THAW JURY STILL OUT:
NO AGREEMENT AT NOON
After Being Out Forty-three Hours
Jury Has Made no IntImation

New York, April 12.-(Special
to Pioneer. 1.-The Thaw jury is
apparently as far away from
agreeing upon verdict as when
they retired shortly after five
o'clock Wednesday evening, and
are continuing today the task of
trying to reach some sort of an
agreement.

from the jury room up to 1890

Fitzgerald ordered luncheon re-

The most remarkable feature
of the jury's long consideration
of the case is the fact that not
once during the forty. three
hours that had elapsed up to
noon today, had the jury sug-
gested it could not agree, and
thus ask for discharge from
further service.

SET TLEMENT LIKELY
Negotiations to End Central Amer
iCan War Continue.
DESIRE TO CAPTURE B0NILlA

Nicaraguans Reluctant to Cease Hos
TITLES Until Head Of Honduran
Army is Prisoner--severaI Pro-
posaIs for Peace Submitted.
Washington, April 1.-THE state
department has received dispatch
from Philip Brown, secretary to the
United States legations in Guatemala
and Honduras, saying that negotia-
lions are pending for the settlement
Of the dispute between Nicaragua and
Honduras. Mr.. Brown is still at La
.. Union and it appears that he is acting
in the interest of Salvador in treating
with Nicaragua. This is entirely on
his own initiative and does not in
volve the United States in any man
! ner, according to state department
officials. It is said that the greatest
difficulty attending settlement is the
keen desire Of the Nicaraguan forces
to capture President Bonilla, who is
at the head of the Honduran army in
the west of that republic. To effect
this capture would necessitate re-
newed fighting and the other coun-
tries in Central America are trying to
avoid this and it is the desire also of
the United States and Mexico that
hostilities be brought to a close at
once.
Ambassador Creel of Mexico is the
| man looked to here as the mediator.
Representatives from all countries in
Central America have confidence in
him and his counsel is sought by both
sides. AS the result of conferences
between Senior Creel and state depart
ment officials Senior Corea, the Mic
araguan minister to Washington, has
submitted to his government several
proposed plans for settlement of a
character that would make it possible
for victorious nation to accept and
at the same time make no changes in
the geography of Central America.
Senior Corea has had constant inter.
change of communication with his
government and the indications are
that a settlement is not far distant
President .Zelaya has made sugges-
tons Of changes in the plans, but none
of the parties to the negotiations feel
at liberty to discuss them.

THOUSANDS ARE DYING.
Urgent Appeal for Aid for Starving
- Russians.

London, April 11-Dr. Kennard,
commissioner Of the Society of
Friends, who was sent to investigate
the Russian famine, writing from Sa-
mara, In the heart of the famine dis
trict, under date of April 8, appeals
to the United States and Great Britain
to promptly send help. He says:
There are '20,000,000 people dis
tributed in the southeastern provinces
Of Russia who without aid cannot live
to see another harvest" ..s@
In Samara alone, the commissioners
adds, thousands are dying and 100000
are starving. OF the latter only 372,.
700 are getting relief, dole of one
meal in twenty-four hours. AS meal
Is only two pounds of bread and a
bowl of soup this, according to the
commissioners, means dying by de-
grees. Even this meager dole in
countless instances is divided among
many mouths. There are only sufti-
Client funds on hand to last until May
1, whereas money will be needed until
the end Of July, when the harvest will
bring relief. The commissioner espe-
cially appeals for canned milk. He
says there are 100000 children in Sa-
mara province who have no milk and
are forced to eat coarse bread made
OF acorns, powdered wood and cucum-
bers, resulting in thousands of deaths
and much disease.
In conclusion the commissioner ap-
peals to the Anglo-Saxons for $4,000, 900
to save the "20,0OO,OOO Of human be-
1ngs who are dying lingering deaths
from starvation"

The "PRAIRIE LEAGUE"
new BALL ORGANIZATION
Bemidii Will Be a Member of the Min
esota-Dakota Eight-CIub
League


(SpeciaD-The preliminary steps
were taken esterday in Grand
Forks for the organization of a
base ball league to include the
principal cities of North Dakota,
and Crookston, East Grand Forks
and Bemidji in Minnesota.
There we're eight cities repres-
ented at the meeting, as follows:
Grand Forks, Fargo, Bismarck,
Wahpeton, Minot, Grafton,
Crookston and Bemidji.
The proposition to form a ten
club circuit with Jamestown and
Devils Lake included with the
cities already named was con.
sidered, aud was favored by the
representatives of the cities
present. 1t is considered desir-
able that Devils Lake and James
town be included, if possible, so
that there will not be too big a
Jump between towns. It was
put up to Minot and Bis marck
to get the other two towns in
line. 1t was decided that. the
salary limit shall be $500 and a
guarantee of $25 be put up for a
visiting team and $25 in case of
rain. A deposit of $780,. will be
required for each team. These
regulations were unanimously
agreed upon.
A mittee consisting of W.
j. Price Of Fargo, W. S. Lycan
of Crookston and James Dinnie
Of Grand Forks was appointed to
arrange a circuit and report at a
meeting to be called within ten
days. A schedule also will be
arranged at the meeting.
1t has been decided to include
East Grand Forks and Grand
Forks as one club, as it is prob
able that the games will be played
on the grounds in East Grand
Forks. Grand Forks has been
unable to have Sunday ball on
account of the objections of some
of the church people, and this
new arrangement will overcome
this difficulty East Grand Forks
is pleased with the arrangement
and will give the team strong
financial support. y
The name "Prairie League"
Was suggested for the new or
ganjzation and this probably will
be choser. The meeting was
attended by Former President
Price Of the Northern Copper
Country league, representing
Fargo; James Dlnnie, Grand
Forks; D. J. Laxdal of Cavalier,
holding the proxy of Wahpeton;
G. r. Leonard of Minot and r. j.
Anderson Of Grafton. Mr.. Price
had the proxies for W. S. Lycan
of Crookston, Frank Lycan of
Bemidjj and the Bismarck team.
Mr.. Price has favorable reports
from all the cities with the ex-
ception Of Devils Lake and
jamestown. The meeting was
adjourned subject to the call of
Mr.. Price.
