informed the Judge OF their inability
to agree. Crowds continue IN the
neighborhood of the court room.
Soon after noon the Judge received

on a railroad train by the World re-

conviction that the jury stands eleven

he knows that the recalcitrant juror
has warred against him long ago.

pressed his intention to keep the jury
out six weeks if necessary, and not to
dismiss them without a verdict.
Reports state this afternoon that an
other messagewas received from the jury
but the nature oft is unknown. At 3 o.

Stein berg, a Prussian subject by birth,
immigrated to the United States
| in 1S4S, and was naturalIzed in ST.
Louis in 1854. When he returned to
Germany he took with him his son,
aged four years, born in the United
States. The son is now twenty years
old. The question at issue rose as to
the son owing military service to
Germany. The Attorney General
comes to the conclusion that the boy
has two nationalities-one natural and
the other acquired-the father return.
ing to Germany, resuming his allie
glance, the son partakes of the status
of the father, being a minor and hav'
ing enjoyed the protection of the
German government, he, for the time
being or until of age, owes military
duty, the obligations being reciprocal
But when the boy becomes of age he
can return to the United States as an
American citizen, with all the rights
and privileges as such, and would
even be eligible to the Presidency o.
the United States.
