Itepeat Performance.
NKW YORK. March 17.-After 18
hours devoted to sawing two of the
-v.-n-elghths inch steel bars of his cell
with improvised saws made of nicked
table knives, Francis Louis Boissanade
a lion tamer, who was set to the task
of making an official attempt to escape
rrom the Ellis island detention pen by
Immigration Commissioner Watehorn
gave up the attempt tonight. '
Rolssanade escaped from the same cell
last August with the connivance. Com
missioner Watehorn believes, of one or
more of the keepers. Upon being appre
hended in San Francisco a few days ago
he declared that no one had. assisted
him. and that it was by sawing the
bars of his' cell for 13V4 hours with table
.knives that he had gained freedom.
- It was to prove. If possible, the truth
of this assertion that Boissanade was
made to undergo the test In which he
has failed. Had he succeeded Commis

OREGOXIAX, THURSDAY,
with its representatives abroad and. while
the government continues to insist that
it cannot surrender to its rebellious serv
ants, it is apparent that the measures
thus far taken to suppress the strike have
been ineffective. Threats of suspension
and dismissal have served only to bring
the employes into closer union. Reserve
operators summoned from the country
districts refuse to work. The military
telegraphers, through whom it was ex
pected to re-establish wire communica
tion, were almost heipless before the dam
aged switchboards and instruments which
the strikers left behind. Besides, it is
now realized that it is Impossible to re
place thousands of trained men in a mo
ment. .
It was intimated tonight that the
Government would find a way out of
the difficulty by putting M. Barthou.
minister of public works, posts and
telegraphs, in charge of negotiations
with the strikers. Behind him M.
Simyan, the undersecretary, could, for
the present, efface himself. With any
one except M. Simyan to deal with it
is believed the strikers, the vast ma-

grievances are trival compared with
the interests that are suffering.
There appears to be no danger of
violence, unless the labor organizations
attempt demonstrations tomorrow

WASHINGTON. March 17.-AlthougU
more than a week has elapsed since the

Lieutenant Leonard Furlongs detach
ment of Philippine Constabulary, no word
of the engagement has reached the War
Department. Officials are disposed to
think that the Bordong, mentioned in the
Manila dispatch as the place where the
fight resulted, refers perhaps to the Bul
doon region, which for a time has been
notoriously unsettled and where a bad
element unfriendly to the Americans ex
isted and found it a safe retreat
What is known as the Lake Lanao of
Mindanao contained, according to the
Philippine Commission's report of 1907
the most turbulent Moro element in the
island: and in spite of frequent punish
ment meted out by the constabulary to
many recalcitrant Dattos and other fol
lowers, there still were a number of out
laws at large on the east side of the lake

Class rates from the Missouri River to
Denver and from Denver to common

COOPER JURY MAY
IT FIND VERDICT
Many Indications That Case Is
Likely to Result in Mistrial,
. Say Court Officers.
JURORS RECEIVE CHARGE
Judge Hart Adjourns Court
Till Day Passes After Reading
Three-Hour Charge Long De
liberation Is Expected.
NASHVILLE, Tenn.. March 17. With
indications that the jury late tonight
was still far from an agreement, the
opinion began to prevail that a mistrial
would be the termination of the fa
mous case against Colonel D? B and
Robin J. Cooper and John Sharpe,
charged with having murdered ex-Senator
Carmack.
Judge Hart evidently did not expect
I f ear,y verdict, for at 4 o'clock he ad
1 journed court and started for his coun-
"'u. jing ne would not return
to receive a verdict until tomorrow.'
Expect Long Deliberation.
Judge Hart began bis charge to the
jury at 9:30 and finished at 11-25
o clock. The charge consisted of 62
typewritten pages, 400 words to the
page. Judge Hart has declared his in
tention of holding the jury together for
a week or two if necessary to get a
verdict. '
The jury returned to its room at 2
P. M., after having gone to lunch. There
were no indications that a verdict
would be reached verv soon.
At 3:05 P. M. the deputies on guard
outside the jury room reported that
the jurors in tile Cooper case were en
gaged in a vigorous argument
Reading of Charge.
The stenographers had worked all night
on Judge Hart's charge, which contained
over 20.000 words. Lawyers say it is the
most comprehensive and clear charge
ever delivered In a Tennessee court and
includes in the theories of state and
defense a digest of the testimony of
every witness who testified on either side.
When the Judge began to read the court
room was' packed to the four walls.
"The law makers thn in.ll. . 1.
j ... i witness
or the law. remarked Judge Hart, "so I
will now take the witness stand and give
my testimony."
He left the bench, walked around to
the chair which has been the center of
attraction for two months, and began to
read. Sheriff Borum had a dozen depu
ties scattered through the room and in
addition a detail of 10 uniformed patrol
men were stationed around the bar.
"I do not anticipate any demonstra
tion, he said, "but I will run no risk
of having one at the eleventh hour."
After reading the indictment. Judge
Hart said:
"While this Indictment contains but one
charge upon Its face in contemplation of
law. it embraces four distinct felonies:
'Murder in the first degree; murder in
the second degree: voluntary manslaugh
ter and involuntary manslaughter. With
out reference at present to the facts of
this particular case, I shall now explain
to you what in law It takes to constitute
each of these different offenses."
Judge Defines Crimes.
Judge Hart then at length defined the
various felonies mentioned. .
'Previous threats by the deceased
against the defendant, or acts of hos
tility toward him, or violent abuse of
him, how violent soever it may have
been, or trespasses upon his property "
continued Judge Hart, "is not such
provocation as the law recognizes as
sufficient to reduce an unlawful kill
ing to manslaughter, if the killing was
done at such time as had lapsed after
these things had been done as a rea
sonable person would have regained
self-control, and a killing under these
circumstances would be deemed by the
law malicious, and not the result of
provocation, and therefore murder. In
other words, if there had been suf
ficient time for the passion to cool, the
provocation will not mitigate a subse
quent killing to manslaughter. The
question is not wlieh.tr the blow was
actually struck in the continuance of
passion, but whether there had been a
