bad. The majority are scantily clad, and
not few are barefooted. The hardships

Many Consider shat Governor Durbin

THE LATTER. Is NOT EXCITED

SHOULD HAvss BEEN NOTIFIED.

Incident as Campaign Material
Union b. Hunt OutspOken.

The sudden resitnation of Alvin T. Hert
as superintendent sof the Indiana Reforma-
tory and the appointment of Joseph B.
Byers, of Columbss, o., his successor,
is variously comnsented upon by local Re-
publicans. Some surprise is expressed that
Mr. Hert did mott notify the Governor of
his intended resignation; and the omission
is regarded by same as discourtesy
Others comment on the fact that the board
of managers went outside of Indiana to
get new superintendent for the institution
and the general belief is that a capable
man for the plac. could have been found
without going outsside of the State.
At the Governor.s office it was said yes
terday by Charles e. Wilson that no init
nation of the acton of Mr.. Hert had been
received at the csfce. and that the Gov
ernor knew nothing about 1t until he read 1t
In the papers IN conversation with a
friend yesterday the Governor was not in
clined to get excitSd about the matter, and
passed 1t by Wits the observation that it
would have been "A more courteous proce-
dure II Mr.. Hertz had followed the usual
precedent and hay notified him of his in
tended resignations The Governor made no
criticism of the astion of the prison board
in selecting Mr.. hyers as Mr. Hert's sue
cessor, except to say that it may have been
unwise as well al unnecessary to go out
of the State.
AMICABRE RELATIONS.
So far as the management of the Reform
atory is concerned, the relations of Gov
ernor Durbin and fMr. Hert have been am
icable and they have been in harmony as to
policy. There hai been, it is stated by
some. friction between the Governor and
the ex-superintensent over personal mat
ters. but they hal not differed to the
conduct of the af;iirs of the Reformatory
The state committee was informed yes-
terday that the democrats would seize
upon the action OF Mr. Hert in an attempt
to secure elections ammunition. and would
disseminate charges that Mr.. Hert had
acted with treachery to the members of his
party and to the Governor. While the res
ignation, coming as suddenly as II did is
Greet, there is nc feeling that Mir. Her,
had desire to Iaace the party in a bad
position.
Some of the state officers condemn tbs
action of the boars of managers of the Re-
formatory in appointing Mr.. Byers to the
vacant superinten;lency. Union b. Hunt Is
quoted as saying that the action of this
board is an outrage. Republicans generaIIy
feel that while Ms. Hert probably had ex.
cellent reasons for rendering his resiona
tion 1t should haze been done with more
deliberation and yith more regard for ths
position of the Gosyernor

Possibly Exaggerated.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 29.-The Douk-
hobors who are said to be creating dis
turbances in Manitoba were induced to
leave Russia and settle in Canada by
Joseph S. Elkinton, Quaker of this city,
who was aided by several influential MEM
bers of the Society of Friends. He spent
three months among the Doukhobors and
was the personal representative of the men
who made possible the emigration of the
Russian sect. Mr. Elkinton says he has
agents in each of the fifty-eight Doukhobor
villages in Canada, but has not as yet re-
ceived information from them Of marching
and alleged rioting. THAT 1000 of them are
on the march propaganding strange doc
trines," said Mr.. Elkinton Il cannot be-
lieve. 1 am sure the whole matter has been
exaggerated"
Mr.. Elkinton said he had visited fifty
four of the fifty-eight villages. Crime he
asserted, is practically unknown among the
people. Honesty, morality and truthfulness
he declared to be their chief characteristics.

M0LINEUX SCORES AGAIN.


NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-The prosecution in
the Molineux case rested to-day after the
defense had secured an important advan-
tage in the decision by Justice Lambert that
the reading of the testimony given at the
first trial by Matte Melando and Detective
Farrell, both of whom are beyond the juris-
diction of the court, was inadmissible.
The greater port of the session was de-
voted to the examination of a handwriting
expert who, like all those who have pre-
ceded him, testified that one hand wrote tho
poison package address, the Barnet and
Cornish letters and letters admittedly writ
ten by Molineux. The presentation of the
case for the defense is expected TO occupy
not more than two days, and interest CEN
ters in the question whether Molineux will
testify in his own behalf.

dog found the body of murdered woman
just off the well-traveled highway near

victim evidently was tramp and she has
not been identified. Walter Locke, whose
dog drew him to the place, found the body
to be warm and with six wounds in the
head, five of them from pistol bullets
while the sixth, which had gashed the left
ear and plunged into the neck had been
made with some sharp instrument. There
was every indication that the murder itself
had been committed elsewhere and that
the body had been taken from a wagon
and dragged into the field where IL was
found. The dress of the woman seemed to

DOCK LABORERS STRIKE.


MONTREAL, Oct 29.-Two thousand
dock laborers went on strike to-day. COM
pletely tying up the business of the port
The men have been working all the season
on fiat scale of 20 cents per hour, night or
day work. and they now demand payment
at the rate of 80 cents per hour for day
work and IS cents per hour for night work
The demand was refused. Tonight a mass
meeting was held on the Champ de Mars
and resolutions passed unanimously that
the men would remain out until their full
demands have been conceded. The demand
is based on the great increase in the cost
of living. The ship agents contend that
the men are being paid all the conditions of
the port warrant.
With twenty steamers in port waiting
cargo, and as many more still due, the Sit
uation is serious one. The shipping agents
met late tonight and decided, in view of
the urgency of the situation, to offer the
men Is cents per hour for day labor and 30
cents for night work. Tonight the Elder
Dempster Company is paying 80 cents for
the men employed In unloading the lake
steamer Megantic, due to sail tomorrow
morning.
