PEELED to remove all of his clothing, and is
whipped with leather strap, doubled 80
as to make two marks, and in some cases
blood has been drawn from the helpless
sufferers. In one case it is claimed that a
boy was so badly beaten that he almost
tainted. and, as one of the children ex-
pressed it, 'he could hardly stoop down to
pick up his own pants.'' In another case
it is alleged that a boy screamed so under
the logging that the matron stuffed
handkerchief in his mouth so that he could
only moan.
The girls are logged as we'll as the boys,
only the mode is varied. When girl is to
be punished the matron waits until she
goes to bed, whsn she is whipped on her
bare flesh. On one occasion it is alleged
that because one of the girls took some
candy which had been sent in for the chill.
dren, without permission, the superintend-
ent ordered her whipped by 12-year-oId
boy. while she stood by and saw the pun
ishment administered. On another occa.
sion 1t is charged that one of the girls, for
some trivial offense, was whipped on her
bare flesh in the most cruel manner, as a
result OF which she was sick for several
days. In another case it is charged that
on 4-year.old child being taken from the
home, its mother found the back sore and
bruised from the whippings administered.
The matron, it is claimed, had told her
that the child cried a great deal, and to
make it stop she had stripped its clothes
from its breast and dashed cold water up
on it.
On another occasion it is claimed that
several boys were reported by the mon
oTs for whispering after they went to bed,
when the matron made them strip off
their night gowns and whipped them on
their bare backs, leaving marks of the strap
at every blow. On another occasion, for
the same offense. it is alleged that the
matron made them drink ground rcd pep
per in water, not such sips as they might
take by themselves, but made them open
their mouths and she poured it in, and
made them swallow it, as result of which
they were sick for hours.
On another occasion it is alleged that for
trivial infraction of the rules 9-year-old
girl was tied to her bed all night, after be.
ing whipped.
Another mode of punishment consists of

larger boys are then sent to work in the
laundry, while the younger ones are put to
| work polishing the oiled floors, all of this
before breakfast. II the work is not fin
jshed by breakfast time, the children are
compelled to return and finish it before
they are allowed to go to their playground.
The rules governing the children while at
the table are very stringent, and the slight
est infraction is severely punished, the
little offenders being frequently deprived
of food for an entire day for some trivial
matter. 1t is charged that the children,
both boys and girls, have been whipped,
the one for taking food and the other for
giving it.
THE CRUEL LASH
But by far the most serious charges made
by Mr.. Dunn against the management is
in the matter of punishment. Whipping
is resorted to on the slightest provocation,
and it is often brutal in the extreme. If a
boy is to be whipped, says Mr.. Dunn, he is
ordered to the bathroom, where he is COM

Dog Polsoner at Work

A dog poisoner has been getting in his
work on Fifth street near Los Angeles and
Wall streets. Yesterday morning found

theatrical BLACK and tan, which acknowl-
edged Bud Price of the Burbank theater as
owner, but every newspaper man and ac-

affection, almost love, for the dog and re.
grets the miserable taking off of bis friend
immensely.

that the matron had told them that she had
heard that some of the children had been
telling stories about the home, and that if
it was repeated the parents OF the children
would be arrested.
Pearl Grant, aged IL years, was also
seen. Pearl said that her work was in the
nursery. She had been whipped on her
bare flesh, when in bed. She had also seen

past, clad in a loose robe of many
bright colors- His eyes had the un-
