The Faulkner Case.

Has a jury in the United States court the right to fix sentence of defendant in case of conviction?
 That question came up Thursday in the United States district court and was de- cided by Judge Thomas G. Jones em- phatically in the negative.
 The subject came up in this way: Ernest T. Faulkner, a Morris avenue commits sion merchant, was on trial, charged with using the United States mails for fraudu- lent purposes. The 5ury brought in a ver- dict of guilty. supplemented by a recom- mendation that the defendant be sen- fenced to pay a nominal fine.
 Judge Jones took exception 10 tn recommendation, reminding the jurors that they had no right to attempt to fix the sentence, that responsibility devolving exclusively upon the court. Thereupon it developed that four jurors were in favor of acquittal, but had consented to a nominal verdict of guilty, provided the penalty should be the minimum. Judge Jones promptly informed the jury that he could receive no such verdict. If the four members of the jury really believed the defendant to be innocent thy should un- der all pressure refuse to consent to a verdict of conviction, just as jurors who

BUYING OF PIG IRON
 IS NOT VERY ACTIVE
No Sales of Magnitude Were Reported During the Week-A Sat
 isfied Attitude.

Rogers, Brown X Co.'S Cincinnati re- port of yesterdays date says:
 Buying continues quiet and there are no sales of magnitude to report during the week. The nature of the inquiries re- ceived. however shows that there is d great deal of figuring being done for bus mess during the last half of the year, and the bulk of the orders call for de- livery during that period. There is a satisfied attitude m~ infested by producers whose output is well taken care of to July 1st, and who look towards the last half of the year with complacency. Viewed has lead one to believe in curtailment of the activity which has veen evident the last three months, and which receiv- ed such startling confirmation in the pig iron statistics for March marking as they did record for production and con tinued decrease in furnace stocks. Pros- poets all seem to be for continuance of consumption on this high plane, and probably an increase, as there are still many lines of smaller industries which could well see betterment of their trade.
 lHt early SHlpHthl pA oit run tHc Missabi range is being interfered with on account of strike troubles, which be- gan several days ago and still continue. The effect of this will be felt, but at the present time 1t Is impossible to say to what extent. Reports state that it is more matter of agitation than senti- ment on the part of the miners them- selves.
 The largest manufacturers in leading lines are figuring on a great increase in consumptive capacity during the next few months. and this added to the pres ent rate, even if there is no increase in the latter will make itself felt
 Locally the market is without any change in prices In spite of much easier transportation conditions, deliveries are not yet all that could be desired.

GATHERING DATA
 ON BIRMINGHAM
CENSUS BUREAU WILL PUBLISH REPORT ON MANUFACTURING IN THIS DISTRlcT-MR. NELL IS'lN THE CITY.

c. Neill of the census bureau, Wash
 on, is in the city compiling a report aa the manufacturing interests of this
 ion. He will spend several days in and
 md Birmingham visiting the differ
 industries
 lis report by MT. Neill will be inter esting and will show the amount of capi- tai employed in manufacturing, the num- Der of men and output of the various manufacturing enterprises of the dis tfict.
 MT. Neill has been asked by the of ficers of the Commercial club to represent Birmingham as a manufacturing center rather than a manufacturing town.
 The city has but few large manufactur- ing concerns within it's limits, and a show ing from these alone would therefore be roticeably incomplete. Some of the big gest plants in the district are practically in the city, yet are outside the pre- scribed limits of the municipality.
 For instance, among those so situated might be named the Sloss furnaces, the Birmingham Rolling mills, the North Bir- mingham furnaces, the Hardie-Tines works, the Birmingham Foundry and Ma chine works, the Dimmick Pipe works and many other great manufacturing plants.

PROSPECTS BRIGHT
 FOR INDUSTRIES
FRANK NELSON, JR., IS IN TOUCH WITH OFFICERS OF SEVERAL INDUSTRIAL PLANTS SEEKING TO LOCATE HERE.

Frank Nelson IT,, chairman of the min ing and manufacturing committee of the Commercial club, has several industrial plants in view which he hopes to secure for the Birmingham district within a short time.
 If the Birmingham citizens would pull together and would subscribe to the stock of many of these companies, which are really good investments, we could get numbers of them here," said MT. Nelson. We always have letters on file from firms seeking to get into the Birmingham district, and many of them want some stock subscribed by the citizens here Nearly every one of these investments would prove profitable and the bonds are as good as gold.
 q would like see carried out the plan of MT. Bowron, to organize a stock com pany of 900 here to aid these indus tries seeking admission to the city or dis trict. It would be the greatest thing that could happen. We could run up a smoke stack in every direction, and hear the music of the grinding machinery from a hundred new industries in a few months
 As chairman of the manufacturing committee l have many letters seeking for information concerning the conditions here. l find it pretty~ hard sometimes to secure companies when Birmingham has to compete with these smaller cities, They have a great deal of very cheap property and they will often donate sites in order to get a plant On the other hand Bi- mingham offers superior inducements in many ways. and the city does secure a good number of these industries.

DO NOT FAVOR ANY RlOTlNG

St. Petersburg, April 22.-Q2:5O a. m.)- May day demonstrations on grand scale throughout the empire is the programme of the socialist wing of the reform party, as announced at the Pan-Russian con- gress of journalists, which csed yester- day after protracted and stormy ses- sion. The congress illustrated the lack Of unity in reform circles, the programme was finally adopted failing to touch many burning questions of the hour on account of the impossibility of harmonizing the views of the divergent clements. At the conclusion neither side was satisfied. The moderate faction, which was in the majority, eliminated a number of recom- mendations in deference to the wishes os the social democrats. while the rep resentatives of the socialist press char acterized the platform generally and es- pecially the plank regarding tactics, as
 wishy- washy, and announced that the plan of organized meetings and parades in every city and industrial center of
 Russia, on May IA, to which they were
 unable to gain the concurrence of other elements, will be carried out regardless os the congress.
 Government Will Be Answerable, They disclaimed any intention of rioting but declared that if the police attempted to break up the demonstrations, the gov
 ernment would be answerable.
 The chief accomplishment of the con gress was it's determination to organize
 an association which will participate In
 the general work of the reform league of all the professional classes, In which the
 lawyers took the first steps at their re- cent congress here. Practically all the I liberal papers of Russia were represented
 in the journalistic congress, among the delegates being Polish, Finnish, Arr
 menian, Georgia, Esthonian, Lettlsh, Ii- thuanian and Little Russian journalists. Among the speakers were M. Millukoff, who recently made a lecturing tour of
 America, and the Poet Korolenko. The I police did not interfere.
 Take of Industrial Yoke.
 The programme adopted comprises vague resolutions in favor of the national i ization of land, some form of liberation l of the laboring classes from the indus
 trial yoke, and the right of various natl I onalties to self government as far as | consistent with the existence of the em- | pire. long discussion of tactics re- | suited in a declaration that the present situation left no room for illegal methods of agitation, and the delegates pledged
 themselves to the greatest possible agita- tion in favor of legislative assembly by
 both legal and extra legal publications. Tn l view of alleged attempts of the authori- | ties to incite the proletarans against the educated classes, the congress demanded 1 the right of the people to arm themselves and form local militia for self-defense l Among the blanks excised from the platform was a declaration for an eight hour working day. which was carried by
 a majority so narrow that it was finally 1 decided not to include it.
