And they thought nobody'd

But park policeman saw them
from afar, and he strained his eyes
and decided-no, those weren't

he told someone else, and that fell

WATER SYSTEM IS
TAMPEREO WITH
AGAIN

Contractors and the city are
still having trouble with the water
system. Monday night some one
unscrewed the headgate in the big
22-inch main in the West End,
which is being laid by Contractor
Savage, and allowed the water to
rush out until the West End had
practically no water service. 1t
also caused several hundred dol
lars worth of destruction to the
trench for the pipe line.
The administration has been
bothered much by breaks and
failure to get machinery this year
and these additional annoyances
have stirred up the commissioner
to the boiling point. Advocates of
the administration insist that all
these annoyances are caused by
the gravity water fellows to dis
credit the well system.
Gravity water advocates say this
charge is silly and that the prob
abilities are that the vandalism is
due to spite against the commits
sioner or mayor on the part of
some one who has been refused a
job or who has been discharged.
The Monday night affair caus-
ed lot of damage to Contractor
Savage, however, and he is after
the fellows who did it. He offers
500 to find out.

Fred E. Fars Arrested After Vain
Effort to Secure Money in Hard
ware Store-Refuses to
Discuss Case

Consistency is apparently one Of the
assets of Fred Z. Faris who was ar
rested by Detectives Murray and Nc
Cam yesterday on a charge of forgery.
According to the police the accused is
said to have passed dozen forged
checks, each of which was for $21.4O.
FaIis, who refused to discuss his case,
was arrested while trying to pass
check for S21.4O on the FriCk- Fleming
Hardware company, 124 South Spring
street. Since his capture other checks,
all for the amount OF S2l. 40, have turned
up and each is declared to be for
gerry.
Faris, according to the police, is a
clever forger. He made q practice Of
passing checks on various merchants
by representing himself to be mem
Der of a plumbing company.
His system was to fill out the check
for $214O and sign It with a rubber
stamp bearing the name Of the BabcoG3k
Plumbing company, per c. II. Babcock.
The c. H. BabcOck was written in ink
on a dotted line for that purpose.
The detectives have been working on
the case for the past seven days, as
numerous complaints had been received
from the banks. When Faris entered
the hardware store and attempted to
cash the check the suspicious of the
men were aroused and they telephoned
to the police, keeping Faris In the store
and engaging him in conversation.
Faris became suspicious, and when
the officers We're about to enter the
place attempted to escape and ran into

ANCIENT SCRIPTURES
WILL ARRIVE IN LOS ANGELES
EARLY IN SEPTEMBER
Theosophlsts Believe in Law Of Karma
and That of Reincarnation,
That Physical Bodies Are
Like Mantles

Mrs. Annie Besant, who is due in
Los Angeles the first week of Sep
tember, is by many well informed
persons thought to be one of the fore
most women of the world today. Much
of her life, in her own words has been
amidst the storm of public SANDER op-
position and criticism. She Is an Eng
lish woman, born in 1S41 in London, az .
though quarters of her blood and
all of her heart is Irish.
Her childhood was one guided by the
fondest of mothers, who shielded her
from all knowledge of the world and
who guided her, as she believed rightly,
to the union with clergyman of the
pronounced and rigid orthodox beliefs
AS a result of this union two children
came to Annie Besant, but the breach
between the ever diverse husband and
wife only grew wider. She as a loving
girl had weayed a web of ideality
around the young minister, but in q
short time the husband, in the bigotry
Of an unnatural and dogmatic theology
became harsh and cruel to the child
mother, and they were finally legally
separated.
To this domestic infelicity was added
the mental anguish arising from a
gradual loss of faith in the religious
fabric to which, in her youthful ardor
she had attached herself From this
period dates her friendship with the
brilliant Charles Bradlaugh, whom she
met at a Sunday lecture in a Free
thought hall These two became great
friends, and Mrs. Besant was made as
sistant editor on Bradlaughs National
Reformer.
AS a writer and lecturer she began
the championship of thought. In
her own words she said: Il had against
me all conventional beliefs and tTadi-
tions of society in general, and I at
tackled them, not with bated breath and
abundant apologies but joyously and
defantly with sheer delight in the in
tellectuaI strife"
