Denver, March 16.--Mrs. Ursula X.
Harrison has an idea that she took
charge of the State Industrial School
for Girls yesterday. The inmates have
a different opinion. When 1t became
known that the Chicago woman was
coming out here to subdue the riotous
youngsters they decided to give her a
reception. She got it. The home looks
more like a chicken coop than a prison,
and the wind and dust are whistling
through It as If there never had been
sash in the windows. At least
dozen of the large windows are with
out glass. Doors are minus panels and
the stairs have only a rail to guard
them. Havoc was played with the
building and fixtures. Ten of the girls
are in the city Jail.
At 8 o'clock yesterday morning all
the girls were called into the assembly
room to be introduced to the new sup
erintendent. Their dismissal after the
introduction was the signal for the out
break. Twenty or more of the girls
rushed up the stairs 70 the second floor.
Some of the larger ones began kick
ing out the rungs that supported the
banisters. One by one these rungs
were loosened. The iron door at the
head of the steps was shut and barred
so the guards could not get, at the
girls, and then the latter played havoc
with the loose rungs. Each girl seized
one with a yell of delight They went
through the building and left wreck
and ruin in their wake. AS they came
to the front of the building one of the
six-foot glass windows was shattered
| The girls got out on the balcony and
ran around the building. They took
turns at smashing windows until they
reached the rear of the building Those
who were left inside kicked the panels
out of the doors. When a number of
these had been destroyed they started
In on the dishes. They played batting
flies with the clubs for bats and cups,
saucers and plates for balls. Then the
guards got at them and put stop to
! the wrecking of the building. A hurry
| call was sent for the police.
Captain Phillips. in charge of wag-
| onload of men, responded. Policemen
Haines and Hogan had been placed at
the home early in the morning in ex-
| pectation of an outbreak. The girls
paid no attention to them. They did
all in their power to prevent the out
| break, but the girls were too strong.
The extra force, however, arrested 10.
The riot was not only the work of
the older girls. as usual, but there were
| younger ones in the melee, and few
who have heretofore been quiet and
| submissive. When they rushed out of
the assembly room they acted like lun-
atics. Everyone, it seemed. caught the
fever. They We're bent solely on de-
struction. Some of them got to the
third floor when the guards and police
men reached the second floor. They re-
peated their work. Doors and windows
were shattered and very dish that
could be got hold of was broken.

SCHOOLMASTHR WHIPPED.
Nearly Tore OF the Ear OF a Pupil
and Her Father Thrashed Him.

Buffalo. N. Y, March 16.-School-
master Bowen. of Depew, this county
is at his home in a critical condition.
DIR. Gipple, who is attending him, says
that his injuries may prove fatal. In
the town Jail, awaiting the result of
Bowen's injuries, is George Winters,
one of the best-known citizens of De-
pew. There is no sympathy for the
schoolmaster, while the whole village
is with Winters in his trouble. Minnie
Winters attends Bowen's school,
On Friday last Bowen took her by
the ear, giving it a severe twist, tear
ing the ear so badly that a physician
put six stitches in it. Winters sent a
note to the teacher advising him to be
more careful. Bowen dared him to
come to the school. Winters went.
Bowen struck him in the face without
warning, it is said. Winters then ham
mered Bowen's face until it resembled
a piece of raw beef. Men who heard
the noise of the fight separated them,
and Bowen was carried to his home.

WANAMAKER CAMPAIGN.

campaign fund of not less than $780,
900, mortgaging influential bankers and
affording unlimited credit to borrow
vast sums for personal campaigns, and
exhibiting incumbents entering upon
the office of state treasurer poor, and
on a $4,000 salary in two years re-
tire with a competency.
"The state treasurer's office has been
the storm center of suspicion and scan
dal for many years. Public sentiment.
always strong, at times inf1amed by
rumors of great shortages, of funds
deposited in unsound banks, of IL
legal collections of interest on state
moneys, of reckless CIRCULATION by
treasury officials, has time and again
unsuccessfully demanded a treasury
investigation, always to find the SEN
tinels that guarded every approach

Mr. Wanamaker averred, as an il
lustration of the extent to which the
state moneys were manipulated, that a
Philadelphia bank, whose president Us
one of Quay's old lieutenants," a pri-
vatc institution capitalized at $l50,000
has continuously carried a deposit
ranging from 100000 to S1,20O,000 Of
state funds. In conclusion Mr.. Wana-
maker charged that 'in ten years the
Quay machine has taken from the tax
payers s1,250,000 and in twenty years
s., 100000
He declared that a large part of the
million of Pennsylvania voters are
tired of ring rule and unwilling to
submit tamely to the surrender of state
affairs to Quay"
A CORNER IN POLITICS.
The Legislature and the political
power, he said, had been cornered like
wheat.

orders, must give place to a new man

Mr.. Wanamaker said he was in the

and true to the traditions of Lincoln

SIMPLE AT FIRST,
II IL Foolish to Neglect Any Form of
piles-. Cure Tn m nj tho Br " UutuR.


Piles are simple in the beginning
and easily cured. They can be cured
even in the worst stages, without pain
or loss of blood, quickly, surely and
completely. There Is only one remedy
that will do it-Pyramid Pile Cure.
1t allays the Inflammation imme-
diately, heals the irritated surface and
with continued treatment reduces the
swelling and puts the membranes into
good, sound, healthy condition. The
cure Is thorough and permanent.
Here are some voluntary and unso-
licited testimonials We have lately re-
ceived.
Mrs M. C. Hinkly, COL Mississippi
St., indianapolis, Ind, says: Have
been a sufferer from the pain and an
noyance of piles for fifteen years, the
Pyramid Pile Cure and Pyramid Pills
gave me immediate relief and in a
short time a complete cure.
Major Dean of Columbus, Ohio. says:
/ wish to add to the number of GER
tiicates as to the benefits derived
from the Pyramid Pile Cure. 1 suf-
fered from piles for forty years and
from itching piles for twenty years
and two boxes of the Pyramid tIle
Cure have effectually cured me.
Most druggists sell Pyramid Pile
Cure or will get it for you If you ask
them to. 1t is scots. for full sized

EMERGENCY APPROPRIATIONS.
Millions Heretofore Placed at the
Disposal OF the President.

From the Washington Post
Emergency appropriations of millions
of dollars ''for the national Defense"
in anticipation of possible war; are by
no means unusual in our history, and
the searches that have been made by
congressman for "precedents" have af-
forded overwhelming evidence in sup
port of the action in congress in max
ing large appropriations "for the ma
tional defense" and placing the expen-
dlture thereof in the complete discre-
tion Of the president. This statement
is absolutely true in regard to the only
instances in which congress led the
way, namely, in 1898, in anticipation of
war with France, and in 1912, prior to
the declaration of war with Great
Britain. In 1916 the war with Mexico
had been actually begun before con-
gress made provision by law for the
prosecution of the existing war between
the United States and the republic of
Mexico" The situation and conditions
in 1861, at the beginning of the war OF
the rebellion, were quite similar to
those of 1S46
In 1898 and in 1912 liberal emergency
appropriations were made in antici-
patton of the wars which ensued, and
congress, in each instance. in making
the laws placed "at the discretion of
the president or under the direction
of the president" the execution of the
laws and the expenditure of the moneys
"in case such should be found neces-
sary."
In 1898, in anticipation of war with
France, congress authorized the presi-
dent of the United States to raise a
provisional army "in the event of a
declaration of war against the United
States, or of actual invasion of their
territory, by a foreign power, or of
imminent danger of such invasion dis
covered in his (the president's) opin-
ion to exist, before the next session of
congress" and in the same act the
president was authorized to cause to
be enlisted, and to call into actual SER
vice number of troops, not exceeding
10000, to be enlisted for a term not ex-
ceeding three years" The appropriation
toward defraying the expenses which
may be necessarily incurred before the
next session of congress, in executing

Coinage, Weights and Measures COM
mittee, presented a report to the house

aluminium, nickel, copper, zinc and
manganese which has the requisite
hardness and other qualities for coin

Another act authorized the president
