A THIRD DISAGREEMENT.
THE JURY IN THE KLEIN ARSON CASE
DISCHARGED.


KLEIN SENT BACK TO RAYMOND STREET JAIL
WHAT THE TRIALS HAVE COST THE COUNTY.
The third trial Of Jacob Klein on a charge OF
arson in the first degree resulted yesterday In
disagreement. At D. m. the jury sent TO Judge
Hurd note saying that they could not reach an
agreement They stood for acquittal and
five for conviction.
The three trials of Klein have cost the county Of
Kings about $4,000. They will long be remembered
as probably the most expensive prosecution ever
conducted in the county. in which the defendant
was man Of so little Importance in the business
social political world. Ii is certainly the most
costly prosecution Of a man of Klen's Importance
that has failed TO result in conviction in this
county.
The three trials have consumed in the aggregate
one month AT moderate estimate the District
Attorneys Office the people $50 900 year. and
onetwelfth Of this amount is 1850 TO be sure all Of
Mr. Backus's assistants. clerks and detectives did
not devote their whole time 10 this case. but
It is safe estimate that all of the time devoted by
Mr.. Backus and his subordinates. including Spe
cial Assistant District Attorney Davis to this
would easily make total Of one months steady
work for the whole force.
COSTS OF THE COURTS.
The CountyS Court costs 100000 a year. and the
Jurors for the County Court last year received
s26730 This makes the two cost the county $l0.560
a month. The two trials Of Klein held In June
occupied the whole time Of the County Court so
estimating them at two-thirds OF the month or
Kleins trials the court cost the people $50 for
the first two-thirds Of a month and a like amount
for the last trial. when both county judges were
sitting simultaneously Twice $3.50 is 800.
1t costs s21H Is a month to run the Office OF Com
missioner Of Jurors 1t Is safe to say that this
Office devoted a quarter Of month TO Mr.. Klein,
and that II will receive 1913 50 for its services.
This then is the reorganization OF the cost to the
people of the Klein trials

What Is said to be the greatest oil
discovery ever made is reported from
Alaska. Some gold prospectcrs several
months ago ran across what seemed to
be a lake of oil. The lake was fed by
innumerable springs, and the sur
rounding mountains were full CT coal.
They brought samples to Seattle, and
tests proved it to be OF as high grade
as any ever taken out Of Pennsylvania
wells. A local company was formed
and experts sent up. They have re-
turned on the steamer Topeka and
their report has more than borne out
first reports. 1t is said there is enough
oil and coal in the discovery to supply
the world. 1t is close to the ocean, in
fact the experts say that the oil oozes
out into the salt water. 1t is said that
the Standard Oil company has already
made an offer for the property. The
owners have filed on 5000 acres, and
are naturally very much excited over
their prospects for fortune.

American Iron In Europe" Is the
subject Of several reports from United
States consuls, published by the de-
partment of state. Mr.. George F.
Parker, consul at Birmingham, Eng
land, writes that for six months or
more steel has been imported from the
United States into Wales for use in
the tin plate trade, and that in jan
uary 1000 tons of steel billets were
shipped from Philadelphia for deliv-
cry in Birmingham. Editorial articles
in the Birmingham Post discuss the
conditions which make the importa-
ton of American steel possible.
Among these conditions are the facts
that in England for some time prices
OF iron and steel have been steadily
rising under the influence Of improved
demand, and that in the United States
they have been falling, due to the
commercial depression. There is moth
ing new, says the Post. in the impor-
tation of American pig iron, which can
be produced now at prices with which
England and Scotch smelters cannot
pretend to compete. American pig
iron has lately been introduced into
the Triest (Austrian) market, accord
ing to a report from Mr.. J. G.. Hag-
gard, the British consul at that port,
at prices with which British iron can
not compete.
