SEES MENACE TO THE CITY
Commissioner Shows That Twelve Fam
lies Are Now Supported For This
Cause and Expects Great Increase
Later IN the Year.

Pauper Commissioners Jacob Saftig
made an appeal to the police depart
ment this morning for vigorous prose
cution of every man charged with de
seftion Of his wife and children. Four
complaints Of wives that their hus-
bands had deserted them were received
BY the police in the last twenty four
hours and it was declared that in the
past few weeks these complaints have
been coming in very rapidly. An ex-
animation of the quarterly report Of
the pauper commissioner shows that
twelve families have been placed on
the pauper list of the city on account
of the fact that husbands have failed to
take care of their wives and children.
Commissioner Saftig today furnished
the police information on cases and
urged that every possible effort be
made to locate these deserters and
bring them into court.
~ shall seek to have the law in
voked in every case of desertion, ~ de-
clared Mr.. Saftig. .These cases have
been growing so rapidly that wife de-
sertion is proving one of the hardest
problems for my department. to solve
Unless something is done to show this
class of people that they can not desert
their wives and children / am afraid
that we are going to have hard condi-
tions to meet in the fall and winter.
These fellows are Sinking their duties
to their families on account Of the high
cost fliving. When they find it hard
to get along they just naturally quit
and run away from the city, leaving
the families for the city to support.
When the time comes to buy the coal
and the winter clothing there is going
to be a lot more of the men who desert
their families unless the courts show
these men that they will be caught and
punished and punished in a way that
will mean real punishment. =
At the police Office it was declared
that the inc ase Of complaints for
wife and child desertion had been no
ticeable for some time and that in re
cent weeks it d been abnormally
large.
Commissioner Saftig d. Jared that
the closing down of sales of liquor had
not as -et been reflected to any great
extent in the work of his department.

Gets Priced Decoration From King

BATTLES WHITE PLAGUE

Kenosha people who fought i'll the

ors and many decorations but it re-
NAMED for little Kenosha woman
to win the first decoration for Ke-
nosha from the little Kingdom of Ser
bia. Letters received in Kenosha to-
day announce that Miss Constance M.
Hayes former Superintendent of Will
lowbrook Sanitorium who gave up her
work at the Sanitorium to offer her.
self for war service has been formally
decorated by the King Of Serbia. The
recognition accorded her was for her
efforts to introduce into Serbia the
great world fight against the white
plague. She has been for more than
"a year pioneering the battle against
tuberculosis in the little Balkan king
dop, starting her work among the men
IN the Serbian and Allied armies and
continuing it among the civilians fol
lowing the signing Of the artnistice
and the return of more settled condi-
tions Miss Hayes is one Of the first
women to gain recognition from the
Serbian government.
Miss Hayes was in charge Of Willow
brook during the first years Of its
work but in the spring Of 1917 when the
insistent call came for workers to 90
to the war zone she asked for leave
Of absence. Tn order to pass the ex-
aminations to get into the Red Cross
unit she went east and entered a school
of physical culture She was selected
as member Of the first tubercu
lous'' unit sent by the American Red
Cross to France and for many months
she worked near the battle front TAX
ing care Of soldiers who developed tu-
berculosis. She was in charge Of one
Of the large hospitals near Paris and
when the allied workers went to Ser
bia she was one of the first American
women sent by the Red Cross into this
little war rent kingdom. Several times
her work was in the direct path of
the advancing armies of the enemy
She remained at her hospital during
the stirring days in the summer of
1918 and at the close of the struggle
she proffered her services to the Ser
bian people to aid in the continuance
Of the battle against the white plague.
Under her active leadership this work
Lis being rapidly developed in Serbia.
Miss Hayes left Kenosha on a
leave of absence but after she had been
away from Willowbrook less than a
year she send back word that the call
to world work was SO insistent that she
could not hope to return to Kenosha
until after the world war was over.
Her stay in Serbia may be continued
for long period as she is in charge of
great work which has the entire CON
fidence Of the Serbian people and she
will probably remain until the work is
thoroughly organized.
The fact that her work for humanity
has been recognized in SO significant a
manner is a matter of great interest to
the many friends Of Miss Hayes in
Kenosha.

The city dumping place for garbage
On the Burling road appeared to be on
its last legs this afternoon and it was
predicted at the court house where
Judge Belden heard arguments, most
" against the dump that an order
would be issued before the day was
over restraining the city from further
use Of the property az dump. Judge
fSelden not csAy ifsteAs4 to evidence
and argument as to the stencil which
arose from the dump but he motored
out during the noon hour and had
Whit from the place. Court officials
who accompanied the judge declared
that the "whiff " was one of the real
arguments in favor of the petition for
an injunction. AT three O'Clock the
city began the introduction of testi-
mony and this testimony was largely
to show the need of the city for pro-
per disposal Of garbage as a health
measure. 1t was announced that the
court would make decision as soon as
the arguments were concluded
The most interesting development in
connection with the hearing was the in
production Of the possible contamina-
ton of springs in the neighborhood OF
the dumping ground. It was shown
that considerable water supply Of
the residents in the city was furnished
from these springs and the Judge took
special interest in testimony which in
dicated the possibility of the springs
being contaminated by the continued
dumping Of city garbage at the old
brick yard dump.
The protesting property owners were
nearly all on hand when the hearing
was called before Judge Belden and if
there had been any lukewarmness on
the part of any of them in favor of
the continuance of the use of the dump
ing ground it has disappeared before
the opening of the hearing this morn
ing. The property owr r. wi. aout ex-
ception when they took the stand tes-
titled that they had been able to notice
the odor from the dump and that the
continuation of this odor had been
damage to their property. Frank A.
Runals was the principal witness for
the petitioners. He declared that the
city had not properly covered the gar
bage, and his testimony was in part
born out by the testimony of Super
intendent of Garbage Collection Boyer,
who was called by the Attorney for the
petitioners. The Superintendent said
that an average of twenty loads of gar
bage was dumped daily and that posi-
bly, five loads Of ashes were used to
cover up this garbage He. said THAI
the covering disposed Of the odor TO
some extent and that was as far as
he went in the matter.
It was shown by maps produced in
court that the two springs which are
used largely for supplying table wa
tiers to Kenosha were both within 40
feet Of the dump and that the drainage
of the dump would pass through tha
ground somewhere near the springs.
The witnesses testified that damp
weather conditions which we're much
more noticeable than in dry weather
conditions but they claimed that the
dump sent out an odor which was dis
tasteful at all times.
