GUATEMALA CITY, oct S-(SpeciaI
Cablegram )-Foreign residents Of Amapala.
Honduras, have fled that city to escape
outrage at the hands Of the commandantc.
who has given orders that all Americans
and English in the place are to be Jailed
and their property confiscated. The order
Of Imprisonment was equivalent to exc
cution.
The greater part of the Americans prop
erty has been seized by the commandante
The English consul at Amapala has es
capped to San Salvador Immediately on his
arrival he cabled his government for a
cruiser to protect English property When
the Amapala commandante heard of this
he declared he would burn the town the
moment a British vessel armed with guns
appeared on the horizon.
Before their flight several Of the Eng
fish and American families were subjected
to cruelues at the hands Of petty officials
The escape Of the English consul was ef-
fected amid a storm Of bullets fired by
squad of soldiers who went to arrest him
on charge Of fomenting revolution.
PiIaginE the Houses.
The result OF the commentaries actions
is state Of anarchy among the natives
who are pillagng the homes of the for
eigners who fled. Little surprise is oc-
casioned here by the receipt Of news Of
an outbreak at Amapala because the situa-
ton in Honduras so far as England and
Washington are concerned has been pre-
carious for a long time.
Only recently when the American minis
ter, Mr.. McCreary, arrived at Amapala
on his way to Honduras Tegacigalpa he
was subjected to insult at the hands of
the same commandante, who stirred up
this row.
President Davila had sent word to the
commandante to- receive Mr.. McCreary
with dignity. The commandante sent word
back to the president that he would not
show honor to any of Tafts dogs" The
result was that McCreary was received by
the German residents in Amapala. They
had been appealed to by President Daviia
Shortly afterward Minister McCreary
heard that the Amapala commandante had
named his dog Taft to show his opinion
of Yankees Washington knew Of the in
suit, but said nothing because it was then
trying to arrange loan for Honduras.
Notwithstanding the threats of the COM
mandante, the British cruiser Scylla has
started for Amapala.

JUDGE PUZZLED HOW TO
IMPRISON CORPORATION

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Aug. s.
How he could imprison a corporation
was question which bothered Judge
Pritchard, in the criminal court, this
week, during and after an argument
on motion to quash in a case against
the English Woolen company, charged
with having used the union label on
it's goods, although not having the
right to do so.
The motion to quash set out that
no corporation has ever been impris-
oned in this. or any other state, and
that it would be impossible to i'm
prison such an intangible thing. At
torney c. c. Pettijohn, for the de-
fendant, also raised the question that
the sheriff of Marion county could not
collect his per diem for the feed and
keep of a corporation"
Judge Pritchard stated he consid-
cred the statute as one not applying
to- a corporation, inasmuch as it
seemed mandatory to him that the
defendant, if convicted, must be i'm
prisoned in the penitentiary, or If
fined, Imprisonment in the Jail or
workhouse must be added.

Organized Workers of Frisco Il. -.
Plan Bank Controlled by Labor

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal, Aug. s.
A bank to be controlled exclusively
by organized labor is demanded by
the trades unions of this city not
only for the protection of the work
ing people but for the advancement Of
municipal enterprises that the pre-
sent bank owners do not favor.
It is estimated that the 200 labor
organizations of San Francisco alone,
and not taking into account those
unions in adjacent cities and towns
around the bay, would be amply able
to furnish funds for the establishment
of such an institution upon firm
foundations. a@t lila, &4.s,s..EE$ |% $a +

WON'T let C0Nv|CTS
COMPETE With LABOR

LENA, Mont, Aug. 5.-The
state board of prison commissioners
has held a special meeting to hear
the protests of several of the leading
labor organizations of the state
against the use of convict labor out
side the prison walls.
:--.ter listening to the argument
setting e~~4, competition with free la
Dor and expressing a fear that work
on country roads made an "entering
wodge," the board submitted writ
ten reply in return. .~ =
The board states that whenever
such work has been done it was be-
cause the county affected was unable
to handle the proposition, and, again,
that the law requires that prisoners
be kept at hard labor; it is also
pointed out that the prison is ade-
Quate to accommodate the number for
these and that men are literally beg
ging to get outside work. : r.
1t adds that humanity and refor-
nation both demand employment for
the men. The board agrees to submit
a law to the legislature amending the
present statutes making it impossi-
BE for convicts to compete with free
labor by confining them strictly to
work within the prison walls except
the raising. Of necessary vegetables
and also work on country roads.

QUIT. YOUR UNION OR

Says Manufacturing Co.
Says Manufacturing Co.

ROCKFORD, ILL.,, Aug. 5.-The
Emerson-Branting company. the larg-
est manufacturing company of this
:cl> has issued circular to it's en-
ployes who are now on a two weeks
vacation, warning them that they
need not return to work If they in
tend to stick to union principles.
"Foremen," says the circular, will
be, instructed to question any en-
ploye at any time the superintendent
or foreman is doubtful of his being
satisfied or loyal to the company, and
If man is a member of a union or
does not give satisfactory replies, he
will be required to sign an employ
ment agreement with us"
The notice has apparently been is
sued to check any movement toward
organization, in the factory. 1t treats,
to a great extent, of the advantages
Of working for the company, on the
fact that it has not frequently laid
off the men but kept the majority
working all the year round.
I'VE are informed that some of our
employees have attempted to organize
a labor union, which appears to us
to indicate dissatisfaction on their
part, or lack of confidence in the good
intentions of the company. Disturb
ers or agitators will not be retained
in our employ
This is an attempt to frighten the
men out of seeking the only means
of obtaining their rightA
The circular states that the COM
pany will deal with employees as indi-
sviduais only and fetainssstl1e- privilege
Of discharging any 5employe when It
sees fit. -.-...
1t is by treating with the employe
as an individual that the company is
able to impose it's own terms how
ever unfavorable.
Men that had not realized that the
union that "antagonizes and anneys
the company is the means of freeing
themselves from wage slavery, now
get to thinking why the company
should issue such circulars Or should
be in such fear of labor unions.

No political candidate in California

clash between the Grand Trunk strik-
ers and the. Detroit soldiers of the
Michigan National guard, ordered
here by Governor Warner to preserve
order; took place in ball game Tues.

EWant to play IT out to a finish.
!. Once during the heat Of the con-
test--and 1t was hot on the unshaded
sand lot where the game was played
"a soldier shouted to the striker in
the pitchers box; ~~5-
You throw like you was heavine
bricks at box cars" e.. >.s
Every one said that was uncalled
for. Several times there were warm
disputes with the umpires. Lieutenant
Harry Andrews was accused Of favor
Ing the strikers, and Irvine, vice
chairman of the conductors union,
was openly charged with showing par
tiality to the soldiers. Nearly 500
soldiers and as many townspeople
saw the game at 20 cents per head,

the strikers fund. :,
Then the Durand village team beat
the nine from the Grand Rapids
battalion. and after that a. dress
parade rounded out full afternoons

Of Durand. There are enough SOL
diers to furnish one guard for nearly
every male citizen in town, If that
were desired. and aside from. the
strenuous "rooting'' at the ball game,
there has been no disorder since the
soldiers came.

GOVT: ::SAVIhGS.BANKS:.
ALMOST A reality

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5:-By Octo-
ber Is, at the earliest, or by Novem-
ber 1, at the latest, the postal savings
bank system will be put in operation
throughout the country. If present
plans are carried out the new bank
will not be introduced at the outset
in cities of the first class.
The departmental committee which
is now perfecting an Organization
will recommend that the bank be
tried in the first instance in post
offices of the second and third class
es. 1t is pointed out that If postal
savings we're received at the begin
ming in the big offices the cost Of
administration would limit the intro
duction of the system to compare
lively few cities, as the appropria-
ton made available for the current
fiscal year was fixed at 100000. The
ol44cials declare that the cost of ad-
ministration will be greater in cities
of the first class than in cities of the
second or third class.
The indications are that at the be-
ginning one town in each state will
be designated as a postal savings
bank. Towns will be selected where
the cost Of administration will be re-
duced to a minimum. Later, when q
larger appropriation is made avail
able by congress the system will be
more generally extended. .'

BROOKLYN, N. Y, Aug. 5.-With- {
out the slightest provocation, officials

In rough weather the headlight had
