MOONEY JURY
CANNOT AGREE
Was Still Out This Morning Wher
Court Convened and Dis
guessing Second De-
gree Murder.

| UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 25.-Unless
the jury In the Rena Mooney bomb
plot case reaches verdict some
time today, complete disagreement
and discharge are probable, accord
ing to the view OF those who have
been watching the case closely since
the twelve men retired to begin their
deliberations.
No further word had come from
the jury room up to the time Super
Tor Judge Seawell resumed court to-
day. The furry of excitement which
followed the temperance of the
jurors in court late yesterday had
passed away. The twelve men then
requested the court to read again
that part of his instructions referring
to second degree murder and also
asked for the e. B. Morton letter,
one of the states exhibits in which
Mrs. Mooney was referred to as be-
ing interested in THE Blast" AL
exander Berkman's radical Qublica-
ton.
After getting this letter the Jury
retired again without comment.
Rumors in the hall of justice today
were that majority Of the jury
favors acquittal.

Across Southern Part of State
Finds Guardsmen Are
Well Treated.
COLLECTIONS ARE TAKEN
Some Towns Have Raised Money for

[By g. Walter Barr. ]

SOMEWHERE IN IOWA. July 25
An automobile trip made leisurely
across the southern part of the state
discloses public sentiment. crop con.
| ditions and other things as no other
way does.
The most interesting thing Just
now Is the sentiment toward the
soldiers about to depart for Deming
and France. The people of southern
Iowa have quite as much patriotic
| enthusiasm now as they did in the
historic days of 1861, judged by their
actions-the true test.
Corning and that whole country
had a monster farewell picnic in the
fair grounds, and saw to it that every
immediate relative of every soldier
in her company attended. Several
thousand people came, mostly in
automobiles. and there was about
half mile Of table clothes in row
containing the kind of big dinners
one would expect such people to
bring out on a big gala occasion
Later there were speeches, boxing
and baseball.
The captain Of the Red Oak COM
pany told with pride how the people
there collected $1,000 and spent it
under his direction for the soldiers
for comforts, conveniences and
lot Of ether hid beneath the false
bottom Of box for use in France

the field hospital. Also that company
got one day watermelon apiece;
on another day a big chicken dinner;
and on another day-but the cata-
logue of showers given that COM
pany was too long to remember.

And 80 on throughout the roster of

and including especially Creston

In all these towns, the people ask

WANTS TO KNOW
ABOUT FAMILY
SmItnton, Mo-, Woman Asks
Samuel Gilbert Is Living In
keokuk-RecaiIs Old
Residents,

Here's a chance for some Of the
older residents Of Keokuk to give
Mrs. Augusta Wright Porter of Smith
ton, Pettts county, Missouri, some in
ormation regarding family history
which she asks in a letter here Mrs.
Porter wants to know If there is such
a person as Samuel Gilbert living in
Keokuk. She writes that If he is liv-
Ing, he would be so to 70 years old.
"My family lived in Keokuk when
I was a child and Thomas Giibert's
family were our neighbors, living in
a double house on Tenth and High
streets, called the Mooney house.
Samuel Gilbert was then a young
man 10 years old and living with
his brother Tom who was pilot on
the river. My father, Daniel Wright
was also river pilot, running from
st. Louis to st. Paul, and our farni-
lies were intimate friends. Captain
Hines and Theo. Holiday were also
well known to my father in those old
river days. Another good friend of
our family was one George R. Smith,
who kept a grocery store on the
levee.
MANY years have passed, but I
have never forgotten my childhoods
home, or friends and If any of the
members of Thomas or Samuel Gil
tert's families are still living at that
city I would like to hear from them.
I would be known to them as Augusta
Wright or Guss. as I was nictnamed.
If I remember rightly, I think Samuel
Gilbert was fireman or engineer on
a steamboat. Anyway he was en-
ployed in some capacity"
If anyone can supply the informa-
ton desired, they may address Mrs.
Porter as Mrs. e. A. Porter at Smith
ton, Mo.
