GOT IN But CAN'T GET

Doctor Locked Up for Eight Years
Seeks Freedom in the Courts.

Independence. Iowa, sMay 4.-Af-
ter having voluntarily incarcerated
himself IN an insane afylum. where
ho remained for eight fears. Edward
Ryuders, a native'of Holland, a grad
uated physician and apparently an
intelligent and cultivated man of af-
fairs. is finding il much harder to
get out OF the asylum than he claims
It was for him to get in. He has filed
with the district court petition
asking for n writ of habeas corpus.
DR.. Rynders has been acting as his
own attorney and he presepted to the
court a petition six feet long. The
petition is-said to be one of the long
est and most remarkable ever filed
in the courts of Buchanan county.
Dr. Rynders sets forth the fact that
he is not crazy. never was crazy and
never expects to be unless he be-
comes insane from being confined in
an asylum with lunatics of all kinds
The petition shows that Rynders was
born in the Netherlands, coming te
this city when young, but never hav-
ing been naturalzed Because or
the fact that he is not citizen he
claims that he has no right to be in
the hospital. Furthermore, he de-
clares that he never was committed
to the hospital. no board of commits.
sioners in insanity ever having heard
his case. He claims TO have sought
admlttance Voluntarily, his personal
request being granted. But after he
got in. the doctor says, they would
act let him out. After remaining
there eight years he came to the con-
cluslon that he would make one last
attempt to regain the liberty OF
which he was being restrained and
filed his application for a writ.
The doctors at the asylum say that
Rynders Is a victim Of Authorizations.

TREBT DEPARTMENTS
STEPS TO INCREASE IT'S CAPACI-
TY ARE TAKEN.
Board of Works to Submit Such Re-
port To Council Next
Week.

The board of public works met
yesterday afternoon and outlined
definite plans of improvement for
the street cleaning department, and
will present them TO the municipal
boards at the next meeting.
The boards requested plans SUBJ
mitted by which the street cleaning
department might be enlarged. The
board of works proposed to get one
additional street sprinkler, six addL-
,tional head of mules with harness,
one dump wagon. two dump carts.
and six more men.
The cost of this Increase can not
be known until the class of wagons
is known and the mules selected.
The board also decided to recommend
the building of sheds and stables on
North Sixth street beyond the Dog
wood factory, for the use of the
street department. This will give
more room in the rear of the city
hall and will not effect a crowded
condition that now exists.
The street Inspector was ordered
TO confer with property owners hold
ing property abutting the Lincoln
colored school yard and gain their
consent, If possible. to dedicate suf-
fclent ground to open an alley.
The street inspector was instruct
ed to remedy a defect in drainage
near the Baumer I'll on Tennessee
street. The creek bed does not afford
the proper grade and will have to be
dug down a few feet to make the
necessary decline.
The street inspector was ordered
TO make other sanitary Improvements
among them defective drainage at
Ninth and Clark and Ninth and Ad-
ans.

BOYS IN pUONAGE
LFN N. Ia fl..H
RECENT ARRIVAL OF GREEK
LADS HELD AT ELLIS
ISLAND.
win Likely BE Deported Under the
Alien Contract Labor Law
Provisions.

Washington, May A. The com
missioner general Of immigration has
before him an interesting case of a
shipoad of boys from Greece who
are held up at Ellis Island pending
an inquiry as to whether they are
entitled to admission to the United
States. The case is typical of dozens
of others that the department of
commerce and labor has had during
the past year or so, the history of all
of which suggests that the youngsters
are sent here and held under the pc
onage system.
Suspect Peonage System.
Inquiries made by agents of the
department indicate that the boys
were brought to the United States by
a society or organization with head
quarters at Sparta, and that each
boy is slated to enter some line of
industry as soon as he is released
from Ellis Island. According to the
reports of the Inspectors. some are
destined to enter bootblacking "par-
lors," others small stores. and some
will be assigned to labor camps in
various parts of the country.
Commissioner General Sargent has
recommended that all the Greek boys
be deported on the ground that they
were brought here in violation OF the
alien contract Labor law. lie believes
that the government can establish
the fact that the lads were brought
here in pursuance of an agreement,
and that they are TO be railroaded
into positions engaged for. them be-
forehand. Mr.. Sargent also believes
that the lads arc to be held as poems,
and that their wages are to be col
lected by the agents of the society
that sent them here.
Are Intelligent Lads.
Many thousands OF Greeks have
been brought TO the United States in
this manner during the past two or
three years. Most of them have be
come bootblacks and their shoe shin
ing establishments are to be found
in almost every city OF any size in
the country. They have completely
driven out of business the old-time
bootblack. The lads are for the most
