Gentsch sald that the company was somewhat behind in getting express matter out of Bt. Louls, but he is confident the delay will be overcome by the firat of mext. week. One difficulty the ex- press company has to face at present fs that the local ‘“combination” man who knows the combinations of incoming safes, is among the strikers.

He expressed the bellef that goods would be accepted by next Monday and order would then begin to prevall around the express offices again. W, C.

JURY Oould Not Reach Verdiot in Postal Fraud Oases at Oinoinnati. a— LAWYER ADMITS JOHNS BUNCOED RYAN In Spite of Effort to Separate Defense Ju Tells Jury Both Are In- nocent or Roth Are Guilty. CINCINNATI, Oct. 17.—11:3 p. m.—The Jury in the Miller and Johns case reported that {t was unable to agree and was dis- charged. Today's session of the trial of D. V. Miller and Joseph M. Johns was devoted to argument. During Attorney Rulison's ar- gument it was evident the defense of Miller had cut loose with that of Johns. Rulison declared It might be sald In defense of Johns that when he buncoed Ryan out of $4,600 be buncoed one who had been bunco- ing others for years, but it was injurious to connect Miller with it when the latter knew nothing of it. He held that the con- spiracy established was that of making a scapegoat out of Miller, In whose trial “gamblers and thugs' had been used as witnesses. Rulison insisted that Miller had been treated unfairly in the “sweat boxes" at Washington and held that he was not then given an opportunity to present his own case. He sald Christiancy was the judge who passed on the Ryan cases and that Miller simply appeared as the gov- efnment's attorney. The article in a Wash- ington newspaper for which the date was furnished by Clerk Huebner of the post- office department was reviewed to show that Christiancy passed on the Ryan case tavorably, instead of Miller: Charles W. Baker, as attorney for Johns, tnsisted that Miller had the fraud order issued against Ryan and afterward had the mail of Ryan & Co. held up and was really the one who was causing trouble for Johns' client, so that there could have been no understanding between Miller and Johns. In reviewing all that was done at Wash- ington, Baker sald that the indictment of Miller and Johns was due more to the in- experience of General Robb, who had re- cently been admitted to the bar, than to the identification of the defendants. He also charged that others were trying to “boost'’ themselves by the persecution of “the two country lawyers” and he charged that the stenographic notes of Watson had Peen garbled after they were taken down in a concealed corner of Bristow's office. Government Closes Cnne. District Attorney McPhefson went over the cases of Johns and Miller separately and jointly, laying speclal stress on the telegrams of Johns notifying Ryan & Co. at 8t. Louls in advance last November that the inspectors wero coming and insisting that Johns could get this information only through Miller and that Johns used it tor the purpose of securing money from Ryan. McPherson sald that Ryan never hunted for Johns. McPhereon laid most stress on the “Jim telegram” that was gent notifying Johns that a copy of the decision in the Ryan case had been malled him. McPherson sald that Johns soon afterward met Ryan in Cincinnati and delivered the decisian upon the recelpt of $4,500. Mo- Pherson closed shortly before 4 o'clock. Judge Thompson was an hour and a quarter in delivering his charge to the jury, which dld not get the case untll after § o'clock. The court pald special attention to the testimony of John J. Ryan 'and instructed the jury not to throw it aslde on account of the character of thé witness, but to give it due consideration, wherein It was corroborafed by other witnesses of docu- mentaxy evidence. The charge of the court held that there must be an overt act, and that while there was no direct testimony to show except in the testimony of Ryan, yet there was much circum- stantial evidence to that effect. The maln question for the jury to settle was wether Miller had knowledge of what took place betweeA Johns and Ryan and whether Johns was authorized .to speak for the assistant attorney in the office of the as- sistant attorney of the postoffice general department. The court told the jury that there coyld be no verdict finding one of the defendants guilty and the other inno- cent and that no prejudice should enter into their findings. It was almost 6 o'clock when the jury was allowed to go to supper. OHIO BOYS ARE IN TROUBLE Twe Arrested in Missouri for Shoot- ing Playmate with Revolver. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo, Oct. 17.—Paul Hobbs and Jacob Miller, aged 13 and 1§ years respectively, are in jail here charged With shooting John Amos, a boy living three miles west of here. Hobbs gives his address as 914 Reeves street, Lima, O., and Miller says that his parents live at 1160 Basin street, Cleveland, O. Hobbs and Miller were passing through the nelghborhood near the Amos home and stopped to play with the Amos boy. They had a revolver and they say they accldentally shot Amos while playing with the revolver. The Amos boy is in a critical condition. At first the Ohio boys gave assumed names, but later acknowledged their identity. Their parents have been notified and the boys will be held pending a reply. CONSPIRACY BY POLICEMEN Twe of Them, with Others, Sentenced Planning Against Prisoner. CHICAGO, Oct. 17.—The jury In the Hickey conspiracy case today. returned Verdicts of gullty against Joshua Tedford, Willlam Davis, David Dudenheim and Frank Cantwell. Tedford and Dudenheim were sgent to the penitentlary. Cantwell was fined $100 and Davis 0. Davis and Tedfora were policemen. The cohspiracy of which the defendants were found gullty is sald to have been natched during the middle of July, 1901 when Hickey, & young man, was arrested on & charge of burglary.

DENSE. FOG Lives of Th s Endangered by Accldent Which Oceurs in 8 ¥rancisco Bay. BAN FRANCISCO, Cal gering the lives of thousands of passen- gers, the Southern Pacific ferry steamer Newark crashed into the ferty steamer Oakland during a dense fog this morning Newark struck Oakland's aft paddle box, tearing a hole In it¢ side, but fortunately not damaging its machinery. Newark came out of the wreck with its ralls carried away at the bows. The deck fiear the apron was cut deeply by Oak- land's side. Owing to the dense fog on the bay the | boats were doing double service, the crowds on each steamer being large. Great excitement was caused. The force of the blow was such that the boat listed at least twenty degrees. After this lunge to star- board, Oakland recovered, but rolled to port when Newark backed its engines and ot clear. As Oakland rocked on the water after the crash the crowd on the lower and upper decks rushed back and forth in a fury of fright. Women fell in faint- ing fits or went into hysterics on the in- Jured steamer. On the upper deck ae eral women rushed to the rail to leap overboard, but were held back by the men. On Newark the passengers were more easily, restrained, that vessel not feeling the force of the collision as much as Oak- land. Fortunately, during the crisis, the oficers of the steamer remained cool. The cap- tains. and pilots stood at their posts in the_wheel houses and extricated the boats from their position, the mates and deck hands, with presence of mind, went about urging the crowd that there was no real danger. It was found to be almost im- possible to restrain the more excited per- sons, who let their_fears run away with them. During the half hour that followed the crew had to stand ready, fearing that any moment some foolish passenger might try to leap into the water, but despite the black fog, 8o dense the pilots could scarcely see the flag poles, both boats finally reached the slips on this side of the bay.

Don’t accept a substitute, capital and labor who had come from v rious parts of the country to discuss que tions that would aid in bringing them closer together, It was in reply to one of the speakers, ditor of & New York paper, who at the jon the day before took occasion (o tell the employers «nd employes in the eveént of a possible financial reaction not to make any unreasonable demands upon the employers, that Mr. Gompers spoke of the Karm that follow the lower Wages. President Gompers answered many of the charges made by the speakers and took particular exception to some of the state- ments made. Senator Hanna, as well as a number of other speakers, advised conservatism jn, all disputes between both sides and pralsed the elements of labor organs. Labor leaders and employes say this con- ference has done much to bring labor and capital together in an effort to establish more harmonious relations, and they ex- preased a satisfaction at what they re- garded as a right step in the right direc- tion. After the business session of the day a banquet attended by President Gompers, Senator Hanna, members of the federation, leading business men and labor leaders was held. United Btates Senator Mark Hanna pre- sided at the last session of the conference. Ex-Judge Watérman of the local branch of the federation introduced Senator Hanna, the president of the National Civig federation. Mr. Hanna spoke of the im- portance of the work engaged In and the success in bringing together capital and labor, which at first seemed to him im- possible. Much, he sald, was due to the con- servative element of labor organizations He expressed hope for the future and sald that members of the federation, who at first were reluctant to join were now the most active workers. Since his connection with an Ohio strike thirty years ago, he said, he had made up his mind there was a way to settle differences. The future of Buccess in the industrial world, the senator said, would be largely guided by the Civic federation movement which was started here four years ago. The duty of émployers was greater than of employes end the work of concillation was the great work to be done. In all great diMculties, political or otherwise, compro- mise is the only thing to bring success. The work of the federation is, he sald, a work of education and added that Baseburners less fuel—heat any others. BABEBURNERS ...31.80 Milton Rogers & Sons Co.
