TRAHIKiG SCHOOL WRAnGLE OUTLINED i. President Rupe of Hospital Board Explains Details of the Trouble.

KEEP OUT OF WOMEN'S TUGS

Jobn I Rupe, president of the hospital board of trustees, today in a statement prepared by him, gives tbe hospital authorities' version of tbe trouble in the Nurses' Training school which resulted in the departure of three young women. The statement follows: Tbe Hospital situation as to several of the nurses bus been a matter of consideration by the Board of Trustees for some time. There were four nurses who appeared to be acting together and who were not conforming to the rules nor manifesting such interest In the work as to make their services In the hospital satisfactory. "One of this number, Miss Sheehan, left a note on the desk of the superintendent Sunday morning last stating that she withdrew from the hospital. This action is believed to be because he had been reported for violation of rules while on night duty the night previous and tbe superintendent said to her that It was entirely satisfactory for her to go, this statement being made to her after the superintendent had received her note left on her desk announcing her withdrawal. Another of the nurses, Miss Cocbrel was in the hospital being taken care of for Illness or disability. "Dr. Markiey was called to see her and after talking with and examining her advised her that in view of the condition she represented herself to be in, which was a weakness of her back, perhaps it would be better for her to give up tbe work of training and go home. "She sent for the superintendent and told her of the doctor's advice and sold she thought it best for ber to give up the work and leave the hospital and the superintendent told her that would be all right and satisfactory.

"Another of these nurses, Mrs. Petrle, who was a chum of the other two named, the superintendent found packing her trunk to leave the hospital and thereupon the superintendent told her that her attitude toward the discipline of (he Institution and the hospital work hud been reported to the Board of Trustees and that It was thought best that she should -no with Miss Corhrel. "She replied that she intended to go any way, that her packing was partly done already and that she would not stay In such a hospital. "The Board of Trustees had been advised as to the attitude of these nurses toward the rules and discipline of the institution and the work of the hospital, and had authorized the superintendent to allow any of these, nurses to withdraw from the training 'school and to dismiss either or all of them In her discretion. "The Board of Trustees after considering the facts Involved decided that the interest of the training school and the work In the hospital was being Interfered with by the conditions brought about by these nurses and the action taken by the superintendent

was authorized as in our judgment necessary for the best Interest of the Institution. "As this has become a public matter It Is proper to say that the conduct of the nurses named was only in respect of the rules, discipline and work of the hospital and In no "way involved any reflection upon the character or reputation of the young ladies. "At the meeting Wednesday night Mr. Rupe was asked whether the superintendent had authority to dismiss a nurse. "He answered 'no,' which is true. He was further asked whether the nurses who had left the hospital had not been dismissed. "He answered that he did not understand that either had been dismissed. "At that time the Board knew that the superintendent was authorized as above stated, but. Mr. Rupe was not then advised as to the conversation between Mrs. Petrie and the superintendent as above set forth and his understanding was then that this nurse had withdrawn with Miss Cocbrel without anything indicating dismissal."

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. "I always keep out of women's things," said Sarah. "Why I thought you wanted to vote!" exclaimed the cynic. "I never said I wanted to vote," replied Sarah. "I didn't say you did," rejoined the cynic. "I said you . wanted to or thought you wanted to," he added hastily. "Well, I knew you never had heard me say so," triumphantly deployed Sal. "Because I never did. Personally I am not rampant about this voting business. I merely think I've got as much right to vote as a man If I want to." "A logical and reasonable position and one I applaud," murmured the cynic. "These women who don't want to vote don't have to if they don't want to. But they have no right to try to keep those that want to from doing so." "A kind of dog in the manger policy, so speak," said the cnlc. "Yes 'I'm not going to and I'm not going to let anybody else do it,' " said Sal. "There's a lot of chatter about women Infringing on the functions of men if they are granted the franchise," said Sal. "And a precious lot of rot it is, too. "The right to vote is a matter of citizenship and has nothing to do with sex or the division of the duties of living between the men and the women."

"Hear! hear!" applauded the cynic. "The function of women, in the scheme of Nature," said the Sarah, "is to bear the children the man's to support the women and children but are they doing It?" "Certainly not," said Sal answering herself. "After the woman has brought the children into the world, in five cases out of every six, she is supporting

'em and as often as not the man, too. "If men are so keen about performing their functions why don't everyone of 'em marry some woman and set about it. They say there are forty thousand unattached fair ones in Massachusetts alone." "Well, of course," murmured the cynic, "if you are bound on heroic measures I might er " "I wouldn't have you," cried Sal. "Why its all I can do to support myself. I can't take you on." "I've known two or three fools," Bhe continued, "who thought It would be sweet to be loved and have loaded themselves down with masculine incubuses. "There waB Mary Benton used to be principal of number six, you know, and was an influence. She was, as the reporters say "forging to the front"

and had been offered the superintend dency of the school down at Kodakville, great thing. "When, one day, she met old Tom Battersby she used to be sweethearts with at school. He had returned very much out at elbows from some remote spot and sized up Mary as a good thing. She fell into the trap and the

year after was applying again for a position. He spent all the money he had on the honeymoon and she found out, later, he had borrowed that. It took her two years to pay it back. "She's teaching again a primary

grade I think and he's doing the

housework." "Well, at least," said the cynic, "he shows a becoming appreciation of the situation and its not every woman that can have a man chef." "He enjoys it," cried Sal scornfully. "He's a miserable, good for nothing chump he married her for nothing more nor less than to get her to support him and carrying on a sanctified flirtation on the side with Tiddie Tompkins whose studying to go out as a missionary." "I never saw a girl going out to be a missionary who was worth a second glance," said the cynic. "That's generally the reason they go," said Sal. "Tiddie isn't my style but she's awfully pretty I don'r believe she has any idea of really going she's just doing Jt to scare a proposal out of Henry Properman. She thinks when she announced her sailing date he'll step in and prevent it." "Lucky for the heathen if he does," grinned the cynic. "I often wonder what they think of us," he added. "We're way off the tack," said Sal, "I started out to tell why I" side-stepped all women's things." "Oh yes let's have it," said the cynic surreptitiously looking at his watch. "I always like to hear women talk about each other." "Oh, as to that, the women are no worse than the men although I admit men aren't as mean about lambasting one another. Men always stick up for each other."

"We have many admirable traits, blandly deployed the cynic. "Well, anyway," said Sal, "I always keep out of women's things. I got mixed up in some of them in my more distinctly salad days but this I learned keep out of them or forever be mixed up in wire-pullings and petty Imbroglios, two by four envyings and

picayunlsh jealousies. And take it from me, the stupider you are tbe better they like you, the bigger fuss they make over you and the more frequently are you elected to office." "Lord preserve us!" gasped the cynic. "And they'll get up schemes to throw ybu into the offing that wouldn't deceive an infant. If your activities are at all obnoxious and they generally are if you start tn with disinterested enthusiasm they will dump you without the bat of an eyelash. Your best friends will Join in against you, if they think ita to their interest to knife you, and throw you over aa coolly as they'll cast an old piece of Junk into the alley.

"All of which goes to show your fit- J A M h .

ness i or me irancmse, grinned the cynic again.

"There you go." cried Sal. "What has that to do with the mere act of casting your ballot!! Nothing at all! Don't the men knife and slaughter each other without mercy. Don't best friends part at the meeting of the political ways? Look at Taft " and Roosevelt! Men never hesitate to cut each other's throats if there's an office, in sight." "I protest, Sarah 1 " ii . . . i i. A . ,, . .

I en, jruu iieeuu i pruiesi, saiu j Sal. "Because its so and you know it

is and so does everybody else. Its true in all organizations, men's or women's, political, social, civic, religious. Its human nature to strive for supremacy and to connive at it. "It's got no more to do with women voting than it has with men casting the ballot. People always have done it always will. That's the reason that Socialism in its perfect 'sense is an impossible ideal they leave out human nature." "Why I thought you were a Socialist," exclaimed the cynic. "I am I'd vote for Debs if I had a chance," said Sal. "In common parlance," said Cynic, "you've got my goat." "However," he continued, "I can't stand your goings-on. I heard Bryan this afternoon and I am not equal to another moral flight and so adieu." "I'm sure," cried Sal, "I'm sorry we ever started the conversation. Its been about nothing at all." "You began it," murmured the cynic as he gracefully Insinuated himself through the door.

Medical practitioners of Wayne county, not members of the Wayne County Medical society, have express-

ied themselves as being very dissatis-.

fled with tbe result of the meeting last Wednesday night between the board of trustees of the hospital, the investigating committee, council members and physicians. Non-members of the medical Bociety say that if two medical society physicians are chosen members of the hospital board physicians not members of the society would be discriminated against. They think they should have a representative on the board. The remedy the non-members propose, is that one of the two physicians to be placed on the board of trustees of the hospital should be of the medical society and the other should be chosen from among the fifteen or twenty practitioners who are not members of the society. The matter was not brought up at the meeting in the council chamber Wednesday night, there being no doctor present who was not a member of the Wayne County Medical Society. The doctors who entered the complaint state they will probably bring this matter to the attention of the city council at the meeting next Monday night, and that they would endeavor to have their plan for electing two doctors to the board adopted. They state they are entitled to the same consideration as the members of the Wayne County Medical society. They state

they use tbe hospital about as much as the members of the society and that they should have a voice in the management of the hospital if the representatives of the medical society do.

FIRST PRESBYTERIAN . CHURCH ELECTION The annual election of trustees, elders and deacons was held at the First Presbyterian church last evening. John M. Coate and Henry Mather were re-elected elders; D. I. Mather, L. M. Emmons, and Dr. Charles S.

Fulgum was elected deacon. Dr. Bpnd was chosen to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Christopher Shafer and Henry Mather was chosen to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Dr. H. N. Holmes. Reports from the various departments of the Sunday School and church work were read. All of the reports were very satlsfactorv.

A TRAVELING TEAM Starrs to Play Most of Their x Games Abroad.

After its failure to secure a berth in the K. I. O. League and to secure the lease upon the Athletic park for tbe .coming season, the Starr Piano baseball club has decided to travel this season. Attempts will be made to secure the Athletic park when the Richmond team is playing abroad. In case this is done the Starr people will have eight games at home and will play the remaining Sundays at Muncie, Oxford, Greenville, Dayton. Portland and Ko komo. At a meeting this week the Starr club reorganized, although the same officers werei chosen to manage the club. They are George Reed, president, Charles Eubanks, vice president and Everett Sullivan, secretary and manager. Before the Starr club arranges Its dates with out-of-town teams it will wait for the K. I. O. league schedule.
