 ROCKEFELLER; BATES
 WILL SEEK NEW TRIAL
Eighteen Ballots Were Taken-Trial Cost Over Three-Quarters of a Mil lion Dollars to Govern ment and Defendants

New York, January g. Six of the II former direc- tors of the New York, New Haven and Hartford rail- road, charged by the gov ernment with criminal vio- lation of the Sherman anti trust law, were found not guilty late today by the jury that for nearly thr0 has been trying the case. The i'lrv disagreed on the five ot,,,ers.
 Those acquitted were D. Newton Barney, Pennington, Conn; Robert w. Taft, Providence, R. l.; James s. Hemingway, A. Heaton Robinson and Frederick F. Brewster, New Haven, and Henry K. McHarg, Stamford, Conn.
 Those on whom the jury disagreed were William Rockefeller, New York !; Charles F. Brooker, Ansonia, Conn. i; Charles M. Pratt, Brooklyn; Lewis Cass Ledyard, New York, and Ed ward D. Dobbins, New Haven.
 The verdict was returned at 4:30 o'clock this afternoon after fifty-one hours of deliberation, and the jury was discharged. The final vote on the five defendants upon whom the jurors could not agree stood eight to four for acquittal
 R. l.. Batts, chief counsel for the gov ernment, announced that in due time he would move for new trial of these five. This will be done, he said before any effort will be made to try the six other former directors of the road that were indicted, but who obtained the right to be tried separately.
 MAJORITY FOR ACQUITTAL
 IHe jurors d1d not reach their verdict until after they had reported to Judge Hunt earlier in the day that they could not agree. Up to that time--noon-they had been deliberateing with a view to bringing in a verdict on the guilt or innocence of the defendants collectively. The court then instructed them to make further efforts to concur and that if they could not agree upon all to try and reach decision on some. The vote on the ques- tion of all at that time also stood eight to four for acquittal. it was learned.
 On returning to the jury rooms the jurors renewed their discussion with the courts instructions in mind and unani- mously eliminated the six defendants that were acquitted. Two of the four jurors who had voted against the defendants originally, stood firm, however, against . Messrs. Rockefeller, Ledyard, Brooker, Pratt and Robbins. Then the other two switched to their original position, leav- ing eight to four as the final verdict.
 MANY BALLOTS TAKEN
 From the time the case was submitted to them at 1.30 o'clock Friday afternoon, the jurors took IS ballots. The first stood six for acquttal. four for conviction and two blank It was not until Saturday that they reached the eight to four align ment

CUPID BLACK TO PLAY
Yale Football Stock Scars With Cap
tain in Lineup Again.

New York, Nov. 23.-Capt. Cupid
Black has returned to the Yale eleven
and today will get into the last big
practice before the meeting Saturday
in New Haven. Quarterback Travers
Smith also is back for duty and will
work out with the first strong squad.
These two developments have had
the effect of holding off 10 to 9 and
10 to bets that have been made with
Harvard on the long end and it now
seems that Yale will go into the game
an even money choice. There is very
little Harvard money to be found at
odds which are being quoted.
The Harvard team went thru its last
practice Wednesday in Cambridge and
today will reach New Haven where the
men will be given a brief drill in the
bowl and then will be taken to New
London where they will stay until
SATURDAY.
