OUT "a HOURS
WITHOUT
. VERDICT
Judges Charge Is Believed
Reason; Other Cases
Wait on Decision

Nearly "a hours after it re-
ceived the case Of four sus-
pended members of the Metro
politan police force, accused
of assaulting James II. Harker,
a jury in District Supreme
Court today had failed to
reach a. verdict.
The IL men spent the night at
the Continental Hotel in the Gus
tody of two U. s. marShals and
at 9::3O this morning resumed con-
sideration of the cases At 1880
b. m. they went to lunch, to re-
turn for further deliberation.
Defendants Are Uneasy
The four defendants, James A.
Mostyn, william ID. Latin, w. C.
GroonnS and w. T. Burroughs,
paced the corridors, accompanied
BY numerous relatives and friends,
awaiting decision on the indict-
ments charging simple assault
and assault with a dangerous
weapon.
No word came from the jury
room since early yesterday even
ing when the jurors asked for
photographs introduced in evi'
dence by the prosecution to show
the scene of the alleged beating,
and Harker's condition following
the questioning.
The case involving 13 other
defendants on charges Of
brutality were at a standstill
pending the Harker decision.
Ca~c Is Postponed
Robert ]. Barrett, headquarters
detective, accused of beating
George B. Baber last April, was
In court to answer the charge,
but the case was put over until
December 2 because of holiday
interruptions to the court
calendar.
The lengthy charge by Justice
James M. Proctor was cited by
others, however, as a reason why
the jurors would require a long
time to reach a verdict in the
Harker case.
The justice spent nearly two
hours yesterday afternoon sug-
gesting possible ways the verdict
might be returneI on the two
counts, one charging assault with
q dangerous weapon, which called
for a 10-year maximum sentence,
and the other for simple assault,
with year in jail and $500 fine
as the limit of sentence.
The fact that each of the four
defendants was accused of
O different offense by Harker's
testimony was considered as an
indication the jury, if finding any
Of them guilty, would not place
the guilt equally.

BYRNS QUITS
HOUSE RACE

The race for Democratic leader
of the House was narrowed again
today when Representative Joseph
w. Byrns of Tennessee announced
that he is not a candidate for
the post. He said he wished to
be chairman of the Appropria.
tions Committee.
Byrns' statement, following the
withdrawal yesterday of Repre-
sentative McDuffie of Alabama,
cleared the way for the election
of a Northern Democrat.
The leading Northern candi-
dates are Representatives John j.
O'Connor of New York and Henry
T. Rainey of Illinois. They will
apparently fight it out for the
coveted post.
ByrnS' decision is in line with
a movement among House Demo
cratic leaders to give leadership
to the North and to. retain the
seniority rule, under which the
chairman Of the most powerful
committees will be from the
South.

berg, sugar company execn-
tive, John Holland, special in
vestigator, told the Senate
Lobby Investigating Commit
tee today.
Holland said the records OF
Dahlberg's companies showed a
contribution of $4,000 to Presi-
dent Hoover's campaign and but
$1,000 to the campaign Of Alfred
E. Smith. He said the contrtbu-
tions came from three of Dahl
berg's companies.
Charges Law Violation
The committees investigator
claimed these contributions con-
stituted violation of the Federal
Corrupt Practices Act. He said
the act made it illegal for any
corporation to contribute to a
presidential campaign.
Holland said he had traced the
contributions as follows:
$4,000 to the Celotex Company,
$4,000 to the Southern Sugar
Company, and $4,000 to the
Southern Coast Company.
The inquiry turned away from
the sugar stock transactions Of
Senators James j. Davis (R) Of
Pennsylvania, and James E.
Watson (R) of Indiana. Holland
yesterday told of the two senators
getting stocks in Dahlberg's COM
panies early in 1928.
The investigation today cen
tered on Dahlberg's efforts to aid
the election of Mr.. Hoover.
Active For Hoover
Holland produced a Sheaf Of
correspondence between Dahlberg
and Herman Robson, San Fran
cisco broker. which disclosed the
sugar executive was active in Mr..
Hoover's behalf in Florida.
Holland also told of Dahlberg
contributing to the Republican
presidential campaign in Florida.
The investigator said Dahlberg
gave $500 to the Hoover cause
in Florida.
The investigator also showed
Dahlberg tried to get President
Hoover to open a new sugar mill
at Clewiston, Florida. The plan
failed, but the President later
visited the mill as a guest Of
