The Jury in His Case
 Fails to Agree.
IT WAS EQUALLY DIVIDED
SIX STOOD FOR ACQUITTAL, SIX
 FOR CONVICTION.
The Second Trial Will Be Commenced After the Becker Forgery Case Has Been Dis-
 posed Of.

Walter Rosser, the youthful soldier who shot and killed Henry Hildebrand in the Spreckels Market on September 13 last, must again stand trial for his crime. After being out all night the jury reported to Judge Wallace yesterday morning that 1t could not reach an agreement. It was stated that as to matters Of law regard ing the crime all agreed, and were goV- erned solely by the instructions of the court, but as to matters Of fact they were divided, and hopelessly divided, six of the Jurors Insisting that the prisoner should be acquitted while six were equally de- termined to hold the prisoner guilty of murder in the second degree. Such being the case, Judge Wallace discharged the jury.
 General Barnes. of counsel for the de- fendant, then asked the court to set as early a date as possible for the second trial, explaining that the father of the young man was not wealthy and could Ill afford to remain here away from his business. Judge Wallace stated that 1t would be impossible to set the case for i'm mediate retrial, as the Becker forgery case must first be disposed of' This will occupy over week, but at its conclusion Rosser's case will again be taken up.
 Considerable surprise was expressed that the jury failed to find the defendant guilty of nnansaughter at least. Upon the charge sible to find the prisoner guilty of murder in the first degree. The malice and pre- meditation necessary to complete this crime were wanting. The question there fore remained, Was Rosser's crime com mitted in the heat of passion, through drink or other excitement, or was he suf- fering from the effects of poison and un- conscious of his act? Six of the jurors while six declared that he was. Such be- ing the case, another trial must be had.

RESTRICTIONS UPON
 EXPRESS COMPANIES
TO HAVE THEM UNDER THE IN
 TERSTATE COMMERCE LAW.
A Movement to Get Congress to Re- taliate for the Nonpayment of
 the War Revenue Tax.

The refusal of the express companies of the United States to pay their part of the war revenue tax is likely to prove their undoing. There is movement now on foot among the merchants of the entire country to have the business of the ex press companies put under the interstate commerce laws, which will be the means of clipping their wings to such an extent that exorbitant rates, such as have been charged, will be prevented. The personnel of the people leading this movement is about the same as that of the antt-ticket scalping organization and the body that is now making move toward getting a re duction on postal package rates and an international equalization of the same.
 Last evening a banquet was held in St. Louis at which the anti-ticket Scalplng project was discussed, with a view to having the next Congress make a law pro- hibiting the practice of ticket scalpng. At that gathering some of the wealthieSt merchants, wholesalers and railroad men of the middle West and West assembled. This is the second meeting of it's kind, the first being held in Chicago on October 5. From information obtained by the Califor nia Manufacturers and Producers Asso- citation from their representative, Frank L. Brown, now in the East, the next ban Quet will be devoted to the subject first mentioned, the bringing of the express companies under the interstate commerce laws. Already the people of the entire United States have been discussing the case of the companies who have refused to pay their part of the war tax, and the 'helplessness of the merchants and the public in general. Test cases that were supposed to settle the matter have been heard in many parts of the country, and still the companies compel the people to pay the tax of both.
 The question was raised as to what could be done to force the derelict corpor- ations to feel the might of the law and the suggestion was made that it could only be done by having Congress pass a bill plac- ing the companies under the interstate laws This would throw them under the supervision of the Interstate Commerce Commission, to which body the companies would have to submit a report of all their business. The national committee would compel sliding scale on the rates, similar to the long and short haul clause under which the railroads operate. Furthermore. the express rates would be passed upon by the commission to determine the justness thereof. Another point would be that the companies would have to publish any change in tariff. Still another interesting restriction would be that an express pool would be impossible
