If eleven men agree and one is OBJ
streperous or has conscientious scru-
pies, it is worth considering whether
or not the ends of justice would be
secured by permitting the eleven to
return the verdict. If eleven men
who heard the evidence in the Bin
ger Hermann trial felt that he was
guilty of attempting to defraud the
government, the chances are that he
is guilty. But the laws delay is
one of our American shortcomings
and the people will have to gracious
ly submit to another expensive trial.

face and completely destroyed Other
parts of the body, so that the only
way he was recognized was by his
knife and pair of overalls he had or
at the time of his death and which
his wife identified. After mutilatine
the body, it is charged, they dragged
it through the woods for mile ant
threw it in a ditch The defense will
ask for a special venire with which
to try the case, and it is the opinion
! that it will be a hard task to selec
12 competent men to sit on the granC
jury.
They were arraigned before Judg'
Roam and both pleaded not guilty.

Object of Demonstration.

In order that the crowds should not
be disappointed, on this account, Mr..
Jackson said that the committee de-
cided to give a demonstration" on
the business streets. In no sense

Estes were offered $25 each to partic-
ipate in the demonstration" this
money to be paid by the Commercial
Club. Mr.. Jackson stated that if the
participants had violated the law, he
was glad they had been arrested, but

respectfully asked to mol PROSE- the

NO CHANCE 0F WAR
SAYS PROF. JORDAN

New York, Oct. 15.-Prof, David
Starr Jordan, president of Leland
Stanford, Jr., University, who has
been abroad lecturing on universal
peace, is in New York on his way
homeward.
While abroad he found little indi-
cation of approaching war anywhere
in Europe.
There is no war coming" he said,
"and the countries building warships
are running themselves. Business is
good in many ,countrieA including
Germany, but the prospects in Europe
are not good when viewed from the
standpoint of prosperity. 1t is the
peasants, and not business men, who
are paying bills and they are begin
ming to grumble. That is not a good
sign. 1t is always that class that
bears the burden for increasing ar
gument.
Gas to the prospect of war between
Germany and England, there is about
as much chance for a conflict as be-
tween the United States and Mars.
Building warships is throwing
away money. War at the present
time between civilized nations occu-
| pies only the minds of frenzied
few. The only battles between Eng
land Germany will be on paper. In
London a few newspapers seem to
have the monopoly on it,"
