OHIO ENROLLMENT HELDJJEXT MOUTH All Healthy Males Between 18 and 45 Are Liable for Service.

Columbus, O., March 13. With reference to the concentration of the United iitutes army and navy near the Mexican border and the certainty with which those in authority look forward to an order to recruit the Ohio National Guard up to war strength and send it south, the fact, that all male citizens between 18 and 45 years of age are to be enrolled this year as reserve militia is regarded with a great deal of interest In state official circles. Tho luw which requires that this listing be made each five years beginning in 1911. was embodied in the Ohio Code passed by tho last general assembly and is perfectly valid. It provides, In short, that all healthy males between 18 and 45 shall be enrolled by the township and municipal assessors and cert lied by them to the auditor of the county. He shall be forced to forward the lists to the adjutant general of the state and all persons so listed shall be available at all times for military service. Treated as Deserters. They are also subject to draft by the governor, and in case of failure to answer the drafting proclamation or to furnish a substitute any one so listed is guilty of desertion from the United States army and subject to punishment accorded to deserters. The law went into effect in 1881 and was a part of the old Ohio statutes, but so far as can be learned was never made effective and no such list has ever been tiled in the adjutant general's office so far as can be discovered from the records. The present law as embodied in the new code, however, is very plain and says that the enrollment shall be made in 1911 and every five years thereafter and it must be enforced unless Governor Harmon suspends it, as he has the power to do under Section 5185, which also gives him the power to call for such enrollment at any time. Law Still in Force. The governor has never suspended the law with regard to enrolling names for reserve militia, and if it has not been enforced it has been because the existence of the statute was known to only a few persons and was practically ignored by them. The assessors of the township, ward and precinct districts will probably start upon their work about the first of April, and then it remains to be seen whether they will proceed with the compilation of the lists or whether Governor Harmon will suspend the law.

DIVORCE FOLLOWS SPIT FOR DAMAGE Saturday, Marital Troubles in Wilson Smith's Family Were Ended. The revolutionary atmosphere in

tlie homo of Wilson Smith and family j of Cambridge City, was settled by ar-i bitration Saturday morning in the' Wayne circuit court, when Emma V.J Smith was granted a divorce from her! warlike husband and also given custody of the children and alimony in the sum of $s every two weeks for the children's support. When she and tae children were not satisfied with Smith's actions the complainant alleged, he would notify them he would put an end to their existence and, she declared, he displayed a revolver to emphasize his remarks. Of course, she said, she did not allow him to abuse them without answering him back, but on the whole she did not believe she ' was responsible for the family troubles. "That is none of her business what his business was," was the w-ay she alleged he would answer her question as to what he wa3 going to do up town on Sunday afternoons and evenings during'the week. She said that when she wanted him to remain at home he would reply that he had business elsewhere, lie would tell her to leave the homo if she did not like it and when she would get ready to go, he would not permit her to do so. These conditions existed for eight years, the plaintiff said. Her money, she said, was expended in medical treatment of one of the children, who had symptoms of tuberculosis, the total expenditure a week, for at least a part of the time, being dose to $23. Mrs. Smith several months ago received damages from the Terre Haute, Indianapolis and Eastern Traction company for personal injuries. Her husband also filed suit for damages, al-; leging that the injuries his wife received prevented her of being of ser vice to him and tho family. It is understood his claim against the com pany was compromised. City Statistics Deaths and Funerals. LICHTENFELS Andrew T.

IF EVER ME" SUNG At Banquet Held by Women Teachers of County at Westcott Today. Spring and early summer fashions were displayed in abundance Saturday afternoon at the AVestcott hotel,! where the members of the Wayne county women teachers' club held their annual banquet. ! Ostensibly the teachers met for a social time and also to hear the address of Miss- Margaret A. Haley of Chicago, the suffragette in the National Educational association, who in her fight to place the women on equal- ( ity with the men teachers, won a notable victory and succeeded in plac-. ins Mrs. Ella Flagg Young, superin-1 tendent of the Chicago public schools, 1 at the head of the national assocla-1 tion. She herself was elected to the position of business manager. Her subject was in keeping with her fight to improve the rendition of women teachers. She believes women are just as efficient and capable in the higher positions of educational organizations a3 men. The meeting was held in the dining! parlors. A special menu was prepared j for the banquet, which began at 1 o'clock. A musical program of several numbers was rendered, including vocal selections. Miss Ruth Harris singing the "Swing Song," and "If No j One Ever Marries Me;" Miss Huldah i Kelney rendering "In Dublin's Fair City," and "Little Irish Girl;" Mrs. Grace Gormon rendering "The Japan-; es Maidens" and "Sweet Miss Mary." In conclusion the members elected officers for the ensuing year. Miss Augusta Merring, teacher in the Indianapolis Manual Training high school, the first president of the club, was present, as was also Mrs. Mary Stewart, the former president. Miss Ada Woodward has been president during the past year. A HUMAN BEEHIVE Suggest Tenements Be Built Over Factories. Boston, March 18. In order to improve the conditions for hpusing factory operatives, which have been the subject of much adverse comment, J. Randolph Coolige, a Boston architect, has suggested the novel plan of building the homes of the workmen in tenements directly over the factory itself. "The suggestion for having tenements built over factories," Mr. Coolidge says, "although it has many disadvantages would make it possible for the men and women who furnish cheap factory labor to get sufficient light and air. ' The plan could be used where the factories are of two stories, as in cotton weaving sheds. It would give the operatives the great advantage of being near their work, which is of great value. . Such an arrangement would do away with the problem of transporting men and women to and from their places of work, which is a waste of time and expense. "One of the drawbacks to the tenement of the present day is. the lack of light and of proper ventilation. "Under the factory tenement plan system this drawback would be obviated to a great extent. On account of its light the dwelling of the workman would be as well ventilated and as adequately lighted as could be desired, even though it should be in the heart of the city." The Bournville village trust, a model plot of factory tenements near Birmingham, England, has been suggested as an example which might be followed in this country to solve the congestion problem in Boston and in the larger cities of the country. In the Bournville village trust a factory is situated in one corner of the plot of land, and the remainder is filled with houses. Every one of them is a model tenement. Every one has its own garden, from which the most of the produce used by the family is raised. It has its own stores and churches and public buildings. The total consumption of beef and mutton in Great Britain in 1909 amounted to 1,990,000 tons, of which 595,OoO tons were imported in a frozen state. Showing an utter contempt for the brand new lock-up of Stratford, Conn., fifty tramps escaped from it while the judge was waiting for them to appear in court.

ROBBED RICH TO ASSIST THE POOR Like Robin Hood of Legendary, Supposed Philanthropist Is Thief.

Cincinnati, March 18. Anthony Gahl proprietor of a thriving confectionery at 306 Fifteenth street, generous giver to the poor, and highly respected in his neighborhood, was arrested by Detectives Bell and Schaefer as a "suspicious person," after a warrant charging petit larceny sworn to by Kate Haueht. of 729 Betts street, had been issued for him. The more indefinite charge was made against Gahl by the detectives, who believe they have an expert duplicate-key thief in the person of the confectioner, and wish to work up a number of cases against hfm. Detectives Calnan and Harnold are also working on the clearing up of a number of duplicate-key thefts which have been puzzling the police for many weeks, and Gahl, it is said, answers the description given of the man seen coming out of a number of the places robbed. Mrs. Ilaucht charges Gahl with en-' tering her home and stealing three rings, and says thaphe was seen leav ing the place by several persons who chased him into his own store. He denies this, saying he is the victim of a mistake. The man is highly connected in this city and suspiciou has never fallen on him before. When searched at police headquarters two watches were found on him and one of these the police say has been identified as having been stolen from the home of Mrs. Minnie Groancur, 1805 Central avenue, last November. A number of brilliants and garnets were also found in his possession. Detectives Calnan, Harnold, Bell and Schaefer went to Gahl's rooms and say they came upon a bunch of 50 keys, a broken savings bank key, a clock alleged to have been stblen from a woman living at MeMicken avenue and Vine street, and a wagon load of clothing, it is claimed, was identified by Mrs. Heinrichdorf, of 1730 Logan street, as part of goods stolen from her. Mrs. A. Sizinger, of 1316 Breman street, it is said, also identified Gahl as a man she saw running away from her apartments when she unexpectedly came home. Great indignation prevailed in Gahls neighborhood when it was learned that he had been aTrested. He has been a veritable "angel to the poor" in the vicinity where he resided. The man's heart was easily touched and he i paid for many a dinner and many a i pair of shoes for poverty stricken children.: In this the police liken him to Robin Hood, the tender-hearted crook of English lore. Pinched noses of children flattened against the show windows of his store and accompanied by longing eyes brought instant gifts from the windows to the hands of the child, it Is said, and then follew an investigation of their homes which always resulted in groceries, new clothes and the like being sent there. Two pawnbrokers called on Detective Chief Crawford and it said they identified the "philanthropist" as the man who sold them a quantity of melted gold under the names of "Miller" and Schmidt." He is quite the most benevolent-looking man ever jailed at central police station. TRIP COSTS $13 Kahn Family Sail to Attend Coronation New York, March 18. Otto H. Kahn and family and retinue sailed on the Mauretania occupying $11,000 worth of space on the great express Cunarder. More of the Kahn entourage will sail on the Coronia, including three automobiles and as many chaffeurs. Transporation charges on the Coronia will cost Mr. Kahn $2,000. In the banker's immediate party are Mrs. Kahn and maid, Miss Maud E. Kahn and maid, Miss Margaret D. Kahn, maid and governess; Gilbert Kahn and nurse. Mr. Kahn is attended by a valet. Mr. Kahn said he had leased Casaborg castle in Watford, London, for the coronation. After the coronation he and his family will tour Europe in their three automobiles. The banker said his vacation this year was purely a pleasure trip and that he expected to get home by August 1. Concerning the reports that the Metropolitan opera houBe had had a profitable season, Mr. Kahn said that he doubted if any profits would be shown. He hoped the company would break about even. "As for Caruso's voice," said director Kahn. "in my opinion he is more frightened than hurt." Miss Maxoine Elliott was a passenger on the Mauritania, also Miss Hetty Kelly, the young sister of the newMrs. Frank Gould, a beautiful girl about 17 years old. Miss Elliott said that she would retire from the stage for about two years. She felt that she needed a long rest. She will liTe in London for a year and then visit friends in India. Miss Hetty Kelly is going home and says that she much prefers Philadelphia to New York. Tin, rubber and cocoanuts are the basis of Malayan prosperity. The Malay states supply two-thirds of the tin used in the world. Exports of tin last year amounted to $40,563,985. By 1915 the Malay peninsula will have 300,000,000 acres of yielding Para rubber trees. A portable vacuum cleaner brought out in England, also may be used as a seat, table, cabinet, music stool or

EMPTY BARREL WAS HIS HOBBLE SKIRT x After Two Days, Burglar's Clothless Victim Started Out for Food.

Chicago, March IS. While dressmakers debated at the Palmer house that momentous question," Who Will J Wear the Harem Skirt, or Why Not?"j Otto German made a determined, iff brief, revival of the passe hobble skirt. German is not a dressmaker. In fact, he is a plumber. And it was only by an unhappy chance that he had to do with a hobble skirt. Furthermore, his hobble skirt was an unadorned barrel, and he wore it just long enough to run eight blocks from his home at Clybourn and North avenues to the nearest saloon. He announces his disapproval of the fashion as both unhandy and uncomfortable. Here is how German came to run eight blocks in the frosty air with nothing on but a barrel: Two days ago he awoke to find that burglars had stolen every stitch of clothing he possessed. He was compelled to iie in bed. Hunger overcame the qualms of modesty and German determined to sally forth, happen what might. Passers-by refused to answer his j signals. There was no one to aid him. But as he lay on his pallet he conceived a desperate scheme. He remembered a barrel at the foot of the stairs. He bethought himself of the saloon of Charles Meuthen. 1455 Clybourn avenue. The two figured together in his plan of escape. The hour for the sortie soon arrived. He dashed down the stairs, entered the barrel and then made a dash for the saloon. Bewildered passers-by saw him lumber past them in the gloom of the early morning, saw the bobbing of his barrel and the twinkling of his feet, and desperation in his eye. The effort won and he reach ed the saloon, clothes and food in safety. "I don't see how the women get about in those hobble things," he said last night. Unaware of German and his reintroduction of fashion considered dead, the dressmakers yesterday gravely discussed the "harem skirt," the "pasha skirt" and its newest rival, the "serpent skirt." Some said the new fads would "go," some said they wouldn't and some didn't know. BUSY BAKING BREAD At Fort Sam Houston for the United States Army. (American News Service) San Antonio, Tex., March 18. Baking tons of bread daily is now in progress at Fort Sam Houston where one-third of the United States army is mobilized. The division bakery on the maneuver grounds under the super vision of Captain L. R. Holbrook, turn ed out 5,000 loaves of bread yesterday with but four ovens in service. Eight ovens have been installed and when all are in operation, they will turn out 20,000 pounds of as fine quality of bread as can be baked in the United States each day. Captain Holbrook was ordered here from Fort Leavenworth where he was in comand of the bakers and cooks school there. He has eighty-seven men in his command and these are all busy making bread. Tons of flour are used every day and this is piled in great ricks covered with tarpaulin near the bakery. One of the most interesting sights on the maneuver grounds is this long line of ovens each turning out If teen batches of bread a day. The old days of the hard tack have passed for the soldiers while in camp and instead of the bread that had to be broken with a hammer, they get as good a quality as is served in any American home. MAY CHARGE FRAUD Indiana Importers Concerned in Coming Reports. Washington, March 18. When Eugene L. Weeks, special agent of the treasury department, whose district embraces the ports of Indianapolis, Evans ville, Paducah, Ky.,; Louisville and Cincinnati makes his report to the officials here in the next few days it is expected that he will reveal the names of a number of Indiana merchants who have defrauded the government by undervaluing merchandise they have Imported. Mr. Weeks has notified the treasury department that he has just finished making the rounds of his territory and that his trip has been a success as far as gathering evidence against violators of the customs law is concerned. Waiting on Chief Wilkie. Chief Wilkie, of the secret service, under whom Mr, "Weeks and other special agents of the treasury department serve, is in New York and it will be several days before he will take up the report of the officer who has been unearthing frauds in Indiana and elsewhere. Assistant secretary' of the treasury Curtis said that he knew that Mr. Weeks was at work in his district and was familiar with his investigations in a general way, but that he would not be advised of the extent of the violations of the law until he had received the detailed report from Chief Wilkie. The boy classice of Oliver Optic and Horatio Alger, jr., have been barred from the Chicago schools' libraries as behind the times and no better than dime novels.
