PRISONER
CAPTURED
LAWRENCE HARMON LEAD
Err OF GANG WHO BROKE
JAIL HERE, CAPTURED

Lawrence Harmon. one of the pris-
oners who escaped from the Logan
county sail several weeks ago when
the negro Shaffer, charged with the
burning of the Crescent City cotton
gins, made his escape, was arrested
at Cushing last night after a running
fight with the officers. Harmon was
arrested originally charged with
breaking into and robbing the El
Reno e Western depot at Lockridge.
After making his esiape from the jail
here he went to Lockridge and told
several that he had been paid $4,000
to effect the Jail break. Since that
time the Logan county officers have
been hot on his trail. 1t was through
information given the Gushing Of
ficials by Sheriff Mahoney that his
capture was made possible yesterday.
Harmon is the man, so it is charged,
who supplied the saw that did the
work.

SAN DOMINGO ASKS
AID Of UNITED STATES

Washington, ID. c., Nov. 6.-An ap-
peal for aid for the tobacco interests
of the Dominican Republic, was made
to the state department today by
Doctor Soler, the Dominican minister.
He said there was fear that the en-
tire crop. the principal product OF the
northern part of the island, might be
lost, as it had been sold in advance
and was TO have gone to Hamburg,
Germany. No ships can be found to
carry it, as it always had been sent
in German bottoms. The financial
stringency already is being felt. the
minister explained, and the tobacco
can not be kept long without spelling.
An effort will be made to secure
American or other neutral vessels to
handle the crop.
