 Unable to Agree

GLOBE, Oct. 3.-Jurors who have been hearing the testimony in the trial of George D. Smith, charged with riot ing at the Old Dominion picket line, for the last week are now considering the fate of the accused secretary of he Globe miners union. They retir- ed to the jury room at four this after noon and at midnight had not reached verdict. Various rumors were anoat as to how the jury stood, but none was authentic An unusual fea ture of the jury's deliberations was the fact that many of Smiths associates, some of whom are accused with him, held street corner session" opposite the jury room until after midnight. The authorities dispersed them when their attention was called to the fact that they were plainly visible from the jury room window.

Insurance BiU to
 Be Passed Today
(By Review Leased wire.)

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.-An agree ment to vote on the soldiers and sail ors' war risk insurance bill and amendments no later than p. m- to- morrow was adopted today by the senate.
 Practically all of today was devoted to explanation of the bill by Senator Williams, in charge of the bill and de- bate over the advisability of continr- ing the insurance plan after the war. Senator Weeks opposed this feature of the bill and Senator Shoot intro ducei an amendment providing for turning over to private companies all insurance policies held by enlisted men, the government paying the diff ferences in cost.
 Another amendment by the Utah senator would establish the. same family allowance as were operative during the Spanish-American war.
 All committee amendments to the house bill except one reducing the maximum amount of insurance to q man from $1O,000 to $7,500 on which there will be a vote tomorrow were accepted.

NegrOs From St. Louis Helped M
 Illinois RiOting
(By Review Leased wire.)

BELLEVILLE, H.. Oct. 3.-Negroes from St. Louis, Mo. crossed the river to East St. Louis, H.. and were mem bers of the mob of blacks who shot and killed Detective Coppedge and Policeman Wodley of East St. Louis early on the morning of July and precipitated the rioting that night. ac- cording to the testimony of Edward Kessner, vice president of the Union Trust and Savings bank of East St Louis, at the trial of thirteen negroes charged with the murder of the two officers. Kessner said he had seen scores of automobiles filled with ne groes crossing the free bridge over the Mississippi river to East St- Louis between and 9 o'clock on the night of July 1. He said these ne- groes drove to the district where the negroes later mobilized.
 The prosecution will attempt to prove that many St. Louis negroes had agreed to support their friends in East St Louis in their fight against the whites.

To All Deputies

want to impress upon each dep uty sheriff the absolute necessity for extreme self-cor -rol, cool, calm judgment and patience. Avoid all display of weapons. Remember, you are deputized for protection of self and property and the ;aainten- ance of peace. You are subject to my call, a call which will be made when necessary.
 Let no act of yours .end to de- feat the object for which you were ieputized, namely the preservation of peace. I hold each man respon- sible for any illegal act or excess of ais authority and this applies to ev- cry man in this district.

a morbund state. It was the dogma of impending dissolution of the mon- archy which made our position in Flu rope difficult. By proving ourselves in this war thoroughly sound, and at least equal to the others, we destroyed the hopes that we could be overtbrown by force of arms"
 Wants Permanent Peace
 This new competition which has forced itself into the world war af- lords the opportunity of not only ac- cepting the idea of disarmament and arbitration, but also of working with our whole energy towards it's realiza- tion. Europe after the war must be, placed on a basis of right, offering a guranatee of permanence. This basis must offer security against any future war of revenge. We must bequeath to our childrens' children as a legacy that they will be spared such a ter rible war as this, and that is only possible through disarmament and ar bitration.
 Tt is superfluous to say that dis armament must never be directed against particular state or group of powers. and that it is must comprise land sea and air in the same degree.
 Adhere to Aim
 We have from the beginning stated our aim and adhered to it. But let no one cherish the delusion that this pacific and moderate program of ours can and will hold good forever If our enemies compel us to continue the war we shall be obliged to revise our program and demand compensation.
Bisbee daily review., 1917-10-04
Forecasts Victory

-'I speak for the present moment, because I am convinced that world peace cannot come on the basis which have set forth. If the war. how ever, continues we reserve for our selves a free hand am absolutely convinced that our position a year hence will be incomparably better than today. But I would consider it crime to carry on the war for any material or territorial advantages for single day longer than is necessary for the integrity of the monarchy and our future safety.
 Reserves Right
 If our enemies refuse to listen and compel us to continue this murder. then we reserve the right to revise our terms. I am not very optimistic of the disposition of the entente to conclude peace by agreement on the above basis. An overwhelming ma iority of the entire world wants peace by agreement, but some few men are preventing it. We shall in this case pursue our way with sangroid and steady nerves. We know that we can hold out at the front and at home. Our hour will come. and with it a sure guarantee of the free and peace full development of Austria-Hungary.
