JURY FAILED TO AGREE.
No Verdict Reached in the Miller and
Johns Case

Cincinnati, Oct. 19-The jury in the
Miller and Johns case reported that it
was unable to agree. 1T was discharged.
Miller and Johns were accused of
conspiracy to defraud the United States
government by soliciting bride from
John ]. Ryan in connection with the
mails.
Judge A. c. Thompson was an hour
and quarter delivering his charge to
the jury The court paid special atten-
ion to the. testimony of John J. Ryan
and instructed the jury not to throw it
aside on account of the character of the
witness, but to give it due consideration
wherein it was corroborated by other
witnesses or documentary evidence
that had been admitted.
The charge stated that there must be
an overt act to establish a conspiracy,
and that while there was no direct tes-
tinony to show this except in the testi-
mony of Ryan as to what Johns had
proposed to him, yet there was much
circumstantial evidence to that effect.
The main question for the jury to set
tie was whether Miller had knowledge
of what took place between Johns and
Ryan and whether Johns was author
lied to speak for the assistant attorney
in the office of the assistant attorney
general for the postoffice department.
The court told the jury that there could
be no verdict finding one of the de-
PENDANTS guilty and the other innocent.

STEAM GENERATOR
Vaporizes Water Instantly and Boil
ers Are Not Required.

Scientists and engineers declare that
through an invention by F. s. Smith,
of South Bend. Ind, the engineering
world is to be revolutionized and in
future engines win not require boilers
to generate steam. Instead they will
be supplied with the steam generator.
Smiths invention has been completed
within two months, and the United
States patent office has allowed II out
of 10 claims made by the inventor. The
invention is the work of four years.
Every expert who has seen the gen
orator tested is enthusiastic in declar-
ing the principle to be the mechanical
discovery of a century The advan-
tages claimed for the invention are that
it is non-exploding and simple to OPP
crate. In the instantaneous vaporiza-
ton of water, whereby the fluid is
flashed into steam. the generator has
decided advantages over the present
steam engine.
In contrast with boilers, the invention
does away with safety valves, steam
gauges and water glasses. There is no
storage of steam, zas every. ounce is
used eas fast as IT is generated. AM
other advantage over the boiler Is that
Smiths device is compact and requires
less than half the amount of space. A
great saving in amount of fuel is
promised. New York Herald.

TONIGHT,S COUNCIL.
Will Adjourn Early The Interurban
Franchise.


This evening the city council will
meet at Z o'clock instead of 8 o'clock.
in order that the councilmen may COM
plete their business and attend the lee
ture by Bishop MeCabe.
Owing to the fact that the franchise
for the Manhattan interurban line Will
not come up for action. there is nothing
of any great Importance to demand the
counciIs attention w F. Weber,
chairman of the streets and walks COM
m1ttee. said this morning:
We will not take up the interurban
railway franchise this evening, because
it is not in shape to be presented to
the council We will have another
meeting of the streets and walks COM
mittee next Friday to take up the con-
sideration of the ordinance
There is undoubtedly a disposition on
the part Of the members of the council
to see ~ it that the city is protected
by the proposed franchise ordinance.
While the councilmen are willing that
every possible concession and induce
ment should be offered the company,
there is going to be opposition to any
blanket franchise proposition. There
seems to be no reason why the road
should not select it's terminals at the
present time The city does not care
to lay the foundation for a secondary
street railway system in Topeka.
Another matter which should not be
overlooked by the council is a provision
In the franchise requiring a liberal cash
guarantee bond. 1t goes without say
ing that every franchise should have
such a proviso attached, and most
franchises granted in recent years have
thus protected the city. 1t Injuries the
credit and standing of the city to have
It's franchises hawked for sale by spec
ulators, and a guarantee bond is the
only protection the city has. The peo-
pie who are at present connected with
the road are doubtless sincere in their
desire to build up good railway prop
erty, but there is nothing to assure the
city that the franchise will continue
III such hands. The city is giving an
option on its streets. let the company
give something in return
Inc |ineWood Park railway put up a
$4,000 bond; the Continental Gas com
pany put up 1000; the Topeka City
railway put up $4,000, and if the new
interurban line means business it can
well AFFORD to give the city similar
guarantee
