the Jury which, since Jan. 20 last, mad

after forty-seven hours and eight min
utes of deliberaton that it could not
possibly agree on verdict Inc
twelve men were promptly discharged
by Justice Fitzgerald, who declared
that he. too. believed their task was
homeless. Thaw was remanded TO inc
Tembs without bail TO await second
trial on the charge Of having murdered
Stanford White.
When this new trial would laKo
rIace. no one connected with the case
could express an opinion. Dstflct At"
tornoy Jerome declared there were
many other persons accused oi holhi-
eide awaiting trial, and Thaw would
have to take his turn with the rest.

the proceedings so far as the election
was concerned, ard the matter of 'es-
tablishing the Thirteenth street car
line was taken up.
Upon the motion from Councilman
Mexican an ordinance was passed
granting tle traction company per
mission TO lay track on Thirteenth
street 40 feet from the west line OF
the street. This will place the track
in the middle of the street and Will let
it clear the city water pipe.

If it came to contest between l and

Councilman Mexican then suggested
the passage of the resolution declar-
ing the election void. Mayor Kellough
interposed that from his view of the
matter, the council would not be any
better off after passing the resolu-
tons and going through the manda-
mus proceedings.
A vote was taken, Councilman Tau
sick and Durham against, and Coun-
cilmen Mexican. Bachtold and Glas-
ford for the resolution. A discus
sion then arose as to whether a reso-
luton could be passed without four
votes. The charter was brought out
and it was found that the resolution
could be passed by the three votes.
As Mayor Kellough was given the
resolution to sign later he remarked
that though he would sign it, he did
not like to as ne was doubtful that it
was the best action to take.

Five hundred loaves of bread will

AT least contracts for that amount
of the staff of life have been placed
with the Model Bakery company. The

400 were used, so in reality something
like a thousand loaves will be con-

in town, although more will be or
dered.
Contracts for hay, grain. feed of all
kinds, wood and shavings, were
placed with the V. Y. Feed and Trans

nrely determined until the circus
gets in town, but needless to say. the

Very respectfully.


Following the reading of the city at
torney's opinion Attorney Gose, who
represented Oscar Cain, asked permits
sion to address the council and in a
heated argument upheld the legality
| of the past election, declaring that it
was the duty of the council to canvass
| the votes and that it had no authority
to pass upon the legality of the cleo
/ tor, Relative to this he said:
This board has no right to con-
slider this question. The question of
whe. her the election is void, or valid,
is purely judicial question.
Il have gone over this matter very
carefully and have conferred with the
leading lawyers of this city upon the
question and all authorities agree that
if you refuse to canvass the votes
you merely invite costs and trouble
and will not establish anything. If
brought into the court, the court will
merely rule as to whether you shall
canvass the votes. Under the law it is
the pam OuIy OF lne cOuncll 10 call

Attorney Gose then cited an in
stance in which the supreme court had
declared an election valid though the
hours for polling had not beer strictly
, observed. He also produced the rul-
ing in which it said that where no
fraudulent intent had been shown upon
the part of the election officials and
where no claim was made that any
candidate had been injured or voter
fdeprived from voting, the election was
valid.
In commenting on this attorney
! Gose said:
The common sense rule is applicable
here and the ruling is stated so plain
that no one can mistake it. If the time
was short and if it charged the result
was apparently affected. or if appar-
emit fraud in conducting the election is
shown. then the court would set the
results of the election aside. But if it
