Vigorous discussion among the
members of the Church Federation
.of Omaha about the admittance of
all church denominations into the as
sociation were heard last night at
their first annual meeting held in the
Y. M. C A., auditorium. No men
tion was made about the adoption of
the proposed change in name of the
federation to the Omaha Association
- of Ministers and Churches.
Rev. Titus Lowe, pastor of the
First Methodist church, protested
vigorously against the originaj plan
of the church federation barring pas
tors and laymen of Jewish and Uni
tarian churches. He recommended
? the broad plan of church association
'in that any denomination should be
admitted into the newly reorganized
federation.
Unanimous agreement has been
reached that an additional commit
tee of seven lay members of the as
sociation be appointed to co-operate
with the organization committee in
working out nVw plans of reorgan
izing the federation on the idea sug
gested by Rev. Titus Lowe. '
Rev. Harry B. Foster, president of
the Church Federation and'pastor of
the Dundee Presbyterian church,
was chairman of the meeting.

RINGER READY
FOR CLEANUP' OF
DETENTION HOME
Commissioner Asks Council to
Take Hand in- Changing ;
Conditions at City De
tention Hospital.
Following repeated charges in The
Bee ,of mismanagement and of cul
tivating and encouraging the use of
narcotic drugs in the Women's De
tention home, Police Commissioner
Dean Ringer appeared before tlrt
city council yesterday x with a
proposition which, he believes, will
enlarge the scope of the institution,
delegate additional authority to Dr.
Palmer Findley, the medical direc
tor, and place the home on a more
business-like basis, doing away with
any possibilities of petty grafting.
Vtr. Ringer made no reference to
the severe criticism which recently
has been directed at himself, Chief
of Police- Eberstein and others re
sponsible for the state of affairs
which prevail at the Detention home.
He presented a new ordinance
which contemplates giving the
health commissioner and his as
sistants additional authority in the
suppression of social diseases.
The police commissioner made no
attempt to explain whether or not
the new ordinance contemplated the
continuance of administering dope
to the inmates four times a day, as
has been charged, extending over a
period for as long as 80 and 90 days.
Makes No Explanation.
Neither was there any attempt to
answer the charge that at least one
physician connected with the De
tention home had collected money
from girls who were willing to pay
for exemptipn from imprisonment in
the institution, x
VThe ordinance was referred to the
city council committee of the whole
for discussion next Monday morn
ing.. . s
A provision of the ordinance
states that any person convicted in
a court of competent jurisdiction
on a charge of keeping a house of
prostitution, or being an inmate, or
of soliciting, shall be subjected to
examination by the health depart
ment.
, If the convicted person is found
to be contaminated with social dis
ease, then the health commissioner
shall have authority to issue an
order of commitment to the , home
for treatment. '
Commissioner Ringer declared it
was his idea to have the ordinance
apply to men as well as women.
Would Enlarge Home.
The ordinance designates the City
Detention home as the official place
for examination, detention and treat
ment Another provision extends the
operation of the ordinance to per-
