asked for the resignation of Miss
Lyda McMahon, because of alleged
mismanagement and unfitness for
the position, comes in the report
made by Superintendent Paul S. Mc
Cauley, successor to Miss McMa
hon, just published by the board,
and which should effectually settle
:the controversy as to the condition
pf the school under the management
of Miss McMahon. " - .
' Miss McMahon resigned in Febru
ary, 1918, and McCauley took charge
almost immediately. . The report of
Mr. McCauley1 covers the period
from December 1, 1916, to December
1, 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. I 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."
I 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, v.

tioned 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:
"I have had the case investigated
and I find the officer merely ob
served the young woman out alone
during the darkness of early morn
ing. The policeman offered his
protection."

positive she could"dentify the man
who insulted her if she were given
an opportunity to do so.

Addresses, Formal Recep
tions, Automobile Drive,
and Banquets Included
In Program.
Before a large audience of Omaha
sympthizers of the Irish republic,
Liam Mellows, member of the Irish
republic, a commander of the Irish
republic army afi'd special envoy of
Eamonn De Valera, president of the
Irish republic, delivered an able ad
dress, interspersed with enthusias
tic applause, Wednesday night in
Irish Determination hall m the La
bor temple. John Rush; presided.
The subject Of the address was
"The Case of Ireland as ft Exists
Today." Mr. Mellows, said the truth
would make those listening to it feel
the blood freeze in their veins.
Among other things the speaker
accused England of attempting to
destroy all Irish ideals and make
the country English and destroy ail
efforts to maintain all vestiges of
Ireland's nationality.
Reign of Terror.
"England has never been moved
by, justice in its dealings with Ire
land," said the speaker. "The
Orangemen have teen tools of the
British government and the people
of the south and the north of Ire
land have been pitted against each
other for England's gain.
"England established a reign of
terror in Ireland by military rule at
the start of the war with Germany
and that reign of terror exists to
day. Sixteen of the leaders of the
Irish republic were executed, hun
dreds were given long terms in pris
ons and thousands were taken . to
England and held in internment
camps.
"The Irishman has been invited to
fight for democracy, wearing the
uniform of a British or American
soldier, but is considered a criminal
when he joins the army of the Irish
republic to fight for Ireland " I
Says English Foreigners.
Among other things the speaker
said the Irish people did not object
to the rule of the English as being
English, but protested that the Eng
lish werft foreigners, and it was un
just to the Irish to be under the
rule of a foreign nation.
Mr. Mellows vividly related his
treatment by the English when he
was ordered to leave Ireland in
1915 under the alien restriction law
and of his imprisonment upon his
refusal to obey the order. He told
of his escape from an English pris
on camp and subsequent arrival in
the United States.
