There was a demonstration from he spectators iu the court room that had ,u be quelled by Sheriff Char e. X Gates. The jury deliberated for three hours and fifteen minutes.
 ] is understood that the jury took four ballots and that on none of these did more than two jurymen vote for conviction.
 The defendant showed signs of the strain and appeared worried as the jury filed back into the court room. When the verdict was rendered tears ccursed down his cheeks. He was es- corted from the court room by rela- tives a free man for the first time since January 9th last. when he was taken into custody.
 Undrsmatie

The defense at orneys pointed cut that there was a complete lack of evidence connecting their cient with the murder, and a lack of at least two witnesses, or their equivalent. connecting the defendant vi h the crime. which the law re quires.
 Mazzola is a section hand. His mothef-in-law. Mrs. Rosaria Lorella WAS found murdered the morning e. January 3rd. There is no question that n murder was committed. This fact was not questioned by defense attorneys. The woman had been

PARTIES PLAN BIG BATTLE TO
 CONTROL SENATE
Democrats Expect to Gain Seats C. o. P. Expect
 to Hold Their Senators

WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. G. Party leaders have begun to think seriously about the Senatorial cam paigns next year in which one- third of the Senate membership, consisting of nineteen Republicans and thirteen Democrats, must stand for reelection if they desire to re- main in office.
 The Republicans have already selected a special committee to help Senators in the party who are seek ing reelection.
 The Democrats have been dis cussing hopefully their chances of capturing five or six seats in States where party lines are closely di- vided. The States in which the Democrats believe they have the best chances to capture seats from R e D u b jeans are Massachusetts, Delaware, Rhode Island, Oklahoma, and Kentucky.
 Republican leaders profess con- fidence that they will retain most, if not all their seats, and also gain seat in Iowa. They also expect to make hard bids for seats in New Mexico and Tennessee and possibly in Virginia.

 RECEIVED AT PLANTS

Comparatively few fish are being taken by herring packers in Cha tham Strait, according to G. A. Rounsefell, Aquatic Biologist of the United States Bureau of Fish cries. who has just returned here after spending two months study ing the herring fisheries in that district. His work is far from being complete and he will spend the rest of the season in the field.
 Samples of herring have been obtained from all parts of South eastern Alaska. These are used by MT. Rounsefell in studying the life history of the herring. Data gath cred by him will be used as basis for future regulations by the bureau and it is expected will have a bearing on the much disputed eues- tion as to whether the herring sup ply in this section of the Terri tory is being depleted by opera tions of the reduction works and mild curers.

By L. A. BROPHY Associated Press Feature EditOr)

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6. Four major factors stand out in the in- creased, and increasing, cost of maintaining Americas national land defense which President Hoover re- gards as a possible place to prune the country's budget. They are:
 Development of an air defense under the five-year progressively expansion program of 1926.
 Increased expenditures for army housing.
 The cruiser building program of the navy.
 The exhaustion of war time sup plies.
 Two of these same factors, avia- tion development and exhaustion Of war supplies, apply equally to increasing naval costs. With the navy, however, one of the main prospective upward jumps of ex- penditures has to do with the con- struction of new cruisers.
 What will happen in that regard, as President Hoover has pointed out depends on the success of ne- gotiations for further naval reduc- tion treaties.
 The Presidents ann 0 uncement that he would appoint board of army officers within the general staff to find out what can be done toward reducing military expendi-

 Quiet Prevailing

NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-Prospects of one of the bloodiest Tong wars in years is seen by additional kill ings in this city and Boston, bring ing the dead to five in two days, in addition to several wounded.
 A few hours after United States Attorney Charles Futile and the Chinese Consul General had warn ed Tong leaders that no violence would be tolerated pending a peace confluence, Harlem laundryman was shot and killed at his ironing board. Similarly, two other Chinese were shot and killed within few hours after.
 Police Deceived
 According to advices received here Tong leaders assured the Boston Police there would be no Tong war fare in that city but there has been killings and the Police said this is the first time Tong leaders have deliberately deceived them.
 The Police believe that the kill ings so far will result in the blood fest Tong war ever seen in the New England States.
 Situation Tense
 In Chicago and Newark the situ- .ation is tense but quiet, following ono death in eacsae citys on .zs, Sunday.
 The cause of the outbreak still remains a mystery.

The war at Newark how ever, is believed to be the result of the opium trade.
