CAPT. HANLO DOES
CLEVER SLEUTHING
Chicago Man Is Arrested
and Confesses That He Is
Selling Stolen Goods.

Shortly after he had tried to dispose
of some stolen goods to a street car
conductor. Albert Huth, 2104 Lincoln
avenue. Chicago, was arrested by Cap
tain Hanlon early yesterday morning
on suspicion.
After a thorough questioning by
Captain Rimbach and Chief Austgep
Huth admitted his guilt and told the
following story:
II came out to Hammond on the late
$3.50 car With some stolen goods which
Chicago. I had a room rented from
Mrs. A. Humboldt. 80 Plummer avenue,
where 1 intended staying over night,
and in the morning | was going to try
and dispose of the goood.
Captain Han1on happened to get on
the Chicago car shortly after Huth tried
TO sell a new knife to the street car
conductor. Captain Hanlon then sus-
pected Huth and placed him under ar
rest. At the station Huth was booked
and searched and the following ar
ticles were found on his person: A
new knife. fountain pen, ladies' hand
bag and one suit of new underwear.
! The Chicago police were then notified
and Sergeant B. F. Fachler of Chicago
toook Huth back to the city. Huths
! face is familiar to the Hammond po-
lice. but as yet they have been unable
! to tell where they have seen him before
1t is thought that Huth is mixed ur
with a gang of Chicago thieves.

SHR|NERS MAKE
HUNDREDS HAPPY

While all Chicago was talking of the
good fellow" movement in which thou
sands OF homes were made happy by
the generosity of the good fellows, the
news has just cropped out that Orak
Shrine, with its few hundreds of mem
bers proved to be the best good fellows
in the country last Chrisim mas.
Without the blare of trumpets, with
out an effort to make the shrine APP
pear to. be a philanthropic organiza-
tion. without an idea of letting the
general public know what was going
on The S.embers of Orak shrine gave
hundreds of children in northern Indi-
ana the happiest Christmas of their
lives
The good fellow movement inaugur-
ated in Hammond was carried on in
Hammond, Gary. South Bend East
Chicago, Indiana Harbor, Whiting and
a dozen smaller places.
Buy in Quantities.
Business methods were applied to
the purchase of toys and candies and
they were bought in large quantities
The distribution of them was planned
in the most systematic manner Re-
markably large territory was covered.
Over 500 pounds of candy was pur-
chased. the list of gifts included 15s
dolls, two barrels of apples. two cases
OF oranges, 2s0 table croquet games.
500 picture and A. B. c. books. 500
mouth organs. 40 drums and scores OF
other smaller toys
The manner of distribution was
unique. The teachers of the public
schools furnished the names of the
lchildren in their rooms who would be
the least likely to have a merry Christ
mas.
The spirit of Willingness that was
manifested by the teachers and the in
innate knowledge that they had of the
real conditions in the homes of the
children was of unestimable value il
making a wise distribution of tht
toys. The fullest CO. cooperation witt
them was secured.

THIS PAPER HELPS
The TEACHER

THE public schoolteacher
that does not read the pa
pers fails in an important
particular to fit himself or herself
to instruct the young.
EDUCATION is NOT ALL GAIN
ED FROM BOOKS. MOST OF 1T
is GAINED FROM LIFE, AND
NEWSPAPERS ARE THE MIRRORS
OF LIFE.
Not only should teachers read
the papers, but pupils should be
caused to do so. In the case of
the children little persuasion Is
needed. They are so eager to
learn that they read every paper
they get their hands on.
MANY SCHOOLS HAVE
CLASSES IN RREN L
EVENTS. The pupils are re-
quired to tell or write the chief
happenings of the day. 1t Is an
invaluable training.

santa Had an Auto.

The distribution in Hammond was
mstie by means of six automobiles. The
teachers in the schools had given the
first names of every boy and girl that
Santa Claus was to visit.
When an automobile stopped in front
of home in the Standard Steel Car
district. for instance. the question that
was asked was: Are Mike and Mary
a homer" The children came tirnidly
out of the back rooms of their homes
and We're surprised, dumb founded and
delighted when they discovered that
Santa Claus is a reality after all.
An idea of the territory that was
covered by the good fellows of the
shrine may be had from the fact that
in Hammond 243 children were made
happy, in Gary So. South Bend 61. Whit
ing 81 East Chicago 63 and Indiana
Harbor 20. to say nothing of the toys
that were left at the settlement house
in Hammond.
In each city in which the distribution
of toys and goodies was made COM
mittee of shriners had charge Of the
work. Most of the homes were visited
in the night time.

An idea of the secrecy that prevailed
may be had from the fact that IN spite
of the activity that resulted from this
distribution the facts only came to
light today, and then by accident. 1t
was only after constant importula-
tions that the real truth was learned
from the members and then they posi-
lively refused TO permit their names to
be used in connection with the story.
If the journalistic human interest
artist had been permitted to make the
trip when these northern Indiana good
fellows played Santa Claus he would
have been able to secure wealth of
material for good stories.
