STE|NHE|L ACQUITTED
Five Jurors Were Firm for Ac.
quittaI From the First.

M. Sproek, a Successful Music Com
poser, Was Impressed by Accused'r
Apparent Sincerity - Length oi
Jury's Deliberation Explained by
obscurity of Questions Put to Them
to Answer-Belef That the Crime
Was Committed by Burglars.
The members of the jury which
acquitted Nine. Steinheil at Paris
have of course been interviewed.
NJ. Sporck, a successful music compoe!
or, who distinguished himself by the
care with which he took notes through
out the trial, says he began the case
Without the slightest previous csnvic-
tions about 1t. He was impressed by
Nine. Steinheil's sincerity. He is pro.
fessionally well acquainted in the the.
atrical world, and he became con-
vinced that she was not acting.
Five Of the jurymen were firm par
tlsans Of acqulttal throughout. NJ
Sporck's notes show that he was es-
pecially impressed by Detective
Pance's declaration that he was alb.
solutely sure of Nine. Steinheils
innocence. He explained the length
of the jury's deliberations by the OBJ
security of the questions they were to
answer.
The first question, rs Nine. Stein
he'll guilty of the voluntary homicide
of her mother?" was negatived by a
vote of to 8, one juror not voting
The second question. "ls Nine Stein
he'll guilty Of voluntary homicide of
her husband?" was negatived by vote
of 10 to 2. The third question,
Were these homicldes premedtated ?"
required an appeal to the judge. 1t
was then negatived 8 TO 3.
The Judge was again called on for
the fourth question, did the second
homicide precede, accompany or fol-
low the fourth?" After being informed
by the Judge the jury negatived the
question by vote of 10 to 2.
The seven subsidiary questions tend
ing to establish completely in the crime
took longer to answer. The first two,
"Is II established that q voluntary
homicide was committed on Nine.
Japy?" and rs Nine. Steinheil guilty
of having Willingly aided in this hon.
icide," were each negatived by a vote
of Q to 3. The third subsidiary ques-
tion, WAS Nine. Japy Nine. Stein
heils legitimate mother?" puzzled the
jury, who thought it contained a trap
of some sort.
Consequently the judge was recalled
and he explained that the code allows
no extenuating circumstances in cases
of parricide. The question was then
ignored. The fourth question, "Is it
established that voluntary homicide
was committed on NJ. Steinheil?" was
negatived to T. The other questions,
"Was there premeditaticn?" Did the
homicide of NJ. Steinheil precede, ac-
company or follow the voluntary homi-
eide of Nine. Japy?" and SIS Nine.
Steinheil guilty of aiding therein?"
were all negatived to 3.
NJ. Sporck believes that the crime
was committed by ordinary burglars,
who left Nine. Steinheil alive in order
to incriminate her. Another juror
confesses that he was greatly influ-
enced by the fact that he has = daugh-
ter of about the same age as Marthe
Nine. Steinheil's daughter.

FEAR OF GHOULS
A Watchman Stationed Every Night
at Grave of E. n. Hartman.

Fearing ghouls may try to desecrate
the grave of the late Edward H. Harri.
man in the graveyard of st. Johns
Protestant Episcopal church at Ar.
zen, a watchman has been stationed
there and is on duty every night. A
time clock is stationed at the Harrf
man grave and the watchman has to
visit it every little while during the
night
Contrary to reports at the time of
the funeral the Hartman grave is
not blasted from solid rock Only a
portion of it is in rock, considerable
soil having been removed before rock
was found. The sides of the vault
are laid in cement and the top sealed
by IS inches of concrete reinforced
with heavy chain, which was form
erly used as derrick chain at the
Hartman mansion, and there is little
chance for ghouls breaking in.

New York, May 7.-District Attorney Jerome was the chief speaker and guest of honor tonight at dinner at Delmonico's.

 is speech was a review of his official actions. Mir. Jerome said the people felt bitter about the ethical features of certain traction and insurance mat ters.' The public, he said, wanted a victim, and be cause the ethical fea- lures of the situation often looked like larceny. the public concluded they were larceny. The public, he added, wanted a rich victim, but he knew the end of the stress would come, and it has come

G0T AS FAR
 AS MIR. FORD With s2O0,00O of Ca|houn's
 Alleged Bribe Money THERE THE TRAIL ENDS
Ruef Also Traced to the Same Spot, and the Prose- cution Expects JurytoMake
 a Deduction as to Further
 Movements of the Money.

San Francisco, May 1.-The prose- cution in the case of Patrick Calhoun, president of the United Railroads, on trial for offering bribes, continued to- day its efforts to trace $20000O paid Tirey Ford at the mint on Calhoun's order in 1906, to the hands of the su- pervisors, or, rather, to the alleged agent, Ruef, from the office of Ford, where the last positive evidence left It.
 Acting Treasurer Dahler of the com pany, through whose hands all moneys received or paid out must pass, was the most important witness since he showed that this great sum had not been handled in the ordinary course of business, or, in fact, had not passed through his office at all
 From this statement and the previ- ous testimony as to the visits of Ruef to Ford's office, it is the hope Of the prosecution to convince the jury that no other deduction is possible but that the money was paid to Ruef and by him disbursed to the supervisors
 The only other feature of the day was the testimony of George Wilcutt, secretary of the United Railroads. who brought to court the minute books of the directors meeting in 1906. Other witnesses were Mrs. Sittenfeld, Ruers sister, and Alexander Latham, Ruers chauffeur

WHAT REVISION MEANT
Senator Clapp Believes That if It Was Not Intended to Be Downward That There Would Have Been No De- mand for a Change.

Washington, May 7.-The senate voted to fix the duty on lead con- tained in lead ore at 1lsc a pound, the rate of the Dingley law. Fifty three senators, including all the re- publicans present and Senators Hughes of Colorado. McEnery of Louisiana, democrats, voted for the duty and nineteen democrats against it.
 During the day, Mir. Clapp of Min nesota, spoke at length in favor of lowering tariff duties. MT. owen of Oklahoma upheld the constitutionality of the income tax.
 The lead schedule was then taken up and MT. Stone thought 1i2c a pound was more than ought to be levied even from the standpoint of a protectiOnist In the opinion of MT. Carter a decided majority of the sen ate was in accord with the lead in dustry. A rate of %c, he declared was ruinous. The proposition of MT. Stone was characterized as element ary.
 Resuming his opposition to the duty on pig lead in addition to the duty of l 11ac a pound on lead ore, MT. Bristow declared that it cost no more to make pig lead in this country than abroad. Mir. Bristow was interrupted by Messrs. AIdrich. Hepburn, Borah, Shoot, Sutherland and others, con- tending that the labor cost of pro- ducing lead was enough greater than ,F 9sc proposed by the committee on finance.
 Mir. LaFollette read from a news paper a statement of an agreement among the lead interests of the world by which they were assured of harmonious action in fixing prices. The statement also declared that the Guggeinheims and other lead produc- CTS were included in the combination. A vote was taken on the committee amendments, the effect of which was only to fix the duty on lead in the ore.
 In his speech, MT. Clapp declared that the promise of the republican party was that the tariff should be revised downward. This promise was made in response to a positive de- m&nd. He said the position of the protected interests was, We should let well enough alone" on the part of the consumers the tariff should be revised"
 You can't tell me-" he added, that the latter did not mean revised downward.
 If the demand for revision did not mean a changing of duties downward it did not mean anything

GRAIN.

Chicago, May Tt was a day of wild and irregular price fluctuations in the wheat pit and trading was also cratic. Business during the first half of the session was limited, but there was extreme activity in the final hour. A notable feature was the rel ative strength of distant futures, par ticularly December. which closed with net gain of 3%c. May and July showed gainss-of only Ac. Trading centered around the government crop report The market opened weak, chiefly due to an unexpected decline at Liverpool. Prices, however, quick
 ly advanced on active demand for the deferred months, based mainly on the absence of rain in Kansas. Toward the middle of the day the July de- livery slumped violently owing to general selling and dropped to sf.131s. Following the publication of the government report July advanced to $117A, September to $1.0Sa and De- cember to s1.O7&. Sentiment con-
