Police inefficiency and Commits
sioner Ringers refusal to keep the
pulmotor in repair were directly re-
sponsible for the death Wednesday
night of Joseph Wiley. the l2-year
old boy, who died after being res
cued from Georges lake between
Benson and Happy Hollow. accord
ing to Mr., Ringers own admission.
Young Wiley was taken from Is
feet of water and life was not ex-
tinct for half an hour.
Had there been one of the paid
city physicians at the police sta
ton to answer the emergency, as
there is supposed to be at all times,
and had the pulmotor been in work
ing order. young Wiley would be
alive today.
This is the belief of those who
exerted all of the efforts at their
command to save the boys life.
Ringer Admits Charge.
Commissioner Ringer, who was
criticized severely for not keeping
the pumotor in repair, which re-
suited in the death Of several school
children a month ago in Riverview
park, admits he has made no effort
to put the lungmotor in working
order. He declared he did not be-
lieve in pulmotors, notwithstanding
the fact they are used successfully
every day all over the country.
No effort is being made, said Mr..
Ringer, to keep the police pulmotor
in working order. "On the advice
of Health, Commissioner Manning
some time ago, we are not keeping
these pulmotors up. DR.. Manning
advised US that the manual form of
resuscitatio is the most reliable"
said the police commissioner, and
that the pulmotors are not reliable
and not worth keeping in working
condition"
Police Commissioner Ringers re-
fusal to repair the lungmotor was
the cause of the deaths of one or
two of the children in Riverview
park, according to the statement of
one of the policemen who helped
take the children from the water
at that time.
Showed Signs Of Life
S. S. Montgomery, SOLO Chicago
street, declared that while he was
attempting to resuscitate Wiley
Wednesday, the victim showed signs
of life, and that it is more than prob
able if the police, who were already
on the scene, had been accompan-
led by a physician ready to use the
pulmotor, the child's life would
have been saved.
Montgomery, who is indignant
over the inability of the police de-
partment to meet emergency cases
of this character, made the follow
ing statement:
"When l reached the scene of the
drowning the police were there
without a physician or pulmotor. |

To Install Automatic
Telephones in Tyler
and Douglas Exchanges

Douglas and Tyler exchanges OF
the Nebraska Telephone company
will be supplied with automatic tele-
phones to supplant the less modern
manual" instruments now in use,
according to an announcement by
President w. B. T. Belt.
Though the change has been
definitely decided. upon, it will not
take place until some time in 1921,
before which time the supplies and
equipment necessary for the install
lation of the new instruments can
not be manufactured and transport
ed to this city.
The material and equipment has
already been contracted for. A
year will elapse before the new
equipment can be installed after it
arrives here, said Mr.. Belt.
All employees of the company will
be retained after the substitution,
although this will necessitate the
transfer OF many girls now employ
ed as operators to other depart
ments.
The shortage of employees is so
great at present that it is believed

Police Inefficiency Is Cause of
Another Drowning Tragedy
Commissioner Ringer Admits Pulmoters Were Not Re-
paired After Death of -Four Children Month Ago
He Says: eve Don't Believe in Them"

worked over the boy and at one time
there were indications of life being
still in the body. I am convinced
that if the police had brought a
pulmotor and physician with them,
the boys life would have been
saved.
II asked the policeman where the
pulmotor was. They told me it was
out of commission. 1t looks as if
the city could not afford a pull
motor. BY the time private ply
sicians could be reached the boy was
dead.
Citizens Plan Action.
II will start a subscription list by
giving $40 towards the purchase of a
pulmotor for the city, and if it is
necessary citizens should start an
other subscription list to pay for the
services of a physician, who will re-
main at the police station ready to
respond to such emergency calls"
Mr.. Ringer has several physicians
on his pay roll, who are charged
with the duty of remaining at the
station at all times. There was no
physician at the station month ago
when the distress call was sent in
from Riverview park.
Mr.. Ringer has made no effort to
explain this negligence. So far as
is known, he took no steps follow
ing the Riverpark tragedy to see that
the city physicians charged with the
duty of remaining at the police sta
ton did not neglect their duty in the
future.
The drowning occurred at s
o'clock. In company with Irving
Williams, 2547 North Sixtieth ave-
nue.; Keith Cannell. 1881 North
Sixty-hfth street; Walter Shelley,
46l2 Parker street, and Paul Mon
roe, Fortieth and lizard streets, the
Wiley boy went for a plunge in the
cold waters of the lake. His COM
panions stated that he was unable
to swim and got into deep water.
One of the boys rushed to the Hap
Ply Hollow club telephone and called
the police station. In the meantime
several physicians responded. R. E.
Montgomery, sos Davenport street,
recovered the body by diving.
Just four weeks ago yesterday -four
children were drowned in the pond
at Riverview park on account OF
carelessness in not protecting the
little folks who were allowed to use
boats which were rented by the
concessionaire of the park. 1t WEI
stated at that time on reliable au-
thority that pulmotor in time and

stance the man was a mere boy who
had once been thief, but who now
is trying to live up to the higher
ideals of life-honesty, truth and
faithfulness. A queer turn of eff
cumstances causes the boy to think
the girl a thief and, thus deprived
of this inspiration, which had kept
him from joining his pals, he now
goes back to the old game"
