PROPOSAL FOR PACKING PLANT
Mass Meetlaar of Business Mra Looks
with Favor oa the McSweeney
Offer.
If the people of Council Bluffs will con
tribute a cash bonus of $126,000 and twenty
acres of land, the city can secure the es
tablishment of a packing house and stock
yards was in brief the proposition made
last night by Charles E. McSweeney, tem
porary president of the American Dressed
Beef company, at the mass meeting In the
city council chamber called by the execu
tive committee of the Commercial club for
the purpose of discussing the proposition.
Considerable Interest has been aroused
among the business men of the city by the
proposal to establish a plant here, and th
meeting was attended by over 100 of the
representative business and professional
men of th city.
Mr. McSweeney stated that his company
planned to. establish an ' absolutely inde
pendent packing plant lo this ctty, provided
:he rltlsens would pV their ?share. ? Ths
plant would have .a capacity for killing 500
head of cattle. 1.000 hogs and 600 sheep a
day, and, with the stock yards, would ne
cessitate an expenditure of $350,000, or pos
sibly $300,000. The distributive sales of the
plant, Mr. McSweeney estimated, would be
between $15,000,000 and $20,000,000 'a year and
would mean a tralnload of packing house
products from the plant every working day
In the year.
In return for Investing Its money here
the company would require, Mr. McSweeney
stated, that it be given a . sit of twenty
acres for the packing house and stock yards
and a bonus of 25 cents on every head of
cattle killed up to H,Mlsi otVer arortif, a
cnBh bonus of tm.Wb. Mr. MoBwreeney
also vgewted that; the oompany ' would
like to have $30,000 uf the stock subscribed
for by local . capltallats, but it would, not
make this a condition on coming here.
The men back of the company, whose
names Mr. AicSweeney said ha wss not in
a position to make public at this time, were
bankers, large cattle raisers and others
well acquainted with the packing business.
The.-o were men Interested in the company,
he said, who owned vast herds of cattle In
New Mexico, Arlsona, Oklahoma, Texas,
Colorado, Wyoming and Montana and who
controlled millions of acres of graslng land.
The company, he said, was at present ne
gotiating for establishing a stall tir plant
in Leavenworth, Ran,, and would later ts
tabltsh one at some other point, probably In
Texas.
Th plant here would be absolutely lnde
pendent of what Mr. McSweeney termed
the "Big Four," or the beef trust, and It
proposed to eliminate all stock yard
charges, thus making a big saving to the
cattle shippers. Such a saving, ha esti
mated, would amount to $150,000 a year.
No definite action was taken, but the sen
timent of those present was that the bonus
could be raised. Mr. McSweeney . will to
day look at the sites suggested.

factional 'troubles In Iowa and boldly ac
cuwa hia political enemies of misrepresen
tation and tha garbling nnd forging of dis
patches In order to place him In a false
light before the people. He states that It
was In answer to a forged dispatch In a
Des Moines paper, misrepresenting what
ho siM Kl at Washington, that he doclared
plainly that there was not now and never
had been, so far as he knew, any differ
ence between him and the president on the
tariff otiestlon, and he certainly had never
discussed any such supposed difference with
the president. It was In trply to an ac
cusation of J. W. Blythe to the effect that
the governor was antagonising President
Roosevelt that he declared his perfect
agreement with the president and he felt
that ho had as good a right to state his
own views as had his opponents. Iowa
papers have been filled with dispatches In
regard to the alleged differences between
the governor and the president, and It Is
rpresented that men In Washington are
trying to Induce the president to denounce
Governor Cummins and his tariff views
under threat of his losing New England If
he does not do so. Governor Cummins
states that he has not given any reason for
Such statements or efforts.

lines similar to the law In Chicago- and
elsewhere for Juvenile offenders. The su
pervisors are enthusiastic over the bill and
declare that It will accomplish much good.
They directed their legislative committee
to give It earnest support.

DEFENDANT GROWS HYSTERICAL
Exciting Scenes In Court Room at
Trial of Young; Woman for
Robbery.
MILLER. S. D., Jan. 27. (Special Tele
gram.) On account of the bullet found In
her shoulder. Inflicted mysteriously the
night of the attempted robbery of the Collin
drug store and the chloroforming, binding
and gagging of the clerk January 12, Hattle
Pllcher, charged with the crime, nearly
fainted In the crowded courtroom this
afternoon. Upon the solicitation of Judge
Pusey, her attorney. Justice Douglass con
tinued the case till tomorrow at 9 o'clock. ,
The young school teacher labored under
suppressed excitement all day. The hear
ing commenced at 11 o'clock this forenoon.
When her lover, Dick Romlg. went on the
stand for the state she became partly
hysterical, alternately laughing and sob
bing softly. At the close of the first day of
the hearing only one scrap of evidence had
been secured showing any connection be
tween the assault Jipon the clerk. Wllber
Quirk, and her receiving the bullet found
in her right shoulder. Quirk testified that
while two persons with pointed pistols
commanded him at 2 o'clock the night of
January 12 to quaff laudanum which one of
the robbers had procured for him, he pro
tested. "Drink at once," said the taller of
the two robbers, "or we will shoot you In
stantly; we have noiseless guns." The next
morning, when Miss Pllcher waa found In
her room at the Henshaw hotel with a bul
let wound In her right shoulder, the young
woman claimed her sister-in-law had shot
her at 7:30 the night before. Landlord
Henshaw remarking that It was Impos
sible, that the shot would have been heard,
the girl replied, "She did It with a noise
less gun." The similarity of the expres
sion used by the robbers at Collins' drug
store and Miss Pllcher's remark waa the
only link connecting the two Incidents.
Six out of thirty witnesses were ex
amined today. Miss Pllcher will go on the
stand tomorrow. She says she will clear
up the mystery of her shooting, but will
deny she had anything to do with the at
tempted robbery of the drug store. '

the commander-in-chief of the republic's
army, who persuaded them to a banquet
and sat down to a table with Rodrlgues.

differences were forgotten In the good cheer
that followed.

city the Indians will return to their homes
and order their followers to perform the
new ceremony of baptizing the Panama
flag as a special honor to the new chief.
