VAGRANT GETS A CHANCE.
After spending a V eek in the Salvation Army workmen's home, Louis Harold Rowe, a hawker, aged 48, came up for sentence at the Police Court this morning on a charge deeming him to be an idle and disorderly person, with insufficient means of support. The police said accused had been addicted to drink and had been hanginc about the city hotels doing little work. Occasionally he did some canvassing. Captain Holmes, of the Salvation Army, said he had been surprised at the way Rowe had behaved while at the home. He had worked well and asked to .be allowed to remain there for a week or two until he found a job. Mr. Hunt agreed to give Rowe a chance to make good and convicted and ordered him to come up for sentence when called upon. . -
