Mr.. Holdrege will go to Denver January

Presidents Willard and Miller OF the Bur-

little or no change will be made in the

acquaintance and who go out and get the
business.
Mr.. Holdrege says that while tentative
plans are being discussed for some railroad

BILL TO SOAK W0N'T-W0RKS
Associated Charities VIII Ask Legis-
lature to Punish for
NOnsuppOrt.

There will be no more feeding and
housing for a month Of irresponsible per-
sons who refuse to provide for their fami-
lies while their families are left to starve
and freeze. providing tho legislature en-
acts into law a bill which the Associated
Charities of Omaha will present to the as
sembly this winter. Instead OF the delin-
quents being given a warm home and well
fed for a month, they will be incarcerated
for a period Of three months and be COM
PEELED TO do hard labor as we'll. with
these provisions it is thought that the de-
Iinquents will decide to support their fami-
lies rather than to spend a quarter of a
year in jail.
Miss Ida JontZ, general secretary OF the
Associated Charities. presented a rough
draft of the proposed bill TO the directors
of the association at their monthly meeting
Friday afternoon, and 1t met with their
hearty approval. The bill has as yet not
been perfected and will be given to Gen
eral c.. F. Henderson, president of the as
ISOLATION, for his approval before finally
being sent to one of the Douglas county
legislators for introduction in the house.
In it's present state it provides that a man
convicted of non-support can be p~arolled
to some responsible person and allowed to
go to work. his wages first being signed
over. Should he refuse to work, then the
Jail sentence OF three months must be
served,

BRANCHES OF Rig HOSPITAL
Nebraska CITY and other Towns Want
the Methodist to Estab-
Iish There.

Method'sts Of Nebraska City and of at
least two other towns in the state are
m~eneuvering to secure the location there Of
a branch Of the Methodist Episcopal hos
pital Of Omaha. The names Of the towns
other than the one given are withheld. but
that Nebraska City is in this unique race
develops from the visit there Of Mrs. Allie
p. Mclaughlin. c. w. DeLamatre, a trustee
Of the local hospital, and Superintendent
T. 1. Wright Of the Nebraska City dis
tr!ct.
This committee looked over the sites
which Nebraska City proposes and de-
clared itself favorably impressed with the
real estate situation and also with the
promises Of money which are made there.
several communities which are in the
race are a good deal more anxious to have
the branch put in than the Omaha hospital
authorities are so TO act.
The size OF the hospital here makes its
conduct a matter Of considerable expendi-
ture OF time and energy and the addition
of one or more branches will complicate
matters somewhat. On the other hand, IL
is difficult to refuse to lend a hand, or
several hands, when Nebraska City. for
instance, will furnish the ground. the
building and the furnishing Of a branch.
Trustees Of the Methodist hospital are not
inclined TO discuss the matter until some
decision has been reached and refuse TO
give out the names OF the other towns
which have solicited the establishment Of
branches there.
