Chapman, who was Indicted for man slaughter for runnng over and killing Harry Schmitzer, an 8-year-old boy, with his automobile, disagreed last, night, six being for conviction and six for acquittal. The Jury was discharged by Judge Kavanaugh. The Jury re tired shortly before noon and entered the courtroom only once, for instruc tion on a minor point. At 10:45 o'clock the disagreement was reported. Chapman is the son of a well-to-do timber dealer of this city. A modified verdict could have been allowed, if the attorneys in the case had arranged for it at the time of the trial, but as this was not done, the Jury had only the alternative of freeing Chapman, or finding him guilty of manslaughter. In Instructing the Jury. Judge Kava naugh said that the law required that more care be taken in the case of a child than that of a grown person. He also said that carelessness could not be laid to the boy on account of his extreme youth. The accident happened at First and Arthur streets, December 15. Mr. Chap man and Miss Mabel O'Shea were in the machine at the time aad they were the only witnesses for the defense. Both testified that the machine was go ing only at the rate of about 15 miles an hour, but other witnesses testified that he went a. block after the ma chine struck the child, and that he returned when Miss O'Shea, -who had fainted at the time of the accident, gave her consent. In making his address to the Jury, Deputy District Attorney Collier said that unless a verdict of guilty were returned, the law making it manslaugh ter for killing a person by funning him down In an automobile In a reck less way, might as well be stricken from the statute books. He made a strong appeal on behalf of humanity for a verdict of guilty. Attorney Piatt, who represented Chap man, insisted that the accident was un avoidable, and that Chapman was In no way to blame.

Old Theories vs. Modem Methods THE OLD WAY The following editorial appeared In the Omaha, Neb.. "World Her ald," Feb. 9, 1911: "The unfortunate victim of alco holic drink Is treated in this age much aa the poor classes were In the time when men were impris oned for debt. In those days finan cial disability was dealt with as a moral crime, and the Tlctim there of suffered odium aa well as mis fortune. As time went on the world became convinced that the insolvent man was beins; made worse by the treatment instead of being given a chance for recovery, and imprisonment for debt waa abolished. "There are indications that we are coming to the same way of treating the victims of alcohol in modern times that is, as a patient Instead of a criminal. In Chicago a plan is under way to establish a . hospital for the treatment of drunkards, where they can have the benefit of the most advanced scientific treatment, auch as Is given to sufferers from other dis eases. As it is now, the wretched drunk ard gets no consideration from the public except to be cursed and thrown into JaM, and then lib erated to get drunk again. "The drunkard is a victim of disease, as much as the consump tive, and his case is curable like that of the consumptive. The way to cure It and confer great benefit on society.

THE NEW WAY The old methods of treating alcoholism or the drink habit is only resorted to by those who have not taken the trouble to investi gate the modern method It has been demonstrated and provon beyond all question that al coholism can bo perfectly cured In. three days' time and that the old method of treating it as a disease was little in advance of the "put ting them in Jail" treatment. Dr. B. E. Neal, a recognized au thority on the treatment of alco holism, in hla statement to physi cians, says: "I have devoted a great many years to study of Inebriety, ana based upon the result of my theo retical study and practical, clinical Investigation. I claim alcoholism Is not a disease, but a poisoning, and that by a treatment of neutraliza tion and elimination, alcoholic pa tients can be restored to a normal condition, so far as the effects of alcohol are concerned, IN THREE DAYS' TIME. I do not claim that the prolonged and excessive use of alcohol will not cause pathological changes In various organs, but I do claim that fully ninety per cent of drinking men are comparatively healthy, and that when the poison ous effect of alcohol is neutralized and perfect elimination secured, they will in all probability live Just as long and as comfortably as men who have not drunk to excess."
