RED WING SCHOOL PLAGE OF TORTURE SWEAR WITNESSES (Continued from Page 1.) butted in, he would get a punch in the nose.” Keefe went on to say that the last time he was at the school he was made to work, although he was sick. “Now as a matter of fact,” said Superintendent Whittier, , “wasn’t you incapaciated by a private disease and didn’t you eat alone so that your dishes could be disinfected?’” And Keefe’s denial of this was not convineing. Mother Tells of What She Saw. As the mother of a boy who told her that while he was at Red Wing he had been “shamefully abused,” the testimony of Mrs. Margaret Shephard, the next witness, was of unusual interest. She told of having frequently visited the school and that at different times she had seen the flogging machine, and seen a boy strung up by the thumbs and had| seen a boy knocked down. “My boy took me up into the gar- ret of the dormatory to see the boy hung up by the thumbs and in chains.

They kept him up there like that for twenty-one meals of bread and/ water.” Mrs. Shepard was positive regard- ing her experience in the garret. She is a somewhat. illiterate woman but her evidence appeared to. make an impression on the committee. “I saw an attendant there,” she said, “wallop a boy with a piece of lumber. The boy was about.twelve years old and he was knocked flat. I saw another boy whose hand had been beat up so he couldn’t wiggle his fingers.” Women Applaud Mrs. Shepard. “You have a good deal of trouble managing your children, don’t you?” queried Supt. Whittier. “Why, yes,” reluctantly admitted Mrs. Shepard, who quickly added “but so do all parents.” “You have a girl at the training school now, haven’t you?” persisted Mr. Whittier. “Yes, sir, I have,” responded Mrs. Shepard in a rising tone, “and they treat her fine.” This remark caused a brisk' out- burst of applause in the senate cham- bel:, the handclapping being lead by the women present. “I am glad of that,” was Mr. Whit- tier’s comment. Frank Kartosh, a St. Paul book- being a hard working youth, and who declared he had personal experience with the flogging machine, was the next witness. “I was whipped one night for talk- ink in line on the way to bed. Smith licked me with a tug. This whip- ping took place in the presence of all the boys, 65 or 70. I bore the marks of this for three days. Whipped for Taking Drink, He Says. “I.was whipped again for taking a drink in the wash room which was against the rules. to roll up my sleeves and let them beat me on the hands and arms. I never saw the whipping machine af- ter the fire just before the Fourth of July in 1905, but after that they had a barrel fixed up for the same pur- pose in the root cellar.” | “In the rathskeller?” queried Sen- ator Sullivan with incredulity. “I said the root cellar,” corrected the witness, and the senator joined in the laugh which followed. Getting back to the solemn facts of his astonishing tale, the witness continued: “I saw Ward, the military instruct- or, pick up a fourteen year old boy by the nap of the neck and the seat of the pants and hurl him to the ground face downward.” “Who was that boy?” broke in Mr. Whittier. “Jacob Hollingworth,” quick answer. Former Member of Board of Control Testifies. Kartosh gave up the witness seat amid an impressive silence and the name of James A. Martin, better known as Jim, for a long time prac- ticed law in St. Cloud but he is now practicing his profession in this city. He is a former member of the board of control and because of this and because of his high standing, what he said counted heavily with the com- lmittee. It was during his testimony that Superintendent Whittier admit- ted for the first time the existance of a whipping contrivance and that cor- { poral punishment is inflicted. |« resigned from the board of con- ‘trol,”” said Mr. Martin, “in 1904. My first knowledge of a whipping con- trivance came from the officers of the school, and I must'admit that it gave me quite a shock. I was informed by the superintendent that whippings were only administered when he so authorized. -3 He admitted "that Mr. Whittier had never shown any tendency to conceal any of the facts concerning the school, and that the excuse for whipping was that it was necessary for the dicipline of the school. Mr. Whittier called Mr. Martin’s atten- tion to a crude sketch of a spanking machine presented to the committee by Mr. Stephens. The picture indi- cates that chains are attached to pulleys. Sketch of “Machine” Approximately Correct. “Did you see any chains or pulleys, when you viewed the . machine?” asked Mr. Whittier. “No, but otherwise the sketch is substantially correct,” replied Mr. Martin. “I was not favorably Again I was made came ihe im- pressed with the machine and had I not been assured that as soon as the new guard ‘was erected whipping would be done away with, I should have made a pretty strenuous kick.” —v (Continued Tomorrow.) | binder, and who bears evidence of | COST ABOUT 83 Chicago’s l"irstI’l"imary'lilec:.= ~tion Expensive. TOTAL REACHES $69%,500 Of This Amount the Candidates Spent| - $534,000 and the Balance Was the Cost of the Election to the City. Charles E. Merriam Wins the Re. publican Nomination and .Carter H. Harrison the Democratic. - Chicago, March 2.—Three dollar bills were spent for every ballot cast in ‘Chicago’s first municipal primary. The enormous sum of $696,500 was spent by the organizations of the va- rious candidates for office and by the city to get out and then care for the vote. This figure is conservative, in the opinion of many prominent politi- cians who took part in the struggle. Charles E. Merriam was nominated for mayor by the Republicans and Carter H. Harrison by the Democrats. Never before in’ the history of the city has so much money been spent in a primary. The campaign barrels broke all records for size and every one was“emptied long before the polls had closed. The big share of the money spent came out of the candidates’ barrels, but the city of Chicago spent about 50 cents of each $3. This is where the money went: Spent by the City.

New York, March 2—A big squad of New York detectives is searching for some trace of a wagonload of ex. press parcels which disappeared on the way to a Jersey City terminal. The wagon was piled high with packages containing more than $10.- 000 worth of goods destined for varl. ous Western points. The wagon left the express depot late in the afternoon and five' hours later was picked up, empty and driv- erless, at a street corner several miles away. The express company believes that the driver was the victim of foul play. TRUCE IN POSTAGE FIGHT President Suggests Further Study of Proposed Increased Rates. Washington, March 2.—President Taft has suggested to Senator Pen- Tose as a solution of the fight over the proposed increase of postage on the advertising sections of magazines that the provision in the postoffice ap- propriation bill fixing the increase be cut out and that there be substituted therefor a provision creating a com- mission for further study of the prob- lem. Representatives of the magazines, who called on the president, received this proposal with approval and called on . Senator Penrose to urge him te accept it.

The young woman was almost in- stantly killed and her mother and the young man were thrown many feet. The horse was killed outright and the buggy splintered.

The sen- ate, howev'qr; -presents a record of much talk and little action. In thirty-five legislative. days the house has, not only disposed of' the fifteen appropriation bills, aggregating about $690,000,000, but also the fa llow- ing bills: 2 Canadian reciprocity. Permanent tariff board, Apportionment” of representatives for the next house (the Crumpacker bill, fixing the membership at 433 in- stead of 391, as at present). ‘Selecting San Francisco as the site for the Panama-Pacific expositiom of 1915.

The first two of these were a. part of the legislative programme urged by President Taft. The executive’s plea for a ship subsidy, or ocean mal bill, was disregarded. ’ v Among the thousands of . other measures that will die with the ses- sion are the reports of the joint com- mittee which investigated the Ballin- ger-Pinchot’ controversy and the reso- lution to ‘give congressional thanks and the rank of a retired rear admiral to Captain Robert E.
