COULD NOT REACH VERDICT.
Jury fin the Butler Murder Case Unable
 to Agree.

Bridgeport, March 21.-After report ing back to the court four times, once for an interpretation of law regarding degrees of murder and three times re- turning a disagreement, the jury in the Butler murder case, after being out nine hours and forty minutes. made its final report at 1O;50 tonight, informing the court that 1t was utterly impossible to reach an agreement.
 At o'clock the jury was considering verdict of manslaughter and stood 10 to 1 for it, but when the standing was intimated to the court Judge Robinson told them that such a verdict would be illogical and that the court could not accept it, and so they deliberated fur ther. Although the jury agreed not to give out the final vote, it is understood from trustworthy sources that there was, after the courts refusal to con- sider a verdict of manslaughter, an att tempt to agree on murder in the second degree, but this fell through, the jury standing, it is claimed, eight for ac- quittal to four for conviction in second degree.
 The state intimates disappointment in the agreement, hoping at least for verdict, and intimating that, as the case now stood, it would mean a third trial. The final decision in the matter, however, will rest with State Attorney Samuel Fessenden.

BILL OUSTING DIRECTORS
 AND TRUSTEES REPORTED
COMMITTEE OF NEW YORK AS- SEMBLY TAKES FAVOR
 ABLE ACTION.

Important Amendment Providing That
 No Proxy Executed Prior to Septem-
 Der 15, Next, Will be Valid or Can be
 Voted at the ReOrganizing Election
 Reason for Pushing of Measure ths
 Fact That the Election of New York
 Life Trustees Takes Place April Il.
 Albany, N. Y, March 21.-The assem- ply committee on insurance in execu- tive session late tonight voted to re- port favorably to the assembly to-mor- row with amendments, assembly bill No. 964, introduced by the joint special Investigating committee, which would legislate out of office on November 15 next all of the directors and trustees of the mutual insurance companies and would nullify all proxies hitherto se- cured by the companies themselves, by Thomas w. Lawson or any other per- son or committee. The most important amendment provides that no proxy ex- ecuted to September 15 next will be valid or can be voted at the reorgani- zating election, which the bill sets for November 15.
 It was stated that tGle amending and reporting of the bill were at the in stance of the Investigating committee.
 It is said upon reliable authority that the reason for the pushing of this par ticular bill is the fact that the election of trustees for the New York Life In- surance company will occur on April Ii and it Is the desire of the committee that there may be no question but this election shall be among those to be postponed by the act,
 According to the same authority, the amended bill will be reported also in the senate tomorrow in behalf of the Armstrong committee, and the effort will be to press the bill to passage with all pos Si ole speed so that it may be en- acted and placed in the hands of Cover nor Higgins early next week.
 The bill amended was brought to AL bany tonight by Assemblyman Prem tice of the Investigating committee.
 The bill effects 'every domestic mu- tual insurance corporation, whether in corporated by special act or under a general law" and provides that the an nral election of such company which under its charters or bylaws would be held thereafter and prior to November 15, 1906" shall be postponed and held on that date. All present directors shall hold office until then, and until their successors are elected.
 The elections are to be held under the supervision of the state department oi insurance, which is to appoint in each case at least three policy holders to act as inspectors of the election. The boards of directions then elected must proceed forthwith to elect new ofti- cers" respectively, the terms of office ot the old expiring upon the election and qualification of their successors.
 The directors then elected are re- ouired by the bill to divide themselves by lot into two classes, one class there- upon being assigned to the one year term. the other to hold office for two years.
 The amendments do not include the suggestion of Andrew Hamilton that present directors and trustees should be disqualified for reelection for one wear.
