Leaves Question of Guilt
Unsettled
State Insists on a Third Trial
Motion for Bail May Prove
Intellectual

Manhato, Mimi, May 16.--The jury
m the second trial OF DR.. George r.
Koch, accused of killing DR.. L. A. Geb-
hardt at New Ulm NJ. last, was
discharged at noon, lvng unable to
agree after deliberating nearly forty
eight hours.
The jury came into court at a. m.
and the foreman informed Judge Cray
that an agreement was impossible.
The foreman told the court they were
divided seven to five, but he was not
allowed to state whether the majority
favored conviction or acquittal. After
considering the statement for a mo-
ment Judge Cray sent the jury back
for further deliberation and urged
them to endeavor to reach verdict.
Shortly before noon the jury again
came into court. the foreman an
nounced no change in the situation and
Judge Cray dismissed the twelve men
from further consideration of the case.
1t is understood the state will insist
on third trial of the case. General
Childs, leading counsel for the prose-
cution, contends that the placing of
Koch in Jail at the close of the present
trial was tantamount to cancelling his
bail and he will oppose his release on
bond at this time.

killed and approximately 100 injured
by the wrecking of the Cleveland and
Cincinnati express, westbound, on the

exploding car filled with $4,000
pounds Of blasting powder The
wreck occurred in the southern part
0f Harrisburg at l: 40 a. m 1t was
one Of the most terrible disasters ever
experienced by the Pennsylvania rail
road
The primary cause of the wreck
was shifting engine. 1t was going
west slowly when the engineer Of the
eastbound freight train saw it coming
on his track. He applied the airbrakes
suddenly. which caused the middle OF
the freight train to buckle, showing
several of the cars onto the westbound
passenger track. A moment later the
express, one OF the fastest night trains
on the road, came along and dashed
into the wrecked cars. The next in
stant the boiler of the passenger loco
motive exploded. The wreck took fire
and those who escaped began the work
of rescue. Six minutes after the eX-
press struck the freight wreck. the
railroad men say, the flames reached
the car filled with powder. There was
fash and deafening roar. The
earth trembled as though some terrible
seismic disturbance had occurred. All
who were not killed and injured by
the explosion fled from the awful

CHICAGO STRIKE SOON TO END
Labor Trouble Expected to Terminate
In Short Time.


Chicago, May 17.-That the present
strike will be called off probably with.
In forty-eight hours and certainly nv
the end Of the week is the assertion
now made both by members of en-
ployers' association and the conserva.
tive element in the ranks of the team
sters.
Chief among the causes which led
to this prediction are, first the firm
stand taken by Mayor Dunne, when in
conference with President Shea and
officials of the local teamsters' union
he assured them that any further
spread of the strike would certainly
make 1t necessary for him to call for
troops, and second. the hopeful view
Of the situation taken by President
Samuel Gompers of the American Fed.
GRAFTON Of Labor. President Gompers
said:
Il certainly shall do all in my power
to end the strike, and have great
hopes Of success
President Gompers arrived in this
city at night. Immediately after leay.
ing his train President Gompers went
into conference with President Shea
and local officials OF the teamsters'
union. This conference lasted until a
late hour at night
After leaving the meeting of the la
Dor leaders, President Gompers met a
number of the teamowners who have
stood by the unions for the great mart
of the strike. They informed him that
the time had come when they could
no longer refuse to deliver and take
goods from the boycotted houses with
out facing financial ruin.
1t is said on good authority that Mr..
Gompers will suggest to the teamsters
that they allow the teamowners to do
business with the boycotted houses.
1t is expected that the teamsters will
accept this proposition. and in this
manner the strike will be called off.
