COUNCIL TO ACT ANEW ON MOVING BUILDINGS
Alderman Judd Differs in Opinion With C. o. P.
 Colleagues

A special meeting of the common council will be held Monday evening at 7;SO o'clock to act on a report of the board of public works in which that commission declines a sugges. ton of the common council that if rescind its action in authorizing the moving of two houses through Cherry street.
 There is much sentiment in the council in favor of refusing to allow the house moving, but on the other hand there is an opinion handed down by Corporation Counsel John H. Kirkham that such action will give the petitioner a damage claim against the city. 4
 Another element entering Into the case today that gave indication that the council will stand by It's original action and permit the moving of these houses was statement by AL derman William H. Judd, republi- can lealer Tn the coUnCll, that he believes the city would make itself liable in a court action unless the petitioners request is granted.
 |. Attorney George Le Witt, owner of the buildings now standing on Cherry street, entered into contract with c. II. Wooding to move the buildings and purchase building lots On Ellis street, only on condition that the council granted permission to move the houses. This the coun- cil did, but at a later meeting re- scinded its action. In the meantime Le Witt had gone 10 some expense, and court action is threatened un- less he is allowed to proceed.

 DEADLOCkED TODAY
Court Attaches Think That
 Agreement Is Impossible
WOMAN MEMBER TAKEN ILL
Understanding Is That Last Vote Taken Showed Six In Favor of Acquittal and Equal Number For COnyiCting Accused,

Los Angeles, Dec. 27.-The fury in the trial Of Kid Mccoy, ex-pugt- list, for the murder of Mrs. Theresa Mors, last August, returned to its deliberations today after failure to agree last night. One of it's nine women members was i'll from a severe cold.
 The jury prior to being locked up for the night. reported 1t stood six to six. Court attaches today voiced their opinion that a perma- nent deadlock had been reached.
 Out Since Yesterday
 A jury was given the case at noon yesterday. The jurors retired last night In a six to six deadlock. The Jury resumed deliberations this morning in the hope that a fresh viewpoint of the evidence might be taken and a decision reached which would tell how the kids remaining days shall be spent.
 Before they were locked up for the night, the twelve jurors told the court they were divided evenly on the question of the defendants guilt or innocence when the last ballot was taken.
 When that announcement was made they just had finished listen- ing to the transcript of testimony given during the trial by Mrs. Jen- nie Thomas, McCoy's sister who told the grand jury which indicted him that her brother had admitted he was afraid I killed that woman,'' ,'' but who was unable when called to the stand during the trial to remem- Der exactly what he had said or what she had told the grand jury.
 If the reading of that testimony and the settling of jurors doubts as to whether witnesses had told of al- legged suicide threats by Mrs. Mors had any effect on the jury 1t was not apparent to observers.
 Mccoy, 1t was brought out when the suicide question was raised, was the only witness who told of such suicide threats.

GERMANY TO KNOW
 CAUSE FOR ACTION
Allied Note Refusing Evacuation
 Believed Explanatory
TEXT NOT MADE PUBLIC
World Knows, However, That Pow CTS Are Definitely Agreed Not to Leave Cologne Area on January 10, as Treaty Permits.

By The Associated Press.
 Paris, Dec. 27-The allied council of ambassadors today agreed upon the terms of letter to Germany announcing that the Cologne area will not be evacuated on January 10. This was the date stipulated for the evacuation in the treaty of Versailles If Germany had fulfilled her obligations under the treaty.
 Text Withheld.
 The text of the letter will prob ably not be published until 1t has had time to reach Berlin.
 The note will be presented by the five allied ambassadors In Berlin simultaneously, 1t is stated, the al- lies thus presenting a solid front to Germany.
 Although the outlines of the note were drawn today the document needs some finishing touches. so it was decided that the ambassadors would not sign 1t until Wednesday next, when they will bold another session.
 The fact that the phrasing Is seen to require so much time Is taken to mean that Germany will be given the reasons why the evacuation is 10 be postponed instead of merely the blunt announcement of the allied decision to remain in the Cologne bridGehead.
 No Date Mentioned.
 The ambassadors decided it was unnecessary to settle definitely now the question of the possible date of the evacuation or to choose be- tween the French and British view points as to the advisability Of withdrawing. the British being re- ported inclined to favor evacuation after the receipt of the military mis- slon's complete report. The esSen- tial thing for the moment, It was agreed, was 10 notify Germany that the evacuation could not take place on Jan. 10. The question as to what may properly be done when the , final report of the mission is sub" mitted remains open for discussion when +hs time comes.
 l Herr von Hoesch, German am bassador, who saw Jules Cambon. French member of the council Of ambassadors, before the meeting, is understood to have reiterated the German views as to the bad effect non-evacuation would have on the German domestic political situation. M. Cambon. who Is president of the council, replied that he took note of the observations but was unable to give any assurances as to the de- cisions of the council. since the question was not one of domestic policies alone but of security to the allies as provided in the treaty of i Versailles.
 The ambassadors decided that the note which will be finally passed upon al another meeting Wcdnes- day shall be presented collectively by the ambassadors of France, Great Britain, Italy, Japan and Belgium, so as to make it clear 10 the German government that there are no breaches in the allied front on the question of disarmament.
