WOMAN A PRISONER,
EVEN IN PUBLIC, Of
ADM|RER, SHE SAYS
Man She Refused to Marry
Kept Pistol Trained on Her
From Pocket, Her Tale.

San Francisco, Jan. 5.-Philip
Whitney, 30. of Kansas City, was ar
rested by a police detective Thursday
after the police had received informa-
ton that he had held Mrs. Maud Haux-
horn, 20, also Of Kansas City, pris-
oner at various hotels and other
places in the city for three days,
much of the time at the point of a
pistol, in an attempt to force her to
marry him. A charge of threats
against life was placed against Whit
ney and he was released on $1,000 bail.
Relatives of Mrs. Hauxhorn here
notified the police that Whitney had
followed her from Kansas City, whence
she had fled to escape him, and was
holding her a prisoner here. The po-
lice say they learned that, even when
the couple were riding on the street
ears, Whitney held pistol at the
girls side, hidden under the folds of
her coat, so that she would not at
tempt to escape.

SW|F IS SALES
DROP MILLIONS
Chicago Packers Used
Fatness of War Days
to Keep Balance.

Chicago, Jan. 5.-There was a loss
in inventory values of Swift Il Com
pany, Chicago packers, of 100000, 600
during 1921, Louis F. Swift, president
of the company stated in ADDRESSING
the thirty seventh annual meeting of
stockholders.
However, during the prosperous
years of the war; Mr.. Swift contIn-
ued, 1--WE provided for the serious de-
cline by appropriating large amounts
of surplus in order to maintain the
company in sound financial condition,
enabling us to continue the payment of
regular dividends. We paid dividends
of 8 per cent, amounting to S12,OoO.ooV.
THE sensational fall in live stock
and packing house products which was
in progress in 1920 continued for the
first four months of the fiscal year
just closed.
''Since then there was not any ser
ious fall in values. but inventory loss
es for the first quarter, together with
the continuing slack trade due to bus
mess depression, made it impossible
for us to show profit for the -
months under review.
THE prospects are that Swift &
Company will continue to pay divi-
dends."
Mr.. Swift stated that gross sales
during the past year were little over
$500, 100000 which was a reduction,
he said. from last year. when sales
were slightly over S1,100.o00.o0o. The
decrease in tonnage, howeyer,was only
about six per cent, he said
Wages were reduced 2212 per cent
during the year, 1919 cents in March
and further reduction of 10 per cent
ON November fifth.
The balance sheet on November 5,
1921, as announced by Mr.. Swift,
showed surplus of S61, ,739.991. cap
ital stock at s150,00O,o0O and total lia-
bilities including capital stock and
surplus of 1851 .S43, ,S6f.

ON CASH DEAL IN

Chinese Delegation De-
cides. to Accept Propo-

Double Change of Mind
Brings New Deadlock
in Negotiations.

Washington, Jan. 5.-{By The As
sociated Press. THE Shantung con-
troversy again appeared hopeless Of
solution late Thursday when. after a
two and half hour session between
the Japanese ana Chinese delegations,
devoted to consideration of the return
Of the kiao Chow-T Tsinan-Fu railway,
the latter announced that, unless the
Japanese accepted the Chinese plan
for payment for the road in cash or
installments by Friday, the converse
TONS would be ended. Only re-
newal of the good offices" of Arthur
J. Balfour and Secretary Hughes, it
was said could bring about a meet
ing of the two governments.
The Chinese delegation definitely
refused to accept the Japanese pro-
posal for payment of the railway by
japanese loan, Wellington Koo, Chi
nese delegate. said. but the Chinese
made a concession regarding immediate
deposit of 32O0O.O0O Chinese dollars
as cash payment.
Chinese Grow Defiant
"Unless the Japanese accept either
this offer or our alternative offer to
pay in installments at Fridays meet
ing, that viii be the last meeting" DR..
koo said.
When the conversations were aban-
doned two weeks ago after dead
lock had been reached, both on the
| mode of payment and management of
the disputed road, the Japanese had
demanded m immediate cash deposit
of the purchase price. If they decided
to accept cash for return Of the road
at the end of nine months, as they
tentatively agreed to do II other de-
tails could be worked out
This, the Chinese said, they were
| unable to do, but agreed to make three
priod. the last to be on the date
of actual turning over Of the road.
/. China Offers Alternative Deal
The Chinese Thursday agreed to
| make the immediate deposit in full by
placing at the disposal of the Japa-
nese resources of the Chinese bankers
consortium.
The alternative Chinese plan pro-
yided for payment over period OF
L. years with an option to take up
| the remaining notes after three
years. This offer still held good, DR..
koo announced
No intImatica could be obtained
from the Japanese concerning their at

that they stood firm ON their insist
ence on lending the Chinese tho
money with which to buy the road
back.

Using $29,416,500.

Waukegan, ILL.,, Jan. 5.-(By The

particulars in the conspiracy case

non Curtis, Grant Park banker, filed

nois, the defendants, together with

Of state funds and retained it "for
their personal and private property
and the property of others unknown.
This is the substance Of the states

tails of the alleged conspiracy to de-
fraud the state by retaining interest
money collected during the terms OF
Mr.. Small and Mr.. Sterling as state
treasurer. ...M.--
Among things when the state says
it expects to prove are that:
The defendants falsely pretended to
the state that the practice Of deposit
of state funds was with a bank,
whereas it was not"
That certificates of deposit issued
by the Grant Park bank for state
funds were false, fictitious and bogus
instruments"
That the defendants falsely pre-
tended to receive about 2 per cent
per annum for the use Of the state
funds, when the interest actually
ranged from 5 to s per cent.
That Governor Small and Lieuten-
ant Governor Sterling maintained two
sets of books, one of a vault fund
deposited in bona fide banks, and the
other of a "safe fund deposited in
the Grant Park bank
That the funds loaned to the Grant
Park bank were in turn loaned to
