Geneva SCHOOL
CONDITION GOOD,
SAYS M'CAULEY
New Superintendent in Report
Pays Tribute to Woman
Released by State
Board.

Lincoln, Oct. 22.--(Special.)-A
very interesting echo of the inves-
tigation Of the management OF the
7 iris industrial school at Geneva,
n which the then board of control
asked for the resignation of Miss
LYDIA Mcmahon, because of alleged
Encouragement and unfitness for
the position, comes in the report
made by Superintendent Paul S. Nc
Cauley, successor to Miss McMa-
hon, Just published by the board,
and which should effectually settle
the controversy as to the condition
Of the school under the management
Of Miss Mcmahon
Miss Mcmahon resigned in Febru-
airy, 1918, and McCauley took charge
almost immediately. The report OF
Mr.. MeCauley covers the period
from December /, 1916, to December
|. 1918. In his report he says:
Having so recently come to the
girls industrial school as its head,
I feel that little credit is due me for
the splendid condition of the school
at this time. ] found such a de-
gree Of interest manifested by all
concerned that absence and tardi-
ness was almost unknown, and this
interest continued to the end of the
term"
This ought to effectually settle the
controversy as to the successful
management of the school under its
former superintendent and justifies
the charge made by friends of the
superintendent that the action Of the
then board was unjustifiable.

North Nebraska Farmers
Will Feed MANY Cattle

"This has been an unusually good
year for crops in Nebraska" said
M. c. Barnes of Plainview, who
visited the stock yards Wednesday.
From Norfolk along the North
western up into Boyd county have
received reports that the crop yields
are above normal. There will be a
good supply Of pigs.
But few farmers in my section
have put in cattle for feeding as
yet, but from all indications there
will be feeding on an extensive
scale and more than usual. Every
thing that could be found close at
hand has been bought up by the
small feeders and stock is being
brought in from outside territory.
The delay in putting in stock has
been caused by hope that prices
would come down. Feeding con-
Germs are making arrangements for
placing number Of large herds for
the winter"

POLICEMAN Who
INSULTED GIRL
/. is Ex0NERATED
Chief Eberstein Insists Officer
Had Honorable Motive
in Accosting Miss
Barrett.

The drunken policeman who ac-
costed and insulted Miss Virdi Bar
rett early Sunday morning while the
girl was on her way to mass at St.
Cecelia's cathedral was yesterday
exonerated by Chief Eberstein.
Despite the fact that Miss Barrett
declared the officer, whose breath
was reeking with the fumes of
whisky when he thrust his atten-
tons upon her on the deserted
streets, the chief of police has de-
clared the man was actuated by an
honorable motive.
For six blocks the officer is said
to have walked with the protesting
girl. >
HE tried to hold my hand and
make an engagement with me-" Miss
Barrett declared. Il am positive he
was intoxicated"
Doing His Duty, Says Chief.
In an attempt to justify the po-
liceman's conduct Chief Eberstein
declared he had given instructions to
the effect that officers should assist
women when they. were found on
the streets alone.
Despite the fact that Miss Barrett
told the two detectives who ques-
toned her that the policeman who
insulted her was intoxicated, the
chief of police declared the officer
was doing his duty when he thrust
himself upon the unprotected girl.
His statement follows:
Il have had the case investigated
and I find the officer merely OBJ
served the young woman out alone
during the darkness of early morn
ing. The policeman offered his
protection"
|. Miss Barrett declared she was
positive she could identify the man
who insulted her if she were given
an opportunity to do so.
Commissioner Ringer when asked
by a reporter what he knew of the
affair, declared it had not been
brought to his attention.
