Kthmelt O'Nent nnd Charles J. Itueselt,
tor years members of tho Board of
Trustees of tho Frank ford Hospital, mado
af tho annual meeting of tho hospital
last night, because theso men, according
to rrankford doctors, wero prono to favor
th downtown physicians, was a partial
tucews. .
Frankford doctors nro guarding their
Interests Jealously, hut they say they feel
the effort last night wai not a failure, In
spite of- the fact that their candidates, S
(Waller Koulkiod and John Walton, were
defeated 2 to 1 by Emmott O'Neal, who
was re-elected, whllo James McMastcr
was chosen to tako tho place of Charles J.
nussell.
Somo assert that Russoll knew ho could
not bo elected, nnd refused to havo his
name submitted. Others hold ho wanted
peace, "peaco nt any price" nnd so ho
sacrificed himself.
For the last year, thero.hns been n
feeling among tho physicians of Frank
ford that tho board of trustees aro prono
to favor tho downtown physlclnns, ac
cording to 8. Wnltcr Koulkrod, when
asked, about tho situation this morning.
Mr. Foulkrod Is the attorney whom tho
doctors called In to help them out of their
dimculty Ho was not a member of the
Frankford Hospital Corporation, so sent
In his $5 fco nnd an application for mem
bership Ho wni tnken In as a member
and ran on tho doctor's ticket for n
member of tho board of trustees. Letters
and telephono calls had been going tho
rounds of Frankford for days In nn effort
to elect Walton nnd Foulkrod
"I think that thocorporatlon did tho
best thing possible under tho circum

"and I am glad that I Joined tho organiza
tion I nm not tho least bit disgruntled
because I was defeated I consider Mr.
McMaster one of Frankford's strongest
and best men. and I urn glad he has been
elected I think that as a result of the
meeting last night, thcro is a. better felling
between tho doctors and tho trustees thnn
thero has b?en for a long time."
When nsked whnt tho trouble was, one
of the pro-doctor faction said this morn
ing, "Tho cntlro trouble grow out of the
disposition of tho trustccB, to adopt n pol
icy of having two downtown men, one tho
chief suigeon and tho other tho physl-cian-ln-chlef,
as tho piactlcal medical
boaid of the Frankford Hospital.
"Prior to 1915 tho hospital medical staff
virtually constituted thd medical board
Tho Frankford physicians met as a board
arid made recommendations. These tho
trustees acted on. This policy was
changed In February, 1915, nnd tho Frank
ford men were Ignored," ho added, "and

mnnj look through tho wrong end of the
telescopo They seo Ilttlo things hljr and
big things little." ho said. He urged the
necessity of students taking caro of their

Doctor Ljon suld one iif tho great

"It is what jou ato above jour neck

SALOONKEEPER 5BOSCH BELIEVES
IN FLAGGING" DRUNKARDS
Calls Verdicts Against
Rum Sellers Who
Ignore Wives' Re
quests Entirely Just
Says Mrs. Alexander
Authorized Him to
Give Her Husband
All He Wanted
Jacob Bosch, too, believes that a man
should bo prosecuted If he sells liquor to
nny man after that man" has been
"flngged" by his wife.
Ho nolds that If ho did sell liquor to
Adam Alexander at his saloon, 2521 North
2ith street, after his wife, Mrs. Virginia
Alexander, asked him not to do so, that
a Jury ought to lino a verdict of 12500
which he should pay Mrs. Alexander, 263
Huntingdon streot.
Hut Mr. Bosch holds that ho has not
been given a squaro deal and that a "pack
of lies havo been trumped up against
him" to secure tho verdict for tho
womnn,
'.This Is ah awful thing," said Mr
Uoseh when sitting with his dnughtcr Ida
nnd a representative of the Evenino
LnDOBn In his saloon today, "I havo had
this placo slnco 1007, nnd all tho people
In this neighborhood enn tell you that
I havo had n reputable and a decent
place. This case came as nn absolute
surprise to me. I never thought I would
lme such nn experience because I have
tried to do the right thing. This womnn
nccr nsked me to stop selling liquor to
her husband She did tell my bnrtonder
once nnd 1G minutes later camo In nnd
told him to sell 'Old Bean Betb' (that Is
what she called him) nil tho liquor ho
could drink."
Mr. Bosch holds that Mr. Alexander
camo to his saloon as ho would to a
library or a club, that he soldom drank,
and estimates that the man did not drink
moic than $100 on liquor In his saloon In
tho yenr boforo ho died. Ho says, though,
that the Alexaiters nlways had liquor In
their home.
"No ono ever snw Adam go out of my
saloon drunk," said Mr. Bosch with spirit,
"Ho. wns a steady drinking man, but ho
never got drunk. Because of the dropsy,
which all his family suffer from, perhaps
tho drinking was not good for him, but
I am suro that what ho got In my saloon
never killed him. Ho was 5 feet 4 Inches
tall and weighed between 265 and 270
pounds, so you sec, ho was In somo con

later tho same morning with a pitcher
wanting beer, mid nt that time told tho
bartender to sell her husband all ho
wanted.
"Ho doesn't look a murderer, does ho?"
said Miss Ida Bosch at this point. "I

BAKERS, TAKE NOTICE:
BREAD MUST BE CLEAN
State Insists on Omission of
Rusty Nails, Buttonhooks and
Other Foreign Substances
Bakers who are dirty and proud of it
will havo to reform.
Thero will be no more coering up tho
soil spots with flour. It hns been found
that the crisp brown crust of apparently
Innocent bread often covers a multitude of
hlns.
The campaign against careless bakers
will bo very rigorous. It Is highly prob
ablo that these molders of tho dough will
hao to remove their beards, chase their
mustaches, keep their hair cut short and
wear skin tight gloves and seo that bread
contains nothing but normal Ingredients.
Bald-headed, bare-faced bakers will be In
demand.
It is at least provoking to find such
things as a rusty nail, a button hook,
section of a brick, a carpet tack, hooks
nnd eyes and other things among one's
morning rolls. But theso and een
stranger things havo been found. All of
which goes to show that tho dough which
composes tho bread or rolls might hao
been used ns a 'bludgeon or a door mat
In some dark mysterious cellar, where
much of our bread is produced.
The trouble Is that many bakers make
bread with about as much caie as they
shovel coal In tho furnace. To them It's
merely a case of getting eo many loaves
baked for the morning.
So much foreign matter has been found
In bread that the State has taken the
subject In hnnd.
