FIGHTER GETS
FINE OF SIS
Ole Helle Pleads Guilty to
Charge Of Assault sl and
Battery.

Ole Helle this morning appeared
before Police Magistrate r. J.. Pur-
cell charged with having committed
assault. and battery against Nels II.
Hansen, a farmer living near Thonp-
son. Helle offered no defense OF any
kind. but pleaded guilty and, receiv-
ing the alternative Of paying $25 fine
or spending 80 days in the county
jail, chose the former.
Early Sunday morning MI. Hansen
had come to q South Fourth street
rooming house where he usually
stops when in the city. In accord
ance with an understanding with the
landlady. he went to the room gen.
orally assigned him and there found
Helle in one of the two beds which
the room contained. In spite Of the
fact that it is claimed Hansen sat
quietly down on his own bed, Helle
jumped out Of his, attacking Hansen
from behind and inflicting some pref
ty sever bruises on his face and
shoulder.
The police were called in, arrests
made, and this morning the affair
settled in the police court. Judge
Purcell considered the attack an un-
usually vicious one and therefore i'm
posed the fine Of $25 on the as
saulter. <
1t is possible that the complainant
in this mornings case will decide to
start civil action in an effort to re-
cover the damages.
Mr.. Hansen was in the court today,
his head more or less bandaged.

Chicago. Oct. 14.-Legislation for

be sought during the coming year by
the American Humane society, which
has Just concluded its annual con-
vention here.
: "1llegtmacy," said W. o. stiilman,

~ an increasing factor in social de-
velopment. The war has brought in
to being a generation Of little ones
"Illegitimate children have acquir.
ed comparatively few rights since
the day that Hasari and 1shmael
were turned out to wander in the des-
ert of Beersheba," said Eugene Nor
gan of Columbus. Ohio.
Here is the program the society
proposed for the redemption Of war
babies: ,,
Make it impossible for the putative
father to escape with a light fine.
Give the child, the fathers name
and an equal share In inheritance.
Give the child equal education
rights.
Add no punishment to the sin Of
the mother.
Treat the putative father, II he
shows a determined inclination to
escape all the consequences, as a

England and France now are at
work solving the question Of illegiti-
mate children and the same question
will be one Of the important phases
of reconstruction In America, accord
ing to officers Of the organization.
While carrying on the fight In be-
half of war babies, the society. will
not slacken it's efforts toward the well
fare Of the horse, the dog and other
animals.
The horse is not Obsolete said
Mr.. Stillman, "and 1t has been. dem

as necessary to carry on the opera

years ago.. Attacks would fail and

organized a department known as the

(Biddeford JournaD

1t may be assumed that con-
sistency is not always to be expected
in all the government war activi-
ties. Here's A case in point: Some
months ago an official Of the govern
ment called upon the editor of the
journal and asked him to take par
tic,lar care that no reference be
made in the columns of the jour
nal TO work on government con-
tracts by any of our local indus
trial plants. the idea being that
such reference would be gratuitcus
information to alien enemies who
might aspire to destroy or dam
age plants thus engaged. The
Journal, IS well as most other Maine
papers, has been careful, to comply
with this very reasonable request.
And now the Official Bulletin. the Of
fetal organ of the Committee on
Public Information, is publishing a
list Of concerns in the United States
that have taken contracts for war
supplies. It may be that we have
our alien enemies so we'll under con-
troll that there is now no danger
that they will take unfair advantage
Of this information, but even so it
would have been only fair to release
