The pride of Shelton, Nebraska,
John Pesek. proved that he is to be
rated among the foremost wrestlers
in the world by his decisive defeat of
the Swedish champion. John Fre
berg. of Chicago, in two straight falls
at the Omaha auditorium last night
The match was witnessed by several
fans from Plattsmouth.
Pesek won the first fall in one
hour, twenty-three minutes and sev
enteen seconds with a toe hold forc
ing the Swede to concede the fall
The farmer boy had Freberg's leg
across his thigh and Freberg had to
concede to avoid suffering a severe

was quick, considering1 the time con
sumed for the first one, it being ten
minutes and thirty seconds. For the
second fall. Pesek used a head scis
sors and a half nelson.

terms up to that time, both men
proving fast on their feet and adept

i: SENATE ADOPTS
AMENDMENT TO
SCHOOL MEASURE
HOUSE ROLL 64 COMES BEFORE
COMMITTEE OF WHOLE AND
CHANGE PROPOSED BY HAR
RISS IS ACCEPTED.
Lincoln, Neb., March 21. After
hours of intense debate, in which
personalities were used at times, the
senate, in committee of the whole
this afternoon adopted the Harriss
amendment to House Roll No. 64 the
parochial school bill by a vote of 16
to 14.
Senator Reed led the fight for the
original bill and against the amend
ment while there were numerous
champions of the Harriss amend
ment. Senators Sears and Saunders ar
gued for the adoption of the Harriss
amendment, saying that it was in
accordance with the spirit of Amer
ican fair play and religious toler
ance. Challenge Peterson.
An impassioned talk of this nature
was made by Senator ' Taylor of
Custer.
Senator Peterson, speaking for
the amendment, was challenged as
to his sincerity by Bradstreet of
Grand Island, who became much ex
cited in debate and said he was
after the scalp of a person living
10.000 miles away.
"ifo you mean to say I am in
sincere and dishonest in my motives
in favoring this amendment?" ask
ed Peterson.
"I do," was the reply of Brad
street. Another incident occurred- when
Cordeal.. speaking of House Roll C4,
as it originally came to the senate,
as being subversive to American
ideals.
"Do you mean to say the bill is
un-American, as it came from the
house?" queried Senator Reed.
"I do," was the answer, by. Cor
deal. Senator Good, was asked if any
protests to the original bill had
come from private, or parochial
schools.
"No. not to me," said Good, "but
one member of the house dared the
senate to adopt the bill in any other
form than as it came from the
house."
Considerable excitement occurred
in the hall between the two houses
after the adoption of the amend
ment. McKee member of the' house
from Otoe and other house mem
bers were vitrolic in their condem
nation of the action of the senate.
Thearts have been made to kill the
Governor's code bill and several
senate measures as a result.

GIRLS AT GE
NEVA WHIPPED
IN PUBLIC
SUPERINTENDENT McAULEY RE
LATES TO COMMITTEE HOW
INMATES AND EMPLOYES
WITNESSED PUNISHMENT.
Lincoln, March 21. Convicts at
the penitentiary are treated better
than the inmates of the Girls' Indus
trial school at Geneva, was the sub
stance of the testimony brought out
in the board of control hearing by
the legislative investigating com
mittee today.
Girls were punished for infrac
tions of the rules by being slapped
by Superintendent Paul Sv McAuley
and employes of the institution.
They were also punished by confine
ment in closets, also in a "lock-up"
specially built for the purpose, and
by being put on a bread and water
diet for several day?. At one time
all of class 11. consisting of 25 or
more girls, were punished by being
given one "meal of bread and water
a day for 10 days because the mem
bers did not inform on some inmate
who had put soap in the food.
McAuley on. Stand.
Superintendent McAuley describ
ed the strappings he gave the girls,
some of them nearly IS years old,
with a two-inch strap made of heavy
harness leather. He compelled the
girl who was up for punishment to
take off her ordinary garments and
don a nipht jrown made of unbleach
ed muslin, some of the robes being
so thin that the form of the girl
would show through, and compel
the victim to bend across a straight
back chair while lie administered a
strapping until she called out for
mercy.
Two public whippings occurred
in the auditorium of the institution.
The first of these occurred in June,
when two girls. Dollie Chase and
Opal Redinger, were punished in the
presence of employes and inmatc3
of the school. The employes were
advised that the affair .was to come
off and were made to feel that their
presence, would not be unwelcome.
The victims had run away from the
school, and as a deterrent and exam
ple to the other inmates, all of the
older girls of the school were
brought down from their dormitory
to witness the spectacle.
.Victims Disrobe.
A screen had been placed on the
stage of the auditorium and the two
victims were compelled to go be
hind this and disrobe. They then
donned th in nightgowns and were
spanked with the strap until they
cried out. Superintendent McAuley
testified that Mra. Clark had justi
fied this method cf punishment.
The second affair took place in
September, and there were three
victims. Catherine Eschelman and
Opal Redinger were two of the girls.
The affair took place on the night of
Labor day, which was made a Ro
man holiday for five or six guests
of the superintendent, who had
come from Omaha. They were giv
en a royal time, being permitted to
indulge in a girl hunt with automo
biles as vehicles of the chase, and
when the runaways had been cap
tured of seeing them duly punished
that evening.
On this occasion only the employ
es and the invited guests were per
mitted to be present. There may
have been one or more men present,
the superintendent admitted. The
three girls were compelled to go be
hind the screen on' the stage and
don their thin cotton nighties, bend
over the back of a chair and submit
to a beating by the superintendent.
