ASKS PRISON TERM
TO SHIELD GIRL
Oakland Prisoner's Plea
Against Notoriety of
Probation Rejected
Rather than blight the approaching
marriage of his daughter in Tennes
see by news of his predicament, W. D.
Bowers, civil engineer, pleaded with
Judge Murphy in Oakland yesterday
that he be sent to the penitentiary for
passing a fictitious check, instead of
being placed on probation. He said
that if granted probation the news
would reach his children through the
probation officer. His eldest daughter,
he said, is to be married in January.
The check was for $5 and passed on
a saloon man a year ago. The Judge
finally convinced Bowers that the
news would not be more terrible for
thed aughters than to have him sent
to the penitentiary, and placed him on
probation.

of her," was the tearful plea of the

which would cost htm $12, "but if
that's the case, I'll leftve the machine
with you if you will let me off. She
only cost me $30, anyway."

MORE MOTHERS
SEEK ASSISTANCE
Disappointment in Store for
Most, as Little Money
Is Available
In addition to the 20 cases which
heretofore have received assistance
by the juvenile court, 25 new appli
cations for aid under the recently
enacted mothers' pension bill have
been presented to Miss Margaret Nes
field. the official investigator of the
board of supervisors.
Permanent headquarters have been
established by Miss Nesfle,ld at room
345, city hall, where mothers unable
to support their children may apply.
Under the provisions of the new
law, however, only half orphans under
the age of 14 years whose mothers
have lived in the state for three years,
and in the county a year, can be con
sidered for aid.
As the act went into effect after the
city made up its budget for the new
year, funds are limited, so that little
can be done at present except for the
cases of half orphans already under
the care of the city.
