FOURTH NEGRO'LYNGHED
AFTER MURDER OF GIRL
FORT WORTH, Tex.. May 9.—
l"reestone county. where four negroes
have been lynched since the slaying of
Eula. Ansley. seventeen-year-old white
girl, was quiet last night. although re-
ports were circulated again today that
negroes had made threats to avenge
the deaths. Dispatches said residents
of. the county apparently were show-
ing little concern over the threats.
The body of the fourth negro was
found hanging to a. tree yesterday near
Kirvin. where the three others were
burned at the stake last. fiturduy. The
negro. Tom Cornish, a brother of one
of those burned. was believed by citi-

THE NURSES
Said to Be the Greatest
Need of the Norwalk Hos-
pital at the Present Time
It is a fortunate thins.r in one sense
that the Norwalk Hospital Associa-
tion has the old hospital to use us a
nurses' home. in another sense it
might be looked upon as somewhat of
a. misfortune. If it did not exist. the
community might rise on mouse and
secure a better home. It was built
as a hospital. and as a nurses' home
it is at best a. makeshift. As the in-
tention has been to sell as soon as
something better can be provided,
little has been spent upon its upkt-Ep.
The Norwalk Hospital is in acute
need of a regular nurses’ homc._u
building having all the required fa.-
cilitlcs. This has long been recog-
nized. and the Board of Directors has
recently appointed :1 preliminary
committee on the subject. Our new
hospital compares I'w'orably with any
other such institution in the. state.
but when we turn to the nurses' home
it is an altogether different story.
\Ve feel the nation-wide. shortage
of nun-es in our own hospital. And
this in our own midst is the lack of
a. home. There is nothing lacking in
the instruction course nor in the hos.
pital facilities, but there is a tremen-
dous lack in the sort of home we
ft rnish our nursing staff. The com-
