-Four Divorce Suits

The divorce suit of John Wesley Wilson
vs. Abbie G. Wilson was tried before Judge
Clark yesterday. A decree is asked on the
ground of desertion. After hearing the
evidence the judge took the matter under
advisement.
Mary S. Smith sued Alfred T. Smith for
divorce on the ground of extreme cruelty.
The case was heard behind closed doors,
by Judge Mckinley, for the reason that
the evidence was of that kind which is des-
cribed as unfit for publication" The
plaintiff failed to make out her case and
the court found for the defendant.
Judge Mckinley also tried the divorce
suit of Mary Neville against John Neville,
decree being asked on the ground of de-
sertion. 1t went by default, and the decree
was granted.
Alice G. Sturdy was given divorce from
Robert A. Sturdy by Judge York. The
charge was cruelty, and the wife made out
a strong CASE. Sturdy is blacksmith,
living on Boyle Heights. and it was shown
that it was a common practice to beat his
wife. besides being guilty of other acts of
cruelty too numerous to mention.

UP 70 THE 100000 MARK
ANNEXATION COMES BY A VERY NARROW
MARGIN
Only One Ward Inside the City Went Against
the Proposition and Vernon Precinct Re-
versed ltself-A Very Light Vote Wss
Polied

Greater Los Angeles is reality after q
fiercely fought contest between the two op-
posing factions IN the proposition covering
period of over eighteen months, during
which another election was held and
through the votes of the people In the ter
ritory it was intended to annex, the idea
was turned down. A bare majority of
twenty-three yesterday reversed the pre-
vious result, and as consequence Los An
geles has today nearly $4,000 more people
than 1t had when the sun arose upon the
city yesterday morning. and taxable proc
which was up to yesterday not there. will
soon be on the municipal assessment rolls.
The election yesterday did not develop a
great deal Of interest inside the city, being.
however, q correspondingly lively affair in
the three outside districts which were
knocking for admittance to enter the mu-
nicpality. The total vote cast was less
than 1000. or to be more exact. it
was just 1916, of which number 1857
were for and 759 we're against annexation.
The election had to have a majority both
in and outside to carry. Inside the major
ity was 375, while outside 1t was $40 votes
for and 49G against annexation. Of the
votes cast, the nine wards In the city piled
up 9O1. while the three outside districts
cast 1915. which figures tell the story in a
nutshell.
The idea of the larger city had the hard
est opposition in the city in the Seventh
and Eighth wards, the latter refusing to
endorse 1t by vote of II to 45. The
saloon element, because 1t did not want to
see some of the resorts In the suburbs
come under municipal control, sought to
beat the proposition with an energy worthy
of a better cause. 1t was this same influ-
ence which succeeded in defeating the
previous election. and it labored long and
loudly in the country precincts yes

non precinct cast 81 votes for to IS
against annexation. Thirteen votes were
thrown out at Pico Heights yesterday and
three votes were for irregularities thrown
out at Vernon. Four hundred and ninety

it will probably be beaten.
The vote was as follows.
