 The escape being discovered We'd nesday morning, dogs belonging to the county were put on the trial, but with out effect. as the scent was cold. The Montgomery county officials were noti- fled of the flight Wednesday. and urged to maintain a lookout for the offered by Sheriff Weldon for the cap ture of any one or the entire bunch.

Washington, Jan. 13.-The appeal from the recent decision of Judge Wright of the District of Columbia
 Supreme Court, in sentencing Samuel GcmDers, John Mitchell and Frank
 Morrison to jail for contempt. will be vigorously pressed and call for funds for the purpose will shortly be issued
 by the American Federation of Labor. This action was decided on at a con- ference here today between the Execu- tive Council of the Federation, now in session here, and former Judge Alton
 B. Parker. of New York, chief counsel for the Federation oficials.; The lat- ter, assisted by local counsel, will now begin the preparation of the appeal. Special legislation to remedy the conditions brought about by the injunc- tion against the Federation because of its action in boycotting the Bucks Stove and Range Company, and the
 contempt proceedings which followed
 were considered. Judge Parker re- turned to New York later in the day.
 Much of the time of today's session proposed specific legislation that
 might be presented to congress to remedy the conditions brought about lby the injunction and contempt pro- lceedings, as we'll as the application oi the Sherman antitrust act to labor or
 ganizations. A bill combining the
 salient features of the Wilson and
 Pearce measlres. which was prepared
 and submitted by Representative Will

 considered.

STATE DoUBLY DRY
WATER AS WE'LL. JAS wHISkEY IS
 LACKING.
LenEesf Drought In Local Recorded
 History aa Experienced Land Cracks In r - .' f-S' Places.

:. Longer than any drought in local re- corded history is the one from which the vicinity of Montgomery Is now sut- fering. The condition Is unprecedented and many persons are suffering great and in some sections II Is going hard with cattle. The swannps usually reservoirs of large ponds oi water. are powdery dry and game Is growing scarce. The game birds. or what is left of the supply, are found only In the vicinity of the river. and daily the eoveys of cartridges are harder to ind. It is said by some the game birds are migrating to less dry lands.
 For the first time farmers are haul ing water for their stock in midwinter. They have to haul wagons loaded with barrels of water In order to keep the stock in anything approaching condi- tion. and of necessity, because of this extra work. which consumes much time. the preparation of land Is being neglected. ! h many sections what was formerly soggy low land is cracking in places. the soil showing as hard. almost. as brick to the depth of several inches below the surface. The streams are lower than they, have been for many years and In some localities. above Montgomery the Alabama river is ford able for horses.
 Occasionally there has been rain. but not enough to make any impression on the existing drought results. The tim- Der tracts are @s dry as finder and in certain sections there is constant dan ger of forest fires. Since last May there has been more or lesa of drought. the condition increasing as the months went on. until. now, in the midst of the winter rainy season. the land Is even dryer than 1t is usually In rnidsum- mer.

BURNED TO DEATH
MOTHER or RAILROAD PRESIDENT ,t LOSES LIFE.
Other Members ef the Family Escaped With Their Lives by Leapfsg
 From Windows on Sec
 end Story. $.

New Haven, Conn, Jan 13.--In a fire that completely. burned the resi- dence of Samuel Higgins. general manager of the New York, New haven and Hartford Railroad, here early to- day. his mother,S Mrs. Higgins, lost her life, his mother-in.law, Mrs. M :. E. Corbin, was probably. fatally hurt and his wife and daughter. Isabeli, his young son and Mfr. Higgins himself barely escaped death in the flames by jumping from second story win dow. .-
 The young son, Harold, escaped with out injury. A coiored cook, jumped from a third story window and proba- sbly escaped serious injury by reason of two police officers interposinK their bodies and breaking the fall.
 The cause of the fire, 1t Is said, was an overheated furnace. Mir. Higgins was awakened by a noise that sounded to him like stream of running wa ter. In moment, he says, he smelled smoke, and then realized that the house. was on fire. He rushed from his room to that of his mother and en- deavored to arouse her by pounding on the door, but owing to her deafness, he thinks she did not hear. MT. Higgins, gropfnG through the smoke and flames, rushed to each room, arousing all the members Of the family. He had hoped that his mother was up. He tried to get back to her room, but the fire cut of his way. It was then that the rest of the family gathered at the window and jumped for their lives.
 st. Romans Terrace, where the resi- dence was located, Is on very high ground and the consequent low water pressure greatly hindered the flremen In their fight. The house occupied by Benjamin Campbell, Q VIce-Prssident of the New York;. New Haven and Hart fords Railroad. took Ire and the flames were extinguished with some difBcuity. Other houses were threatened by. the heavy downpours of sparks. The loss is s76,0o0. Mir. Higgins was formerly connected with the Southern Railway.

MEETING ENDOWED
JUDGE JONES ISSUES A RESTRAIN
 ING ORDER.
n Was Issued st the Request ef Daniel 4. Caifihan. Who Says He Was Deprived of Hfgkts as Stock
 holder fn Citizens' Light
 C0rnpany.

Upon the petition of Daniel 4. Guilt nam. of New York. who. as stockholder in the Citizens Light and Power Com pany of Montgomery. ayers that the trustees of that corporation refused him admittance to their annual meet ing. which was to have been held last night, and that he was refused informa- ton as to the company's affairs. Judge Thomas c. Jones. in the United States Court. granted an injunction. wednes- day. restraining the trustees from holding any meeting unless cullinam and other stockholders are granted ad- mfttanceA Mir. Cullihan purchased ffty-nine shares of the stock, owned by Captain A. c. Forbes. He assigned one share to c. E. White, his Mont somery representative. et e The annual meeting Of the corpora ton and trustees was set for Wednes- day night, January 13. 1909.
 The appeal drew from Judge Jones the injunction. which prevented the meeting of the trustees last night. The order Of injunction. however. asks the coupsel for the defendant to set a date in the near future for hearing on the dissolution of the restraining order. The defendants In the bill. who are the trustees Of the company, have not been heard as yet in the matter.
 Members of the Board of Trustees of the Citizens Light Heat and Power Company were surprised by the bill and the complaints that it made. They said that they had not seen a copy of the bill, but that 1t would be fully answered at the proper time.

WEST VIRGINIA FACES
 A PR0BI EM OF REVENUE

Charleston, W. Va, Jan. 13.-Gover- nor Dawson in his regular biennal message to the Legislature today de- votes considerable space to the matter of revenue for the State.
 The problem of meeting the financial wants of the State Is @ peculiar one, he declares because the constitution inhibits the creating of debt and Nthe State must pay as it goes The btsi- ness of the State demands more money than the revenues afford and he rec ommends that coal, oil and gas pro- duced in the State be taxed and that the inheritance tax laws be amended so as to increase the revenue material ly from this source.
 He says that ''in addition to the leasehold tax, coal, gas and oil should pay another tax. It may be called production tax or privilege tax or li- cense tax; the name is not important, but the tax is important. The tax commission of 1901 proposed tax of so much per ton on coal, so much per barrel on oil and so much per thousand cubic feet on gas. I suggest a tax regulated by the gross earnings from tht production of coal, gas and oil. This method seems to me to. be fairer tc the State and to the owners of this kind of property. If this license tax on coal gas and oil-and I would put it in the form of license tax in or- der to obviate possible constitutional objection-were placed directly on the gross earnings. the tax would go into the general school fund and would be distributed annually for the support of the schools"
 Conservation of natural resources. public health, pollution of rivers and education are discussed and resubmIs- sion of two constitutional amendments making women eligible to appolntive offices and increasing compensation for county courts is recommended. In- creased efficiency of the mine inspec- ton department through larger appro- priations and prohibition of the taking into any mine of intoxicating lIquors are suggestions that meet with the Governors hearty endorsement. as also does the passage of a local option law and submission of an amendment pro- hibiting trafilc in intoxicating liquors.

 SATISFY THE PUBL LISHERS

The sales of text books during the four months of the scholastic year have far exceeded the expectation of the publishers. according to M. V. Joseph. of Birmingham, a member of Loveman Joseph and Loeb who are the state deposory. MT. Joseph was in Mont gomery yesterday in conference with State Auditor W. W. Brandon and Attorney General Alex M. Garber.
 It is estimated by MT. Joseph that the demand for textbooks during the past four months has increased at least ten percent over the demand for like period five years ago. It Is not known what was the purpose of MT. Joseph's visit to. Montgomery. but it Is belelved that it has relation to the business as a state depository.
