Disagreement in Regard to Colorado
Industrial School for GirIs-Ex-
pected Change Of Management.
Denver, May 16.-Following is the
Republicans version Of the Industrial
School difficulties:
All Of the five members of the board
Of control of the State Industrial
School for Girls have resigned, not
just three of them as stated yesterday.
The designations have been in the
hands of the governor for the last
week and he will appoint a new board
to reorganize the work at that institu-
tion.
The members of the present board
are Mrs. Martha Taft, Mrs. J. B. Hun
ter. Mrs. Harriet G. r. Wright. Rob
ert NJ. Colder, all of this city, and DR..
Josephine Peavy of Colorado Springs.
The dissolution of the board is the re-
suit OF abolishing corporal punishment.
as stated yesterday, and the trouble
has been brewing for some time. Mrs.
Taft. Mr.. Colder and DR.. Peavey are
a majority of the board and they are
opposed to inf1icting corporal punish
ment. Miss Emma Page is the super
intendent and she is disciple Of Solo
mon, whose wisdom was interpreted
by the Indiana pedagogue when he
said: "No lickin', no learnin'." The
minority of the board, composed Of
Mrs. Hunter and Mrs. Wright, sides
with the matron.
Starting with this disagreement, the
trouble grew until, it is said one mem
ber at least went around peddling
scandalous tales about other members.
The majority have been ready to re-
sign for some time, and have an en-
tirely new head. but it has been i'm
possible to bulge the minority. Gov
ernor Mcdonald was able to use soma
sort of hypnotic influence and finally
secured the designations.
Since corporal punishment has been
abolished, it is alleged, there has been
lax discipline at the institution, as well
as numerous escapes, and it rs charged
by the majority that the matron takes
that way of demonstrating that the
place cannot be properly conducted
without plenty of whipping.
The law requires that there be three
women on the board, and how Gov
ernor Mcdonald will make it up is a
problem. 1t has been suggested that
he name a board which will agree to
put the management of the school
practically under the direction of DR..
Paddleford, the superintendent of the
boys school at Golden. DR.. Paddle
ford has made such fine record in
the work that a competent matron
working under his supervision would.
it is argued. make G success of the
girls institution.

Drunken Man Runs Amuek.

San Diego, Cal, May 1G.-AI1ned
with rifle, revolver and dirk, each OF
which he used with deadly dexterity.
a madman ran amuck in this city yes
terday, killing two men, boy and a
woman, wounding two other persons,
and finally blowing off the top Of his
own head ana dying within few min
utes. Three of the victims lived in the
same house with the slayer. The fourth
person whom he killed and the two
who were wounded resided half a mile
away, and 1t was in their house that
the maniac took his own life.
The man who enacted this ghastly
tragedy was w. p. Robinson, about
forty years of age, of powerful build
and some education. The precise causes
which led him to wholesale murder
may never be ascertained. 1t Is known.
however, that he was a heavy drinker,
that he was intensely interested in the
Nihilist movement In Russia ana that
against two or three OF his victims he
fancied that he had some petty griev-
ance. On the other hand, he is said to
have been ordinarily a good-natured
man and inclined to be generous-one
of the last persons likely to take life.
The general supposition is that drink
and brooding over N:hllism brought on
an attack of homicidal mania.

Funeral Of a Striker.

Chicago, May 15.-Marching with
draped banners and muffled drums
more than 1000 union men followed
the remains of strike victim George S.
Pierce from his late home to the un-
ion station here yesterday.
No funeral services were held here,
but the escorting of the body to the
station was made the occasion of a la
Dor demonstration in which not only
the teamsters' union, but organized la
Dor generally, participated. The prog
ress Of the cortege was without Incl
dent. The men marched solemnly four
abreast. Each wore upon his coat
lapel white button with the inscrip-
tion In black:
I'VE mourn the loss of a murdered
brother"
Pierce was an employe of Rothschild
& Co., as driver of delivery wagon.
He was shot by Special Deputy Sheriff
F. T. Waldorf. He is the only union
man who has lost his life during the
strike and is regarded by other men as
a martyr to the cause. Pierce is said
to have assaulted a non-union driver
in the presence of Waldorf. Waldorf
was exonerated by a coroner's jury.

out of gratitude for the birth OF a son
and heir, made a gift to the school Of

a building in honor Of his baby. The
design and plans for building were

The board has had a plan drawn. but
it was found that according to this
plan the building would cost nearly
100000.
The plan was forwarded to Mr.. Gug.
genheim in New York City. The tele
gram yesterday stated that 1t was per.
fectly satisfactory, and that the donor
would stand good for the increase in
cost.
The new building will be known as
Guggenheim hall. 1t will be two
stories and basement. with tile man.
sard roof. In a tower on the center
will be placed a large clock that can
be seen all over the grounds.

Fighting Moro Outlaw.

Manila, May 16.-Fierce fighting has
been going on the last two weeks on
the island of Jolo between the outlaw
Moro chief, Pala, with 600 wellarmed
followers, and troops under the per-
sonal command of Maj. Gen. Leonard
Wood Pala's losses thus far are 300
killed, while those of General Wood
are seven killed and nineteen wounded.
Pala and his remaining followers, in
accordance with Moro tradition, prefer
death to capture.
General Wood. with detachments
from the Fourteenth cavalry, the Sew
enteenth, Twenty-second, Twenty
third infantry, and constabulary scouts,
Lad driven Pala and his followers into
a swamp which has been surrounded.
Pala was a noted slave trader and
warrior when the Americans occupied
the islands. Later he escaped with his
followers to the island of Pula Sekar,
near Borneo. One of Paya's leaders de-
serted and took refuge in the British
settlement at Lahad. Pala, discover
ing his whereabouts, landed with fol-
lowing and demanded of the British
magistrate that he turn the deserter
over to him. The demand was not COM
piled with and Pala ordered massa-
ere. Twenty-Five persons, including
several British, were killed. Pala es-
capped to the island of Joio and organ
ized the present uprising. 1t is re-
ported that the Borneo authorities re-
quested General Wood to apprehend
Pala, dead or alive, anG turn him over
to them.

LAKE GEORGE CUT. OFF
DENVER & CRIPPLE CREEK LINE
New Route Planned by Colorado &
southern-From Platte Canon to
Great Gold Camp,

Denver May 15-The News this
morning says: Cripple Creek is to be
within two hours Of Denver. instead
OF five. as at present, the distance to
be reduced from 131 miles to less than
ninety. This Is what the Lake George
cutoff Of the Colorado & Southern will
do toward bringing the principal
points of Colorado closer together.
Four years ago the proposed cutoff
was surveyed. and 1t was the intention
to build 1t then. The change in the
ownership of number of the Colo
rado railroads changed this, however,
and the plan was practically given
up, although 1t was realized that 1t
would be of untold benefit not only to
the great gold camp, but to Denver as
well.
Now that the Colorado & Southern
has perfected all Of its plans for be-
coming a great continental system.
this cut in both the running distance
and the time will be put into effect as
soon as the new road can be built.
The cutoff will probably begin at
Dome Rock, on the Leadville branch
OF the Colorado & Southern. Dome
Rock is thirty-two miles from Denver.
and from there a cutoff of forty-two
miles VIII be run straight across the
country. meeting the Colorado Midland
road at Lake George. From there it
is about ten miles into Cripple Creek.
This is not the only extension
planned by the Colorado & Southern.
AS foretold In the News. the intention
Is to make 1t a transcontinental line,
reaching from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific. 1t is to carry out these plans
and to look the ground over that Presi-
dent B. L. Winchell of the Rock
Island, who is also interested in the
Colorado & Southern, will arrive in
Denver to-day or tomorrow with
party Of railroad men. In the party
is w. H. Moore of Moore Bros, who
control the Rock Island; d. G. Reid,
chairman of the executive board; Sec

the benefits which will be derived, in
fact, are being derived, from shelter.
ing and feeding stock during cold
spells in the winter. New Mexico
stockmen will have to come to this
sooner or later. and the sooner the
better. Says the Colfax County Stock
man this week: From reports 1t is
almost safe to say that during the

to search the place for liquor. Miller
refused to allow the search to proceed.
and stated that while willing to be ar
