FORD JURY DIsAGREEs.
Four stand For Conviction Of Woman
Charged With BIackmaIl.

CINCINNATI, Feb. THE jury In.
the case of Mrs. jeanette Stewart-
Ford, charged with blackmailing
Charles L. Warmer, defaulting treas
urer OF the Big Four railroad. failed
to reach an agreement and was dis
charged.
Judge Swing stated after he dis
missed the jury that he had been In
formed that on the last ballot eight
Jurors had stood for acquittal ana
four for conviction.
The unexpected end to the sensa-
tional case was explained by two or
the jurymen as due to the fact that q
majority Of their colleagues refused to
give any credit to the testimony OF
Warmer. They asserted that man
who had confessed TO embezzling for
20 years would not hesitate TO perjure
himself against woman who. he be-
lieved. had been the cause OF his ex-
posture.
Prosecutor Hunt announced that he
expected to bring the woman to trial
again within the next three weeks.
At the same time he intimated that
he might abandon the case.
Pending her trial, Mrs. Ford was
released under $500 bonds, furnished
by a bonding company. This bond
will have TO be renewed today.

MANY TALESMEN
HAVE OPINIONS
Selection of Jury To Try DR.. George
A. Fritch, Alleged MalpractitiOner,
Draws Along Slowly.

The slow and tedious process Of Sc
lecting a jury in the case OF DR..
George A. Fritch, accused of causing
the death Of Mabel Millman, of Ann
Arbor, by criminal operation, was
taken up again in Judge Phelan's court
Monday. There were ten men in the
jury box when court adjourned at
noon. but there is no certainty about
the time full panel will be chosen.
Thomas G. Steels. No. zoe Fort-st.
west, said he had a speaking acquaint-
ance with DR.. Fritch.
Attorney r. r. Lodge, for Fritch,
questioned Steels carefully, and dwelt
upon the matter of criminal opera
tion as compared with other crimes.
Steels said he had no special preju-
dice that would influence him in his
verdict.
Asked II the mutilation of Mabel
Millman's body after she died or was
murdered would make any difference
in his verdict, Steels said 1t would
not.
Steels said he blamed the girl IL
she asked Fritch to perform a GRIM
inal operation.
Steels was finally excused on mo-
ton of the prosecutor.
Prosecuting Attorney Van Zile asked
John Mcmillan. who had been previ-
ously accepted as a juror, II the fact
that the Millman girl requested that
the operation be performed would in
fluence his verdict
mo. nothing OF the sort would make
any difference with me-" said McMil
Ian.
Louis LaBute. No. SO Putnam-ave.,
said he had made up his mind as to
Fritchs guilt or innocence.
f. w. Kruger, barber, No. 306
Vermont-ave., was the next called. Ho
said he had read Of the case in all
the newspapers and that he had a
fixed opinion.
"I don't believe could give the de-
PENDANT justice after having read so
much about the case" said Kruger.

HUNS TO ORGANIZE
, TO GET SHARE Of
POLITICAL PIE
New Association Forming Will Seek
Representation in City Depart
ments, and Hopes To Elect an
Alderman in Eighteenth Ward.
Colony Has Grown From Eight Men
Nineteen Years Ago To Prosperous
Community of Nearly 5000 People.

Leaders In Detroits big Hungarian
colony are projecting a big associa-
ton, the object OF which will be to
give the Hungarians voice in city
affairs, gain representation In the diff
ferent city departments, and make a
power TO be reckoned with. out OF the
now scattered population, numbering
close TO 5000.
A meeting OF some of the leading
spirits in the colony will be held this
week, in Joseph Prokopps grocery.
No. 6lS South-st., and plans OF organ
ization will be perfected. II Is ex-
pected that nearly the entire Hun
garian population will be enrolled in
the association, which will be indie
pendent as 20 politics. working only
for the betterment of the Hungarians
themselves.
The story OF the Hungarian influx
reads like a romance. Nineteen years
ago, eight Hungarians, employed I'm
the Michigan-ave. plant OF the Michi-
gan Malleable Iron works, represented
the Hungarian population. These
eight brought their countrymen here
from the old country. from Toledo.
Cleveland. Lorraine, and other nearby
cities, and there was a steady growth
of the Hungarian colony.
Delray. with its big industrial
plants springing up dozen years ago,
was the mecca for the Huns. They
arrived in droves. The Hungarians
say that they made the Eighteenth
ward. For thc most part they are a
frugal people. who come here with
the intention OF staying and becoming
citizens. Nearly all take out their
citizenship papers as soon as possible.
Most OF them own their own homes,
or are buying them on small pay
ments. Some have amassed wealth,
while here. and these are always
ready and willing to help the new
Corners. and the less fortunate OF their
countrymen.
The recent panic drove hundreds
back TO the old country, but when
work was resumed, full blast, in the
down-Tiver plants, these returned. and
brought others with them.
During all Of these years, while the
colony has grown to nearly 5000
souls, the Hungarians have had little
say I'm the affairs of the city. Now,
they hope TO accomplish great things
by banding together Among their
hopes is that a Hungarian may be
seated in the common council, as the
representative of the Eighteenth
ward. which the Huns feel that they,
themselves, created.
