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.

Vatican's Invasion of China May Meet French Oposition Paris, July 13.

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.
