JURY D|SAGREES IN
 THE SCHENK CASE
Mrs. Schenk Will Stay in Jail
 Till Bond Is Made
MANY RUMORS AFLOAT
Difficulty in Bringing About Second Trial Is Evident and Attorneys on Both Sides Take
 Action

Wheeling, W. Va, January 26.-Aftel struggling for more than 24 hours with . mass of technical and sensational testi- mony. the jury in the case of Mrs. Laura Farnsworth Schenk, charged with poison ing her husband. John o. Schenk, an Eounced late today they were hopelesslS divided and could not reach a verdict Judge L. S. Jordan importuned them tc further efforts but at 5:o4 p. m. dis charged them from the case. Tonight Mrs Schenk is again in jail, despite her hopes that she would be a free woman upon the verdict of the jury. The final vote taken by the jury after the long session stood Il for acquitta and one for conviction. On the first ballot, taken within five minutes after the jury retired Wednesday evening, 8 voted for acquit- tai, three for conviction. and one juryman refused to vote.
 On the second ballot there were nine votes for acquittal and three for convie- ton. From this status the number of eight standing by an aequittal verdict was gradually worked up to Il.
 When the jury was brought into court at 5 O oclock tonight Judge Jordan asked:
  have not" replied Foreman Philip Burke.
 ''Is there any possibility of arriving at an agreement the judge asked.
 There Is not" was the emphatic an swer
 The jurymen were boiled separately, each giving as his opinion that eonclu- sion could not be arrived at, and they were discharged.
 The failure to arrive at a verdict opens af ,4oSciloi1itiec While new trial will be necessary, it is generally con ceded that the task of selecting jury will be most difficult. Virtually all Of the evidence in the possession of either side has been brought out, and there are few who have not formed an opinion.
 There was a rumor tonight that both the state and the defense will ask for a certification of the second hearing before Judge H. c. Hervy of the circuit court
 There was also a rumor that charges of bribery and attempted bribery has been made by members of the jury following their discharge but several of the jurors later denied the rumors emphatically
 Mrs. Schenk was remanded to jail fol- lowing the disagreement. The amount of the bond required to secure her liberty rending a second trial has not been de- termined upon, but vii, be fixed at once After her arrest and indictment, bond was fixed at s1OO00, but it is expected that this will be reduced before secohd trial is held
 No motions were made before adjourn ment of court tonight, and details or Iu- ture procedure will be determined within the next few days.
 J. J. P O'Brien, chief counsel for Mrs Schenk. said tonight:
 Tomorrow before Judge Jordan we will ask that Mrs. Schenk be freed on her own recognizance. Failing in that we will ask a reduction in the bond from N0,co0 to s500o and we shall then invite ten citizens to go on the bond each for $500
 The first ten applying will be allowed to zn in1 the hnnd.''

COLLEGE STUDENTS INSPECT
 A MODEL POULTRY PLANT

Alinsawac is a delightfully."- quaint spot, yet possesses every modern equipment. It is located a mile from the railroad sta- tion at Metuchen, N. J., in the heart of historical section. The bull lings are of the latest type, built and fitted with a view to economy of space and saving of labor. Completely encircling the chicken plant is a cordon of wire, so arranged that if one wire is cut powerful burglar alarms sound, for the chicken thief is an ever present evil. Within this electrical ly guarded inclosure are 1000 laying hens, all Leghorns; a 10000 brooder house and incubator capacity up to GOOD eggs.
 Chief of the interesting features is the trap nest MT. Dinwddie is the largest experimenter with the trap nest in the United States more than 1000 being in daily use at Alinsawac.
 when the bird, as poultrymen term the hen, enters the nest. the nest locks, au- tomaticaly. The hen cannot release her. self. When she sounds the signal of egg laying, one of the employees opens the nest, but not until the bird has been iden- tified by the number of the aluminium bracelet or band on her leg. This makes the keeping of an accurate individual and general egg record possible.
 The curious farm name is an Igorrote word, meaning Home of the Wild Man. v While MT Dinwiddie was civil governor of the 1gorrote province of Leponto-Bon- toe, in tine Philippines, the idea of talk ing up chicken farming came to him. His friends laughed at the thought that a man who had led so adventurous a life should take to farming. In memory of their words he gave his place it's queer name, much to the delight of his major domo, Claro. a native Igorrote, who cast his fortune with MT. Dinwiddie when the latter abandoned globe-trotting and set led down in his New Jersey home.
