Seen Conferring on Bal- cony During Rainfall DEFENSE STAFF CONFIDENT Prosecution Rejects Suggestion That Case be Decided on Deadlock Basis Honolulu, April 29.—(7)}—Apparent- ly deadlocked while defense and Prosecution engaged in a side maneu- ver, the 12 men striving for a verdict in the case of four persons accused of the lynching of Joseph Kahahawai carried on Friday after having given watchers a few tantalizing glimpses of their jury room drama. ‘The first brief tableau came late ‘Thursday after the case had been in the jurors’ hands nearly 24 hours. The seven jurors of Anglo-Saxon blood left the deliberation room to stand on @ balcony while light rain was fall- ing. The other. five, three Chinese, a Portuguese and an Hawaiian, re- mained inside. For a few moments the seven con- versed but they could not be over- heard. Except for the racial aspect of the act, observers found nothing significant in it. Thereafter the jur- ors could be seen from a distance go- ing to and fro in the room and mov- ing to and from the balcony, but they exhibited no signs of heated debate and generally leaned listlessly against the balcony rail. Late in the day Montgomery Winn of defense counsel expressed the be- et the jurors were standing ¢lther 11 to one-or 10 to two for the defense and sted to Public Prosecutor John C. Kelley that he agree to a ver- dict on that basts. Kelley rejected it. Subsequently it was understood ‘Winn's statement regarding the bal- Joting was not based on definite in- formation but on his belief « major- ity of the jurors favored the defend- ants. Kelley said he had learned the re- sult of the first ballot but he declined to share his information with newspa- per men. The jury is balloting separately on each defendant, Lieut. Thomas H. Massie, U. S. N.; his mother-in-law, Mrs. Granville Fortescue; Albert O. Jones and E. J. Lord, navy enlisted men. Massie admitted firing the fa- tal shot after Kahahawai assertedly confessed participating in the attack last Sept. 12 on the naval officer's wife. COMMITTEE BOOSTS TAX ON BEVERAGES Oil-Coal-Copper-Lumber Tariff Coalition Gathers Forces For Battle Washington, April 29.—()—Car- bonated waters, unfermented fruit juices, grape concentrates and Brew- ers’ wort were given increased tax rates Friday by the senate finance committee in revising the house rev- enue bill. Cereal beverages were the only pro- ducts in the list of beverages to get any reduction. The committee cut down this tax from. two cents to one and one-quarter cents a gallon. \ Meanwhile, the oll-coal-copper- lumber tariff coalition was gathering its forces for a finish fight on ‘the senate floor.to restore tariff items to the revenue bill. Oil, coal and copper were rejected Thursday by the com- mittee by narrow mi argins, Senator Thomas (D., Okla.), in maaae | the open threat to ne day that unless the tariff i is re- stored to the bill by the senate “we'll be here. until late fall.” ‘The tax on grape concentrates, oth- er than finished products or fountain syrups, was changed from 40 per cent ad valorem to 44 cents a gallon. ‘The house tax on: brewers’ wort was raised from five cents to 10 Gd a gallon. The levy on malt syru hoisted from 35 cents a gallon t to four cents a pound. The latter rate was estimated to be equivalent to 46 cents @ pound. . Chile Mobilizes Its Army for.

A sparkling white house banquet for the state executives who had tak- en part in the governors’ conference at Richmond, found Governor Frank- lin D, Roosevelt of New York seated midway between the President and Mrs. Hoover. At the board also were Albert C. Ritchie of Maryland, and Governor White of Ohio, potential Democratic nominees, and Pennsyl-) vania’s Gifford Pinchot, conspicuous Republican foe of Hoover. The 22 governors who attended with the first ladies of their respective states, emerged in high good humor, full of quips for bustling and inquisi- tive newspapermen. Did they talk politics? Pernt @ pol and not a tick,” said Pin- chot, “was spoken all night.” velt and Ritchie admitted of having talked national affairs with the man they hope to supplant as white house host. “But you know, one cannot disclose his conversation after being at the white house,” observed Roosevelt. “I've been there before, you know.” All did not go off quite smoothly, however, for one of the guests failed to arrive and the remainder were kept waiting 15 minutes. It was Gov- ernor Olson of Minnesota, who when found at his hotel explained he had sent his regrets from Richmond and could not attend because he had to catch an early train. He excused himself again and the dinner pro- ceeded without him. After dinner, and the men’s coffee and cigars in the president's study there was a musicale presented by the scarlet-coated marine band. Governor Ritchie observed afterwards: “We had 60 cent cigars, but the music started before we could smoke up more than 20 cents worth,” ‘The. entertainment over, the gover- nors scattered for their home states. f Romance Develops {/t | From Murder Trial Minot, N.

The division of the final figures shows 1,936,660, or 26.49 per cent, voting for continuance of the Prohibition amendment and 3,431,887, or 73.51 per cent, favoring repeal. Kansas and North Carolina are the only two states giving a clear majority for prohibition, Kansas voting dry by @ majority of 397 votes out of a total of 84,121 ballots received and North Carolina voting dry by a majority of 68 votes out of a total of 64,790 bal- lots returned. Northeast Section Wet The wettest section of the United States as evidenced by the returns in this poll is the group of states from the Mississippi river east to the At- lantic ocean and approximately north of the Mason-Dixon line, with the dampest concentration in the seaboard states of New York, New Jersey, Con- necticut, and Rhode Island. The dryest section of the country in- cludes the belt of states extending from Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas to the Atlantic with the exception of Missouri, Louisiana, and Florida, which three states register higher wet Majorites. The balance of the Middle Western states show a sentiment wetter than the southern group but considerably dryer than the northeastern section of the country. The Rocky Mountain States show a collective vote slightly less wet than the country at large while the Pacific Coast states gives a majority for re- peal higher than the national ratio. Thirty-three states and the District of Columbia return wet majorities in the final tabulation ranging from 2 to 1 to over 7 to 1 for repeal.

CONTINUE WORK IN SECRET IN EFFORT TO GET BABY BACK: Message Intended For Detroit! ‘Purple’ Gangster is Broad- cast Over Radio Hopewell, N. J., April 29.—()— Emissaries continued to labor in secret Friday to get the kidnaped son of Col. Charles A. Lindbergh back, but concrete developments were scarce. Two Norfolk intermediaries were absent on unexplained missions Thursday night while a third, Rear Petia Guy H. Burrage, said at Nor- folk: “I had a long distance telephone talk with Colonel Lindbergh at Hope- well last night.” He and his two colleagues, John H. Curtis, boat-builder, and Dean H. Dobson-Peacock, have said they have cleared avy a number of obstacles between them and their objective, which is return of the baby.

DEMOGRATS Failure to Get So-Cal Get So-Called ‘New Deal’ is Hard Blow. to Party’s Youngsters CAMERON, SCHANTZ TANGLE Ancients of Organization Are Accused of Employing ‘Steam Roller’ Tactics (By Staff Correspondent) New Rockford, N. D., April 28.— When North Dakota Democrats came here Thursday to attend the party state convention there was the flush of hope and optimism but when the meeting adjourned at nearly mid- night it had vanished from some faces while on cthers the freshness ad been dimmed. The disappointment lay chiefly among those who had come to New Rockford as peel of the so-called “new deal” “orth Dakota state Politics. They. had hoped to see defi- nite and constructive action looking toward that end. At the close there were many comments about the steam roller which it was charged controlled the gathering. Whether the rank and file of the new voters in the part; were sufficiently well satisfied witl the results to go home and work for the ticket will determine the fate of the Democratic cause. Chief engineers of the steam roller, according to post convention gossip, were S. J. Doyle and M. A. Hildreth of Fargo, H. H. Perry of Ellendale, national committeeman, and G. S. Wooledge, Minot, convention chair- man. All are ancients in the p: and their grip tightened rather than loosened as the result of the biggest convention the party ever has held in the state. Had 388 Votes There were. 388 -votes legally rep- fesented in the convention and most of them were present. In addition there was more than the usual crowd of convention followers, so that New Rockford probably had 600 visitors during the convention period. Both the I. V. A. Nonpartisan groups of the Republican party were repre- sented by observers and there were some insinuations, here and there, that their hands could be seen in some of the convention actions. To an ordinary, uninitiated spectator, how- ever, this was not discernible. Major John 8. Cohen (above), dis- tinguished publisher of the Atlanta Journal, has been appointed by Gov- ernor Richard B.

SOLDIER, ECONOMIST OPPOSE PAYMENT OF VETERAN BONUS NOW Winner of Congressional Medal of Honor Says There Are ‘No Living Heroes’ Washington, April 29—(7)—An economist and a soldier joined Friday Yin opposing cash redemption of the soldiers bonus now. Before the house ways and means committee, Professor Irving Fisher, Yale university economist, and Rich- |/. ard W. O'Neill, of New York, former state chairman of the disabled Amer- ican Messsteres aeeiet the Patman full payment plan. Fisher said it would be # blow to business confidence. He joined in the views previously expressed by Secretary Mills and Eugene Meyer, chairman of the federal reserve board, that it was unsound economically to inflate the currency by two billion dollars to pay the bonus. O'Neill, a holder of the congres- sional medal of honor, said needy ve- terans should be helped but that “the In the background, however, it was easy to sense the fact that the con- vention leaders were dealing with a two-edged sword and that their in- terest was divided between state and national affairs. While they talked of state offices and problems, they appeared to have had a weather eye on such matters as appointments for postmaster and other items of federal patronage. This generally was accepted as the reason for the so-called machine re- fusing to yield even the fraction of an inch to the many new faces which appeared at the convention. It was the reason why one man who has been recognized as a Democrat for years, was refused a seat in the con- vention because he had voted in the Republican primary in March at the request of a personal friend. The boys had been checking up to see who really was a Democrat. Bangs Is ‘Left Out This also was one of the reasons for giving the cold shoulder to Tracy Bangs, Grand Forks lawyer.
