Manila, May 23.-The gates of Bilibid
prison, Manila, swung open tonight and
admitted a mule wagon bearing three
former United States officers who reluc-
family alighted and began to serve SEN
fences in expiation of crimes in connec-
ton with the commissary scandals. The
sentences, which were read to the con-

James c. Reed late depot commissary at
Manila, to three years Imprisonment,
and Lieut.. Frederick Boyer, late depot
commissary at Calamba, to one years
Imprisonment.
By order of the provost marshal, Gen.
George w. Davis, a representative OF the
Associated Press was accorded an inter
view with the prisoners. Capt. Reed and
Capt. Barrows seemed comparatively I'M
moved by their situation. Lieut. Boyer
protested his innocence and seemed vim
dictive toward Capt. Barrows, who, he
alleged. was alone guilty OF misapproprist-
ing bacon.

How to Transport Teachers.
The question OF transportation Of the 100

Fall River Mass. May 23.-Up to noon

representing eight corporations had
signed the paper put in circulation yes
terday for the signatures of the cotton
mill managers, binding them to an agree
ment to reduce wages 10 per cent. on
June 3, and so far as the narrow goods
mills were concerned to make a further
curtainment of production. Among the
managers of the print cloth mills, it is
stated to-day that there are a number of

those favoring a cut down be successful,

then he is almost sure to provoke
his teacher and make trouble.

why not sell bonds to the amount
