mately 100000 of the 100000 railroad
shopmen who went on strike July l

PACE JURY DISAGREES
after LONG SESSION;
TO HOLD new TRIAL

Trial of James Pace, attorney, can
didate for prosecuting attorney on the
Democratic ticket, ended at 10 o'clock
Tuesday morning when the jury after
being out since 5:45 o'clock Monday
evening announced that 1t had failed
to agree. The case probably will be
tried again. Mr.. Pace had been. charg-
ed with illegal possession of liquor.
Date for the new trial had not been
set up to late hour Tuesday. Judge
W A. Bond announced that he would
hold conference with the prosecuting
attorney, Paul A. Beckett, with view
to setting the case for trial again. The
court docket, however, is so filled with
business for the present term that the
new trial is not expected to be held
for month or more.
Although no member of the jury
would make definite statements con.
corning the vote, rumors current in
the courthouse Tuesday were that the
vote had stood six to six since the jury
first went put. late Monday.
Spasmodic Law Enforcement
'This is. a time of spasmodic en-
forcement of the law said Lon Feem
ster, attorney for James F. Pace, in
beginning his argument before the
jury Monday. "Officials are going
after the minor offenders without re
gard to the weightier violations. Car
rying liquor is violation of the letter
of the law, but not an offense like
house breaking"
Considerable capital was made by
Mr.. Feemster of the fact that one oi
the police officers had testified they
were walking along the street, while
another said they. had been standing
at the point where Mr.. Pace was ar
rested for 20 TO % minutes.
Must End CawIessness.
Prosecutor Beckett deplored the
tendency of the rising generation Il
break the law, in his closing argu
ment He pointed to the apprehension
of Mr.. Pace as a violator of the Law
as merely an -indicationsof the tend
l'ency of the times.
1t is this attitude that is headinf
the country toward the rocks, anc
breaking down the moral fiber of oul
nation" he said 1T is your RESPONSE
/ bility as citizens to do the right thins
! by the community and your families
and say that the law shall not be brok
len at viii. This one case will no
save the, country but this with many
others will, if they are properly de
eided."

PROHIBITION VIEWS
WILL BE SHOWN BY
OHIO VOTERS NOV. |
By MARk sULLIvAN

: COLUMBUS, Ohio, Oct. 24-The
form in which Ohio will vote the pro
hibition question at the coming selec-
ton is such that it will provide a test
of, public sentiment more, dependable
in its results and more widespread in
its interest than any of-the many
straw votes that have been widely dis
cussed. The wording of the issue as
it is presented to the Ohio voters
reads as, follows:. ....l. =
mo beverage containing az or less
percent. of alcohol by weight shall be
deemed an intoxicating liquor. and
the manufacture and sale -of such bev-
erages for consumption in homes and
places of abode shall be lawful No
beverage containing more than one
half of one per cent of alcohol by vol
ume may be sold TO be drunk on the
premises. where sold.
. Possession of intoxicating liquors
in TIC home or residence of any
person for his or her personal use or
the use of his or her family, or his
or her guests when not intended for
sale or other illegal purposes shall
not be unlawful. No search or at
tempt to search the person or prop
erty without previously securing 2
search warrant shall be authorized in
the enforcement of laws pertaining to
the prohibition of intoxicating liquors. .
CleVerly Stated
1t will be observed that this pro-
posal as framed by the "wets" goes
some distance toward placating the
"drys" 1t probably represents an ef-
fort on the part of the ''wets" to
state their demands for a change in
such way as to have as little Of
fense as possible to persons who are
opposed to the return of the saloon.
1t will be observed that so far as
saloons or public drinking places are
concerned, this proposal is Identical
with the Volstead Act itself.
In shops for the sale of beverages
in which the beverages are served for
drinking on the premises this proposal
says that the limit shall continue TO
be the present limit of the Volstead
act. namely. one half of one per cent
of alcohol; but in shops which are not
restaurants. and not public drinking
places, beverages containing as high
as 2% per cent of alcohol can be sold
in bottles to be carried home or con-
sumed outside the premises.
Proposal Strongly Supported
OF course, the reply of the "drys''
to this is that the distinction is i'm
practicable. that there would be sold
in bottles; that there would be nothing
to prevent the customer from opening
| the bottle on the spot and drinking it.
or carrying it out to the sidewalk and
drinking it there.

CoNSTANTfNOPLE, Oct. 24.-The
allied generals and the Turkish Ma
tionalists are stiIl at loggerheads over
the route to be taken by the Turkish
gendarmeire in their occupation of
eastern Thrace. Rafet Pasha, the new
military governor of Thrace at
lengthy conference with the allied

mood
Rafet Pasha is being entertained bv
the allied high commissioners during
his stay here. He plans to leave for
Thrace on Saturday. With Sakir Bey,
the new civil governor of Thrace. he
is considering numerous applications
for employment from Turks desiring
to participate in the government of
the province.
America Neutral
While all most important offices will
be filled by men appointed by the
Angora government, the subordinat ,
positions will be largely occupied BY
Turks from Constantinople. All the
gendarmes with the exception of a
small force here, are now gathered at
Mudonfa and Ismid awaiting worsl
from the allies to embark for Thracc
Rear Admiral Mark Bristol CON
ferred yesterday with the commanders
of the II newly arrived American de
stroyers, outlining the near eastern
situation and advising them of ths
position of the navy therein. He ex-
planned that the American forces must
maintain complete neutrality and de
vote their energies to humanitarian
work and the protection of American
property.

$500 were received by big packers

Receipts were estimated at 10000
cattle, 10000 hogs, $4,000 sheep and

Some of the best yearlings were
called higher. Choice heavy steers
sold at $40 while the best again
were placed at $10.10. Even palmer
lots were fully steady and the trade

AS for the crisis in the railroad
situation, the government here Is
not as hopeful of results as in the

contemplation here. The coal sit

A decision has been rendered by
the board and the question is now
whether the railroad slIopmen will

the face of it.
Eyes Railroad Situation.
If they strike they may focus at
tention anew on the fact that the
railway ldUOT DOdTu uluC1 ING
transportation act has not power
to enforce its decisions except the
moral power of public opinion and
congress may be persuaded to put
teeth" in the transportation act.
Mr. Harding while a member of the
United States senate voted for an
anti-strike prevention to be in
serted in the transportation act
now on the statute books but the
provision was eliminated before
the bill was adopted. 1t would re-
quire little impetus for an acute
railroad situation to cause mr.
Harding to appeal for such pro-
vision again though the effect on
labor as a whole at 4 moment when
members of congress are up for
reelection might prevent action
at this time.
It is not expected here that a
general waIkout will develop on
the railroads and that those shop
craft unions which do strike will
not seriously disturb trans porta
ton in this country. The question
OF whether the railway employees
will openly defy the decision of the
railway labor board by a strike is
really doubted here for drastic ac-
ton of some kind would be ineVi-
table from government sources.
The opinion still prevails that an
eleventh hour postponement or

Curb Market
BY STUART P. WEST

Wall Street, New York, June 20.
Weakness in the oil stocks was
the main feature on the curb ex-
change today just as 1t was on the
stock exchange. No reason for the
declines was to be found IN trade
developments, for it has only been
within the last few days that oil
prices have been raised. The
weakness was based wholly on in
side market conditions. 1t was n
the nature of a further reaction
from last moLN@s over speculation.
Standard Oils led the decline with
special weakness in Standard of
