WOMAN COES 10 HOSPITAL
Mrt.'W. E. Tompkins of Marcy Street Do
. mented from Months of KegleoU
HUSBAND SUBMITS HIS SIDE OF CASE
to
Has Declares II W Devoted
Wife Whose Mental Condition
la Thought to De Is.
ioind,
Mrs. W. E. Tompkins of 1516 Marcy street,
paralyzed and slightly demented and re
ported by neighbors to the VUce as having
been grossly neglected for several months,
ha been removed from her home to the
county hospital at the Instigation of City
Physician Ralph. It Is believed the woman's
mental condition will be Investigated.
Neighbors declare the woman has been
much, neglected and many have expressed
willingness to go on the witness stand
nd testify to the same. Mr. Vomklns de
clares he has done the best he oould for his
unfortunate wife and relates a pathetic tale
f domestic trouble extending over a period
f sixteen years.
Thursday afternoon neighbors notified the
police station of the woman's condition,
her arrange her clothes and wash her face.
The womt.i, they say, has been almost help
less for some time and on some days could
barely articulate to be understood.
Hosband'a Side of the Case.
On the other hand, the husband main
tains he has been much more sinned
against than sinning In the matter.
"My wife became so bad some time ago
that the police told me to keep her oft the
street. At that time I moved from Seven
teenth and Leavenworth streets to our
present place, so as to be away from the
public street. I saw Dr. Tllden on the mat
ter of my wife's sanity and the doctor told
me to go home, that I was Insane myself.
For some time I have placed a board over
the outside door, but this would not have
prevented my wife from getting out If she
wished. I have worked every day and
gone home as often as I could to look after
her. I would shed the last drop of blood
for her. She was once dear to me.
"During my sixteen years' residence In
Omaha I have had a run of hard luck.
Both my children have been taken away
from me by some legal process I cannot
understand. John, my 18-year-old boy. Is
now In Colorado, while my 18-year-old
daughter a with a family in Lincoln. I
have spent nearly $6,000 trying to keep my
children with me. My home, which I once
owned, had to be given up and for some
timo I have been on the "pig train." My
wife's sickness dates back sixteen years
ago, when the boy was born. The authori
ties had no right to take my wife away

who Is employed at a tin shop on Howard
Street.
Mrs. John Reavls, who occupies the lower
part of the Tompkins home, says she has
carried food and water to the helples
woman on a number of recent occasions,
and while the Reavls woman was slow to
volunteer any Information on the subject
she would not deny that the woman's con
dition has been deplorable. Mrs. Sarah
Bellows, Mlsa Hattle Lansford and Mrs.
Emily Brown, living next door to the Tomp
kins home, were much outspoken and em
phatic in their denunciation of the husband
of Mrs. Tompkins. They say they have
heard Mrs. Tompkins hammering on the In
side of her door from half to an hour at a
time trying to get out for a drink of water.
They have alo carried her food and helped
ours."
Last winter Mrs. Tompkins was brought
to the police station on a charge of being
demented, but she was taken home In
carriage by her husband at that time. The
Tompkins have lived at their present ad
dress about (our years.

"I would suggest that the court muzzle
the counsel," said Attorney Ralph W
Breckenrldge to Judge Kennedy Friday
afternoon, as hs gazed with disapproval at
Counselor I. R. Andrews. The latter was
smilingly Ignoring objections offered to his
questions by his brother counsel and could
hardly hear the court, apparently, when
admonished to wait a minute for a ruling
on the objections.
Judge Andrews heard Mr. Breckenrldge,
however, when he used the word muzzle,
ana retorted: "Counsel does not need a
muzzle and is doing very well, thank
you."
"Counsel on both sides will please forego
their side remarks," said Judge Kennedy
as sternly as It is possible for him to
speak when airy badinage is surcharging
the court room with the joy that lightens
the heavy legal atmosphere.

Officers and Board of Isltors Bet
Forth Its Purpose, bat Fall to
Convince the Men In Opposition.
The South Sldo Improvement club was
host last night to a large number of cltl
sens who had assembled to protest against
the establishment of the Juvenile Detention
.Home at Tenth and Dorcas streets, as con
templated by the Board of County Com
missioners on the recommendation of the
vUlting board of the Juvenile court. Sheriff
John Power presided. Mogy Bernstein,
juvenile court ofllcer; Mrs. Towle, assistant
probation officer, and Mrs. Draper Smith,
Miss McCarty, Rome Miller and H. W. Pen
nock, members of the visiting board of the
Juvenile court, were present.
Addresses were delivered by members of
the board upon the purpose of the Detention
Home and the reasons why the Tenth
street property was selected. Mrs. Smith
said no location was too good for such a
school, especially In view of Its purposes.
The environment of such a school should be
of the best, and she gave a brief account
of her recent viBit to the detention schools
in other cities, which are invariably In the
best locations of the cities. The school Is
In no sense a prison or reformatory, and
should not be classed as such. She wished
that It were possible to secure a location
for the school on Park avenue, near her
own home.
Miss McCarty spoke in a similar strain.
and in response to the suggestion that the
parents and relatives of such children as
might be detained in the school would be
undesirable visitors to the neighborhood
she said that from the fact that very few
of the parents of children of the public
schools take the pains to visit the publio
schools, It is not probable that the parents
of children In the detention school would
inflict many visits on that school.
Will Not Be Mob.
Rome Miller spoke at length upon the
general purpose of the detention school and
resented the assertion that the children
detained in the Juvenile detention school
for short periods would constitute "a howl
ing mob." He did not believe that children,
as a rule, made many mistakes before they
are 14 years of age, the maximum age of
the children . who will be detained at the
school. He was not battling for the loca
tion of the school on South Tenth street,
but wanted to see the school established
regardless of its location, and that as soon
sa possible.
Mr. Pennock said he lived near the Good
Shepherd Home and he could see no objec
tion to the establishment of such an Insti
tution In any neighborhood.
Mogy Bernstein said it was not the Inten
tion to send Incorrlgiblles to the school. Of
the 300 cases already looked after by him
only eighty were called to the attention of
the Juvenile court, the other IM being taken
care of without the aid of the court and a
number of these had been found homes In
good families where they would be brought
up under moral surroundings.
Mrs. Towle spoke In a similar strain and
related several pathetic incidents of des
titute orphan children who had ben taken
from distressing environment and placed In
good homes.
Truant Officer Parker related some of his
experiences with children who would nat
urally come under the influence f the de
tention school, and commended the excel
lence of the proposed work.
Opposition to the Locution,
Mr. Power favored a detention school for
Juveniles, but did not think that the resi
dents of the First Ward cared to have the
school located In their midst. He did not
think that there could be any means
adopted to prevent the undesirable relatives
of these children from visiting 'the school.
They would do It, as he had learned from
his experience as sheriff for the past six
years. He believed that the best location
for the school would be on the county
poor farm, where they could be as well
cared for if a suitable building could be
provided or erected for that purpose.
County Commissioner Brunlng told of the
difficulty the board had In securing a lo
cation for the school. He favored the
county poor farm ground, but the Tenth
street location had been decided upon pur
suant to the recommendation of the visit
ing board.
Several others spoke in opposition and a
motion Anally prevailed that the South
Sldo Improvement club go on record as op
posed to the location of the Juvenile De
tention school on Souih Tenth street,
which was supplemented with the appoint
ment of a committee of five, Dr. Ford,
Sherlock, Connolly, Power and Scott to
meet with the visiting committee of the
Juvenile court and the county commission
ers this morning and enter a formal pro
test against the establishment of the school
on Tenth street.
Improvement Club Business.
The South Sido Improvement club held
Its regular meeting last night aud adopted
a resolution condemning the street rail
way for Its refusal to extend the street
car Hue to River view park; commending
the proposition of the Orand View Improve
ment club for the extension of the Harney
street line on Sixth street to Center street,
and asking the city council to compel the
removal of unused street car tracks from
the streets.
A committee consisting of Dr. Ford, Bam
Scott and John Power was appointed to
meet with a like committee from the Grand
View club to have a conference with the
street car officials relative to the street
car extensions desired In the south part of
the city.
The club then adjourned to Friday even
ing, June 16.

Live Stock Exchange Members Prepare to
Test Tax Cases.
ATTORNEYS TAKE PRELIMINARY STEPS
Service of Distress Warrants Merely
Intended to Establish Rlahta In
the Case Without any
Animosity.
The distress warrants served by Personal
Tax Collector Rldgeway on a number of
the members of the South Omaha Live
Stock exchange has brought about the de
sired result. Friday afternoon those Inter
ested held a meeting and employed an at
torney to take the matter In charge. E. L.
Howe, the city treasurer, said on the topic:
"What we want to find out Is if It Is legal
for us to assess memberships In the ex
change. There Is where the whole thing
rests. I have been led to believe that a
membership in the exchange can be as
sessed and the assessment has been made
for the years 1903 and 1004. There seems
to be some dispute about my right to make
such an assessment and I therefore sug
gested that distress warrants be issued and
a friendly suit be started to have the courts
decide Just where the city stands in this
matter." Some of the members of the ex
change who have been assessed on member
ship certificates complain of over-valuation,
but assert that they are willing to pay the
city the taxes on what the membership cost
them.
The attorney employed by the commission
men looked over the tax records yesterday,
after holding a contultatlon with the city
attorney and then talked for some time
with representatives of the city treasurer.
"There Is no animosity In the matter at
all," declared City Treasurer Howe. 'The
taxes stand on my books and I want to
have the courts hand down a decision. The
best of feeling prevails between the treas
urer's office and those on whom the distress
warrants were served. All we want Is a
test case."
It Is e'xpected that by Monday the per
sonal property supposed to have been levied
on by the issuing of distress warrants will
be replevlned and then the cases will have
a standing In the courts.
stealing; Dos; Taars.
Reports are made almost dally to the city
clerk about dog tags being stolen. When
such a report Is made the number of the
stolen tag and the purchaser is reported to
Poundmaster McGill. A memoranda la kept
and if dogs that had worn tags are Im
pounded there will be no charge for the re
lease. This Is, of course, providing that a
report has been filed with the city clerk.
Mr. McGill, the poundmaater, says that
there seems to be a mania at this time for
stealing dog tags. He declares that dogs
he sees almost every day with tags on
turn up within an hour or two without
tags. McGill had an experience yesterday
over in Good Luck addition. He sent a
wagon over there and rounded up nine dogs
without tags. Some of the women, in the
nelgnborhood took after the wagon,' threw
bricks and missiles of various kinds, and it
was only by the hardest kind of driving
that the dogs were landed In the pound.
Four di g catcher wagons are now at work
and no part of the city is escaping from the
vigilance of the dog catchers.

Sheep Shipments Falllnir Off.
There was only one car of sheep on the
South Omaha market Friday and this car
was consigned direct to a packer. Conse
quently there was no market. Sheep sales

seeming scarcity of good stock. Some
salesmen remarked Friday afternoon thut
they would not be surprised if good shorn
lambs would sell as high as $6.50 next week
If any are sent to this market. So far
this year 656,346 sheep have been received
at this market. This Is an increase over
the same date last year of 30,201.
