of the saloon license caused much no

FORMER NURSE
LEAVES PLACE
Miss Alice Wood Resigns
from Portchsster Hospital

Miss Alice Wood and Miss Sarah
Engvall, who recently resigned as
heads of the city hospital here, have
just resigned from the United Hos
pital, at Port Chester, N. Y. The
cause Is said to be a strike among
nurses generally in the institution
because the managers would not fur
nish them with escorts while passing e
through lonely woods near the hos
pital. Doctors have begun to boy
colt the institution and as a result
it Is handling few but accident ana
emergency cases. Miss Wood, who
WAS head nurse and Miss Engvall
one of her assistants, left the hos
pital yesterday.
Within two or three days, as soon
as the safety and comfort of patien Is
is assured at least half Of the re-
naming fourteen nurses will go it is
declared. They state they don't wish
to remain associated with a hospital

fore Memorial day. is declared to be
the direct cause of the disorder 1t
Is stated the managers would not
grant repeated requests to furnish
escorts and said IL the young women
were afraid to go out they could stay
at the hospital. 1--WE will make a
rule to the effect that they shall stay
there and not go to the village, when
not on duty" they stated. Miss Wood
refused to enforce any such rule.
Local physicians are interested in
the matter inasmuch as those of the
hospital staf were largely instru-
mental in causing Miss Wood and
Miss Fngvall to be ousted here. One

the exact reason why the United hos

they did.

fused in September of last year and
granted in December; that the bond
in the case was insufficient accord
ing to form, etc.
The yaseline works objected to the
license being transferred as then 1t
would have placed a liquor sales
room too close to th Fr employees and
interfere with them in their services;
that the saloon would then have
been within 200 feet of their place
of business, and that there was no
saloon in that vicinity and the resi-
dents desired none.
On the night when the transfer
ence was granted George Wustefeld
appeared before the board with a pc
tition against the granting of the
application, ahd Mr.. Wight presented
one urging the favorable action.
The act of the old excise board in
acquiesCing to the request was look
ed upon by many as a bold, flagrant
act of the commissioners perpetrated
when they knew in a few weeks they
would yacate their offices, as the ap
plication had been refused by them
three months previous.
Mr. Wight, attorney for Lenchiski.
stated this morning that he did not
believe that any other action in the
matter would be taken as the IL
cense by this time had only a few
months duration.
In the opinion setting aside the
transfer. the Supreme Court said
1.-The Board was without jurisdiction
to transfer a license not granted be-
fore the date of the notice.
