Washington, D. c., July o.
Official ann 1cement today that
the president intends to give thor
ough consideration to the problem
of national defense. though not adj
mitted to have direct relation to
the German and Mexican situations,
is generally view ID here as related
to them. That it will impress the
country with the seriousness Of the
German situation is believed. One
reason for the announcement is the
sharp criticism by Roosevelt OF the
failure of the administration to
prepare. Today's announcement is

SMITH CASE JURY
UNABLE TO AGREE
RUMOR HAS 1T THAT THE DE
GREE OF MURDER is HITCH
IN THE PROCEEDINGS.
There is Yet Hope Entertained That
the Jury viii Reach a Verdict and
Prevent a Mistrial in This Action.

The jury which has in hand the fate
of James A. Smith. charged with first
degree murder for tine killing Of Al
bert Valentine. deliberated yesterday
afternoon from 4 o'clock until almost
T. then took an intermission for sup,
per and went back to the jury room.
Then deliberations were continued
until a late hour I'm the night, when
Judge Wood ordered the sheriff 10
prepare for lodging the jurors IN the
hope that a verdict would ultimately
result.
No official word was given out rela-
tive to the standing of the jury but
there are many rumors. First rumor
had it that the jury stood eight for
conviction as against four for &C
quittal the four evidently being jurors
fayorins a compromise verdict as to
the penalty in the case.
Latest rumor had it that the jury
was agreed as to the guilt of the ac-
cused, but that the matter OF a pen,
atty to enforce was the subject Of
further controversy. Under the law
in this state a jury may find in case
like this for first degree murder car
rying the death penalty; for second
degree murder carrying imprisonment
up to q years, or for manslaughter
carrying a verdict of imprisonment
anywhere between two and seven
years
The latitude of the jury in this re,
spect is so wide that it gives some
thing Of foundation TO the last rumor,
which in effect is that the punish.
ment is what has prevented the YER
dict up to the hour OF time for retire
ment last evening
On the other hand the defen lant
and his counsel are not without hope
that there viii be an acquittal in the
case, and give no credence to TIE
many rumOrs afloat.
