charged-WiII Hold Next
One for Decision

George A. Bert Bower must I'M
dergo a new trial On the statutory
charge for which he has been on trial
in federal court the last week, the
Jury announcing after six hours and
10 minutes deliberation last night
that it could not agree. The next
trial is set for Monday, March 16.
Shortly after u. S. District Attor.
ney McCarn finished his address yes.
terday afternoon the jury retired, leav-
ing the courtroom at 4:20 p. m. Its
final announcement Of disagreement
was made at 8: As o'clock last evening.
There are many conflicting stories
around town concerning the jury's atti-
tude, one. report being that it stood
8 to 3 for acquittal, and another that
it was Just the reverse.
The StarBnlfetin Was furnished with
the following statement this after
noon: = b." g. II ~ ~ w.. .a =.
Honolulu, March 6, 1914.
Editor Star-Bulletfn,
Dear Sir: in regard to the Bower
case the morning Advertiser states
that the jury is said to have stood
nine for conviction and three for not
guilty This statement is erroneous.
After consultation with seven of the
Jurors who sat on the case we were
informed that the jury stood nine for
acquittal and three for conviction.
I'VE believe that this correction
should be made public in justice to
George A. tBertl Bower whom We
represented at his recent trial in the
federal court
Trusting that you will give this
letter publicity, we beg to remain, .
Respectfully yours, .... J.

This is the second hung jury that
has resulted in federal court since Jeff
McCarn's advent as prosecuting at
torney here, entailing a second trial
and considerable additional expense.
AS result it is rumored that the next
jury failing to arrive at a verdict will
be compelled to deliberate an indefi-
mite length Of time. if the district at
tQrney's suggestion to the court is &C
cepted.
1t will be remembered that an ear

Tense and the government to obtain

This plan, it is estimated, will
raise $780, 900 900 and 100000, 900
of the amount is to come from the
Freight tax, $S,0O0,OO0, from
wine and $4,000 900 from beer.
The bill proposes to give the rail-
roads Ii for collecting the tax and
the government gets 2%.
There can be no objection to the
tax on beer and wine. They are not
nccessaries of life, but the tax on
freight is another heavy load to be
added to the market basket. The adj
d~itional freight charges will be pass
ed on to the consumer. The rail-
roads do not have to pay it. If a
/ freight bill amounts to 500, for in
kstance, the railroads will add three
