tuberculosis Ward

Taxed to Capacity

tuberculosis in Nebraska in general
and Douglas county in particular is either
showing a marked increase or else the
public is becoming more conversant with
the states efforts 10 fight the disease"
declares j. M. Leidy, administrator OF
county charities.
There are eighteen men and women on
the waiting list for attention at the
county hospital or the state hospital at
Kearney, but on account Of crowded con-
ditions in the tuberculosis wards nothing
can be done for them yet. Never before
has the list been so large.
At the Kearney hospital a new addition
to the building was recently erected, but
the money ran out and there is no pres
ent means OF operating.
Douglas county authorities are now at
work in an attempt to create a sentiment
which will influence the coming legisla-
ture TO look into the affair and appro-
pirate an adequate amount to take care

The facts, as shown by the COM
pany records, are as follows:
George W.-not Lee-Hodson
never worked in the Mccormick
plant of the Harvester company, nor
was he ever employed by this COM
pany except as a clerk. He entered
the employ Of the Deering company
in 1892, remaining there until 1904,
when he was transferred to the
Hamilton Cont works, and in 1905
began at the Weber works as cost
clerk.
Mr.. Hodson's service in the Weber
works of this company continued
until he was pensioned in March,
1915, because of disability due to To-
comOtor ataXia.
During the latter part Of March,
1916, a year after his pension began,
he fell in the kitchen of his home,
661O SangamOn St, Chicago, and sus-
tanned a fracture of the right femur.
He was taken to St. Luke's hospital,
where he died on July Is, 1916. The
verdict returned at the inquest held
at the hospital the same day declared
the death was due to the accident
mentioned. lie had never met with
any accident at the Weber works or
elsewhere during his employment
with the Harvester company.
Most of Mr.. HOdson's hospital eX-
penses were borne by the company.
He received his pension up to the
time of his death.
A letter just received from a
stranger to US who was a friend of
Mr.. HOdson says: 81 have been a

of people have gone to Ocean Pond in
the past two days to witness the phe-
nomenon of the passing away of the
waters of Clayton lake, which is con-
nected by canals with Ocean Pond. The
canals were damned and the waters of
Ocean Pond saved, but at noon today
Clayton lake was dry it's fifty feet of
water covering twenty-five acres, hav-
ing run off in three days through sub
marine passages caused by caves in the
earth. 1t is the first time since 1866
that the lake has been dry, due then
to a long drouth. 1t is believed that
the running off this time was caused by
a subterranean cayein and some do not
believe the lake will fill up again with
out filling the hole which runs under
a high embankment.
Thousands of fish have been left
stranded in the muddy bottom of the
lake, but fishermen are afraid to venture
too far toward the "sink" in getting
them.

SENATOR M'LEAN OPPOSES
PHILIPPINE INDEPENDENCE
(Bv Associated Press.0

WASHINGTON, Jan. Ex-senator
Mclean, Republican, of Connecticut, to-
day urged the senate not to vote for
relinguishing sovereignty over the Phil
ippines on the grounds that they are
military menace.
1.-THE fact is We are afraid of Japan"
he said, land Japan knows it and en-
joys it hugely. If we are to release the.
Philippines because of their hazard,
why worry that Japan is seeking a mil
itary base in Turtle bay or on the
American side of the Pacific. If we ever
have a war with Japan it will be be-
cause of our assumed superiority and
of that pride which goeth before a
fall"
Senator Mclean assailed the Clarke
amendment for Philippine indepen-
dence in from two to four years.
THE Mexicans are now enjoying the
kind of independence we will give the
Filipinos if the Clarke amendment car
ries," he said. "They are working out
their salvation in their inalienable
rights to robbery, arson and murder"
