BOOTH JURY UNABLE
TO REACH AGREEMENT
Locked Up at Midnight After Balloting
Ten Hours Ask Additional Instruc

Acquittal Disagreement and Second
Trial Is Probable.
RUMMERS M Y
After deliberating mors than nlns
hours the Jury In the Booth-Blngloton
conspiracy cage was unaklo to decide
upon a verdict at midnight and waa
locked up for the night.
Judge Wolverton remained In bis
chambers In the federal building until
12 o'clock to be on hand should an
agreement be reached during the even
ing. When midnight came the court
gave orders that the 13 men should be
locked up for the night and the judge
went to lils home.
In case the jury reaches a verdict
early this morning or during the dajf
Judge Wolverton m all probability will
open court In order that the final decis
ion may be reud and made public. This
is not usually done on Sundays except
In the United States uuuns.
Opinions as to the verdlox of the Jury
about the federal building differ wide
ly. Many believe that the length of
time thnt the Jurymen have had the case
under consideration would go to Indi
cate, everything considered, that there
Is very liktdy to be. a disagreement.
Others believe, however, that there will
be an acquittal and mora particularly
In the verdict of Robert A. Booth.
Malarkey With Els Pajamas.
There was quite a gathering of wo
men In the court room until midnight.
They were relatives and friends of the
three defendants. James Henry Booth.
Jtobert A. Booth and T. 10. Klngluton all
least one member of the Jury who was
votlns for a verdict of guilty.
According to the questions put to
the court the Jury wanted to Know
whether a man would be violating a
conscientious scruple by changing his
mind and his vote after having made
up the one and cast the other a certain
way.
OItm Turthn Instructions.
' The court Instructed the Jury that
where a reasonable doubt exlstod the
proper course for a Juror to follow
would bo to vote for an acquittal. He
also said that when any person was
put on trial he was supposed to be In
nocent until he had been proven guilty
and that It was for the Jurors them
selves. 1ud(rlng by the evidence given
them, to determine whether the de
fendants were guilty of the crime
charged In the indictment or innocent
of 1L
The Jury then returned to the Jury
room for further balloting, the court
announcing that it would remain In
waiting until midnight and that if By
that time no verdict had been reached
the Jury would be locked up for the
night.
The charge to the Jury delivered by
Judge Wolverton was a most corapre
lienalve document. He began Its deliv
ery Immediately after the close of Mr.
Becker's address at the afternoon ses
ssmn and It was 2:40 o'clock before the
case was given Into the hands of the
Jury.
The court went Into trie nlstorv or tne

were oi.tlmlut lo an to the outcome. ,., ,., ,!. ..hirh fh o-nvnrnmBnt
But when midnight came and no re-
thu system under which the government

imrt from the Jury there was a look of : ,,,., ,,u
disappointment on many of the faces
Dan Malnrkey was there with a suit
of silk pajamas under his clothes. He
had been called from his bed eurly In
the evening when the Jurymen asked
the court for further Instructions.
The case went to the Jury at 2:80
o'clock yesterday afternoon.
A littio after 10 o'clock the Jurymen
nnnounced to the court that they de
sired special Instructions regarding
some particular point of the case and
Judge Wolverton came onto the bench.
After the Jury reached the coyrtroom
It was apparent from their expressions
thnt the statements of different mem
bers that the majority were for acquit
tal, but were being held in session by at
much length.
He then took up the case at bar and
instructed tho jury carefully regarding
Its consideration of the testimony and
the arguments of the counsel.
The Jury retired Immediately after
Judge Wolverton had closed his charge
and tooK up th balloting. This was
continued until dinner time, and taken
up after the evening rneal had been
served.
Began to Bin sr.
At 8 o'clock the fact that there was
a serious disagreement was made known
to the waiting people In the courtroom
bv the strains of "In the Sweet Bye and
Bye" floating through the transom of
the Juryroom.

Flouring Company 'at North

Over Fanners.
(Special Plspatrb to The Journal.)
Baker City, Or., Aug. 1 That the
ranchers In some portions of the North
1'owder country are to suffer the loss
of water at this Important time of the
year 1b evident If the order goes Into
effect that was made last night by the
North Bowder M. & W. company, which
owns and operates the flouring mill at
that station.
The companv' has prior water rights
but In the past has had a surplus of
water. It was decided to divide the
water with ranchers who would pivt
land In cultivation, the division to con
tinue until any time It was found neces
sary to have the whole supply for min
ing purposes. Crous have been planted
and the desert soil responded admirably
to ine liners errort.s.
Now. however, the water surmlv Is
snort and the milling company was
forced yesterday to order all water be
longing to their water right to be
turned Into the canal that feeds the
mill supply.

those who have spent their time and
work In -cultivating lands that were wa
tered bv the mill s surnlus will Drob-
ably be hard. According to the opinion
of many, however, there waa nothing
else for the mill to do In order to pro
tect Its business.

London. Aug. 1. For want of white
mice, H lives were risked on board the
British submarine A9, when leaking pe
trol fumes filled the little craft during
the naval maneuvers In the English
channel. This view is held bv the 1ack-
les of the submurino service, who looked
upon tlio while mice, formerly carried
in every British Hubmarine, as some
thing moro than mascots.
Because they are extremely sensitive
to petrol lunies, tlio little creatures
aero ordered to be carried in every suff-
marlno as a safeguard against such mis-
naps as that or submarine Av.
A few eeks before the accident, tho
admiralty had withdrawn the mice, on
the pretext that their warning squeaks
could very easily be drownei by the
rattle of the engines.
A met hanlual device was promised to
take their place, but meanwhile nothing
was tiono until tne asphyxiation or i
men on board the A9 came as a strong
argument In favor of the despised mice
being better than nothing.

dragon. The peasants are Irvine to en

his powers.
Last February '.here waa a fall of
"dark colored rain," which "shook the
earth to Its foundations." According to
the peasants' story, the dragon ap
