THAW JURY DISAGREED. Seven Stood for Murder and Five for Acquittal. Carnegie Greets a Namesake Negrc Gets Naval Appointment Train Plunges Into Lake significance ot Arbor Day Opening of the Great Peace Congress. Hopelessly divided seven for 8 verdict of guilty of murder In the first degree und five for acquittal od the ground of insanity the Jury which since the 23rd of lust January had been trying Harry K. Thaw reported lute on Friday after 47 hours and elghl minutes of deliberation, that it could not possibly agree upon a verdict. The 12 nioii were promptly dis charged by .Justice Fitzgerald, who de clared that ho, too, believed theli task hopeless. Thaw was remanded to the Tombs without ball to await a (second trlul on the charge of having murdered Stanford White, the noted architect. When this new trial would take place no one connected with the case could express an opinion. District Attorney Jerome declared that there were many other persons accused of homicide awaiting trial and that Thaw would have to take his turn with the rest. As to a possible change ol venue, both the district attorney and counsel for Thaw declared they would make no such move. Thaw, when he had returned to the Tombs, prepared and issued the fol lowing statement: "I believe that every man In tne Jury possessing average Intelligence, excepting possibly Mr. Bolton, com prehended the weight of evidence and balanced It for acquittal. All my family bid me good bye with courage. I trust (D. V.) we may all keep well." To his attorneys Thaw said he was deeply disappointed. "But I could hardly expect anything else In view ol the events of the past few days," he added. Earlier In the day Thaw had Issued another statement In which he sail he had desired that his fate should be judged upon the "written" laws of the Btate of New York. He declared that he believed that the evidence adduced had convinced even District Attorney Jerome of his innocence under the strict letter of the law. The first vote vas 8 to 4 In favor of conviction. Then the 12 tried to reach unanimity upon a verdict of manslaughter in the first degree, the maximum punishment for whlcn Is 20 years imprisonment. The men In fa vor of acquittal largely on the ground of Insanity, it is said would not change their ballots and in the end won over one of the eight who had fa vored conviction. During the nearly 48 hours of delib eration' only eight ballots were cast. The jury spent the two night sessions dozing In their chairs. The final ballot taken just before the Jury reported its disagreement in court was as follows: For conviction of murder In the first degree Messrs. Demlng B. Smith, foreman; George Pfatf, No. 2; Charles II. Fecke, No. 3; Harry C. Brearly, No. C; Charles D. Newton, No. 8; Joseph B. Bolton, No. 11, and Bernard Gerstman, No. 12. For acquittal on the ground of in sanity Messrs. Oscar A. Pink, No. 4; Henry C. Harney, No. 6; Malcolm S. Eraser, No. 7; Wilbur F. Steele, No. 9, and John S. Denne, No. 10. Mr. Bolton is the juror whose wife died during the trial while the jury was being kept under lock and key. Laird Greets His Namesake.

When the train struck the broken rail five tourist cars near the middle of the train broke loose and rolled down the embankment. One of the cars was entirely submerged. The other four stopped closer to the shore and were only partly covered by wa ter. The latter caught fire and the passengers imprisoned in a mass ot wreckage were burned to death. One man was pinned by the feet be twen two coaches and slowly roasted to death, although the rescuers work ed until their clothing caught fire in an effort to free him In time to save his life. Opening of Peace Congress. A choral service, a fitting prelude to the first National Arbitration and Peace congress, that will hold sessions Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, was held In Carnegie hall, New York, Sun day night, and if numbers and en thusiasm count for anything, the pro moters of the peace movement must have been gratified. Around the back and sides ot the stage on which were the speakers and the 300 voices of the Oratorio society, was draped a great white curtain on which were golden stars. Along il were grouped American banners, flags and emblems with an arrange ment at the center where there were white, banners bearing the legend ol the peace fraternity, "Peace for all nations." Over this the word "Peace" flared in lighted electric bulbs. After several selections by the Or atorlo society accompanied by the full orchestra led by Frank Damrosch the great audience rose and sang the hymn "God ot Our Fathers."

Woodruff for the opening of a highway across state land to permit access to Mr. Woodruff's property in Township 4, Totten and Crossfield purchase, Hamilton county, near Racquette lake, where Kamp KUlkare Is located. A first application made by Mr. Woodruff upon the ground of public necessity was denied, on the ground that Mr. Woodruff had access to his property through another highway. The question has never been settled by the courts and the order of the commissioner will undoubtedly be re viewed. Significance of Arbor Day.

China Recovera Rossesslon of That Vast Domain Baron Goto, Manager of Manchurian Railway 6ays Last Vestige of War Has Been Removed. Open to All Nations. St. Petersburg, April Id. The ex piration of the 18 months limit for the (vncuatlon of Manchuria by the Rus sian and Japanese troops was marked by the nomination yesterday of Rus sian consuls at Klrin and Tsltlshar, the last two towns in Manchuria to pass from Russian hands to the Chi nese civil administration. The evacu ation of the Russian troops was com pleted March 21, almost a month ahead of the specified date. An official of the foreign office, com menting on Russia's premature with drawal, said: "It is a complete justification ot Russia's good faith in fulfilling the treaty. It was insinuated when the treaty was signed that Russia never would abandon Manchuria but would find some means of evading her obli gations. Rut the expiration of the stipulated period finds not a single s61dier of the Russian military estab lishment left In Manchuria. The rail road guards, approximately 8,000 men, as provided for by the treaty, are com manded by General Chlcagoff and are attached to the ministry of railroads and not to the war ministry. The functions of the guards are confined strictly to the railroad. The policing of the country and the repression of the Chinese bandits have been turned over to the Chinese troops. "Though the final results of the Russian negotiations with China for the re-establlshment of the Chinese customs houses and with Japan for treaties of commerce and fisheries, which will round out the Portsmouth treaty, have not been attained, both negotiations are proceeding satisfac torily." Count Wltte, the negotiator of the Portsmouth treaty, has now with drawn almost entirely from public life, except in the minor role of a member of the council of the em pire. When questioned regarding the evacuation of Manchuria, he said he was out of touch with diplomatic af fairs, but the prompt evacuation of the Chinese territory was no surprise to him. He always had been con vinced that Russia's promises would be promptly and fully carried out. JAPANESE TROOPS GONE. China Expresses Thanks In a Note to the Tokio Government. Toklo, April 16. The work of with drawing the Japanese troops from Manchuria was completed April 8 and China has therefore expressed her hearty appreciation of the fact In a note to the Japanese government. Baron Goto, to the management of whose company the Manchuria rail road was transferred April 1, In an in terview said: "The last vestige of war in Man churia has now been removed. Fair play. Is my guiding principle. In pro moting the peaceful development of Manchuria, through which our rail way runs, national differences will be entirely ignored. Manchuria will be made a field for the fair competition of all nations. In order that we may carry out this principle, I crave pa tience on the part of those interested. Romember that the management of the road was only transferred to us on the first of the present month. The allowance of sufficient time will in sure the realization of our plans and we drad nothing more than impa tient interference." Leniency to Court Martlaled Admiral. St. Petersburg, April 16. Rear Ad miral NebogatofT, who commanded the Russian third Pacific squadron, which surrendered at the battle of the Sea of Japan, who was tried by court mar tial and sentenced to death but whose sentence was commuted to 10 years' Imprisonment In a fortress, has be gun to serve his term in the fortress of St. Peter and St. Paul.

Thousands Come From Out of Town to See the Wonders. Pittsburg, April 1C Thirty thous and visitors, of all classes and ages, passed , ihiough the new Carnegie In stitu ' Sunday afternoon In the four hour, it was open. All of the departments were not open, and yet It took a long walk to get through what wa actually on view. Owing to the vast spaces In the building and the constant moving of the crowds it was hard to make a close ewtimate of their numbers, but President W. N. Frew or the board of rrustees said 30,000 was conservative. Hundreds of visitors were at the doors awaiting the opening hour, and shortly after the visitors came in a constant stream. About 3:30 o'clock tho regular police guards and other at taches were unable to handle the crowd, and a telephone message was sent to the Oakland police station, asking that several policemen be sent to , the library. Sergeant "Toge" O'Nei! sent eight men and Inspector Milton nniley, Capt. Robert Emmett and Lieutenant William J. Boyle ar rived at the library soon after. All of the main departments of the Institute were open for the Inspection of tho visitors. The art gallery, hall of statuary, bronze room and museum were the chief centers' of attraction, but the visitors seemed to be there to see everything and every nook and corner was Invaded. The chief at traction appeared to be the great skel eton of the dlploducus. Hundreds of persons stood around the great pile of bones and gazed In wonderment with eyes and mouth wide open. The relief map of Pittsburg and vi cinity, made under the direction of the Pittsburg Chamber of Commerce, was another exhibit that had people five or six deep around It all afternoon. This map and case was exhibited at the St. LouIb Exposition and cost about $15,000. The map covers the territory from Duquesne to Corapolls. The magnificent gift of photographs, pictures and elaborately bound books from his majesty, Emperor William of Germany, was not on view. The gifts have not been arranged In the place selected for them. COMPARATIVE COST OF LIGHTING In Carnegie Institute, $80,000; In State Capitol, $2,000,000. Pittsburg, April 16. The fine chand eliers in fact, all the lighting fix tures, inside and out In Carnegie In stitute cost only $80,000, while those of the new state Capitol at Harris burg cost $2,000,000. An object les son was pointed by President W. N. Frew of the institute In the following conversation with a friend: Mr. Frew, pointing to the splendid chandeliers These and all the other lighting fixtures of the Institute cost only $80,000, while those of the state Capitol cost $2,000,000. The Friend But the Capitol is much larger. Mr. Frew No, It Is not much larger. I hava seen both buildings, but If it were 10 times as large as the institute the cost of lighting it, compared wtith that of the Institute, should be only $800,000; that would leave $1,200,000. The friend could not see how it would be possible for state politicians to save so much money aud the argu ment was dropped. May Be General Strike. Philadelphia. April 16. Following the vote of 5,(100 union carpenters here to go on strike for higher wages on May 1, 500 union painters have also voted to enforce their demand for an increase of 1 cent an hour.
