amendments adopted at the last
city election.
In one amendment, relating to
the election Of councilmen at large,
II is provided that the council
elected at the May election, 1909,
shall hold their office for two
years. This Is taken to mean that
the recall provision of the city

PARIS, Sept. 23.-The Spanish

of the Riff tribesmen and are In
full retreat toward Melilla, accord
ing to reports reaching the French
war office here today.
For the past few days the Span
iards had been victorious, three
times defeating the Riffiats in
pitched battle, In which hundreds
were slain. The tide turned before
sunrise today, when the tribesmen
charged, surprised and over
whelmed the Spaniards. There was
q concerted attack along six miles
of Spanish bayOnets.
Two hours of desperate fighting
followed, and then the Spaniards
began slowly to retreat. The tribes
men probably will recapture their
mounted guns overlooking Melilla,
and will be able to inflict the hor-
rors of a siege upon the garrison
again.

Few criminals want to reform
and those who do can always find
friends who will help them to do
so in the police departments the
country over. They must change
their tactics and their conduct
must be such as to place them
above suspicion. They must be
honest all the way through, and
be careful with whom they asso-
ciate. They will always find
plenty Of assistance In making
good, right with the officers who
may have caused them to be sent
to the penitentiary. Chief of Po-
lice John T. Sullivan.
Prisoners and ex-convicts must
be ruled by fear in order to make
better men Of them. There are SO
few of them who really wish to be-
come better men, after serving
time in a felon's cell. that the POI
lice must be suspicious of them.
It is their business to keep track
of them, and though this Is oftimes
overdone, the policeman is in duty
bound to the public to watch the
ex-convicts and to keep them in
fear. There are few criminals who
can be coaxed into being better. In
order to straighten them up you
must stamp a fear into their
hearts, by compelling them to dc
right. Police Inspector w. H.

MEANEST MAN BLOWS BACK
TO HIS HARDWORK|NG WIFE
Sam Huth, Said to Be Human, Steals Money His Wife

The meanest man in Hammond has
been arrested. His name is Sam Huth.
He is the fellow who married for a
home. His dIsinIinRtion to work got
the best of him In his early days, but
instead of going out and being a man
" tramp and picking up a living out
of garbage boxes and from back doors
he just married willing woman.
In the course of time a family was

did not worry his lazy bones about
that. he simply insisted that the chill
dren be put to work as soon as possi-
BILE so that his declining years could
be spent in comfort.
His wife and his eldest daughter
found their husband and father their
only luxury. He was an expensive
one at that. However, after Mrs. Huth
gave birth to her last baby she was
incapacitated for work.
Things went from bad to worse in
the Huth family. Mr.. HUH found that

who has not been in good health since
the election, when he was brought to
the verge Of a collapse by the strain
of the campaign, went to the Alexian
Bros hospital on the north side, Chi
cago, this afternoon, where he will be
compelled to remain for three or four
weeks until the disease has run its
course.
Mr.. Schaaf is under the care of DR.. o.
l. Smith, one of the best specialists in
Chicago in such diseases, and while
his relatives and friends do not have
any apprehension as to the final out
come of the case they are all solicitous
as to Mr.. Schaaf's health.
Mr.. Schaaf was taken with high
fever today and the fact that he would
have a run of the disease became ap-
parent then. Ever since the election
he has been run down and was unable
to discover what was the matter with
himself Mr.. Schaaf has the sympathy
and well wishes of a host of friends.

Finally when the grub began to run
short and Sam Huth found that the
nest his wife was feathering was not
as warm as it might be and he de-
cided to run away.
Although he had never saved a cent
in his life he went to the bank and
drew out the earnings which his wife
had placed there and left the city. He
spent the money in having a hilarious
time and when he began to run short
he returned to Hammond
His wife was waiting for him with
a little of the retaliation that should
have been used long ago. She swore

WANT OLD CLOTHES
Hammond Police Issue an
Emergency Call for
CASTOR Garments.

The Hammond police have issued an
emergency call for old clothes. They
had large pile of them in the city
court room, but the demands for them
have been so great that the supply
is about exhausted.
This morning a woman, whose hus-
band was killed on the railroad and
who was left with a baby and seven
other little children, called at the po-
lice station as a last resort and asked
that she and some of her little girls
be given an outfit.
The police told them to take any
thing that they could use. 1t hap
pened that there were several garments
that were in good condition and which
she found available to her uses. She
went away happy.
The police say there is a great need
for clothes for little girls and Ham
mond people who have discarded
clothes suitable for little girls or for
anyone, for that matter. will be doing
a charitable act by sending them to
the station.
1t is expected that the cold weather
of the next few days will cause great
suffering in Hammond.

ATTRACTING ATTENTION
Passion Play Pictures at the
Princess Theater Are
Unusually Fine.

The Passion Play pictures, which are
being shown in the Princess theater in
this city, are attracting a great deal of
attention. They are unusually fine and
are the work Of Pathe, the great French
moving picture manufacturers.
The first series, which was shown
Monday, was splendid and those shown
yesterday were even better, but it is
understood that the pictures that will
be shown today are the most interest
ing of all.
There was a matinee this afternoon
and there will be an entertainment this
evening. This attraction is probably
one of the most expensive in the NOV

Those who have seen the pictures say
they are beautiful and areswelf wof Il
