Mr. English will be fol lowed by- Mn Ritchie, who will consume most of the remainder of the afternoon session. Then County Attorney Slabaugb closed for he state.. He.. argued at great length, covering the ground In minutest detail. , . '.. The arguments of the attorneys appeared to be as strong a drawing card with the public as' the testimony was. The same large crowd was la the court room when the session was begun that has marked the hearing from the beginning. The crowd followed the argument '.of the lawyers closely and laughed at their jokes and repartee. The bailiff hod' to rap for order several .time. . Identification of Crowe. In his summary of the evidence Mr. Fitch called attention to the' Identification ,of Crowe and his pictures by a number of the wUnesseqi.an4.-Lhe) tact that, he ,wa seen with Callahan,, who. was Identified by Rddle Cudahy as the inair who acted as hi guard in the Grorer street house. He referred to the letter written to Father Murphy and declared Crowe'a connection with it waa clear. He quoted the letter at some length and pointed to it as positive evidence of the guilt, of the defendant. In closing he reminded the jury it was not a question between Edward 'Cudahy and Crowe, but between the state of Ne braska and Crowe, and he urged the jurors to bring In such a verdict as would be a credit tq them In after life and to the state of Nebraska. ! Mr. English began sneaking at 10:25. He first referred to the rula, of criminal law that presumes the defendant Innocent untli he is proven guilty, and then congratulated the jury on the nearness pf the end of the trial.' "It ha been a Week of anxiety to the de fendant .and his attorneys," he said. "We have seen arrayed against us all the power, wealth and Influence in the state. We saw endorsed on the back of the information the names of, nrnety-five. witnesses, lay and clerical, police and private, forty-five of whom have been called to testify. Our anxiety has been whether this defendant wilt be restored to the walks of life he is fitted tar walk In,- or whether he will be obliged to suffer the torments of con demnation." - Qoestlona the Money Deal. . Mr. English said under tne evidence no man wth a regard for the solemnity of his oath could have an abiding conviction that the. $15,0(0 In gold had over been paid to Mr. Cudahy. He said none of the witnesses had testified to fteeinr the color of the money and only Mr. Wallace, vice president of the Omaha National bank, had counted or weighed it and then no one knew when or how. He spent most of the time before the noon adjournment in discussing the identi flcatlon of Crowe and laid special stress on the fact that the witnesses who Identified lilm described him differently, some of them Exclusive Styles o2K3 The style that will appeal most to the heart of every mother Is the little box pleated diesa mad for the baby boy of 1 and 1 years, thrse may be had in white or pretty checked ginghams, with buster brown collar and cuffs of white pique, and are very boyish valuea you will a -e appreciate, at U.96. $1.6. $1.45 and I.

He also pointed out dlscrepencles in the description of the mustache on the man identified as Crowe. He referred to the "light man" as the hero of the melo drama which Is making its second appear ance In court. The principal attack was .on the evidence of Frank Glynn, who Identified Crowe aa the man who telephoned Mr. Cudahy from the livery barn. He reviewed the testi mony of the three witnesses for the de fense who said Glynn had told them he was for Crowe and Crowe was not the man who called at the stable. "Whoever that man was," ho said. "God only knows, But It violates every principle of Intelligence to suppose that Pat Crowe would have gone Into a place where ho waa known to do his telephoning and thus practically give himself into the hands of the police." . . Defense All Afternoon, - Mr. English and Mr.' Ritchie occupied the entire afternoon in their arguments and it waa after' 5 o'clock when Judge Sutton announced the court would adjourn. The members of the jury and the others in terested in the case expressed a preference for a night session and he announced the hearing would be resumed at 7 o'clock. In his closing arguments Mr. English dis credited the handwriting experts who Iden tified the signature of Crowe on the receipt aa the same writing as that on the Murphy letter. He said there waa no evidence the letter was ever In the hands of Father Murphy and' openly charged it was a forgery perpetrated by Plnkerton de tectives who were after the reward. He said the defense had not introduced much evidence, as it relied on the weakness of the case made by the state. Mr. Ritchie, who followed him, had been talking only a few minutes when he was Interrupted by Mr. Slabaugh, who objected to references to the attitude of the news papers. ' Judge Sutton told him such refer ences were Improper, as ' the newspapers hud been kept from the jury during the trial. Mr. Ritchie replied that he did not like to be gagged and said he was only going to thank the press for the treatment his side of the case, had received and he did not like to be Interrupted while he was giving thanks. This remark caused a rip ple of laughter and some applause in the audience, which Judge Sutton sternly re buked. Conrt Rekikri Andleaee. "I want It distinctly understood." he said, "that there be no 'applause. If we can't prevent it any other way, we will stop pro ceedings right here long enough to clear the court room. You are welcome to re main as lung aa you do not interrupt the proceedings."

Everybody, he said, re membered as soon as he heard it waa a millionaire's child that he knew something about the case. He told the Jury a rich man like Mr. Cudahy did not need the pro tection of the courts as much as tho poor and lowly and those who are looked upon by some with prejudice because they are of another color. He discredited the identification of Crowe and his pictures and declared all of the witnesses were mistaken when they thought they saw Crowe. He cited a number of cases to show the uncertainty of circum stantial evidence and declared that all of the evidence In the case was circumstantial. He called attention to the lack of evidence that the defendant or any of his confeder ates took the money alleged to have been left on the Fremont road by Mr. Cudahy, The flight of the defendant, he said, might have been due to the fact that he was accused of crime by persons ef wealth and Influence. He said the prosecution in this case was due to the fact that the police failed to convict Crowe of the shooting of Officer Jackson. Ho placed, stress on the fact that Father Murphy had not been called to tell about the receipt of the letter that was Intro duced and doubted the story that any priest would give up a confidential com munloation of the kind for tho purpose of a prosecution. He also attributed the letter to Plnkerton detectives. He talked until 5:15 o'clock when adjournment waa taken. As indicating something of the keen local Interest felt In the outcome of the case The Bee' telephones were busy early In the night with Inquiries about the result of the case. The first person who wanted to know "How Mr.. Crowe came out" was a woman, and numerous inquisitors were women, though many men had a little curiosity of the same kind.

The Ger man government's proposal to give the United States this favored treatment is only for a fixed period, m-obahlv so as to afford time to conclude more permanent arrangements. The position of the German aoveniment is one of uncommon difficulty because both industrial and agricultural interests have been pouring in memorials and petitions to the chancellor and other ministers urrlnv the government to stand firm and not hand over to the United States for nothing or next to nothing privileges for which other countries have given eoual return. in kind.

MITCHELL PRESINTS LIST OF DEMANDS It I Referred to Special jmhrom. mlttee ef Keren from Esrk fide i Ootloelt lor Settlement Use. NEW YORK, Feb. IB. The special cale committee of the United Anthracite Mine Worker of Pennsylvania appeared before the presidents and officials of the coal mining companies here today and sis tod In general terms the propositions It desired the operators to grant and then retired to formulate In detail the demands. Before the conference adjourned, two subcommit tee- of seven men each were appointed, one representing the miners and the other the operators, to take up Jointly the ques tions at issue and endeavor to reach an agreement. When these committee have completed their work they will make a re port to the conference. The utmost good feeling prevailed during-the meeting and there were many signs that all matters at Issue may be settled without resort to a strike. The conference, so far aa It re lated to the coal companies, was the most representative that has ever been held. Every coal company in the anthracite region was represented. President Mitchell of the Miners' union was the spokesman of the employes and made a speech that waa tvell received by the operators. The meeting was held behind closed doors in the general offices of the Trunk Line asso ciation and lasted less than an hour. After the conference the following statement was given out: Joint statements. The following joint statements were Is sued after the meeting: There was a full representation of the mine operating companies and the miners. The meeting was called to order with Mr. Connell In the chair. - Mr. Mitchell addressed the meeting, stat ing In general terms the proposition de sired by the miners, stating that the same had not been entirely formulated In detail. After a brief discussion it was concluded that the mine owners and mine operators should each appoint a committee to repre sent them In the future In reference to the matter, the committees to consist of seven each. The following 'were appointed to represent the miner: Messr. John Mitchell, John Fahey, George Hartleln, v. n. ueurey, jonn . Gauagner. i. Nlcholls. John T. Dcmnsey. and the fol lowing to represent the mine operators: Messrs. Baer. Truesdale. Kerr, v liicox, Williams, Thomas, Cake. The understanding was after the com mittee terminated their work they should report to the committee of the whole. An adjournment was then had, with the understanding that the committee would arrange for further' meetings Beyond the Information contained in the statement given out, nothing could be learned as to what occurred at the con ference. It is believed, however, that the demands are substantially the same as those made public at the time of the meet ing of the miner at Shamokin last De cember. These demands call for an eight hour day without any reduction in wages, for employes paid by the hour, day or week, a uniform wage scale for all classes of employes; a 10 to JO per cent Increase in wages; a reconstruction of the board of conciliation and the recognition of the union. There are other grievances of a minor nature. gnbcoinralttee at Work. Immediately after the adjournment of the conference the - miners' representative re turned to their headquarters where the sub-committee . held a preliminary meeting to discuss plans.' After an hour's confer ence it was announced that the sub-committee will begin fchtf work of formulating the demands .in detail tomorrow morning. In the meantime the other members of the scale committee will remain In New York for consultation. It Is not known when the miner' sub-committee will be ready to meet the sub-committee of the operators a it expect to go into the minutest de tails In presenting the miners' case. It is probable that they will not be able to make a report before the early part of next week. The union mine workers in the anthracite region have never been entirely satisfied with the award of the strike commission The men gained considerable thiough the award, but they feel that they did not receive all they are Justly entitled to. The principal awards made by the commission in 1903, briefly stated, were: Ten per cent Increase In Wages for all contract miners. Eight hour day without any reduction In pay for engineers employed in hoisting water. Five per cent Increase in wage for engineers and pumpmen, other than those engaged in Hoisting wale,. Eight hour day for firemen without reduction in waces. Nine hour day for all employes paid by the nour, day or week, except those men tloned above. A conciliation boird of six three rep resenting the miners and threj operators to settle, disputes - growing out of dif ferent Interpretations of the commission's award. A sliding scale giving all employe an increase of one per eent in compensation for each increase of I cents In the average price of coal sold in New York harbor abova $4.60 a ton f.' o, b. Him for an Agreement. Before they went into conference today the operators and the representatives of the men were hopeful of .an amlcabla agreement. The experience of both sides In the great strike of 1902 has caused them to approach the present situation in a conciliatory mood. In that contest the mine workers, according to estimates made by the strike commission, lost in wages about IX.OOO.OOO and the coal production fell off :4,WO.0uO tons. The receipts of the coal companies in that year were reducad $46,10u,00U and those of the railroads about $28,000,000, making a total loss In 1903 of about $12,700,000. In 'order to avoid another contest and pot disturb the Industry, the operators are ready to make concessions In the way of the correction of grievances that have arisen during the Hie of the commission's award. This 1 indicated in the letter of President Wlllcox of the Delaware Hudson company to' Mr. Mitchell. The attitude of the miners' UNDER WHICH K1XG.

Now I am fvee, thanks to Post urn Food Coffee. "After finding out what coffee will do to Its victims, I could hardly stand to have my husband drink it; but he was not will ing to quit.

"Th atronger you drink Postum th more load you get; the stronger you drink coffee the more poison you get." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich, There' a reason. union officials during the past week leads to the belief among those who have studied the situation thai the men arc so anxious to have an annual agreement with the operators that they will not Insist upon the granting of all their demands. While the union officials are silent on the sub ject It Is understood that If tho operatots are reasonably liberal from the miners' point of view and an agreement Is In sight, the union will not puh the organis ation to the front and press for Its recogni tion. The operators are a unit against recog nising the miners' sssoclatinn as at present constituted. They have steadily refused to treat with Mr. Mitchell, as a represen tative of the organisation. When he ap peared before the strike commission he was there as a "representative of the anthracite cost mine workers" and not In his official character as president of the union. The arbitrators declined to make an award In "the matter of the recognition of the union beeau the ques tion of the recognition of the union was not within tho scope of Its jurisdiction. Th commission, however, was of the belief thst the suggestion of a working agree ment between employers and employes embt dying the doctrine of collective bar gaining contained many hopeful elements for the adjustment of relations in the min ing rt-gion. Dolan to Mitchell. PITTSBURG, Feb. 15.-When the Pitts burg miners' convention resumed Its ses sions today President Patrick Dolan made a caustic address to the. delegates, re plying to the letter of President Mitchell which was read to the delegates yesterdsy by National Vice President Lewis. Presi dent Dolan said in part: I want to say that Mitchell's statements of his letter sre barefaced lies. He claims that the statement in the newspapers last Monday was not written by me. I most emphatically say that It was. I want to go on record by saying that the present wsge scale Is the best the miners ever had. and we did not get It by sellipg out to the operators. John Mitchell and W. D. Ryan are not the only men in the country who understand the Industrial situation. Following President Dolan's remarks there was much disorder among the dele gates. A majority of them took exception to the manner In which President Dolan referred to President Mitchell and the mat ters under dispute. Quiet was again re stored only after National Vice President Lewis made a lengthy address requesting order. A special committee on constitution re ported an amendment to the constitution providing that the officers of the district union be a president, vice president, secretary-treasurer and an executive board of twelve members. The report also provided that a plurality of votes cust shall be nec essary for a choice. A provision gives power to order a new election if they see fit. President Dolan stated that the amend ment was unconstitutional, but that he would present it to the convention. The amendment passed by practically a unani mous vote. President Dolan gave n resume of the proceedings of the Joint conference at In dlunapolis to show he had done what he believed to be his duty. He said he did not have time, to consult his delegation. The committee on resolutions announced It was ready to report a general measure formulated from about ICO resolutions received relative to unseating the officers. President Dolan recalled to the delegates that Mr. Lewis had advised them to go before the executive board with their griev ances, that the executive board was In session all day Monday and Tuesdny and that no charges had been presented to them. MAHANOY CITY, Pa.. Feb. 13.-Every colliery and washery In the anthracite field is being oierated to Its full capacity and this order, it is said, is to continue until April 1. unless It becomes evident In th meantime that all danger or a strike on that date shall have passed. BOYCOTT IS GROWING (Continued from First Page.) volunteers are being raised. It Is reported that the municipal council favors strength ening the Sikh police force by 6u0 men. Unfortunately it is at this Juncture that it hns been decided to reduce the British China squadron. WITES Ol" MIASGHAI HI UTS Agent of American House Tells of In. cldent of Outbreak. SAN FRANCISCO. Feo. 15.-C E. Young, an eye witness for the rioting in Shanghai, arrived here today from the Orient on the steamer Doric. He tells of the Intense antl-forelgn sentiment that exists among the Chinese and predicts that an up rising will take place within the next few months. Young says that L'uO Chinese were killed in the riot in Shanghai and that only the presence of the foreign gun boats at Shanghai prevented the whole sale slaughter of Americans and English men. Young represents a local firm, but because of the boycott he was unahltt to transact any business with the Chinese merchants. Young said: The riot In Shanghai hud its Inception In the aotion of the British consular court I aas in Shanghai on December 18, the day of the outbreak and remained there for the few days following, during which all foreigners were compelled to carry rifles in order to protect themselves from harm. It seems that a Chinese woman, accused of trafficking In slave girls, was haled before the consular court. She was found guilty and sent to Jail. The Chinese pro tested and Immediately a riot was started. The rioters ran from street to street searching for foreigners. Revolvers and rlflea were uxed by the Americans and the Chinese answered wilh volleys of stones. Many were hurt by t lie flying mlHslJe. but I heard of no fatalities among tho Ameri cans or English, tine English woman was attacked and dragged by the hair, she was rescued by a patty of her country men. I know of an Instance where a party of foreigners were driven to "bay bv the mob and were compelled to kill six of" their assailants before they put them to flight. The Chinese government officials, of course, were powerless to put an end to' file uprining and it waa only the warships that brought t lie affair to a speedy term ination. That there will be xroubie In China is AiioCSt a certainty. Ail the Chinese want now is a leader. The hatred of foreigners is there and all the populace want ia some one to stir them to repeat the atrocities of the Boxer uprising. The forclgfiers who visits Canto.i at present does So at the rink of his life. The crowds gather about foreigners in the streets of the city, and on seversl occasions I have seen women insulted by the Chinese. The trade conditions in China at present are frightful. The boycott is aa rigid a ever. Not one Chinese merchant would look at my goods. It Is absolutely use liu.s to endeavor to sell American manu fa.ti.'red goods to the Chinese. In the interior it is worse than in the larger Ciller. WOM tV fl FFRAGIIIT9 AT CAPITAL Appeal Mnde to senate for Federal Uw Olvluc Women the Ballot. WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.

SERIOUS CHARGES AGAINST OFFICIALS President nnd Directors Accused vf Withdrawing Capital Stock and Mnkna Lome Loans to Themselves. CHICAGO, Feb. 15 The Bank of Amer ica, Incorporated last Ix-eember with a capital stock of JiVi.oiio, was placed In the hands of a receiver at 10 o'clock tonight by Judge Chytraus of the superior court on complaint of John B. Kavanaugh, one of the stockholders. The .bill asking for the receivership holds former Judge Abner Smith, president, and three other officials of the bank responsible for the insolvency of the Institution. In the few weeks since the opening of the bank President Smith la charged with hav ing so manipulated securities, mortgages and notes and the stock of the bank that he has obtained amounts aggregating $146, 000. The other three officials who. In con nection with President Smith, are held re sponsible for the alleged Insolvency of the hank are G. F. Sorrow, vice president: Jerome V. Pierce, cashier, and F. B. Creel man, a stockholder and director. It is charged against these officials, together with President Smith, that they had abso lute control of tho bank and it funds. Officials Borrow Money. The operations of President Smith and the other officials mentioned In the bill are said to have been begun before the banii opened for business. Smith is said to then have borrowed money and placed It in the treasury to deceive the state Into believing that the stock had been paid up. President Smith was one of the prime movers In the formation of the bank, having sub scribed for 70,0rO of the stock.' In order to prevent. If possible, a panic and a possible run on tho tmnk. It was decided to file the bill for the appointment of a receiver late tonight. Judge Chytruus and the clerk of the superior court hnd been asked to be In their offices and agreed to do so. Shortly before 10 o'clock attorneys representing Mr. Kavanaugh appeared with the petitions for a receiver. Notice had been served previously on President Smith, but he did not appear either in person or by attorney.- After reading the bill, the court entered an order appointing Daniel J. Hcaly, a stockholder, receiver. Bonds of 150,000 were furnished ond Mr. Hcaly took charge of the bunk. Capital Stock Withdrawn. Among the specific charges made against President Smith are: That before the bank was certified by the state auditor. President Hmitn bor rowed money and paid it Into lliu bank to cause the requisite amount of stock subscribed for by them to appear as paid on the books so that the full amount of money represented oy tne capital stock was on deposit. That Immediately after the examination by the auditor and after the bank had commenced to do business rinnin and otners depleted the stock by withdraw ing the money they had dfposited in pay ing for stock subscribed by them. That President Smith borrowed liO.Ouo from the bank, giving in return notes signed by IiIh wlfo and brother-in-law. whlcn arc de clared to be of little value. That within a few weeks after the bank opened for business Smith secured loieoo Horn the bank for himself, giving In return mort gages on real estate which are said to be inadequate security. It is also alleged that President Smith entered into a contract with F. U. Creol mnn, a stockholder, by which the latter was to subscribe to 50 shares of the stock and was to be permitted to withdraw 1160. (nO from the bunk at any time he wished. This. It Is stated in tho bill, was done anil Creelinnn hHS withdrawn nearly &)M, givinK In exchange drafts on other cor porations, he was interested in.
