BIBLE SOLVED BY HISTORY
Or. r. c. Moulton Says Critics Find
Aid In Studying the
Scriptures

"Do not understand me as railing
against history, for We could as well
rail against the multiplication table as
high history" said DR.. r. G.. Moulton
of Chicago university yesterday MORN
ing at St. Paul's pro-cathedral.
The Methodist misisters adjourned
their meeting to listen to the address
of Dr.. Moulton. There was large con-
gregation aside from the clergymen.
Critics often rely on history in solv-
ing the Bible said the speaker, but
if their starting points are wrong they
have but little foundation from which
to work"
DIR. Moulton dwelt on the different in
terpretations of the Bible and its criti-
cisms. He illustrated many points of
interest in his forceful manner of re-
citing passages of scripture in their
different phases. He said that many
from their lack of Bible knowledge did
not associate the familiar hymn
Nearer, My God, TO Thee" with that of
Jacobs dream. The speaker urged the
point of thoroughly studying the re-
vised version of the Bible.

HEAR OF MISSING SON
Rev. and Mrs. Frank Frame of Pasa-
dena Clear Up Mystery of TeIe-
phone MESSAGE

Mystery connected with the tel
ephone message received less than
week ago by Rev. and Mrs.
Frank Frame of Pasadena regard
ing the disappearance of their
son Wilbur, who has not been seen
by his parents since early in Septem-
Der, was cleared up yesterday when
Rev. Mr. Frame met and conversed
with Harry l.. Kent, who had told
them of their son.
On the day of their sons disappear
ance Rev. and Mrs. Frame became in
volved in trouble with two persons
who had been roomng at their house.
The infuriated roomers We're elected
from the Frame house and they swore
vengeance against the minister ana
his wife.
That evening Wilbur, a lad of 10
years, but inclined to be simple, asked
permission to leave his home TO hear
band concert. The permission was
readily granted and the lad left. AS
the hours progressed and the lad did
not return. the Frames became wor-
ried. The case was placed in the hands
OF the police, but to no avail 1t was
then that the minister began to sus-
pect his former tenants.
According to Fullerton liveryman,
Wilbur Frame worked as a bootblack
near the livery stable for a month and
the night that he left. saying that he
was going to Los Angeles, he told Kent
that he was the son of Rev. Mr.. Frame
of Pasadena and that he was wante i
at home. Kent accounts for the boys
strange actions by his weak mind.

As a good place to dump their indi-

parts of the country they are sent,
the majority OF them hopelessly Ill,
arriving here penniless to become II

Kelley, an inmate of the insane ward
at the county hospital in a lucid in
terval yesterday, told how he was re-
leased from the insane asylum of
Phoenix, Ariz. to come to Los Angeles.
Kelley said he had been twice COM
mitted to the Phoenix asylum for the
insane. The last time, so he says, the
superintendent told him he would be
released if he could get money enough
TO pay his fare out of the state. A
brother of the insane man advanced $50
and Kelley was sent to Los Angeles,
only to be taken UP a short time after
his arrival here, few days ago, and
committed to the county hospital. All
the authorities can do with him there
is to send him on to Highlands, thus TO

FULL Of WORRY
HUSBAND SAYS WIFE WAS
JEALOUS
Declares He Showed Her Every Item
Of His Own Personal Expendi-
tures, but That She Refused
to Believe Him

Alleging that his wife's jealousy
caused him great humiliation and
worry, George M. Glover, a Los An
geles salesman. yesterday petitioned
Judge Wilbur of department eight of
the superior court to grant him dc d.
cree of divorce from Mrs. Mary A.
Glover.
According to Clover's statements on
the witness stand yesterday, his mar
ried life had been filed with trials
and worry. AS he told the details of
his marital disturbances his head was
bent in sorrow and his voice was
husky.
I'VE were married in Shelby county,
Ind" he said. THAT was thirty-two
years ago and for seventeen years my
life was a happy one. But my wife
became jealous of me and no matter
what | did she accused me of every
act Of domestic infeicity she could
think of.
"All my life I have made about 800
n month and of that amount / gave
regularly for the support of my wife
and children $40. But that was not
enough. and after my wife started her
prosecutions my life was n constant
misery. We had quarres for break
fast, dinner aud supper and at last
out of sheer desperation I secured a
position as travelling salesman. / was
absent from nome just as much as
possible, for whenever l got in the
house there was trouble on hand wait

accuse me of travelling with womeI,

NAMES THE SAME
BOARD OF WORKS
COUNCIL DELAYS CONFIRMING
APPOINTMENT
Mayor MeAIeer Submits List Inelud-
ina John r. Matthews, c. o.
Winters and E. T.
Perkins

Mayor McAleer yesterday sent the
names of the new board OF pubic
works to the city council for confirm
alton. The personnel of the board IS
the same that the mayor suggested
several months ago, John r. Matthews,
g. o. Winters and Edwin T. Perkins.
The council had expected that these
men would be named and received the
mayors message with no further COM
ment than to refer it to the committee
of the whole.
"When will the committee of the
whole meet to consider this board?'
asked one of the councilmen.
Whenever the spirit moves" said
Mr. Blanchard, who was acting as
president of the council In the alb
sence of Theodore Summerland.
This action of referring the question
to committee of the whole without
n definite date for settlement, was
taken to mean that the members of the
council are not highly favorable to
tke mayors nominees. When the
mayor suggested, some time ago, that
this would probably be his choice for
a board of public works, there were
members of the council so opposed to
It as to declare that they would do
what they could to hold up the con-
firmation until such time as the per-
sonnel of the board was satisfactory.
The charter amendment that provides
for the board also provides that the
board shall be officially inaugurated
January 1.
The council Is also tied up by res
olution that the board of public works
must have one member who is a rep
resentative of the labor unions. Hough-
ton forced this resolution through the
council at time when other members
were mapping. and several have since
stated that they regretted their silent
acquiescence but that it now is
record in the minutes and they do not
know how to sidestep it.
Members of the council stated yester-
day that the mayor had agreed to send
in another list of names if this one
did not meet with the approval of the
council. but that he was anxious to
learn the councils reasons for refusing
their confirmation.

In the eyes of most of the hunters
after the desirable who throng the
stores at this season. A seeker after
types of the race could do no better
than to stand in the doorway OF the
large department stores The whole
gamut of possibilities Is run every half
hour.
Old men and women with benignant
faces go to buy their pet grandchildren

something that "he" will like and hus-
bands searching with an equal amount
of eagerness for present that will
please her" may be seen in null
ttudes.
Tiny tots making their selections for
the edification of Santa Claus run
about with wondering eyes. awed by
the tinsel magniicence of the toy Sec
tion.
Others, n little older, who know all
abount Santa. look scornfully at the
smaller ones and utter words which, IL
heard, might mean disenohantment.
Little girls stare with covetous eyes

The mechanical section of the toy
department. has a particular fasclna-
tion for the small boy. He gazes at the
marvels of the clockwork automobile
and makes technical explanations of
the mechanism to his fellow-lookeron
that are amusing to degree.
At the different stores i'm town it was
said that the Christmas trade this sea-
son is much better than ever before.
AT Hamburgers the manager said:
"The Christmas trade began a little
late this year, but now things are on
with rush We have had twice as
much trade this year as we ever had
before and every one of our statesmen
is constantly busy. We put on an i'm
mense force of extra help. but we could
use hundred more men right now.

WATER BOARD HEARS REPORT
Auditor Says Financial Condition OF
Department Is Unusually
Satisfactory

The board Of water commissioners lis
tened to the annual reports of the aud
flor and superintendent and approved
them at a meeting held yesterday after
noon in the committee rooms on South
Hill street. The auditor reported that
the financial condition is much better
than that of last year and stated there
is good profit in the treasury for the
last fiscal year ending November 10.
The superintendents report was a
lengthy one and showed that the in
stallment of meters has been q means
of saving a. great volume of water.
During the year $500 meters have been
installed, making a total of over 5000
now in use He also stated that the
pumping stations put INTO service have
been of value in increasing the supply
of water.
The board submitted these reports
to the city council with short COM
munication, stating that their full re-
port could not be given on account of
some of the deals involving Owens
river property not having been COM
pleted.
Bids for 36-inch and 30-inch riveted
sheet steel pipes were presented and
opened and referred to the supply COM
mittee. The contract for these pipes
was let to the lowest bidder, the Lacy
Manufacturing company. The bids
were 1882 per foot for 1900 feet Of &c.
inch pipe and $2.72 per foot for 5000 feet
of 30-inch pipe.
A communication was read which had
been submitted by the Maclay Rancho
Water company, asking for water rights
across the San Gabriel forest for a
reservoir and water ditch in Pacoima
canyon. The board decided to refuse
t, grant such privileges at present.

Talks of Christmas

Holly and Rue" or Christmas, it's
uses and abuses, was the subject OF
an interesting address given yesterday
by Rev. Robert ]. Burdette at meet
ing of the Ebell club. TO the eastern
visitor Mr.. Burdette declared that
here she will see the real Christmas.
1t is not the Christmas of ice and
snow, but the clear, blue sky, and the
bright sunshine that should be con-
sidered the real Christmas, for this
was the Christmas of Palestine, said
the speaker.
