HUNTER JURY DISAGREES.
Justice Ga,nOr's severe Remarks
mansis the IIaif.Breed.

Jerry Hunter, the half breed Indian who
shot a dozen or more men AZ North Beach
on the evening of Labor Day. a gain reaped
the benefit of divided jury yesterday In
the supreme Court, Long Island city. This
was the second time on trials on different
indictment, that a jury refused 10 agree.
This time Justice Gaynor said.
1T was a disgrace to the county Of Queens
that a man like Mckenna was shot down in
cold blood and /, il a still further disgrace
that twelve intelligen, men should con-
,ider this case for hours and then fail to
agree. You are discharged. The prisoner
is remanded to the custody Of the Sheriff
without bail.
Hunter this time was tried for shooting
Police Officer Mckenna. Mckenna's eyes
were both blinded totally by Hunters
shots The policeman made pathetic
picture on the stand.
The Jury was out several hours. II
returned to court once and reported itsiei
unable to agree. just ice tarnor sent ~
back, bit II returned an hour later ana
said that II was utterly impossible 20 agree.
II Is reported that when the first ballot was
taken the Jury was evenly divided. The
second ballot showed the same result :.
The third showed eight for acquittal, and
from then until the end the vote stood AT
those figures.
Hunter will now go 20 trial AT the Decem-
her term before Justice Wimot VI. Smith.
His plea was s'lf-d"fence and Justification.
He claimed that Thorp, whom he shot
first. and another man had been fright ening
hs horses and that he shot toward but not
al them, and hitting them was mist AXE
Then Mckcnna came TO arrest him, was
loud and threatening in his manner, made
as il TO strike him and actually fired two
shots. Mckcnna admitted firing one shot
into the air, when Hunter was running from
the barn TO the house.

How 1t Was Done in New Orleans

The city Of New Orleans is not 50 big

the telephone business in it. like anthra-

State of Louisiana. Yet strike there
conducted on the part of the strikers
precisely as the strike was conducted
in Pennsylvania has been treated by the
public officials in manner so different
from that adopted by the officials inter-
ested in the Pennsylvania strike that it
Is worth describing.
The strike by the employees of the telc-
phone company is now of some months
standing. An injunction against rioting
was issued so long ago as Aug. l6,
and there was an attempt at murder
30 late as Oct. n. Recently, Vice. Presi-
dent LoCKMAN, of the International
Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, ar
rived at New Orleans. and the superin-
tendent of the telephone company makes
affidavit that during LoCKMAN's visit 10
him the threat was made that. unless
the strike was settled, the company
should not do business" and this with
en- OPEN suggestion that LoCKMAN and
his men would stop at nothing To
accomplish their purpose. After his visit
to the superintendent, LoCKMAN called
at the office of the Mayor, where the
acting Mayor, Mr., MCRACKEN, was pre-
siding. The Times Democrat, strong
supporter of the PENNSYLVANIA miners.

The Mystery of the strike One AL
legged Reason for II Eliminated.

Mitchell Day had an interesting
significance, apart from questions as 10
the miners obligations to work under
the agreement governing their return or
the effect of their idleness on a public
needing coal, Stopping work for a days
holiday at the sacrifice of hundreds
Of thousands Of dollars in wages proves
conclusivelv that the reason assigned
for the strike by Mr.. JOIN MITCHELL,
namely. that il was to exact from their
employers living wages, was hum
bug, pure and simple.
Such cheerful payment Of great sum
of money, for that is what it amounted
To, for a days holiday cfrectually dis

WASHINGTON, oct. 30,-Senator James
X. Jones of Arkansas. chairman Of the
Democratic National Committee, predicts
that Coler will he elected Governor Of New
York. The Senator called on President
Roose welt to-day and he uttered his pre-
diction To the reporters at the White House.
"The best posted men in New York

doubt in their talk that the Democrats will

it and are confident of the outcome I'm
doubtedly Democrats are getting together
everywhere The tariff and the trust are
bringing them together and healing old
differences.
Then, MIR Jones, who had just come
from the Presidents Office, concluded as
follows:
There is a pretty general feeling that
the President Is opposed to all these things
that the Democratic party advocates
This will help the Republicans. The gem
eral belief in the rectitude, sincerity and
courage Of President Roosevelt is aiding

A Church Congress on the Liquor
Traffic.


The Society of Friends has invited
from Indianapolis. the various Chris
tian bodies " in the United States To send
delegates to a conference on the liquor
traffic The proposed conference Is TO
begin in Washington the second Wednes-
day in March, 1905 The call Of the
Friends breathes that gentle and modest
pety which cndears them even to those
who have the least sympathy with their
tencts We issue this invitation with a
humble realization of the smallness of our
body as compared with many others, but
we do it under deep sense that this duty
has been laid upon us" The " call re-
cites that there il "A want of cooperation in
practical effort among Christians to OPP
pose the evils of the liquor traffic" How
can Christians exert a united influence
in the matter? The Friends admit their
inability TO answer the question, but
they are confident that by united in
quiry and prayerfu seeking for di-
vine enlightenment, with willingness to
approach the subject with an open mind
the united Church may find way by
which we can serve the cause of CHRIST
and the good Of mankind in seeking the
ultimate elimination of this stupendous
evil"
Is there any reason to believe that
such union of Christian forces can he
made? How can the sharp division be-
tween those who would regulate and
ameliorate and those who seek 10 de-
stroy the sale of liquor be removed? One
party would improve the saloons. The
other party would sweep them al away.
How are the radicals and the modcrates
to be brought to the support of any def
mite and practical proposition?
The difficulties in the way seem in
superable, but if the mild Quaker mode
of expression could be more generally
the somewhat petulant criticism Of one
another which too often sets rival schools
Of temperance reformers by the ears
Passion, excess, exaggeration, physio-
logically false doctrines in regard 10 the
effect of alcohol, cannot serve, indeed
DoSitNtlN InJuIt, tllt natural GfoNtn tl
temperance. That growth, now and for
some years past actually observable,
is largely due TO common sense, to i'm
proved habits Of living To the spread of
athletic exercises to a public opinion
which regards drunkenness with disgust
instead of federation, and perhaps most
of all to a perception of self-interest and
the knowledge that in this complex and
many-machned age even the soberest
head has enough TO do to keep itself
clear Sobriety is become self-defenCe.
The practical argument the lower argu-
mcnt, if you will, is becoming more eflec-
tive, perhaps, than the higher moral and
religious reasons.
But a temperance conference Of the
Churches would be interesting for the
opinions which il would elicit, whether
or not an agreement upon a policy could
be had or not The three years and a
half before the meeting will be by no
means too long for the preliminary dis
cussions and proposals. and a confer
cnce called by the Friends ought TO be
irenic in its deliberations.
