JURYFORT,R But
SPLIT ON COSTS
Eleven Men Declare Verdict
Favoring Roosevelt.
Are Unanimous In Favor of Award
For Colonel If Costs Are Split-One
Holds Out For Earnes.

A verdict in favor of Colonel Theo-
dore Roosevelt was returned by the
jury in Syracuse, n. Y, in the $780,
600 libel Suit brought against the for
mer president by William Barnes,
the Republican leader Of Albany coun-
ty, but Justice Andrews held that the
form of the verdict was improper and
sent the jury back to reach proper
verdict.
When Justice Andrews left the
court the crowd dispersed. Colonel
Roosevelt left the building after ar
ranging to be called by telephone II
they should reach verdict.
When the jury filed into court the
foreman announced that the jury had
agreed upon a verdict for the defend
ant. The roll was called by the clerk
of the court. Eleven of the jurors said
they were in favor Of a verdict for the
defendant, but the twelfth, Edward
Burns, Syracuse motorman, arose
and said ~ am for the plaintiff"
The foreman told Justice Andrews
that the jury was unanimous in favor
of a verdict for the defendant in case
the costs were split between the plain;
tiff and the defendant. The court or
dered the jurors to return and deliber-
ate further.
When they returned to the jury
room it was evident that the jury was
trying to decide the question OF costs
and that. alone. Il was apparent when
the roll was called that some jurors
favored dividing the costs, which al
The most, it was said, would amount to
less than $500, while others were in.
different.
The law of libel provides that the
loser in a contest must pay the costs
Of the action. Lawyers said there was
70 way in which the costs could be
divided if verdict was returned. In
the event, ii was said, Of Burns, the
Juror, refusing to agree with his eleven
companions, the costs would be split.
Colonel Roosevelt declined to com
ment on the action Of the jury. B.
the expression on his face it was az
parent that he was as pleased as he
possibly corld be. His counsel said
their client was perfectly willing to
divide the costs if there was any way
this could be done They made it plain
in the presence of the defendant that
a verdict clearing the colonel was the
thing desired regardless of any costs.
Mr.. Barnes was not present when
the jury came in.

KAISER MUST MEET DEMANDS
President viii Back Up Note With All
Resources of United States.

President Wilson will back UP the
note he sent TO Germany on the loss OF
American lives on the Lusitania with
all the resources Of the United States.
No note to Great Britain is in con-
temptation, and none will be consid'
cred by President Wilson until the
issue between Germany and the Unit,
ed States is settled.
These statements from person
who has freely dicussed the German
note with President Wilson disclose
the policy which the president intends
to follow in relation to Germany and
Great Britain.
When President Wilson framed his
recent note to the German govern.
ment he did so with the firm belief
that Germany would yield to the cause
Of humanity and justice. He had no
thought that Germany would adopt
any other course. Nevertheless, it is
learned that the president is prepared
to back I'D to the limit the ideas ex.
DIGSSCl Al IiIS IOAiIiu!tiIettiOh W lAS
kaiser's government. With Germany
40 step will be retraced; there will
be no turning back.
The presidents friends believe moth
ing but harm would follow the send
ing of a note to Great Britain at this
time. Its only purpose, as viewed by
the presidents friends, would be to
placate Germany. Instead of doing this
it. might be taken as sign of weak
ness by the United States.
Reports from Berlin as to the dis
position Of persons high in authority
in the German government have serV'
ed to give q pessimistic tinge to opin'
ion regarding the outcome of the de-
mands in President Wilson's note.
Those who have been hopeful that
Germany's course would be concilia'
tory do not extract comfort from these
reports, AMI some are inclined to be-
lieve the sentiment in the. German
capital is decidedly antagonistic to
making concessions to the American
position.

Massed on East Coast. ----.-

The Austrians evidently CONSIDER
THAT a safe OF war between the duai
monarchy and Italy already exists.
The Austriaas have withdrawn theH
troops and customs guards from the
frontier at Ponte Caffaro and Lodrohe'
after destroying the bridges, the tele'
graph and telephone lines and tne
electric light apparatus.
Other bridges on the frontier ha'e
been mined.
From Ponte Caffaro and Lodrone
two roads pass over the frontier ana
serve for communication between Aus
tria and italy. ..
On the neighboring mountains AUS
tIian artillery can be seen.
A Ravas news agency dlspatch
from Rome says that the bill giving
the government full powers in case Oh
war was adopted by the Italian SEN
ate by a vote of 262 to 3. The an.
nounccment of the vote was received
with prolonged outburst OF cheel'
ing.
The Messagero, of Rome, declares
that the council Of ministers will meet
Immediately, ana probably will draft
4 formal declaration Of war against
Austria-Hungary.
The Temps publishes dispatch
from Rome to the effect that a tiotllla
Of Austrian aeroplanes from Gorltz'
Austria, is patrclling the frontier
over Isonzo. 1t is said two Of the air
scouts have flown over Italian terri
tory.
The Italian ministry authorities ars
guarding with strict secrecy the move
ment Of troops.
Il is known, nevertheless, that some
$4,000 sondicrs have been concen'
trated on the coast Of Italy, across
the Adriatic afrom Albania. These
troops are at Erindisi, Bari and Fog
gia.
Prince Won Buelow, the German am
bassador to Rome, is expected to
reach Chasco hourly from the Italian
capital The German consul at Leg
horn arrived at Chiasco by automo
bile, and many other Germans are
coming in all the time from points in
Italy by train and by automobile.
Crowds are parading the streets Of
the towns in northern Italy acclaim
ing the war.
Information gathered by the cor
respondents now on the eastern from
tier of Switzerland shows that the
Austrian and German forces, with
heavy artillery, have been concentrate
ed at Trent, BoZen and Meran. Move
ments of considerable bodies Of troops
are reported from Munich.

of sample shells.
A mile and half away, in field on
a hillside, were seven cows, scattered
over an area Of about an acre. 4 sin.

So powerful is the explosive tha!
the crucible steel shell does not burst
into fragments, but eXplodes into an
impalpable powder. 1t is said this
shell means death to any living thing
within fifty yards Of the spot where it
bursts.
