Nan Patterson, the actress, who is
under an indictment in New York
City, charging her with the murder
of Caesar Young, has been three
times put upon trial. Onthe first trial
one of the jurors became sick and
there was mistrial by reason there
of. At the second trial both the
prosecution and the defense sub
mitted their evidence, and the jury
disagreed, and at the trial just
closed the defense offered no evil
dence but submitted the case en- the
states evidence. The jury dis
agreed, standing Z to 5 in favor Of
acquittal. The failure Of the state
to secure conviction shows beyond
question that there is at least, a rea
sonable doubt Of the defendants
guilt, and it is therefore not prob
able that she will be compelled tt
submit to another trial.

The transfers strike in Chicago is
believed to be in its final stages and
if SO there is valuable lesson in the
manner in which it has been dealt
with by the democratic mayor OF
Chicago and the democratic sheriff
of Cook county. Instead of sending
federal troops into Chicago as Cleve-
land did some years ago with such
disastrous consequences to life and
property, the authorities this time
have been kind in manner yet firm
in their purpose. They have urged
the state and federal authorities to
keep the soldiers away and give the
people a chance to deal with the sit
uation in kindly manner and the
the result has been very gratifying.

WAR OF WORDS IS nE1cN1NG
Charges, Denials and Counter Charges Are
Exchanged.

The strike has taken on verbal
character in the past forty-eight hours,
which also may mean thatplysical war
Is about exhausted. Charges have been
made against the police, the Employ
ers' association alleging that from the
outset the police have in many cases
favored the strikers refusing to arrest
them when they were seen assaulting
non-union men. and losing no oppor-
tunity to take the latter into custody
whenever it was possible for them to
find an excuse for doing so. These
charges will be officially filed.
The labor leaders charge that the
Employers association is striving to
extend the strike by forcing employers
to Violate their contracts when those
contracts prevent the employers from
throwing in their lot with the Employ.
ers' association. Then here comes the
Employers association with the charge
that President Shea, of the transfers,
proposed that the strikers should all
go back to work, and the strike was
to be called off for twenty-four hours,
during which Shea and the other lead
ers would leave town. Then the En-
ployers were to be at liberty to dis.
charge all the union men they chose
and reorganize their force of employees.
Shea repudiates the whole story and
Is backed by several members of the
Team Owners association. He says
the proposition as made was that n
truce of twenty-four hours be had dur.
ing which the new men be all dis.
charged: then the strikers were to 90
back to their jobs. This truce was to
prevent clashes between the strikers
and the discharged non-unlon men.
Mayor Dunno has appointed Graham
Taylor, II. X. Webster and William q.
Boyden committee to investigate
these two last charges.

which has lasted for two weeks, has
reached point where the business
men involved in the difficulty appear
to have gained n decided advantage,
and the Transfers appear now to he in

or decide to extend the strike by call

have refrained from doing.
