AT 9:45 o'clock this morning the jury
came in and stated that they had been
unable to agree AND asking that certain
portions OF A. Truba's testimony be read
To them and that the judges charge re.
garding degrees Of assault be repeated.
This was done, and the jury went back
to their deliberations Many of them
looked as If they hadn't slept much dur
ing the night. Up to that time they had
had the case for 23 hours.
Again the jury came in at ll:45 and
reported that they felt they could not
ger together on the proposition. There
upon Judge Waterman stated that he

Inscription. But Says He win
Do IS Directed BY Congress.

Washington. D. c., Nov. la.-In order
70 make clear the preaident's position In
opposition to placing In God We Trust"
upon future United States coins. Secre.
tary Loeb today gave out copy Of a
letter sent TO all correspondents who
have written 20 the White House, pro.
testing against the absence Of these
words on the new gold pieces. : The
president SAYS there are no legal war.
rants for the use Of the words on the
coins.
Not only II does no good. but a posi-.
tive harml "and a In ciIect an irrever-
ence which comes dangerously close TO
sacrilege" A beautiful and solemn sen.
tcnce such as the one In question should
be treated and uttered only with that
fine reverence which necessarily implies
a certain exaltation Of spirit. It Is cmi
ncntly unwise to cheaper Il by use on
coins, just as II would cheaper It BY nse
on postage stamps or in advertisements.
In all my life ! have never heard any
human being speak rcyerently Of this
motto on coins or show any sign of its
having appealed 70 any higher emotion"
The president goes on 10 give exam
pies Of irreverent use such as. In God
We trust for other eight cents etc. lie
concludes. III Congress. alters the law
and directs me 20 replace on the coins
the sentence in question. the directions
win be Immediately put into effect; but
! very earnestly trust that the religious
sentiment Of the country, the spirit Of
reverence In the country, will prevent
any such action being taken"
