Resolved by the Federation Council of the
Church Federation of Los Angeles, Cal, that
protest against the Jeffries-Johnson fight
taking place within the state Of California
not only because 1t will be a violation Of
section Az of the penal code, and therefore
felony, but also because it will be an
unpatriotc desecrauon of our national birth

when their proposed breach was widely ad-
vertised throughout the nation.

attorney general, the district attorney of San

CAPITALIST CRIPPLED
IN LEAP FROM STAGE
Prominent Beach Resident Seeks
to Escape Runaway; Is Hurt

VENICE, May 23.-In attempting to
jump from the Topango stage to avoid
being run down by runaway horse.
H. R. Gage, well-known citizen and
capitalist of this beach, suffered a
fractured hip, which will probably
cripple him for life.
Gage, with his wife and two other
women, were passengers on the stage,
headed for the Topango canyon. Just
as the stage reached the Arched Rock
at narrow point in the road, the run
away, drawing a wagon, was met
bearing down upon them.
The stage driver advised the pas
sengers to jump for their lives and all
were successful in doing so except
Gage.
He was taken to his home on the
ocean front in an automobile.
Gage was formerly associated with
Abbot Kinney in the development OF
the beach.

COURT IGNORES STORY
OF ALLEGED ABDUCTION
Rules Smith Trial Shall Not Be
fastened by Papers

Judge Davis of the criminal court
yesterday stated that the court could
not legally take cognizance of anything
read in the newspapers, when the dis
trict attorneys office requested an
early trial for Catherine E. Smith on
a charge of abduction. in view of the
fact that an alleged attempt had been
made to abduct Sadie Engelman, lead
ing witness for the prosecution, Sat
urday night.
Mrs. Smith, who conducts a matern-
ity home, gave Sadie Engelman's baby
to Mrs. Wilson to be exhibited as one
of the fake "quadruplets" recently.
Miss Engelman charged Mrs. Smith
with giving her baby away against her
will and charges of abduction were
preferred against the latter.
Mrs. Smith pleaded not guilty before
Judge Davis yesterday morning, and
the district attorneys representative
asked that an early trial be held in
view of the newspaper reports that an
attempt had been made to get rid of
Miss Engelman as the main witness in
the suit It was then that Judge Davis
held that no cognizance could be taken
of newspaper evidence, and the trial
was set for June 6.

Passes Away in the Chill

NO PLOT AGAINST MOTHER
Recent Events Upset the Theory
That Mexican Tried to Kid
nap the EngeIman Girl
NO PLOT AGAINST MOTHER

Investigation by police and detec-
tives yesterday tended to dispell the
theory that Sadie Engelman, the form
er San Diego chorus girl, was the
victim of attempted murder or kid
mapping at her home, 432 Lafayette
street, early Sunday morning.
The fact, hitherto unknown, was re-
Vealed by attaches of the Children S
hospital last night, that John Doe No.

year-old girl, and who figured as one
Uf the Wilson quduI upiets, Gieu i'll the
hospital Saturday.
A suit for $4,000 is now pending in
the Superior court against Mrs Cath
crime Smith, filed by Miss Engelman,
ing elected from the Smith sanitarium
a few hours after the birth Of her
child
After a preliminary hearing in Jus
tice Summerf1eld's court Mrs. Smith
was also held to answer to a criminal
charge of child stealing.
1t was these facts that gave rise to
the belief that Miss Engelman might
be killed or kidnapped in order to pre-
vent her appearing as a witness in
the cases.
That Guanoldo Avisa, who is locked
in central police headquarters, charged
with suspicion of burglary, was in an
intoxicated condition at the time he
entered the home of J. Tabak, Miss
Engelman's stepfather, is the belief of
the police. He was not arraigned in
police court yesterday morning and
will not be until a complete investiga-
tion of facts could be made. 1t is
probable a charge of drunkenness
will be the only one lodged against
the Mexican. That he entered the
house is not denied, but it is thought
he did so in a drunken stupor.
1t was not until last night that it
became known the infant son of Miss
Engelman had died, the information
coming from the Childrens hospital.

FOG SPO|LS SKY
SHOW FOR GAZERS
City Folks Turn in Without Even
a Glimpse of the Comet
or Eclipse
VISIBLE FROM THE MOUNTAINS
Many Go Up Echo Mountain and
See the Phenomenon from
Above the Clouds

The Los Angeles public-or at least
that considerable portion of it which
for several weeks has been keeping tab
on Halley's comet. and nightly craning
necks and straining nerves to watch
the maneuvers of it's tail was sorely
disappointed last night when the sky
clouded up so that the two star per-
formances of the astral stage were in
visible.
Both the total eclipse of the moon and
the circumlocutory stunts of the comet
were beyond the ken of the mundane
Angels, and the thousands of people
who had expected to view the celestial
hobo at it's best-when the total eclipse
of the moon would leave the comet
sole master of the firmament-hadt to go
to bed chagrined and disappointed.
Those who went to vantage points on
the mountains from which to watch the
eclipse Jared far better, for they saw it
all. Nearly 500 persons took advan-
tage of the opportunity to visit the
observatory on Echo mountain and
gaze on the comet through the teles-
cope there, and fully as many more
went to other points. They had an
excellent view OI lHe eclipse anu LuS
comet. The fog below them, which
blanketed the valley and prevented
thousands in the city from seeing either
eclipse or comet, was plainly visible.
"It won't be possible to see such a
sight as that would have been for many
years" said an astronomer last night,
"becausehad it not been for the clouds.
we would have been treated to the
most remarkable double phenomena
ever witnessed. The air, under total
nocturnal eclipse of the moon, ordinar-
ilv seems less opalescent, and the luster
of the comet would have been many
times greater than normal, or under
other conditions. Even the absence of
a moon would not have the same effect
as a total eclipse would have"
But all of this is little solace to the
star-gazers who last night were forced
to go to bed without even glimpse

REPORTE DEAD DOG; FIRE
DEPARTMENT SUNNI 0NED

OCEAN PARK, May 23.-When
Adam Berry, negro dog-catcher of this
city, telephoned the police that dead
dog was lying on Paloma avenue he
failed to talk sufficiently plain. Least
ways that's the opinion of Chief of
Police John H. Parent, for the latter
mistook his message for a fire alarm
and the department was notified.
After making the run of several blocks
to the scene the dusky official was
found standing over the dead canine,
awaiting the arrival of the police, as
he understood that an officer and
wagon would be sent to remove the
animal.
The authorities tonight are wonder
ing whose fault it is that the alarm
was turned in and much laughter is
being enjoyed at the expense of the
chief of police, dog-catcher and fire
chief.

evening one of the foulest crimes in
the history Of Maury or Williamson
counties was laid bare. The body of
Beard was found about two miles
from the williamson aury county

miles from the williamson county line.
He was regarded as a harmless indi-

created a great sensation in the neigh

No one has been arrested for the
crime, but it is said that there are sew
eral clues and domestic troubles are
suspected to be at the bottom OF the
tragedy. Boards body was buried late
yesterday.
Beard left home on Wednesday

was seen alive. His mother lived over
