FOR COUNTY HOSPITAL
Investigation to Follow Bursting Of
Bomb and Dropping Of Heads.
INQUIRY INTO ELsAssER REGIME
one Matter 60 Come Before Commas
sion r. Protest Recently Filled
against Return OF the
Head Nurse,

The resignation Of r. r. ~Seasongood.
druggist at the County hospital, has been
mailed to the Board OF County Commits
sioners.
Mr.. seasongood's action, which Is not
voluntary, is the newest development in
the situation at the hospital. This ends
for the time being at least the severance
Of employees OF the hospital from their
positions. 1t Is regarded possible that the
investigation, which begins Monday after
noon. may develop facts which win lead
to the chopping off OF other official heads
The whole conduct OF the institution
since a. Fred Elsasser became superinten.
dent Is likely TO come up for review be-
fore the Investigation ls ended and Mr
Elsasser may be afforded a chance to
demonstrate how well or how III he has
served in the position.
One matter which will certainly come up
before the commissioner is that Of a pro.
test against Miss Lena Higgins return to
the hospital recently. Miss Higgins. fol-
lowing her discovery at the hospital, Tell
III and was absent from the hospital for
several weeks. 7
Protest Against Her Return.
When she was about to return the other
Day the unpleasant news was CoMlfnunlca-
ted to her that a protest had been signed
by a number Of nurses Of the hospital
against her return to the place as head
nurse.
Miss Higgins believes that this petition
was not spontaneous in its origin. that the
nurses would never have signed 1t unless
urged by some one. and she has a good
working idea Of just who this some one
is. Mrs. Elsasser, wife of the superinten-
dent Is blamed by Miss Higgins friends
for the circulation Of the petition.
II they have the proof Of this, It has not
been produced. The matter will at all
events be thoroughly slfted at the coming
inquisition.
The protest against Miss Higgins return
is now in the hands OF the chairman of
the committee on the county hospital, jeff
w. Bedford.
The Board of County Commissioner met
as usual Saturday morning, but the hospi-
tai matter did not come before it in any
shape All business was OF a routine ma
ture.

Inventors Genius
Goes for Pittance
W. J. Points Car Patents Were Sold
for $700-Now His Associates
May Realize Fortune.

How an inventor once again sacrificed
his chance at fortune, sold for a pittanoe
that which would have made him rich, is
demonstrated in the case Of w. J.(Points,
an employee in the McKeen motor works
until death. Points sold his half interest
in q patent to a st. Louis man for 500,
the sale covering the American rights.
Bartholomew Julien, his associate, also let
60 OF his American rights, but stands to
win $4,000 a year royalties. it is said, for
the European rights. Points sold his Eu-
ropean privileges for another pittance.
H. w. Mcdaniel was first appointed spe-
administrator OF the Ponts estate, but
Mr.. Julien, who is general car foreman
at the McKeen shops, was named admins
traitor Saturday by Judge Leslie, following
a hearing Of the contest. There does not
seem much likelihood hat Points estate

OMAHA IS UP, SAYS COSCROVE

THINKS HIS TRIP PROFITABLE
Brings Information He Believes VIII
ne Useful 20 Comptroller in sub
hitting Plan to the City
Council.

Deputy City Comptroller Cosgrove has re-
turned from his trip Of investigation into
municipal accounting of American cities.
Mr.. Cosgrove has been in a dozen states and
has met and conferred with the principal
accounting officers Of about forty different
cities. He has gathered a mass Of informa-
ton and a stack of blanks that he says
will prove Of great value to the city off
cials OF Omaha in framing up the new
forms for the occupation tax collections
and bookkeeping.
Omaha is really as far ahead as any city
in its essential accounting said Mr.. Cos
grove. by that / mean our checks on the
cash box are as effective and curate as
any 1 have seen. There are some methods
OF distribution, however. that are admira-
HE. For instance, here we ave -four funds
general, sinking, school and water board.
In many cities they have a much more ex-
tended system of municipal division OF
funds, by number or letter index, and some
divide their moneys differently from our
plan. Thus, under the head OF public
safety, will be all the moneys for the fire
and police departments, and other divisions
are made along lines that suggest them
selves as sensible and feasible.

DETECTIVE BLAMES
SOCIETY FOR CRIME
Captain Petersen in Address
Says Bad Environment and
Neglect Make Evil Doors

OAKLAND. Nov. 21.-Captain of De-
tectives Walter J. Petersen dipped into
theoretical criminology tonight at the
Pilgrim Congregational church, Eighth
avenue near East Fifteenth street
where he delivered an address on Men
Who Catch Men"
He dealt with the. experiences of a
policeman with crooks and laid before
his auditors sociological causes of
crime. He declared that society was
more responsible than the unfortunate
man punished by the laws.
The prospective criminal being
born what does society do to prevent
his becoming q criminal2" asked Cap
tain Petersen. Practically nothing.
The child of the honest poor is allowed
10 run the streets and TO contract evil
and vicious habits; the result is event
uaIly a criminal a drunkard or a pros
titute The child with hereditary GRIM
inal tendencies is allowed to run the
same course. The diseased or degen-
crate child, whose parents are unable
TO care for him. is allowed to be eX-
posed TO pernicious influences and
vicissitudes which unless he is for
tunate enough TO die young eventu-
ally make him burden upon the
country.
What is the remedy at the present?
Society Furnishes the vicious child after
the criminal act has been committed
sends the diseased one to the hospital
TO be supported by the public after he
has become helpless. Even in this, the
twentieth century. the child who has
committed his first Offense is in many
communities thrown by the authorities
into contact with older and more hard
ened criminals and has his criminal
education completed. The same fate is
meted out 10 the adult first offender.
We have millions for sectarian uni
versities. for foreign missionaries, and
7 see no objection TO the spending of
this money. but we have practically
nothing for the redemption of children
OF vicious propensities or corrupt op-
portunities, who are the product of
our social system. Every penal insti-
tuition. every expensive process of
criminal law is a monument to the stu
pidity and wastefulness of society. the
expenditure of money and energy TO
cure q disease that might be largely
prevented and more logically treated
where not prevented
Defining the criminal Captain Peter
sen said;
The criminal is a product of certain
conditions of heredity and environment
over which he has little or no control
and for which our social system is di
rectly or indirectly responsible. If
these conditions are remediable by So
ciety then society's responsibility and
duty are plain"
