DISAGREEMENT IS PREDICTED Questions by Men on Panel Base Popular Forecast. DEFENSE DOES NOT ARGUE Maximum Penalty for Offense Is $1000 Fine and Two Years Im prisonmentJudge in Charge Defines Insolvency. , Evidently unable to agree after 11 hours' deliberation, the Jury considering the case of "Walter H. Moore, ex-president of the Oregon Trust & Savings Bank, was locked up at 10:45 o'clock last night. Consideration of the evidence will be resumed this morning unless the Jury Is already certain of a deadlock and so reports to the court after breakfast. Predictions of the outcome are various, that the Jury will "hang" being the opinion of many who followed the trial from the beginning. A popular forecast In the corridors of the Courthouse yesterday was that the Jury would stand 10 to 2 or 9 to 3 for conviction. Disagreement Signs Seen. As early in the afternoon as 5 o'clock Indications were manifest that a dis agreement was Imminent. Bailiff Stewart was called to the door of the Jury room at this hour by one of the dozen, who asked that his wife be notified that he did not expect to be home that night. Later Juror Pettlt asked to have canceled by phone an engagement which be had made for late in the evening. - By 6 o'clock nearly all the jurors had telephoned their homes through the bailiff informing their families -that there was no hope of their sleeping under their own roofs last night. Between 6 and 7 o'clock they dined. Then they returned to thrash out points over which there was a difference of opinion. Bets on Result Made. Several small bets were noted as hav ing been made among court spectators as to the outcome of the case. One wager was made early in the day that the Jury would bring in a verdict of not guilty. Several bet that if the Jury did not dis agree it would acquit and odds were taken at 2 to 1 that an acquittal would not be brought in. The closing scenes of the trial brought cnit a large crowd. That Attorneys Mc Ginn and Fulton did not address the jury was a disappointment to many of the spectators who had come to the courtroom solely to hear the spellbinders. It had been supposed that the entire morning and part of the afternoon would be given over . to oratory and that the case would not go to the Jury until late in the day. But the jury Tetired and CConcluded on Pace 17.) Deaths of Sister in Spokane, Sister in New Jersey and Father-In-La w at Residence, Remarkable. LOS 'ANGELES. Cal.. March 31. (Special.) The death of Mrs. Theodore Peterson at Spokane, Wash., yesterday, news of which was telegraphed to her brother, Joseph J.

SCORE IS 2 TO 2 AT CLOSE Steen Pitches Entire Game for Portland. SEALS USE TWO TW1RLERS Stiller Relieve Ames, Whose Offer lngs Are Easy for Beavers Port land Weak In Base Running and Inside Battery Tactics. T W. J. PETRA1N. OAKLAND, Cal.. March 31. (Special.) McCredie's Beavers and "Kid" Mohier's Seals traveled across the bay today and formally opened the baseball season in Oakland by playing a 16-inning drawn battle. Neither team could score more than two runs and the deadlock was finally ended by the umpire declaring darkness was sufficiently in evidence to mar the progress of the contest, and the tired players wended their way to the trains back to San Francisco. To Bill Steen, McCredie's new importa tion, belongs all the benefit that can be squeexed from a drawn engagement, for Sill pitched the entire game. Kid Mohler saw fit to utilize two pitchers In the effort to enhance San Francisco's chances, for the Beaver batsmen were taking altogether too kindly to the offer ings of Rex Ames, who opposed Portland in the start. Prank Miller was the Seal relief twirl er. and he pitched a good, steady game. Portland should have scored on him several times, but pulled off some bum base running stunts and failed to try any inside batting tactics, which might have negotiated a score. Steen Displays Class. Steen' s work -not only deserved great credit, but show that he is a finished pitcher and a man who is going to help the Portland club's chances considerably during the season. He also succeeded in hitting the ball safely on two occa sions, but was robbed of a two-base hit because Umpire Hilderbrand, at the call of the Seal forces, declared Bill out for ' not touching first base when he opened the ninth inning with a drive to the left field fence. Time after time the Portland bunch had men on third base with one man ' or two men out and on one occasion had the bases full with none out, but the "efforts of the succeeding batsmen proved futile. With the bases crammed, Casey came to bat. He had blngled twice on his first two trips up and on this oc casion a circus stunt robbed him of a hit and resulted in a double play. Mun dorff was the robber who speared Casey's line-hit and turned the play into a double, killing off Portland's chance. Another time 'Melcholr leaped Into the air and pulled down Fisher's terrific drive cut ting off two possible scores for the hit was a good two-bagger If it had landed safe, and two runners were waiting the chance to score. Five Innings Are Scoreless. For Ave Innings it was a scoreless game, but in the sixth Portland put over the first run of the game, and corres pondingly the first run of the season for the team Olson was the first Portlander to tally. He reached first by beating out a bunt and took second when Kid Mohler made a grandstand stop and throw to first off Casey's hard-hit grounder. McCredie hit to Ames and was an easy out without advancing Olson, but Buddy Ryan broke into the base hit column with a corking drive to the left veldt, on . which Olson trotted gayly across the rubber. Portland scored again In the seventh. Bpeas led oft by beating a bunt. Ort attempted a sacrifice, -but Mohler muffed Ames' throw and both runners were safe. Steen hit to Ames who forced &peas at third, Ort advancing to second. With two men on the bases Netzel and Olson rapped out safe hits in succession and ' yet Portland got only one run. Steen should have scored on the second hit, ' but was held fast to third by the coacher. In the last half of the seventh San Francisco tied up the score. Tommy Tennant, the first man up, picked one off his shoestrings and laced it over the right-field fence for the first home run of the season. Steen then fanned. Griffin and McHale popped a fly to Ort. Claude Berry again got the two-base hit habit, and Harry McArdle followed suit with another. In which Berry scored. Steen settled at that, .and no more vuns were registered. Supreme Judge Opens Game. Supreme Judge H. A. Melvin pitched the first ball at the opening at Oak land, which occasion was enhanced by the presence of President Graham, Magnates J. Cal Ewing, Frank M. Ish. Mike Fisher, Ed Walters, President Herman, of the State Ieague, and Mor ris R- O'Neil. president of the West ern League. Over 3000 persons were present, which, for an opening crowd at Oakland, surpasses even the San Francisco magnates. . Manager McCredie announces that he will try and win tomorrow's game with . either Eugene C. Rapp or Tom Seaton on the mound, while Kid Mohler will likely send Ralph Willis against Port land. For the first time since the Installa tion of the double umpire system in the Pacific Coast League the action of one of the officials reversing a decision by the other was seen. In the tenth in ning Miller was at bat and swung on one of Steen's offerings, which was caffed a ball by VanHaltren. Captain Casey protested to Umpire Hlldebrand and the latter said It was a strike, and Van Haltren acceded to the decision. Manager McCredie played a great game in right field, having several hard chances In addition to throwing out two men at the plate. Big Mac has been sick most of the time since he arrived in San Fran cisco and Casey has tried to get him to Concluded on Page &.) 1J lE3 io7.o I.
