"TEDDY BEAR"
MAN IS GUEST

Arrested on Warrants

FRAUD IS CHARGED

Out of Money •
PRISONER, RETICENT
Refuses to Discuss Case and
at First Denies His
Identity
Junius Powell Bowden, the
original "Teddy Bear" man and
scion of an honored Detroit fam
ily, languishes in the city prison
with charges of embezzlement
and obtaining money under false
pretenses marked against him on
the prison register. Bowden is
accused of having swindled two
men of his home town out:: of
$2,250. He was arrested by De
tectives Bunner and Matheson as he
was strolling: along Flllmore street,
near Pajtr«\ yesterday afternoon.
Bowden, who Is said to be the In
ventor of the "Teddy bear." Is be
lieved to have accumulated consider
able wealth from the novelty. He was
known as a high liver In the «ast and
always mingled with the smart set
Since his arrival in this city Bowden
has attracted a great deal of attention
In Van Ness awnue and other thor
oughfares where he. was wont to prom
enade. During- his short stay here he
has gained his way Into the good
graces of persons prominent in the
financial and social world./; \
Some weeks ago the police of Detroit
notified the local officials that Bowden
was headed this way -and requested
that a sharp watch "be -kept for^hlm. It
was not until yesterday that he was
sighted. \u25a0'•
According to the information re
ceived from Detroit. Bowden is charge!
•with having: embezzled $1,000 from Ed
ward E. Rouech last April. The latter
avers that Bowden interested him In a
scheme to supply the country with
Teddy bears and that he advanced
11.000 to help finance the scheme. .Hs
further alleges that Bowden failed to
make any returns for the "money.
The other Detroit man with a griev
ance against the Teddy bear creator Is
Homer J. Johnson. According to John
son's story. Bowden tried a new scheme
on him and Induced him to invest % 1,250
In the Pexnberthy injection company, a
concern which Johnson alleges was
without financial becking.
' According to Johnson, he was hon
ored with the high sounding title of
•vice president and secretary of the new
company in return for his money. He
: says that the company went to the wall
a few days after he assumed his duties
! and with its collapse Bowden disap
peared.
When Bowden was tapped lightly on
the shoulder yesterday by the detec
tives and told to accompany them to
the police station he at once assumed
a haughty air and insisted that the
> officers had made a mistake. But, Eec
! ing that they were persistent and de
\u25a0 maaded the pleasure of his company,
: Bowden consented to make the trip
i dowir town, and on his way to the city
\u25a0 prison admitted his Identity.
But farther than this Bowden would
not proceed. Smilingly he announced
that he had nothing to say until after
he had consulted his lawyers. He was
cool end collected and did not appear
in the least disturbed when the jail
door clanged behind him.
Bowden is about 30 years old, hand
some, well bred and wears clothes that
would attract attention on any boule
vard. He refuses to say how long he
has been in this city.
Bowden has the distinction of being
the man who started the Teddy, bear
craze some time ago. He is believed
to have accumulated a vast amount of
money by. hit novel creation, and ig
said to have spent -it as freely, as Ihe
made it. According to the police, Bow
den is well known in . all . the * larger
cities throughout the cast and middle
west.
Bowden is connected with a wealthy
and prominent family of Detroit," and
rumor has it, that he was once a very
popular social favorite there.

The testimony or the officials of .the

inquiry -into the details of the bribery
of the 'board of supervisors by this
company shows that the defense to be
made vby the 'mdicted;. officials when

on • the contention \u25a0 that they were not
guilty of ; passing bribe money, but
that \ Ruef i extorted funds » from Tthem.
