cottage at the school, while the as
sembly hall, where 60 Insurgents
were under guard, was described as
an "inferno."

terically, tear their clothes'and at

windows. Although the main force of
the outbreak was spent last night,
the disorders continued throughout

Delaware, O., Dee. J9.—A check up
this morning by officials of th# Girla
Industrial school, a state correctional
Institution here, revealed that 10 In
mates were still at large following a
riot In which more than 100 Inmates
participated.
The riot broke out late last night
and bricks and stones were hurled by
inmates at officials who attempted to
restore order.
Windows of some of the cottages
in which Incorrigible* are housed
were smashed by the rioters. Help
was summoned from Delaware. Vol
unteers from farms nearby also aided
officials, who wero outnumbered ten
to one.
Trouble broke out about 7 o'clock
last night when rumors were circulat
ed that corporal punishment, banned
by the state since dismissal of Mae
E. Stannard as matron last summer,
would be restored by the new matron,
Mrs. J. P. Elton. Residents of cot
tage Number B, In which approximate
ly 40 girls are housed, were the first
to rebel.
They demanded that the matron
deny reports that had reached them
that the ‘'paddle" was again to be
used. Failing to get satisfaction they
inarched to other cottages, and In
mates of these, it was reported joined
in the battles.
As reinforcements were received by
the officials, the girls were placed
under guard in the assembly hall, and
by midnight about 100 had been
rounded up. \
As the girls were gathered, a dance
was started which continued until
Inmates were forced to leave the floor
exhausted.
A careful check up Is being made
today to learn the names of those
still at large.

Burgess-Nash as
Public Utility
Growth of Store Is Traceable
to the Policies
Adopted.
Public Interest In the Burgess Nash
store la traceable to the disclosures
from time to time, of the progress of
the store In the business world and
of the policies on which Its success
has been founded. Omaha has come
to feel that the Burgess-Nash com
pany Is more than a business conduct
ed for private gain. It thinks of It
now as a feature of Omaha business
life, whose policy Is aiding the city s
grow th by the friends It Is making for
Omaha.
And when national trade and busi
ness publications have employed ex
perts to study and write about the
success of the Burgess Nash com
pany in the various branches of Its
business, the prestige of Omaha
throughout the whole nation, has in
creased.
The store as a semi public utility Is
the attitude of the employes and J.
F. Dailey, gene-al manager.
That the store should Increase Its
volume of business within 12 months
by more than 41 per cent was an ac
curate Indication that the public re
garded It as a favorite place In which
to shop.
