PUPILS WRECK

Henry Buildings Interior
Devastated by Young
VandalS.

When the teachers arrived this
morning at the Henry School. Sew
enth and 2 streets northwest, it
looked as if a Kansas cyclone had
struck the interior of the building.
Everything was topsy-turvy, and
many of the rooms were flooded
with water.
Every vase paper basket had
been turned upside down, and the
paper scattered over the floors. Ink
bottles had been broken by throw
ing them against the walls and cell
ing
The steam and water pipes in the
basement had been opened full head,
and water was running from the
cocks on the radiators in streams.
The blaekbOards had been smeared
with chalk, the crayons thrown on
the floor, and tramped until they
were crushed to powder.
Try to "Get Even"
The principal Of the school notified the
police. but no trace Of the miscreants
has yet been found. The work was
evidently that of boys probably pupils
at the school, who were bent on get
ting even for some imagined wrong or
punishment that they believed had been
inflicted upon them.
At the school il was said that no one
was under suspicion and no specific mo-
tive whatsoever could be attributed for
the wholesale smashing Of property.
Entrance was effected by prylng open
one OF the windows on the first floor
with block Of wood. The window was
still open this morning, and on the
ground outside was the niece OF wood
that had been used as Jimmy"
Smashed Everything.
This was probably the work OF some
mischievous boys, who did not realize
the extent to which they were carrying
their pranlls," said one Of the teachers.

has a grievance against the school or
any of the teachers, and I cannot be-
lieve that II was done with malicious in

damage they were doing"
