) Nebraska VICE IN THE HOME CAUSES DEPENDENTS | Miss Ella Caton Tells Superintend- ents of State Institutions Views of Subject. SHOULD LEGITIMATIZE CHILD (From a Staff Correspondent.) Lincoln, Neb., May 26.—~(Special.) —Drunkenness, immorality and deser- tion are the prime causes for an in- creasing number of dependent chil- dren, Miss Ella Caton, superinendent of the State Home for Dependent | Children, told superintendents of Ne- braska state institutions at the second day’s program of the annual confer- ence. “Out of the 100 children surrend- ered to the state for care, 9 per cent were committed directly because of drunkenness and immiorality in the home. About ninety-eight out of ev- ery 100 babies under 1 year of age, surrendered for adoption, are of ille- gitimate birth. Death and poverty produce their share, but it is small compared with the other, Papa Beat Mother, “One little lad of 6 years sent from Omaha,” said Miss Caton, mentioning specific instances, “whosem ind dwelt constantly on thé horror of the home, | kept repeating, ‘Papa would go up | town and then come home and beat mother and we didn’t have anything to eat and we were cold,’ except that I have expurgated from his state- ments the oaths which accompanied them—oaths from lips of a baby too young to know their meaning, but which he had imbibed from his daily environmen But this baby would plead constantly to be allowed to re- turn home.” Crime of Illegitimacy. “The social evil is a close second in producing dependent children,” Miss Caton said. "The greatest crime of illegitimacy is the crime against [ Morehead is out of the city. Nebraska Omaha Men Ask for Parole of Strikers Held for Assault (From a Staff Correspondent.) Lincoln, Neb, -May 26.—(Special Telegram.)—Two Omaha union men called at the governor's office this morning to secure a parole for Ed- ward Washington and Ben Hampton of Omaha, two strikers, who were fined $25 and costs for assaulting a workman. In lieu of paying the fine the men were sent to jail. Governor The union men told the governor's sec- retary that Washington and Hamp- ton had merely taken a piece of gas pipe away from the workman when he threatened them. Men Getting Hungry. Lincoln strikers are getting hungry |and steps will be taken to provide | them with food, labor leaders de clared today. ers have been feeding the strikers singe Monday, but believe it is time for the city totake a hand now. The structural iron workers and the steel hoisters left the work on the Terminal building here today on a sympathy strike and the Selden Breck company was compelled to lay off the few remaining men it had Few Contractors 8ign Up. Some of the small contractors signed up under the union demands | today, but in a number of instances men left small jobs and it is now es- timated there are fully 600 men strik- ing. The question of a general strike will be decided at a _meeting of the general trades council, the executive committee having declined to take final action today. Five of the seven members were reported to be opposed to a sympathetic strike. Braden Divorce Suit and Poison Charge Dismissed the child. According to the present | custom the child born out of wedlock | is as soonas possible forever lost to | all of those who are bound to him by | nature’s ties, And when that child | reaches maturity there comes a long ing to know something of the father | and mother responsible for his being. | Sometimes this quest becomes a | mania. The crime of illegitimacy against the child should be righted | by legalizing the birth of the child. | The crime against cociety should be | righted by compelling the father to support his offspring.” Politics Rumored. Commandant J. F. Walsh of the Grand Island Soldiers’ Home said that institution was particularly signi- ficant because it represented a state’s ratitude to those whofought for her, Je praised the present methods of the Board of Control and said politics had been entirely removed from the conduct of state institutions in Nebraska, DOCTORS CHARGED WITH RUNNING COUNTY “TRUST” (From a Staff Correspondent.) Lincoln, May 26.—(Special.)—That Dr. C. T. Burchard of Falls City, one of the secretaries of the State Board of Health, was the leader in blacklist- ing certain doctors from membership in the Richardson county Board of Health, was charged by four doctors from Falls City and one from Stella, at the convention of the Nebraska State Medical society cently held in Omaha, it developed here today. After the complaint had been filed Dr. Burchard is reported to have in- terviewed members of the board to keep the matter quiet, and to have agreed to “let the bars down” in the county association. It is understood that the complaints did not come up for .discussion. North Platte, Neb., May 26.—(Spe- cial.)—The sensational Braden di- vorce case tried by Judge Westover of Rushville in the Arthur county | district court, has been dismissed. | Alfred C. Braden, wealthy Arthur| county farmer, charged that his wife, | Mary Braden, had attempted to poi- son him and asked a decree of di- vorce. Mrs, Braden declared that the entire proceeding was a conspiracy between Braden and his children to ruin her and get her out of the way in order that she might not share in her husband’s property. On a cross | petition she asked that the decree be | granted her, | Judge Westover found that the tes- timony of neither party to the suit was sufficiently substantiated to war- rant a decree and dismissed the suit. A criminal complaint against Mrs. Braden, charging her with attempting to poison her husband, had been dis- missed by the county attorney just before the divorce case was called for trial, SEWAGE PROBLEM UP TO STATE HEALTH INSPECTOR | (From a Staff Correspondent.)

Mr. Case thinks the solution of the difficultity may be to shorten the sewer channel so as to make it empty into the Elkhorn river and enclose it all of the way from Fremont. Nebraska Stromsburg Wants the County Seat; May Offer Bonus| Stromsburg, Neb., May 26.—(Spe Some of the labor lead- | cial.)—The circulation of a petition | from Osceola to raise a levy for the purpose of building a court house at Osceola has raised the question that this is the proper time to consider the removal of the county seat to Stromsburg, as this is the metropolis of the county and it has been located in Osceola for the last forty years. | With this in mind, a meeting was held last evening, which was largely at- tended by farmers and business men, and the sentiment of the meeting was that $50,000 or more could be raised | by subscription.for the purpose of building a new court house in Stroms- burg, and the removal of the county seat from Osceola to.this city. The talk of raising a bonus at Stroms- burg has practically put a stop to the signing of the petition from Os- ceola. | Aurora Will Have | Community Week Neb, May 25-—(Special.)
