great saving to us as at present we
have to haul all our material from

to our doors and allow us to ship in
the same way. We have increased
our output greatly the past year and
the siding was of the utmost neces
sity."

on the railroads property and 92'
feet on the rubber firms ground. TIT
cost will be divided between both.

ROOSEVELT wins
ILLEGAL VERDICT
Divided Jury That Wanted
to Split Costs is Sent Back
to Deliberate
JUDGMENT MUST
BE UNANIMOUS
Rr The IInited Press.

BY The United Press.
SYRACUSE, n. Y, May 21--An un-
paralleled court mix-up resulted to-
day in an illegal verdict being re-
turned in favor of Theodore Roosevelt
in William Barnes $4,000 libel suit
against the former President. The
jury filed into the courtroom at IL
o'clock. The foreman reported that
a unanimous verdict had been reach
ed in favor of Roosevelt and recon-
mended that the costs be divided.
The court clerk then called the roll.
One uryman-Edward Burns,
Democrat-voted against the former
President. The other eleven voted
for him.
Justice Andrews ruled then that the
request of the jury that the expenses
be divided and the division in the
vote made the verdict illegal. He sent
the twelve men back to deliberate
further.
There was no commotion in the
courtroom, though there was consid-
erable suppressed excitement. JUS
tice Andrews had warned spectators
and lawyers that any sort of dem
onstration would be dealt with severe
ly.
The verdict returned by the jury, II
was pointed out by lawyers, was made
illegal by two things. The eleven to
one division of the vote, they said,
made it unacceptable in court of
law even i'm a civil case, as a unani-
nous verdict is required in all cases
under New York State statutes.
The request for a division OF eX-
penses likewise made the verdict un-
| lawful.
The jury being out at 1890 o'clock,
Judge Andrews adjourned the court
until o'clock.

GUST Preacher FOR
Attacks ON BISHOP

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
DOVER, Del, May 21-Intense was
the feeling at the morning session
OF the Philadelphia A. NJ L. Confer
ence here today, when the Rev. w.
Fl. Davis, presiding elder OF one OF
the Philadelphia districts, was called
upon for a report of located min
listers, recommended the location OF
the Rev. c. V. Monk, who has been
assigned to Bristol, Pa, last year,
but was refused by that congrega-
ton.
Mr.. Monk is the man at whom
thrusts have been made since the
Conference convened here on We'd
nesday as printing in a small Phila-
delphia paper statements derogatory
no Bishop Tyree.
Bishop Tyree, thoroughly aroused
over the published reports concerning
| him and his administration, publicly
declared that the bishop and Confer
ence had been called "cut throats'
and almost every other conceivable
name, and that he no longer would
tolerate such abuse.
In substantiation Of the Bishops re
marks, the Rev. r. c. Ransom, editor o
the y. Y. A. NJ +. Review, referred t.
the Barnes Roosevelt suit now pending
as well as accusations against Senate
Boise Penrose, of Pennsylvania, and de
cared that it was time these whisper
perings and surmisings about Bisho
/ Tyree and his administration case.
Acting on the disciplinary rights o.
the church, the Rev. w. B. Williams
made a motion that the Rev. Mr.
Monk be involuntarily located, which
practically means a dismissal from ac
/ tive service. Mr. Monk pleaded will
the conference to give him another
chance.
The bishop, however, put the ques
tion of involuntary location, which
was carried by vote of S2 to 3.

Although IL was shown by a num-

THOMAS E. FIRTH BURIED

The following from the Memphis
Commercial Appeal of Wednesday
July 28) gives a short sketch Of
Tommy Firth's business associations
in that city:
Scores of friends attended the fu-
neral of Thomas Edward Firth, who
met a tragic death in an automobile
accident between Greenwood and
Grenada, Miss, which took place at
3 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
A party of Elks from the Green
wood lodge, Of which he was a mem
Der, accompanied the body to Mem
phis. The pallbearers were members
of the Memphis and Greenwood
lodges of Elks. The grave was COW
cred with fowers-tributes from
friends.
Tommy Firth had hundreds of ac-
q~uaintances in Memphis. He was re-
garded as a member Of the Memphis
newspaper family" by reason of the
fact that he worked for the Associat-
ed Press when Senator Thomas C.
Ashcroft was manager. After quit
i ting the A. P. service he went to
Greenwood, while his chum and init
mate friend, Jack Keane, who also
worked for the Associated Press and
| The Commercial Appeal office, open.
! ed an office at Clarksdale. Tommy
and Jack visited each other after they
had opened Offices in the Mississippi
towns. Keane died about six years
ago and Firth ceased to lament
the fact, as they had been chums a
"kids" around The Commercial Ap.
peal Office.
Tommy's last resting place is with.
in q stones throw Of Jacks, although
n is in Calvary Cemetery and che
! other lies in Forest Hill. The Elks'
ritual was observed in the burial Of
Firth, Sim L. Barinds officiating.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1,-If the Gil

they will probably go down as the
biggest failures Of the weird season
of 1915. The New York club is ad.
mittedly the highest salaried one in
the National league, and has the most

possible exception of the Braves. Ev-

scrambling their brains trying to de.

Brooklyn or Philadelphia.
The Giants haven't had much hard
luck-as hard luck goes accidents
and such. True, they have had bad
luck. but McGraw has won pennants
in the face of far heavier odds than
he has had to face this season. He
had team of veterans last March
that had stood up under the fire and
gaff of many gruelling pennant races
and they were all going good. There
were few signs of cracks-Mathewso
