Jury Still Out aad Unable to Agree
on Verdict.
CHANCES AGAINST LUETGERT
Judse TuthiII AIleNed the Weary Jurors to
Sleep Last Night and Try TO Agree
on Verdict Today.

Chicago, October l9.-Another night Of
suspense Is ahead OF the defendant in
this Luetgert case. AT O'Clock the Jury
had gone TO bed on cots In the court
room and It was announced by Judge Tut
hin that even though by one chance In a
million the Jurors should wake up and
agree on a verdict. there would be no
announcement and ths court room would
under no circumstances be opened until
10 o'clock tomorrow morning.
A few minutes before o'clock Judge
Tuthiil gave positive Instructions thai no
body should be admitted to the building
under any circumstances. He was tod
by the baE1ns in charge Of the court
that several OF the jurymen were al
most exhausted by the ordeal to which
they had been subjected during the last
a hours and if they were not allowed
some rest It would certainly resul: in
some Of them becoming III. The jury
also sent word that there was no lmme-
diate prospect Of an agreement. and un-
der the circumstances the judge ordered
thai they be permitted to drop the case
and go to sleep. Cots were dargged into
the courtroom and within a few minutes
every Juror was stretched at fuE length
and all consideration of the case was
of until they should wake in .he morn
ing. They have not agreed as yet"
said the judge, when he left the court
house, and when / became convinced
that there was 1tt.e prospect OF their
doing so, and saw how weary some OF
them were, l told them to go to sleep
and try TO agree in the morning. There
would be no use in keeping them up all
night, because in the first place two or
three Of them would In a short time be
utterly incapacitated by fatigue, and no
agreement could ever be obtained from
men nervous from loss of steep and ex-
haustion."
There were rumors Of all kinds anoat
during the evening, all being to the ef-
feet that the friends OF Luetgert on the
jury were weakening. II was known
during the day that the vote stood to
4, and tonight the rumors were that it
was 10 for the death pena1ty and for

A NEW IDEA
In GOVERNMENT
HONDURAS SuRRENDERS HER FISCAL
AFFAIRS TO A SYNDICATE.
New York NilliOnaires Undertake the Task
OF LiuQidatiug the Indebtedness
OF tue Country.

New York. October ls.-News has
reached wal street that Honduras
syndicate composed of the Vanderbilts,
Astors and other New York million
aires has resumed control OF the customs
house and banking institutions OF the
republic and has commenced the task of
liquidating the Indebtedness of the coun-
try. The congress of Honduras has au-
thorized the issue of S75Oo,OO0 to the syn
dlcate. They are to run for 25 years
and are to be applied to the settlement
OF the foreign debt of the nation. This
experiment Of government by a syndi-
cate is the latest and most fin de steele
outgrowth of the tendency to trust con-
troll that has developed in the United
States or anywhere on earth. Back in
the sixties the financial troubles of
Honduras had their beginning. Reyolu-
tions and internal dissersions has utterly
demoralized them, the richest in natural
resources of all the Central American
countries.
In the effort to liquidate the indebted
ness the government issued bonds but
spectators got control of them and the
nation only realized about slOOOOCO. This
involved her hopelessly in debt, but she
has been struggling under the burden.

THE wELBURN CASE.

San Francisco. October 19.-The federal
grand jury has taken up the welburn
matter. Ignoring the United States attor-
ney and the SPECIAL revenue agents il
has directed the issuance of subpoenas
and today will begin an investigation on
Its own account. One of tho subpoenas
is for wetburn himself. the theory being
that since he did not commit the embez-
elements complained of, as the trial fury
has said, someone else must have done
so. and he may be able to tel the jury
who did.
Immediately after the return of the
verdict acquitung welburn the latter tod
Special Agent Thrasher that he could
ten him who the guilty man was.
Thrasher declined to discuss the matter
with him at the time.

The Way Some People Do Il.

The Journal representative was in a
certain hardware store the other day
and his experience there is worth re-
cording. While talking over the posi-
bilities Of the future. with the proprie-
tor. the door opened and a lady en-
tered. She wanted to know the price
OF certain size of glass. She quibbled
over the price for some minutes and
then 1t came out that she had had
some repairing done on her house and
she was looking around to see IL the
carpenter. who by the way. did not
buy his glass at that store, had cheated
her in the footing upfof his bill. The
lady left That's the way they do it"
said the proprietor, "'they go some
where else and buy their goods and
then come here to see If 1 won't tell
them they have been cheated"
Here the door opened again and a
man entered. He had bundle under
his arm. He wanted to know the price
OF strap hinges. He was told that the
price depended upon the size and the
number purchased. Well. he did not
want ITO buy hit .6fid not know but
what he might want some another day.

He could not seem to get onto the size
he wanted to know the price of. so the
proprietor helped him out by asking
him If he wanted to know the price of
hinges like those he had under his arm.
Well. yes. that was about it, Then he
was told that it depended upon whether
he bought a box or carload. The
man went out. the proprietor looked
disEustedt and the reporter laughed
1t really was amusing. Here that
POOR man had gone and bought a set
Of strap hinges without having taken
the precaution to have made a tour of
the shops looking for the cheapest
hinge, and now he was afraid that he
had been cheated and wanted the
trader with whom he did not trade. to
tell him whether or not the other
trader had soaked" him. If that same
man had dozen of eggs to sell. he
would have carted them all over town
to get an extra cent.
