Is Missing From Her Santa
Monica Home

Miss Mabel Matthews, 14-year-old
daughter of Mrs. Hattie Leach of
Santa Monica, disappeared from her
home in Santa Monica yesterday and

with G. d. Baker. Mrs. Leach is in
possession of letter written by Baker
and addressed to Miss Matthews in
which he pleads with the young wo-
man to flee to Los Angeles with him
where they are to wed.
Mrs. Leach went to the police station
last night at o O'Clock and reported the
disappearance of her daughter and
produced the letter written by Baker
as a clew to her whereabouts. She
says that the girl left her house in
Santa Monica about o'clock yesterday
afternoon with the declared intention
of returning in a few minutes AS she
did not return after several hours, the
suspicion of Mrs. Leach was aroused
and she reported the matter to the
police.
Mrs. Leach who was divorced from
her first husband, Matthews and short
ly afterward was married to Leach.

persuaded her daughter to run away
with him.
Mrs. Leach said that 1t might be
possible that her daughter had come
to Los Angeles to visit friends. but de-
clared that she believed that Mabel
had been induced by Baker to become
married. She says that Baker has
been paying attention to her daughter
for several months. but she thought
nothing of It until last night.

Pretty GraOsa Abara Whose Ancestors We're Rich Days
Before Gringo Came, Will Be Married With All
Due POmp and SplendOr

Miss Graclosa Abarta and Fernando
H. Olivas will be married tomorrow
afternoon at o'clock at the Plaza
church. The Abarta-Olivas wedding
will not create much of a stir on West
Adams street, yet it is the boast of
the Abarta family that their name was
old in Los Angeles when Adams street
was but COW pasture. Old Pedro
Abarta, the brides grandfather, owned
much land and many houses in the
early days but all that has been swept
away since the coming of the gringo.

island is borne out by the fact that
ten or fifteen illegal votes were cast.
We have the names of that number of
persons who voted without right. AS
the final returns show a majority of
only one vote in favor of annexation,
it is very plain that if we prove ten
or fifteen illegal votes were cast in it's
favor the result will be against an
nexation."
w. C. Patterson, president of the Los
Angeles National bank, who is one of
those charged by the San Pedro trus-
tees with having voted in favor of
annexation to Long Beach, said yes
terday:
II voted at Terminal island and no
one knows how my vote was cast. 1
engaged in no movement to secure the
favorable result and 1 spent no money
and made no vigorous campaign to
influence any vote. The charge, so far
as 1 am concerned, is wholly without
foundation. 1 am entitled to vote at
Terminal island and avail myself of
my rights. That's all there is to it,
Mayor Emo and Trustee Losee of
Long Beach went to Terminal island
yesterday to confer with citizens of
that place regarding annexation. The
local officials intend to establish a
branch of the city hall at Terminal,
with a deputy recorder and clerk.
There will be at least two policemen
stationed in the annexed town and it is
probable that these officials will all be
drawn from Terminals citizenship.
Long Beach is taking for granted that
the result of Wednesdays election will
be sustained.

Long Beach Trustees viii Cast Up
Result Monday and Proceedings
Thereafter Depend Upon
Their Decision
DENIES ANNEXATION WON

Angered because of the result of the
Beach, Terminal Island and East San
Pedro, to determine upon annexation
places, which result they assert was
obtained by fraud and through the aid
of illegal votes, the citizens of San
Pedro are fastening preparations to
contest the election and will hold an
election on September 1S to annex that
territory, with other territory contig-
uous to the limits of the harbor city.
1t is now planned by the trustees of
San Pedro to pursuade the citizens of
Wilmington to consent to annexation
and If this can be done that town will
be included in the submission to cleo
tion of the proposition to annex other
territory at the approaching election.
Should the courts uphold the result
the new city limits of Long Beach and
San Pedro will join and Long Beach
will occupy considerable portion of
the San Pedro harbor 1t is this fact
which spurs the San Pedro trustees to
action.
Counsel Retained
Attorney ]. S. Chapman has been re-
tanned by the San Pedro board of trus-
tees to assist the city attorney in such
proceedings as may be decided upon
nP tho
annexation of Terminal Island and
East San Pedro to Long Beach.
Discussing the program to be pur-
sued by San Pedro, Mr.. Chapman said
yesterday:
"There will be no resort to litigation
until after the Long Beach board of
trustees canvass the vote which un-
derstand will be done Monday after
noon. Our contention is that the an
nexation proposition did not carry.
having failed to receive majority of
the legal votes cast. If we can con-
vince the Long Beach board Of trus-
tees Of this, there will be no necessity.
for resort to legal proceedings.
"But If the board casts up the re-
turns and declares the proposition TO
annex carried, it is up to San Pedro to
go into court and prevent the formali-
ties of annexation by setting aside the
result OF election. Whatever proceed
ings are instituted are now dependent
upon the action OF the Long Beach
trustees.

Rev. M. o. Hutehlns, for Thirty Years

euraoy Of Bible and Says
II ls Contradictory

up to FIVE years ago was rated
as an orthodox clergyman in old Mas
sachusetts. Since then I have burned
all bridges and ships behind me and
have been trying to get the supersti-
tion out Of my eyes and the puerility
out Of my speech"
This was one OF the statements made
by Rev. M. d. Hutchins at the MEM
orial meeting in Blanchard hall last
evening In memory of the birth Of
Robert G. Ingersoll by the Liberal club
of Los Angeles.
After eulogizing Robert Ingersoll
Rev. Mr.. Hutchins, former Congre-
gational minister, spoke of his belief
in the bible as follows:
when I broke with the church the
issue that drove me into my present
radical position was the question of
the historicity of the entire bible. The
historicity of the bible from Genesis to
Revelation is now under the X-ray Of
scientific scholarship. For five years
have wrestled with the question
whether there be any authentic history
at all between the two lids of the bible
Thirty Years in Ministry
81 have a right to speak, for 1 have
given thirty years of my life to the
ministry. l say the most conservat tive
higher critics are trying to hold to a
certain hypothesis, but that is breaking
and before long the most startling
announcement will ring through all
Christendom that there is practically
testament and that it is wholly made
up literature. There is no contempor-
airy evidence to confirm a single page
of the old testament.
What of the so-called new testa-
ment? We tread on a tender subject
there. 1 have spent five years of an
guish over it. Almost every day 1 am
at the library and 1 am hunting FOR
one thing, to see if there can be found
one chord of contemporary historical
evidence to substantiate the story of
the four gospels and other books of the
new testament
Il say to you that the specific his
torical data that is now accessible to
us bearing upon. every essential part
of the new testament is so utterly con-
Trajectory of what we there read that
nine out of every ten of even you men
who profess to be freethinkers would
