When Twelve Men Are Locked
Cp by Sheriff.

The jury in the Yoell will contest
failed to reach an agreement last night
and was locked up at midnight in
Judge Kerrigan's courtroom by the
Sheriff. The foreman announced at
O'Clock that the baIloting stood to
S and that there was little chance for
an agreement. At midnight the re-
suit remained unchanged. so the jury
was locked up.
The contest was the result Of a dis
pute over the will of the late J. Alex
ander Yoell. a Santa Clara County
pioneer. In his will he left most Of
his $4,000 estate to the children by
his first wife-Mrs. Evelyn Levy and
Mrs. Theobold- The children by the
second wife-Gertrude Yoell. Beatrice
Yoell and Mrs Emily T. Dunn--were
left but small legacies in the will and
they sought to have the document
broken on the ground that Yoell was
of unsound mind when it was exc
cuted. The case has been dragging
in Judge Kerrigan's court for the last
six months.

COMMITTEE REPORTS ON
MILK COMPANY'S CASE
New Cooperative Company and Milk
Wagon Drivers Union Agree
to Abide by Arbitration.
c;;sp

The controversy between the Milk
Wagon Drivers Union and the Milk
Cooperative Company was again up
for discussion before the Labor Coun-
Gil last night. The report of the ex-
ecutive committee, to which body the
matter had been referred on an ap-
plication of the union for a boycott
was made and both sides received it
satisfactorily. The report is as fol-
lows:
II is the sense OF this committee that the
causes of the controversy between the Work
ngmen's Cooperative Commercial Company
and the Milk Wagon Drivers Union is the re-
ducton of the price of milk to the consumers
by the Workingmen's Cooperative Commercial
Company.
1t Is the sense of this committee that the
Milk Wagon Drivers Union has not treated
Company in fair and impartial manner, the
same as 1t has treated other employers, In
that the Workingmen's cooperative CONNER
and agreed TO pay the scale Of wages demanded
by the union. the union furnishing such men.
but said men refused to continue in the
plcyment of the workingmens Cooperative
Commercial Company and comply with the
terms of agreement which were in force with
other employers Of milk wagon drivers, such
action being detrimental TO the best interests
of the trades union movement.
II Is the sense of this committee, in view
of the prior action of the Labor Council that
the council does net concur In the action Of
ary union or unions which tends to regulate
the price of marketable products or purchasabie
service controlled by the employers. In view
OF these facts the committee recommends that
the application for boycott be denied and we
further recommend that the parties in interest
submit the question at issue to the executive
committee OF this council and that the con
tending parties agree to abide by the decision
OF this board of arbitration

animal the little fellow was struck by
a front wheel of the wagon and hurled
to the pavement. He was quickly
borne into the Park Hotel Pharmacy

Complications Feared Over the Claims
Against San Domingo.

WASHINGTON, March 17,-In view
of the expected adjournment of the
present extra session of the Senate
without definite action on the Domini-
can treaty, 1t is expected the State De-
partment will proceed with the col
lection of customs at Puerto Plata and
Monte Cristi under the terms of the
arbitration award of last year.
It is feared that complications may
ar1se through the action of some of the
European powers whose citizens are
heavy creditors of Santo Domingo.
These claims have been held
in allegiance because the Euro

GAY YOUNG ARMY OFFICER
Is UNDER SURVEILLANCE
Lieutenant w. z. Goolsby Is Detained
Here as Result of Financial
Troubles,

Lieutenant w. E. Goolsby, Twenty
first Infantry, is now under surveil-
lance of the military authorities at the
Preside. The rosy path of the ten
derloin is reported to be responsible
for his predicament. The main cause
of his trouble is the claim made by
a woman named Decker, keeper of a
notorious resort who alleges that he
owes her S34O. Goolsby came here
with his regiment and intended to sail
for Manila on February /. He failed to
make connections. He was then listed
to sail on the transport Logan on
February %. Again he failed to sail,
and it is reported that the Decker
woman, with her alleged claim
against him, was responsible for his
not being able to get away to join his
regiment. The military authorities
here look lightly upon the situation
and in all probability will not press
matters up to trial by court-martiaL
as the young lieutenant's relatives are
people of prominence and will un-
doubtedly come forward and render
the needed assistance to get him out
of his trouble.

ferred to the transport Buford and
sailed away north, where they are to
be stationed at Vancouver Barracks.
The Ninth Battery, Field Artillery,
under command of First Lieutenant
Edgar H. Yale, who returned on the
transport Thomas yesterday, are now
at the Preside.
The movements of the Fourteenth
Infantry, which was scheduled to sail
from Manila for this port on March
15, are not known. Major G. A. Devol
said yesterday that either one of the
transports, Sheridan or Sherman,
should have sailed from Manila on
March 10, and in one of the vessels,
he presumed the Fourteenth would
come He had no advices. There
were many rumors afloat here recent
ly that there was a possibility that the
Fourteenth might not sail on the 18th,
but would wait for the Buford and
then sail direct to the Columbia Riv-
er, as 1t is to be stationed at Van
couver Barracks, Wash. The Four
teenth Infantry has been for two
years In Samar.
Major A. S. Dunning Was equally
at sea on the subject, as no advices
had reached him to-day concerning
