FATHER SENT TO. WORKS
Man Who Deserts Motherless Children
"Gets Eis.'' i

Peter Beitsch formerly a teacher in
the Hebrew school at Sixth avenue N
and Fourth street, was sent to the
workhouse today for thirty. days by
Judge E. p. Waite, for refusing to pro
vide for his two small children.
Six months ago Beitsch smallest
child, Annie, swallowed some arsenic
pills that We're lying. about the house,
summoned. Two months later the
mother was burned to death while start
ing a fire with gasolene, installing it
for kerosene. She suffered terrible ag-
ony for. several hours at the hospital
before death came. r. .
Immediately after her death Beitsch
disappeared, leaving his children, the
eldest but years old. Neighbors cared
for them and the police were notified.
Saturday afternoon Beitsch was arrest
ed in. Mankato and brought back. He
had shaved off his beard in violation of
the Jewish orthodox law and thought
to escape arrest. His own people tes-
tilted against him today: Arrangements
will be made with the Hebrew Benevo-
lent association to care for the children.

Raised In the Dominion.
M. Snetsinger Of Thornbury, Canada,
is guest at the Hyser hotel today, on his
way toethe Pacific coast. Mr.. Snetsinger
has for some years been a large exporter
of Canadian fruit
people In the states,'' said Mr.. Snet-
singer today, seem to have an idea that
what fruit Canada gets is imported, and
it is hard to make them believe that a
country which has such cold winters can
successfully raise large amount Of fruit.
This idea, however, is erroneous In the
Georgian Bay district, where, my business
centers, there is as good fruit raised as
anyone could ask for. Our peaches car
ried off some Of the best premiums at the
Chicago worlds fair. ~
| Along the south side Of the bay is one
of the finest plum raising districts in the
| world. Last year this strip produced
10000 bushels Of magnificent plums. This
is also a great apple country Mr.. Snet.
singer says Canadians are looking for an,
other great rush of people. from the states
this spring. The great demand for lands
| Is in Manitoba and the Saskatchewan dis.
tricts. There new lands have already ad
vanced from 81 to So per acre, according
to their location.

Council Hotel Protection Committee viii
Meet to Frame Ordinance. .
( Another meeting Of the city council s
special committee on hotel protection
has been called for tomorrow afternoon,
when the revised draft of the proposed
ordinance will be carefully scrutinized
Several amendments have been made in
the original measure in order to placate
the opposition from various quarters, and
then the ordinance doubtlessly will be
recommended for passage in it's present
form. Altho not as radical as the fire
and building inspection officials could
wish, it will place a great many addi-
tional safeguards around guests in hotels.
The most important provision, which
the aldermen have refused to amend, is
that all outside fire escapes must be d.
rectly accessible from the hotel corridors
or Railways. Other provisions relate to
the enclosure Of elevator shafts, red
lights, standpipes, alarm systems and the
like, which are of Importance.
