listening to the arguments Of the
other jurors, agreed to the verdict
for the defendant in order not to tie
up the jury.
The plaintiffs attorney then
moved for mistrial, but the court
refused and continued with the poll.
The next three jurors each said they
found for the defendant. Then the
judge came to the second woman on
the panel.
What is your verdict?"
For the plaintiff
The judge asked her If she did
not mean the defendant.
"No, for the plaintiff, and I would
like to say something to the court" "
This is not the time for that" !"
answered the judge.
The rest of the male jurors said
they were for the defendant. The
court still refused to grant the
motion of the plaintiffs attorney
for a mistrial.
The plaintiff appealed to the
higher court, which today reversed
the lower c0At'S decision with this
comment:
There can be no question of the
right of a juror, when poled, to
dissent from verdict to which he
has agreed in the jury room, and
when this happens the jury should
either be discharged or returned to
their room for further deliberation."

boarding Of stocks by wholesalers,

r. r. Guthrie, w. p. B. textiles

and wholesale levels were showing
marked increases inventories in some
instances were growing even more
rapidly. ...
I'VE fear that small retailers and
small manufacturers may be at a
competitive disadvantage in the fall
selling season because Of their rela-
tive inability to finance preseason
purchases" Mr.. Guthrie explained.
THE War Production Board is
prepared to scrutinize and investi-
gate cases in which the increase Of
stocks and commitments is out of
proportion to the increase of sales.
1t is also prepared to take such
administrative action as may be
necessary to allocate the supply of

erations of vessels under their con-
troll and the United States will man
age shipping under the American

Suggests Conversion
OF Area From Third
To Fourteenth Streets

Conversion of the central area
of the Mall from Sd to 14th
streets into a vast public auto
mobile parking lot during the
war was urged today by Repre-
sentative Dirksen, Republican, OF
Illinois.
He made the suggestion at a
meeting of the House District Com
mittee during consideration of a
bill he is sponsoring to give the
Public Utilities Commission control
of fees charged on parking lots and
in commercial garages.
Representative Dirksen estimated
that parking space could be pro-
vided in the Mall area for $4,000
vehicles.
Esthetes May Shrink.
The Mall area. Mr.. Dirksen said
should be converted into parking
space bounded by Fourteenth street
on the west, Third street on the
east, Jefferson drive on the north
and Madison drive on the south.
Those with an esthetic sense may
shrink from such a STEP" he de-
clared. It am as concerned as any
one with the beauty Of the city
but we are in a war and must make
sacrifices. The tract could be re-
zoned afterwards, but duting the
emergency it should be used. EN-
