FAVORS THE SETTLEMENT,

Mgr. Merry del Walls Report on the NIani-
toba School Question.
WINNIPEG, Man., Oct. 20.-A letter
has been received in this city which
purports to contain the text Of the find
ing in the school question based on the
report of Mgr. Merry del Val. The
finding, as outlined in the letter, is re-
garded as taking a favorable view of
the settlement reached between the
federal and local governments. It
states that "where interests differ but
do not clash, the church desires that
there shall be harmony" This is in
terpreted to mean that both church and
state have an interest in education, one
in religious and the other in the secular
phases, and where both can attain their
object without q sacrifice of cardinal
principles in one system Of schools,
these may be adopted by the church.

Luetgert Tries to Keep Up an
Appearance of Indiffer-

! CHICAGO, Oct. 20.-The defendant In
the Luetgert case passed another night
of suspense. At o'clock the jury had
gone to bed on cots which were placed
in the courtroom, an it was announced
by Judge Tuthill that even though by
one chance in million the jurors
sshould wake up and agree upon yer.
dict there would be no announcement
and the courtroom would under no Cir
cumstances be opened until 10 O'Clock
in the morning
A few minutes after 8 o'clock Judge
Tuthill appeared at the criminal court
building and being admitted alone by
the bailiffs at tho entrance ho passed
quickly upstairs, giving positive orders
that nobody should be admitted to the
building under any circumstances.
Judge Tuthill went directly to the
courtroom where he was told by the
bailiffs in charge Of the jury that sew
eral of tho
Jurymen Were Almost Exhausted
by the ordeal to which they had been
subjected during the last 80 hours, and
that if they were not allowed some rest
it would certainly result in some of
them becoming ill., The jury also sent
word that there was no immediate
the circumstances the judge gave or
ders that they be permitted to drop the
case and 60 to sleep. The cots were
quickly dragged into the courtroom
and within a few minutes every juror
was stretched out at full length and all
consideration of the case was off until
they should wake in the morning.
Judge Tuthill, after giving directions
that all things possible should be done
for the comfort of the jury, left the
building for his home.
All Kinds of Rumors Anoat.
There were rumors of all kinds afloat
during the evening, all of them being
to the effect that the friends of Luet-
CERT on the jury were weakening. 1t
was known during the day that the
vote stood to and in the evening the
rumors were tpat it was 10 for the
death penalty and 2 for acquittal. A
later story was that it stood for hang
ing and for acquittal. Juror Harley
is admitted to be the stout friend of
Luetgert on the jury, and he who is
leading the fight for the acquittal.
Over in the Jail Luetgort was during
the evening anxiously awaiting word
from the juryroom. He tried as usual
to keep up al appearance of indiffer.
ence, and, as usual, made failure
OF it.
