Superintendent Of Girls Industrial
School Qnder lnuestina&iaa

Superintendent Of Girls Industrial
School Under Investiaa tion.
Des Moines, May 11.-Charges that
superintendent F. P. Fitzgerald Of the
state industrial school for girls at
Mitchellville has been unduly intimate
with some Of the pretty inmates of the
institution under his charge are being
investigated by the state board of con-
troll.
According to Chairman John Cownie
the preponderance Of evidence up to
this time Indicates that the charges
are the result of the gossip of dis
gruntled employees and people of
Mitchellville. Mr.. Fitzgerald left on
Saturday for st. Anthony, wyo., where
his son is critically i'll of typhoid few
er, and Mr.. Cownie is in temporary
charge at Mitchellville.
Inmates and employees were put I'M
der oath during two days inquisition
held by the board at Mitchellville last
week and made. to testify in regard to
stories that Me. Fitzgerald had been
guilty Of improper conduct. SO far no
direct testimony rejecting on the SUI
|perintendent has been given, altho
some OF the witnesses repeated stories
ana gossip that had been told them by
other girls at the school. Much of the
evidence was contradictory, and Mr..
Cownie declared last night that there
had been not a particle of testimony
against Mr.. Fitzgerald that would
stand in court of law.

A short time after he had gone the

Of which he was a member, held a flu

La Porte City.
The growing of sugar beets is at
tracing considerable attention in this
part of the state, and this year many
farmers in this vicinity will make a
practical test of the money making
qualities of this, to this section, new
agricultural product. A large acreage
near several of the shipping points
along the Rock Island will be planted
to beets this spring and the industry
will be carried on on much larger
scale than it was last year. Last year
a few acres were raised in the vicinity
OF La Porte City, but the care of the
fields was not so we'll understood and
the best results could not be obtained.
William Ballheim was the most sue
cessful grower in this vicinity last year
and he found the product very remun-
erative. At La Porte City contracts
have been made for about 100 acres: at
Mt. Auburn for 60; at vinton for 40:
lat Shellsburg the company has con-
tracts for over 900 acres.
