Shanghai Captured

Shanghai. November 3.-Except for the foreign concessions Shanghai tonight is entirely in the hands ofsthe revolutionists, who captured the city late this evening. There was practically no resistance, only few shots being fired. All the Chinese soldiers have joined the rebels and the police and firemen apparently are in sym pathy with them These are wearing white badges on their arms.
 After taking over the arsenal the rebels burned the taotais yamen in the native city.
 The Associated Press representative covered the entire outlying section of Shanghai but did not discover atssingle instance of disorder. Even in the nativs city complete order prevailed. Every courtesy Is shown foreigners. The sol diers. police and firemen are continuing on duty. Shops are closed tonight. While the action of the rebels was expected, the movement was made quickly. Fol- lowing slight disturbance in the north ern section of the city notices were post ed throughout the native city announc- ing that the military government of China had taken over Shanghai. It warned the populace against disorder.
 The arsenal, where recently there had been the greatest activity, preparatory to assisting the up-river forts, and pros vidng ammunition for Admiral Sah. was called on to surrender by the rebels The chief of the arsenal quickly disappeared. but few other officials continued to hold 1t, without any show of force.
 A few shots were fired. but the revo- lutionaries warned the officials remaining that they intended to take the arsenal even if they had to fight for it. None of them seemed willing to test the strength of the rebels in combat and quietly evac- uated.
 It is said that one reason for the revo- lutionaries taking Shanghai was that two Norwegian vessels mad been loaded at the arsenal during the last two days with ammunition for Admiral Sah. The ves- sells succeeded in getting away.
 Throughout the night 70 armed Brit shers stood guard over the Ranking Shanghai railway station while on the other side of the road an equal number of uniformed Chinese police were drawn up on behalf of the Chinese revolutionary government to maintain order
 During the night there was desultory firing In the city and two or three per- sons were killed It is estimated that more than 2000 volunteers were included. in the government forces that went over

 Opelousas, La, November 3--A mistrial was recorded in the Mckee murder case this morning, after the jury which had deliberated on the case since 1910 p. m. yesterday reported to the court that there was no possibility of agreeing on yer dict. r
 According to Foreman Hidalgo the jury stood eight to. four for conviction of man. slaughter. The four jurors who held out for acquittal were Hidalgo, Edgin, Dugas and Cutlery Mrs McTaee expressed dis- appointment at the result
 The prosecution wished to have the case set for rehearing next Monday, but Judge Peavy said this would be impos- sible, as he will be otherwise engaged.
 The result was not unexpected by the majority of the spectators who have crowded the court room since the trial opened 12 days ago and who knew that the bitter prejudces aroused in St. Lam dry parish by the killing of young Allan Garland by Mrs Zee Runge Mckee made it almost impossible to secure 12 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 self defense of her honor, there was the popularity of the deceased and the large political and social influence of the Garland family. Even religious prejudices entered largely into the trial because of Mrs. Mckee s membership in a Masonic order on the one hand, and on the other the oyer- whelming Catholic population of St. Lan- dry parish, of which the Garlands are part. '''f.tf
 fense to grant Mrs. McRee bail will be argued before the court tomorrow morn r jrs. At this time a formal motion by Acting District Attorney Dubulsson to fix q date for rehearing will be heard. Col. T. H. Lewis, counsel in chief for Mrs. McKee, said the defense would not oppose an early trial. i've will only ask for delay of few days in order to allow nonresident coun- s.l an opportunity to arrange their af- fairs so that they may appear in the case" he said.
 Foreman Hdalgo stated the four mem bcrs of the jury who held out for ac- uulttal based their opinion on the failure of the state to prove motive or malice.
 was there any harsh discussion when 1t was found that g verdict could not be reached?' he was asked. sf Why, TO-" he responded, Eve all Knew each other too well for that"
 On the first ballot Juror Guillory voted for murder in tue first degree. Jurors Iidalgc, Gudry and Edgin voted for ac uuttal and eight voted for manslaughter On the next and each succeeding ballot Guiory voted for manslaughter. and Juror Dugas changed his vote from man. slaughter to acquittal.
 Acting District Attorney Dubuisson an6 District Attorney R. E. Garland uncle of the deceased. were disappointed Ptth had expected conviction of either murder or manslaughter.
