SYRACUSE. N. Y, April ~
Hopelessly deadlocked. the jury was
dismissed today from further dehber-
alton In the Dutch Schultz income
tax evasion trial. more than a hours
after receiving the case. Judge Pred
erick III. Bryant Immediately set May
IA for . retrial after being informed
by John H. McEvers. special prose-
eutor, that the Attorney General at
Washington had requested the date
be fixed rs early as possible.
We will keep on trying, said Nc
Evers, speaking for the downcast
prosecution cast, land We feel conf
dent We will get conviction.
Schultz Refuses Comment.
Schultz, who stood trial on charges
of dodging payment Of $92 600 tax
on income of $481 900 amassed in
1929. 1890 and 1881. said:
Il have nothing to say"
His bail Of S75, 600 having been con-
tinued, the man who was tops in the
beer racket Of the Bronx in the last
golden days" Of prohibition-the
tough buck days" as he called them
had his coat over his arm and his hat
on his head, ready TO leave. But
where he was going neither ne nor
his counsel would reveal.
A few minutes later he went down
the marble corridor along which he
has paced on miles during the trial
and while waiting for the long think
ing jury Again there appeared to
return upon him that spirit of old
time braggadoccio that led him to
declare the Government spent . mil
ion to bring me into court"
Can Get Is Years.
Had he been convicted, he would
have faced q maximum of Is years IN
prison and a fine of $40, 200.
Twice the jury, middle aged on the
average, came into the court room to
tell Judge Bryant they had not
reached an agreement.
The first time. at 11:47 am.
Michael G. Shea, the foreman. said:
your honor, we have not been able
to agree"
Was 1t a hopeless disagreement, the
Judge wanted to know.
NO." replied Shea.
do you think you might come to
an agreement"
Yes, think we may agree" Shea
replied, and the judge sent the IL

By ths Associated Press,

By ths Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 27.-The up.
ward stampede In world silver mar
kets was brought to q halt today
and yesterdays advance in the price
Of the white metal was cancelled.
Mexico strove TO repair It's seri-
Gus trampled monetary system. and
Chinese banking quarters breathed
a sigh of relief.
But silver miners. despite the set
back in world silver prices, still hoped
to see the price 60 on up to s1.2e
an ounce.
All banks In Mexico were closed
for the day, silver coins called In to
be exchanged for paper currency, and
exports banned by presidential de-
cree. Treasury inspectors proceeded
to withdraw all silver coins from local
banks and at 6 pm. 10000. 900 pesos
had been taken. the government pay
ing the equivalent in bank notes.
Washington considered the prob
lem but remained silent az to what
its next step would be.
Spectators Cash In.
The fact that the Treasury failed
to boost its domestic buying price
above the world price prompted spec
ulators in London, Montreal and
other markets to cash in their profits.
The world price of bar silver in
/ New York slid back a. cents to
1924 cents an ounce, or slightly un-
der the Treasury's price to American
mines of 1857 cents. London and
Montreal prices reacted similarly.
Shares of mining companies in the
New York Stock Exchange lost about
! 81 TO So a share, but retained most OF
! their gains registered earlier in the
week.
! The Mexican crisis was provoked by
the fact that the world price of silver
had risen to a level which made 1t
more profitable to melt up silver
pesos and sell the metal. rather than
to spend the coins at their face value
It became necessary to act to pre-
vent the coinage from disappearing.
SI.aS India's Limit.
Foreign exchange circles in Wall
Street pointed out that with the pres
ent value Of the Indian rupee. silver
coins in India might suffer the same
fate should the world silver price ex-
ceed sl.08 cents an ounce. level
which would be surpassed should the
Treasury's silver program bring the
level up TO 81 ~ as many expect.
The Chinese problem, ii was ex-
planned. did not present the aspects
of an immediate crisis, since pressure
had been steadily increasing for some
time with the rise in silver prices.
The three great pressure spots de-
veloping from the silver program. 1t
was explained. were Mexico, China
and India, but the situation was said
to differ considerably in ths various
countries
Next las had its currency On a
managed paper currency basis, with
the objective of returning to gCid.
The same situation prevails m India.
But China has been on q definite ST.

While Mexico and India have had

Hoover explained that in many
large cities there are underworld fig
ures known as "fixers." who arrange
for the recovery of the stolen goods
and distribution of the rewards.
There are organized bands of Grim
inak." he said. which are engaged
In this profession of returning stolen
property. There are fences who have
regular schedules of commissions to
to be paid to the actual perpetrators Of
the robberies, and specified percent

the surrender or the mysterious find

The bureau. Hoover pointed out

property has been transported across

offense to take stolen property worth
5000 or mere in interstate COM

The jewels stolen in Miami were

where they were returned to Mrs.
Bell by Eugene Bryant. Miami chief
of detectives, with the explanation
that Bryant had found" them on
the floor of his automobile. Bryant
later confessed to Hoover's men that
he really took the jewels from a lock
box. the key to which had been turned
over to him by Noel Scaffa, New York
private detective. Amplifying this
statement on the witness stand at
Miami last week, Bryant said Scaffa
promised to divide SIS 900 among the
detective chief. the county prosecutor
and other officials.
Associates to Feel Drive.
In this connection Hoover said that
his men throughout the country are
under instructions to center attention
on those who assist. protect and ad-
wise major criminals in their Illegal
operations.
We are going after not only the
actual criminals. but 2fter their as
sociates, protectors and Illegal de-
tenders" the director stated. We
hope to make 1t Improbable as well
az dangerous for these persons to aid
the underworld. We have followed
this policy in the Urschel kidnapping
case, the Dillinger case and in other
instances, with the result that many
who harbored or otherwise aided
criminals are serving prison terms"
Hoover said a far-reaching drive

Morxenthau Urged to Peg Price n
sl.2s to Stop Gambling.
By the Associated Press.
Anxious to avoid rapid fluctuations
and accompanying speculation, the
Treasury stood pat on its silver price
yesterday and announced the week
end would see no change.
Apparently born of international
monetary disturbances. this temporary
policy of watchful waiting seemed to
have an effect Prom Fridays peak
Of 81 cents an ounce. world prices
slumped below the 1857 cents fixed
by the Government April "A for newly
mined domestic metal.
The Treasury announcement that
there would be no change in its silver
policy over the week end came after
Secretary Morgenthau and his coun-
sci. Herman Oliphant, went over the
situation with Senator McCsrran,
Democrat, Of Nevada, at the Secre-
tary's home.
The Nevadan, when questioned later
by newspaper men at the Capitol, said
MorRenthau had not "evtnced any
determined attitude rs to what he
intends to do"
Pesgisg at S1-,s Urged.
McCarran recommended to the
Treasury head. however. that the do
mestic price be pegged Immediately
to the statutory level Of 81 70 an ounce
and left there. He also proposed elm
nation Of the 50 per cent tax On sil-
yer trading profits in this country.
BY these steps. McCarrsn said the
speculative element would be removed
and silver would be practically re-
monetized' instead of left on the mar
ket to be bought and sold as any
other commodity.
McCarran said three alternative
steps were discussed at the Morgen-
thau conference.-the go on paying
the present price for domestic-mined
metal. move it up slowly as at first,
or Jump it Immediately to si.2s and
leave 1t there.
There we're some predictiOns-more
"guesses" than anything else-that
the Treasury probably would boost
the price to s129 shortly. If this
should happen. no one was prepared to
say whether this price would be ad-
hered to indefinitely regardless Of
how the world price reacted.
wsrId Attitude Studied.
Some thought domestic purchases
would continue to be made at that
figure as long as the world price did
not exceed it, but moved beyond In
event of q world increase. Others
thought it might be stabilized at $l.29
by an announcement that q higher
price would not be paid.
Senator Wheeler, Democrat, OF
Montana has q 16-to-1 free coinage
bill pending which would not attempt
stabilization until the price reached
about s2.1s.
Whatever the policy might be next
week, Treasury officials apparently
were looking forward to a conference
with q Mexican government repre-
sentative, Roberto Lopez assistant
secretary Of the Mexican department
of the treasury, who arrived here
today.
Lopez in q formal statement, said:
Il have come here to get o full
glimpse of the silver situation. Az an
important producer of the metal.
Mexico is as deeply interested rs this
country in recent Developments. For
this reason 1t would seem proper that
both countries should find q way to
cooperate In this matter"
Silver State Senators probably Will
be consulted again after this inter-
national parley.
