MUST GO BACK TO PEN Sheriff Smith Finds That Charles Hunt Is Out of Pricon on a Parole. Since a revolver was found concealed on the person of Charles Hunt, at the county jail last week, Sheriff Smith has been busy looking up the record of this man anj finds that he has served two terms in prison and is now out op parole from Michigan City. He was sent up from Carroll County six years ago on an indeterminate sentence of from one to fourteen years and was released some time ago. He will not have to go back to prison and serve the remainder of his term of eight years more. He was arrested here for improper relations and given a long sentence in the county jail. He has served in the prison both times for horse stealing. JOHN LOCKE IS STILL AT LARGE Authorities Have as Yet Secured No Trace of Cunning Jail Breaker. LOYAL WIFE IS HAPPY SHE DENIES THAT SHE HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH HIS GET-A WAY HAS GONE TO HAGERSTOWN FOR PRESENT. John Locke, whose shrewdness and darins have been demonstrated several times but never more forcibly than yesterday morning when he escaped from the Wayne County Jail, is still at large, and aside from making a few investigations, the authorities have not tried to locate him. Locke made good his escape and is now probably many miles away from the scene of his alleged depredations. Escaping at an early hour, from what was supposed to be one of the strongest county jails in Indiana, Locke but added another sensation to his already long string of successful coups. He left behind absolutely no clues as to where he could be located and the authorities are at a complete loss when it comes to instituting a search for him. A small personal reward has been offered by the sheriff for the arrest of Locke. No Ordinary Criminal. That Locke is no ordianry criminal has been indicated several times by his de?ds of daring and his clever execution of carefully planned escapes, but his escape from the city jail five years ago and his celebrated "gun play" and escape from a sheriff's posse near Hagorstown about a year ago. have been completely over-shadowed by the escape of yesterday. Not one prisoner in ten thousand would have planned such a daring attempt at freedom ; not one in twice that number could have executed it with such cunning. There can be no longer any question but that Locke was given aid from the outside. Tools of the variety that. the (Continued on Page Four.) George Cunningham Here.

WAS BUT SLIGHT ALARM

MAYOR SCHMITZ IN PUBLIC APPEAL, ASKS THAT MORE CLOTHING AND SUPPLIES BE SENT TO THE CITY. Publishers' Press San Francisco .April 30. Two slight earthquake shocks, at an interval of an hour were felt here early this morning. They were of the same nature as a dozen other shocks that have been felt since the big quake of April S. No damage was done this morning and there was no alarm. Mayor F. E. Schmitz, in a statement issued today, says: "San Francisco can use anything in the way of funds clothing or provisions. Send funds V) the Hon. James D. Phelan, chairman of the finance committee, all supplies to Maj. C. A. Davel, quartermaster, U .S. A., Presidio wharf, San Francisco." Charges of extravagance and waste in the distribution of supplies, resulted in orders by General Greely today establishing a new system for the caring for the 200,000 needy people. The unburned section of the city is divided into military dstricts, each subdivided into 100 relief stations. Officers designated in charge of these separate branches of the general system are: Major C. L. Dvol, transportation; Major C .R. Krauthoff, provding food supplies; Col. Gorge H. Torney, sanitation, and Colonel Heur, engineering problems. Responsible citizens will be placed in charge of each relief station, assisted by a paid staff. Daily inspections will be made and steps taken to correct abuses. General Greely's order Bays: "Extreme .istress for food has rssed, and at the earliest possible moment the issue of rations under must be confined to helpless women and children and refused to adult males unless they are dying or in feeble condition." Ureely said today: "A regular armj officer who saw about 400 men in the bread line offered them work at $2 a day. Four stepped out of the line and offered to accept. These were lusty beggars, who can not be supported by charity." Careful estimates have it that no less than 7,000 tons of food had been distributed freely in ten days, the daily free distributions amounting to 1,400,000 pounds. At 10 cents a pound, this is costing $140,000 daily. These figures do not include clothing which is given away, no distribution by regular army patrols in Chinatown and the sections of the city where many pawnshops have great -JifficuUy in keeping out looters. Soldiers are forbidden to shoot these petty thieves. MAY DAY DAWNS OH ARMED CAMP French Soldiers Occupy Every Important Position in City of Paris. BOMBS ARE BEING USED EIGHT FOREIGN ANARCHISTS HAVE BEEN ARRESTED AND FRANCE IS DOING HER BEST TO CONQUER REVOLTIONISTS. Publishers' Press Paris, May 1.

What the outcome of the day Is to be no one can forecast The first outbreak of tho present trouble in the city took place last night, when a man in the uniform of a French infantry officer, took the platfoni at a mass meetia of union inen ?n the principal busino3.? district, and made a most vioittnt anarchistic Lppech.

The man was later identified as Tissarand De Lange a captain of infantry, and "Is being held at police headquarters . Two bombs, the fuses of which were still .smoking, were picked "up outside of the Notre Dame cafe, and up to the present' time eight foreign anarchists have been arrested.

Spitting on sidewalks, in public conveyances or in public places is liable to communicate disease. Do not spit." The reverse side of the card bears the city ordinance concerning the offense.

The improvement will cost from 130,000 to $45,000 and the city's share will bo 40 per cent, of the cost, or from $12,000 to $20,000. If possible, the work will be completed this summer.
