Fail to Reach a Verdict After an
All Night Discussion.
HISTORY OF THE CASE
Trial Fraught With Rumors Of
Tampering With Jury.
A Grand Jury Investigation
Promised by the State.

Chicago May 2S.-After but few hours
sleep the jurors who have been con-
sidering the fate of Martin B. Skinny
Madden. M. J. Boyle and Fred A.
Pouchot, labor leaders on trial charged
with grating, were said to have ceased
their attempts to reach an agreement
while waiting for breakfast.
The trial of Madden. and his asso-
ciates, in the building trades unions.
| began May 10. The course of the trial
was marked by repeated rumors of at
tempts to influence the jury and at one
stage of the proceedings, Judge Nc
Surly directed that no more visitors
be allowed to approach Madden in the
court room. A grand jury investigation
of the activities of several men while
the jury was being selected has been
promised by the states attorney.
The proceedings against the labor
men started after a tieup of the work
on the new Chicago e Northwestern
railway station. Contractors complain
| ed that the strike was merely an at
torney called in a number of contractors
and after much trouble obtained the
information upon which the indictments
were based.
The trial centered around a strike
which was called at the plant of the
Joseph Kicka company, picture frame
manufacturer, last September, which
was settled November 49, The state
charged that an agent of the firm paid
Madden $1,000 in downtown saloon.
| Madden has been president Of the
Associated Building Trades, an organi-
zation composed of more than 300 un-
ions. for 13 years. At one time he was
in control of the Chicago Federation of
Labor, but he was put down and his
union was expelled from membership
| after a series of rough meetings. In
one of these riots, Mike Donnolly for
mer president of the Butcher Work
men, was slugged SO severely that he
never has recovered.
| The Madden jury is composed of two
lunion and ten nonunion men

TO SAVE THE FISH.
Commissioners of United States and
Canada Meet at Washington.

Washington, May 2S.-Commission-
ers and council operating under the
treaty between Great Britain and the
United States providing for the adop-
tion of uniform and effective meas
ures for the protection of the food
fishes in the waters contiguous to
the United States and Canada, met
here today at the state department.
Prof. David Starr Jordan is the Unit
ed States, and Prof. Edward E.
Prince the Canadian commissioner,
while c. P. Anderson is legal adviser
on the part of this government, and
n. 8. Gisbourne, on the part of Can
ada.
The commissioners have been at
work for about a year and have COM
pleted a set of regulations to govern
fishing, which if adopted by both gov
ernments. will go far towards protect
ing and preserving the fish and will
avoid friction and strife arising from
lack of knowledge regarding the linn
itations put on the citizens cf the re-
spective countries by the other along
the border line.
Recent dispatches from Canada,
have intimated that the agreement
reached by the com missionerS is in
the main satisfactory to that govern
ment AS soon as accepted by both
governments it will be proclaimed.

Negroes Given Preference.

Augusta. Ga. May 2s.-A negro
fireman, John Curry, was on the en-
gine of the mail train which left here
for Atlanta this morning and express
sions of resentment were heard over
the fact that the management of the
railroad used negro firemen almost ex-
clusively in starting it's trains.
Ten trains were started in all and
nine of them were fired by negroes. A
number of white men brought here as
strike breakers, and kept under guard
for several days, were available as
fremen and despite the fact that there
has heretofore been opposition to the
strike breakers, the opinion was ex-
pressed that less i'll feeling would have
been aroused by the use of the white
men than negroes.
The question whether the railroad
by putting on negroes has decided to
have the race issue threshed out at
once was very generally discussed.
Many persons said they preferred to
do without mail rather than have it
brought by negro fremen.

Presbyterian General Assembly
Condemns the Action
Of Tennessee Judiciary in the
Church Cases.
CHURCH AND STATE.
Each Possesses Distinct Juris-
dictiOn 1t Is Declared.
Addresses by Methodist Bishops
Warren and Mcdowell,

Denver, Colo, May 2S-The church
locked horns with the state this morn
ing when the general assembly of the
Presbyterian church in effect con-
demned the action of the state courts
of Tennessee in setting aside of the
Presbyterian church in the United
States of America with the Cumber-
land Presbyterian church.
The assembly's criticism of the
courts, which was unsparing. was
based on the report of the committee of
church corporation, which report was
written by William Henry Roberts, D.
D., L. L. D., the stated clerk of the as
sembly, chairman of the committee and
for more than 25 years, regarded as the
lawgiver of the assembly. 1t set out in
effect that of the three established doc
trines with respect to the relation of
church and state, they being the Ro
man Catholic wherein the church is su
perior to state: the theory recognized
in England and some parts of the
United States, that the state is superior
to the church; and the church CaIVlnlst
wherein church and state possess dis
tinct jurisdictions, the latter is the pre-
ferable view and will be held to in the
Presbyterian church.
The report rebukes the Tennessee
courts for presuming to pass judg-
ment upon matter of church doctrine.
1t recognizes the right of courts to
pass upon disputes concerning property
but where a religious belief Is con-
cerned the report contended that this
shall be adjudicated in the church
councils. The assembly also reafhrmed
the recommendations of the assembly
of 1906, at which the union of churches
was effected. The report of the COM
mittee was based on the legal action
begun by anti-consolidation members
of the Cumberland church werein they
were supported by the Tennessee courts
and given possession of a number of
valuable churches which otherwise
would have become the property of the
United church. 1t was the contention
in these suits that the union forced
members of the Cumberland church to
recognize a doctrine different from the
one to which they had originally sub
scribed.
During the morning the assembly re-
scinded the action of the latest assem-
bly, making it imperative that the re-
tiring moderator be ex-officio chair
man of the committee on bills and ov-
ertures He will be chairman only OF
the executive commission. A resolution
also was adopted making it illegal for
a commissioner to serve on both ju-
dicial and executive branches of the
assembly at the same time.
The assembly heard short addresses
from Bishop H. W. Warren of Color
ado and Bishop William Mcdowell of
Chicago both of the Methodist Episco-
nal church.

CRIMSON IS OUT.
Associated Harvard Clubs Are Meeting
in Cincinnati.

Cincinnati, May 28-The crimson
will predominate in Cincinnati TODAY
and tomorrow in honor of the meeting
here in annual session of the Asso-
ciated Harvard clubs. bringing togeth :
er Harvard graduates from all parts
of the country The meeting was
formally opened in the Sinlon hotel this
morning by Robert J. Carey, president
stituent clubs in attendance.
An important feature of the session
today was the report of the committee
on public school administration. The
committee recommended that in all
cities excepting New York all boards
of education should consist of five
seven or nine members and also en-
phasized the Importance of the merit
system.
The programme today included dis
cussion of Harvard's future policy by
former President Eliot and President
Lowell.
President Carey declared in his ad-
dress that there are SO constituent Har-
ward clubs scattered all over the globe
and that the Harvard clubs at New
Duryport, Mass, Dayton, O., Toledo
southern California and the Philippines
were now seeking admission.
TT would appear that the Associated
Harvard clubs is becoming what might
colloquially be called a world power as
distinguished from local power" he
declared. 1.-THE Associated clubs now
represent a membership of more thar
900 Harvard graduates. The scope oi
the body has broadened. We have now
stitution. We have outgrown our pres
ent machinery, our association should
have it's permanent beard of managers
and it's standing committees"

New Law Goes Into Effect With
Publication of Statutes.
DRUGGISTS HARD HIT.
Cannot Sell IntOxicants for Any
Purpose Whatever.
Stringent Child Labor Law Also
Goes Into Effect.

The new prohibition law goes into eff
feet at midnight tonight and the at
torney general and his assistants have
expressed themselves in no uncertain
terms as being anxious and determined
to go very deeply into the matter with
any violator of this law. All druggists
permits to sell intoxicants expire to-
night and the probate judges of the
state have explicit instructions and ex-
plantations regarding the law.
i Kansas has been a prohibition state
for many years but about two years
ago the real enforcement of the pro-
hibitory law was begun and the joints
were put out of business in places
where the saloons had fourished un-
disturbed Then Attorney General
Jackson asked fer more radical laws
? governing the sale of intOXicants in
! this state by the druggists. He wanted
a state commission to pass on permits
and he wanted an inquisition made
legal so he could get evidence. He got
more than he asked for from the last
legislature That body passed law
prohibiting the sale of intoxicants in
any form in the state for any purpose
or by anybody.
Kansans will enter the desert tonight.
Liquor is to become a thing of the past
in this state if the new law works well.
Many of the best lawyers in the state
have declared that the absolute prohi-
bition law is unconstitutional 1t IS
likely that both druggists and club
houses will make a test of the law be-
fore giving up for good.
All the laws passed by the last legis-
lsture and not printed in the official
state paper last winter and spring will
go into effect tonight with the publ
cation of the statutes of 1909 tomor-
row.
DR. Crumbine, of the state board of
health, is going to g that the
weights and measures law is rigidly
enforced as regarding the sale of ber-
ries, vegetables and other food prod
ucts.
w. L. A. Johnston, state labor COM
missioner will take it upon himself to
enforce the child labor law which goes
into effect tonight. The most import
ant provision of this law is that section
which ferbids boys and girls from work
Ing after 6 o'clock at night. This sec
tion applies to employment of children
in theaters or on lecture platforms and
even to children who sell peanuts and
popcorn and soft drinks at shows after
o'clock. Telegraph messenger boys
cannot work during school terms or af-
ter night at all. The state labor COM
missioner Is having trouble al the be-
ginning of his enforcement of the law
with a theater company in this state
employing a child in one of its acts.
The company wants to finish its dates
booked ahead before observing the law.
One of the local theaters is affected by
the law and will change it's bill to-
night.

the postmark of Seattle has been re-
ceived by Mrs. Frank S. Curtis from
her husband, who disappeared from the
Wayne hotel in Detroit on April 27,

fear that his mind has failed him.

road in West Virginia. 1t was on that
business that he went to Michigan

! defendants have been returned by the
| federal grand jury. The accused men
are charged with obtaining titles from

Four true bills were returned, three
men being indicted in one bill. Bonds
in each case were fixed at So, 900. 1t is
not yet known when the trial will take
place.
Excitement attending the sitting of
| the grand jury was heightened by a
| court order being served on Col Will
| lam Stryker. editor of the Tulsa Daily
Democrat citing him to appear before
| the federal court in McAleSter, June IA,
| to show cause why he should not be
held in contempt of court. Stryker, it
| is alleged, has been publishing articles
| in his paper derogatory to Assistant
/ District Attorney w. J. Gregg, and it
was the latter who filed the complaint.
The indictments returned We're the
second such instruments to be found
against the men indicted, the original
| indictment being returned in Muskogee,
February a. At that time seven men
We're indicted Governor Haskell being
among the number, but this time Jesse
Hill was not indicted with his former
co-defendants.
On April 10. after the cases had gone
to trial the indictments were quashed
on motion of the defense, Judge Mar
| shall of Utah holding that as the grand
jury drawn under the federal law and
composed of % men, was not privileged
/ to act on alleged offenseS committed in
the old Indian territory The present
grand jury had but 16 members and
was drawn under the laws of Arkan-
sas which were in effect before Okla
homa became a state.
The second grand jury, which was
summoned April 80 was dismissed on
motion of the government attorneys,
claimed it had been tampered with and
the indictments now found were drawn
up by the third grand jury empaneled
for that purpose.
Over a hundred witnesses have been
brought from dozen different states
II crersed by the government that the
governor and his associates used dunn
my entries to secure lots from the
government.
Governor Haskell made the following
statement:
"As a result of four government at
torneys and an army Of secret service
men surrounding the grand jury and
limiting the testimony to just what
suited them, indictments have been Sc
cured against me. I am thoroughly sat
isfied that when the whole facts are
made known in the open the govern
| of these cases, which practically all the
people of this locality know have no
merit, and that there has been no vio-
lation of the law in any particular. The
| later disclosures in this case will speak
