NEW YORK. March 31-The jury in the case of John F. Parsons, Wash ington B. Thomas. George 1T. Frazier and Arthur Donner. charged with violating the criminal clause of the sherman antitrust law. while direc- tors of the American Sugar Refining company, reported a disagreement in the United States district court short ly before 1:3O this morning. The de- fendants were charged with conspir- acy in restraint of trade in closing the Pennsylvania Sugar Refining com pany's plant.
 The jurors retired shortly after noon. As their hours of deliberation wore on it became evident they were having difficulty reaching a verdict. That the application of the statute of limitations was one point being con- sidered became evident when shortly before five o'clock they returned to the court room and asked for en- lightenment on the operation of the statute
 Judge Hand was asked by the fore man if it would be possible for the jury to return verdict of acquittal if they could agree on the point that the defendants had no criminal intent when they made a loan of $1,250.000 to Adolph Segal by which the alleged sugar trust" obtained possession of SegaTs Philadelphia refinery. The court replied il would be possible for the jury to acquit if it found the defendants had done nothing crim- inal since July 1. 1906. Judge Hand. in his charge. said it must be shown that each defendant individually had some connection with the alleged con- spiracy to close down the Segal re- finery. and dwelt upon the statute of limitations at length.
 You must find whether. after July T. 1906." said he the power to open ar close refinery rested with the defendants. You must also be satis- fled that after that date. if the re- finery remained closed. it was done through their will. and with criminal purpose"
 When the jury reported to the court. the foreman announced it had been unable to reach a verdict. and there was no prospect of an agree ment. Judge Hand at once discharg- ed the jury.
 All jurymen had pledged themselves to secrecy. so it was not learned how the vote stood. The only, indication as to this was an admission by one juror. who said he was for the de- fense and was in the minority No statement was Obtainable from any representative of the government as to what will be likely it's future course.

ROOsevelt'S campaign tour of the central states virtually comes to an end, as he expects to make no stops on his return trip to New York Roosevelt said the railroad rate bill. as submitted to congress by the ad- minstration was a thoroughly mis- chievOus and improper measure.
 Passing to the Lorimer case. Colonel Roosevelt declared the vote of the senate committee this week. recommending that the Illinois sena- tor be allowed to retain his seat, it. lustrated the working. in actual practice. of the presidents theory of government by the people of what he calls representatives of a part of the people"
 Roosevelt's meeting here tonight was crowded. On the trip here he made a number of speeches from the train The crowds at the railroad stations as he passed through Michigan were the largest encountered on the pres ent trip. In his brief train speeches he discussed the presidential primary and praised Governor osborn for his work for such a measure.
 Roosevelt. from the rear platform of his special train here today. said the ''meanest" Michigan legislators are those who framed the new pri- mary bill in such a way it would not permit the people to express their choice for the candidates in the pres ent campaign.
