JURORS OUT FIFTY-ONE HOURS NEW YORK, Jan. 9.—8ix of the eleven former directors of the New York, New Haven & Hartford rail- road, charged by the government with eriminal violation of the Sher- man anti-trust law, were found not guilty late today by the jury that for nearly three months has been trying the case. The jury disagreed on the five others. hose acquitted were D. Newton Barney, Farmingway, A. Heaton Robertson and Frederick F. Bref- ster, New Haven, and Henry K. Mc- Harg, Stamford, Conn. The Disngreements. Those on whom the jury disagreed were William Rockefeller, New York; Charles ¥, Brooker, Ansonia, Conn.; Charles M. Pratt, Brooklyn: Lewls Cass Ledyard, New York ,and’ Edward D. Robbins, New Haven. The verdict was returned at 4:30 o'clock this afternoon after fifty-one hours of deliberation, and the jury was discharged. The final vote on the five defendants upon which the jurors could.not agreed stood 8 to 4, for acquittal R. L. Batts, chief counsel for the gov- ernment, announced that he would moye for a new trial of these five. This will be done, he said, before any effort will be made to try the six other former di- rectors of the road that were indicted, but who obtained the right to be tried separately, Report Early in Day. The jurors did not reach their verdiet until after they had reported to Judge Hunt earlier in the day that they could not agree. Up to that time, noon, they had ben deliberating with a view to bringing in a verdict on the guilt or in- nonence of the defendants collectively, The court then instructed them to make further efforts to concur, and that if | they could not agree upon all, to try and reach a decision on some. The vote of the question of all at that time also stood 8 to 4 for acquittal, it was learned On returning to the jury room, the jurors renewed their discussion with the court's instruction in mind, and unani mously eliminated the six defendants that | were acquitted.

LONDON, Jan. 9.—The remaining positions held by the allies on Galli- poli peninsula have now been aban- doned with the wounding of only one man among the British and French, according to a Dritish of- ficlal statement issued tonight. This news has been.expected for sev- eral days by the keener observers of the near eastern campaign, for the retirement of the troops from Anzac and Suvla bay three weeks ago left no strategic advan- tip of the peninsula. News Shock to Many. Nevertheless the news will be received with a pang of regret by the people of |the British isles as well as the colonies. Renewed activity of various kinds noted by the Turkish officlal communications in the last few days, has presumably been in the nature of preparations for the final act of the Dardarielles tragedy, Tonight's Turkish official, covering the period from Thursday to Baturday, records the in- creasing effectiveness of reinforcements of the Turkish batteries which have been drawing in and concentrating on the allies’ remaining positions. One More Reverse. Another pang to the.British public will be caused by the announcement tonight of the loss of the battleship King Edward { V1L, which has beén blown up by a mine. The brief official statement on this sub. ject does not reveal the scene of the ac tion, and merely says that the occurred in a heavy kea, despite which the entire crew was saved ship went down, Heavy The King Edward Money Loss.

Yet the spectators everywhere viewed the train silently . { One enlivening incident, however, oc- curred at Bentheim, near the Holland frontier. There, near the end of the trip through Germany, all the members | of the expedition were to have been | searched, but the authoritics, through the | | lleutenant in charge of the train, an-| nounced that the searching had been set aside, The travellers crowded into the little station restaurant at 3 o'clock in the| morning and began cheering.
