Division Said To Be Nine For Conviction to Three For Acquittal. x GOSHEN, N, V.. Nov. 26. -The, jury trying Burton W. Gibson, for the mur der of Countess Rosa Menschik Szabo, on Greenwood lake, July 16, announced its inability to agree at 11:15, when it had been out fifteen hours ajid thirty five minutes. The division was said to be nine for conviction and three for ar quittai. Twice before it. had-reported a liisagr. enii-nt, but each time had been shut back by Justice Tompkins to ct>n | tinue its deliberations. | Foreman J. L. Hicks, of the jury* had ' announced when the second report was l made at 9:47 o'clock,’that there was a I possibility of a verdict being reached, so when word was sent into court that the jury was ready to report again at 11:15 o'clock, there was a flutter of excitement. Gibson was again taken into court from his cell, anil, despite the likelihood of a verdict, he was calm.: Mrs. Gibson was not in court, having been ordered to bed an hour before by her physician. The news of the disagreement wa's kept from lief upon orders of Dr. O’Reilly, one of the medical experts for the defense, under whose care she lies. Jury Interrogates Judge, The first report from the jury came at three minutes after 2 a. m., or six hours and twenty-four minutes after the jurors got the case. Justice Tomp kins, who had gmm to a-, neighboring hotel at the close of the day's ..session of court, was summoned, and J. T. Hicks, foreman of the jury, announced that the twelve could come to no verdict. They were ordered back, and then the fore man asked: "Does the question of guilty or not guilty hinge on whether Mrs. Ritter (Countess Szabo) was strangled-.'" "It rests upon all the evidence." re plied the court. “If you find she m'fft her death at the hinds of the defend ant. then your verdict must be ren dered‘in the first degree." “Must we consider all the other evi dence in its relation to murder'."’ asked another juror. "You must,” replied the court. Attorney Robert H. Elder, counsel for the defense, jumped to his feet after the juror had ceased questioning Jus tice Tompkins and shouted: “I move—” Before he could go any further he was stopped by Justice Tompkins, who said he would not consider any mo tions at that time. When the jurors had gone back to their room the judge returned to his ho tel, leaving word that he would accept a verdict at any time. Both Near Collapse. At 2:30 o’clock the jury again Re sumed its deliberations At that hour both Mr. and Mrs. Gibson were awake and both were bordering on collapse. Mrs. Gibson wept violently in the court room as the jury retired, and had to be comforted by two women friends. Gib son wa< pale mil trembling as he wa led back to his cell, and court attaches feared that lie was going to faint. Later in his cell Gibson regained his composure and sent a reassuring mes sage to Ills wife, telling her not to wor ry. as he was sure "everything would come out all right."

Happiness of Senator Tillman Is at Stake FIGHTING FOR CHILDREN COLUMBIA, S. Nov. 26. Hearing of an action of law which has as its stake the happiness of I'nited States Senator BenjahYn .1: Tillnjan began today in the South Carolina supreme court, Chief Jus-’ . the Gn'ri presiding. The'.petitioner In fact, is Benjamin R. Tilln)a>n,-. 'Jr . ..but Ills aged father is the one, who is pursuing the pending ease. . Tlio lirtii'ing was before the full supreme court;..... Jlahy women prominent In the higher Rur-lal walks of the st&te and men of higlr', pupstige were presMit. Senator Tillman was one of the most conspicuous figures at the hearing. His son, Benja min R. Tillman. Jr., the son's divorced wife and their two little daughters, Dousehka 'Pickens and Sarali Stark Till man. were also in the court room. At noon the hearing was adjourned un til next Monday in order that the counsel for young Tillman might present evid ence in rebuttal to several affidavits sub mitted by tlie deponent, Mrs. Lucy Dugas. Each side was allowed one hour for pe tition apd exhibits of B. R. Tillman. Jr., and the return affidavit and exhibits of the deponent, Mrs Dugas. The reading of these documents, both of which were [ voluminous, consumed practically the whole time of the court until near noon, when a recess of ten minutes was taken. 'Her tip; recess Henry A. Tillman, of counsel for the petitioners asked for an extension of time to put in evidence af fidavits tn rebuttal to those Mrs. Dugas, alleging that B. it. Tillman. Jr., had been under the influence of intoxicating liquors l in November of this year. This the court I allowed, extending the time until Monday. The case is remarkable because of the fact that the aged senator, in the bill of particulars filed with the court, lias ad mitted that his son hast been a drunkard, though he is now reformed. • The suit is for the custody of the sena tor's two grandchildren, the offspring of DERISIVE SMILE OF DEFENDANT RILES DYNAMITE JUDGE INDIANAPOLIS. Nov. 26.—Defend ant Olaf Tveitmoe’s pel petual smile, characteristjr-of this coast labor leader, so irritated Judge Anderson at the dy namite conspiracy trial this forenoon that the court ordered him removed ftom counsel’s table and placet! in the midst of his fellow defendants. Judge Anderson interrupted the cross-exami nation of McManigal: “1 don't know why the defendant 'i’veitmoe is seated at counsel'.- table. He has .-indulged in repeated demon strations for days. There is a perpet ual smite of derision upon his face. I am not going to tolerate it any longer, and I warn you all to behave your selves. Mr. Marshal, you will place this gentleman back with the other de fendants and keep him there." . Tveitmoe went His face was crim son. U. S. EXPERT SAYS TURKEY IS NOT IN PROPER FLAVOR WASHINGTON. Nov. 26. —Saying that the turkey is not in proper flavor at this time of the year, Acting Chief Chemist Doolittle, of the department of agriculture, gave out a turkeyless menu. acquittal. The jurors looked pale and disheveled when they came into coprt at 9:17 o’clock and reported again to Justlia Tompkins that they had been unable to agree. Foreman Hicks said he thought there was a chance of reaching a ver dict, and the Jurors were sent back to continue their deliberations. Gibson < rented a scene in court Just after Foreman Hicks had announced the disagreement. As Justice Tomp kins was thanking the Juro:s for their efforts, the defendant jumped to his fqe,t. exclaiming: "Your honor, may I make -” ’’No.’’ snapped the judge. Gibson persisted in addressing the jury . grow ing more and more • xcited as he proceeded. Finally he subsided and Justice Tompkips completed his re marks. Attorney Elder later explained tlfnt Glbsoii only wanted to ask the Jury to make another attempt to-ar rive at av» edict. Gibson's iron nerve Was ,shu,ttyred as he was led back to ■us cell. His eyes were downcast and he shook from head to foot. it Ava» regarded as certain here that Gibson would timer ..gain stand trial for murder, bitt < barges of fraud are pending against him in New York county. At noon D. Rellley said It would be I safe to Inform Mrs. Gibson of the dis- 1 agreement and this was done. She went at once to the jail and flung her- I self into hi husband's arms, weeping > Inconsolably. his son and his daughter-in-law . formerly Lucy Dugas, q granddaughter of former iJoryer Pickens, of this state. A«t present the little ones are in the custody of their mother, who resides at Edgefield, but who is said to be contemplating their removal froni the state. This is the second attempt of the aged statesman to secure the two chil dren. On the first occasion the court de cided that the mother was better prepared to i;ear the children because of the father’s weakness for liquor, which was alleged by Iris young wife. The senator, ton that occasion, wrote nto a petition, which he submitted to the court, a pitiful appeal. "We love them,” he wrote in the midst of the formal legal paper. "We love them dearly and we will care for them tendefly.’’ Wife Won Decision. Despite al! his personal popularity and influence, however, the court decided in favor of Mrs. Tillman, Jr., holding as just her allegations to the effect that young Tillman was a drunkard and was unable to support their children. The sen ator was much downcast by tills finding an<l for a long time refused to discuss his son's falling. He was overtaken by a paralytic stroke which nearly cost him his lite. During his convalescence he called for the children continually, mourn ing their loss in his delirium. In the summer of 1912 Mrs. Tillman. Jr., got a divorce in Ohio from her husmand, tlie senator's young son, and since that time she has lived in Edgefield. It was in 1910, two years before the divorce de cree. that the children were granted to her by the South Carolina supreme court, after a severe tight against Senator and Mrs. Tillman and B. R. Tillman, Jr. In the South Carolina court today the case was begun in which the Tillmans are making their last effort to get the chil dren away from their mother. GEORGIA R. R. CAN’T REMOVE W. U. POLES FROM RIGHT-OF-WAY In obtaining from Superior Judge Pendleton today a temporary order re straining the lessees of the Georgia .railroad from removing poles and wires from along the railroad’s right-of-way, the Western Union Telegraph Company reopened condemnation cases affecting several Georgia railroads. On suits brought by the Georgia road and the Western and Atlantic railroad to stay the telegraph company's con demnation proceedings recently, the su preme court decided that a railroad had prior claim over its own right-of-way uid the \\ estern Union could condemn only such property as had not been designated by the railroad for specific purposes. < In bringing suit today, tlie Western I nion attorneys asked the court for a pei manent injunction, ou legal grounds not involved in the other trials. Judge Pendleton gave the Western Union a temporary order, and set the hearing for December 7.

Yes, laijy. the postoffice is two blocks straight up and one to the right. No, ma’am; the Westview cars don’t pass the corner. Go up to Broad street. No, sir: I can't tell you just where 498 Moreland avenue Is, but that car’ll take you there.” Up Decatur street comes a string of one-horse drays, creeping along with each horse’s nose hung over the wagon bed in front, and every driver half asleep on his seat. The white glove goes up, the line halts and jams, block i Ing the sidewalk and cutting off forty pedestrians who want to cross. Officer Mitchell steps over. “Go ahead, you,” he commands. “You next man, hold up there. Let these people by. Open up that line.” , Down comes a six-cylinder car, load ed with young folks, a woman at the wheel. It dashes into the jam; she tries to turn into Marietta street: and the driver coming south barely pulls up his team in time to check a smash. The woman driver Is contrite. “Oh, I thought you said go ahead," she explains. The traffic cop is all smiles. "Don’t ever turn to the left around a corner,” he says, quietly. “Swing way out to the right and take the outside. Then y'ou won’t get into trouble.” Amateurs Worst To Handle. Down comes a clattering truck, load ed loosely with iron bars and clanking like a tin roof in a gale. The driver must be making his last trip, for he sends his mules flying into Peachtree, only to be checked by that white glove. “Look here, you,” says the traffic man. "I’ve warned you once. Next time you come through here like that it's you to the station house. See? Now, drive on." “It’s negro draymen and amateur au to drivers that give us the most trou ble,” explained one of the officers. "Folks that are used to passing here don't worry us much. They drive down and wait for the signal and don't lose much time. But these amateurs, they come through lickety-split, scared of their car, and afraid to monkey with it, and they’re likely to hit somebody. . And the negro drivers, why, they come a-bustin’ through like they had a ten acre field to drive In, ’specially along late in the evenin’, when they’re on their way home to hot catfish and beer. The motormen, too, give us trouble sometimes, but the company has post ed orders that they've got to mind the traffic policemen just like anybody else, and they ain’t so bad now.” Two Men at the Points. There are two men on duty at Five Points most of the day. Burnett will take the difficult Decatur street -cor ner for an hour, while Mitchell holds down the lighter corner of Edgewood and Peachtree. Then they will swap jobs for an hour, Each is given an hour and a half off for lunch, and while one is gone the other must guard all five of the arteries, which is some job and E. C.

The prisoner clipped from the exec utive document the following para graph: And while we are giving thanks for blessings vouchsafed for our selves, let us seek i jt the needy, the helpless, the disconsolate, the fatherless and the orphan, and ex tend to them such help as will bring joy and fullness to their hearts, ever remembering that to us is the divine promise. “The Eternal God is thy refuge, and un derneath are the everlasting arms!” In this clipping, the words “seek,” “needy,” “helpless" and "disconsolate” were heavily underscored, and along with the quotation from the Thanksgiv ing proclamation came the following letter: ENGINEER. HURRYING MAN T° HOSPITAL, INJURED ST. JOSEPH. MO.. Nov. 26.—Harry Busse, a railroad conductor, is in a hospital here with his feet cut off, and Norman Hawkins is suffering from se rious injuries, as the result of a series of peculiar accidents. Busse had one foot severed and the other crushed by a train at Stouts, Kans. Ho was being rushed to St. Jo seph in an improvised special train made up of an engine and way car, when it jumped the track near Elwood, Kans., and Engineer Hawkins was se riously hurt. ways,” explained one of the traffic men In a lull He had just helped an aged woman across the street, protecting her three children, two hand bags, a basket and a parrot in a cage, and had paused to run a handkerchief around the in side of his helmet, though the ther mometer marked around 40. “But they start across from any old place and go any old direction. Sometimes they're kept hopping lively out in the middle of the triangle, but mostly they get over all right. They’ll grab their hats and run across right in front of an au tomobile and then stop on the sjffe'valk and look back like they hadn’t been in a hurry, anyway. Honest, some folks are funny. And sometimes they’ll get to talking and stroll across, kinder slow, like there wasn’t a trolley car or a truck in 40 .miles, just as uncon cerned as you please. It’s a wonder to me there ain’t more folks butted into |>y bicycles and run over by auto mobiles than really happens. We can’t play nurse to everybody on four cor ners at one time.” Two Big Rush Periods. The great rush comes in the morning, when everybody is hurrying into town for business, and another is between 4 and 6 o’clock in the afternoon, when everybody is going home. When'the office buildings begin to pour their in habitants into street cars and automo biles, when the thousands begin filling the sidewalks, when the dazzling head lights throw their glare into the faces of‘drivers coming the other way, when street car gdngs and electric horns be gin playing the Devil's Ragtime in the dusk, then the traffic cop begins to feel that a lonely beat in the suburbs would be the next best thing to a per petual vacation. “But we take it as it comes,” said Charley Mitchell, with a tired look. "Sometimes it's bad and sometimes it’s worse, but you can get used to any thing.” And the gloved hand shot up to halt a motor car until a beer wagon went clattering by. » Dear Governor —My term win ex . pire on December 9, and will y oll make me and my loved ones hap. puy, as you suggest in your hope ful proclamation, by letting me be home with them on Thanksgiving day?

JOE BENSON, Governor Brown said he would |j;- e to do all he could for the “disconsL late” and the "helpless” on Thanksgiv. ing day, just as his proclamation sag. gests, but that he necessarily has tu draw a distinction between those in that state because of misfortune or justice and those in that state because of viciousness and deliberate intent. He intimated that the state’s gu est petitioning for clemency upon a para graph from the Thanksgiving proelal mation, in all probability, would be the state’s guest on Thanksgiving day. h, said he understood they were preparing to give the prisoners an excellent tur key dinner at the state farm on Thanksgiving day.

QUICKLY CURES THE WORST BACKACHE New Remedy Makes Kidney Troubles, Bladder Disor ders, and Rheumatic Pains Disappear, as if By Magic. It is no longer necessary for any on* to suffer with backaehing, kidney trou ble, have disagreeable bladder and uri nary disorders to contend with, or be tortured with rheumatism, stiff joints, and its heart-wrenching pains, for the new discovery, Croxone. quickly and surely cures all such troubles. Croxone is the most wonderful rem edy yet devised for ridding the system of uric acid and driving out all the poisonous impurities which cause such troubles.- It is entirely different from all other remedies. It is not like any thing else ever used for the purpose. It acts on the principle of removing the cause. Pills, tablets, and other reme dies at the best, merely stimulate the kidneys, giving temporary relief. Crox one cleans out the poisons. It soaks right In through the walls, membranes and linings, like water In a sponge, neutializes. dissolves and makes the kidneys sift out and filter away all the uric acid and poisons from the blood, and leaves the kidneys and uri nary organs clean, strong, healthy and well. It matters not how long you have suffered, how old you are, or what you have used, the very principle of Crox one is such that it is practically Im possible to take it into the human sys tem without results. There is nothing else on earth like it. It starts to work the miriute you take it and relieves you the first time you use it. If you suffer with pains in your bacl: and sides, or have any signs of kidney, bladder troubles, or rheumatism, sue 1 ' as puffy swellings under the eyes, or i' the feet and ankles, if you are nervous tired and run down, or bothered with urinary disorders. Croxone will quickl' relieve you- of your misery. You can secure an original package of Croxone at trifling cost from any first-class druggist, such as Jacobs Pharmacy who will personally return the pur chase price if it falls in a single case (Advt.)
