THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1902, BABY STARVED T0 DEATH|MARKET BREAKS THE RECORD Sensational Notation on Oard Returned te Health Commissioner. MOTHER HAD FIRST TRIED TO CHOKE IT | Chitd elved at Ch der Mysteriow Penntif 1 ving Instit Cireamnta feet of Previon cen will receive the at- coroner and police de losed Monday among the mortuary returns filed at the office of the Board of Health. One of the deaths re- ported was that of an infant whose name was glven as Jennie Zimmerer and whose death occurred Saturday last at the Child Baving Institute. The return is made by Dr. W. H. Christie on one of the postal cards provided by the department for that purpose, and in the space marked for com- ment as to the cause of death appear the words: “Starved. Attempted strangula- tion.” The date of the child’s birth is given as August 14 and the date of death as Sep tember 13, and the name of the mother is noted on the card as F. Zimmerer. In explanation of his report to the Board of Health, Dr. Christle sald: “The child died of starvation because it could not as similate its food, probably because it had not been properly nourished during the first few days after fts birth. I was told at the institute that the mother starved the child and then attempted to strangle it." Dr. Christie did not see the child until the day of its death Some About It. The identity of the child's mother Is un- known to the matron of the institute, Mrs Edwards, who is In charge during the ab- sence of Superintendent Clark from the city She refused to say who brought the child to the institute “I am In honor bound not to tell the name of the party who brought the child here,” sald Mrs. Edwards, “at least for the present, for it was purely a charitable act. I have investigated some myself and no good could come of making the name of the party or the name of the mother public 1 am sure no one could be brought to jus- tice. I understand the mother of the child was an unmarried woman who does not live in Omaba and who is not here now. We have no positive evidence that she at- tempted to strangle the c'i(ld or to starve it. Had T thought it would have done any go0d 1 would have reported to the authorl- ties when the child was brought here.” The child was received into the institute under ecircumstances out of the ordinary. It was brought there during the absence of Mrs. Edwards, at 10:30 o'clock at night, and recelved by an attendant. Talk of Mrs. Bdwards sald of the child's recep- tion Into the Institute: “A party brought 1t here late at night and was told by the attendant that no ome was here to receive it and it would have to be brought back the mext day. Then the party said the mother of the child had attempted to mur- der it and if it was given back to her, she would murder it. The mother was sick in bed, so it was sald to the attendant at the institute, with the little ome by her side. Presently the mother got out of bed and crossed the room and then came back to the little one. At this time the baby's face was very black. The party who brought the baby to the fnstitute then took it from the mother and accussed her of try- fng to kill it. This the mother denied. Under those conditions it was recelved that night, and when I made an examination of It. I found that its little throat was brulsed as thougi an attempt had been made to choke it. The skin wi not broken, but the skin and flesh was di| tinctly brulsed. “Now whether the condition resulting from the attempted strangulation caused the starvation of the child I am not prepared to say, but the doctors sald death was due to starvation. It was a beautiful baby and we hoped to be able to bring it through.” Coroner Brailey will make a thorough In- vestigation of the case today. ‘“According to the death certificate,” said Mr. Brailey, “it looks like a case of murder. The case should have been reported to the authorities at once by the management of the insti- tute.” Dr. Christie said he did not belleve that the attempted strangulation of the child had anything to do with its death and he men- tioned it on the burial certificate because he learned at the institute that the mother of the child had tried to strangle it. A case which tention of the partment was dis Secrecy Attempted Murder. Anether Fortune for Charity. A $1,000,000 fortune was recently left to one of the charitable institutions in the east, and while the iden is very praise- worthy and will no doubt accomplish much 800d, there are many other agencles which accomplish just as much good.

Five Hundred Cars of Live Stock Arrive at South Omaha in a Day. The largest South Omaha number of cattle arrived at yesterday in the history of the market. There were 500 cars or 12 791 head. On August 25 of this year 428 cars or 11,071 head arrived, which up to yesterday was the high mark. Practically all the cattle were western rangers and a good proportion of them were good emough for beef. Two different packers each bought over 1,000 head, which s some- thing rather unusual. The capacity of tho stock yards was not overtaxed, but on the contrary there was no more confusion than on days when receipts are not half as large. The officials of the Stock Yards company had antfcipated heavy recelpts this fall and made preparations for han- dling all the cattle that are likely to ar rive Trading was active from start to finish and the market held up remarkably well in the fact of big supplies at all points. The better class of cattle sold at practi- cally steady prices with last week, the Inferior grades naturally sold a trifie lower. The break, though, was not at all serlous and operators expressed consider- able surprise at the seemingly inexhaust- ible demand from both killers and feed buyers. By 3 o'clock in the afternoon over 9,000 cattle were sold and weighed | up, and it looked then ag though the pens would be practically empty before night. COLD DEAL FOR VETERANS Dr. Burdick Reports Unus of Slckness at Army Camp. 1 Amount Grand Dr. F. O. Burdick, medical director of the department of Nebraska, Grand Army of the Republic, having just returned from his duties at Camp Sherman, reports a very large attendance at the reunion and | an unusual amount of sickness. Monday and Thursday nights, says the doctor, were very cold for camping. Thursday night, especially, there was a good deal of suf- tering with cold, more particularly among the elderly people, who are accustomed to warm houses and more comfortable beds. The prevailing complaints are colds, sore throats and bowel troubles. There were several very sick peoplo on the ground who required careful attention. There were several accidents, the most serious of which was the falling of a 6-year-old child in a kettle of bofling water. Souvenir spoons 60c up. Edholm.

DUNN MADE CHIEF OF DETECTIVES Board Adopts Resolution Providing for Temporary Increase of Pofice Force by Addition of Thirty br More Men, Although the matinee session of the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners yesterday was not of long duration, several important changes in the police depart- ment were effected, and in results it may be said that more business was transacted than at many of the evening meetings. Provision was made for increasing the de- partment by the appointment of thirty ad- the office of chiet of detec- tives was created and Henry W.

Instructing the Chief. In addition to the action mentioned above the board devoted some little attention to Instructions to the chief and other members of the police department, one resolution adopted being as follows Resolved, That where there is continuous breach of law or ordinance on the beat of any patrolman, failure to observe and re- port the same will be considered Incompe- tence or wiliful negligence on the part of | such patrolman, In another resolution the board directed the attention of the chief and men to the rule of the board prohibiting the “officers and men of the department, while in uni- form or while on duty, from drinking in- toxicating liquor in saloons or other places of public resort.” Appended to this 1s an announcement that the rule will hereafter be rigidly enforced and violations will be attended by the dismissal of the offenders One resolution which was adopted quotes several paragraphs from the election law bearing upon the manner in which the poll- ing places shall bg protected, and particu- | larly prohibiting electioneering within 100 teet of any polling place. The chiet and other members of the department are in- structed to strictly enforce the provisions of this law. | By motion it was determined that Harry Trimble and Frank Brundage shall be placed | at the head of the list for appointment on | the fire department.
