Milwaukee. Wis. June IA state
ment authorized by DIR. Adolph Lorenz
Of Vienna was issued tonight TO the
editor oil the Milwaukee Sentinel by
two local physicians. who were hosts
OF DR.. Lorenz during his Milwaukee
visit, answering repeated attacks
which have been made on Prof. Lor-
EMS treatment Of hip dislocations.
The statement Is as follows
20 the Editor of the Sentinel: We
deem IL due to the reputation of our
late visitor and distinguished guest,
Professor Adolph Lorenz, of Vienna,
to contradict the rumors that have
been afoat for some time, and have
in one form or another been printed
in the newspapers of this country, to
the effect that Prof. Lorenz's treat
ment of little Lolita Armour was not
success. Prof. Lorenz treated but
one hip in this case, the other having
been more or less successfully reduc-
ed by other surgeons In a former op-
Grafton by LorenZs method. During
our visit to Oconomowoc, in the course
of conversation. Mrs. p. ID. Armour,
Sr. grandmother OF the little patient,
voluntarily made the statement to us
that the operation performed by Prof.
Lorenz was highly successful. and that
the family is more than satisfied with
the result. that Miss Lolita now runs
about and up and down stairs, and
plays like other children. (Signed)
LOUISE G. NOLTE, M. D."
FRANK PFTSTER, NJ. d."
This is the first statement on this
subject issued by Prof. Lorenz's au-
thorization, and It was only after some
argument that he gave his consent
TO this course.

JURY AND ATTORNEY GUARDED
A Change of enue Taken to Harrison
County, Where the People Are
Really Civilized.

Jackson, KY, June lS.-The jury in
the case of Jett and White, charged
with the murder of ]. b. Marcum, was
unable to agree.
The case has been in the hands of
the jury all afternoon and tonight it
is said that at least two jurors are
holding out for conviction. while the
others are divided. most OF them fav-
oring acquittal. The jurors went TO
bed early and there will be no report be-
fore tomorrow. When the jury retir-
ed an hour before noon 1t was thought
the first ballot was taken before lunch
con and there are conflicting reports
as TO the number Of ballots taken dur
ing the afternoon and night. During
this suspense there has been intense
anxiety about the court house and
about town. discussing what might
follow either a veruict of conviction
or OF acquittal or OF a compromise.
But indications are that the jury will
| finally agree to report that 1t has
disagreed and ask to be discharged.
All hope OF conviction seemed to be
given up tonight. Friends Of the
prisoners are confident as ever that
there will be no conviction and they
are even hopeful OF acquittal.
Il is not thought that the prosecu-
tion for the murder OF Marcum and
others will not stop with this jury IL 1t
disagrees. The next trial will likely
be held by another Judge and the jur-
ors will be drawn by different officers.
After the cases Of Jett and White
were submitted TO the trial jury to-
day at noon. Commonwealth Attorney
Byrd was able to turn his attention
to the grand jury this afternoon, and
his success In getting results from
the grand jurors was apparently not
much better than from other jurors.

Jury refused to indict John Callahan,

burning of Ewen's hotel?"

After this examination. but before
other witnesses could appear, the
grand jury reported recommending
the dismissal OF the suspects. Attor-
ney Byrd refused to allow the men
to be dismissed and the cases were
re-submitted to the grand jury and the
witnesses were examined again this
afternoon. +.
After the jury reported no agree
ment tonight and was instructed by
Judge Redwine to continue its delib-
erations. he said that he had never
expected a verdict on the first night
and that he would hold the jury until
at least Saturday unless a verdict was
rendered before that time. The jury
spent the night at the Arlington ho-
tel under a heavy guard. A heavy
guard was also placed around the
home OF Commonwealth Attorney

Harlowton, June 1.-THE wool ship
ments from this point will be unus'
ually large this year. There are two
good shearing plants here, having
about 26 pens each. Ninety thousand
sheen are looked for at the one stu.
ated near town, and about the same
number for the plant at Bercail, which
is about 20 miles distant.
Both OF these plants are permanent
institutions. One of them is owned
by the American Sheep Shearing COM
pany, of Chicago, and the other by
the Allen Sheep Shearing company OF
the same place. Shearing at botn
plants has begun but will not be In
full operation for week.
Some of the wool growers are hav-
ing trouble booking their sheep at the
shearing pens. as nearly all OF the
plants have as many booked now as
they can shear.

had q number Of business transactions
with him. Burroughs met the literary man
at the door of his hut and offered a warm
welcome. Then he took him on a ten
mile tramp up and down the hills. When
they returned to the cottage he shook hands
warmly with the visitor and said goodbye
and declared that he was the most en-
tertaining guest he had had for a long time.
Not a word had been spoken during the
ten-mile walk and the visit was an absolute
failure, from the editors point Of Wow,
but he did not possess the ability to break
through the cloak Of silence with which
Burroughs had enveloped himself.
Burroughs lived in Washington forty
years ago. He was then an army nurse.
At that time Walt Whitman was employed
in the Treasury department, and chsse two
made the acquaintance of a street car con-
ductor, whose first name was Mike. he

place, where the rent matched The en-
durance CT their pOcketbooks. Mike, judged
by the worlds standard, was the best OFT,
for each month he received $100 in tho
deprecated paper money of the time for
his services to the tramway company. He
still occupies this enviable position, for he
is now the head -baggagemaster Gt one Of
the important stations on the Pennsylvania
railroad.
Burroughs secured a little patch of land
near the capital. where the two made a re-
treat, and this finally became so attractive
to Burroughs that he gave up his govern
ment position. There he tended to the
COW, raised vegetables, watched the trees
grow and studied the bugs and birds, which
were always welcome to his patch Human
beings were not invited there. They an

man and Mike. II is quite likely that he
would not have tolerated them after he
became engrossed in his nature studies had
they been talkative, but whitman could sit
stiH and look at the garden for hours at a
time, while the car conductor could always
remember not to rub the naturalist the
wrong way and keep as silent as his COM
panion. When Washington grew out to the
retreat Burroughs gave up his place. He
is not happy In the noise and hustle Of
civilization. He says he must have quiet.
One of the many unique places this
unique pair visited while in the Yellow
rush. 1t Is q survival OF the old mode of

On the present trip Mr.. Roosevelt has
spent much time in Yellowstone park,
hunting big game just for the fun of see
ing the animals and with no intention Of
harming any. Along with him on this
expedition of Inquiry was John Burroughs,
the eminent naturalist, who holds the Amer
lean championship for taciturnity. He
never talks merely to be saying something
or to be agreeable. When the conversa-
uonal muse Is with him he is the best
company imaginable, but when his inspira-
ton has taken its flight there is about as
much company in John Burroughs as there
is In a deaf and dumb person. He pays no
more atteation to remarks addressed to
him than IL he did not hear them.
AS an instance OF his remarkable ability
to keep his mouth shut, 1t Is related that
an aggressive magazine editor went to
visit Burroughs at his hermit retreat in the
Adirondack a few months ago. He was

Anti IeO Law a Failure

That the anti oleomargarine law passed
by the Flfty-seventh c'S gress at the be-
hest Of the dairy interests Of the country
has proved a failure from the dairymen's
point OF view is the Inevitable conclusion
to be deduced from a careful examination
OF the figures Just issued by the commits
sioneF Of Internal revenne.
II was the expectation Of the promoters
OF the law. says the Washington CORE
spOndent Of the New York Tribune, that It
would practically drive oleemargarine out
of the market, at least as a competitor Of
butter. That 1t has utterly failed in this
object is proved by the commissioners
figures. which show that a total Of 80, 000,-
600 pounds OF oleomargarine has been sold
in the eight months ended February 2s, a
decrease OF only 80 per cent from the cor
responding period Of the previous year,
and a decrease by no means surprising. in
view of the fact that in the first few months
of this period the production was mate
rally curtailed because the manufacturers
were engaged In adjusting their methods
to the provisions OF the new law. Since
what might be termed the readjustment
period the sales have steadily increased.
and II is doubtful IL the next eight months
will show the slightest diminution. In the
judgment of some authorities they will
show an increase.
Out OF the total of 1000, 900 pounds sold
only 5000 pounds was artifclally colored,
and thus subject to the tax of 10 cents a
pound. The remainder was technically un-
colored. and paid the tax of u cent a pound,
I'm lieu of a 2-cent-a-pOund tax III ovided by
the old laws; but this does not mean that
II was white. the manufacturer having so
adjusted the proportion Of lawful lngredi-
ents as to give their product a reasonably
rich color without the use OF artificial
coloring matter" this being accomplished
by an increase in the amount of cottonseed
oil and Of genuine colored butter entering
into the composition OF the oleomargarlne.
Moreover, the government has suffered a
considerable less Of revenue as a result of
the new law. For the eight months ended
February 2S, 1901. the revenue collected in
the form Of taxes on oleomargarine and
licenses to sell the same amounted to ST.
sos. 461.73. Receipts IRON the same sources
for a like period ended February 2S. 1908.
amounted to only $526. 1881, a decrease OF
1887 57ss.

cred oleomargarine has greatly increased.
