The JURY DISAGREES FIRST GAME 0F BALL.
IN The MURDER CASE OF HARRY
X. THAW.
Jury Stands Seven to Five for Con.
viCtiOn, After Being Out IT Hours.
The Very Expensive Trial Must be
Repealed. Counsel Nav Ask tor
Bail,

New YORK. April l2.-The Thaw jnry
disagreed at 4 81 y. m. The jury report
ed that it could not agree and was dis
charged
Shortly after the jury had been dis
charged it was reported that the final
vote showed division OF seven for mur.
der and five for acquitta.
Immediately after the disagreement
was announced Evelyn Thaw went to
the prisoners pen to see and comfort her
husband.
AS the disagreement was announced
Thaw turned even paler than he has
been for the past several days, and when
he was remanded back to the prison at
the suggestion OF the district attorney,
he hung his head dejectedly.
Up to the very last Thaw had hoped
that the jury would finally agree upon a
verdict of not guilty.
Thaw's wife sat by his side when the
disagreement was read to the court.
| When she first came into the coart room
she took a seat but little distance away
from the prisoner, but he beckoned her
to an empty chair he had had placed be-
side his own.
All the other members of the family
were in court when the final disposition
OF the case came. The members of the
family had anticipated the result, and
showed but little emotion. Mrs. William
Thaw's face was hidden behind a heavy
black veil.
As Thaw passed them on his way ou,
OF the court house and back to his cell in
the Tonlbs, his mother and sisters smiled
at him as cheerfully as they could.
District Attorney Jerome said there
we're fourteen or fifteen other prisoners
in the Tombs awaiting trial for murder
These cases must be heard from, and il
would not be right to put them off tc
make way for second trial for Thaw
He seemed to think the new trial could
not be reached before autumn.
| Thaw's attorneys after the discharge
OF the jury said it was shown that the
jury had been divided seven to five.
When Clifford Hartridge, of Thaw',
counsel. was asked whether he would
apply for bail for his client. he declined
to answer. 1t was reported, however
that application for bail might be made
sometime tomorrow.

ELMA Wins CONTEST
Miss Stella Byles of Elma
High School, Wins
DeClamatOry Med
al in County
Contest.

MoNrEsANo, April 13-The opera
house here was packed last evening with
an enthusiastic audience from all parts
OF Chehalis county, to hear the declama.
tory contest for gold medal participat.
ed in by all the high schools of the
county.
Steamers chartered for the purpose
carried about 200 from the Harbor cities
and nearly 100 were present from Elma,
Oakville and up county points. All the
participants were warmly applauded
and, while all acquitted themselves cred.
itably, the award of the medal to Miss
Stella Byles, OF Elma, by the judges, was
considered well deserved by that young
lady.
Those contesting were: Miss Mary
Perkins, Montesano; Malcolm Stewart,
Aberdeen; Lee Carlton, Hoquiam; Miss
Stella Byes, Elma; Miss Anna Bellies,
CosmopoIis; Miss Pansy Shepherd, Oak
vile.
Miss Anna Bellies, OF Cosmopolis,
tainted in the course of her delivery and
was taken from the stage. Returning
later, she pluckily completed her part,
and was loudly applauded. The award.
ing judges were Prof. Dewey, assistant
state superintendent OF schools, Prof.
Kruger, of the olympia High school,
and Prof. Thompson of the Chehalis
High school. The presentation was
made by Prof. Dewey.
The visitors from Grays Harbor re-
turned after the exercises, and enjoyed
the homeward trip apparently as much
as ii they had brought the medal with
them.

MAY INVALIDATE LAW.
New Road District Law Contains q
Serious Error.

OLYMPIA, April 13. "A serious error has
just been discovered in house bill No. II
which will be chapter 246, session laws
of 1907, which will probably invalidate
all that part of the law increasing the
number OF road districts that county
commissioners may create totwenty-four.
If such is the case the old law limiting
the number to not more than four will
remain on the statute books.
The act is purported to repeal section
Z, chapter 1l9, Of the laws of 1908, and
the title of the bill SO designates, but
in the body of Il . act section l instead
OF section is the one repealed.
In all probability, this will render the
section and chapter above referred to
null and void, and in that event the old
law will prevail. When the law was up
for discussion in the legislature the pro-
vision increasing the number OF districts
was attacked on the ground that il
would give the county commissioners an
opportunity to build up strong political
organization. However, it is generally
conceded that the 1903 law was passed
for the same purpose.
Just where the error was made in the
bill has not yet been determined.

Jim Bowes, aided by catcher and two
pitchers from the regulars.
While the game was good one, there
was lacking that element of "foreign
foe" which is go necessary to fill both
players and fans with wild enthusiasm,
it served Its purpose; it gave the players
practice and introduced them to the fans.
They are husky bunch and showed
all the way through that they can play
ball. and pretty fast at that. They are
not only good in the field, but can cout
the ball good and hard. The writer's of
sporting news in all the cities of the
league concede Aberdeen's pitching staff
to be ahead of any other in the league.
Dick Boettiger, Of last years team, and
Strip, who are the receiving end of the
battery, are there with the goods; Streib
at first is faster than chain lightning and
as sure as fate; Anderson at second,
shows his reputation as cafe guardian
OF that sack to be we'll deserved; the
man who beats Donovan for permanent
position at third will have 10 go some
and then work over time. Mahon, OF
last years team. handled himself at
short as though he had played that posi-
ton all his life. Fitzgerald, for the
Bowes' team, played that position fully
as we'll. Van Busen, Dad Brown, Brink.
er and Hickey showed up we'll in the
ou,fied. Hickey, Starkell, Tonneson
and Brinker all showed that they are
masters of the art OF pitching.
Taking it in all OF its phases the team
is certainly faster than that OF last year,
and it also shows Manager Brown has
fully met the situation and justified the
confidence reposed in him by the di-
rectors.
The young men who played against the
regulars put up a splendid fight against
what they knew to be certain defeat,
and held the old tim4rs down to six
runs, which was better than Pendleton
did.
The fame came very near seeing a triple
play in the eighth inning; with the bases
full and no one out, Reid sent hot one
to Donovan, who threw to the plate, cut.
ting off Eserer, Boettiger threw to first
and caught Reid, Streib returned the
ball like lightning to the plate to catch
McNeill, but that speedy young man just
did beat by the fraction OF hair and
scored the only run made for that side.
Judging from the talk OF the knowing
ones after the game, Aberdeen has a
winning team.

away after defects had been pointed
out.
But, nothing daunted, young Cali
kept at work. Two years and a
half ago he was called east on busi-
ness. From time 10 time he talked
with the master mechanics of lead
ing railroads of the east and learned
what he could from them. Slowly.
but surely the idea grew in his mind
until he felt that he had something
on which he could apply for pat
ent The application was made to
the office in Washington and a
short time ago young Call received
his patent.
A few days ago young Call came
to this city to show his invention. The
working model was set up and rail-
road men invited to inspect it. They
became walking advertisements for
the invention and since then rail-
road men by the score have viewed
the invention. Questions by the hun
dreds were shot at the young invent
or, every one of which he was able
to answer to the satisfaction of the
questioners.
In Calls invention the split point
rail of the switch is eliminated and
in place the square point is substi-
tuted. The old trouble with the
square point switch rail of expan-
sion and rOntro otinn 10 ovarcnDoa h1,
a solid base for the entire working of
the switch, by which means every
part of the switch is built on a solid
block, so that If the rail expands the
block much expand with it, BY this
same invention if tie slips from its
place in the switch it in no way af-
fects the working of the switch.
A flang, or, extra rail, is placed on
the side of the track near the switch
and by small lever controlled by
the engineer a small wheel in front
of the engine is lowered and strikes
the flang or extra rail and throws the
switch, no matter at what speed the
train is coming. AS soon as the last
car of the train has passed over the
switch it is thrown back to the main
line always open for traffic without
the manual labor of turning switch.
BY an ingenious contrivance each
part of the switch is self cleaning.
One feature of the new invention that
has appealed to the raildroad men
who have seen 1t is that there is
nothing underground and but few
parts to, get out of order.

sible With the New Switch.

The Oregon Short Line is going to
build couple of switches after
models of new patented switch
worked up by Ira Call, jr., of Ban
croft, Ida, says the News of Salt
Lake. Mr.. Call has an excellent idea
in his switch and so favorably has II
impressed Hartman engineers that
they are deslrous Of seeing 1t In CON-
mission. Derailments seem to be
impossible with the Call automatic,
and a long list Of other nuisances in
present-day switches is done away
with in Mr.. Call's arrangement. Like
all really clever things, the switch
is effective and at the same time
simplicity itself.
Twelve years ago, when only Ia
years old, Call went with his parents
to Bancroft, station on the Oregon
Short Line between Pocatello and
Soda Springs. Like most boys
whose home is near railroad track
he spent a good deal of time about
the station watching trains come In
and go out.
Occasionally knd-hearted, and
at the same time tired, switchman,
would allow young Call to throw a
switch when there was no train or
boss in sight. 1t as great honor to
be allowed to throw switch, but II
struck the youngster as pretty hard
work.
One day the idea struck him, why
not have the train or man on the
train turn that switch? He asked
the men In the yard and received the
answer
"Well, a good many fool men have
tried to invent something of that
kind, but 1t won't 60"
Call had a different idea. The
more he thought about 1t the more
he became convinced that there wa!
better way. About four years age
he started to plan an automatic
switch. Everybody laughed at him
but every spare minute that he hat
he worked on his idea. Model after
model was made only to be thrown
