Novel Plan Is Adopted by IA South
Dakota Judge.

Sioux Falls. Feb. 19.-Judge
Walsh, of the Lead municipal court,
has adopted a unique plan for effect
ing reconciliations between estranged
husbands and wives which is proving
very successful. The latest case Of
the kind to come before him was that
in which Mrs. Mary Sercely appeared
before Judge Walsh and made com
plant against her husband, Anton
Sercely. on the charge of assault and
battery. Judge Walsh, following his
plan, diu not have the husband tried
on the charge against him, but in
stead gave the couple a period of
three weeks in which to adjust their
differences, intimating that at the
end of that time If they have not
agreed TO live amicably together in
the future he will do some fixing for
them. 1t is believed that the three
weeks probation period will result
in the couple being %reconciled.

FOOD RIOTS AT THE HAGUE
Workmen Demonstrate Against High
Cost of Living.

The Hague. Feb. 17.-Rioting in
which the crowds were only dispersed
after repeated charges by police and
hussars, hurriedly called upon for re
Inducements, occurred here.
The rioters. mostly workmen, staged
their demonstration as a protest
against the high cost of food.
They occupied the space in front OF
the queens palace and the ministerial
building.
The food situation is regarded as
having reached an acute stage in Hol
land. Small salaried workers find il
almost impossible to obtain coal and
potatoes. Discomfort has been grow
ing and authorities do not disguise
their fear of further outbreaks OF
probably an even more serious ma
lure unless the government takes
some remedial measures at once.
