 Al HankoW Today
Special from United Press.)


 Shanghai Nov. 4-Premier Yuan Shi Kai and General Lii Yuan Hung, the rebel commander, are supposed to be in conference at Hankow today. The general is known to have agreed to an armistice for a meeting with the premier It is strongly doubted here, however, whether any agreement can be reached Though prepared to make enormous concessions, Premier Yuan is firm for the preservation of the monarchy.
 Unless the rebels have undergone a change of heart, General Li will com promise on nothing less than repub- lie.
 The rebels estimate that 1,50O ifnper- ialists have been killed at Hankow since Oct. 31.
 Fear is expressed today that the Wesleyan Mission, near the Hans River, in which 50 blind boys and 15O wounded persons, who with the staff of the mission make a total of 300, was destroyed by the fire which is raging in almost the entire native city of Hankow.
 pr. Booth, head of the mission, ask ed the imperialiStS to grant an arm1s- ticeS of two hours to allow the removal of the mission but the firing stopped for only half an hour. A Red Cross steamer, which attempted to rescue the inmates, was driven back by shells from the rebel fort.

 Cooper's chauffeur turned to the middle of the KsFset fo $ayoid car southwesterly from Main to State street. Lalley's car. driven by MT. SLalley, came in the opposite direction and Cooper's car was so far from the right side that the two came together. Neither was badly damaged.

 M de Surmieres, the suitor, was played by Harvey J. Swann, who has been likewise a member of the dra- matic circle for several years. He received considerable applause after the scene with his fancee, when by telling her story that he tries to make funny, he sought to make her laugh and so betray her false tooth.
 Miss Aline Havard was the maid Francine. She played this bright part with great cleverness. She was es- pecially good in the scene where she leases the young man when he returns to get his letter in which he renounces his engagement.

IDENTIFIES HIS CHICKEN
AT EDGE OF THE BR0ILER
II Happened This Chicken Had Pc
culiar Beak and That's the
Reason

G.. c. MAIN, a chicken fancier liv-
ing at No. 697 Riopelle-st., once had
a bird that he fed by hand. That Is
the very reason that one Wladislaus
Robitz butcher at No. 9S3 Riopelle-
ST., was in Police Justice Stems
court, Friday morning. Main says
that within the last few weeks, he has
missed Is chickens. Among them
was the handled bird. Unlike its
brothers and sisters. IL was unable
10 pluck the festive kernels as they
were strewn in its path. In police
court, Friday, MAIN said that he found
his favorite foul. dressed and ready
for sale at an outrageous price per
pound. lying on the Robitz counter.
He said there is no way TO identify
an ordinary chicken after IL Is killed
and dressed But this was no ordi-
nary bird. There was no mistaking
the curvature of the beak. According
~, Judge Stein decided to hold Robitz
pending further investigation.
Robitz, IL appears, was interested in
other industries than the chicken bust
ness. IL appears that he was quite
handy at a card game known as "21.
Joseph Czyczytowoicz AYERS that he
went TO the Robitz shop for some pork
chops, In payment for which he tend
cred a $40 bill. Robitz didn't have
the change and rather than burden his
books with such a name. he offered 10
play little game OF cards with Joseph
for the chops.
Joseph won and was invited TO come
TO the Robitz habitat on the following
night and play some more. He did
and he says that within 20 minutes he
was stung TO the tune OF $l12.50 and
a $40 diamond ring. Joseph also says
there are others. He AYERS that John
Johnowski, saloonkeeper, at st. An
tome and Willis-sts. lost $240 in the
same pastime. John Miemiecz, saloon
keeper at Chene and Farnsworth-sts.,
was victimized to the tune OF SOS and
Louis Koslowski, saloonkeeper on
