Feeling Grows. Mistrial
 Will Result.
COOPERS ARE IN SUSPENSE
No Intimation From Jury In
 Famous Case.
Judge Hart Late In Evening An nounees That He VIII Not Hear from Twelve Men Un-
 til Today.

Nashville. Tenn, MaTch 1S.-Anothes | day passed and no intimation of ap | agreement came from the room in | eide the fate of Col D. B. Cooper and Robin Cooper and John D. sharp. for the murder of former United States Senator E. W. Carmack. This is the second day of suspense and the feeling Is generally growing that there will be a disagreement. Counsel on both sides, however, hold that there will be verdict. The jury went to supper at 6 o'clock this evening. ate In silence. and hurried back to the big room to re- sume their deliberations. Each time they leave the room. they lock the door, and one of their number carries the key.
 Judge Hart remained at the court house until noon. He then left and communicated with Sheriff Borum by telephone twice during the afternoon, once at 2:45. and again at 5:i5. Upon the latter occasion he told the sherin that even if the jury reached a de- cision, he would not receive 1t before a. m. tomorrow.
 Immediately after supper. the jurors delib berated for a while, but at p. m. they dropped the discussion. called in the deputies and began to amuse them selves.
 Rumoru of Verdict.
 There are various rumors afioat to. night as to an agreement-one that sharp had been acquitted and the Coop CTS convicted. another that all three had been convicted. but none seems based on any foundation or fact.
 Although the jury arose before day. light this morning, busted the depu- ties and again resumed their delibera- tions. the hours passed without any indication from them that they had reached an agreement.
 Judge Hart convened court at a. m., and began the regular grind Of criminal cases. In one hour. fourteen negroes. accused of minor misdemean- ors and felonies. were tried by jurtes and convicted, most of them on pleas. Many in the audience. who had been regular attendants at the Cooper trial, marveled at the expedition with which their eases were handisd as compared with the nine weeks devofed to the famous trial which ia yet to Dc finished.
 The jurors had breakfast at a. m. and again returned to their room. Asked when he would cali the twelve men into court. Judge Hart replied:
 Tt Is their move; I will not send for them until they send word to me that they wish to see me-"
 Much loud argument marked the morning deliberations of tho jury. At II a. m the voices died away and the jurors sent out for drinking water.

unusual emphasis on the necessity
for amendments to the Hepburn
rate law. In his DesMoines speech
particularly, he outlined the pro-
gram in regard to this legislation
which he is desirious that Congress
should consider at its next session.
He made it clear that his purpose
was not to indulge in a destructive
criticism Of the present law but
rather to formulate a constructive
plan by which it could be made
more effective and comprehensive.
