The jury retired at 2:05 yesterday afternoon. According to courthouse rumors the jury stood ten to three for conviction moat ot the afternoon, when the artu- Iments were hot and heavy and for I several hours stood eleven to one for conviction. About rive o'clock the lury sent a note to the court. Hinea was charged with making a false re port of the condition ot the hank to a bank examiner. Some or the jurors said the strong est evidence against Hines was the correct computing of the interest due the county ror runds on deposit, and the theory or the state, consequently, that he must have known the true condition of the bank, or he could not have figured it correctly. Hines in his own behalf said that ho j DCTutnt vim iigures ironi tne county treasurers books.

In the English text of the allies' proposals the phrasing was: "In view or the serious economic conditions in Russia, the creditor governments are prepared to write down the war debts owing by Russia to them."
