Omaha daily bee., 1907-01-20

This is the time of year when socially
things should be humming. Fun and gaiety
should be at its height The days and
nights should be crowded with entertain
ments. Instead of looking for amusement
one should be revealing in 1t. as there 10
an inexhaustible supply OF It and OF new
fresh amusement too, that resembles none
of che old variety, II only the fun-loving
element would get out of this state Of
lethargy they have been assuming since
the holidays and usher in a little excite
ment. OF course, there has been some
entertaining this week, but II has been
general and by no means confined to any
one set, consequently no one has had a
particularly gay time. Society has always
been accused OF entertaining systematically.
but dullness at this time of the year is
unheard OF and makes one feel that the
Lenten season has really begun in advance.
Still society hardly seems ready for peni-
tence and seclusion with several attractive
visitors here, any one of whom seem far
Indifferent to a good time So perhaps this
Is only a transition and may be the pTepa-
ration for brilliant events to come.

CRUELTY CAUSED PATIENTS DEATH
investigation Showed That at Tren- ton Hospital For Insane Enoch Silvers Was Beaten to Death
 by Two Attendants.

TRENTON, N. J., July 30. - The board of managers of the State Hos- pital For the Insane here have by reso- lution dismissed Dr. John W. Ward, the medical director of the institution. The testimony given by Dr. Ward be- fore the house investigation committee, when he said that Enochs Silvers, a pa tient, had died from the effects of be- ing beaten by two attendants, is cited in their report. This testimony, the resolution declared, was in contradic- tion of the statement made by Dr. Ward to the managers at the time of SIver's death.
 It was also in contradiction of the testimony given by Dr. Ward to the medical committee of the hospital when they investigated Silver's death. These facts were given as "the reason why Dr. Ward should not be retained with benefit to the institution"
 Dr. Rafferty, chairman of the med ical committee of the board of man. agers, was temporarily placed in charge of the hospital, and after the adjournment of the managers he pro ceeded to the institution and took charge, at the same time delivering to Dr. Ward a copy of the resolution.
 Dr. Ward had been medical director of the hospital for about forty years He is now about seventy years old. No action was taken by the board of man agers relative to Warden Hayes.
 The dismissal of Dr. Ward is under stood to have been advised by Govern or Stokes, who held conference with Judge vroom, president of the board of managers.
 Dr. J. Arthur McClintock, the bac teriologist of New York, testified that he had made tests of flies caught at tho COW stable and had discovered typhoid germs.

ORIOLES WERE
THE WINNERS
Defeated the Union Springs
Team Yesterday by the
Score of 3 to !.

One of the best games to be wit
messed on the Palmetto Beach dia-
mond this season was that of yester-
day afternoon, when the Orioles OF
the City League, defeated the Union
Springs, Ala, team by the score of 3
to l. The game was witnessed by a
large crowd.
The visiting team is a strong one,
and but for a couple of errors at crit
cal periods, they would have given
the Orioles a much harder struggle
than they did. Fast and snappy ball
was played by both teams from tart
to finish, the batteries doing excel
lent work, and receiving brilliant sup
port from the infeld, excepting a
couple of instances by the intield of
Union Springs, which allowed runs
to score.
Evans and McKeon of the Seventy
Seventh company battery, played
with the Orioles, owing to the alb
sence of Gordon and Lurton. while
Phil. Sanchez was on second.
In the game this afternoon the
regular battery, Gordon and I.urton,
will be in the game, while the visit
ors will put in an exceptionally strong
battery.

Conservative Element Runs
Chicago Telegraphers'
Meeting Sunday.
q Assoclated eress.


Chicago, July 8.-The telegraph
operators employed by both CONNER
cial telegraph companies in Chicago
will not go on strike for a week, at
least. At the meeting yesterday,
called for the purpose of voting on
the strike proposition, it was decided
to postpone action for one week -Four
members of the executive commit
tee of the telegraphers' union, who
were present, addressed the meeting,
and all of them argued against the
men precipitating walkout while the
negotiations were being carried on by
Labor Commissioner Neill, looking to
a settlement by arbitration. There
were many radicals in the meeting,
who clamored for an immediate
strike, but the conservative element
was in the majority. and it was the
final decision that Mr.. NeiH should
be given another week in which to
carry on his peace negotiations.
