BLUFFS DOCTORS SECURE HOSPITAL Woman's Christian Aitociatisfl VoUi t Turn Otm OontreL MUCH OPPOSITION TO PROPOSED CHANGE Leader Was Lacking for the Aatl Fare aaa the Proposition Car rled by Derisive Majority Whea Vote Was rat. The Woman's Christian association at Its annjal meeting yesterday afternoon voted In fsvor of surrendering the complete con trol and management of its hospital to the physicians and henceforth the Institute will be known as the Council Bluffs General hospital Instead of the Women's Christian Association hospital. In order to bring about this Changs the association will reincorporate for fifty years and amended Its by-laws and articles of incorporation to conform, to the new order of things. Twenty physicians, selected from those practicing In the city and the immediate vicinity, will constitute the board of hospi tal directors and will be named by the as sociation. These directors will hava com plete management of the hospital, with the power of hiring and discharging all em ployes, purchasing all supplies and equip ment snd collection of all moneys due for services. They will also have authority to bind the association by contract In all mat ters pertaining to the hospital and training school for nurses and the treasurer of the association will be required to psy all drafts and orders of ths hospital directors for moneys necessary to be expended In ops ration of the Institution. The physicians selected to constitute ths board of hospital directors will be called upon to pay annual dues not exceeding $25, the amount to bo determined by the gen oral board of directors of the association. In amending the bylaws and articles of Incorporation It was decided to raise tho annual dues of members from II to 12 and the Initiation fee from 1 to .12. Heretofore at the annual election of officers a vice president has been selected to represent each church, but under the amended arti cles there will be but one vice president. Owing to the time consumed yesterday afternoon In discussing the proposed change In the management of the hospital the elec tion of officers, reading of the annual re ports of the several officers and selecting the physicians to constitute the board of hospital directors were postponed until an adjourned meeting to be held next Monday afternoon. Mneh Opposition to Plan, Many of tho members of tho association were strongly opposed to relinquishing the management of the hospital, but the oppo sition appeared to lack a leader, and the proposition to surrender In favor of the doctors carried by a vote' of 66 to 18, sev eral declining to vote either way. Mrs. George T. Phelps, opo of the pioneer leaders of the association and one of Its most active workers, suggested that rather turn the hospital over to the doctors the association convert It Into an old women's home or elsa sell the property to the doc tors. This suggestion met with . consider able favor among many of the members, as was Indicated by the discussion which fol lowed, .and It was stated after the meeting that If Mrs. Phelps had put her suggestion In tho form of a motion It would probably have carried, as there was a strong under current of opposition to allowing the doc tors to have thelf own way entirely. But, as before stated, the opposition seemed to lack a leader, and when the question was finally put before the meeting was out voted. No secret was made of the fact that sev eral members who were opposed to the change will leave the association, but. as Mrs. Lucas, tho president, remarked, "there will be others to take their places." A resolution directing the directors of the association to take steps to erect a new hospital and confer with the board of hos pital directors as to plans, etc., had been prepared, but Its submission was deferred until the adjourned meeting next Monday. Drs. Donald Macrae, Jr., M. A. Tinley and P. W. Dean, aa a committee from the physicians, appeared before the meeting and presented the proposition to turn over the hospital to their exclusive manage ment. TWO OP TUB S18PECT9 RELEASED Evidence Acremalates Agmlnst the Other Fair. ' , Fred Colgate and C. 11. Qrott, arrested Sunday on suspicion pf being implicated In the blowing ot the safe -of. the Treynor bank Friday night, were released yester day, they having succeeded In satisfying the authorities that they had nothing to do with the attempted robbery. .; Jt ' was found that - they had registered at the Metropolitan hotel In Omaha Friday night. The handwriting, that of Colgate who reg istered for himself and companion, on the register of tho Metropolitan hotel was the same as that on the register of the Revere house in this city, where the men slept Saturday night. J Albert Llmburg, hired man at Arthur Baar'a place, who found twe men Satur day evening hidden In the hay loft of the bam, and Adolph Schults, a farmer who saw the two men running from the barn after Llmburg had gone for assistance, looked at Colgate and droit yesterday and declared they were not the men seen In the barn. An Information, however, was filed yes terday against John Bernstein and James Arthur, tho' suspects arrested Saturduy, charging them with entering and breaking and exploding dynamite or nitroglycerine In a .building, the maximum prgialty for which Is twenty-frvo years' Imprisonment In the penitentiary. This Is the severest charge which could bo filed' against the prisoners. When asked If they wished to bo' ar raigned yesterday both Bernstein and Ar thur replied in the negative and said they were willing to stay where they were for tho present at least. Both Still continue to refuse to' talk. Additional evidence Implicating these two men has -been secured by the authorities. Otto Baar yesterday was shown Bern stein at the county jail, and he positively Identified him as the man who stopped at his place near Treynor Friday evenlnv and1 asked the way to that town. Bern stein has also been Identified by the pro prietor of a small restaurant la Treynor, who stated that ho ata at his place one day In the early part of last week. Bern stein Is also said to have been seen by several parties In Treynor about three weeks aio. . 1 - . When Sheriff Canning' went fo Treynor, nunday he took with him the shoes worn by Arthur, the elder of the two suspects. They were found, to exactly fit tho tracks In the snowdrift where the wagon and mule leant were abandoned early (Saturday moraine Front thatr talk, tha sheriff Is confident that Bernstein and Arthur are what are known as "yegg men." or second class cracksmen. Tho case Is now being In vestigated try the grand Jury, and this will probably save any preliminary hear ing for the two suspects, seeing that the are not anxious to have one. SHERIFF ISCERTAI ABOIT LISES Asks Conrt to Appoint Commission to Locate Them. As Judge Thornell has intimated that ho would dissolve the Injunction secured by the motor company restraining the en forcement of the execution Issued by Judge Bcott of the superior court in the Manawa fence case, Sheriff Canning yesterday riled In the superior court an application for the appointment of a commissioner to de termine the boundaries of the streets and territory In controversy". Until this is de termined Sheriff Canning states he will be unable to execute the Judgment. The motor company has removed the fence across Third street and back of tho B. Marks place and yesterday was tak ing down the bridge and' stairway over Park avenue at the main entrance to the resort. The plaintiffs in the suit, how ever, Insist that the fence on tho east side of the resort Is in Third street and demand that It be removed. Tho motor company on the other hand contends that tho Tence is well within Its territory, and It Is this point which Sheriff Cunning de sires determined before he acts. Just before the close of last year the motor company filed with the Board of County Supervisors a petition asking that the following streets, avenues and alleys In Manawa park be vacated In Its favor: All that part of the street In the plat of Manawa park known as Portland ave nue, lvlng west of Third street.

All that part of the street In Regatta Place known as Regatta avenue, lying west of the sireet In town plat of Man awa park known as Main street. All that street in the plat of Manawa park known as South Third street, south of Portland avenue. Also the alleys in blocks 27, 2R, 29, 30, 31. 33 and 34 of the town plat of the town of Lake Manawa, known as Manawa park.

All objections to the vacating of these thoroughfares and alleys and all claims for damages must bo filed with the county auditor on or before noon of February 23. It Is understood that owners of property In Manawa and others will file a strong protest ngalnst the supervisors vacating these public thoroughfares. MRS.
