COMPELS APOLOGY
BEFORE THE TOWN
Bings Fire Bell to Summon People
and Makes Dentist Bead Insult
ing Letter Writer Ostracized.
Be KuliMii" Wire from 'Ihe Associated I'lcs ,
Paoll, Intl., Jan. 0. A sensational
scene was unacted here Saturday
when a young woman, under threat of
horse-whlpplnpr, compelled a dentist to
publicly read an offensive letter he hnd
written her. and to make an apology
to the large crowd which surrounded
him, and finally to piomlf-e to leave
town. Tho man In the case is Dr. C.
D. Driscoll, a man of family. The
woman Is Miss I3va Miller, foimerly 11
resident of Paoll, but now employed
as clerk In a store In the hamh't of
Saltlllo, a few miles north of Paoli.
Driscoll had written Miss Miller a
letter In which he confessed his love
for her and asked that she meet him.
The letter was of an offensive nature.
Miss Miller came to Paoll today., nn.rt
swore out a warran'tToFTiu! arrest of
Driscoll on the eharg-c of horsewhip
ping his wife. She lay In wait for the
return of Driscoll in the marshal's
custody on his way to Jail. She had a
horsewhip concealed In Hip folds of
her dress.
Dris-coll did not come. Instead he
called 10 his aid a number of friends
and refused lo go to Hip station. Tlie
young woman had the lire alarm boll
ruiig, and the entire town was called
out.
Surrounded by friends she had now
told her story lo. and followed by al
most the entire population. Miss Miller
went to tlie office of Driscoll Intending
theio to horsewhip him. She was de
terred by two revolveis pointed from
the door. Finally Driscoll was induced
to leave his office, under an agreement
that he was not to be horsewhipped.
When Driscoll appeared he was con
fronted by Miss Miller and the town.
Holding the horsewhip In one hand
she extended him his letter in the oth
er, and demanded that lie lead it pub
licly, lie did so, and then admitted
that he wrote it, Theieupon .Miss .Mil
ler compelled Drii-toll to apologize to
her publicly before tlie entile town and
also to the people. The people of the
town now demanded that Driscoll
pack up his effects and leave town
within :!l hours. Finally Driscoll
agreed to leave the city within 110
days, never to leturn,

CHINESE COURT
RETURNS TODAY
Ministers Have Been Requested to
Keen tlie Leoatlon Guards
Within Quarters.
FOREIGN FAMILIES
MAY SEE THE SHOW
Btiilding3 Along the Line of Parade
Have Been Tendered Them There
Is Much Criticism on Part of Oth
er Foreigners Who Think That the
Court's Return Should Be Ignored.
By 1'Aclusite Wire from The Assoelatnl I'rcu.
Pckln, Jan. 0. The Chinese olllclals
have requested tho ministers of the
powers to keep the legation guards
within their quarters tomorrow. In or
der to prevent tho possibility of a col
lision between the Chinese and foreign
troops on the occasion of the court's
return to Pekin. The ministers will
comply.
The families of the foreign diplomats
will occupy tho buildings which the
Chinese government hns tendered them
for the purpose of viewing the parade.
There Is much criticism of this course
among the foreigners, who are not
satisfied with the fact that the minis
ters alone are to remain In the lega
tions. They believe that 'the event
should be completely ignored. They
say that the presence of any members
of the legations will be construed as
being a sort of homage to the court,
and will be thus proclaimed among
the people.
Many foreign soldiers and a few olH
cers today violated the government's
request to keep off the streets, which
have been cleaned and decorated for
the royal procession. This Is likely to
create resentment.
Hallroad traffic between Pekln and
Pan Ting Fu. except on the court's
business has been congested since the
arrival of the court at Pan Ting Fu.
Special trains, for two days past, have
been bringing the court's baggage here.

From Hairlsburg," which was the

PAN-AMERICANCONGRESS
Question of Arbitration Will Be De
termined One Way or tlie Other
Today at City of Mexico.
By liTtluslte Wire from The Associated Vrtsi.
.Mexico City, Jan. C It ls thought
now that tho arbitration question in
the Pan-American conference will be
determined one way or the other, either
tomorrow or AVednesday. Whether or
not the solution will be the disruption
of the conference will denend on
whether the delegations who favor
compulsory arbitration will accept ;i
compromise measure; to be offered to
them tomorrow on lines suggested by
W. J. Buchanan, of the United States
delegation. The Mexican delegation,
however, will present the compromise.
This afternoon some of the extreme
advocates of compulsory arbitration
were somewhat afraid of tho defection
of the Mexicans, and hh a matter of
fact It is almos.t certain that the com
promise to be offered by the Mexicans
will Involve some modification of their
own attitude.
It Is pointed out that when the Mexi
can delegation proposed a plan where
by all the delegations were to apply
for admittance to The Hague confer
ence, while those favoring compulsory
arbitration were to sign un agreement
among themselves embodying that
principle, they were under the Impies
slon that this solution was agreeable
to all the delegations. Including the
Chileans. The Chileans say they were
never agreeable to this compromise.
The Mexicans, therefore, feel that as
the compromise was suggested under
;m erroneous Impression on the part of
Chile, it Is Incumbent on them now to
suggest some other plan, with the hope
that, It will be agreeable to all. The
ten delegations favoring compulsory
arbitration are determined lo bring the
mutter to an Issue this week.
