THOMAS BOWEN, ALLEGED RAP
isT ARRESTED AT RUTLEDeE,
HELD TO COURT.
Mrs. c. W.. Stewart, Wife of Prominent
Washington County Farmer, Said to
Be the Victim - Examination Held
Behind Closed Doors.

George Smith, alias Thomas Bowen,
who was arrested Thursday about one
mile north of Rutledge by Merton E..
Teeter. deputy sheriff of Washington,
yesterday waived examination before
Justice A. s. Folger, of Washington,
upon the charge of rape and was bound
district court under $4,000 bonds.
The hearing took place Friday be-
hind closed doors and consequently but
few particulars concerning the crime
have yet been made public.
Mrs. G. w. Stewart wife of promi-
nent young farmer, 1t is stated, is the
victim of the assault which occurred
on last Tuesday The story as briefly
told by a Washington correspondent
is as follows:
Smith had applied for work at the
Stewart farm, which was given him.
Last Tuesday as Mrs. Stewart went to
an unused house in the rear of the
residence she was seized by her assail-
ant and assaulted. Efforts at first were
made to conceal the matter as both
feared the man who was large and
powerful and who continued to hang
around the place, but Mrs. Stewart de-
manded justice and a neighbor was
called for assistance. But nothing was
done and as Smith refused to leave
the sheriff was notified, when he dis
appeared. His arrest soon followed
and the full limit Of the law will be
melted out to him.
&c. w. Stewart is the son of j. G..
Stewart. ex-county treasurer, and his
wife was daughter of Knight Wag-
oner "a prosperous farmer of this coun-
ty, and she is most estimable woman

Des Moines. May 81 - There will
be something doing at the meeting of

tee this afternoon. if the anti-Hearst
men are in the majority and carry out
the program upon which they have
agreed substantially
1t is proposed not to permit A. w.
Maxwell. member of the committee
from the eighth district, to assume the
duties of chairman of the committee
under authority of the state convention
which recently elected him to occu-
ply that position.
Disagree Over Chairman.
The anti-Hearst men hold to the
view that the convention had not the
power to elect Mr.. Maxwell chairman
of the committee and that that power
is inherent with the committee itself
They declare that it is unprecedented.
They profess to believe it is doubtful
If Mr. Maxwell will attempt to assume
the duties of the position.
Anti-Hearst men are in doubt as to
the object of the meeting. 1t was call
ed by Committeeman Jackson of Ia
ma county. He has been chairman of
the committee for two years. He said
in the call that he summoned the com
mittee on the request of Mr.. Maxwell
Mr.. Maxwell said before he left the

state convention, that as n matter of
courtesy he would ask hTr. Jackson
as the outgoing chairman, to call the

MAY NOT BE
RETAINED AS CHAIRMAN

ed no reference to the purpose of the
gathering.
Purpose Of Meeting.
Under these circumstances the an
u-Hearst men are going on the theory
that the meeting is called for the pur-
pose OF organizing and that this or
ganlzation includes the election Of a
chairman. They will attend the meet
ing today for that purpose. They will
refuse to decognize the legality Of the
election of MI. Maxwell II Mr.. Max
well attempts to act there will be
something doing. His friends may in
sist that the state committee has not
the power to reverse the action of the
state convention, though the anti
Hearst men profess to think he will
not ask to sit as chairman without
election by the committee.
And so there may be two democrat
ic state committees with a chairman
apiece, doing business in Iowa this
year.
How the Committeeman Vote.
The anti-Hearst men claim that they
have six votes solid on the committee
as it is now constituted. They claim
that there are two others who might
be with them on matters of organize
ton and on question as to the fac
tons of the state. especially in view Of
the statement Of the managers for Mr..
Hearst that they regret that the state
convention took any hand in the chair.
