waite devotions.)
Lord, for tomorrow Inc its needs
| do not pray:
Keep me, my God, from stain of sin
just for to-day.
Help me to labor earnestly
And duly pray
Let me be kind in word and deed,
Father, to-day.
Let re no wrong or idle word
Unthinking say;
Set thou a seal upon my lips
Through all to-day.
Let me in season, Lord, be grave,
In season gay; s.
Let me be faithful to thy grace,
Dear Lord, to-day.
And if, to-day, this life of mine
Should ebb away,
Give me thy sacrament divine,
Father, to-day.
So for tomorrow and it's needs
| do not pray:
Still keep me, guide me, love me, Lord,
Through each to-day.

ESCROW CLERK DENIES GUILT
Finds Charge of EmbezzIement Weak
and Prefers to Stand
Trial

F. F. Wilson, former escrow clerk of
the Title Guarantee and Trust company,
yesterday refused to plead guilty to a
charge against him and the case was
postponed for trial.
The weakest case of the many en-
bezzlements with which Wilson was
charged was preferred against him so
that he might receive but a light sem
tence If he pleaded guilty. He first
gave his assurance that he would plead
guilty and later withdrew and stated he
would go to trial, for he had learned
how weak the charge would appear to
a jury.
After yesterdays action, however, a
more serious case will be preferred
against him and before he comes up
for trial it is said a new charge will
have been entered for him to plead to.

WOULD DIVORCE
JOKING HUSBAND
WOMAN is LACKING IN SENSE
OF HUM0R
Saws She Can't See Anything Funny
About Fathers Treatment of
the Baby and Her.
self

Husbands in the future will have to
be very careful of light remarks IL
they do not want their little jokes test
ed in court, was the lesson taught
young Joseph F. Breeder, a plasterer
who Yesterday appeared before Judge
Conrey in department five of the su-
perior court to answer charges MADE
against him by his wife in which she
asked a divorce on the ground OF cru
city.
The couple was married in Los An
geles March 2, 1905, and later papS
was born. according to Mrs. Breeders S
statements on the witness stand yes
terday her husband did not like the
baby and the evening before its BIRTH
while she was not in the house, she
alleged that her husband carried the
garden hose in the house and deluged
her bed with water so that She could
not lie down on 1T.
She further alleged that on another
occasion her husband had struck the
baby and that another time ne had
made a most terrible remark.
"My husband came home one even
ing" testified Mrs. Breeder, "and sup
per was not ready for him. L had been
tending the baby and he had to wait
for supper. He was hungry and cross
and he walked over to the door and
stepped out on the back porch and
there he met the man who lived up
stairs. AS my husband stood there he
became more and more annoyed, and
at last he said to the man who was
with him. IF you will take that baby
out in the back yard and beat its head
off against that post 1 will give you
dollar"
Cruel to Wife
Mrs. Breeder also testified that her
husband on more than one occasion
had been hard with her and that he
had choked her, struck her with an
umbrella and with stick and at the
time of the latter assault the stick
broke.
Roser sent his client, the husband, to
the stand, and the young man made a
sweeping denial of the allegations.
He testified that the remark about
the baby had been made in fun to
show his neighbor how hungry he was
and that no thought Of injury to the
youngster had ever entered his head.
AS for turning the hose on the bed.
he denied any such action. He said
that his wife was jealous of him and
that when he went out to see one OF
his friends on the evening before the
baby's birth his wife followed him to
see where he was going. He accused
her of following him many times. When
he returned to the house, according to
his testimony. his wife was not there
and he proceeded to water the lawn
and flowers, many of them being vines
about the window and in that manner
the water got on the bed inside the
room.
When the judge heard the explana-
tion of the young husband, corroborat-
ed as 1t was by the testimony of sew
eral witnesses, he denied the decree
and the plaintiff left the court room
after stating her intention of carrying
the case to the higher court.

COMPARISON WITH REGISTER
SATISFACTORY
City Council Expected to Name Date
for Consolidation with San
Pedro at Meeting Next
Monday

Next Monday the residents of Los
Angeles and San Pedro will learn the
exact date on which will be taken the
vote which will result in the consoli-
dation of the two cities.
That the vote will be in the affirma-
tive by a large majority Is considered
a foregone conclusion, and the coming
election is regarded as a mere matter
of form.
City Clerk Lelande informed the con-
solidation commission yesterday that
comparison of the signatures attached
to the petitions would be completed
Saturday morning and that under the
ratio of elimination of names of those
found not entitled to vote there would
remain several hundred over the neces-
sary number of signatures, approxi-
mating 5000.
Monday morning these petitions, to-
gether with those from San Pedro,
which have been compared by City
Clerk Lelande and found to contain
about three times the legal number of
signatures, will be presented to the
city council, which body at once will
issue the call for the special election.
The council will name the date for
holding the election, but 1t is expected
that some day between February 20
and 25 will be chosen.
Granada Would Come In
Another district which desires to be-
come a part of Greater Los Angeles
has been heard from. Residents of
Granada, Floral Park and adjoining
territory lying to the east of Los An
geles have decided that they want to
be included In the metropolis, and in
their behalf officers of the Granada
Realty company are circulating petit
tions in Los Angeles asking the city
council to call special election on the
question of consolidation.
With the completion of street car
lines now in process of construction
Granada will be within twenty minutes
of the center of Los Angeles.
Residents of Huntington Park may
decide the question of consolidation at
a mass meeting to be held Monday
night. The citizens are divided on the
question of consolidation and taxing
the town for needed improvements
with the expectation of Incorporating
as a city Of the sixth class.
The meeting Monday night is expect
ed to settle the question as to whether
bonds to the amount OF $4,000 for the
construction and equipment of muni-
cipal lighting plant will be asked for.
Should the majority be against the
proposition 1t will mean that Hunting
ton Park Is in favor of putting no
further money into public improve
ments pending consolidation with Los
Angeles.
