CLOTHES LINE THIEF
 SENTENCED TO JAIL
Sailor Arrested for Stealing
 H0rSe-0ther Cases

John Krause, whom the police term
 a professional clothesline man" was
 before Judge John H. Kirkham in po-
 lice court this morning on a charge
 of breach of the peace and he was
 asked to explain his presence in the
 back yard of the Russian Orthodox
 church early this morning. His eX-
 planation having been unsa tisfactory,
 he was sentenced to 30 days in jail
 The accused was arrested by Officer
 William Souney at 3:30 in the church
 yard, for tampering with the clothes-
 lines.
 Krause Has Record.
 Krause is well known in police
 circles both in this city and in Der
 lin having been bound over to the
 superior court from the Berlin town court on one occasion after which he served a term in the state prison. When arrested this morning he told the officer that he had been taking a walk. Rev. Andrew Vanrich, pas tor of the church stated that he had never seen the man before and had not given him permission to cut through the church yard. There is no pass-way through the premises al though it is possible to reach Beaver street from Washington by walking through the yard.
 Had Toothache. The accused denied intent to take anything from the clothes lines and was up so early in the morning, he said, because he had a severe tooth ache. He was about to return to his | home when Officer Souney placed him under arrest, he told the court. Sailor Took Horse. Bennie Okenquist, aged 19, seaman, aboard the U. s. s. New York, plead ed guilty this morning to taking a 1 horse owned by James J. White on l the evening of July and returning l it the following morning bearing the appearances of having been abused. Upon his promise to return at once to the navy he was allowed to go free He enlisted last January and is slated for three years more serv- ice. His enlistment followed an auto
 mobile mix-up which caused his ar rest, and his desire to enter the service was responsible for his dis charge at that time.
 Animal Was Abused. The young sailor in company with two other local boys went to the stables at 9:30 and took the horse without MT. Whites permission, he stated. At 6:30 the following morn ing the horse was found in the yard of the stables still wet from the re- suits of ver-driving. The police will locate the other boys and bring them to court for the theft.
 Other Cases.
 A fine of s2 without costs was inn posed upon Louis Lloyd for parking his car in a restricted district. He allowed his car to stand for 20 min utes in front of the Y. M. c. A. yes- terda,y and was arrested by Officer John Liebler.
 A nine year old boy was lectured by Judge Kirkham in cham bers this morning for the theft of $10 from l his mother. The boy took the money | to purchase a baseball glove and when arrested by Officer McEvoy told l him that a, brother recently return ed | from the service had given him the
 money.

Records Of the Surgeon Generala'
office show that approximately l00,-
700 young men called to the colors
under the selective service act during
Ihs war were rejected, because Of
suberculosis. Only five percent Of all
men examined or more than one in
twenty failed to qualify for this rea-
son. Upon this basis it has been
worked out since the war that there
are about 1000, 900 cases Of tubercu-
losis in the population of age groups
between 81 and 81 years.
The annual death rate from tuber-
culosis in this country As shown from
= recent survey is 10000. Prior to
the war efforts of such organizations
as the National tuberculosis Associ-
stion and the Colorado Public Health
Association, and affiliated organiza-
tion, had succeeded in reducing the
Heath rate from the disease nearly 80
percent between 1904 and 1916. As q
direct result Of the war the rate has
been greatly increased due to indus
trial pressure and in some measure
to the influenza epidemic.

TRAVELLING DIsPENsARIEs =.
10 De OPERATED NEXT YEAR

For the benefit Of citizens Of Colo
rado who are too sick or too isolated
to search out doctors and hospitals.
two travelling dispensaries will be
operated during the coming year by
the Colorado Public Health Associ-
alton. Remote settlements where
there are no doctors and nurses viii
be specially aided.
The necessity Of bringing health
work to the doors Of every one who
needs assistance has been increased by
the war, according to leading physi-
clans Of the state. Military sxamin-
ing boards in Colorado repected 1850
men for service because they showed
symptoms Of tuberculosis and many
Others developed il after they were
admitted to the army or the navy.
Sixty percent of the discharged sold
iers who apply to the federal vocation
al board at Denver for assistance have
tuberculosis, according to board Of
ficials.
Special effort will be made by the
Colorado Public Health Association,
which is financed largely by the sale
of Red Cross Christmas seals, to fol-
low up these men and their families.
Emphasis in the health campaign will
be laid upon the fact that tuberculosis
is both durable and preventable with
proper treatment and precautions.
Public health nurses sent out by the
state association will seek out cases
