 "Yes, it is true that I did refuse to sign the verdict declaring that Mr. Haynes unlawfully and with malice afore- thought killed Mir. Hewlett" said D. R. Dunlap, a member of the eoroner's jury that investigated the killing, yesterday afternoon. Tn face of the evidence we had before us, could not agree with the other members of the jury on such yer dict.
 ''I agreed with the other jurors, how ever, that MT. Haynes unlawfully killed MT. Shugart."

BLACK MARIA" SPOKE.
Threatened to Take MT. Edwards to
 Station-house.

From the Washington Post.
 MT. John l.. Edwards. Is automobile, and an old negro woman, ran an opposi- New York avenue, and those who wit messed the exhibition declared they got their moneys worth and more besides.
 Mir. Edwards is admitted one of the most expert amateur chauffeurs in town. If he runs into dog it is the dogs fault, and if he is unfortunate enough to damage some ones personal or real property there's always a good reason why.
 Yesterday MT Edwards occupied his usual seat in the machine, and his hand steadily clutched the shining lever Auto mobiling here in Washington under favor able conditions is truly delightful pastime. To sit in a twenty horse power machine and go as fast the law allows, and laugh at the zealous bicycle officers is royal, refreshing and respectable. At any rate Mir Edwards will say so-and MT; Edwards knows.
 Look a-heah, where am yer goin ?'' It was the old negro woman, and she made nasty side-step to the pavement, and yelled 'Lofdy! Lordy! Iordy!'
 MT. Edwards brought his auto to stop-fully realizing a the time that 1t was better after all to kill person than scare him to death.
 ''Yer sholy ought ter be 'shamed of yerself', Et's nice state of affairs when a person can't walk on de streets with out ben' bounced on like hawk does a chickun,"
 MT. Edwards explained to the dusky pedestrian that he had not come within ten feet of her, but volunteered to take her name in case any complications should arise.
 My name am Black Maria" she said. and An have a great mind ter tote yer to de station house as a Black Maria should!'

1.-THE SHAW BOOM DAMAGED"
Vie President Fairbanks Paper Tries
 To Be Optimistic. '

From the Minneapolis News.
 The Shaw boom seems to have been somewhat damaged. Also-though this is less nt-Representative Hepburn got a severe jolt. For whily he was making his stand,pat speech in the House of Representatives, his con. stituents of the Tenth Iowa district held convention at which they adopt. ed resolution demanding immediate revision of the tariff. As this is MT. Shaw's home district, the blow falls on him as we'll as on Hepburn. But worse than all, if telegrams received by certain men in Washington may bs believed, the convention flatly refused to adopt resolution endorsing Shaw. It Is now thought that Iowa's candi- date will be, not Secretary Shaw, but Governor Cummins. Once again we see that the tariff question is "opened up" all right. And yet the opening process has just begun. rs

ANOTHER REVOLT IN LOWER HOUSE. Labor Members Vote to De- mand Immediate Amnesty ADJoURNS TO TOMORROW May Day Will be Observed in Russia Today and Arrests Are Ex-
 pected on Account of Labor
 Demonstrations.
ADJOURNS TO TOMORROW

St. Petersburg, May 13-Another ot the incipient radical revolts with which It IS apparent the constitutional democratic majority must always contend, broke out today in the lower house of parliament when labor members introduced a resolu- ton for immediate submission to Elm peror Nicholas by telegraph of demand that amnesty be proclaimed at once.
 In view of the May-day demonstrations many arrests are expected tomorrow. The constitutional democrat leaders were scarcely able to stave off so preeipitate a movement which would undo all the re- suits of the moderates by sending their best orators into the fray when Professor Kavalesky, a free lance member, proposed that instead of telegraphing, the house send President Mouromtseff to Peterhon with the request for immediate amnesty This threat failed to sweep the house, but the constituencies by sharp plans managed to sidetrack the matter until after the selection of a commission to re- ply to the speech from the throne. which, according to Russian procedure. occupied several hours, and then was able to de- feat it,
