Special Dispatch to The Star
BOSTON, Mass, October 19.-The acct
dent to the French submar ine boat Iut,n
off Bizerta. Tunis, is matter of great in
terest to the officials of a boat company of
Quincy. which is building four submarines
forsthe United States navy.
In the dispatches from Washington II is
understood that the United States subma-
rine boats are safer and that they carry
water ballast to sink them, as did the Lutin
of the French navy. The first part of the
proposition the officers of the Quincy COM
pany are willing to admit.
They say that man is just as safe
In these new submarine boats as he would
be on dry land, and that of the four the
feet, or nearly three times as deep as the
Lutin is supposed to be. The type of
boats building at Quincy do not. it is
said. depend on water ballast to sink
them. the sinking and raising of the boats
being accomplished by means of fms on
lowed as closely as possible In case Of
an accident to any part of the propellfng
machinery or the stopping of the engines

SO that an accident such as has happened
to the Lutin is impossible.

olies-that is, by confirmation and affidavit
instead of by grand jury indictment. Tho
verdict was rendered at 4:35 o'clock this
morning and resulted from a continuous
elaboration by the jury during thir:ytwo
consecutive hours. The trial occupied seven
days preceding this elaboration.
When the case went to the jury at $50
o'clock Wednesday night, the first ballot OF
the jurors stood nine for conviction and
three for acquittal. AS the result of con-
tinuous deliberations to o'clock Thursday
morning, one of the three for acquittal
joined the majority. At o'clock Thursday
night one of the two remaining for acquittaI
went over to the other side and at o'clock
this morning the last of the three gave his
assent to the verdict of guilty"
Touch Of Dramatic
A touch of the dramatic marked the clos
ing hours of the jury's elaboration. Hymns
were sung during all but ten minutes OF

Juror who had stood out. in explaining his
position and surrendering to the majority.
There was not the slightest levity about
this hymnal service. The jurors had then
been many hours without sleep. The songs.
which were started shortly after 2 o'clock
in the morning by about three voices.

county court house. AS one familiar hymn

After celebrating for many
hours the jury in the case of the
Standard Oil Company for con-
spiracy against trade in violation
of the Valentine antitrust law of
Ohio early this morning brought
in verdict of guilty. The cor
poration gave notice that it will file
motion for a new trial. An odd
incident during the deliberations Of
the jury was the singing of hymns
"a proceeding which the tele-
graphic advices state was not ac-

of levity. The case has excited
widespread attention all over the
country, and is regarded as sig-
nal victory for the prosecution.
FINDLAY, Ohio, October 19-By the ver-
DICT of jury the Standard Oil Company of
Ohio is guilty of conspiracy against trade
in violation Of the Valentine antitrust
law of Ohio.
The penalty is a fine of from $50 to 5000.
which may be repeated for each day OF the
offense or imprisonment of from six to
twelve months.
The Standard Oil Company of Ohio has
given notice that it will file a motion for Q |
new trial. Under the practice of the court
the defendant has three days to put this
motion into form.
The next step will be for the court to inn
pose the penalty.
The defense will then take their bill OF
exceptions of such rulings of Judge Banker
as they have objected to to the circuit court
of the state.
Appeal to Supreme Court.
The appeal from this court is to the SUI
preme court of the state, by which tribunal
there is no doubt the issue will be ultimate
ly decided.
To the state the suit, the verdict and the
ultimate appeal is important particularly
because it initiates an entirely new method

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, October 19.-Ten
men We're burned to death, two others were
perhaps fatally injured and third was
slightly hurt in a fire which destroyed the
boarding house Of Mrs. E. E. Wattiey, in
Cd avenue, between and 3 o'clock this

G. w. Troutman, motorman; c. E. Keith,
street railway emoloye.
Twenty-One Boarders There.
There were twenty-one boarders at the
house, almost all of whom were street rail-
way employees In addition there were three
other persons, Mrs. Wattley and her two
sons. The Watueys have been accounted
for.
All the dead and injured occupied rooms
on the second story of the house The
flames enveloped the entire building when
the fire was discovered, and it was with
the greatest difficulty that the persons OH
the lower floor made their escape. They
saved nothing. Every piece of furniture in
the house was burned
Perhaps Incendiary.
The fire Is thought to have been of fncen-
diary origin. Burglars have been detected
on the premises twice within the last two
months and Mrs. Wattley things the house
was burglarized and then set on fire.
Thieves were discovered at work during the
progress of the flames and the police were
called to keep guard. The ten charred
bodies are at the morgue( where it is i'm
possible TO tell one from the other. The
names given are those of the missing. the
number corresponding with the number of
