LITTLE CHANCE SEEN
DR.. Billings Letter Indicates
KenOsha Would Have to Give
sSite to Be Considered at All.

Kenosha's chance of Securing the
location of-one of the proposed federal
hospitals for the care of wounded and
disabled soldiers, slipped today and
slipped beyond recall. A letter re-
ceive from DR.. Frank Billings of Chi
cago, one of the members of the ad-
ylsory committee Of physicians named
to act in the location of the proposed
hospitals for the federal government,
declared that the committee had no
orders to consider sites for the location
Of hospitals other than property owned
by the United States government.
Secretary H. j. Mellum received the
letter from DR.. Billings this morning
and at once called meeting of the
special committee to act in the mat
ter. The meeting was held at the Of
flee of Mayor Joachim just after noon
today. 1t was evident that. if Kenosha
is to be considered some one must cede
to the government a site for hospital
and that this must be given either by
the property owner interested or BY
some organization of property own
ers. No such site has been sug-
gested to the committee recently
named to urge Kenosha as the site
for one of the hospitals
Letter Leaves Little Chance.
The letter Of DR.. Billings follows:
Chicago, Mar. %, 1921.
Mr. H. j. Mellum,
Kenosha, Wisconsin.
My Dear Sir
This is to acknowledge the receipt
of your leAer of March 25th At. this
time | can not tell you more than this:
The committee Of which am a member,
has been informed by the federal au-
thorities that no sites for hospitals
would be purchased by the government.
Such new hospitals as may be erected
will be placed on government owned
property. If you wishsto communicate
further with the committee, address
your letter to DR. W. C. White, care of
the advisory committee on hospitals,
Buffers building, Washington, D. c.
Very truly yours,
Frank Billings.
Find Opposition Developing.
Members of the committee this morn
ing found that there had been consid-
cradle opposition to the LOCATION of the
hospital in Kenosha which has develop
ed in the last few days. A number Of
people have called on members of the
committee and urged that Kenosha
make no. effort to secure the location
of the institution.
'This letter practically settles the
matter declared Mayor Joachim, who
is chairman of the committee. 4 do
not feel that there will be any one in
Kenosha who viii want to give the gov
eminent fifty or hundred acres as a
hospital site and the letter of DR.. Bill
ings pretty plainly indicates that it
is the, purpose of the commission to
locate these hospitals on government
property along with other institutions

Mrs. Scion Jacobs, one of the mem
bers of the committee who called
upon the commissioner of public
safety said yesterday afternoon prior
to the conference with Mr.. Cloe, 81
have the utmost confidence In Com
missioner Cloe's integrity. He
signed the QUESTIONABLE favorably
concerning the women's department
and We feel that he will maintain
the department without the least
doubt"
The QUESTIONABLE suggested that
the department maintain four women
Tor the work necessary. The League
or Women Voters refused to put
themselves on record as having adyo-
Gated the retention or release of any
women now in the department or of
suggesting candidate for the va
cancy now existing with but three
women in the department. Follow
ing the conference with the commits
sioner, Mrs. Jacobs stated that the
commissioner had lived up to their
expectations and would maintain the
department"
The League of Women Voters com
mittee composed of Mrs. Scion ia
cobs, Mrs. Richard Johnston and Mrs.
w. ID. Nesbit waited for the return
of the city commissioner from a
luncheon held at the Tutwiler hotel
in a private dining room yesterday
noon, the committee spending most
of it's time in the office of Mrs.
Mary Echols, commissioner of educa-
ton and health.
"Our interview was entirely salts
factory" stated Mrs. Jacobs.
Board Of Education Place
Aside from the above statement.
nothing further could be learned as
to the nature of the interview except
that the league had been advocating
the placing of a woman in the exist
ing vacancy created by the resigna-
tion of Mrs. Echols from the board of
education to take UP her duties on
the commission.
Continued rumor to the effect that
Mrs. Echols favors the placing of
man on the board is given as the
cause of the agitation stirred up
among the women of the city. espe-
cially those in the Ensley district.
The result of the interview between
the committee of the league and Mrs.
Bchols was said to be entirely salts
factory to the league. 1t remains to
be seen today following the regular
council chamber at O'Clock just
what the result of that interview
was.
The commissioners are expected to
make further appointments at this
meeting today, among which will
probably be appointment to fill the
board of education vacancy. the ap-
pointment of a purchasing agent, the
naming of the three assistants to the
city attorney, confirmation of the po-
lice department appointments as an

additional ones. possibly few

COMEDY, WELL ACTED,
AT THE JEFFERSON

"Bab."s which was presented at the
Jefferson theatre last night, is a
sparkling comedy based on the ad-
ventures of a sub-deb with a tenn

The play Is rich in the near
sophistication of a young girl who
imagines that the great things of life
are raging in her soul and by virtue
of these impulses and because of the
extreme difficulty of being under
stood--as she fondly believes-she
manages to scandalize, exasperate
and upset the members of her family
generally. But back in the head-or
heart-of Bah" are the real worth
while qualities and despite her Laura
Jean Libbey style and mixture of
melodrama with precocious w.t. she
manages to bring the story to an
ending that promises happiness all
around.

chap whom Bah. is most concerned
about decides to make a man OF him
self for her sake in far-away Poland.
1t is understood, OF course. that he
will come back quite able to support
himself and family.

Reasons for DIsbanding
IF the organization does disband,
which now seems a certainty" said
C. w. Crump. police sergeant and
president of the association. ut will
be because of the large number OF
men now on the 6olice force who are
not members of the relief association.
1t may be reorganized in order to
take in all of the officers on the force
who care TO join and take advantage
of the btnefits derived from its
funds. In this event it will not in
clude any of the men who are not
members of the force, as is now the
case. due to the fact that so many OF
the patrolmen have resigned since
its organization. A vote was taken in
which the majority ruled for the dis
bandment of the association. A com
mittee was appointed to take up the
matter from a legal standpoint. Five
men were appointed on this commit
tee"
The committee appointed started
an investigation yesterday afternoon
as to the legality of disbanding. In
the event that the organization is
disbanded the necessity for the dis
tribution of approximately $4,000
which the society now has on hand
will arise. This amount will be dis
tributed pro rata among the members.
