Va, Jan. 26.—After struggling for more than twenty-four hours with the mass of technical and | sensational testimony, the jury in the | ase of Mrs. Laura Farnsworth Schenk charged with poisioning her husband, John O, Schenk, announced late today they were hopelessly di- vided and could mot reach a verdict.

The final ‘vote taken by the fury after their long session stood eleven for acquittal and oue for conviction. On the first balot, taken within five minutes after the jury retired at 3.6 Wedgesday evening. eight voted for acquigtal, three for convietion and one + refused to vote. On the second ballot there were nine wotes for acquittal and three for con- viction. From this status the num- ber for acquiital was gradually work- ed up to eleven. One of the juror: it is reported. came over at the nig session Wednesday, while another changed his opinion’ today.

Makes s Statement Regarding the Ex- | President’s Campaign Letter on the Decision in the Hoxie Case. New York, Jan. 26.~The Outlook this week publishes thel letter of Theo- dore Roosevelt to Governor Baldwin of Connecticut, on the strength of which the governor decided not to prosecute his threatened suit for libel inst the colonel. In e last cam- ign _ Colonel Rooses attacked Judge Baldwin for a degfsion in a labor RN After the tion, Governor Baldwin wrote to Mr. Roosevelt sug- gesting that they settie their dif- ferences without the publicity’ inci- dent to an action at law, by submitti) the question at issue to some judge lawyer. Mr. Roosevelt declined. Governor Baldwin then submitted a draft of what he would consider a satisfactory apology. The colonel refected. Then followed the Outlook letter on receipt of which Governor Baldwin announced that, although he still held that there was an iss to the facts and the law, he had become convinced of the sincerity of Colonel Roogevelt and +ould not pro-=-A against him. If the letter, which I sent to you,” wrote the colonel, “and in which ‘1 quoted your exact language and add- ed my comments, are libelluus, then every labor leader who ventures to agitate for reform in accident law is also in danger of ifbel, and every man who in an efficient and effective, in- stead of a hadf-hearted fashion, agi- tates for refofm, will be in a very real danger of a libel suit,. provided the interest gttacked is sufficiently powerful to undertake the suit. “If your suit is brought, my politi- cal opponents may make such capital wut of it as they may choose.” Hartford, Jan. 26 —Governor Bald- win today made a statement in re- sard to letter as sfollows Governor Bald®in said that his views had been fully expressed in his correspondence with President Roose- velt and that he gid not'care to dis- cuss them otherwise. He had not-found time to give any consideration to the last letter written by the latter until in the pdes- ent month, on the eve of his inaugu- ration as governor and then came to the opinion that it would comport better with the proprieties incident to that position if he did not bring a suit which e: nce had shown him would be likely to be made the sub- Ject of wide newspaper potoriety, not 10 say sensationalism.

President Taft sent it to congress with an extend- ed message -urging the confirmation of the proposed treaty. The state department gave out a summary of the ;’rm changes provided for as fol- 01 The basis of the agreement is this: Reciprocal lists on leading food ‘products such &s -wheat and other &rains; dairy products; fresh fruits | and vegetables; fish of all kinds: egss and poultry, sheep and other live ani- mals. ¥ . “Also certain commodities now free in one eountry are to be made free by the other; such as cotton seed ofl by Canada_and rough lumber by the United States. Tin and tin plates, now datiable in both_countries, are made mutually free. Barbed wire fencing now exempted from duty by Canada, is also_exempt by the United States. Some rrw materials such as mica and jipsum. which _enter into numerous industries, are to_be made free by the United States. Printing paper is to become free on the removal of all re- strictions on the exportation of pulp wood: ‘ “Mutually reduced identical rates on secondary food products such as fresh meats, canned meats, bacon and hams, lard and lard compounds, canned vege- tables, flour, cereal preparationg and other ‘foodstuffs, partly manufactured. “Mutually reduced rates on a list of manufactured commodities which in- cludes motor vehicles, cutlery, clocks and watches, plate glass, brass band instruments, 'printing ink and - mis- cellaneous articles. “Agricultural implements, such as plows, harvesters, threshing machines and drills are reduced by Canada to the United States rates: “A” small list of articles is given special rates by each country. Cana- da teduces coal to 45 cents per ton and cement to 11 cents per hundred pounds. The United States reduces iron ore to ten cents per ton. lowers the rate on aluminim products and on Cambridge, Mass., Jan. 26.—In a con- crete grave on the shores of Lake Hal- von, Mount Auburn cemetery, there was 'laid_today a bronze casket con- taining the body of Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy, the founder of the Christian Science denomination. On the casket rested a bronze box emclosing a_com- plete set of the written works of Mrs. Eddy, together with a Tecent Christian Science_publications, while the silver plate beneath gave her name and the dates of her birth and death. The cool, winter air held, breathless when the directors of the church which Mrs. Eddy originated and & score of its strongest supporters assembled at the brink of the grave. Judge Clifford P. Smith, the reader of the Mother Church, repeated the Ninety-First Psalm and the last two verses iri Jude, both of which were read at the funer- al on December Sth last. Then the grave with its conents was sealed with - the most modern applances. Some months later the kpot will be marked by a mausoleum. Ggperal Henry M. Baker of Bow, N. H., “Mrs. Eddy’s cousin and the exe- cutor of her will, was the only member of the family in the little gathering, but it was announced that all claims to other burial places had been waived. So the church burled the body of its leader. Since the funeral eervices of Mrs. Bddy at Chestnut Hill, five days after her ‘passing away on December 3, the bronze coffin has filled a niche in the receiving tomb at Mount Auburn, with & guard beside it day and night. That guard was relieved shortly after noon today, when half a dozen carriages rolled up to the door of the tomb, and an hour later the coffin was drawn out_and placed on a hier. The bronze plate covering tiie fea- tures of Mrs. Eddy was pushed back and bne by one, the little company. gazed for the last time on the placid face of the leader. The features had scarcely changed in the seven weeks. Then the plate was rolled back in- to its final shield and eight pall bear- ers carried the coffin to the waiting hearse. s were: Will- jam Farlow, Rev. William P. McKe: zie, Lewis C. Strange, Thomas W. Hat- ten, James A. Neal, Calvin C. Hill, David B. Ogden and David N. Meeker, all of Boston. In the construction of the grave of 'Mrs, Eddy the skill of the engineers was invokad to make it impervious to desecraticn or even to decay for some centuries at léast. The coffin rests on four feet of concrete and is encased in_steel uprights. The coffin itself reposes in a little niche, and on it rests the copper box with the Christian Science literature. On top are alternate layers of concrete and steel network to the level of the turf and for a time the evergreen boughs wijl mark the spot. The grave itself 18 built for the centuries. * _EX-MISSIONARY KILLED. She Had Worked For.
