But Declares That She Intended to
Play a Joke OH Friends-Weeps as
Sentence is Passed Upon Her.

Olga Ebert, aged seventeen, well
dressed and comely, was brought be-
fore Judge Randall in the municipal
court this morning charged WITH enter
4 ing house at 500 Fremont avenue.
She entered a plea of guilty to the
charges against her and the court sent
enced her to the Industrial School for
Girls at Milwaukee to remain in the
custody Of the institution until she
attains the age Of twenty one years.
None Of the members of the family
of the young woman appeared in her
defense. The mother Of the young
woman had been asked to come to
court, but she declined to appear, de-
clarlng that the girl scarcely out of
the short skirt period was incorrigible.
The defendant Wept as if her heart
would break after she had been sent
enced by the court. She was taken to
the Milwaukee institution this after
noon to begin her four years sent
ence there.
The complaint against the girl was
made by Assistant Chief of Police New
house, who arrested her at her home
on Newell street late Wednesday af-
ternoon. On last Tuesday afternoon
the home Of Miss Ada Alderman on
Fremont Ave-, was entered and lot

woman in the neighborhood had seen
the Ebert girl coming out of the house
and when the case was reported to the
police the assistant chief went to the
Ebert home and the mother of the girl
turned over nearly all of the articles
alleged to have been stolen. The
daughter was not at her home at the
time and later when the assistant chief
went to the house the Ebert girl saw
him and started to run. She was cap
tured after four blocks chase.
In court she admitted that this was
not the first time that she had been
accused of larceny and she had no ex-
cuse to make for her actions. She de-
clared, however, that she had planned
to return the articles taken from the
Fremont avenue house. She admitted
to the court that she had made fire.
quent trips to Waukegan and that she
had room in that city where she had
spent some time. She declared that
the statement Of her mother that she
had been married at Waukegan a few
days ago was incorrect.
The mother of the girl informed the
police that she had been constant
source Of trouble and that for this rea-
son she would prefer that the court
take charge of her and seek to effect
her reformation. All of the articles
taken from the Fremont avenue house
with the exception of gold locket
were recovered by Assistant Chief
Newhouse.

TAKE NELSON TO RACINE.
Man Accused of Bigamy Must Stand
Trial in Racine Municipal Court.

Gust Heland Nelson, arrested here
on Tuesday evening on charges of big
amy preferred by Annie Swanson Mel
son of Chicago, who claimed that she
married him in June, 1911, was taken
to Racine on Wednesday and WAS held
for trial in the municipal court of
Racine. Records of the marriage of
Nelson and Miss Althea Sundstrom
were found in the offices of the Rev.
Mr.. ChenoNeth Of Racine and he adj
mitted that he had officiated at the
ceremony which united Nelson to his
second wife. The Kenosha wife Of
Nelson accompanied him to Racine. A
strong effort is to be made to secure
the release of Nelson on parole as it is
declared that the officials of both Ra-
cine and Kenosha county are convinc-
ed that the man was deceived in re-
gard to the ceremony alleged to have
been performed in Chicago.

That the saloons are not all power
erful in the present council and that
this body as at present constituted
proposes to let the people most direct
ly interested have something to say in
regard to the location of saloons in
their neighborhoods was again demon
strated Monday evening when a re-
neWal of the license at 317 Milwaukee
avenue was refused by the council.
The police had had considerable trou-
BILE regulating this place and the Ii
cense was suspended for cause in
March, but the real thing that in
fuenced the council to refuse the IL
cense was a remonstrance signed by
large majority of the property own
ers in the neighborhood. The property
owners felt that they had won no
table victory when the application for
license for this place was turned
down by a unanimous vote of the
council and the action of the council
certainly was a marked change from
the days when saloons were ruthlessly
planted Z in residence districts with
out the slightest attention being paid
to the protests Of the property own
ers whose property was deprecated in
value by the entrance Of the saloon
into the neighborhood.

1t will be noted that the auditor
again calls attention to the claims the
city has against the street railway and
the gas company amounting to about
$3.50 in his annual report on the
finances of the city. Last October the
council ordered an effort made to col
lect this money, but if an attempt to
get 1t was made it was apparently un-
successful. There is nothing to be
gained by carrying these accounts on
the books year after year and if they
cannot be collected they should be
written off. If the city has case the
people might be interested in knowing
just how the company succeeded in
staving off payment so long. Just at
present it woull be difficult to recall
anything that the companies have done
for the city that entities them to any
special fayors.

DEFICIT IN HOSPITAL FUNDS
Great Number of Patients Taken Care
of During the Past Two Years But
Income is not Sufficient Go Meet De-
mands of Growing Institution.

The biennial report of the Kenosha
Hospital Association, covering the two
years from Feb ], 1911 to Feb. /, 1913,
has just been issued and it contains
some very interesting facts in regard
to the management and the work done
by the Kenosba hospital during the
two years. The financial report of the
institution shows that it has not been
self sustaining during the two years
period and at the end Of the year end
ing Feb. /, 1912, there was deficit Of
$2,53473. At the end Of the year end
ing Feb. l, 1913, the deficit was 1861.
The financial report shows that the
total expenses for the two years were
$40, 72O04. The receipts for the same
period were $26,324.31
The detailed report of receipts for
the first year of the two year period
showed income from the wards
$4,593.72, from rooms $4, 23602, operat-
ing room 81 ,361, accouchment room
$265, from dressings $480.92, for board
$262,30, and general receipts $2,534.79.
An increase in the income Of the hos
pital was shown during the last year
when the receipts detailed showed
from wards $5,885.97, rooms $6,360.16,
operating room $l,343, accouehment
room $40, dressings $5S0.78, for
board $515.45.
The deficit has in part been made up
by receipts from the endowment fund
aud from generous gifts to the hospi-
tai. However, there is still deficit
in the finances for the two year period.
The report of the physicians show
that in the two years a total of 1,275
patients were admitted to the institu
ion or at a rate of nearly two patients
a day. There were l39 children born
= at the HOSPITAL in the two years and
76 deaths were recorded. The daily
average of patients in 19lf-1912 was
1872 and in the succeeding year 90.
This shows the increase in the bust
ness done by the hospital. During the
two years there were 7S6 operations.
The average length of the stay of
patients at the hospital in 1911-1912
was eleven days and in 19l2-1913
thirteen days. The report shows that
since the hospital was established
twenty-six young women have grad
uated from the hospital training school
and at the present time there are eight
young women registered in the school.
The report on the list of operations
is decidedly interesting. Operations
for appendicitis lead the list for the
two years with total of LAT opera
tions. During the two years there were
As cases of typhoid fever treated at
the hospital, this leading all other
cases of disease.
The report contains many interest
ing facts about the hospital and the
whole is gotten up in splendid man
ner to show the work and needs of
the institution. 1t contains an accur-
ate history of the institution and
shows just what has been done by the
board Of directors since the organiza-
ton in 1908.

The most satisfactory feature Of tie
state health report for the first three
months Of the year is the big decrease
in the number of deaths from typhoid
as compared with the same period last
year It shows that the people Of the
state are learning the value of pre-
ventive measures and that the presesce
of typhoid in any community indicates
gross carelessness somewhere.

Stealing Automobile Belonging to a
Member of the Organization.

pletion of highway work started In
henosha county were made at the
meeting of the Kenosha Automobile
Club held at the Elks Club on Wednes-
day evening and it is certain that the
road work in Kenosha for the coming
year will be just as great as for this
year. The club had on hand at the
meeting last night including monies re-
turned from the town boards, more
than twenty-three hundred dollars. In
order to make certain the completion
of the Improvement Of South Park
avenue the club has instructed the
treasurer to pay into the treasury of
/ Pleasant Prairie the sum of 500 for
| the Improvement Of this road. This
will assure an expenditure of $4,000
next year and it will provide for the
completion Of the road to the junction
with the Sheridan road. $1,000 was
ordered paid to the treasurer of the
town of Somers to secure the continu-
ance Of road work ON the north shore
road and $500 to the town of Pleasant
4 Prairie for the Sheridan road fund.
This will assure the expenditure of
$4,000 IN Somers for the north shore
road and ST. 800 on the Sheridan road.
Members of the club have been given
to understand that the boards of the
two towns will make liberal provisions
for further fund
The $500 was placed in the fund to
be offered as prize to the various
roads radiating from the city and the
committee in charge of the collection
of the prize money made the announce
| ment that it was certain that the total
fund would amount to $4,000 or over.

scription and $500 to the road with
the second largest contributions to it's
credit. People of half dozen roads
running out from Kenosha are now at

automobiles in the city and voted to
offer a reward of fifty dollars for the
arrest and conviction of any person
stealing an automobile belonging to
any Of the members of the organiza-
| tion 1t is thought that this offer
which will be published widely will
prove big safeguard for the auto
mobiles of Kenosha

in charge Of the work of securing re-
pairs on roads reported progress and
it was declared that the suggestions
Of the club have been generally follow
cd by town road officials and they have
in this way done much to provide bet
ter conditions of highways in the
county.

arranging a number Of events for later
in the summer among others being a
run to Lake Geneva.
A large number of the members of
the club were present at the meeting
and the enthusiasm shown indicates
that the automobile owners are united.
