CASE
Jury Unable to Agree in
Federal Court After De
liberating Seven Hours.

After the jury had deliberated
seven hours after the trial Of J. R.
King in the federal court yesterday
charged with violating the white slave
law, they failed to make a decision
and the result was a mistrIal. 1t
is understood that the jury stood 9
to 3 for conviction. E. W. Davis was
attorney for the defendant and Rob
ert Anderson, assistant district at
tOrney, for the prosecution.
J. r. King was charged with VIC
lating the white slave law along with
C. W. Faulk. Both King and Faulll
have joined the navy since the charge
was made, and Faux could not get
a leave of absence to be tried at this
term of court. Mrs. Faux and Mrs.
King, the wives of the two men, are
the women in the case. Mrs. King is
at present doing sentence in the
Jackson county Jail for larceny. Mrs.
Faulk was convicted on the same
charge with Mrs. King, but was able
to pay the fine.
Witnesses for the prosecution were
Buck" Peel, a hotel clerk, of ITALIA
hassee; George Rickenson, who drove
Kings automobile; Hatton, a shoe
store clerk from cambridge, Ga, and
Avery, from Tallahassee.
Witnesses for the defense were
Mrs. Alma Faulk, and the defendant
J. R. King. The case will come UP
again at the next term of court

MOTHER s DAY

Churches Announce Special
Sermons in Honor of

Mothers Day will be fittingly cele-
brated in practically all the churches
of the city tomorrow, and some of
the ministers announce special serv-
ices in memory of the mothers on
that date. The morning hour, when
the children will attend, has been Sc
lected to formally celebrate the day,
and special sermons will be preached
for the occasion.
At the Gadsden Street Methodist
Church, "Our Mothers" will be the

At the Knox Presbyterian Church,
Rev Mr.. Philips will preach a special
sermon to mothers. He especially in
vites all mothers who can possibly
do so, to attend at II o'clock.
Rev. D. ?. Slaughter, of the First
Methodist Church, announces his
morning subject as Mothers Influ-
ence," and it is expected that a large
congregation will hear this subject
ably discussed at the II a. m. ser
vice.
Motherhood and the Cross" will
be the subject of the II a. m. service
at the First Baptist Church. Rev. J.
A. Ansley extends a cordial Invitation
TO- the general public. Everybody is
requested to wear a white flower IN
memory of the best mother who ever
lived.

but even this did not keep down the
rising waters. Then it was decided
to throw overheard the deckload. A
considerable quantity was thus pitch
ed into the raging seas. BY this
time, however, it was seen that the
vessel was really settling fast and
it was decided to run her on the
beach. The nearest point then was
Dry Tortugas, and to that island the
boat was driven.
The captain remained with the yes
sci until the last, refusing to leave
the ship when a launch of the coast
guard service arrived to rescue the
men. When it was seen that the
schooner was a complete loss, and
that the waves were pounding her to
pieces, he decided to quit. Captain
Skinsistes, it is said, will later come
on to Pensacola, at which point cargo
was furnished his vessel.
The Mary Louise was formerly the
American schooner John L. Treat
She was a vessel of 436 tons, and IN
der the American flag made a num-

Greeks while at Fernandina, she made

and lumber for Europe. 1t is thought
she will prove a total loss.

CreaO of Louise Reaches Here
With First Story of Ship1Oreck

Five members Of the crew of the
Greek schooner Mary Louise arrived
here yesterday, the captain having
been left in Key West. Two other
members of the crew shipped on 2
transport at Key West, and the cap
tain remained there, it was stated, to
look after what remains of his yes
sci.
The Mary Louise, loading lumber
and timber here, started leaking when
some miles off Dry Tortugas. The
pumps were unable to keep the water
down, and it was necessary to ietti-
son a portion of the decllload. This.
however, did not help things and the
schooner was put ashore to save the
lives of the crew. She was fast set

the beach.
Those who arrived here were Geo.
Nabers, steward; Anastachia Bonha.
George Demos, John GeBossa and the
cabin boy, who is said to be able to
speak several languages fluently.
According to stories told by mem
bers of the crew, the Louise ran into
hard weather, and was pitched about
for two days and nights. For hours
the crew stood by the pumps and
worked hard. Some of the pumps
were operated by a gasoline engine,

BIC RECEPTION
GIVEN BRITISH
Astf-4ished by Elk
tent of His Welcome in
New York.
BIT ASSOCIATED PRESS.

New York, May 11.-Arthur James
Balfour, Great Britain's foreign sec
rotary, and members of the British
commission received a welcome Of
amazing proportions on their arrival
from Washington. Members of the
French mission were already here and
spent the day in various ways, Joffre
visiting the West Point Military
Academy, where he declared the stu
dent officers we're ready for service
in France Niviani, the French min
lister of justice, was greeted by more
than 500 members of the bar. Charles
Evans Hughes told Viviani how the
legal profession feels toward the war
and the comradeship of the United
States for France in fighting for
world justice.
The British and French war mis-
sions were entertained at a brilliant
banquet tonight. Among the guests
were Roosevelt and Taft.
The banquet speaking was opened
by an address of welcome by Mayor
Mitchell, who presented Balfour and
Eiviani with gold medals, emblematic
of their visit to New York. Viviani,
in q speech in French, said every
thought of Germany had been one O.
planning world domination, not only
militaristic, but by finance, diplomacy
and trade. He said Germany chose
her own time and then leaped at the
democracies of the world, who all
answered the challenge because Of the
predominant danger underneath.
Balfour characterized the German
autocracy as an imminent and over
mastering peril, and that another
Napoleon was seeking to overcome
the world.
