principal depositors are the farmers

their work, as the town was in slum-

store diagonally across the street
from the bank. Looking from his
window a moment later he saw the
robbers emerge from the bank build

Part Of Republic.

Revolution Breaks Out In Northern
Part Of Republic.
Cape Haytien, Hayti, Oct. 27.-The
revolution which has broken out in
the northern part of the republic Of
Santo Domingo and which already has
resulted in the establishment of q
provisional government under the
presidency of General Morales was,
according to advices received here,
caused by the numerous customhouse
frauds and the prevarications Of the
ministers of wal and of finance.
The signal for the outbreak Of tho
revolt was given at 2 o'clock on Satur.
day afternoon by three cannon shots.
That same evening all the partisans
of President Wos y Gil at Puerto
Plata were arrested. The Inhabitants
of Monte Cristi, La Ligne and Moca
united and attacked Santiago. That
town is now surrounded by revolution
lists, who have severed telegraphic
communication between Santiago and
La Vega. The revolutionary move
ment is extending.
Vice President Deschamps has
sought safety in flight and is said to
be hidden in Monte Cristi, where he is
seeking an opportunity to embark on
board some vessel bound for a for
eign port.
The general opinion is that the gov
eminent of President Wos y Gil is
lost.

Decision Handed Down by Michigan
Supreme Court,

Jackson. Mich, Oct. 24.-Under a
decision handed down by the state
supreme court a number Of prisoners
in the state prison here, said to reach
about 100, will be released at once.
John Harvey, a prisoner under ten
years sentence for burglary, should
have been released some weeks ago If
allowed his good time" but the
prison officials said he was a third
termer" and for that reason not en-
titled to good time" and refused to
release him. Harvey carried the case
to the supreme court, where it was
held that sentences Harvey had served
In the state reformatory at Ionia for
assault and battery should not be
reckoned against him in deciding his
claim for good time. Harvey claimed
that his Ionia sentences were illegal,
as it was beyond the jurisdiction of
the Justice or judge to send him to
1onia for the offense named. The SUI
.preme court conceded with this view.
The decisions will give a number Of
other convicts good time" and result,
the prison officials say, in the release
of nearly 100.

PARRY REPLIES AT LENGTH.
Answers Questions ~Propounded by La.
Dor Organization.

Indianapolis, Oct. 26.-President D.
M. Parry of the National Manufac-
turers' association has made public a
reply of $4,000 words to the questions
~propounded to him several months ago
by the Central Labor union of In
dianapolis bearing upon his attitude
toward organized labor and the rea-
sons therefor. The reply is being
printed in pamphlet form. The labor
question is argued generally from the
standpoint of an employer. In open
ing Mr.. Parry says:
"Under the American form of gov
eminent men have a perfect right to
quit their employment when they see
fit. But when they once quit they
have no right to interfere in any man
ner whatever with their former en-
ployer or with the men hired to take
the places they have abandoned"
Mr. Parry attacks the socialists in
the labor movement and also some of
the principles Of unionism, which he
designates as being socialistic. In
speaking Of the trusts Mr.. Parry says
they may take advantage of lack of
law or poor law, but they are not to be
found carrying on business with revol-
vers pointed at the heads Of other
peOnle.
