Drastic Measure To Be Taken within the Coming Months
 Is Reported.
BREWERS RESPONSIBLE
Liquor Manufacturers in England Suggested the Method for Sake
 of Economy.

LONDON. March 2S. - Thirty thousand saloons in Great Britain will probably be closed during the next few months, according to The Mail. The measure is proposed as a solution of the difficulty arising from the compulsory restriction of the beer output and the brewers are stated to be in practical agreement with the government in regard to the remedy.
 The closing of the saloons is said to have been suggested by some of the brewers themselves. They con tend that there were too many dis tributinC agencies and that third of them could be suppressed with out inconyeniencing the public, while such step would enable the llouor trade to be conducted more economically. The arrangement seems to be, in brief, pooling agreement the rival brewers who own the public houses. The brew CTS have been conferring recently with the home office and the rec concentrations drafted at these con- ferences will be submitted, to a general meeting of brewers.I

Judge Esteile, who with the other
judges visited the hospital last Tues
day, started the indignation fireworks.
The judge told of seeing an old man
pursuing cockroaches and bedbugs
with a blow torch, while on the other
hand, he said, the inmates apparently
were fed like kings, as he noticed
lamb chops on the breakfast table,
which, he said, was more meat than
his family had that morning.
Crowded Like Hogs
"The present county hospital is no
fit place to house humanity" Judge
EsteIle told the commissioners. 1.-THE
people out there are crowded together
like hogs, and in describing certain
other things, unsanitary would be put
ting 1t mildly. There is great danger
from FIRE and practically no protec-
ton in case a blaze broke out"
Judge Esteile said that when new
hospital was erected. il would be a
great mistake to have basement,
as some day it might be used for
human beings as is the case at pres
cnt.
Representative Goodall interrupted
the Judge and asked him il the chas-
ing Of the cockroaches was chin
cidence or daily sport with the in
mates. The Judge replied that 1t was
matter Of self protection.

Dr.. r. w. Bliss, chairman Of the

acterized the hospital as the most ter
rible vermin-ridden place that he had
ever been in. He said that he lifted
up the bedclothes on a mold mans cot
one day and thousands OF cockroaches
scrurried for shelter. II is extremely
hard to get nurses and internes to
work in the hospital, because Of the
'unsanitary conditions, DR.. Bliss said.
The facilities Of the county hospital,
he asserted, should at least be such
that person who Is going to die
could do so in privacy and not with
scores OF other patients about him.
DR.. Bliss also mentioned the great
danger from fire.
Absolute Discredit.
Judge Troup told the commission
ers that the present hospital would
be an absolute discredit to any county
in any state. Omahans, he said, take
great pride in showing visitors their
skyscrapers, parks and other, show
places, but added that they wouldn't
