was a "moral and physical Impossibil
ity" for th Jury to agree.
He told th court th Jury stood ten to
two on their last ballot. . . - t
Judge Lpuderback personally polled
the Jurors and all reported a belief in the
impossibility of agreement. ,
The Judge stated It had been his inten
tion to hold them until 6 o'clock: Sunday
evening but because of the unanimity of
the opinion that an agreement was im
possible he would discharge the Jury
with the thanks of the court. He praised
the manner in which they had conducted
themselves and 'the first trial of the peo
ple versus Arbuckle became a matter of
history.-
While the court record ended here the
tale Just began to unfold. As the Jurors
filed from the side door of the courtroom
they were Importuned for "the inside
story" of what had happened within the
narrow confines of the three Jury rooms
they occupied for they were twice
moved, first Saturday night and again
8unday morning.
JURORS TALK
With a ban removed the- floodgates
of speech were loosened and the jurors
began to talk. Some reluctantly, others
willingly, and the details of what trans
pired during those two days In the Jury
room began to get the light of day.
There was but on exception. Mrs. Helen
Hubbard would not talk. She was met
by a friend at the door of the court
room. "Get me out of her quickly," she said,
and the friend took her down the rear
elevator and out through police bead
quarters into an alley. She declined to
discuss the matter with reporters.
But the other women felt differently.
and what they had to say was received
with special interest. This Is the first
big criminal trial In which women Jurors
have sat and their attitude was eagerly
sought.
There were five women on the Ar
buckle Jury. Three of them, Mrs. Kitty
MacDonald, Mrs. Dorothy CDea and
Mrs. Adelaide Nelson, were for acquittal,
first, last and all the time. Miss Ioulse
Winterbum vacillated. She voted for
acquittal and she voted for conviction,
but she rather favored a -conviction.
Mrs. Hubbard was for conviction from
the start and never changed her vote.
It was she who really "hung" the Jury.
XXXXEXHY SHIFTS
All the men wer for acquittal, except
one, Thomas Kilkenny. Ha shifted his
vote several times ; from "Innocent" to
"guilty," but he was inclined to believe
Arbuckle guilty, and the last ballot
found him voting with Mrs. Hubbard
tor an adverse verdict.
Twenty-two ballots were taken, on
paper, and many more orally. The first
fiv ballots ran as follows :
Not guilty. GMTty. Blank,

On the first ballot Kilkenny, who has
had considerable Jury experience, cast a

never has been disclosed, voted "guilty."

On the second ballot, which was taken
immediately afterward the mysterious

9 to 3 for acquittal.
, Kilkenny shifted to the "not guilty"
column on the third ballot and stayed
there for the fourth also, which wa
taken after considerable discussion,
making the count 10 to ZJ Then, -after
a long argument, a fifth ballot was
taken, Kilkenny again : .shifting to
"guilty" and bringing th count to 9 to
S, where it stayed until this morning,
when Miss Winterburn changed her vote
to "not guilty," with the result that those
figures were given to the court as the
final stand of the Jury.
THREE TYPES SHOWS
Those hours of deliberations, of
wrangling, of acrimonious dispute (for
so they are described) afford an inter
esting study in contrasts of the feminine
Juror.. Three types of mind were shown,
and, it may be said, three opinions. Two
of these 'opinions - were set, for and
against Arbuckle, th third vacillated,
torn by the agonies' of conscience. -
It Is this last person. Miss Winter
burn, who is, perhaps, the most interest
ing of them all In her creations to this
duty which she felt lie so heavily upon
her. She is a studious, cultured woman
of. mature, age, possibly 40," . charmingly
dressed, but quietly. She has seen and
read much about men and things. She
has undergone several severe operations
as the result of an accideent, and thus
was more conversant with medical terms
than the others and understood the tech
nicalities of the expert testimony.
It is safe to say Miss Winterburn suf
fered In that Jury room. So keen was
her desire , to do her duty as she sav it
and so anxious, was she not to do an
lnjUBtio : that she was continually In a
state of mental conflict.
"I don't know what to do, ah told
the other women. "Sometimes I think
he is guilty and sometimes I believe him
innocent. If I only knew more about
the dead girl, About her character, I
might be able to decide more clearly."
So poignant was Miss Winterburn s
thoughts as ballot followed ballot that
she nearly collapsed. Saturday night,
from mental strain. ,
"My conscience hurts me," she said to
one -of the Jurors Saturday night after
they had gone to their hotel. . "
; And this morning aha voted "not
guilty"- after 'having voted "guilty" for
more than 24 hours.
Mrs. Hubbard had no such misgivings.
From several different sources a fairly
accurate account of her attitude has
been obtained as demostrated by what
she said and what she did, in the Jury
room.
DISBELIEVES STORY
When they firsi entered the room, she
voted "guilty" twice in succession. Then
a general argument ensued with every
one talking at once. Another? ballot
was taken, Mra. Hubbard1 still voting
"guilty." Th general hullabaloo r
suited in Foreman Frits suggesting a
more orderly method, and each spoke In
turn, giving his or her reasons for th
vote.
"I believe Arbuckle guilty," said Mrs.
Hubbard. "I don't believe his story. I
think it is an entire falsification, and
I think, most of th other defense wit
nesses ar liars."
From that statement the readers may
conjure a mental picture of Mrs. Hub
bard. She is about 45 years old, the
wife of a lawyer and. is possessed of a
keen mind and a . tremendous amount
of determination. Her rather -' portly
figure, black clad, radiates considerable
confidence in her own opinions. Her
mouth is thin -lipped, her chin firm. ' No
vacillation about Mrs. Hubbard.
After the fourth ballot, on which she
again voted "guilty, it was decided
that no verdict could be reached until
Mrs. Hubbard could be induced to at
least admit the possibility Of Ar buckle's
innocence, and Foreman Frits suggested
that each person on the Jury talk with
her. in turn, for a length of time not to
exceed one hour, each.
They might as well have saved their
breath. There-was as much chance of
moving her as of moving the Hall of
Justice. In tact, instead of Inducing
ter to change her vote, ah solidified the
"guilty- votes. Both Kilkenny and Miss
Winterburn were wavering i whan they
began their orations with Mrs. Hub
bard. ; But the conversations became
monotonous and the two who went to
argue, returned to .vote the same way
j&rs. Hubbard was voting.
' Then th fireworks began. . Some one.

Paris, Dec. 6. Bluebeard Landru is

The assassin of trusting women. now
eaBed ' by many the "monster of the
Gambais villa," has completely lost his
nerv since the jury round . him guilty
and sentenced aim to loo his head on
the guillotine, i ' , - j
Hope has left him. He sits in his
cell hour after hour, never speaking to
his Jailers, scarcely touching the food
brought to tempt him. exploring the
depths of despair.- !
-. Landru'a Jailers predicted this change
In hina, the only instance Of any one's
forecasting a mood of this amasing man;
During the two years that he , lay tn
Jail awaiting trial his nerv was strongt
his manner flippant or defiant. He
Joked about the guillotine then, always
Insisting, however, that he would never
lay his head upon the "moon" the
grooved block where tne murderers of
France meet their end.
Even in court during the loner days
of stress when his fata was being pre
pared by the prosecutor, Landru main
tained Mm nerve, and utterly bewildered
those who tried In vain to place him in
this or that type of unusual mentality.
But the Jailers always said that when
Landru actually came to the gulllotin
he would break.
Now ho is fast losing weight. He sits
with his head bowed, thinking of the
hour when he will b called from his
cell to pay with his own life for those
of the 10 women and one - man whom
he killed. The Jailers say he is seised
with a terrible fear of that sharp, whin
ing knife on th-scaffold.
Landru has on more chance, but h
bases no hope upon it. That chance lies
In his appeal from tne decision of the
Jury in the Versailles court. If the ap
peal is turned down, however, he must
permit the barber to shave off that proud
beard and his head as well.
His own suit and his leather shoes will
be taken from him, and fie must put on
the coarse woollen prison uniform and
the awkward wooden sabots of the
peasant.
When his last hour comes he wQl be

cussed th entire problem. of appropria
tions and pointed out how savings hav
been and could be effected through the
proper operation and development of th
budget act passed by the last extraordi
nary, session of congress.
DAWES SCOBES, CUSTOM "
Dawes scored the custom of making
"deficiency" appropriations, declaring
that the "method of appropriating money
heretofore followed : has resulted in a
condition of things under which it is im
possible for either the executive, con
gress or secretary of the treasury to
have before them a true picture of the
fiscal . condition "of the government at
any particular time,,".
"Although congress has by stringent
penal law prohibited the creation of de
ficiencies and clearly indicated that, its
annual -appropriations were intended to
limit th amount to be expended for such
period, yet millions -of dollars have been
annually spent by the departments above
the estimates submitted at the beginning
of th fiscal year, and tn recent years,
due to th' great sums appropriated in
connection M'ith the war, hundreds of
millions of dollars .have been so ex
pended by : the departments, a course
made possible, by deficiency and supple
mental appropriations, the existence of
revolving funds and unexpended bal-
Dawea expressed confidence that the
estimate of expenditures for 1923, upon
which the budget Is based, "will not" be
increased except through appropriations
Initiated by congress or by the execu
tive as a result of emergency or of un
forseen conditions arising after the
preparation of the budget.
BASED OX ACTUAL HEEDS
Th budget director asserted that the
"wide indefinite and fluctuating margin
between the expenditures of any given
year and the appropriations requested
by .congress to cover the same period,
would be prevented by the establishment
of a "system by which requests for ap
propriations are based upon the actual
need of money for disbursement during
the fiscal year for which the appropri
ation is made."
"The more rigid the system under
which continuous attention to the con
duct of the business of government is
made, mandatory on the part of con
gress and the business administration,
the more efficient will be the conduct
of the government," Dawes said.
CAUSE OF BED TAPE
"In th well managed organization the
closest contact between the source of
Information and the power which can
compel corrective action is always main
tained. What we call "red tape" in
government business- largely results
from lack of contact between those sen
3hl of errors In administration and
those in authority responsible for their
correction. The less cumbersome the
machinery for the transmission of the
executive will and the closest contact
between those associated with It and the
president himself, the more effective
will be the functioning of the govern
ment: as a business machine."
; Dawes suggested that coordinating
agencies such as he referred to should
bo created from th body of existing
employes, and not by legislation "where
their,..- personnel, would necessarily, be
built up by outside appointments."
Th director discussed the contem
plated regrouping and reorganization
of government departments and said
that if the report of the congressional
commission charged with thisvwork Is
accepted ; in principle, such legislation
.would greatly simplify the preparation
of the national budget In future years.

2 JAPANESE HELD
ON LIQUOrt CHARGE
WORRY OFFICIALS
United States ' Immigration ' officials
find themselves In a position similar to
the fellow who "held the sack" while
his Jovial friends beat th brush for
snipe to drive into the receptacle. It all
comes about from the tact . that ' two
Japanese liquor smugglers wer arrested
on shipboard, taken forcibly ashor by
customs inspectors and sent to Jail after
conviction in th federal court
v Now the immigration , department,'
which has the Job: of keeping undesir
able aliens out of the country, is pow
erless to act until the prisoner get out
of JalL J By,, that time th ship y that
brought them into Portland will be well
on its way back to Japan, which means
the United States must pay for the de
portation of the smuggler
PINO 25 CASES ' ;
The 25 cases of "Scotch" whiskey
found aboard the Japanese steamer Den
mark Maru, prompted the little gam.
After locating , the whiskey th customs-officials
arrested Jchitara Kuma,
quartermaster and Tsuman Kono, fire
man, and charged them with illegally
possessing liquor in the United States.
The customs Officials relieved - them
selves, of further responsibility by pre
senting the evidence i to the United
States attorney and by-signing a com
plaint before th United Stat com
missioner. The commissioner soon dis
charged himself, by issuing a warrant
for the arrest of the men and turning
the warrant over to the United States
marshal. ...
The marshal's worries were not long
lived, for' within -a short time he had
the defendants removed to the federal
corridor of the county Jail.
ACTIOS IS BAFID
Friday the United States attorney ab
solved himself of further responsibility
when he took the -two men before th
United States district court. The
court's aqiion was the quickest of all.

Then th prisoners were led to th

would not pay the. fine, becaus the law
