday.
Opposition has been springing up
against the proposed law so suddenly
that it may never be brought before
the council.
A strong sentiment has developed
that the measure is merely an evasion
of the billboard law-proposing to do at
night what the city is trying to stop
by day.
Electric Illuminated signboards,
swinging devices and the like obstruct
the skies, whereas billboards now OBJ
struct the view nearer to earth. The
city will get no revenue and the Los
Angeles streets are now regarded as
the best lighted in the west.
The council named committee of
three to further consider the proposed
legislation yesterday-Messers Yonkin,
Wren and Wallace.

STOPS RECKLESS
BUYING FOR CITY

The much talked of requisition ordi-
nance, which provides a penalty for
chiefs of city departments who buy
goods for the municipality without
proper o KS from the council or sup
ply committe, was passed yesterday by
the city council.
Only in specifically. defined emer-
gencies can goods, supplies and ma
terials be purchased in future for city
needs. Lest contractors forget, the
emergency clause just passed will be
printed on each blank, so that the
merchants need not sell goods blindly.
Auditor Mushet was present at yes
terday's session and both he and Coun-
Gilman Wren, who is chairman of the
supply committee now feel that nine
tenths Of their work will be done away
with hereafter. Ninety per cent of the
demands and acquisitions presented to
them have been irregular.

Earce-comedy at Fischer's

Harry Montague's comedy, "Jingo'S
Daughter" was a success at Fischer's
last evening. The piece is humming
musical comedy, interspersed with
many of the latest song hits and clever
dances. The play is laid in San Fran
cisco bay, about two years ago, among
the oyster pirates. The name role is
taken by Gladys Middleton, who has
many troubles because of two love af-
fairs on hand at one and the same
time The character of Jingo's wife
is taken by Caroline Duncan. Billy
Onslow is seen as Jingo. Lew Dun
bar is the leader of the band. Mile.
Lorraine is the niece of the pirate.
Dick Burton is a raw cowboy from
Idaho. Harry Montague carried away
the house with his personification of

Pfeiffer was discharged and Shea was
fined SIS or fifteen days.

City Attorney Hewitt told the city
council yesterday that he found himself
unable to comply with the recent reso-

vision was involved be referred to that
department for jurisdiction.
The council on May 20 asked Mr..
Hewitt to prepare an amendment to

MEXICANS ARE COMPELLED
TO STAY IN PRISON

NJ Sambrow and John Ramirez were
the principals in a general row in the
Mexican quarter Saturday night.
After Strengthening out the many
kinks in the tale of the highly exciting
proceedings of the ''jolly-up," Justice
Austin decided that the leading actors
should pay fine of SIS or stay fifteen
days in the city bastile. The crest
fallen Mexicans preferred to do the
latter.
They had no choice, for they said
some fair senorita had relieved them of
