THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: JULY 14, 1918.
7-A
GRANDFATHER
FEARS HE MIGHT
KILL YOUNG GIRL
Asks for Granddaughter's Re
moval to Orphan Asylum;
Is Scored by
Judge.
"You had better take her away, for
I'm a big man, and if I double up
my fist and hit her, I might kill her."
This is the reason William Krasne
assigned for wanting his little grand
daughter, Ella, taken away and put
in an orphan .asylum, according to
the statement of President Rosenthal
of the Jewish Relief society in
juvenile court Saturday morning.
Krasne is a big, husky man. Ella
is a delicate looking child of 10 years.
Some months ago Ella's mother died,
without means and deserted by her
husband, leaving three little children
in Krasne's care. The two boys were
placed in an orphan asylum, but the
Jewish society prevailed upon Krasne
to keep Ella, as he is financially able
to provide for her.
Krasne tried to get the girl placed
in the orphan asylum, altso, asserts
Mr. Rosenthal. The Jewish commit
tee finally told him they would place
her in another asylum, where he
would have to pay for her support,
whereupon he ceased trying to dis
pose of her.
Trouble Starts.
All went well until Mrs. Krasne,
the grandmother, went away on a
visit. Then the trouble began. The
grandfather said Ella wouldn't work.
Ella says she would work, but that
she objected to cleaning up filth in
the yard. The grandfather finally
complained to the probation officers
that the child was unmanageable.
"Among other complaints," stated
Mr. Rosenthal, "he said that a pho
tographer in the neighborhood had
been taking nude photographs of Ella
and another girl. I saw the photo
graphs, and they were unobjection
able, snowing the children dressed in
costumes of various nations."
Ella wept all through the session
of court Saturday morning. The
grandfather insisted that he cared for
Ella, and the fact that she had food
and clothes was a proof of his affec
tion. "You are one of those men," Judge
Sears told the man, "who value pen
nies and nickels and dimes more than
their own flesh and blood."
Krasne offered no objection to this
nor to the further scoring the judge
gave him, but when the decision was
announced that Ella be placed at the
detention home until the return of
her grandmother and Krasne charged
$15 per month for her support, he
objected strenuously.
As the child ww leaving the court,
she asked her grandfather for a dime
to buy ice cream. "Ice cream!" he
exclaimed angrily. "You can eat
bread."
Sent to Detention Home.
Jack Garelick and George Koha
were also sent to the detention home.
These boys are alleged to have taken
an automobile that was parked -near
a repah shop, taken a joyride and
deserted the car. The police picked
up the car soon after the owner
arrived looking for it.
Two small boys who had found a
purse in Hanscom park, spent the
money and thrown away a key it con
tained, and then hid the purse under
a grapevine, were dismissed on a
promise to return the purse and key
to the owner. One of the boys had
refused steadily to confess until
forced to do so by a threat that the
purse would be dug up and recog
nized. Judge Sears delivered quite a
lecture on honesty and truthfulness
to the little cjiap, who listened wide
eyed and promised to be good in the
future.
Charges Husband Brutally
Slammed Her Around House
The only Christmas present that
Mrs. Alice Clear got last Yuletide
trom her husband she got the dav
before, she says in her petition
for divorce from Walter Clear.
That waas when he "brutally and
violently threw her on the bed,"
the petition tor divorce says. Three
months later he struck her in
the back and attempted to choke
her and a month ago knocked
her down and wrenched her arm, she
alleges. This constitutes just ground
for divorce, she says. He makes $100
a month working for the Chicago &
Ureat Western railroad and ought to
be able to pay alimony, she claims.
Mrs. Alice Strausser Charges
Husband Threatened to Shoot
Locking her in a room, threatening
ner with personal violence by flour
ishing a revolver in her face and
threatening to kill her, constitutes
incompatibility of temperament,
thinks Mrs. Alice M. Strausser. When
her husband, Caryl H. Strausser, did
all of this last Friday, according to
her allegations, she lost no time in
filine a suit for divorce and Sattirrfav
made an application. They were
married last February. She wants
her maiden name restored which
was Alice M. McCormick.
Valley Druggists Estopped
From Collecting Insurance
Because the Royal Insurance com
pany, Limited, has its headquarters
in London, England, over 4,000 miles
av.-ay, is no reason why it should lose
money, thiks County Attorney Mag
ney. So he has filed an information
against Charles Ackers and Frank L.
Luce, druggists at Valley, Neb., who,
the county attorney charges, attempt
ed to collect on their policy of $4,000
on their store which was destroyed
by fire under suspicious circumstances
June 20.

PLAN TOURNAMENT
WITH JACKSTONES
Exciting Contests Arranged
for City Parks; Annual
Election of Commission
ers Takes Placa Soon.
A jackstone tournament is proposed
for the girls of the city at the play
grounds of the parks some time dur
ing the month by Recreation Super
intendent Isaacson.
There is something fascinating in
the dexterity of play required in the
intricacies of this ancient game, and
as there are some mighty expert
players among the girls of the city,
it is expected there will be many
breathless moments during the con
test, v
All boys and girls in the city are
requested by the superintendent of
recreation to some time during the
month try for places in the athletic
badge tests prescribed by the physical
directors of America. This is one
of the tests required in physical edu
cation, i

Self-Governlng System.
Playground activities will be divided
Into different departments, with a
commissioner in charge of each de
partment. Candidates for commis
sionership must be between the ages
of 10 and 16 years to qualify. The
commissioner receiving the largest
vote will be elected mayor. Commis
sioners will appoint all officers which
work under them in their different
departments. The playground system
of the city is self-governing, and
those elected to responsible places
will do the administrative work under
the playground superintendents.
Children at the playgrounds are
working on war and other patriotic
programs, which are calculated to in
still a spirit of Americanism and
understanding of the customs and
ideals of the allies.
Madame Guerin Adds
$1,000 to Fund for War
Orphans of France
Coins of alt denominations were
showered on the truck used by Ma
dame Guerin, a French woman who is
touring the country in the interest
of French war orphans, and her as
sistants, at Sixteenth and Farnam
streets Saturday afternoon and night.
An impromptu vaudeville enter
tainment was given by a "jazz" band
and juvenile dancers and singers,
which attracted large crowds, who
listened to the appeals of Madame
Guerin.
It is estimated that more than $1,000
was raised for the fund.
The sale of buttons will continue
and the money will be turned over
to Madame Borglum, who will act
as treajurer for Omaha, and will be
eventually devoted to the care of
French children who have been be
reaved of heroic fathers in the strug
gle for world liberty.
The children will be adopted in the
name of the "Omaha public," this to
show in a substantial way the sym
pathy of our people for suffering
France.
Vatican's Invasion of China
May Meet French Oposition
Paris, July 13. The news of the
Vatican's decision to appoint a papal
nuncio for China is calculated to
make a deep impression upon the
French diplomatic and church circles,
in the view of the Rome correspond
ent of the Petit Journal. He recalls
that Pope Leo XIII in 1885 appoint
ed a nuncio for Peking. The French
minister at the Vatican threatened
that France would break off relations
with the Vatican if the plan were car
ried out. Pope Leo cancelled the ap
pointment, the correspondent adds.
The Rome correspondent of the
Havas agency says that the name
most frequently mentioned in con
nection with the Peking post is that
of Monsignor Joseph Petrelli, apos
tolic delegate to the Philippines.
