jury celebrating the fate of
Roger Touhy and his henchmen
charged with the kidnapping of
John (Jake the Barber) Factor
today was reported to be II to 1
in favor of conviction. An early
verdict was expected.
Three ballots had been taken

up last night at 1852 a. m. The
jurors sent word to Judge Michael
Feinberg they were deadlocked ON

While the jury room debate was
raging, sometimes at a violent
pitch, Touhy and his two code
fendants-GuS Schaefer and Al

mained locked in cells at the
county Jail.
Among the courtroom specta-

ShOrtqgeOfHair
Seen as Braids
Come Back

NEW YORK, Feb. 2 G.N.S.).
America is becoming hair-con-
scious. It's feminine half, any
how.
Braids of hair, halos of hair,
ribbons of hair wrapped around
short locks, tiara-fashion, have
come into. vogue within two
months. It's getting so a girl
can't feel dressed without a
little hair that is not her own.
Harry Glemby, who knows so
much about hair that he has
only to touch a strand, blind
folded, to determine what
country it comes from, says:
"There isn't enough hair in
the world to satisfy the de-
mand.
The bObbing fad was not
merely American or European.
1t was worldwide. Girls bob
bed the/r hair everywhere, even
before they went into converts.
We used to be able to buy it
from the converts. Now, if the
fashion continues, we'll have to
find artificial hair"
AS he spoke four society girls
strobe up and down the hotel
suite where a cocktail party in
honor of hair was in progress.
All four wore somebody else'S
hair, dyed to match their own.

FERGUSON NAME WILL BE MISSING
First Time Since 1914
Cognomen Has
Been Out

AUSTIN, Tex, Jan. 80 Q.N.SJ.
A familiar name may be missed
by Texas voters this year when
they go into the voting booths to
cast their votes: for Gov. Miriam
A. ("Ma") Ferguson has an
nounced she will not again seek
the governorship.
In Texas such announcements
are always taken with a grain of
political salt, particularly when
made several months before the
time for opening a campaign. In
fact, Husband Jim, the vocal
member of the Texas executive
family, has since insinuated the
decision was not final.
First Since 1914
But if the FerguSonS should
stick by the announcement, it
would be the first election, barring
one, since 1914 that the name
ferguson has not appeared on the
official ballots. John Voter has
had 18 separate opportunities in
the past 1S years, to scratch the
name of Ferguson.
In Texas, state elections are
held each two years, and since

away the heavy fall.
While the storm is sweeping on
up the coast, threatening to give
New York a taste of winter today
Washington will be clear and cold,
the Weather Bureau predicted,
with a rising temperature tomor-
row.
Pedestrians and traffic moved
with care this morning on the
slippery streets, and scores OF per.
sons were bruised as they slipped
and fell.
One man died as a result OF
the storm last night, another was
killed in an automobile accident
near here, and scores OF persons
were injured in traffic accidents
during the night.

Henry John Strickert, 81, 200

w. j. White, 46, of Ashland, Va,

way near Fredericksburg while en-
route here.
Because of traffic hazards on
the ice-covered Thirteenth Street
hill, between Florida Avenue and
