Madrid, Dec. 20.-Moorish tribes
men were routed with heavy loss by
the Spanish troops at Muley Abselam.
Spanish Morocco, Thursday.
Spanish military aviators threw the
Moors into disorder with showers of
bombs.
The Spaniards attacked the Moors
with brigade of sharpshooters, bat
talon of infantry, four batteries of ar
tillery and large body Of native aux
iliaries. When the order for the gen.
eral advance Of the Spanish column
was given the advance guard discov-
cred several thousand Moorish noun
taineers concealed in the irregularities
of the ground. A flotilla of military
aviators sent to reconnoiter, by means
Of flag signals guided the column Of
Spanish troops. A heavy artillery fire
was opened by the Spaniards without
effect.
The aviators then ascended to an
altitude out Of range of rife fire and
flew directly over the places where the
Moors were in the greatest numbers.
Then came what the dispatches to the
Spanish war office describes as a "ver-
liable rain of bombs, tossed by hand
by the aviators into the midst of the
Moors."
After this bombardment the Spanish
infantry charged with the bayonet and
dislodged the Moors from their posi-
tions, causing them to fee in great dis
order leaving large numbers of dead
and wounded on the field.

The governor will have a good deal
to do with the length of the session
by virtue of this constitution limita-
ton placed upon the assembly. The
legislators won't be able to touch any
subject that is not specifically sug-
gested to them by the executive. The
latter in many senses will hold the
reins over the legislative branch.
That branch need not heed his de-
mands, of course, but at the same time
1t can't take the bit in its teeth and
run away" A flood of legislation
can be prevented by the Governor.

Gives Miners the Decision.

Fifty thousand organized coal min.
ers OF Ohio are given the decision over
their employers, the coal operators, by
the state mining commission, which
has filed its report with Gov. Cox.
Despite the vigorous claims of the op-
orators that a change in the present
screen basis of paying miners will
result in disaster to the mining in
dustry in this state, the commission
recommends the enactment of law
requiring payment on the run OF the
mine" basis. The commission also
makes several recommendations for
legislation to reduce the increasing
number of mine accidents and to con-
serve the mining resources of the
state. Gov. Cox will ask the general
assembly to enact measures in line
with the commissions recommends
tions at the special session he will
convene on Jan. 10. Several operators
say that because of the increased cost
OF coal mining resulting from the pro-
posed change in wage basis and the
wiping out OF the present narrow
margin Of profit, they will be forced
out of business. Should the assembly
enact the proposed legislation, the op-
orators will demand big reductions in
the wage scale to meet losses they say
will result from the run of the mine
system.

To Help Criminals.

In an effort to arouse interest among
prisoners Chaplain Reed of the Ohio
penitentiary had several thousand book
catalogues printed recently in the
prison printing shop in which is listed
every volume or publication contained
IN the library Of the state prison. In
this catalogue the chaplain urges the
reading of books. He is of opinion
that reading good books Is the most
profitable way any man can spend his
spare time and encourages the inmates
OF the penitentiary to read as many
books as they possibly can.
Each prisoner received a copy Of the
list of books now to be secured in the
library, and as each man has a library
card he may draw two and possibly
three books each week. At the pres
ent time many thousand volumes are
filed on the shelves in the library, but
this number is being constantly aug.
mented by the arrival Of late publica-
tlons and gifts from book lovers, who
often find they had a duplicate copy
that they have no use for. Chaplain
Reed will make special efforts to put
at least 1000 books into prison circu,
lation each week. At present only
about 500 are exchanged

PAYS BUCKEYE
STATE $4,000
Commercial National Bank of
Columbus Settles.
SAVES EXPENSE OF LAWSUIT
Sum ls the Interest on Public Funds
Deposited Contrary to the
Law by Former Treas
urers of Ohio.
D. A. DONOVAN,
Special Columbus Correspondent.
CnIumhus Ohio

Special Columbus Correspondent.
Columbus, Ohio.
THE Commercial National bank
OF Columbus has agreed to
make settlement to the state in
the sum Of $55,000 as interest
on public funds deposited contrary to
law by former state treasurers.
This Is the largest sum thus far
paid by any bank against which the
state has made claim for interest on
funds alleged to have been used lille
gally. The claim against the bank
was made by Attorney General Hogan,
who Immediately after he entered upon
the duties of his office began a cam
paign to force banks which used public
funds on which no interest had been
paid the state, to reimburse the state.
The Commercial bank settled rather
than submit to lawsuit. 1t will pay
$4,000 in cash, and the remaining
$4,000 in quarterly installments. One
year Will be taken in which to wipe
out the claim. Because of the banks
willingness to settle without a suit,
state, the rate Of interest was fixed at
3 per cent In the case of the defunct
Columbus Savings & Trust Co., which
resisted the states claim for interest,
the state exacted Az per cent interest,
which was allowed by the court. The
Commercial National bank claimed
that 1t was not under any obligation
to pay for the use of the moneys
which were deposited with It by
former state treasurers, setting forth |
that for many years it was one of the |
principal agencies through which |
checks, drafts and orders were col |
lected for the state The banks at
torney made this statement about the
settlement: ITO avoid the risk Of the
states claim being sustained as tech
nically sound and to save the expense
and annoyance Of protracted litigation,
the bank has agreed to pay the sum
of $55, ,OO0."

Seek Redress.

Baked in their effort to have the
county license board permit the open
saloon on Sunday, certain Cincin-
natians are going to appeal to the in
itiative and referendum for redress.
They have started movement to cir
culate petitions for a law amending
the present Sunday law so that saloons
can be kept open at least during GER
tain hours of the Sabbath. This can't
be realized now for the reason that the
state laws command saloons to close
during all of Sunday, and the license
commissions are insisting that the
letter of the law be obeyed.
