WILL FACE EIGHT CHARGES.
George Ii. bennett to Be Tried for Al
legged Thcfts.

George B. bennett, thirty-eight years old,
who says he has been employed by a pic
ture charging concern, was arrested last
night by Policeman Kilmartin of the first
precinct and locked up on charge Of
theft. The detectives have been looking
for bennett for about two weeks, and De-
tective Herndon has recovered about $500
worth of property alleged to have been
stolen from stores and houses by the pris-
oner.
At the jewelry stores Of Robert Leding
and Gerome Desio, 1t is said he took silver
spoons. while at Brentanos and Dulin &
Martins he gave his attention to orna-
ments. An ornamental clock in leather
case stolen from the house of James l..
Norris. No. 331 C street northwest, was
among the property recovered. The prls-
oner had admitted his guilt and said he
committed the thefts because he needed
money to pay his current expenses.
During the investigation of the case to-
day it was found that the prisoners pic
ture is in Inspector Byrnes' book of GRIM
inals in New York. In the sketch of Dem
nett he is mentioned a shoplifter, and
the information is given that he served
sentence of seven months on BLACKWELL
Island. The detectives stated this after
noon that there will be about eight charges
filed against bennett. He will be given a
trial in the Police Court tomorrow.

An Excrescence on the Hospital Sys-
tenn.

To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
If there is an institution in the city need
ing a thorough cleaning out, 1t is the Emer-
gency Hospital, and 1. with host of others,
was glad to read your editorial of the 10th
and the communications of several citizens
since l need but to recall the treatment
of my brother last summer, still fresh in
the minds of many, to show what a whole
sale amount of inability and utter disre-
gard for humanity is practiced at this hos
pital. My brothers case was diagnosed as
ordinary nose bleed, when he was. as mat
ter of fact suffering from posterior hemor-
rhage. He was allowed to leave the hos
p!tal on foot given wad Of cotton and
told to lie on the grass in the park in case
bleeding should commence again. The
bleeding, in fact, had not stopped, and did
not stop until after o'clock in the after
noon, at which time nearly every drop of
blood had left his body and 1t became neces-
sary for our own physicians to transfuse
hot salt water into his system. Another
half hour or probably less and nothing
could have saved him. My brother had re-
quested one Of the physicians at the hos
pital to telephone to me at The Star office,
which he refused to do.
The time has surely come when the af-
fairs and management Of this institution
should undergo a thorough investigation.
Until this is done all citizens should, as l
propose to do, carry card, so that In the
event of accident, We can attempt at
least to say, as did the injured fireman on
Louisiana avenue, Don't take me to the
Emergency Hospital" Personally I would
prefer to die on the street unattended than
to be subjected to treatment so frequently
complained of against this institution.

deputy county officers, who. through
force of habit. changed cars at Stuart a
few days ago while en- route from Deer
Lodge to Anaconda, on the Copper City
Limited. When the train reached Stu
art he got off and stood on the platform
until his train pulled out for Anaconda.
when does the train leave for Ana
d ?" he inquired of the agent.
There it goes aroun the BEND was
the reply.
After explaining how the conductor
took up his hat check before reaching
Stuart, and condemning all such juno
ton points he walked into the city, a
distance of nine miles, arriving in time
for supper
He claims there are five great junction
points in Montana-Stuart, Silver Bow,
Garrison. Drummond, Logan and Shelby
Junction-but Stuart takes the cake.
