UNABLE TO REACH A VERDICT
AFTER As HOURS DELIBERA-
TlON.
John CASTOR, One of the Jurymen
Taken III With Heart Trouble This
Morning.

The jury in the case of Neil Harris,
charged with running Eta Ogden, was
discharged by Judge Brents at 1920
o'clock this afternoon. John CASTOR,
one of the jurymen, was taken quite
ill with heart trouble this morning.
This, together with little likelihood
of a verdict being reached any way
soon, led Judge Brents to consent
to discharge the jury. The last bal
lot taken showed eight for convic-
ton and four for acquittal. For the
first two ballots the jury stood eight
for acuuittal and four for conviction,
later switching around to six for con-
viction. four for acquittal and two
blanks.
Jury Tagged Out.
It was a heavy-eyed and tired look
ing lot of men that filed into court
this afternoon and announced that 1t
was impossible to reach verdict.
Foreman Leslie Kirkman stated TO
tho court that there was little likeli-
hood of a verdict being reached anu
asked that the jury be discharged. the
i,,r.- was out As hours and the two
nights were spent in the stuffy httie
iury room without and provision De-
ing made for cots for the jurymen TO
sleep on.
No New Trial This Term.
Attorney Cain announced after the
Jury was discharged that harris
would probably not be given a ne"

exhausted. Harris is being held IN

willing to put stop to the boycott, in Difference

United States would be unable to stay the prog

China is admitted, by all who have studied the
question, to be the greatest market OF the Worio
for foreign trade and manufactures 1t is bound
to remain SO for generations to come, with lts
colossal population. superior by more than
hundred million to that of British India
And it is Southern China and it's hinterland
that has until proved the largest consumer
of foreign wares. America had succeeded in
building up a large and growing business there,
superior to that of every other nation save
Great Britain and Japan. 1t business
ca pable of enormous development-of develop
nlent that would contribute to the prosperity of
the whole of the United States and to the pro-
motion OF American trade and industry. This
is being sacrificed, and the market at any rate
of Southern China, is being lost to this country,
besides the life and the property of the Amer
lean missionaries in China endangered by the
maintenance of the refusal to accord to the
Chinese laboring class the same rights that are
enjoyed here by the Japanese coolies-a discrim-
ination which is exacted by certain people on
the Pacific coast, and for which they almost
wholly responsible.
1t is possible, though by no means certain.
that something might be done to allay the
anti-American feeling in Southern China and to
arrest the boycott were the bars of the ex-
cusion act to be raised, to begin with in the
Philippine Islands where the presence Of the
Chinese coolies would risk of conflict
with organized labor and could not be regarded
as constituting peril thereto. Indeed, Chinese
labor would assist largely in the development
of the islands. But it may be questioned wheth-
er even this token of Cancellation the part
of the United States would be adequate. in view
of the fame throughout China of the success

cessions from the Washington government

News travels surely. if perhaps little slowly, In
China and even in the most remote districts or
the interior will be found people of the mer-

ouired a competence over here. have returned
to their native land, to spend the remainder OF

in such a way as to confne the exclusion to the
coolie that is to the laborer class, and to place
no further obstacles in the way of the admis-
sion of merchants, tourists and students from
China into America, requiring only that they
should be provided with certificates Of identity
from United States officials in China And it
is chiefly due TO the President, and to his sense
Of justice, that the prospect Of bringing about
a more humane and friendly treatment of the
Chinese who visit shores is due.
But, although these notifications in the
Chinese exclusion laws of America may satisfy
the Pekng government and may even prove in
a measure acceptable to the guilds, which are
controlled by the rich merchants and manu-
facturers, there is little reason to hope that
they will alay the i'll feeling against the United
States among the masses in Southern China

above all the coolies who emigrate drawn,

THE submarine boat has now become a factor

defence. Submarine boats are more effective
than submarine mine fields. Generally speak

hitherto were made hazardous for big ships

In the quietest. simplest way, he began:
..I want to emphasize the fact that am pri-
marily the admiral. and that the name Of the
admiral who happens to be in command OF the
SQUADRON is a matter of altogether secondary
importance. and therefore I gratefully accept

showered upon me compliment to the Brit

represent upon this occasion.
II don't want people to he talking Of the
prince I am infinitely more proud of being in
command of a squadron and flying my flag than
of the minor distinction of bearing a handle TO
my name. My title has more often been a, handi-
cap instead of an assistance. I have had to
prove, step by step, my fitness for the service
under rigid conditions prescribed by the sup
positional barrier OF possessing title.

Victoria of Resse the late Queen's grand
