WINFIELD WOMAN
IS HELD CAPTIVE.
DR.. LUCY BOWEN IN SERIOUS
CONDITION FOLLOWING At
TACK BY THREE MEN

Winfield, Dec. 2O.The search for
three men who attacked DR.. Lucy
Bowman, % years old, and forced her
to accompany them to the outskirts
OF town, where she was held captive
for two hours, was renewed by officers
today.
Not the slightest clue that might
lead to the capture Of the men had
been discovered early today. although
the victim Of the attack regained her
senses sufficiently to give descrip-
ton Of her assailants. .
DR.. Bowman was approached by
three men Monday night and forced to
enter a carriage. She was driven into
the country where she was held for
two hours. In serious condition the
woman was returned to town but was
unable to give an accurate account OF
the attack for several hours.
Excitement is high In this vicinity
and mob violence is feared II the Off
GERS succeed in capturing the guilty
parties.
Mayor Gardner OF Winfield, who is
q physician, has been attending the
woman. 1t is said he has not determin-
ed definitely whether any criminal as.
sault was made. Sheriff Goe of Mt.
Pleasant returned home this afternoon
after making an investigation, but he
did not secure enough evidence to
warrant an arrest. The woman Is still
in a highly nervous condition, but no
doubt is felt Of her recovery.

Pekin by Envoy.

Shanghai, Dec. 20-During the peace
conference between the representa-
stives of the imperial government and
the resolutionists this afternoon Tang
Shao VI who represents Premier Yuan
Shi Kai, expressed himself as ready
to accept republic but must first
communicate with Pekin."
I The identical note from the foreign
powers comprising the United States
Great Britain, Japan, Germany,
France and Russia. was presented to-
day to the representatives Of the I'M

yolutionaries by the consular corps.
u The consuls first drove to the resi-
dence Of Tang Shao VI, the represen.
tative Of Premier Yuan Shi Kai The
German consul, as dean Of the con.
sular corps. was the first spokesman.
He begged permission to read the
note.
Tang shao vi replied in few words
said he hoped the conference between
the representatives OF the imperial
government and the revolutionaries
would be successful in restoring
peace.
From Tang Shao Yi's residence the
consuls proceeded to the headquarters
Of DR.. Wu Hing Fang, the revolution
airy leader, where much the same cere-
mony took place. &.
The conference was resumed at the
town hall this afternoon. After the
meeting had adjourned an official
statement prepared by Tang Shao VI
and DR.. WI Ting Fang, the leaders OF
the imperialists and revolutionaries
respectively, was issued to the press.
It says In substance that after DR.. WI
Ting Fang had presented the case In
favor OF a republic as an indispensable
condition OF peace Tang Shao VI "ex-
pressed his readiness to accept DR..
Wu Ting Fang Views. but the matter
.was 10 Important ssAat ne must hrst

istice between the opposing forces has
been extended to December 80.
Uncle Sam Takes Lead.
To the United States belongs the
credit OF bringing about a concert Of
action in China by the six great pow
ers OF the world. The Washington
government initiated the movement
which now has taken definite form
here.
The United States has been the
agent to bring the powers into q com
mon agreement based upon q recogni-
tion OF the necessity Of preserving the
integrity and autonomy Of China.
Whether this is accomplished under

The American plan, which now
gives promise OF success, found its

District Attorney Wilkerson
in Opening Argument As
sails Defendants; Three
to Talk for Defense.

Chicago, Dec. 20.-At a conference
OF counsel for the defense today It
was decided that several representa-
tives Of the packers would make an
opening address to the jury immed-
lately following the close of United
States District Attorney Wilkerson's
statement. Attorney George T. Buck
ingham, it is said will make the first
statement in behalf OF the defendants
and will be followed by Attorneys
John s. Miller, John Barton Bayne
and Levy Mayer. The indications are
that the government win not call its
first witness before next week.
District Attorney Wilkerson resum-
ed his address when court opened. He
described with minute detail the work
ings Of the system by which the COM
binations Of packers are alleged to
have suppressed competition and fixed
prices.
The crude methods OF the old pool
were supplanted in later years by the
operation OF the National Packing Co.
by which the packers attended week
" meetings as directors Of the corpor-
alton and fixed prices" said Mr.. VIII
kerson. Under the new system, the
packers met as directors instead OF
as individuals, although precisely the
same business was transacted and the
same results obtained. Prices were
decided upon, the country's meat busi-
ness divided among the defendant
members Of the combination and the
shipments to different markets agreed
upon"
Mr.. Wilkerson then described the
methods of the combination In sup.
pressing competition.
He said rate wars were started In
certain districts to drive independent
packers out OF the field. In. some in
stances troublesome competitors were
absorbed by the combination. He
described how Bwafzschiid and Sulz.
berger, the New York Dressed Beet
Co. and other Independent concerns
were taken into the alleged combina-
tion. s u
Makes Many Charges.
Tracing the history OF the meat in
.dustry in the return to the men under
indictment and going into great detail
In his description Of phases Of the
spiracy to violate the law OF the land,
Mr. Wilkerson laid special emphasis
upon the following points:
That the combination, represented
by the ten Chicago meat packers un-
der indictment. is the most powerful
system for the suppression Of compe-
tition and the fixing of prices ever
known in the history OF the Industrial
world.
That the system they devised Is so
ingenious and 50 closely guarded that
the men in the lower grades Of en-
ployment are made to believe that
the corporations In the combination
are actual competitors.
That indicted packers or their pre-
decessors have dominated meat prices
since 1880. That the real purpose and
design Of the National Packing COM
pany, which. was organized by mem
bers Of the combination March 1S, 1908.
is to continue the work accomplished
by the old pool" That the key to the
system is the uniform method used by

No Former Federals Shall Hold Of

Juarez. Mex. Aug. 1.-The situation
is quiet in this city tonight, with the
rebellious element of insurrecto Gus
toms employees. masters of the situ-
alton so far as their position in the
government service is concerned.
A significant development from the
exciting experience of the day is that
no former federal employees are going
to be permitted to hold official posi-
tions under the present government
and such appointments will be re-
sisted by an appeal to arms, if neces-
sary.
The mUtinous employees of the GUS
toms house, numbering seventy-nine
who this morning defied the federal
government by preventing former fed
eral employees from taking up work,
arrested the federal postmaster and
stamp collector and compelled them
TO leave the city and inspired the
resignation of the collector, are to-
night installed in their respective po-
sitions with the approval and back
Ing of the Juarez people.
The authorities of Mexico City have
been communicated with and advised
to leave matters as they are. No
reply has been received.

REACHING FOR AN ENTOMBED
MINER.
The Former Able Last Night to Send
Him Feast.

Joplin, Mo, Aug. 1.-Entombed sew
enty-eight feet below the surface of
the earth. and facing possible death
from rising water in a mine drift Jos.
Gary, young miner caught by a
cave-in at the White Oak mine here
on Sunday, tonight feasted on fried
chicken and joked with friends who are
waiting at the surface for his rescue.
The fourth drill hole put down in an
attempt to reach his prison, penetrated
the roof of limestone late this after
noon.
"Helloo," his brOther-in-law, Maui
rice CRATER, called down the hole when
the drill bits had been removed.
"Helloo. boys, I'm hungry" came the
clear but faint reply. Then Thomas
Clary. the father OL the entombed min
er hurried home where the young mans
mother was prostrated with grief and
told her that her son was still alive.
The news the doctors say, saved the
moher's life. From his home bis faith
er, one of the eldest prospectors in this
district hurried back to the mine, carry
ing milk and stimulants which were
lowered by a piece of rope. After
drinking young Clary seemed much
strengthened and remained near the
drill hole talking to those at the top.
Efforts will now be turned to sink
a rescue shaft. but, however, it the
shaft is not down to the drift within
two or three DAYS, il may be too late
to bring the young man out alive.
