This was announced today at the

Ambassador Page also reported thar
the British ship Camperdoon, laden
with American cotton and products,

on account of a disagreement between
her owners and the charter party.
The action of the British govern
ment will permit the safe movement
of American cotton to any point, in
Guiding Germany, where a market may
be found. Moreover, Sir Edward
Grey's statement is construed in some
quarters as meaning that there is to
be no interference with any non-con

CARMAN JURY AND
SHE WILL BE FREED

Mineola, N. Y, Oct 25.-Twelve men
sitting as jury, came into the SUI
preme court room here at 1859 this
morning, and announced that they had
been unable to determine whether Mrs.
Florence Conklin Carman, wife of DR..
Edwin Carman of Freeport, on the
night of June 80 last, thrust a revolver
through shattered window pane in
the physicians Office and shot and kill
ed Mrs. Louise Bailey, a patient who
was standing there. The jury delib-
Grated more than 13 hours On the final
ballot, 10 jurors favored acquitting the
defendant and two held out for find

degree as charged in the indictment.

No Further Trial

AS far as the state is concerned, it
Is unlikely that Mrs. Carman ever will
be brought to trial again. Before the
jury came in, District Attorney Lewis
j. Smith said If it stood even s to 4
for acquittal it was improbable that
he would bring the defendant to the
bar again.
Attorneys for Mrs. Carman will make
have her admitted to bail. Such a mo-
ton will not be opposed by the district
attorney.
The defendant is on the verge of a
complete physical breakdown, follow
ing a collapse in the court room after
the jury was discharged. 1t was said
at the Nassau county Jail here tonight
that Mrs. Carman had been crying
constantly ever since she was brought
back to het cell.
The jury retired at 9i5 o'clock last
night. Several times during the night
and morning it was believed a verdict
had been reached. Mrs. Carman was
brought into the room and the spectators
and court attendants, who were walking
around In the corridors in order to keep
awake, rushed for their places.
Once the jury wanted coffee. Another
time it wanted cigars and another time
1t wanted breakfast. Each time the de-
PENDANT was sent for, women members Of
her family assisted her to make herself
presentable.
When at 10 o'clock this morning word
came from the jury room that the Jurors
were coming out, Mrs. Carman was again

out intermission for IL hours.
The range of the ships guns en-
abled them to shell the German
trenches three miles inland and they

placed amid the sand dunes. They
destroyed a German field battery,

The firing was so rapid that some
guns discharged IA projectiles per

the contest was resumed at numerous
other points.
The fact that the Allies have ad-
vanced appreciably east of Newport
has helped to re-asure them, since in
this vicinity the British naval guns
hardly could continue to exercise an
influence in gaining ground. The slight
retrogression at other points, which
was counter-balanced by progress
somewhere else was considered as in
evitable in a great conflict of this
kind, and apparently it did not cause
the slightest encouragement
Fifty per cent. of the troops on the
right wing have not had their baptism

here. General Joffre, communicating

said to be extraordinary. He is pre-

since last December, gave it's assent
to the plan except that in Texas. The

drawn against such deposits.
Under the present system, the secreta-
~ of the treasury cannot with prudence
scatter the general fund of the treasury
among the great number of widely sepa-
rated national =, banks throughout the
country - but with the larger
powers conferred by the federal reserve
act and the use which may be able to
make of the federal reserve banks as fis-
cal agents of the government, it will be
prudent and wise to deposit a large
amount of the general fund of the treas
ury in the federal reserve banks.
LAS soon, therefore, as the reserve
banks are In operation I shall transfer
to them as large an amount of govern
ment funds as possible; this will, in turn,
enable them to extend enlarged credits to
national banks and state banks which
may become members of the federal re-
serve system, which they in turn may ex-
tend to their customers. By this means
and through the agency Of the federal re-
serve banks / hope to give additional as
sistance to that already given by the
treasury department to the cotton pro-
ducers, the cotton industry and the busi-
ness men of the South.

II FEDERAL
BANKS TO BE
OPEN NOV. Is

Washington, Oct. 25.-The twelve
federal reserve banks of the new
banking system will be opened for
business on November 18th. This was
announced today officially.
Secretary McAdoo, authorized by
the currency act TO name the opening
date made the announcement. His
choice of the sixteenth was made de-
spite the fact that the directors and
governors of the twelve banks in
recent conference here voted 81 to 35
against opening on that date and ex-
pressed their preference for Novem-
Der 80
In making the announcement Mr..
McAdoo declared that he had reached
his decision after discussing with the
federal reserve board and because Of
emergency conditions in the South, in
the belief that the opening of the
banks will be helpful there and will
benefit business in all sections of the
country.
In a statement issued tonight, the
secretary made it clear that under
the new system the federal govern
ment will be able by deposits from
the general fund of the treasury in
reserve banks to aid producers of sta
pies. The new reserve requirements
operative after the banks are open
ed, he pointed out, will release more
than $500, 100000 Of money now held
by national banks as reserves, and
will add greatly to the loaning power
of the bank.
In course of the statement Secre-
tary McAdoo said:
LAS the result of the enactment of the
war revenue measure, the parity between
receipts and disbursements of the treas
ury will soon be happily restored. This
will make it possible for the treasury to
render still greater service than II has
already rendered in helping the financial
situation in the South and in other parts
of the country where the need has appear
ed. The prompt opening of the federal
reserve banks will make the assistance
of the treasury doubly powerful, because
the federal reserve act authorizes the
secretary of the treasury, in his discre-
ton. to deposit a large amount of the
moneys held in the general fund in the
federal reserve banks and to require such
banks to act as fiscal agents of the Unit
ed States, and also in his discretion to
deposit the revenues of the government
or any part thereof in the reserve banks
and to make disbursements by checks
