NEW YORK, September 19-Fed-
eral Judge Robert ]. Mcmillan today
refused to discharge the deadlocked
jury celebrating the mail fraud case
of William J. Graham and James c..
Mckay, Reno gamblers and promoters,
and ordered the jurors to make a
fresh start"
Shortly before retiring last night
the jury sent a note to Judge McMil-
Ian, saying it could not agree and re-
questing a discharge
The court received and opened the
message this morning and called the
jurors before him. 231a hours after
they had received the case.
Il have your note, gentlemen, T"
Judge Mcmillan said! IT realize that
there is an enormous pile of evidence
in this case.
i cautioned you yesterday about the
necessity Of approaching this case in
good humor among yourselves. Every
good juror-and every good judge
should be able to review testimony
with an open mind.
Il want you to make a fresh start.
If there has been any controversy
among you, go out and shake hands
with one another and say Boys, we'll
try again."
The judge gave the jurors an m-
marked transcript of the testimony Of

Senator Ellison Smith, senior Sena-

of course, and the chairman Of the
Senate Committee on Agriculture, de-
hvered a speech recently which is a
conclusive answer to the administra-
tion's position on constitutional change.
Ignores Usurpation Of hower.
It will be noted that Mr.. Roper Is
cautious about expressing exactly the
wording of the forthcoming amend
ment and whether or not it is to be
limited to national emergencies" His
speech is an attempt to state the con-
stitutional issue from the administra-
tons standpoint. 1t ignores, however,
the issue of uSurpation of power and
the fact that constitutional alterna-
tives were rejected by the New Deal.
The country may insist on seeing
these tried before it will concede that
the Constitution, which Washington
and Madison and Hamilton wrote, was
a charter that now must be discarded

all the evils of blocs and groups and
lobbies it brings to Washington to In

report by an Interstate Commerce
Commission examiner recommending
passenger fares at cents a mile fcr
coach travel and 3 cents for travellers
on Pullman cars.

Pullman travel as nearly uniform with
coach fares as conditions will permit
in order to give the most effective
play to the factor of comfortable
sleeping facilities offered in the Pull

discrimination as a result Of an eS-
cessive spread" was recommended by
the company.
Four Roads Protest.
Meanwhile a protest by four Eastern
railroads against proposed reductions
in passenger fares, declaring the cut
would cost them SGT ,456, 1893 annually
and preclude adequate transportation,
was before the commission.
The Baltimore g. Ohio Railroad,
which has experimental fares in force
on some of its lines, did not join in
the objections of the other Eastern
lines to a report of Examiner Milton
Koch of the commission recommend
ing that fares on coaches be fixed at
2 cents a mile and on Pullman cars at
3 cents.
The roads filing the application esti-
mated the annual losses in revenue at
