MAJORITY VERDICT
In Criminal Trials Proposed For The
New Constitution

Columbus, o., Jan - There are
many important matters that will
come before the constitutional con
vention which will open its sessions
here next Monday, among them being
the temperance issue, the initiative
and referendum, the recall, woman's
suffrage, etc. 1t is certain that a plan
will be made to change the constitu-
ton in regard to the jury system in the
state. Many of the delegates want it
changed so that majority verdict
may be accepted by the courts, and
that disagreements will be impossible
under this rule is the one strong argu-
ment made. This rule would apply in
only criminal and would eliminate the
necessity of solid vote on any verdict
before it could be announced. Some
of the delegates favor two-thirds vote
while others decidedly favor majori-
ty vote to decide the fate of the ac-
cused.

DIXON
 TO QUIT TEDDY
 50 REPORT GOES

Washington, July 1S-There was gos- sip among Senators today over a re- port given credence here that Senator Dixon, of Montana, friend of Roose- velts campaign for renomination, would not follow the Colonel in the new party movement. Dixon is said to be as strong as ever in his devo- ton to progressive principles but he believes it best to establish these prin- ciples through fight directed to the overthrow of standpat control of the Republican party.
 There was a lack of agreement, it was stated, between Roosevelt and Dixon, over the Colonel's trip to Chi cago, -the pilgrimage having been made contrary to Dixon's judgment. When it became apparent in Chicago that the Colonel would bolt, Dixon was disposed to sever the political re- lations that existed between them. His high estimation of Roosevelt as a Republican leader was not affected but he was unable to approve of the new party plan.
 Information as it comes toathe Sen- ate, is that Roosevelt induced Dixon to remain in charge of the movement until the progressive convention is held August 5th in Chicago Dixon was not at his home or office to- day sseas@ s2
