The Jones a. Laughlin company's
property represents an investment OF

about lo,SOO persons. The plant has a
capacity of 1000 tons of ore daily.
The decision reverses judgment OF

that the company. by tearing down
three furnaces and replacing them
with four new ones Of immense size
and using in them a fine ore dust,
caused the stacks of the plant to emit
clouds of dust which injured his prop
erty.
The supreme court opinion, among
other things, says the right OF the

build and operate its furnaces as to

For a time there threatened to be q
disagreement in the jury. The jury
was brought before Judge Adams, who
asked the cause for the long delay.
He was told that eleven jurors had
agreed, but the twelfth stood alone.
The court admonished the lone juror
that the expense OF new trial should
not be incurred because of him failing
to agree with the majority OF the
jurors A precedent was quoted show
ing that the majority of the jurors
should decide the case before them
and a verdict be rendered accordingly
The Jury was then told to go back and
poll it's vote once more. Soon after
the jury reported, bringing in YER
dict, but Judge Adams found that the
third count in the indictment had not
been considered and again he sent the
Jury back to consider the case. without

turned.
The third time the jury entered the
courtroom the result of it's delibera-
tions was announced and United
States Senator Burton stood convicted
on the charges brought against him in
