PEARY WILL NOT

Over.

WASHINGTON March 16.-For the
first time since the Introduction in
congress of the various bills to reward
Civil Engineer Peary for his discovery
of the North Pole, the. house commit
tee on Naval affairs had chance to
go on record on the proposition. The
result was particularly discouraging
to Mr.. Peary's friends and admirers.
The committee unanimously turned
down motion by Representative En-
glebright of California that the sub
committee which has been consider
ing the reward bills. be discharged and
the full committee report on of the
measures.
1t is probable that Peary will not
be rewarded until he presents TO con-
gress all his original data in connec-
tion with his Arctic explorations. This
he has refused to do at this time.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, March 16.-The
insurgent movement in the republican
party is merely a species of hysteria,
with taint of hypocrisy as we'll, and
is sure to dwindle in Importance and
extent as the next national campaign
approaches, so declares Richard A.

who arrived in ST Paul this morning
from Washington, to address the Min

II do not think the so-called spirit
of insurgency is obtaining much of a
foothold in the eastern states" said
he. In fact, it is my belief that the
feeling against the Payne-Aldrich tar

die west, and which gave the real i'm
petus to the insurgent movement, Is
rapidly waning.

Wild Night at Mitehellvlle When the
Superintendent Locked Herself
in Room for
Safety
GIRLS STARTED RIOT
Sheriff Had to be Called to Quell the
lnsurrection and Eight Girls
Were Sent to
Jail.

DES MONIES, March 16.-Eight
girls, inmates of the state reformatory
at Mitchellville, were locked up in
the Polk county Jail, after pleading
guilty to charge of melting riot,
which was joined in by thirty girls
of the institution.
Upon receiving their sentence of ten
days imprisonment the girls defiant
ly declared to Justice Cope that they
would welcome any change that would
remove them from the control of Miss
Hattie Garrison, superintendent of the
institution, who they declare mistreats
them, takes away their privileges and
beats them with rubber hose.
The arrest followed a night of ter
ror in the institution, during which
Miss Garrison was forced to lock her
self in her room, fearing the violence
of the enraged girls. 1t was only
quelled upon the arrival of Sheriff
Ben Ness and two members of the
state board of control, Judge G. S.
Robinson and Senator John F. Wade.
The riot started at the supper table,
when two girls broke the rules by
talking at the table. They were repri-
manded, and appeared threatening
the remainder of the evening.
Miss Garrison, anticipating trouble,
ordered a guard placed at the window
of the Model Cottage No. 6, which
the girls occupied. Upon the discov.
cry of the guard the girls started an
