GIRLS MlsTREATED

New York City.-The removal OF
William r. George from active parti-
'cipation in the affairs Of the George
Junior Republic, at Freeyille, New
York, founded by him more than ten
years ago, was recommended by the
state board of charities In a report
adopted yesterday afternoon, and
made public this morning. Georges
moral conduct, as the result OF lnfor-
nation supplied by young girls, was
severely condemned.
Want Girls Removed.
In addition to the recommendation
that no more girls be received. the
board urges that girls now there be
removed as speedily to other institu-
tions and also recommends that the
courts of the republic and its grand
jury, and district attorney, be abol-
ished, and that the superintendent
deal with all offenses in the future.
The republic was founded as q
harbor refuge for bad boys. Pioneer
members were toughs of the old
Bowery. These We're taken to- the
hills near Ithaca, where they govern-
ed themselves.
George acted as a benevolent des-
pot. He asserted that his chief aim
was to bring back to the atmosphere
of home life hayward boys and girls
who had strayed. On the Freevil,e
model other George Junior republics
were founded throughout the coun-
try. In addition to immoral living,
George is charged with exercising
hypnotism on various members of the
republic. George is SO proficient with
hypnotism that he could hynnotixe
himself standing before mirror,
and then have the spell broken by
some one else
Follows Long Inquiry. +
The recommendation OF the state
board of & charities that william,
George Jr., be removed az head or
the George JuniorETepublic was the,
result OF an investigation begun six
months ago during which more than
fifty witnesses of six states we're ex-
amined on charges OF loose living.
The testimony was unprintable. No
verdict as to whether the charges
were proved was rendered by the
committee conducting the inquiry.
The state board report created a SEN
sation, forecasting Georges retire.

WANTS U. S. TO
OWN TELEGRAPH
POSTNiASTER-GENERAL MAKES
STRONG DECLARATION FOR
THIS CHANGE. IN HIS AN
NUAL MESSAGE.

Washington, ID. ca sweeping
declaration in favor of the principle
of government ownership of tele-
phone and telegraphic lines and an
assertion that the postal service now
is self-supporting for the first time
since 1888, are features of the an
nual report oil Postmaster General
Burleson, transmitted today to con
gress.
Concerning the acquisition of
telephone and telegraph lines, Post
master General Burleson says that
The government has demonstrated
its capacity to conduct public utili-
ties, and, from his present nforma-
zion, he is inclined clearly to the
taking over by the postoffice depart
ment OF the telegraph lines and
possibly, also, OF the telephone
lines Discussing that, the postmas-
ter-s general says:
"A study of the constitutional
purposes OF the postal establish ment
leads to the conviction that the post
Office department. should have control
over all means of tine communication
Of intelligence. The first telegraph
line in this country was maintained
and operated as part of the postal
service, and it is to be regretted that
congress saw fit to relinquish this
facility to private enterprise. The
monopolistic nature of the telegraph
business makes it OF vital Importance
to the people that it be conducted by
unselfish interests, and this can be
accomplished only through govern
ment ownership.
"The act of July "a. 1886, provid-
ing for the government acquisition
of the telegraph lines upon the pay
ment of an appraised valuation and
uhe act OF 1912 directing the post
master general to report TO con
gress the probable cost of connect
ilg a telegraph and telephone sys-
TEN with the postal service by some
| feasible plan are evidences of the
policy of this government ultimately
| o acquire and operate these electri
cal means of communication as post
| al facilities, as is done by all the
| principal nations, the United States
alone excepted.
The successful operation of the
parcel post has demonstrated the ca
| )acity of the government to conduc
he public utilities which fall proper
| within the postal provision Of tht
| constitution.

commission has had prepared a list

O to $1.74 per ton, the average rate

KAPPAS WIN THE
FINAL D. w. DEBATE
GET COLLEGE CHAMPIONSHIP BY
DEFEATING DELTA RHOS
LAST NIGHT.

The Kappas clinched the debating
championship of Dakota Wesleyan
last evening by winning over the Del
ta Rios by unanimous decision. The
proposition argued was the adyisab-
ility of giving cbainet members a
seat and voice in both houses of
Congress.
The affirmative side OF the ques-
ton, upheld by the Kappas, was
argued by Quarnberg, Z. Smith and
the Delta Rios were Chaffee, Purdum
and Thompson.
The debate was exceedingly inter
esting in that it took an unexpected
turn in an alternative plan proposed
by the negative 1t was probably be-
cause the affirmative met this effect
lively in rebuttal that they won. The
affirmative urged the adoption OF
the measure on the grounds that fed
eral laws would be enacted on bet.
ter understanding of conditions that
it would bring about better under
standing and cooperation between
the executive and legislative depart
ments; that it would enable executive
officials to become real administra-
tors; and that it would give congress
adequate means to thoroughly super.
wise administrative acts.
The negative contended that the
proposed plan would do no good; tha
it is not in harmony with our govern.
ment; that it would bring about GER
tain evil results; that it would not
make information more available:
and that a plan is possible which
would bring about the desired re
suits. namely, the authorization o
cabinet members to come before con
gressional committees. s
The judges were Prof. J. w. Nc
Clinton, Prof. d. Allen and VIM. Her
bert. The presiding officer was Prof
van Benthuysen.
Immediately following the debate
