Its inability to agree nt 11:15, when it '

be nine for conviction and three for ;
quittai. Twice before It had reported .
a disagreement, but each time had been
sent back by Justice Tompkins to Con
tinue Its df liber:: Cions.
Foreman J. 1.. Hicks, of the jury, had
announced when the second report was
made nt 9:4" o’clock, that there was a
possibility of a verdict being readied,
so when word was sent into couit tliat
the jury was ready to report again at
11:15 o'clock, there was a tluttet of j
excitement. Gibson was again tnkmi j

which way to go and when to stop tint!
when to come on! Nothing to do but
stand there and hold up a white-glovtai

But did you ever try standing in one

Ju.-t think how you kick when yout
Cttr is three minutes late and the morn

miles n I -nr. And then just imagine
i being right in the middle of the pate
nient with four streams of traffic swirl
ing about you and trying to tangle up.
Ii must be like ' landing on a lock in

look after itself and' not ti,\ to rim
four different ways at once and -mash
things. Being a triflic cop wouldn't he

B’way Has Nothing on Five Points.
But FiVi Points is Jus; about as busy
a spot at some times of day as any of
.he popular song corners of Broadway
and Utnpty-steenth street. There’s al
the traffic the pavement will bear, and
nobody could crowd in any more. And
Chief Beavers says the Hr ladway squad
hasn't got anything on his traffic cops,
oven If its men are six foot three and
stand like they wore check reins. He
thinks Reub Burnett and Charley
Mitchell are as good as any of them
when it comes to keeping automobiles
from elimbing into trolley cars, and
that’s what traffic cops ire for.
A reporter spent an hour with Mitch
ell and Burnett today. Not exactly with
them, either, for they urged him to get
on th ■ sidewalk, where he wouldn't-get
i run over. He spent the rest of the
hour inside a cigar store, looking out
the glass door, which was warmer and
safer. He began with an earnest effort
to’count the vehicles ta.-sing the cor
ner, but quit after the first live mln
' utes and the fust bundled and seventy
. live motors, trucks, drays, cabs, trolley
j cars, bicycle* and farm wagons. If the
statistic-loving reader can get any sat
isfaction from these figures, us far as
they go, he is welcome,
’’How many folks pass this corner in
an hour? Ask me something easy. How
many’ fleas on a hound dog, f’r in
stance?" replied Officer Mitehell, in an
swer to this simple question. “I’m too
busy keepin’ ’em goin' to stop and
count 'em. Hey you. back up there!

I'p 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 glow
goes up. the line halts and jams, block

Amateurs Worst To Handle.

like a tin roof in a gale. The driver
must be making his last trip, for he
sends his mules Hying into Peachtree,

“Look here, you," says the traffic ntaß
"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 att
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

would be the next best thing to a per
petual vacation.
