Washington Oct. 26.-The French

General Stenger, commanding bri-
gade of the German army in France,

the Stenger brigade) are now held in

Judge Kelby Discharges Men After
They Had Deliberated
Thirteen Hours
Special to The Telegraph

Nfineola, n. Y, Oct. 26.-Thirteen
hours and ten minutes of the most
wretched, narrowing mental torture
that woman can endure, and which
has left her almost a nervous wreck,
will be the full extent, in all likeli-
hood, that the State will ever demand
of Nkrs Florence C. Carman for the
killing of Mrs. Louise d. Bailey.
Yesterday morning, while the
church bells were ringing throughout
the overcast countryside and the auto
mobiles were drawing up before the
edifices, with their load of worship
pers. twelve drowsy, blear-eyed, un-
shaven men filed out of the jury room
in the Nassau county Supreme Court
and announced that they were unable
to agree either upon a verdict OF
guilty or upon acquittal.
Hours of wrangling, vituperation,
brow beating and haranguing had
brought them to an absolute dead
lock, with ten men saying that Mrs.
Carman was innocent of the crime
charged and two resolutely standing
out for her conviction.
Justice Charles II. Kelby, who had
remained at the call of the jurymen
all night, asked if there was not some
point of law, some question of TACT
that he might instruct them on, or
some doubt of the intent of the testi-
nony The jurymen said there was
absolutely no hope; they had discussed
and cajoled, argued and fought, and
they were just as far from reaching
q harmonious decision as they were
last midnight, when they took their
third ballot, and one man, who had
been for conviction, changed his mind
for acquittal. The court then dis
charged the Jury

Paris, Oct. 26, 2.54 p. M.-The

Dixmude was maintained.
The text of the communication fol-

During the day of yesterday our

Our front was held also in the region
between Ypres and Roulers, between
Armentieres and Lille, to the west of
La Bassee and of Lens, and to the east

During the fighting of recent days the
enemy seems to have sustained con-
siderable losses.
Russia: To the west of the Vistula
and to the north of the Pitca river,
the Germans have been forced back
on Lowicz, Skierniewice and Rawa,
which have been captured at the bay

ITO the south of Pitca in the direc-

of the partially allied parties, but
every nomination is endangered
The opinion establishes that the leg
islature of 1913 in enacting the famous
primary and party regulation act
wrote into law the principle of home
rule or local self government and
points out that the Democratic State
machine arrogated to itself powers to
which it had no right. While the case
was started too late to strike off the
nominations yet the decision will pro-
claim to the State that the machina-
tons of the Democratic organization
are without warrant of law
The. decision was given in the con-
test of the nominations of T. Henry
Walnut and C. w. T. Robinson, as
Democratic candidates for the Legisla-
ture in the Seventeenth philadelphia
district made by the Democratic State
executive committee by two Demo-
Gratis residing in the district on the
ground that they should have been
made by the local Democratic com
mtttees and not by the Democratic
State executive committee. The case
was presented on Friday when counsel
Tor the contestants contended that the
principle of home rule had not been
followed, to which counsel for the
candidates rejoined that under the pri-
mary and party act of 1913 the State
committee has authority to make rules
for the government of the party in
the State and that it had power to
make nominations for the Legislature
where vacancies occurred
The effect of the decision will leave
the Democrats without any legislative
candidates in this district as the time
for making substitutions is too limit
ed.

W|FE'S LOVE FOR
POLITICS GETS HER
ON DIVORCE LIST.
Ardent Suffragette Wanted "Wider
Sphere, She Tells Her
Husband

Mrs. Jane Hunters love OF politics
and a desire for a wider sphere OF
activity were the snags that interfered
with the smooth sailing of the Hunter
matrimonial ship, and eventually
swamped it on the rock of the Dau-
phin county divorce court, according
to Robert L. Hunter, the libellant, to-
day.
Hunters action was one of Just
fifty cases listed for October term and
was heard before President Judge
Kunkel. Hunter, who is a travelling
salesman for one of the big firms
which has branches in various parts
of the world, said he had been mar
ried in 1909 In 1912 he returned
from a ten-day trip to fino ms wire
missing-and a drayman loading the
household furniture on wagon. That
was the first tip, he had had, he said,
of his wife's intended desertion.
Hunter said he had been abroad for
a while in an effort to establish d
branch agency in London, but the reg
ular war-the clash of the powers of
Europe-had made 1t advisable for
him to return
In For That Suffrage StufT
Mrs. Hunter was a college girl,
Hunter said, and was dissatisfied ap-
parently at the circumstances in which
they were required to live. Both of
her sisters had married wealthy men.
Mrs. Hunter at an early date went in
for politics and was an ardent suffra-
gette, her husband explained to the
court; her often expressed desire had
| been for wider sphere of life.
