one JURYMANB OBDURATE
Cannot Agree with His Associates on the
Diokersm Verdict,
FIRST BALLOT STOOD NINE TO THREE
Judge Smith Likely to Keep Them
out Mt Least Until Monday Night
IL They DO Not Arrive mt
Verdict sooner.

At IL o'clock last night the jurymen in the
Dckerson case had agreed not to discuss the
situation any longer for a time and had
stretched themselves out on the floor to get
little rest, with the understanding that no
further effort would be made until today to
reach a verdict.
All day yesterday rumors we're thick as
to the situation in the jury room, but authen-
tic information was very scarce. 1t was
learned later in the day that one of the
Jurors had determined that he wanted to
reld all Of the evidence over again, while
the other eleven members of the panel were
ready to vote and return a verdict.
When the case went to the jury II wan
the general opinion that verdict would be
returned within few hours and the delay
has been a source of surprise to the at
torneys on both sides of the case. Attorney
Bruce admitted early yesterday that he had
no hope of securing conviction and his
partner, Mr.. Swan, stated that the best he
could look for was hung jury Both Mr..
Bruce and Mr.. Swan went to Atlantic last
night and will not return.
The most reliable Information from the
jury room is that on the first ballot on
Friday night the vote stood nine for ac-
quttal and three for conviction. Yesterday
morning the ballot was ten fer acquittal
and two for conviction and before noon all
Of the men but one were ready to vote for
the acquitta of the accused. The twelfth
Juror has obstinately refused ~ yield fiCm
his position for conviction. Report has it
that the Juror who is determined to get a
verdict of conviction is Juror Kiter, who
was not considered by the attorneys on either
side as being apt to cut much of figure
in the deliberations Of the case. He appears
to have developed some unsuspected will
power and is making a record for him
self as a slayer against majority.
1t is understood that Judge Smith will
keep the jury out until Monday afternoon at
any rate, II 1t does not gree upon verdict
before that time

A motion was then made by c. B.. Woodward that a committee of six be appointed to confer with the manage ment of the Street Railway company to ascertain if transportation could not be obtained by way of Tomlinson bridge instead of by the Cedar Hill route and for a nve-cent fare instead of the present ten-cent rate. The mo- ton was seconded and passed by a unanimous vote.
 The following were appointed on the committee: To represent Morris Cove, Henry Shines, Captain E. J. Morris; East Haven, r. B. Street, c. c. Kirk ham; East Side, c. F. Woodward, Will liam Woodward.
 After good deal of sdilatory talk it was voted to hold another meeting two weeks from last night to hear the re- port of the committee as to the out come of their conference with the Street Railway officials.
 President Corey of the Street Railway was asked if he could tell when a meet ing could be arranged between the off, cials of the road and the committee and said that he could not tell, as the directors of the road were widely sepa- rated.
 The committee had a long conference with President Corey after the meeting, when it was at last decided that the committee should meet the president and superintendent of the road this evening, when it could be more deffn- itely settled about calling a meeting of |, o,{ of the east siders
 It is said by those who favor the change that although the New Haven company has no tracks laid to the Green by way of Tomlinson tridgc, o1l act of the legislature allows any com pany to use the tracks of another cleo tric line for one-half a mile when the court declares it is a. public necessity, and that the residents of that section of the town will endeavor to prove that fact
 Another plan Is suggested, namely, an agreement between the Fair Haven and New Haven companies by which transfers could be adopted, costing the passenger five cents for the trip. As the two companies have not made any such agreement it is thought they will not unless forced to.
 President Corey of the New Haven company says in regard to the matter that the company now runs 108 cars to the Green, eighteen hours out of twenty four:
 That section of the town has bet ter service than any other locality, so isolated, in the town. They have cars every ten minutes, while places like City Point, Centerville, Westville and the George street divis- ion only have a fifteen-nnute sched- ule. Residents of Swan avenue have twenty minute cars and the people in Montowese only have a twenty-six- minute schedule.
 'The road could save. $25 a day by not running cars to Four Corners dur ing, the winter months, as they are not needed. Why the people in that vicinity would not fill one car and they want us to run cars where it is impossi- ble. To run cars to the center by that route is not a public necessity"

Movement in the Stock Market Yesterday
 Were Exceedingly Erratic.

Were Exceedingly Erratic.
 New York, Nov 23.-The week open ed with rather dull and uninteresting condition of affairs at the stock ex- change. The movements were extreme ly cratic throughout the session, and speculation was without a decisive tone, being under complete control of the room traders.
 The early cables from London, re- porting lower quotations for American securities there, and an advance in the posted rates of sterling exchange, oc- casioned disappointment, but the bulls immediately took measures to counter act these influences. Sufficient buying orders were placed in various parts of the list to bring about rise of 1s to h per cent at the start.
 The improvement, however, was short lived owing to the unfavorable charac- ter of the October statement of the Chi cago and Northwestern Railroad conl- pany and because of a second advance of one-half cent in the posted rates of sterling exchange, to $4.S4@s4.871s.
 1nG ledulnS SLOckS ylelueu T2 10 IM per cent, with the grangers in the lead. The expectation of continual light earnings by those roads was mainly responsible for the weakness. St. Paul fell from 76A to 75, Rock Island from 708s to 69A, Burlington and Quincy from 1918 to 7S3s, Sugar from 117a4 to 1167s Manhattan from 97A to 95B Leather preferred from 661a to 65, and Chicago Gas from 763s to 751a
 The losses in the other prominent shares were merely fractional In the light trading Sugar was run up to HTS on the smaller shorts, and there was a rally otherwise of 4s to & per cent. Speculation closed dull and firm in tone. Net changes show advances of A@B per cent.
 The bond market was generally low CT. The sales footed up S1,41S,000.

PRESIDENT AND CUBA.

Washington, Nov 23.-This afternoon an official close to the administration said: "The general tenor of the pres idents message with regard to Cuban affairs will be conservative but at the same time explicit. It will take the ground that the persons and property of American citizens in Cuba must be protected, but there will be no other recommendation that can be regarded by Spain as offensive. Whatever is said will be conservative and calculated to quiet rather than to increase apprehen- sion.'

INJURY TO THE BIoGRAPH.
The Engagement Postponed at Poli's
 Wonderland

The Engagement Postponed at Poli's
 Wonderland
 Casters American biograph, which was to have been the feature Of this weeks bill at Polls Wonderland thea ter got out of order yesterday before the afternoon performance, so that it's exhibition had to be postponed. An at tempt was made to operate it again last night, but it again broke down. The fact that the machine sent here is just out of the factory probably ac- counts for the mishap, but Manager Poli has decided to postpone the en- gagement for the present, or until the machine is in perfect working order. It is a. matter of regret, and with none more than Mir Poli himself, that such mishap should have occurred, but he prefers to put off the machine entirely until such time as it can be assured to work perfectly.
 The fact that the biograpll is in high ly successful operation at Roster & Bi- ars, where MT. Poli himself saw it, and where many other New Haven people have been surprised at it's marvellous pictures, is proof that the biograph is all that it had been represented to be in the advance advertising.
 The remainder of the show is thor oughly good one. M. La Roche, who was starred here last summer as the feature of the Barnum and Bailey cir GUS, gives a very sensational exhibi- tion with the revolving globe. Encased in the elusive sphere, he works it up and down a lofty spiral runway, the act being highly sensational MT. Burke and Miss Forrest introduce very we'll seasoned comedy sketch, MT Burke be- ing very finished funmaker Others who contribute to the gayety of the performance are the Waterbury broth CTS and Tenny, the Misses Leslie and Shattuck, Ward and Brown and MT.

WANT BETTER FACILITIES
MEETINGS HEED BY REsIDEN1S or
 EAST SIDE LAST NIGRT.

They Ask Street Railway Company to Run
 Cars to the Green by Way of ToinHnson
 Bridge will Also Introduce a Bill in the
 Legislature for Cheaper Fares.
 The residents of the east side turned out in full force last evening to see if something could not be done to get the New Haven Street Railway com pany to run their cars direct to the center of the city by way of Tomlinson bridge, instead of by the present Fair Haven and Cedar Hill route. This pro- posed route, it was urged, was fully two miles shorter than the present one and would, if adopted, be a saving in both time and of money to the residents of the east side.
 Last week definite steps were taken in initiating the movement by numer- ous circulars plentifully distributed among the residents of East Haven, Morris Cove and east side calling the meeting to discuss the question, which was held last evening in St. Andrews chapel at the Four Corners.
 The chapel was packed, about 150 be- ing present. and the greatest interest was manifested in the meeting. Presi- dent Corey and J. J. Lawton, one of the directors of the New Haven Street Railway company were interested spectators of the proceedings.
 c. E. Woodward, one of the leaders in the movement, called the meeting to order.
 MT. William Roberts was elected secretary of the meeting and MT. Me- Clellan chairman.
 MT. G. E. Hitchcock made the follow ing motion:
 '"rhat a committee of two persons be appointed to draft 8 bill to be pre- scented to the legislature prohibiting any street railway company from col lecting more than five cents for trans porting any person from one point to another within the limits of any town ill the state"
 The motion was seconded by F. J. Morse and unanimously adopted by the meeting.
