BARNES
TELLS STRANGE STORY
Says She Was Dragged from
Taxi, Robbed, Locked Up
and Beaten

San Francisco, Aug. 24.-Fellowing a
tale of an abduction from iitney bus
by three well dressed men, and deten.
ton in room for more than 36 hours,
was told by Angelica Barnes. The po-
lice are searching today for the jitney
driver to learn why he allowed the
men to drag the woman from his car.
Miss Barnes, who made frantic ap-
peals over a telephone Tuesday, was
found by detectives in Market street
hotel. She told of attending a motion
picture show Sunday night of hiring
a jitney to take her along Market street
for fresh air, and of three men entering
the iitney. The men, she says, dragged
her from the car and put her in q room
on Eddy street, robbing her of 5000 and
beating her senseless.
Monday afternoon the men left her a
moment and she tried to telephone for
help, but the men, returning, took the
receiver from her and knocked her
down. Tuesday, she says, she escaped.
There were several bruises and discolor-
atoms on her body as evidence of the
beatngs.

New York, Aug. 24.-The New York
Evening Sun financial review today

Irregular price tendencies marked the
greater part of today's session with
movements at times distinctly in favor
of lower levels, without, however, the
accompaniment of active selling or any
particular change in sentiment regard
ing the prospects of further improve.
ment in market values. The street was
conservatively bullish for the immed.

ers and commission house customers was
to proceed with greater caution pending
the outcome of the railroad labor con-
troversy and apparently to await de-
velopments affecting prominent muni

rumors suggested was having financial

BOYS Do NOT REALIZE
MAGNITUDE OF CRIME
Lovelace Brothers Self Con-
fessed Murderers, Play
Happily in Jail Yard

Twin Falls, Idaho, Aug. 24.-Facing
murder charges, Harold and Lynn Love
lace, aged l2 and IL years, played hap
PLY about the juvenile ward of the
county Jail today. They apparently had
no thought whatever of the killing OF
+. T. Hamill, to which they have con
fessed.
Since their arrival in prison the boys
have been bathed and clothed in new
outfits. They have rugged up method
of playing "one ole cat" with the Jail
wall as backstop. 1t is evident that
they are not doing any worrying about;
their predicament, they have no horro;
of the Hamill killing and no concern
about the whereabouts of their mother
and stepfather. Every effort to locat,
the parents has resulted in failure.
The date for the Lovelace prelimin-
airy hearing has not been set. 1t will
be held up until the district attorney
decides whether he shall go ahead and
prosecute the boys on straight murder
charge. Lynn, the younger, is alleged
to have actually fired the shot which
killed Hamill after the latter surprised
the boys robbing his house. Harold is
held as an accomplice.

Washington, Aug. 24.-The climax in
the negotiations to prevent the threat.
ened general railroad strike appeared
to have been reached at 2 clock this
afternoon. AT that hour the sub.com-
mittee of eight railroad presidents, rep
resenting the greatest systems of the
country, met with the full committee of
10 executives to put up for discussion
tentative plan of settlement.
This plan included acceptance of an
eight hour day proposition, similar, at
least, to that proposed by President
Wilson.
Concession Of the eight hour day was
TO be offset, 1t is understood by assur.
ances CT immediate consideration by
the interstate commerce commission of
re-. nests for ibtp increases. remedial
Legislation for the railroads by congress
anu the creation of a permanent com.
mission to settle future labor disputes
A big clash among the presidents was
confidently Predicted. A first indica-
'ion OF this broke out during the ses-
siohs this morning when discussion
or possible terms of settlement result.
cd in strong declarations from some of
the most Lrominen. executives against
acceptance Of aLy peace proposal which
included IN cighrt hour day such as Of
fered by resident Wilson.
AS result, one of the leading execu
tlves after that conference broke up
said the situation "looked very seri.
ous.''
After confc; ring With President vii.
son today Judge Chambers of the Fed.
eral Board of Mediation and Concilio,
ttuh discussed with the subcommittee
OF executives what they had in mind
regarding commission to settle labor
differences IN the future.
That there will be determined fight
against acceptance of any proposition
regarding al eight hour day with 10
hours pay was indicated by n large
number of executives today. They con
tinued 70 issue statements calling the
president e eight hour idea "preposter.
ous and impracticable.
The president is known to feel that
the situation has improved and hopes
for successful termination of the ne.
gotiations.
