W. ;. HUFF, who represented Lump
Kin County in the Legislature in 1907
and 1908, is seeking a pardon from
the penitentiary, where he is serving
two years for larceny after trust.
Governor Slaton. who was a col
league of Huff in the House, will have
the plea for executive clemency be-
fore him soon. The Prison Commits
sion has the petition under consider
alton. Huff has served one year and
the Judge who sentenced him has
written to Governor Slaton saying he
believes the man deserves q par
don.
HUFF became involved in financial
difficulties a few years ago when sew
eral of his investments went wrong.
The accusations against him came
as the result of his sale of a drcdge
boat for other persons. It was charg-
cd he converted the money to his own
use.

BRUTAL TREATMENT
IN GERMAN ARMY
Soldiers Terribly Abused,
Officers Escaping with
Light Punishment.
fRv cahle 10 10 rrihune ]

Berlin, April 1s-There is no question
that the real cause OF the great exodus
Of German soldiers 10 the French foreign
legion in Algeria is brutality at the hands
OF their officers. Cases OF Ill treatment
have come to light in the last three or
four weeks, but they do not show ade-
quately what the real number Is. Many
soldiers, In Prussian fashion, would
rather suffer in silence than denounce
their chiefs, and many instances OF such
denuncations have been husheo up by
the local military authorities.
In some instances Of I'll treatment the
German papers do not help in revealing
an account which is known publicly. For
instance, General Boess who Is garrl-
soned in Neiss, Sesa, wakes his sol
dlers either by throwing a bucket OF cold
water over them or by horsewhipplng
Major Petrol, OF the 4Sth Artillery ReSi-
ment in Saxony, was punished with -FOUR
teen days arrest in his quarters for i'll
treating an orderly. Captain Derichs is
sued for abuse OF authority. The military
prosecutor asks punishment of forty
three days in prison, but the officer gets
FIVE days arrest in his quarters. Captain
voss. OF the SSth Prussian Infantry, who
grossly insults recruits, gets four weeks
arrest in his quarters. Captain koehler.
OF the 176th Prussian Infantry, is sued
for 1O7 cases OF i'll treatment; Lieutenant
Won Kathex, Of the Guard Grenadiers,
who beats soldiers and insults them, gets
four weeks room arrest.
With non commissioned officers the con-
dltions are much worse. Sometimes the
abuse OF authority is Of the most terrible
form. Sergeant Schyr1bsn, who knocks
down one man. beating him with a chair,
gets five days simple arrest, the court
finding the offence not actually I'll treat
ment, but simply incorrect treatment
Sergeant Renner. of the Breslau Cuiras-
siers, beats one man and causes him TO
become deaf on-Commissioned Officer
Krall. OF the Wurtemberg Uhlans beats
a consumptlve soldier with the butt OF
his gun until he spits blood. The sol
der died before a lawsuit could be
brought, and doctors admit that death
was fastened by III treatment. Krall got
fourteen days arrest
The state Of affairs is even acknowl-
edged by many non-military papers, in
GLIDING the "Boersen Courier which is
liberal and very moderate. as are most OF
the financial papers Of Germany. The
paper writes: who knows all that takes
place in the barracks? We only hear
something when a suicide or a lawsuit
enables public opinion 10 discover the
abuse. In the greater number Of cases
unfortunate soldiers are much too scared
and beaten 70 dare to speak"
