Decides to Visit Chinatown Regard
less of Protests of Owner and By
standers.
A market day stunt that was not
on the program occurred here this
morning when a bull led by S. NJ.
Richardson, broke loose on Main
street and caused much excitement
for a short time. The bull was being
taken to the fair pavilion by Mr..
Richardson and they were bringing
up the rear of a livestock procession.
At the corner of Main and Alta
streets the bull glanced towards Chi
natown and the sight looked good to
him. Without waiting for the con-
sent of his owner, his majesty start
ed in the direction of the big Chi
nese new year lanterns and Mr.. Rich
ardson was unable to stop him.
Breaking loose from his driver the
bull headed for the sidewalk and
crowd started in pursuit One man
tried to stop him by stepping on the
dragging rope, but the rope was
jerked from under him like a flash
and the man sat down upon the pave
ment At the corner the bull him
self fell down and several rushed to
grab the rope. Getting up, the bull
started on his way, shaking off his
wouldbe captors like straw, and pro-
ceeded on his way. A little later he
consented to be taken.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1908-02-08

Standing 10 to in favor of ac-
quittal the jury in the case of Joseph
Haaga reported this morning that
they could not agree and they were
accordingly discharged by Judge
Bean. That Haaga will be retired
probably at the April session, was an
nounced shortly afterwards by Dis
trict Attorney Phelps.
That the Haaga jury should fail
to agree caused but little surprise in
view of the fact that no verdict was
returned yesterday. But the fact
that it was hung by two holding out
for conviction rather than by one or
more obstinate ones for acquittal
created some astonishment
Among most of those who had fol-
lived the trial the belief existed that
the standing of the jury was nearly
the reverse of what 1t proved to be.
Immediately after the discharge OF
the jury the following statement of
the jurys position was given to the
East Oregon by Foreman Wilder:
On the first ballot six voted for
acquittal; five for conviction and one
blank. The second ballot stood nine
to three for acquittal. After that the
voting changed many times before Il
settled down to 10 to 2 at noon yes
terday. At one time II men voted
for acquittal and on the following
ballot three went over to the other
side, making the vote to L. No
change occurred after IL o'clock yes
terday noon.
F. NJ. Kent of Milton and William
Caldwell of this city, were the two
men who held out for a conviction,
though one of them cast his ballot
once for acquittal in hopes OF ending
the deadlock
When the jury was discharged this
morning 1t was after 80 hours of de-
liberation. Before going into the Jury
room the ~ men listened to testi-
mony for six days and one entire day
of argument. BY reason OF the many
witnesses called 1t has been an ex-
pensive trial and this will have to be
again incurred in April.

BELGIAN EXPOSITION IN 1910.
VIII Give American Producers OPP
portunity to Place Goods Adyan-
tageOnslY before World.


tageously Before World.
Baron Moncheur, the Belgian min
ister at Washington, transmits copies
Of a circular, containing information
concerning the general organization
of the Universal and International
exposition to be held at Brussels dur
ing the year 1910, beginning in April
and remaining open for at least six
months.
II is further stated that the execu-
tive committee has adopted the prin-
ciple of division into national Sec
tions; that is to say, the grouping Of
the works and produce of each coun-
try in combination with the general
system of classification.
1t is believed that the Belgian ex
position of 1910 will afford an ex-
cellent opportunity for American
producers to place their products ad-
vantageously before the world. Every
international exposition in which
American goods are not adequately
represented has a tendency to cur
tail the sales of those goods in for
eign markets by increasing the sales
of like goods produced by other
countries when the latter are proper
ly represented in the exposition.
This is true particularly in the case
of manufactured articles. but it is
true also, to some extent. in the case
of manufactured articles, but 1t is
true also. to some extent, in the case
of exports of meat products and fine
cereals. For example, Argentina's
exports of meat products to Europe
have increased materially within the
past two years, due partly to the ad-
vert sement they receive at the expo
sitions. South American cereals are
also steadily becoming better known
in Europe.
It is believed that the failure Of
American. manufacturing interests to
participate in the recent exhibition
at Milan has been prejudic'al to
American commercial interests In
Italy. There is a question, too, of the
maintenance of national prestige,
which has often an influence COM
mercially more far-reaching than is
generally understood.
The value of total exports of Amer
lean merchandise to Belgium in the
last year was about $5O.OOO,OOO and
almost every line of manufacturing
industry was represented in those
exports.
Assurance is given that the neces-
sary measures will be taken for pro-
tecting in Belgium patentable inven-
tions, Industrial designs or models,
and manufacturing or trademarks
appearing at the exhibition.
