CLOSING BAR ROOMS
But Nine of the Twenty in
Durham Will Open
Today
Especial to News and observer.)

Durham. N. c.. June SO.-The city aid
ermen created great stir in bar-room cir
cles last night when a special meeting was
held for the purpose of passing on the
saloon license question. Heretofore there
have been twenty bars in the city and to-
night at 10 o'clock eleven of these closed
to open no more. Tomorrow there will
be but nine saloons in the city. The mat
ter was considered in executive session,
and no one knows the reasons assigned for
turning down those who applied for IL
cense and had been doing business in the
past.
This is evidently the first move towards
closing the saloons in Durham. The nine
saloons that were granted license last
night can run until the first of next jan
uary. but in the meantime an election
will be held to ascertain whether or not
the people want to stop the sale of liquor
in Durham. 1t is not known whether
this election will be for absolute prohibi-
tion or a dispensary.
Some of those refused license have beer
in business here for number of years.
and the action of the board was small
sized sensation.

Wilmington, N. c., June 30.-A personal
encounter between ex-Congressman Joh1
D. Bellamy and Chief of Police John J.
Furlong occurred today at a meeting OF
the board of aldermen, held for the
purpose of reconsidering the rejection OF
an application for liquor license at a
previous meeting
Mr.. Bellamy was addressing the board
as counsel for j. S. Sneeden, the applicant,
whose bar-room Chief Furlong had de-
scribed at a previous meeting as one OF
the lowest places in Wilmington. He
had also made the statement privately
that Sneeden had been before the United
States court,
At point in Mr.. Bellamys remarks in
which he said certain things were un-
true, Chief Furlong stepped up and said.
That's lie, / have the proof of it in
my hand"
Mr. Bellamy seized walking cane on
the table and dealt the chief a. blow in
the face. lively exchange followed be-
fore members of the board could separate
them. Neither combatant, however, was
injured beyond a few scratches on Mr..
Bellamy's face.
Chief Furlong subsequently apologiZed
to the mayor and board and to Mr.. Bel
lamy, but the latter refused to accept
the apology, and called upon the board
TO investigate the conduct of the chief and
deal with him accordingly.

Wilson, N. c., June 3O.-A mistrial is
the outcome. After many hours spent in
deliberation the jury in the Jones murder
case at $3.50 this morning filed into the
court room and announced that an agree
ment was impossible, eight of the jurors
being for conviction of the defendants and
four standing out for acquittal.
The Jury were all in their places in the
jury box, and all eyes were fastened upon
them. Since the close of the court it
is learned that the twelve purors stood as
follows:

Upon this Judge Shaw addressed the
Jury and the spectators assembled in the
court room, his earnest, yet deliberate
words iinpressing all who heard him with
their wisdom and force.
He told the jury they should have
brought in a verdict if possible. Further
than that he could not go and be just to
both the State and the defendants. He
said a decision in this case was OF great
moment to the community and that the
trial had cost the county much
While there has been some criticism as to
what two or three jurors have said, there
is no evidence upon which the court can
act. though the court has given its con
sent to the solicitor to investigate the
charges.
He said he felt it was due the jurors,
especially to Messrs. Lilies and Hayes that
this investigation should be made in order
to purge whatever odium might rest upon
their good name, because of any suspicion
or rumor
Judge Shaw complimented the jury upon
their conduct during the trial, saying that
though they had been on duty for several
days, not word OF complaint had como
from them, and that he never had seen
ceedings, speeches Of counsel and charge
of the court. 1t was the first jury, said
His Honor, within his experience from
whom the verdict had not leaked out, and
this was due to the faithfulness of It's
officer, Mr.. Branch Paschall, who though
many times importuned, had refused to
give out any clue to the proceedings.
Judge Shaw instructed Clerk of the Court
Bardin to enter on his docket the fol
lowing:
''The Jury retired to consider the case
Saturday afternoon at O'Clock and has
been kept continuously together up until
this morning at $780, The jury informs
the court it is impossible for it to agree,
and the court so finds, and a juror
is withdrawn and the court declares this
q mistrial.''
With reference to the statements as to
some of the jurors being unduly Influenced
Judge Shaw said if there was any one
who knew of any evidence which would
tend to show this condition of affairs
such could be reported to the solicitor and
he would stay to investigate.

Mayor Smith That Money

Heppner, Or, which. with it's fnhab-

a pitiful appeal for help.
Last night, at II o'clock, Mayor
Smith received the following telegram
from the mayor of Heppner:
I'VE are in dire distress. Need money
badly
Frank Gillian, Mayor"
AS Mayor Smith leaves this morn
ing for a trip out of the city on busi-
ness, he was in a quandary what to
do, but finally turned the telegram over
to Acting Mayor Haas, with the rec
ommendation that he take steps at once
to have a sum of money appropriated
from the city's emergency fund.
The commercial bodies will also be
interested, and between the two it is
hoped to give the relief asked for. Act
ing Mayor Haas will receive the tele-
gram today, and immediate steps will
be taken in the matter.
TT is certainly an appeal that st.
Paul should answer without delay"
said Mayor Smith last night, "and I am
only sorry that L cannot be here to help
it along. President Henry Haas, of the
common council, however, is amply
able to take care of the situation, and
I know that it will receive attention
from him"

Special to The Globe.
WASHINGTON, D. c., June 49,
More or less credence is given to the
latest report that Secretary Root in
tends to leave the cabinet in short
time. There is a general impression
that the secretary is in grooming to
become the successor of President
Roosevelt and that his departure from
the cabinet will be the first step to-
ward the actual realization of this
ambition.
According to the talk among the
politicians here, the secretary of war
is going back to the lucrative law prac-
tice in New York which he forsook
when he obeyed President McKinley's
summons to the cabinet. The law will
have his undivided attention only until
the next gubernatoriaI campaign opens
in New York. Then the secretary is
scheduled as an aspirant to the nonli-
nation. If he succeeds and is elected
no time will be lost in framing up his
fight for the presidency.
