obtained some New York papers and
while crossing the channel. Mr.. Spahr
discussed In a natural manner the news
contained in them. Occasionally he
would leave US for a minute or two and
then return. We missed him soon after
we passed the lightship not far from
search. We informed the captain when
we arrived at Dover and he began
thorough search for Mr.. Spahr, but
found no trace OF him. A sailor reported
that he had seen Mr.. Spahr at the stern
at just about the time we came 10 the
lightship; but subsequently he retoined
Mrs. Ordway and myself. The sailor said
he ordered Mr.. Spahr from tho stern
three different times. No person saw him
after he left US the last time Mrs. ord
way and myself saw nothing unusual in
his demeanor.

NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVE HERE
Last evening at the meeting OF the
Building Trades council, the representa-
tive of the National Union of Steamntters,
made application for permission OF the
floor.
In asking for the privilege, he stated
that he wished to state the position OF
the National union with regard TO the new
local Of steamfttcrs formed IN this city
few weeks ago. Since the formation
Of the body there has been some activity
on the part OF the older local to have
the younger body disband or come into
fellows ship with IL.
This the young organization refused 10
do, and in order 20 show the Building
Trades council wherein IL would be doing
right in forcing the new local TO unite
with the national body, delegates from the
older local appeared with protests. These
availed not and the representative OF
the national body was called TO the scene
After considering the request and hav-
Ing the exact mission OF Mr.. Cummings
explained. the council thought that IL
would be rather unjust TO hear his side
OF the question without allowing the other
the same privilege. For this reason the
body voted TO postpone the hearing till the
next meeting when n representative OF
the u. A. steamfltters might be on hand
The remainder OF the time for the eve-
ming was spent I'm discussing final ar
ransements for Labor day. There were

CONVICT ESCAPES.
Michael Swass Enjoyed Brief Spell
Of Liberty Yesterday Afternoon.

Michael Swass, who is serving one
year for forgery, escaped from the state
prison yesterday afternoon az about
o'clock but was recdptured three hours
later by City Marshal Michael Mauss
at Murray, At the time of his escape
Swass was working on the prison farm
with some other conyicts In charge Of
Guard David A. Hilton. 1t Is thought
that he watched his opportunity and
crawled into the underbrush along the
banks OF the creek which flows through
the farm, and under cover succeeded In
making his escape.
AS soon as his absence was discover
ed Guard Hilton took the other prs-
oners to the prison and then notified
Warden Pratt of the escape. Four
posses were at once organized and
started IN search of the convict They
went I'm different directions but II seems
that they all secured clues which land
ed them I'm Murray. In the meantime
Marshal Mauss had been furnished
with n description Of Swass and picked
him up just before the posses arrived
In Murray The convict was turned
over to the guards and taken back
10 prison. He was sentenced at Ogden
to one year and had served two months
OF his time IL is probable that he will
now be prosecuted for escaping from
prison, which means from one to 10
years more upon conviction.
