She may have reported to Mr.. Niles, but If
she did it was without thought of conspira-

PREP AIRING STATEMENT

MIR. Edward g. Niles of the local bar, who
has been mentioned prominently in connec-
ton with the proceedings in New York that
resulted in the discharge of Mrs. Hughes,
an elderly and wealthy lady of this city,
from private sanitarium on Long Island,
has returned here and was at his office to-
day. Mr.. Niles positively declined TO dis
cuss the latest publication in New York re-
garding the matter, to the effect that
plan had been inaugurated to spirit away
Mrs. Hughes from the jurisdiction Of the
New York court, which has appointed
commission to report upon her mental con-
dition. Neither would Mr.. Niles say any
thing regarding any other phase of the
case He explained that he is engaged in
the preparation of a statement, which will
be given to the press when completed and
which will go fully into the situation and
make clear that his conduct, SO far as Mrs.
Hughes affairs are concerned has been
entirely above reproach. Mr.. Niles states
that he is at least entitled to credit for
possessing ordinary common sense and
some intelligence.
According to Mr.. Niles, the Mrs Bough-
ton who is spoken of in the press reports as
having been connected in some way with
the alleged kidnapping proposition, Is a
widow Of large means, who has at times
resided in this city. His acquaintance with
Mrs. Boughton, so says Mr.. Niles, has not
extended further than a visit to her in

GATTIIERSBURG, Md, November IT, 1902.
About 11:3o Saturday night the hay bar
rack and adjoining stack yard on one Of the
farms of Mr. Ignatius T. Fuiks, situated
near town, was set on fire, it Is believed,
and entirely consumed. The loss will reach
about 81 500 as there was no insurance car
ried. There were probably $50 tons Of the
new crop of hay destroyed. Mr.. Fulks is
confident the fire was of incendiary origin,
as the property was located on an eminence
in the open field, and none Of his hands had
occasion to visit the stack yard yesterday.

said recently placed the property with the
company for sale at a certain price, but
subsequently disposed of it to Mr.. G. c.
Crawford, with the furniture and contents,
and declines to allow the commission. Mr..

CAUSED WIDESPREAD DISTRESS.
Effect of a Law Designed in Interest Of
EMPLOYEES.

OF interest to the United States, in view
of the recent coal strike, is a report of
United States Consul Covert at Lyons to
the State Department upon the reduction
of the hours of labor in France and its ef-
feet upon wages. In March, 1900, a law
went into effect in France limiting the
hours of labor to ten hours and thirty min
utes per day In all factories where any wo-
men and children were employed. Shops en-
ploying men alone were permitted to retain
the old labor day of twelve hours. En-
forcement of the new law caused read
justment Of wages, and the result was
numerous strikes. To avoid reducing the
working day to ten and a half hours many
establishments discharged all the women
and children, thus escaping the operation
of the new act. Thousands Of people were
deprived of needed work and children were
prevented from learning a trade.
Consul Covert calls attention to a recent
report upon the workings Of the new law,
In which it Is stated that there has been
an alarming dimtnution of the product and
consequent loss of profits in the shops
where employment of women and children
was continued. That was especially true of
the silk factories, where only women and
girls are employed. Factory inspectors Sc
cured many convictions for violations or
the law by employers
The new law permits the employment Of
children twelve years of age, provided they
show certificates that they have had four
years schooling and are in vigorous health.
In such business as canning and preserv-
ing fruit, where the season is short and the
material perishable, the law authorizes the
employment of women and children twelve
hours day.
Employees in the larger establishments
complain that shops employing but twenty
persons or less and using neither steam nor
electricity are exempt from the new law,
and thus have advantage over other
shops.
Consul Covert adds that the labortng
classes complained bitterly Of this law
when 1t was first enforced. They now claim
that. II it's operation has not been more
cause last year, following the Paris expo
sition, was one of Industrial depression.

Attempt at kidnapping.

The New York Herald of today says:
According to her attorneys, two unsuc-
cessful attempts have been made during the
last ten days to kidnap Mrs. Louise Beau
champ Hughes, the wealthy old woman who
was recently released from Dr. Kellogg
home, at Riverdale, as a result of court
proceedings brought by relatives of her late
husband Believing it to be the intention
of persons interested in having her recon-
mitted to asylum to decoy her outside
the jurisdiction of New York courts, her
counsel have placed a police guard in the
Park Avenue Hotel, where she is living,
and her visitors are now all closely Scruti-
nized by shrewd detectives. In the mean
time she has been freed of guardianship of
person and property by order of Judge Mer-
can, in Brooklyn. At her own request
commission in lunacy has been appointed to
inquire into her mental condition, and 1t is
her desire that some New York trust COM
pany be made the trustee of her property.
OF the attempts to kidnap Mrs. Hughes
neither her counsel nor the counsel for Ed
ward G. Niles, who was instrumental in
having her sent to an asylum last August,
have much to say. 1t is admitted that Mr..
Niles has had her closely watched by his
representatives. This close espionage is dis
tasteful to Mrs. Hughes, and the manage
ment OF the Park Avenue Hotel has done
all that it could to put a stop to it, but it
has been deemed the safest course to main
tain a police guard.
Detective Sergeant McConville was at the
Park Avenue Hotel last night and when
seen he admitted that it had been his duty
to spend his nights there during the last
week. Capt. Titus, chief of the detective
bureau, when seen last night said all infor-
nation would have to come from Andrew
J. Shipman of the firm of Blandy Mooney
& Shipman, counsel for Mrs. Hughes.
