Jurors Argue Far Into Night
Without Verdict Report Is

COURTROOM IS CROWDED
Judge Say lt Men Will Be Dis

Unable to Agree "o Word
Is Eent From Jury-Room.
IXS ANGELES. March T. After hav-
lnr- been out mora than 24 hours. It
appeared tonight that the Jury in the
second trial of Clarence 8. Darrow for
Jury bribery was hopelessly dead
locked. Some, however, expressed the
belief that a verdict would be reached
because of the almost unprecedented
length of time consumed by the delib
erations of the Jury without once re
porting to the court that they were
unable to reach a verdict.
Many rumors were In circulation to
day and tonight regarding the division
among the Jurors, the most commonly
accepted report being that they stood
ten to two for acquittal. Late tonight.
however. It was reported on what was
said to be authentic Information tnat
the Jury stood eight to four for con
viction.
Bailiff Brings "False Alarm."
Once this afternoon a bai:ifr not!
fled Judge Conley that the Jury wished
to report that they were unable to
agree. The officer was Instructed to
bring m the Jury, but he returnea
with the report that It was a "false
alarm" and that the 12 men still hoped
to reach an agreement.
Shortly before 6 o'clock Judge Con
lev 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 stipulated
time tomorrow should a report be made
In court that there was no chance for
a verdict.
"If they think they can agree
eventually," he added, "I will keep
them locked up for a week or until
they decide they cannot break the
deadlock."
Failure to Report Unusual.
The Judge said that In his 20 years
on the bench he had never known of a
Jury remaining out so long without
making some sort of report.
Throughout the entire day the court
room was thronged with people, most
ly friends or sympathizers of the de
fendant. Including many women, and
In the corridors of the courthouse
others interested In the outcome of the
trial camped on stairways or stood in
the halls, awaiting the return of the
12 men who were to decide the fate of
the noted labor lawyer.
Many In the courtroom went with
out luncheon rather than miss a pos
sibly sensational denouement of the
trial, and even after the judge, defend
ant and opposing counsel had left the
courthouse late this afternoon. 100 or
more remained either In the courtroom
or close at hand.
At 8 o'clock tonight Judge Conley
was informed that the Jury was still
deliberating and he did not go to the
courtroom. Adjournment then became
effective until 10 o'clock tomorrow
morning.
Big Crowd Is Present.
A crowd almost as large as that
which waited in vain for the verdict
during the day was present tonight.
Darrow and hiB lawyers and the pro
secution attorneys were also In at
tendance In the hope that a verdict
might have been reached. The throng
aispersea eiowiy arter It Decame evi
dent that there would be no verdict
tonight.
The Jury did not. however, take ad
vantage of Judge Conley's permission
to retire at 8 o'clock and the 12 men
were still arguing in the juryroom set
apart for them In the hall of records
after that hour had passed.
Innumerable ballots were taken to
day, according to the bailiffs. Darrow
said tonight that in the event of a
disagreement he would ask for an Im
mediate retrial. He said he doubted
whether one could be had In less than
two months, although the court had
the power to order another trial
earlier.
Members of the prosecution declined
to discuss the probable course of the
District Attorney in the event of a
mistrial, but It was strongly Intimated
that the prosecution would not ask for
another trial. 3 " 1
DYNAMITE CARGO EXPLODES
(Continued Krum Klret Pafre.)
and the shattering of practically all
the windows of the village.
At Curtis Bay and Brooklyn the
shattering force of the concussion was
felt and much damage in the way of
shattered windows resulted. In Can
ton and Hlghlandtown citizens rushed
into the streets, fearing the villages
were about to be destroyed. In sev
eral Instances persons were thrown to
the streets.
Brave Rescuers Lose Lives.
William F. Vandyke, of Baltimore,
captain of the wrecked tug Atlantic,
lost his life in heroically rushing to the
aid of the Imperilled British steamer
on the doomed Alum Chine and his
vain effort carried with him to death
many members of his crew.
When curling smoke from the bow of
xno Aium Chine warned members of
her crew, the stevedores engaged In
loading her and the crew of the Atlan
tic alongside that fire was raging in
the coal bunkers, there was instant
realization that flames soon would
reach the S00 tons of dynamite stored
In the Alum Chine's hold and the barge
roped beside her. Instantly there was
a rush to the ship's side. Fourteen
members of the crew and four of the
stevedores leaped over the rail and
tumbled pell mell Into the launch
Jerome that a moment before had taken
two firemen aboard the ill-fated ship.
All of the other members of the crew
and stevedores who could reach the
deck leaped for the decks of the Altan.
tic. The tug and launch, cutting
hawsers, were Fped away from the
scene of the Impending explosion.
Abandoned Sailors Call for Help.
The Atlantic had proceeded a few
hundred feet when two frantic figures
were seen clambering over the Alum
Chine's hold. They were sailors who
had been left behind. Reaching the
sides of the vessel they shouted piteous
Appeals for help.
Captain VanDyke. despite the know,
edge he must have' had that a hail of
death soon would be pouring over the
harbor, he heeded the call of the Im
perilled sailors. The engines were
stopped, the Atlantic wheeled and
rushed again to the fire-doomed ves
sel's side and the two sailors jumped
board.
Again the Atlantic wheeled. Too
late. Captain VasXk standing la the

pilothouse, gave orders that sent the
tug toward safety. The Atlantic's bos
had scarcelv turned toward open water,
when with a roar like the eruption of
a volcano, the death-laden vitals of
the Alum Chine exploded. The concus
sion hurled all before It. A dense pall
of smoke enveloped the waters and
when it cleared away the ship and
barge had disappeared and the Atlan
tic, a dismantled hulk, helpless on the
surface of the bay. had become a
human shambles. -
Vessel Torn to Shreds.
The .Alum Chine had been torn into
shreds, and boxes of dynamite mingled
with the flying fragments of steel and
timber filled the air. These fell on the
packed decks of the Atlantic, the dyna
mite exploding as It fell and sweep
ing them like a rain of shrapnel from
fieid guns.
Men's heads and limbs were torn
from th bodies. , Blood was every
where. People on ships and launches
watched dismembered bodies and limbs
flung about the Atlantic's decks.
Captain VanDyke gave his life for
his gallantry. With one arm severed,
his body was among those recovered by
the searchers and was one of the first
identified. With him died Joseph T.
Hood, a stevedore, who had been
rescued from the Alum Chine, and
Robert Dlggs, a member of his crew
who had stood beside him when the
explosion occurred.
Those who escaped death in the ex
plosion brought vivid but disconnected
accounts of the explosion when they
reached this city with the dead and
wounded.
Collier's Captain Eacapee-
Captain J. R. Thompson, captain of
the new collier Jason, which tomor
row was to have taken her trial trip,
had a narrow escape, when flying
boxes of dynamite crashed onto the
Jason's decks and exploded.
He had seen the smoke Issuing from
the Alum Chine's hold.
"I was warning my men of the dan
ger," Captain Thompson said tonight,
"because I knew that the ship was sure
to blow up' I already had gone be
low and instructed the chief engineer
to get up steam and get under head
way at once. He was thus engaged
while I ordered the anchor tip. I was
standing near a ventilator when I was
tossed into the air fully six or seven
feet. I turned two or three somer
saults. A railing kept me from going
overboard.
"In another instant a terrific shower
of pieces of iron of all sizes, some
pieces as large as my fist and others
aa big as my head, were flying down
from the air. I saw these pieces go
straight through our heavy plate. The
huge smokestacks of the collier were
riddled and were smashed almost flat
by the concussion.
Dynamite Ship Made of Iron.
"Around me on all sides were the
men who had been tossed Into the air
and thrown back. Many men were cut
and injured by the pieces of iron. Some
were killed instantly. The dynamite
ship was a Iron ship throughout, and
this made the damage to. our ship all
the greater. The- Chine was about 600
feet away, but the force of the ex
plosion was so great that our ship was
lifted almost out of the water.
"Our firemen, who were shoveling
coal, got the full force of the explosion
In their faces. Many of them were
burned. I had about 100 men of the
crew on board."
Immediately after the accident an
Inspection showed many holes in the
Jason's sides. Pieces of iron went
straight through her plates, which in
spots were three-quarters to seven
eighths inch thick.
How the fire started In the coal
bunkers of the Alum Chine still is a
mystery. Some have ascribed it to
spontaneous combustion.
Engineer Describes Escape.
J. G. Reese, of Cardiff, Wales, chief
engineer of the Alum Chine, gave a
graphic description of the scramble for
safety from the ship and the explosion
that followed. He said: "I was In the
engine-room when I heard a man on
deck cry, 'The ship is afire.' I looked
around and saw some of them coming
from the hole in the bow and made a
dash for the stern, realizing that a
dynamite explosion would follow.
didn't Jump. I fell Into the launch
Jerome, and sailor after sailor followed
me.
"When we had all we could carry
aboard, and no one seemed to he com
ing. we put on full speed. About five
minutes later, when we were about 200
feet away, the explosion came.
"It seemed like a great column of
fire, 50 feet high and 20 feet across,
topped by another column of black
smoke 200 feet higher, came up from
the sea, completely enveloping the ship.
It was several minutes before the
smoke cleared away and the sea be
came calm, but when it did there was
no sign of either the ship or the barge
that was alongside of it. Both seemed
to have disappeared completely."
Property Loss Exceeds (600,000.
Conservative estimates place the
actual property damage In excess of
$600,000. In addition, there are In
numerable minor losses which cannot
be estimated.
The chief losers are the owners of
the Alum Chine, which cost in the
neighborhood of $375,000.
On the Maryland Steel Company,
builders of the Collier Jason, devolves
the next greatest loss. While a thor
ough survey may result In finding
serious defects in her construction, a
superficial examination of the collier
Jason Indicates a damage of $11,000.
To this amount can be added the ex
pense of getting the collier ready for
her official test.
, The cargo of the Alum Chine has not
been entirely accounted for, but from
figures given out by the interested
shippers, this loss will entail nearly
$100,000. The dynamite on board was
valued at $70,000.
In an effort to give assistance to the
boats that are searching the waters for
the bodies of those killed by the ex
plosion and to ascertain the number of
casualties. Mayor Preston left for the
scene of the accident on a city tug late
today, after a special meeting of the
board of estimates.

Divorced From First Mates at
Time of Leaving1 City.
An elopement which occurred last
June has been revealed publicly as
the result of a streetcar accident In
Los Angeles In which Mrs. Leah A.
Greenfield ana Kex Richardson, for
merly of Portland, were victims. They
were both injured last Thursday and
are now In a hospital.
The woman In the case was employed
as a stenographer, first by W. A. Burke,
attorney, with offices in the Fenton
building, and later by the Richard
son Construction Company, of which
her companion was the bead. Her hus

wife and two children are said to be
living in Portland. He is a brother of
Attorney J. G. Richardson, with offices
In the Chamber of Commerce building.
Members of the family are extremely
reluctant to discuss the analr.
Office Friendship Ripens.
Acquaintance sprang up when Mrs.
Greenfield worked in an office across
the hall from Richardson's. Later she
became his stenographer and, as their
friendship ripened, the construction
business decayed. The smash came last
June and was followed quickly by the
flitting of the man and woman. Among
close friends it was given out that they
were going away to be married.
After their disappearance It devel
oped that Richardson had made a num
ber of deeds, purporting to be signed
jointly by himself and wife, but the
true Mrs. Richardson repudiated them,
and the second signature Is attributed
to Mrs. Greenfield. By correspondence
a deep tangle of the title to the prop
erty Involved was straightened out by
new deeds.
Reticence la Maintained.
While employed here Mrs. Greenfield
was reticent about her personal affairs,
and it Is believed that she came here
alone after the estrangement with her
husband in South Dakota. He wrote
here last Fall making inquiries for her,
but was informed at that time that
she had gone to Los Angeles.
While reluctant to discuss the inti
mate details of the affair, her former
employers gave her a high character
for efficiency and say tnat she gave
every indication of excellent rearing.
At one time she lived at 321 West Park
street, but the present occupants of the
house know nothing about her. She is
about 30 years of age.

MEDFORD, Or., March 7. (Special.)
-What Is said to be one of the most
brutal assaults on a woman in the his
tory of Jackson County was aired this

Peace Glenn O. Taylor, when Charles
Aitken. a 17-year-old boy of Rocrue
River, was arraigned on two charges.

sickness, and the like.
Witnesses Appear Incognito.
The last witnesses of the day, the
women of the tenderloin, talked in
whispers. All said that they had been
unable to make a living at reputable
callings.
"A. R. was a woman of 38. She
worked in a laundry at $4.60 a week
after her husband died and left her with
two children.
"You couldn t support a family on
that, could your Inquired O'Hara.
'No: I found out that I couldn't even
support myself on it. so I went wrong."
"How old were you then 7
"Twenty-eight."
"Where are the children now?" she
was asked.
'Well, you may be sure they are not
in Chicago."
"E. P. B. worked in a St. Louis shoe
factory from the age of 14 years to 18,
and never got more than $5 a week.
Then she answered the call of the un
derworld and had been there lor flve
years. Like the others, she placed her
earnings at about $25 a week.
Parents Are Dlaaatlsaed.
"R. XT." worked for $3 a week, bnt her
parents seemed dissatisfied with her
contributions to the general fund and
she found another way.
"R. R." wore the wedding ring, the
only piece of Jewelry about her.
"Married?" asked O'Hara.
The girl looked at the ring, hesitated,
and then answered: "No, Jt belonged
to my mother. It's the only thing of
hers I have."
Those close enough to hear the testi
mony were reminded of Mandel's tes
timony concerning girls going Into do
mestic service when "J. H." took the
stand.
"Why did you go wrongf asked Sen
ator Juul; "too little money?"
"Well, yes, that was it."
"What did you work at before tha.tr
"Domestic "servant."
"What were you paid?
"Two-fifty. I got up at 6 o'clock tn
the morning and worked until through,
generally until about 8 o'clock at night.
I had enough to eat, but I didn't work'
so hard. I got to running around with
fellows, and then I'd want to be decent
and would go back to work again, but It
was too hard. I began household work
after my parents died and I was 10
years old. I stuck to it till I was 17." .
COMBINE IS DEFENDED
MORALIZED COMPETITION"" IS
SAID TO REQTZERE TRUSTS.
Puh Usher 9' Association Official Says
Books Are Sold Below Cost for
Advertising- Purposes.
WASHINGTON, March 7. The neces.
slty of combinations in "this era of
moralized competition," was the bur
den of the argument made today be
fore the Supreme Court of the United
States by. John G. Milburn on behalf
of the American Publishers' Association
and the American Book Sellers' Asso
ciation, the so-called book trust.
The only way "moralized competition"
could be attained, Mr. Milburn told the
court, was to allow the existence of
trade combinations which could lay
down rules which would prevent the
improper things that marked the days
before the Standard Oil and tobacco
decisions. He contended this had been
the purpose of the combination of the
book publishers, magazine publishers
and the wholesale and retail book
sellers. He declared that department
stores threatened to ruin the book and
magazine -business unless the trade
organized to prevent it. These stores.
he contended, had seized upon books
and magazines for advertising pur
poses, reduced the price even below
cost. In order to impress the public
with the idea that everything they sold
was likewise reduced.
Wallace MacFarlane, representing a
New York department store seeking to
break up the combination, said the ob
ject of the combine was not to protect
the trade but to keep up the retail
price to the public, so that the publish
ers could reap more profit at whole
sale.
Chief Justice White Interrupted the
remarks of Mr. Milburn to ask how he
met the argument that when a pub
Usher or manufacturer once sold an
article at wholesale he had no prop
erty right in it, which permitted him
to say how the retailer should sell lt
Mr. Milburn replied that in the pres
ent case the books were copyrighted
and the copyright laws gave the pub
lisher the right to fix the conditions
under which his goods could be sold.
GRAFT INQUIRY ENDED
WHITMAX SATISFIED WITH
PRESENT POLICE PIAX.
Detective Burns Advocates citizens'
Board to Supplement Work In
Controlling Social Evil.
NEW YORK, March 7. The legisla
tive committee on remedial police leg
islation today concluded its public
hearings in its inquiry Into this city's
police conditions. It will submit a re
port to the Legislature embodying rec
ommendations for the regulation of the
local police department and of vice
conditions.
Three topics of Importance discussed
by witnesses at the hearings were ex
cise, disorderly resorts and gambling
as sources of police graft- Remedies
looking toward elimination of graft
will be emphasized in the committee's
report. Other recommendations that
will be- considered are the establish
ment of a board of public morals, em
ployment of women as police officers
in regulating the social evil. Sunday
opening of saloons during restricted
hours, official consideration of the dis
orderly resorts as a public nuisance,
regulation of the Mayor's power over
the police and Increase of the pay of
policemen.
District Attorney Whitman and Wil
liam J. Burns were the last witnesses
before the committee. Mr. Whitman
said the present plan of police con
trol was satisfactory on the whole.
"The whole police question Is one of
administration and legislation," he de
clared. Mr. Burns urged elimination of poll
tics from the police department, that
the commissioner's tenure of office
be during good behavior, and that of
ficials be removable only on charges.
He advocated centralizing responsibil
ity by giving each captain full power
over his own precinct, and suggested
a citizens' board to supplement police
efforts in regulating the social evil.

MEXICO CITY, March 7. With wire
communication Interrupted between the
capital and the rebel Infested centers
of Coahuila and Sonora, the only in
formation concerning conditions there
emanate from government sources.
These make it appear tonight that a
situation has developed which will tax
the utmost resources of the new ad
ministration. Federal troops In increasing num
bers are being pushed into the district
about Monclova in Coahuila, the cen
ter of the Carranzaista activities, while
other forces are moving into Sonora,
where ex-Governor Maytorena's efforts
are said to be directed toward inciting
the Indians to rebellion.
Hope of Agreement Abandoned.
Eighteen hundred additional troops
left here tonight for San Luis Potosl,
where they will co-operate with the
force of General Trucy Aubert, who is
expected to reach Monclova before
morning.
Hope that the government would be
able to effect a peace agreement with
Carranza appears to have been aban
doned and all resources of the war de
partment are to be employed in crush

It is reported, but without confirma

himself at the disposition of the gov

are on their way to Chihuahua, where
they will be placed In Orozco's com

The attitude of Emillano Zapata to

RECOGNITION TO BE OPPOSED
Sonorana to Ask That United States
Withhold Action in Mexico.
TUCSON, Ariz., March 7. By the fact
that Sonora has revolted from the
present provisional government of
Mexico and Its Congress repudiated the
Huerta administration, ex-Governor
Maytorena hopes to convince the
United States that President Huerta is
not in control of Mexico and recogni
tion of his administration therefore
should be withheld.
Maytorena denied here that the state
Congress had awaited the inauguration
of President Wilson before breaking
with the Huerta administration and
declared the two occurrences merely
incidental.
According to Maytorena an army of
10,000 men is mobilizing and he expects
thorn to be put into the field within the
immediate future. The only federal
troops now in Sonora are the rural
police, under Colonel Kosterlltzky, who
Is operating his men as guards along
the Southern Paciflo Railway below
Nograles, Ariz. No clashes between
them and the Constitutlonallstas have
been reported.
Responsibility for the proclamation
which appeared In Sonora newspapers
before Madero's death, calling upon
loyal Sonora citizens to defy Huerta,
Is denied by Maytorena.
