THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: JUNE 25, 1916. REFUSED T0 ADMIT PATIENTS, IS CHARGE And Superintendent Rogers of the County Hospital Says, “You Bet Your Life.” DIDN'T WANT THE “FLOATERS" That Superintendent Fred Rogers of the County hospital refused to ad- mit certain patients that were sent to him for treatment at the hospital is the charge made by County Commis- sioner Henry McDonald in explana- tion of his asking that the superin- tendent resign his position. This charge was made by Commis- sioner McDonald in a letter written to Superintendent Rogers after Rog- ers asked for explanation of the re- quest for the resignation, which came a week ago. “T have never intimated at any time that there was graft in connection with your management at the County hospital,” said Mr. McDonald in his letter. “You have not worked any harder than T have to make the hospital a success. Reason for Asking Resignation. “You have at times refused, how- ever, to admit patients sent by the commissioners and members of the staff of physicians. This is not your privilege, as the county physicians and medical staff are in authority as to who shall be admitted. For that reason your resignation is asked for.” Superintendent Rogers says he nev- er refused admittance to a patient sent him, except in cases in which the patient was not a resident of Douglas county. “I have refused ad- mittance to some such floaters who drifted in here when they were sent out by the county physician, but never when they were sent by the county commissioners,” said Rogers. “The county physician has sent me patients—floaters—that would be a drug on our hands for two or three years, maybe, if we took them in. I have refused some such fellows ad- mittance, you bet your life. Tells of Other Cities. “In the other big cities the county hospital does not accept such fellows from the outside. They send them back where they came from. Denver would not accept floaters from Oma- ha. But here there is a tendency to accept everything, because if they stick around long enough they’ll be voters after a while.” Superintendent Rogers said he has not been asked to attend the session of the county commissioners Monday, when it has been announced that the superintendent’s case would come up for consideration, “No, I have not been asked to attend the meeting of the commissioners,” said Mr. Rogers, “nor have 'I been officially notified that my case is to be taken up.” Dr. Lee Van Camp, county physi- cian, also makes the charge that Su- perintendent Rogers has turned away some of the patients he has sent him. Superintendent Rogers makes no effort to’ deny this, but holds that he was simply protecting the taxpayers of Douglas county from fl(\)z burden of caring for sick that shodld have been cared for by other counties and other states, since they were not resi- dents here. NEWSBOY RUN DOWN BY WOMAN MOTORIST Enrico Mellicor, an Italian newsboy with a stand at Leavenworth and Twenty-fourth streets, was struck by a speeding automobile driven by a woman about 4 o’clock yesterday aft- ernoon when he ran across the street to sell a paper. : 3 The woman did not stop to investi- gate the damage done, and no one got the number of the machine. Dr. Meyers, from the police station, ex- amined the boy, who was severely bruised about the legs and back, and took him to his home at Sixth and Pierce streets. FAMILY’S RETURN GIVES BURGLAR GOOD SCARE When Mr. and Mrs. Ed B. Wil- liams, 1024 South Thirty-seventh street, returned home from a drive last evening they heard sounds of a burglar in the house. As their home has been entered three times within the last four months they were alert and desirous of catching the offender and called a policeman. A hasty ex- amination showed that only a partly- worn suit of clothes was missing, al- though a number of valuable articles were lying about. where \they could have been taken with very little trou- ble. Mr. Williarfis thinks the noise of their return must have frightened the thief, who escaped while they were opening the door. EMERSON MAN DIES OF BLOOD POISONING Emerson, Neb., June 24.—(Special.) —Charles Regge, who had his hand mashed while working with a bridge gang a few weeks ago, died at Sioux City of blood poisoning He lived at Wayne and Newman Grove and was then engaged in the oil business, hav- ing worked with the railroad company only a few days when the accident happened.

The wind did very extensive damage, blowing down several buildings and windmills, and badly injuring crops. A small twister formed north of town, and in its course wrecked the buildings on the Charles Fiala farm, killing a val- uable horse; next in line was the farm owned by W. F. Richardson and oc- cupied by Paul Secora, which was| littered with the wreckage of the buildings. The next building en- countered was the W. R. Hankins place, where one of the largest barns in this part of the country wgs badly scrambled. On each farm all the outbuildings were wrecked, including barns, but the residences uninjured. Fred Hankins lost his barn, but it did not seem to be in the path of the storm. Some hail fell in places, and rain fell in torrents all over this ter- ritory. / Man Places His Head On Railroad Track | And Waii for Train| N Joseph Zack, Twenty-third and W streets, became so despondent Fri- day evening that he went to the rail- road tracks a block from his home, placed his head upon a rail and closed his eyes. After a while he fell asleep. W. B. Wainberg happened along and removed the would-be suicide. Three minutes later a train passed over the track. Zack was taken to the police station, where he spent the night in meditation. It was re-| ported that early in the evening Mr. | and Mrs. Zack had engaged in a| quarrel. | BOOSTERS OF MAYWOOD | FAIR HAVE BANQUET | Maywood, Neb., June 24.—(Spe-| cial.)—The Southwest Nebraska Dis- trict fair, consisting of the twelve counties in the southwestern part of the state, held its first occasional banquet Thursday evening at Perkin hall. Paul Jones acted as toastmaster. Interesting talks on the fair were made by Charles A. Liston, E. F. Dickens, president of the association; State Senator Willis Wilson of Cur- tis; Charles W. Meeker of Imperial, John H. Bloedorn, Hayes Center; James Sebastian, North Platte; Dr. S. R. Razee, Curtis, and Joseph Per- kin, Maywood. The banquet was a success in every sense and was given for the purpose of stimulating inter- est in the fair, The association was formed only about a year ago and the fair given last fall was a decided success. The fair this year is to be held September 11-15, and everything oints to a bigger and better show- ing than last year. ACCUSED- OF ATTEMPT TO ROB, SANDERS IS HURT | A man giving his name as Eugene | Sanders, no address, it is: alleged, attempted to rob Mrs. Allen, who runs a rooming house at 804 North Sixteenth street, just after dusk last evening. Mrs. Allen, who had ]2 in her pocketbook, screamed and at-| tracted the attention of a roomer, who rushed in and grappled with| Sanders. Sanders was carrying a| knife, according to Mrs. Allen, and, in the mixup he received a deep slash in his right hand requiring several stitches, and a gash over his right | eye. He was taken to the police sta- | tion and Dr. Myers patched him up | for a night in jail.

ACCEPTANCES ARE PILING UP Exhibitors for the first National Swine show, which is to be held in Omaha October 2-7 this year, are piling up fast. In answer to letters of invitation sent out to swine breeders the coun- try over by the bureau of publicity, scores of letters are coming from the breeders giving an idea of what they will exhibit, and of the general inter- est that is being taken. While the dates are conflicting with the state fair dates in several of the states, not- ably California, and a few of the | breeders are writing that ‘they cannot exhibit here on account of such con- flict, the majority of them neverthe- less are anxious to exhibit at the na- tional show. A letter from Peters, Samson & Walker, Holtville, Cal, commends the excellent judgment of the na- tional association in locating the show in Omaha. F. ). Moser of Goff, Kan., says: "I will certainly be there; thank you for the invitation.” Llyod-Mugg & Co. of Kokomo, Ind., say, “We expect to visit the show and want to exhibit if we possibly can.” Nels C. Jensen of Exira, Ia., writes for further information and prize lists. Thomas F. Kent of Walnut, la, | writes that he will be an exhibitor, John B. Evans of Dakota City, Neb., says, “I expect to exhibit if my stock rounds into shape in time." D. B. Smith of Mission Hill, S. D., says, “I will be at least a visitor, if not an exhibitor, but hope to be an exhibitor.” W. R. Crow & Son of Hutchinson Kan, write: “We fully intend to exhibit. We are personally acquaint- ed with E. Z, Russell, the swine super- intendent and associate editor of The Twentieth Century Farmer.” J. C. Hestand of Sherman, Tex., writes: “I want to come sure and exhibit if nothing prevents. Yours for a greater hog show.” T. W. Cavett of Phillips, Neb,, says, “I hope to be at the national swine show at Omaha.” E. A. Morris, Webster City, Ia, writes: “I am thinking of ancndinfi the swine show in Omaha and wil possibly exhibit a few {)i%s." ; George W. Bolds of Plaquemine, La., says, “I am thinking of shovgiu% you people this fall some hogs raised in Louisiana. I am just coming to show you we are alive down here.” IT WAS COLD OUT IN THE STATE LAST EVENING It was a bit chilly out in the state Friday night. Rroken Bow reported a minimum of 43 and Valentine a mini- mum of 46 degrees. Omaha's mini- mum was 58. It's warmer in the west today, hut cooler up the valleys and the weather bureau doesn’t see much change in temperature just now. (Patent Applied For.)

He simply used a loud tone needle. The result was that his voice reproduced by the Victrola was full, rich and vibrant and so natural that few indeed, if any, of the many thousands who heard the wonderful demonstration, could tell when it was that Prince Lei Lani sang in person and when his voice was being reproduced by the Victrola.
