The Thaw Jury May Disagree.

New YORK, APRIL lin apparent dead
lock, yet without having intimated to the
court the impossibilty of reaching some final
agreement, the jury which is trying to deter
mine the guilt or innocence of Harry K. Thaw
was still in secluson at u O'Clock tonight,
after having passed 32 hours in continuous
elaboration. Judge Fitzgerald, after waiting
until 11.4O o'clock, had ordered the jury
locked up for the night.
Once in the morning and in the afternoon
the jury had come into court to obtain certain
of the exhibits and to refresh their memories
by listening again to certain portions of the
Judges charge and to the evidence of large
number of witnesses, which was read to
them at the Courts order.
Throughout the day and evening specula-
ton was rife as to how the jury stood. Many
reports were afloat, none of them probably
based upon anything better than guesswork.
In the morning hours the favorite report had
it that there were six jurymen for verdict of
murder in the first degree, three for acquittal
on the ground of insanity at the time of the
shooting and three favoring conviction in one
of the lesser degrees Of homicide.
This report was traceable to no reliable
source, nor was the latest one, which found
some favor, to the effect that 10 iurymen then
stood ready to convict of manslaughter, while
2 stood out firmly for acquittal. The simple
fact was that with the precautions taken for
the sanctity of the jury's deliberations such
speculation is well nigh idle.

Carroll County Horse Wins at Ben
MINIS.

Fred. Lttlefelds grand 2 year.old colt,
Jubilee, qualified for the Jesse Brown cup on
April 4, at Bennings, Washington, winning
the fourth race from the crack Ben Cole in a
game finish. Ben Cole, who won in such
gallant fashion Saturday, was made the favor
lite in this race at even money. Jubilee was
next in demand at IL to 5, and some scattering
play came in on Giles and Gossoon.
There was never anything in the race but
Jubilee aud Ben Cole The latter took the lead
at the start and held it until half way down
the stretch. Here Jubilee challenged and,
standing hard drive gamely, came away at
the end Gossoon and Giles were treading
right on the heels of the leaders, Gossoon get,
ting third place by whsker. This race
makes Jubilee about the best 2-year old at
the track. He comes naturally enough by
his speed and gameness, being half brother
to Ypsilante, who won a number of England
blue ribbon events, among them the Jubilee
stakes, for which Little6eld's colt was named.
He will undoubtedly be the favorite in the
Jesse Brown cup, which is limited to 2 year
olds here in Maryland Virginia and the Dis
trict of Columbia.
Owner Littlefeld made no secret of his
faith in Jubilee and Maryland turfmen won
handsomely by his victory. Already Mr.. Lit
tlefeld has had many offers for the colt, but
he is holding him at a big price. He says he
is worth more than the Compute colt he sold
Paul Rainey last spring.
Maryland turfmen were very much I'D 1T on
that afternoon. Besides Fred. Littleheld's
victory Carter Hall won the first race with
Tickle and ran second with Venus in the fifth,
just failing to land by swerve in the stretch.
Bob Walden also took third with Glorious
Betsy in the second race.

Wants It EIimselfq

WASHINGTON, April 11.-Friends of Senator
Foraker regard President Roosevelt as anxi-
GUS to succeed himself in the White House
and do not consider him sincerely DESTROYS to
transfer his strength to the Taft movement.
They believe that he has encouraged Taft's
boom to precipitate bitter fight between the
Taft and Foraker followers in Ohio in order
to eliminate both of the distinguished Ohioans
from the Geld.
These friends Of the Foraker movement
believe that the President would like to see
Taft and Foraker cut each others political
threats, thereby rendering it impossible for
either to secure the Endorsement of their State
as q ''favorite son." so that Mr.. Roosevelt
may have no formidable opponent from Ohio
before the Republican National Convention.
