One Report Is That Ten are For

Eight Fight for Conviction
LOS ANGELES, March 7. After
having been out more than 24 hours,
it appeared tonight that the jury in
the second trial of Clarence S. Dar
row for jury bribery was hopelessly
deadlocked. Some, however, expres
ed the belief that a verdict would be
reached because of the almost unpre
cedented length of time consumed by
the deliberations of the jury without
once reporting to the court that they
were unable to reach a verdict.
Many rumors were in circulation to
day and tonight regarding the divis
ion among the jurors, the most com
monly accepted report being that
they stood ten to two for acquittal.
Late tonight, however, it was report
ed on what was said to be authentic
information that the jury stood eight
to four for conviction.
Once this afternoon a bailiff noti
fied Judge Conley that the jury wish
ed to report that they were unable to
agree. The officer was instructed to
bring in the jury, but he returned
with the report that it was a "false
Clarence S. Darrow, Tamous labor
lawyer whose fate rests with jury.
alarm" and that the 12 men still hop
ed to reach an agreement.
Shortly before 5 o'clock Judge Con
ley declared a recess until 10 o'clock
tomorrow morning. Word also was
sent to the jurors at that time that
they could retire for the night at 8
o'clock if no verdict had been arrived
at then.
Judge Conley declared .that he
would discharge the jury at the stip
ulated time tomorrow should a re
port be made in court that there was
no chance for a verdict.
"If fney think they can agree even
tually," he added, "I will keep them
locked up for a week or until they
decide they cannot break the deadlock."

BRITISH STEAMER ALUM CHINE
WRECKED IN BALTIMORE
HARBOR
3 MEN ARE KILLED ON U.S. COLLIER
Shock Felt at Philadelphia Navy-Yard
in Reading, Penn., Nearly
100 Miles
Away
BALTIMORE, March 7. An explo
sion of dynamite, . far-reaching and
distastrous in its results, occurred in
the lower harbor of Baltimore this
morning, when more taan 300 tons
of tae explosive, being loaded on
board the British Steamer Alumm
Chine, blew up.
The known dead number 13 and
latest estimates place the total mor
tality at 50 and the injured at 50.'
Forty stevedores are still unaccount
ed for.
Four of the dead belonged to the
crew of tae Alum Chine, tiiree were
on board tne united States collier
Jason, lying alongside, and six aboard
the tug Atlantic.
Twenty-nine men on the collier
and the greater part of the crew of
the Alum Chine were injured. Ten
of those injured aboard the collier
Jason were said to be mortally hurt.
The tug was practically demolished.
Pitiful scenes were enacted on
Broadway wharf when the tug bear
ing the dead and injured arrived
there. Hundreds of women and
children whose husbands and fathers
work on the water, crying and wring
ing their hands, begged to be allow
ed to see if any of their men folk
were among the victims. Nearly 50
of the injured were landed here. Some
of these were able to walk to their
homes unassisted, but the bulk of
them were taken to hospitals at Spar
row's Point.
Up to tonight no definite
figures of the number of casualities
could be ascertained but it was said
that at least 50 men had been killed
and about as many more injured.
Some of the latter were expected to
die.
The force of the explosion swept
away the upper works of the United
States naval collier Jason, killing
three men and injuring 29 others.
Tne Jason was about 700 feet away
at the time. She had just been com
pleted by the Mlaryland Steel Com
pany and was soon to have had gov
ernment trial trip.
The explosion was remarkable for
the great distance the shock of the
blast was felt. At Coatesville, Pa.,
the windows of the High School rat
tled. The shock was felt at the Phil
adelphia navy yard in Reading, Pa.,
nearly 100 miles ffom Baltimore, in
a number of cities in Southeastern
Pennsylvania and in New Jersey as
far as Atlantic City. In many towns
the tremor was so distinct as to cause
people to believe an earthquake had
occurred.
The shock interrupted the proceed
ings of the lower house of the Dele
ware Legislature at -Dover, the Speak
er remarking:
"That must have been an earth
quake." The Munson Steammship Company
of New York, agents for the Alum
Chine,- were wired by their agents
here that the ship was nowhere in
sight after the explosion.
The ship, a small tramp of 1767
tons gross burden, was owned by the
Alum Chine Steamship Company, of
Cardiff, Wales. She left New York
for Baltimore February 26, arriving
jat Colon with a load of dynamite to
be used for governmment work on
the Panama Canal.

Councilman John 'Albright, who
