JURY FAILS TO
REACH ACCORD
In VEINS CASE
Discharged After "a Hours
Reported Jury Stood 8 to
4 For Conviction
FIRST WOMAN JUROR
Mrs. w. II. BOdenstab Named
''FOrew0man" by Jurors
As a Compliment
FIRST WOMAN JUROR

Henry Wicns, farmer in Lein town
ship, charged with maliciously burn
ing the threshing separator of his
neighbor, will be tried again in dis
trict court as Il result Of disagree
ment reported Sunday afternoon at
o'clock by the jury which held his
case. The jury, it was understood,
stood eight to four for conviction.
Circumstantial evidence was a
stumbling block with some of the
jurors, the state relying chiefly up
on this kind of evidence for convic-
ton Wiens will be tried again at
the June term, States Attorney Al
len said.
The case was the first in Burleigh
county in which woman juror has
participated in deliberations, and it
is understood that the juror, Mrs.
w. II. Bodenstab, voted with those
favoring conviction. Mrs. Bodenstab
was named "forewoman" of the jury
by the jurors.
The Baird law passed by the re-
cent session of the legislature also
was invoked for the first time III
North Dakota. 1t permits jurors to
be separated during consideration of
a case. The jury went out about D
o'clock Saturday afternoon and was
out about "a hours. Mrs. Albin He'd
strom, wife of Sheriff Hedstrom, was
: .swornii in as special bailiff'and Mrs.
Bodenstab remained in the sheriff's
residence when the jurors ceased
their deliberations Saturday night,
and rejoincd the others Sunday for
continued deliberation. Mrs. Bodcn-
stab was called on another case.
The Baird law, which amended the
present law forbidding jurors to be
separated during consideration Of Il
case, says in part: "Provided, how
ever, that where a trial jury contains
both men and women members, the
trial judge in his discretion, if he
deems it proper to do so, direct that
the women members Of the jury be
placed in charge of woman bailiff
and permitted to retire to Il suitable
place for rest; and the men men,
bcrs of the jury placed in charge Of
Il man bailiff for Il similar purpose.
In all whore the jury is permitted
to be separated, rs above stated, the
trial Judge shall admonish the jury
that they must not in any manner
discuss the case among themselves,
or permit anyone to discuss it with
them, while thew are so separated;
and that they must discuss and con-
slider the case only in the jury room
when all members of the jury are
present"
The law was an emergency meas
urc and became effective March 9Th
on the governors approval.
II Jurors Drawn.
Seventeen additional jurors were
drawn for the remainder of the dis
trict court term, WHICH may continu"
for two weeks. The jurors drawn
are: l.. J. Morrison, f. J. Gobel,

ALASKA HAS MORE WOMEN
Sex Ratio 10 Gradually Being Equal
lied In the Far Northwest Pos
session of America.

Whether modern girls are becoming
more adventurous or Alaska more
tame, statistics recently published by
the Eugenics Research association in
dictate that our northern territory is
becoming less nomadic land of single
cussedness and settling down more to
starting the home fires burning. There
has been continually approaching
balance In the number Of males to 100
females. In the total population this
ratio has moved as follows: In 1900,
1883; in 1910, 247.9; in 1920, 1885.
"Industrially, eugenically and So
cially, the great need of the territory
is settlers WHO move into the region
with their families" says the report,
according to the Syracuse Herald.
perhaps the distribution of age
groups with sex ratios indicates ap-
preaching sterilization Of population.
In 1920 the sex ratios by age groups
we're: Forty and more years Of age,
3O4.5 males to 100 females; twenty
to thirty-nine years Of age, I'LL males
to 100 females; under twenty years OF
age, 1907 males to 100 females"

ACE OF SPADES TITLE PAGE
Fact That Il Was Once ~Duty Card"
Responsible for the Custom That
Now Prevails.

In England the first act imposing a
tax upon playing cards provided that
no pack should be sold unless marked
b. the stamp ONCE to show that the
duty had been paid, one stamp being
placed on the wrapper and another on
the face Of lone Of the cards"
A good deal Of confusion arose, his
torians explain, and as the law was
often evaded a later regulation laid 1t
down that the ace Of spades should be
the duty card and that it should be
printed by the authorities themselves,
the makers supplying the paper. Sheets
Of 20 aces Of spades used to be issued
by the stamp Office to the manufactur-
srs for a sovereign.
A century later an act lowered the
duty to threepence, and this was laid
on the wrapper supplied by the stamp
sffice. The manufacturers, then, of
course, printed their own aces or
spades, but the custom of having the
card different from the rest still pre-
vailed, and the ace was, and Is, gen.
orally utilized as an advertisement for
the makers-a kind Of title page as 1t
were, to the pack.

FORCED TO GIVE UP HAREMS
Financial Necessity Really the Mother
of Any Turkish Reform In
That Direction.

The word "harem," for all it's rich
connotation, is now simply the name
for the women's quarters In the Turk
ish home. Poverty in the palaces and
out of them is more responsible than
western ideals for the changed condi-
ton there.
Education and the world movement
for broadening the freedom Of women
have, of course, had their influence.
The French novel also put window OF
a kind in the Turkish harem, and
many Turkish men are vigorously pro-
testing the notions Of freedom which
they have put into the heads Of the
women.
But necessity, rising out of the long,
protracted wars, is the real mother
of freedom for Turkish women. The
Turkish Golfers, both public and pri-
vate, are too depleted to permit the
expensive establishments of the old
DAYS. Men are no longer able to main
tain women in idleness, and war. with
Its demands on man power, has made
woman labor an actual necessity.

OF the merovinoian Period.

Paris wOrkmen engaged in carry
ing out street improvements In the
Boulevard st. Marcel, near the Jardin
des Plantes. have apparently I'M
earthed vestiges Of cemetery dating
from the MerOvingian period. on the
site of portion of what was much
later known as the collegiate burial
ground OF ST. Marcel. So far five
stone collins have been discovered, to-
gether with. large number of bones.
The discoveries tend TO prove that
during the MerOvingian period only
the more important dead received the
honor OF burial IN collins of any kind.
In one of the collins brought to light
small quantity of coal is said to
have been found. which indicates that
the deceased person was one OF the
great ones of his time. The purpose
of purifying the soul Of the departed
