12 SUFFRAGE LEADER DIES OF WORRY DISSENSIONS AGGRAVATE HER CONDITION ACTIVE WORKER FOR WOMEN Mrs. Mabel V. Osborne, Prominent In State Equal Rights Association, Does Not Survive Ner. vous Affliction Mrs. Mabel V. Osborne, president of the Los Angeles City Equal Suffrage association, vice president of the state suffrage association and for many years one of the most active workers for women's rights in California, died at the California hospital yesterday afternoon at 4:15 o'clock. Mrs. Osborne for several weeks had jbeen suffering with a complication of 'diseases aggravated by nervous pros tration, which, her friends say, was caused by overwork and worry because of dissensions between the city suffrage association and the county association. She submitted to a severe surgical operation "Wednesday morning. Her condition was more Eerious than had at first been believed and after two hours of the trying ordeal she was so weakened that physicians could offer no encouragement for hopes of re covery. Rapid Change for Worse A trained nurse was in constant at tendance, and from 10 o'clock until the time of her death the physician did not leave the bedside. Early in the afternoon came a rapid change for the worse and It was apparent she could not survive the day. Mrs. Osborne had been living at Hotel Lovejoy with her mother, Mrs. R. P. Bates. She leaves one son, Julian Bertran Osborne, seventeen years old, who is now on the desert. Her brother, F. L. Bates, a well-known mining man. Is In Los Angeles, and his wife, who is In northern California, has been noti fied of Mrs. Osborne's death and is ex pected to arrive today. Until she ar rives arrangements will not be made for the funeral. Mabel V. Osborne was born .in Au gust, 1866, at Antloch, Contra Costa county, Cal. She began to participate actively in the equal suffrage move ment when Lorida Force Gordon was the state president. Takes State Office Miss Gordon persuaded her to ac cept the position of state secretary. She was recognized as an excellent parliamentarian and a woman of rare executive ability. During the campaign of 1896, when Susan B. Anthony, Rev. Anna Shaw and other of the national leaders were In the state to bring the question before the legislature, Mrs. Osborne was most active and was also appointed to take charge of the work of presenting the question again at the last legislature. . Mrs. Osborne was also active In uniting the northern association and the southern association, for many years at war with each other, and the present state association Is the result of that union. When the city suffrage association was organized Mrs. Osborne was elect ed president, and one of her first steps was to organize the county convention and arrange for securing the state convention meeting for Los Angeles. She had been one of the prime movers In establishing ward clubs and organ izing throughout the state. Previous to the meeting of the last legislature, she spent much time traveling from one town to another, arousing enthusi asm for her cause. Troubles in Association The last few months of her life were not happy ones and the trouble be tween the city and county associations bore heavily upon her. Mrs. Osborne was the moving spirit In the city association and with her death the balance of power will proba bly pass Into the hands of the county association. Mrs. Osborne's friends In the city as sociation declare she has not been rightly treated by certain officers of the city association and the feeling among them appears to be very bitter. ■ At a meeting of the city association Monday afternoon plans were made for a reception to be given by the asso ciation In the parlors of the Angel us hotel, but one of the members of the committee In charge stated yesterday that It would not be given.

Give Literary Program at Tent City at Huntington Baech — Dele, gation Visits Sawtelle Home Special to The Herald. HUNTINGTON BEACH, Sept. 7.— Two hundred veterans from camp D. E. Sickles, Huntington Beach, visited the Sawtelle Soldiers' Home. Five elec tric cars were filled with old soldiers and their wives. Many took baskets and spent the day at the home. Nearly all of them returned late this evening. The congested condition at the camp have been overcome and tonight there is no complaint of the scarcity of bunks. All day the veterans and their families have been pouring in. Com mander Paul was seen this afternoon and he said that by Sunday or Monday the attendance would eclipse any pre vious gathering In the history of the encampment. One thing the veterans seem to appreciate fully is their car riage drives to and from the tent city, which are free. The board of trade has placed about a dozen carriages at their disposal, and they are driven about continuously without money and with out price. All day the women have been plan ning for tonight's entertainment, the day having been set apart especially for them. Past President Mrs. C. A. Spence arrived yesterday and aided ma terially In preparing and carrying out the program. Mrs. R. E. Wands, past deputy president from Oregon also arrived. When the meeting was called to order tonight there was scarcely standing room In the large tent, and the pretty decorations showed to advantage under the glow of scores of incandescent lamps attached to the frame work of the tent.

THOMAS KENNA TELLS OF CRUELTY SAYS HUSBAND BEAT HER Woman Asserts the Only Support Her Spouse Has Given Her In Many Months Is a Small Sum of Money How many American women of the present day could support themselves and three children for three years on $6.30? Yet Mrs. Margarette Kenna of 60S Maple avenue testified that all the money her husband, Thomas Kenna, had given her In that time was the $6.30. With her head bandaged to cover a badly battered head, a bruised eye and a broken nose, Mrs. Kenna appeared be fore Police Judge Austin yesterday and told of the cruelties Inflicted on her by her husband. It was practically the same old story told to the officers who arrested her husband the night before. After breaking down several times with weeping, Mrs. Kenna began: "Judge, my husband has not lived with me for nearly three years. I have made no complaint but have struggled along as best I could with our three little ones. A week ago my husband re turned to me and asked forgiveness and I gladly granted It. "Next he gave me $16.30 and told m« to use It. It was the first money that he had given me since he left me, but in a little while he came to me and tolfl me he had to have some clothes. I told him where the money was and he took $10. Wednesday night he came home and began to abuse me. "When we were living In Riverside in March, 1903, he was arrested and sent to the county jail for cruelty to our children. That time he served six months. Just as soon as he was re leased he came to our home and beat me for testifying against him. He was agian committed to jail. Since I have not seen him until he came home." Judge Austin frowned and announced that he would sentence Kenna at 11 o'clock this morning. COMPLAIN THAT "PEEPING TOM" IS ANNOYING THEM M. Castello Charged In Warrant With Following Young Women and Gazing Into Apartments Because M.

"I do not understand why ' I should have to swear to this complaint," said Miss Goodln yesterday. "Of course, the fellow has been peeking in our win dows, but I pull down the curtains and then forget about his presence. I have been told that he follows Miss Chad wlck, the actress, and annoys her with the same actions. I think she ought to be the one to complain." MARTELL HELD TO TRIAL .:' FOR SHOOTING COUSIN William Martell, who was arrested Monday ever. Ing on the charge of shooting O. W.
