PAUL, Minn., March 8 (Copy right, 1922).—‘‘Never would I allow Mrs. Preus to go through such an ordeal."” This statement by Gov. J. A. O. Preus of Minnesota has given such added velocity to the storm which has arisen here over the confinement of seven women and five men jurors for two days and two nights that it was predicted to-day there would be no more “mixed juries’ in this county. To this extent, therefore, the fight of women’s organizations for an abso- lute equality of rights with men has received a decided sethack.

The story of a tragedy of the sea dealing with a ship and thirty men TRENTON, March 8.—A jury of} lost 600 miles off the coast was brought to New York to-day by Capt. Gorgensen and Edward Hansen, wireless operator, of the Baltic-American liner Estonia, from Copenhagen, Libau and Danzig. Only six days ago, almost within sight of the bridre of the Estonia, the Danish freighter Grontoft went to the bottom of the Atlantic with all bands, and when the liner reached the scene of the tragedy there was not so much as a splinter afloat to mark ALLEGED BURGLAR, AGIANT, BEATEN .

Capt. Gorgensen was in the chart house and Hansen was in his place in the wireless room with the receivers to his ears, idly listening to the messages coming to him through the ether. He sat up as he distinguished the S OS call. Intently he listened ss the wireless operator on the Grontoft told, rapidly, almost incoherently, how the vessel had become unman- ageable in latitude 48.6 north, longi- tude 41.30 west. The Grontoft, her wireless sald, was doomed and haste in rendering ald was imperative. In two minutes Capt. Gorgensen had the message. He knew his posi- tion, It was about 48 miles east by, north of that of the Grontoft. “Tell him," said Capt, Gorgensen to Hansen, “that we are on the way, to help him From the bridge Capt.
