A swimming- board at' the deeper end of the plunge was . the means of much fun for swim diners and spectators.

The X natatorium is well lighted and a nar row balcony affords an easy view "of the entire pool.

Butler to Sell Auto Trucks and to Buy Some Horses , City' Commissioner Butler se cured adoption of a resolution by the city council, allowing him to sell four of the big trucks used in the department of street cleaning and maintenance. "I find these big trucks are waste ful" he said. , "The four of thtm use up 96 gallons of gasoline a day and repairs and upkeep are very heavy. I am going to buy wagons and horses to take their' place. They are by far the most economical in street cleaning operations. Trucks are all right for long hauls or heavy work, but not for small, shovel op erations. Wife of Col. B. W. Jewel Dies in Jacksonville. Fia. Mrs. B. W. Jewell, wife of Col. B. W.

Funer al arangements have not been made, but it is probable that the body wilt be taken to Manchester, la., for interment. Advocates of the city detention hpspital say one' thing. Mayor Smith and those opposed, 'another. - Addresied to the "Good People of Omaha," this is what Daisy Den ton, an inmate, in a. letter to Sheriff Clark, says about it: . "This is only a few faqts told by an unfortunate g$r1 who has experi enced the tortures of young students experimenting in what is known as the city detention hospital, located in 2211 St. Mary's avenue, but in truth it should be termed 'A Human Dog Pound' "I made my first trip-there during the month of July or the first of Au gust and after 'staying three days I ran away with two other girls. Af ter scouting some three or four weeks I made up my mind I would not run again if I saw an officer looking for me unless if -was one that treated "fallen girls" as hard ened criminals, so luck directed two gentlemen detectives viz: Jensen and Knutson. so I let them walk on to the house I was in and when they knocked I opened the door and I was taken to the station and laid there from 4 p. m. till court time the next morning. Demands Court Trial. "When I went into the court room the matron said she was going to take me back to the detention home and I flatly refused, saying I had rather stay in jail the rest of my days than take such treatment as I sub mitted to while 1 was there only three or four short days. So I was taken with two other girls, who re fused to be taken back, to the coun ty jail without a trial and found out when I was turned over to Mrs. Johns (the matron) that I was sen tenced to 60 davs for vagrancy and prostitution. Then the second day of Ak-Sar-Ben I was again sent to that detestable place, being removed to the police station out of bed, where I had been sick, having hemorrhage of the lungs for several days, but was compelled to dress and get in the police patrol. That time I made up my mind I would stay a reasonable length of time, long enough any way to get y blood cleared up if they were capable of doing it. Students to Mix Medicine "I' took six shots of Sal-va-San and nine shots of mercury and was salavated from the mercury and air my teeth broke off in smadl pieces and the first two week's I suffered day and night with them. The last shot of Sal-va-San I took came very near costing about 18 other girls and myself our lives. . One of the students mixed up the medicine and in some way got the wrong kind and Dr. Tomlison was called to come back out there about two hours after we were locked up. (I judge it was about 10:30) and lie brought a student with him and it required the nurse, matron and the two doctors to hold one "victim" on the bed. They sat up with her until 3 a. m. before she gpt quieted down. Then they went to another girl's bedside and knelt down and prayed) or rather Miss Burger, the nurse prayed), as the poor girl was very low. Her name was Gussie Burns, (white), the first was Mar getta White, (colored). Prohibit Private Doctors. "The nurse came up to my room once during the night and told my room-mate and myself not to be scared and asked did we want her to bring a hypodermic up and I said, 'No thanks, if I must die let me be wide-awake.' We first had a hard chill, then started burning up with fever. I pray to God above I'll never suffer again as I did that night. Of course, nothing like that ever was known to the public, as no permits have been issued for some time and it is strictly forbid den for any private doctor to be ad mitted for fear the truth will be known as to conditions inside.. "Why don't the good people of Omaha wake up and investigate? I know there are lots of big hearted people in this big city. But they are blind to the fact of what is go ing on right under their very noses. There are 75 per cent of the people or population of the United Mates with syphilis in their blood -I for one have scrofula, having inherited it from my forefathers. Placed on Display "After remaining to take all my shots for my blood at the detention home I was still held and was not allowed to come down town and see about my clothes, therefore now it being cold, I have had an awful hard time trying to get sufficient clothes to keep me warm. "That place should come under the head of a work house or human ciog pond." There is nothing about it that would be evident to prove it to be any type of a hospital. 1 plead with the people of the pub lic to stop this unlawful business. "It is very miserable living in fear of the law constantly, but I had rather go through anything in pref erence of being a subject on display before five or six men and a nurse, sometimes more. The doctors change every few days, then new ones come to learn and your 'so called treatments are started as the new doctor starts. It is a hard proposition to explain."
