REPORTED NO CHANCE
OF REACHING AGREEMENT
BY Associated Press.

Opelousas, La, Nov. 3.-A mistrial
was recorded IN the McRee murder
case this morning after the jury, which
had deliberated on the case since 1910
o. m. yesterday, reported to the court
that there was no possibility of agree
ing on a verdict.
According to Foreman Hidalgo, the
fury stood eight to four for conviction
of manslaughter. The four jurors who
held out for acquittal were Hidalgo,
Edgin, Dugas and Guidry. Mrs. Nc
Rec expressed disappointment at the
result.
The prosecution wished to have the
case set for rehearing next Monday
but Judge Peavy said this would be
impossible as he will be otherwise en-
gagged.
The result was not unexpected by
the majority of the spectators who
have crowded the court room since the
day the trial opened twelve days ago
and who knew that the bitter preju-
6ices aroused in ST. Landry parish by
the killing of young Allan Garland by
Mrs. Zee Runge McRee made it almost
impossible to secure twelve men who
could agree on a verdict. Opposed to
the natural sympathy that goes out to
a woman, especially where the plea
is set up that she shot in defense of
her honor, there was the popularity of
the deceased and the large political
and social influence of the Garland
family. Even religious prejudtces en-
tered largely into the trial because OF
Mrs. McRees membership in a Ma
sonic order on the one hand and on
the other the overwhelming Catholic
population of st. Landry parish, OF
which the Garlands are a part.
1t is expected that a motion by the
defense to grant Mrs. McRee bail will
be argued before the court tomorrow
morning. At this time a formal mo-
ton by Acting District Attorney Du-
buisson to fix a date for a re-hearing
Will be heard.
Col T. H. Lewis, counsel in chief
for Mrs. McRee, said the defense
would not oppose an early trial.
I'VE will only ask for a delay of a
few days in order to allow non-resi-
dent counsel opportunity to arrange
their affairs so that they may appear
In the case" he said.
Foreman Hidalgo said that the four
members of the jury who held out for
acquittal based their opinion on the

TWO ARE DEAD,
-FOUR INJURED
TENEMENT HOUSE FIRE CAUSES
MEMBERS OF A FAMILY TO
LEAP FROM SECOND STORY
WINDOW.
BY Associated Press.

New York, Nov. S-Two members
Of the Shapiro family, father and
mother, were killed and three of their
four children were badly hurt today
when they jumped from windows on
the second floor to escape the flames
that destroyed a Brooklyn tenement
house.
When flames trapped the Shapiros, a
policeman climbed on the cornice over
the first story and told Julius Shapiro,
the father, to hand down his four
children, aged from Is months to Is
years. The baby went first and the
policeman caught it.
Then Shapiro tried to hand out nine
year-old Aaron. The boys weight
proved more than he could manage
and he fell from the window with his
son in his arms. The fathers brains
were dashed out on the pavement,
while the boy escaped with a broken
ankle.
This calamity seemed to unnerve
other members of the family, and al
though they could have been rescued
had they waited, one by one they
leaped from the windows.

NEW PLAN NOT
FEASIBLE ONE
BANKERS AND COTTON MEN ARE
SkEPTiCAL OF SCHEME FOR
"VALORIZING" THE COTTON
CROP.
BY Associated Press.

New York, Nov. 3.-Bankers and
cotton men here are skeptical as to
the practicability of the plan pre-
sented at this weeks conference of
southern governors for "valorizing'
the cotton crop with the assistance Of
an unnamed foreign syndicate. The
plan is for the purchase of about two
million bales of the cotton crop and
it's warehousing at central points for
distribution when cotton prices have
been put back to satisfactory levels.
1t is declared by financial experts
that if the scheme is to follow the
lines more or less successfully estab-
lished by Brazil in financing its sur
plus coffee crop it would be necessary
for the foreign bankers to have credit
of the cotton growing states behind
their loan as well as the cotton itself
as collateral.
