Disagree ment In the Case of Inspector
Mclaughlin In New York.
NEW YORK, May 1.-THE jury in the
Mclaughlin, case was locked up until after
noon. 1t was alleged that they stand ten
for acquittal and two for conviction of the
police inspector. upon the charge of ex-
tortion.
The Jury entered the court room at 1920
o'clock, having been sent for by Justice
Barrett. When they had taken their seats
the Judge said: Il have received state
ment from you which never expected to
receive from any jury, and you tell ME that
ten of your men have agreed to verdict
and that two of your number decline to
agree. The most extraordinary part of the
thing. and one that must be met. is that
one of your number absolutely refused to

Then there isa a question of veracity be-
tween you and the other jurors added the
Justice: .ft was a logged refusal to further
consider the case, and l want to say TO you
and Also TO 'Jnr6r Stefff that your names

Now. sir, l desire to say that you have
violated the jurors oath as to the man
fate Of this court. which was that you DO
give your views and listen to views of
others, and you have no right to stand
apart from the other jurors
Burbridge said that he had not disre-
garded any testimony, and that he had
lone all in his power to come to an agree
ment ar
Juror Stein wanted a reasonable doubt
explained to him. This was done by JUS
tice Barrett. He then asked that the testi-
mony of Schlossinger be read to him.
This was ordered by the Judge.
At this point Col. James asked that the
Jury be discharged, on the ground that 1t
could not come to an agreement. Justice
Barrett refused to do So.
Col. James also took exception to Justice
Barrett's definition of a reasonable doubt

incredulity. We began showing one another

N. CONSu LTATlON
A Decision Believed to Have Been Reached
in the Income Tax
circumstances Seem to Point to
Law CONSTITUTIONAL.

The nine Justices of the United States
Supreme Court held a consultation at the
Capitol today from IL until 2 o'clock, and
there is every reason to believe that the
result of the consultation was, to reach a
conclusion on the income tax questions
1t Is presumed that the usual custom of
the court will be followed. and that to one
of the justices in the majority has BEEN
assigned the work Of preparing the opinion
of the court. = g.
The justices in the minority may each
write a separate dissent. or not, as each
individually prefers.
Significant Circumstances. 'u
The consultations are held in secret, ard

Is ever made prior to PRONUNCIATION from
the bench, but some circumstances con-
nected with the session rather point to the
vote of Justice Jackson. having been cast
in favor of the constitutionality of the law
The principal reason for this statement Is
to be found in the fact that after the
consultation of all the members of the
court a private conference was neid pc
tween Justices White. Harlan and Brown.

previous hearing, and Justice jackson.

The manner of Justices Harlan and white
who were the most strenuous supporters OF
the law in the previous conference also LED
to the Inference, that they felt that they
were in the majority.

These incidental facts, of course, are by
no means conclusive, but as straws they
point to the uphelding of the law. f-r

Richard Vaux's Unique Checks.
from the PHILADELPHIA Record.

FrOm the IhlIduPIpHRi hetOru.
Among the eccentricities Of the late
Richard Vaux was his strong aversion for
the use of bank books or checks. The
famous ex-mayor had a bank account, of
course In fact. he had several of them,
but he never drew upon them in the regular
way. through the medium of checks. When
ever any one came to him with bill Mr..
Vaux would pay 1t in very unique way.
The back of an old envelope or a fragment
of paper Of any kind or size would serve
for a check. and upon this he would scrib-
BILE the amount of the bill, the name Of the
creditor, and his own characteristic sigma

strange custom, and none Of Mr.. Vaux's
hbme-made checks were ever turned down.
