10 THE BEEr OMAHA, WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 4, 1918. MAYOR TO CLOSE DETENTION HOME IF NOT IMPROVED Sith Says the Home Is for Criminals and Not for Unfortunate ... Children. The Good Samaritan Visiting Nurse Association Tag Day Today. The Board of Public Welfare held a meeting yesterday afternoon. which the new member, ' Judge Howard Kennedy, was present. Mayor Smith was also present. The time of the board was largely taken , up by a discussion of the city's deten tion home, brought forth by the re pprt of a case handled by the board The woman in the case, a soldier' wife, had been placed in the detention home when found afflicted with a so cial disease. She has a baby recently . born, afflicted with the same disease. The baby was placed in the county hospital and the mothre in the deten tion home. The mother told the we! fare board! she had run away from the detention home to find her baby, but was caught and thrown in the city jaw, wnere she slept all, night on the bare" floor, after whcibshe was taken back to the detention home. She is very anxious to have her baby. ; "There is a misconception on the part of the health dfficials." said Mayor Smith, "as to the purpose of ine detention home, and unless there is a change made in the way such cases as this are handled, the home will be discontinued. The home is for criminals, not unfortunates. There has been no charge lodged against this woman and she is not accused as a criminal, yet she is treated like one I have a number of affidavits now on my desk as to treatment received at the detention home by unfortuantes tnat make my blood boil. : This is on ly one of many cases." . Dr. Jennie Callfas defended the ac tions of those in ehartre of th 4fn. tion home, and branded as false the assertions or tnose who ten such tales as some the mayor Quoted. She as serted sbe had called unexpectedly a numDcr oi nmes at tne nome and al ways found things above reproach. The board decided it had no juris diction in the case of the . soldier's . wife. " !i t ...,,.' , The board adopted a new rule pro- Yiumg mat in me iuiurc sessions snail be held in secret and all matters that are to come before the board must be submitted in writing. It is estimated that much time will be saved by this procedure.

A statement cent to the state auditor from the American Order of United Workmen of Nebraska shows that that organization is coming out from under its financial load in good shape. At the time the Omaha and Fremont lodges asked for transfer to the Iowa jurisdiction and their application was denied by the state insurance board, the Nebraska jurisdiction was heavily incumbered. In denying the applica tion the board gave as the reason that it believed that if the jurisdiction remained intact that it would be able to pay out. , The report coming in today shows that July 1, 1917, it had death claims approved and , unapproved of $300,500 and that op to August this had been added to until the claims had reached the total sum of $635,500. However, these claims have been paid off as fast as the funds would permit until during the same period $558,000 of the amount had been paid, leaving but $95,500 of an unpaid balance. The cash balance in the treasury is shown to be $6,465.03 and beneficiary fund investments, $44,463.06 leaving a deficit Aug. 29. 1918, of $44,571.91. The average age of death since May 1, 1917, is given as 60 years.

It requires as much of the operator's time and an equal use of the telephone equipment as would be needed to complete an ordinary telephone call. In Omaha alone 21,000 requests for the time are made daily. The answering of such requests requires considerable use of equipment, as well as the time of operators. The supply of transportation, labor, raw material and equip ment is only sufficient to meet the present demands of the govern ment and of industries either directly or indirectly connected with , the prosecution of the war. It is therefore becoming more and more necessary to reduce non-essential services of every kind. The telephone service is necessarily affected by the general condition of the labor and material market, and the less essential uses of the telephone must be restricted. War conditions have greatly increased the demands for necessary service, which makes it imperative that telephone facili ties be conserved in every possible way.

She seemed to be affected all over with rheumatism and suffered fearful pain from it, especially between her shoulders.
