SCHMIDT CASE A MusTRIAL.
Jury Unable to Agree, Dismissed by
Judge.

New York, Dec. 30.-After deliber-
ating SO hours the jury trying the case
OF Hans Schmidt. former priest Of St.
Joseph's church, accused Of the MUIR
der Of Anna Aumuller. reported about
10 o'clock tonight that it could not
reach an agreement and was dis
charged.
The foreman Of the jury reported
to Judge Foster that there was no
possibility Of an agreement being
reached. the last ballot taken being
exactly as the FIRST. Two Of the Jurors
had stood out against conviction all
the time. said Foreman Otinger.
After thanking the Jurors and free
ing them from further service in con-
nection with the case, Judge Foster
directed that Schmidt be remanded
to the Tombs.
1t was learned that two jurors who
had failed to agree with the other ten

TO WITHDRAW LAND RADIUM.
Secretary Gives Out Statement to That
Effect Yesterday.

Washington, Dec. 29.-Secretary
Lane proposes to withdraw all lands
of the public domain suspected Of
containing radium, that their precious
deposits may be secured for the pub
lie good and not become the subject Of
private speculation.
Mr.. Lane outlined his plan today to
Chairman Foster, OF the Houston
Mines committee, urging immediate
passage Of a joint congressional reso-
luton to empower President Wilson
to make Withdrawals. The secretary
told Chairman Foster that unless fed
Grafton action were taken promptly
there was danger that valuable lands
might become involved in private
speculation. Investigations of the
geological survey have located public
lands believed to contain raidum, now
so valuable in medicine.
Secretary Lane pointed out that
there are only two grams of radium
at present In the United States. 1t is
valued at 100000 a gram. All was
procured from Europe.
"Three-fourths Of the radium pro-
duced in the world during the year
1872" says Secretary Lane, "came
from American ores. yet we have up
to this time taken no steps whatever
to preserve for our own people this in
valuable metal, and our physicians
and hospitals are dependent upon Eu-
ropean laboratories for such supply as
they can procure. and are subject to
whatever monopoly charge the Europ-
can laboratories demand"
In view OF the known effectiveness
of raj '"m in the treatment Of can
Ger, Secretary Lane says that as one
person in every ten in this country
more than fifty years of age suffers
from cancer, it is difficult to over
estimate the necessity for securing
Immediately as large a supply as pos
sible Of this mysterious remedy"

Holly and mistletoe were more
plentiful here this year than before
in many years. The quality also was
far superior and agents of the buyers
who came here previous to the holiday
season. placed large orders. So eX-
ultant are the shippers over their

tho underlying causes Of the Jury's
