MEETING is
POSTPONED

Edmund &. Osborne, president OF the
State Progressive Republican League
has notified the leaders in the various
counties that the meeting called for to-
night for the purpose of adopting a
platform and selecting candidates for
delegates at large to the national Re-
publican convention would be post
poned.
A statement issued by Mr. Osborne
today says:
1.-THE meeting was called about ten
days ago, with the understanding that
the leaders Of the Roosevelt League
and the Progressive Republican League
would confer and agree upon platform
and delegates before the date OF the
State meeting. The conference was not
held until yesterday, when a number
of the leaders from each league met at
the OF ce of former Governor Fort.
Those present at the conference were
in substantial agreement both as to
platform and delega tes at large, but all
felt that larger number of leaders
from both leagues should be present
when platform and delegates are
agreed upon. Another meeting for that
purpose will be held Friday afternoon.
"The State meeting for to light was
postponed because the Progressive
leaders desire to present a platform

JURY ANGRY,
HADNOFOOD:
NO VERDICT
Foreman Tells Court 1t Is Shame
to Starve Men for Twenty
three Hours.

After trying for twenty three hours
TO reach verdict the jury in the case
of Frank Rosonlilia, of 20 Cutler street,
who sued the Public Service Railway
Company for $4,000 damages for in
juries sustained on November II, 1909
when. he said, he fell from Clifton
avenue car while ailghtipg at Sixth
avenue, was discharged this morning
by Judge DUNCAN.
When the jury was called in this
morning the foreman, John A. Retiz,
of 53s Eighteenth street.. strenuously
protested against the action in keeping
the jury out for twenty-three hours
With only two sandwiches and some
very bad coffee, which they paid for
themselves last night.
"I think II is d shame and a dis
grace to ask meu to stay out any
longer to try to arrive at verdict.
Personally I believe If we remained
out for million years we could never
agree. 1t is certainly wrong to keep
a jury out all night with nothing to
eat
Judge DUNCAN discharged the jury
without comment. There Is no law
which compels the county to provide
Jurors with food in a case of this kind,
but they may obtain what they want to
eat by paying for 1t themselves.
The case went to the jury at 11:3O
o'clock yesterday morning. and when
no verdict had been reached at 10
o'clock last night Judge DUNCAN or
dered the Jury locked up for the night.
The case was begun Monday and
was hard-fought throughout by How
ard MacSherry for the company
and Beecher & Bedford for the plain
tiff The plaintiff alleged that injuries
he sustained in the fall incapacitated
him from working as wood-chopper.
but the railroad company produced
