ROBINSON TO QUIT
KEARNEY HOSPITAL
SUPERINTENDENT of Institution
for Tubercular Patients Finds
Too Much Friction, So
Resigns Position.

Kearnev, Neb., April 25.-(SpecialD
Dr. l.. S. B. Robinson, superintendent
of the State Tuberculosis hospital. has
rendered his resignation to the State
Board OF Control, effective June /.
DR.. Robinson today preferred to make
no detail statement, but admitted
there as a condition of unrest at the
hospital such that he could not pursue
his work to advantage.
Il am the physician in charge, but
am called upon to do not only this
work, with steadily increasing number
OF patients at the hospital. Numerous
minor differences arise from time to
time. Lack of harmony and co-opera-
ton in the working forces exists,
which makes it necessary for me to
shoulder the responsibility of three
people, let alone my own. Speclhc
cases / do not care to cite for public
perusal, but | will acquaint the board
with them when the need arises. In
the meantime | will continue to give
my best efforts to the institution until
the day | resign"
At this time there are gu patients
at the hospital, compared to about 81
when DR.. Robinson came to kearney,
in January two years ago. Employed
at the institution are 80 people, the
board having granted additional help
of late.
Today but 26 are working and the
number fuctuates every day.
In hospitals for tuberculor patients
the average in employees is two and
one-tens for every patient. One OF
the difficulties here has been not so
much a shortage of help as constant
changing. DR.. Robinson states that
his corps Of nurses is very efficient at
this time, but he intimates that the
remainder OF the working force can
not be so recommended.
DR.. Robinson admitted there were
other fields to which he could turn
his attention and specialize in his line
or work, giving it his entire time and
making a creditable showing.

WILSON ATTACKED
BY U. s. SENATORS
Debate on Blanket Authority
Bill Marked by Sharp Criti-
cism of President and
Official Family.
Try Associated rrcss.)

Washington, April 2S.--A vehenl-'
cnt attack upon President Wilson
and some of the members of his Of
fetal family by Senator Sherman OF
Illinois, republican, marked the last
day of unlimited debate in the senate
on the Overman bill which would
give the president general powers tor

In a long speech opposing the
measure and asserting that the en-
ecutive had not used properly author
ity already possessed, the Illinois
senator criticised particularly Sec
retaries Baker and Wilson, Postmaster
General Burieson and George Creel,
chairman of the committee on public
information. He declared the presi-
dent had surrounded himself with So
cialists and that he should Scatter
the bunch Of economic iakirs and
howling derv' she's" now in office.
Working at Cross Purposes.
Senators Ransdell of Louisiana and
Mcclellan of Tennessee, democrats,
spoke for the bill urging that many
departments are >orking as cross
purposes under the present peace
time system and that "red tape" must
be eliminated if maximum results are
to be obtained. Since the president
will be responsible for success of the
nations war effort, said Senator
Ransdell, he should be given the
authority he thinks necessary.
In an effort to hasten effort after
5 o'clock tomorrow afternoon each
senator will be limited. by agreement
to 80 minutes discussion of the bill
itself and to 20 minutes on each
amendment offered.
Baker Termed Half Socialist"

retary Baker is half socialist and the
other half pacihst" and that Secre-
tary Wilson and Postmaster Burleson
are state socialists He also paid
his respects to Assistant Secretary of
Labor Post, Assistant Secretary of
Agriculture Vrooman and inveighed
against what he called the spread of
Bolshveki propaganda in this. coun
try.
Attacking the Non-partisan league,
the Illinois senator said its presi
dent, A. C. Townley represents Ger
man influence and has got pro-Ger-
man money some place"
Referring TO the Council of Ma
tional Defence as "nondescript' or
ganization Senator Mcclellan, who is
a member of the Military committee,
said the president should be given
power to eliminate the 81 year
men" on that body; select those who
are efficient and put them to work at
reasonable salaries. If this govern

LIBERTY BONDS
NOT LISTED FOR
PURPOSE. OF TAX
Government Obligations Are
Tax Free and Assessors Are
Listing Them for Infor-
nation Only.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)

Lincoln, Neb., April 25.-(Special.)
Prof. M. M. Fogg, head Of the Four
Minute men service OF the state, has
been appealed to by some party out
in the state to know why assessors
are listing government Liberty bonds
for taxation. Prof. Fogg has passed
the inquiry along to Attorney General
Reed with the information that min
ute men have been telling their audi
ences that the bonds are free from
taxation and wanting to know il that
is true.
In reply Attorney General Reed
says that it is true and quotes section
seven of the national act as follows:
"That none of the bonds authorized by
section one. nor of the certificates author
ICED by section five, or by section six. OF this
act. shall bear the circulation privilege. All
such bonds and certificates shall be exempt,
both as to principal and interest from all
taxation now or hereafter imposed by the
United States any state, or any or Inc
possessions of the United States, or by any
local taxing authority, except ta) estate
or inheritance taxes, and (b) graduated ad-
ditional income taxes, commonly known as
surtaxes and excess profits and war profits
taxes, now or hereafter imposed by the
United States, upon the income or rofits OF
individuals, partnerships, associations, or
corporations. The interest on an amount or
such bonds and certificates the principal OF
which does not exceed in the aggregate
$1,000 owned by any individual. partnership.
association. or corporation, shall be exempt
from the taxes provided for in subdivision
(b) Of this section"
The listing of the bonds is for in
formation purposes only and not tor
taxation, and to prevent fraud on the
part Of men who, perhaps not having
bonds, might represent that they
owned them in order to account for
money otherwise invested, which
might be taxable. They could exhibit
bond borrowed OF friend in order
to deceive the assessor, but by the
latter, taking the number OF each
bond, this could be detected.
