BELL IS COMING
TO LOS ANGELES
DEMOCRATIC LEADER Is DUE
HERE WEDNESDAY
viii Then Go East to Fulfill Promise
to the Commoner to Take the
Stump for National
Chieftain

Theodore Bell will spend day in
Los Angeles next week, probably
Wednesday, and will doubtless be pre-
vailed on to make an address or TWO
on the campaign while here.
What Bell has to say then Will be
interesting, because Gavin McNab,
who has stayed away from Stockton.
has been trying to ridicule the efforts
of the "lion of Napa' to bring harmony
in the Democratic ranks.
McNab declared recently in San
Francisco that Bell lost his chance for
the governorship in 1906 by refusing
to denounce the graft administration
in San Francisco, which charge Bell
has often answered.
The McNabian view is that the
Stockton convention was the last in
California. as the people will surely
adopt a direct primary constitutional
amendment authorizing the Legislators
to change the law.
Whatever insures a general partici-
patton of the people in politics." says
McNab, ultimately eliminates the
boss. The people are the only bosses. "
Bell will doubtless have something
to say on these lines, too.
Chairman Bell says that whenever
the Democrats and labor parties have
united they have won in California and
this result will be duplicated this year.
Labor supported Cleveland the last
time he ran; supported Budd largely,
and supported Lane, who would have
won had not thousands of votes cast
for him for governor been cast out for
various alleged Irregularities.
Mr.. Bell will go east from here to
fulfill his promise to Bryan to stump
the east,

ON LOW RATES
COLONISTS ARE FL0cKING TO
LOS ANGELES
EXODUS FROM EAST TO LAND OF
SUNSHINE Is ON
First of Chicago's Contingent Reaches
Depots Last Night, Following
Daylight Arrivals from
Middle West

The coionist movement for 1908 has
begun.
The heavily laden trains from the
east yesterday showed how well South
ern California has been advertised.
| Every one of the transcontinental
trains had extra coaches to accommo-
date the colonists, though all the pas
sengers were by no means colonist
ticket holders.
| They alighted at the Santa Fe, Salt
Lake and Southern Pacific depots full
of hope and pleasure at the termina-
| ton of their long journey across
prairies, deserts, mountains and val
leys eager to pick out home sites,
groves and possibly city homes.
| To most of them California had been
dreamed of for years as future habi-
! tat. Many had saved money year af-
| ter year to make the trip. Their aim
was to reach the land of sunshine
whittier many of their friends, towns
men and relatives had preceded them,
and they were keyed up to find all
their hopes realized.
Night Trains Loaded
Yesterdays arrivals were from the
middle west and from Texas.
The night trains brought the first
of the Chicago contingent via the
Golden State limited on the Southern
Pacific and the Los Anr~' limited on
the Salt Lake system. This morning
the Santa Fe will bring in the first of
it's Chicago crowds. By Sunday the
first of far eastern colonists will ar
rive.
Added to todays Southern Pacific ar
rivals will be those from Ogden, Utah.
In the past the colonist movement
has been largely from the middle west
This year it will come more heavily
from New England and the Atlantic
coast states where the recent hard
times have pressed heavily. Many per-
sons there have been waiting on until
they could dispose of their properties
or to save enough from their wages
since the partial resumption of mills
and factories so that they could raise
removal expenses.
Officials Pleased
District Passenger Agent N. R. Mar
tim of the Southern Pacific says the
northern arrivals have as yet not come
strongly, but the Ell Paso gateway sent
hundreds yesterday.
General Passenger Agent T. C. Peck
of the Salt Lake has advices of extra
cars over the Burlington, Union Pa
cific and Missouri Pacific, all to be
turned over at Salt LAKE City.
The Los Angeles limited on this sys-
tenn has a capacity of only eighty per-
sons, counting one person to berth,
yet last nights train brought in
ninety-nine. The equipment on this
must crowd two in a berth to be car
ried.
General Passenger Agent J. ]. Byrne
of the Santa Fe said the outlook is
fine for an army of settlers in Septem-
Der and October.

Tom Wylie, who claims to be a man
of some Importance in some small town
in Canada, is a lightning change artist
He walked into a restaurant on Second
street, near Main. He held his head
high and assumed an air of Importance.
His entrance was made in a sedate
and imposing manner Shortly after
ward he made his exit, but quite diff
ferent from his style of entering. He
emerged in a spectacular fashion, his
feet in the air his head sliding along
the sidewalk, and several articles of
crockery and furniture following in his
, wake. When he recovered his COM
posture he inquired the way to the re-
ceiving hospital and made haste to that
institution, where Police Surgeon Cook
closed a long cash over Wylie's left
eye.
"They did not treat me with proper
respect" said he of the lacerated fore
head. II am acquainted with the prince
of Wales and was at one time secret
service agent employed to guard him
from fanatics"
AS Wylie was leaving the hospital
trusty who was sweeping out and who
heard how Wylie sustained his injuries
softly hummed;
He went into the chowder house to order
a bowl of soup,
But the waiter kicked him in the back and
made him loop tha loop.

CAT DESERTERS WILL
BE PROSECUTED WITH
UTMOST LEGAL RIGOR
Sui erstitfon Causes Many to Leave
their Pets Behind When Moving,
and S. p. C. A. Determines
on Vigorous Action

II homeless and forlorn tabbies with
families of kittens will visit the head
quarters of the Society for the Pre-
swear to complaints against the per-
sons who deserted them. Superintend-
ent thinner of the society will push
the prosecution to the full extent of
the law.
Spurred on by the numerous COM
plants that have been pouring in, the
agents of the S. p. G. A. arc determined
to wage a relentless warfare on per-
sons who heartlessly desert their pet
cats when they move from one neigh
borhood to another.
The prosecutions will be brought UNI
der the law making 1t a misdemeanor
to abandon animals.
Among the most fragrant of these
cruelty cases is that reported from
Highland Park yesterday morning. A
family living in that district packed
up it's household effects and moved
to another part of the city, leaving be-
hind a tabby cat with six young kit
tens. their eyes not yet opened. The
deserted cat cried piteously for its
former mistress, and when it realized
that 1t was deserted, began to make
a brave fight for existence for itself

of the different homes nearby and
he.,s.ing food.
Kind hearted persons investigated
and found that the cat had been de-
serted, and the attention of the 5. L.
c. A. was called to the case.
The officers of the society state that
persons who do not care to take their
pets with them when they move can
have the animals killed, the expense
for making the burdensome pets can
didates for cat heaven being compare
lively small.
AS a general rule persons will not
take feline pets with them when they
move, because of the superstition that
it Is unlucky to move a cat. 1t is
well known fact that no ordinary
amount of money will induce a negro
to take cat from one place of abode
to another.

HUSBAND PROVES TO
BE POOR PROVIDER
WEDDING GIFT KEEPS THEM
FIRST TWO YEARS
Daughter of Wealthy Texas Physician
Obtains Divorce from Insurance
and Mining Man for Nom
Support

For two years after our marriage
we lived on the $4,000 my father had
given me as a wedding gift said Mrs.
Jessie L. Osborne yesterday, While tes-
tifying in her suit for divorce from
Clifton c. Osborne, an insurance and
mining man. Then my husband sup
ported me for two years, and after that
he left myself and children to shift for
ourselves. Since August last my father
has sent me 500 month"
The Osbornes were married at Fort
Worth, Tex in December, 1908 and
came to Los Angeles two years ago.
Her husband, said Mrs. Osborne, when
the $4,000 disappeared would work but
little. A decree was granted, and Mrs.
Osborne with her two children will re-
turn to Texas to be cared for by her
father, DR.. f. E. Compton, wealthy
physician of Fort Worth.
Mrs. Grace Widner, who was married
to Loren Widner in 1900 at Topeka,
Kas., said her husband had acquired
the habit within few years after their
marriage of staying away from home
at night. When she demonstrated he
treated her cruelty, and on one occa-
sion while she was sick refused to send
for a physician. When a neighbor sent
a doctor to the house the husband, ac-
cording to the wife, refused to have a
prescription flied and told the medical
man not to return. HE also threatened
to. blow my brains out and to kill the
children" said Mrs. Widner. A de-
cree was granted.
Quarrels over money matters were
followed by the desertion of his wife
by Ambrose Bracmonte, according to
Mrs. Francis Bracmonte's statements
in the divorce court. They were mar
ried fourteen years ago and the hus-
hand left home nine years later, since
which time he has not returned. Mrs.
Bracmonte got her decree.
Divorce suits were filed yesterday by
Charles Baker against Sudie Baker,
Emma e. Porter against David G. w.
Porter, Annie E. Jones against Robert
C. Jones and Matte H. Brent against
Sanford Brent.

STYLE EXHIBITION

That women alone give any thought
to the matter of dress and styles is
proved a fallacy by the interest shown
by men in the display of fall fashions
in the windows of James Smith & Co.
on Spring street.
Correctness in dress has come to be
considered a necessary observance of
the twentieth century man, and the
models exhibited by James Smith &
Co. represent the authoritative styles
from the famous house of Alfred Ben
jamin & Co.. New York.
MIR. Smith, whose long experience in
the clothing business in Los Angeles
qualities him to make an intelligent
forecast of business conditions, pre-
diets that the coming season win be a
successful one.
I'VE have never made such elaborate
preparations, said he, land we never
anticipated a more satisfactory bust
ness than that of the season ahead

lily, was only a part of the many troli-
bles he had to contend with, said e
c. Barker of 81 North Anderson street
in testifying in his own behalf yes
terday in Police Justice F'rederickson's
court. Barker is charged with failure
to provide for his wife and two minor
children. The case is unusually COM
plicated and many fair witnesses were
present to testify.
One witness declared Barker found
more pleasure in helping a widow per-
form the difficult task of exercising a
lever of a washing machine than stay
ing at home and helping his wife with
her homework.
Barker declared that he was not
physically able to work and the rea-
son for his failure to support his fam
lily was due to this fact and not be-
cause he thought more of widow
whom he frequently visited.
Did not you tell Mrs. Brunt that
you were offered a position in Nevada
at salary of SIS a day?" asked AS

die.
yes, sir; but that was only joke.
You see, she had habit of telling
fortunes with cards, and one day ran
the cards for me and declared that l
would soon meet young man who
would make me a good proposition
In order to make her believe she was
good fortune teller and to crafty
her vanity, the next time 1 saw her
told her the prophecy had come true
and 1 was offered position as deputy

to that effect, and would receive $t75
MONTH"
A ripple of laughter followed and
Mrs. Brunt, who was listening to the
testimony. flushed deep crimson be-
cause her ability as a fortune teller
was moderated.
Justice Frederickson stated he was
not entirely satisfied with the testi-
mony regarding Barker's physical con-
dillon, and ordered that the defendant
be examined by physician. The court
declared that there was some doubt
in his judicial mind as to whether
or not Barker was able to work, and
if such was the case did not feel in
clined to convict him. The case was
postponed to be reset.

''Now, make obeisance," said the
rabbi to the young widow, and Sadie
Kass, stepping forward, bowed low
thrice to the shoes upon her husband s
brothers feet.
MY brother-in-law will not marry

that you give me the right to marry

The rabbi solemnly pronounced it
so.
Immediately afterward the brothers
and the widow returned to the house
of mourning. where the funeral cerc-
