Members will Attempt to Maintain High Wages by Energetic Co-Op-eratlon with Employers.

ALBANY, Jan. 2.—Rev. E. M. Fairchild of Albany, who has been called into consultation by the workmen interested in the formation of the National League of Independent Workmen of America, said today: "The league wil be organized in the near future. It is proposed to put a national organizer in the field, and to organize local branches all over the country, and demand that employers ran their shops as 'open shops,' in which union and league men can have an equal and fair chance for employment. "The specific objects for which the independent workijien propose to organize are as follows: "1. To protect independent workmen in their independence. "2. To sustain high wages by skillful, energetic co-operation with our employers. "3. To establish reasonable hours of labor, according to exigencies of the trades. "4. To promote intelligent understanding of our work. "5, i'o furnish favorable conditions for training apprentices, in order that our boys may become successful workmen. "6. To maintain sanitary conditions of employment by means of state laws and inspectors. "7. To compel officers of the government to enforce the laws. "8. To compel labor unions to observe the laws."

FUGITIVE CAUGHT.

John Hughes, One of the Men Who Escaped from Jail was Sleeping in His Lawyer'^C&ffice.

The police last nigh -captured John Hughes, who on Tuesday night made his escape from jail with one or two other prisoners serving sentences for minor offenses. The man was found sleeping in the office of Attorney Austin Sweet. Hughes was serving a sentence for overdriving a horse, and there is a more serious charge awaiting him to be pushed as soon as his time expires. It is said that as soon as he escaped from the jail, he went to the office of his lawyer and has since been hiding there. He has been in lots of trouble of late and' only a short time ago was divorced from his wife. The charge now pending against him is for assault and battery on his divorced wife.

Attorney Sweet says that he was entirely ignorant of the man's presence in his office. He explains his being there by the fact that Hughes was acquainted with his stenographer. Edward Wille, and' had come to the office after Sweet left and had asked that he be allowed to sleeD there. The stenographer permitted him to do so. The young man was discharged by Mr. Sweet today.

CAME NEAR SERIOUS.

Timely Discovery of a Fire in the Seventh District School was Made by Teacher.

The opportune discovery of a fire and the presence of mind of Miss Gfroerer, a teacher in the Seventh district school, averted perhaps serious results on the Tuesday preceding the dismissal for the holidays. Councilman Edward Roach, who is the janitor at the building, was off duty and a man who was not familiar with the work was in his place. The mail had started a hot lire, and while he was absent from the building for a few moments some trash took fire from one of the pipes in the main hall and- the blaze was carried to the radiator in the kindergarten department. Miss Gfroerer discovered the blaze and without making a scene to attract the attention of the children, she notified Principal W. G. Sanford. When Mr. Sanford reached the scene the blaze was gaining good headway. It was not yet at a danger point, however, and Mr. Sanford closed the door and kept all the children in their seats while Miss Gfroerer threw water on the blaze and extingushec1. it. It was about time to dismiss for the noon hour and while the teacher was throwing water on the flames, the principal dismissed the school in regular order and it was not until they were out of the room that they knew there had been any danger. An unsuccessful attempt was made to suppress the affair.
