OPPOSES RAILROADING WOMAN TO HOSPITAL

Justice Strayer Comments on Effort to Declare Mrs. Kroma Insane. "No effort to 'railroad' people Into an insane hospital will be tolerated In my court," Justice of the Peace Frank Strayer said today. He made - this statement in connection with the finding of an inquest board in his court that Mrs. Gus Kroma, who with her two children have been cared for at the Home for Friendless Women, waa a person of unsound mind. Application for an inquest to determine Mrs. Kroma's sanity was filed by Mrs. Florence Beld. 'Gus Kroma is now In the county jail for failure to support his wife and children, and the poor woman has been having a very hard time to provide for herself and little ones," Justice Strayer , said. "If she has acted peculiarly of late, such a condition has been brought about by starvation and

desperate effort to provide for her

self and children. It was clearly determined that she is not Insane." Mrs. Kroma has left the Home for Friendless Women twice recently. The

last time she went to a West Richmond home but upon the request of

that family was returned to the Instl tutlon a few days ago.

COURT PLAGES FINE

Although two policemen and three citizens testified that when William Alexander sped down Main street between Fourth street and the bridge on his motorcycle he was cruising at a speed estimated at between thirty-five and fifty miles an hour, the young man insisted that, technically he was not guilty. He said his new motorcycle had an operating system he waa not familiar with, and that when he thought he was shutting down the power he increased the speed. The court fined him $10 and costs, and two witnesse3 claimed fees. Officer Vogelsong pursued Alexander in an automobile test car and caught bis somewhere in West Richmond. A short time ago Alexander propelled a motorcycle into an automobile, an experience that resulted in a trip to the hospital for him.

She is!

1 seen much afoot and can keep up, with!

the best men walkers, fair heel and: toe, for hours. . j
