SPEIIDS DAY
III PORTLAHD
S. G. Cosgrove, Governor-
Elect of . Washington, Is
Here on Way South.
S. O. Cosgrove, goyernor-elect of Wash
ington, arrived In Portland over tne
Northern Pacific this morning and was
taken tit- carriage to St, Vincent' hos
nitai. whar ha will soend the day. and
If strong enough, will leave tonight over
the soutnern tactile tor i-aso modi,
Cal.- -Although Mr. Cosgrove Is so ill
that he could scarcely be removea to
the watting carriage, Mrs. Cosgrove and
l.r. H. K. Jteyior or waiia vrtuiu, jnr.
Coagrove's phyelclaa, believe that he
will be ante to ma tne rest oi tne
trip -to the coutn ln satety ana win re
gain his health there.
Tha arrangements for Mr, Cosgrove's
care In Portland were looked after by
General Passenger Agent McMurray of
the Southern Pacific, who had a car
riage in waiting and who has instruct
ed agents along the' route between Port
land and California to take particular
care to see that Mr. Cosirrove and- his
party want for nothing at the various
junction points along the line. The
train employes have also been instruct
ed to rendar everv service joosslble.
When the Cosgrove party, including
Mr. and Mrs. Cositrove and Dr. and Mrs.
kavlor. reached the Union depot this
morning, the governor-elect was assist
ed to a carrtaae and taken to St. Vin
cent's. It was stated at the hospital
at noon today that hi had slept all
morning and would probably he suffici
ently recupera tea to ieave ior cauior
nia at 7:4o this evening.
Governor Cosgrove was stricken with
Brlght's disease some weeks ago, and It
was feared that he would never live to
take his oath of office. As a last re
sort the trip to California was agreed
upon and his family are greatly cheered
over the fact that the first stage of
the Journey has apparently not fatigued
him to any great extent.
U ROSE CASE
IS WITH JURY
At 10 o'clock this morning the jury
that for nearly two weeks has listened
to testimony" and argument In the case
of Jack l-.a Rose, charged with beating
Hyman Neuman to death with a gas
pipe, retired to consider its verdict. No
word has come from the jury-room to
give any Indication as to what the re
sult will be, but it is evident that the
Jurors are not a unit, and that the ma
jority, whichever way It- leans, is try
ing to get the minority into line.
Attorneys for the state and for the
defense were alike positive this morn
ing in predicting that the verdict would
favor them. The state contends that
the case is strong enough to Justify the
belief that a verdict of guilty In the
first degree will be returned, but this
is not the general opinion. Those who
have followed the case closest predict
that if an agreement Is reached it will
not be on any verdict stronger than
second degree. There are four possible
verdicts first degree, second degree,
manslaughter and acquittal.
Disagreement is thought by many to
be the most likely outcome. This Is on
the theory that several Jurors of posi
tive convictions have been convinced
that Ia Rose Is guilty and must not tx
allowed to escape the law. and that
several others are equally sure that the
prmf of the state Is Insufficient to re
move reasonable doubt from their minds.
This Is also on the theory that the op
posing sides will not agree to a com
promise verdict of manslaughter, as
nas done in the case of Edward II.
Martin.
Judge Morrow took little more than
half an hour ln delivering his instruc
tions to the Jury. They followed the
usual line In such cases, and both sides
expressed satisfaction with thpm.
I At flrst the Jury retired to the Jrtry
room on the second floor of the rourt
hous", but found the conveniences poor
land asked to he taken to the room on
; the third floor, where the Martin Jury
I deliberated. This request was granted.

The concluding arguments in the case
! were made yesterday afternoon by Jay
H. Cpton for the defense and Deputy
District Attorney j-nzgeraia ror ine
'prosecution. Some comment has been
j excited by the fact that the trial was
finished on Friday, the 13th day of the
i month. Each side hopes that the evil
omen will attach to the other.

T GO EAST
Jackson Reld. the 1 Vvear-nlA. slaver
of George F. De Mars, who was declared
delinquent by a Jury in the juvenile
court, wilj not have to go to prison for
the killing, but-he will be taken away
from his present environments, and will
be required " to attend a school where
strict discipline is enforced for at least
two i'ears.
This waa the Judgment pronounced by
Judge Oantenbeln ln the Juvenile court
this afternoon. . Reld is made a ward of
the court and released-on parole under
pledge that he will be sent to his ma
ternal grandmother in' Chattanooga,
Tenn. There he is to be sent to a
school of rigid discipline for at least
two years. Jlla grandmother, Mrs. Cor
delia Reld, must report to the Juvenile
court every three months regarding his
conduct. v-
The attorneys for the state are satis
fied with the disposition of the case by
Judge Oantenbeln, feeling- that no good
would be likely to result from sending
the bov to prison or to the reform
school, and that he may be made a good
citizen if given toroDer tratnlna- from
this time on.
Judge Oantenbeln also took measures
to relieve the boy from the stigma of
having been convicted of murder in the
first degree. The verdict returned by
the Jury read: "We, the Jury, find Chase
Jackson Reld guilty of delinquency, as
set forth In the petition herewith." -
The judge called the Jury together
again this arternoon ana resubmitted
the matter to them, stating that the last
clause of the verdict Implied that they
had found the boy guilty of murder In
the first degree as charged ln the In
dictment. "I do not think." he said, "that that
was your intention. And I do not be
lieve "that if the boy had been tried in
the circuit court he would ever have
been found guilty of murder In the first
dearee.
"The last clause of your verdict Is
not necessary In order to olace the boy
under the Jurisdiction of the juvenile
court. The verdict of delinquency la
sufficient tor mat.
The Jury took -.the hint snd retiring
for a few minutes, returned a verdict
minus the objectionable clause.

(United Press Leases Wlre.l
St Petersburg. Nov. 13. The hopes
for peace or the chances of war 10
the Balkan region depend' on the tet
of a note that is exnected here today
from Vienna. The relations between
Austro-Hunawry snd Bervla have be
come so strained that Frans Josef has
asked Russia, .France and Great Bri
tain to attempt mediation at Belgrade.
The exact position of the dual mon
archy with regard to the annexation
ef Bosnia and Hersegovlna, and Just how
far the powers may go in .attempting
to pacliy tne Demgeroni oervians, arc
the topics supposed to be contained in
the expected note.
The strained situation between Servla
snd Austro-Hungary cannot last long,
say diplomats. Unless something shall
be done very soon there will be war,
and this war will probably drag other
powers into the disputei . ,
Frans Josef fears that Russia will
attempt to aid Servla in her quarrel
and it Is ststed that if necessary Kaiser
Wllhelm will come to the aid of Aus
tria. . -
The attitude of Servla snd Mon
tenegro toward the annexation by Aus

their appeal to Russia for aid have com- ,
