Unable to Reach Verdict In Calhoun Cat at San Francisco. San Francisco, June 21. Terminat ing in a disagreement of the jury, with ten men determined on acquittal and two steadfastly resolved upon convic tion, the trial of Patrick Calhoun, pres ident of the United Railroads, came to an end at 12 o'ebek yesterday. Five month and a week had elapsed since the wealthy streetcar magnate made hi drat appearance in court to answer to the charge of offering a bribe of $4,000 to a supervisor to obtain a privi lege for hi corporation, and a period of 24 hour had been consumed in fruit less deliberation. Not until each juror had pronounced as hopeless the prospect of a verdict was the order for their liberation made by Judge William P. Lawlor. Prose cution and defense gave assent to the discharge and the proceeding ended within 15 minutes. After ordering the discharge of the jury Judge Lawlor drew his chair to the edge of the platform nearest the jury box and addressed to the 12 men some informal remarks severely criti cizing the I iw and usage that made possible the expenditure of three months in the empanel of a jury and congratulating and thanking them up on their worth as citizen. He declared the courts were utterly helpless to prevent such occurrences and recommended that the legislature be influenced by the people to make al teration in the law that governed court procedure in the empaneiment of juror. Under the orders of the court the attorney will be expected to fix date lor another trial upon the same indictment at thia morning' session of court. l am ready to try this case again and I will go ahead tomorrow if neces sary," said Mr. Heney an hour after the adjournment. In a long statement issued by Mr.' Calhoun last night he said: "Of course I am disappointed at the failure of the jury to acquit me of un biased charges that have been brought against me. I should have liked my vindication by the jury to bave been absolute." FIFTEEN ARE DEAD. PORTLAND MARKETS. $1.30; Wheat Bluestem milling, club, $1.20; valley. $1.17.

Bad Collision on Trolley Road Injure Twenty-five Others. Chesterton, Ind., June 21. Fifteen are dead and 25 injured as a result of a wreck on the South Shore Electric rail way, two and a half miles west of here last night. Nine bodies have been re covered and more are expected to be found in the wreckage in the tops of the wrecked cars. A westbound car was coming at high speed down a long hill and at the foot met an eastbound car also going at a terrific speed. It is estimated that at least seven bodies are still under the debris. The motorman on the westbound car, who was killed, was pinned between the two vestibules of the cars and .could not be plainly seen and his position wa such as to make escape impossible. Most of the passengers on the east bound car were returning from the Crown Point automobile races. It is believed that the motorman of the east bound car must have seen the onrusbing west bound car, as he bad thrown off his power and brought the car to a standstill before being struck. WORK TO BE RUSHED. Construction to Start Within 30 Day on Deschutes Road. Portland, June 21. Barring unex pected delays in securing a continuous right of way, bids for the construction of the Deschutes line into Central Ore gon will be asked by Harriman within 30 days. The only obstacle that pre vents the immediate construction of the Central Oregon road is the adjust ment of right of way questions with power companies operating on the Deschutes river. The railroad com pany haa alrea dyjsecured rights of way to 70 per cent of the 120 miles to be traversed by the proposed road. An early and satisfactory adjustment of pending rights of way problems cover ing the remainder of the distance ia believed more than probable without resorting to condemnation proceedings in the courts. Ship Chinese as Freight. Melbourne, June 21. Correspond ence which recently fell into the hands of the minister for external affairs dis closed the existence of an organized system for the smuggling of Chinese into the commonwealth. It is clesr that many vessels trading with the East have engaged in what appears to have been a very lucrative traffic, bringing in Asiatics in batches of from 10 to 80. The business has been in the hands of a powerful Chinese syndicate, with representatives in Australia and at Hongkong and other Eastern porta. Heavy Gold Output Expected. Seattle, June 21.
