CHIN JURY 10 TO 2 FOR ACQUITTAL Judge Kelby Discharges Men After They Had Deliberated Thirteen Hours Special to The Telegraph Mineola, N. Y., Oct. 26.—Thirteen hours and ten minutes of the most wretched, harrowing mental torture that a woman can endure, and which has left her almost a nervous wreck, will be the full extent, in all likeli hood, that the State will ever demand of Mrs. Florence C. Carman for the killing of Mrs. Louise D. Bailey. Yesterday morning, while the church bells were ringing throughout the overcast countryside and the auto mobiles were drawing up before the edifices, with their load of worship pers, twelve drowsy, blear-eyed, un shaven men filed out of the jury room in the Nassau county Supreme Court and announced that they were unable to agree either upon a verdict of guilty or upon acquittal. Hours of wrangling, vituperation, | brow-beating and haranguing had | brought them to an absolute dead- j lock, with ten men saying that Mrs. | Carman was innocent of the crimo charged and two resolutely standing out for her conviction. Justice Charles H. Kelby, who had remained at the call of the jurymen all night, asked if there was not some point of law, some question of fact that he might instruct them on, or some doubt of the intent of the testi mony. The jurymen said there was absolutely no hope; they had discussed and cajoled, argued and fought, and they were just as far from reaching a harmonious decision as they were last midnight, when they took their third ballot, and one man, who had been for conviction, changed his mind for acquittal. The court then dis charged the jury. Council May Meet on Monday Instead of Next Tuesday to Receive Bids City Council may meet next Monday instead of Tuesday for a very, very brief session. Tuesday, as is geherally known, will l>e election day and the chances are that the week's session would have been postponed entirely had it not been that the commissioners must act on the bids for the construction of the new entrance and roadway In Reser voir Park. The proposals will be opened Monday noon by City Commis sioner M. Harvey Taylor, and, as it is desired to begin work as early as pos sible, it was deemed advisable not to let the approval of the bids go over until the following week. Aside from the bids, however. Indi cations are that there v.'ill be little else to occupy the commissioners' atten tion. The session to-morrow will also he brief, as the ordinance calendar contains no business. Gathering Up the Loot Stolen by Thieves Detective Joseph Ibach was busy to day gathering up booty alleged to have been stolen by Paul W. Schubaur and Martin Schreffler in recent rob beries. Packages containing clothing, several musical instruments and other articles have been recovered. Joseph Oshorn. another youth, who has been out of Harrisburg for some time, was arrested Saturday night as a suspect. Robert Martin, residing along the River road, was also arrested on a charge of receiving stolen goods. MRS.

MACHINE RULES TRANSCEND LAWS OF PENNSYLVANIA [Continued From First Page] of the partially allied parties, but every nomination is endangered. The opinion establishes that the leg islature of 1913 in enacting the famous primary and party regulation act wrote into law the principle of home rule or local self government and points out that the Democratic State machine arrogated to itself powers to which it had no right! While the case was started too late to strike off the nominations yet the decision will pro claim to the State that the.machina tions of the Democratic organization are without warrant of law. The decision was given In the con test of the nominations of T. Henry Walnut and C. W. T. Robinson, as Democratic candidates for the Legisla ture in the Seventeenth Philadelphia district made by the Democratic State executive committee by two Demo crats residing in the district on the ground that they should have been made by the local Democratic com mittees and not by the Democratic State executive committee. The case was presented on Friday w*hen counsel for the contestants contended that the principle of home rule had not been followed, to which counsel for the candidates rejoined that under the pri mary and party act of 1913 the State committee has authority to make rules for the government of the party in the State and that it had power to make nominations for the Legislature where vacancies occurred. The effect of the decision will leave the Democrats without any legislative candidates In this district as the time for making substitutions is too limit ed.

Points From Which German Zeppelins May Attack London •' "Kf <0 H# A 0 - j\ \ Jj \ vf / tt°°k of Ho!/and^\ tt&SV :\*.ML <* Thames Ft Nl\ Imsr / V*l i»\ v-r" —yf * »J*/ ( ! *%.. Yv t,fi.LEY+ l/£6£' % | h (? \L***V • j/ /\ Many military experts have thought the purpose of the Germans in taking Antwerp was to sweep on to the English Channel and there find a base for an attack of Zeppelins on London. If they take the north Belgian cit ies like Ghent and Ostend they may move on to the French coast and eventually take Dunkirk and Calais. The trip from Calais across to London would be very short, and it is likely if the Germans came into possession of it there woultTbe a panic in London. With the failure of the first great German rush toward Paris; when the kaiser's masses were repulsed in the battle of the Marne and driven back to the present lines, military and naval experts predicted that the next great German strategical move would be made against London. To make this move with any effectiveness a hold on the Belgian coast, while not perhaps essential, was at least highly desirable. This desideratum has now been attained, and It is reported that German submarines and torpedo boats are being transported from Kiel in pieces, like a torn-down summer cottage to the Belgian coast. None of the great ships of the kaiser's navy has so far been engaged, submarines, destroyers,.-and small cruis ers having borne the brunt of what naval action there has been in the North Sea. The recall of the marines to Kiel and the provisioning of the fleet are taken by some of the experts to denote that the time has arrived for a combined attack by the sea, submarine and air forces of the kaiser on the English coast. Dispatches from Amsterdam quote an unnamed German aviator as saying that Germany's aerial invasion of England will be made in February. While there may lie occasional raids before that time, the general assault by Zeppelin and aeroplanes, he says, will not begin until then because Germany will not be ready earlier. Forty-six Zeppelins will then be ready, it is said. This aviator is quoted as saying that Germany is bu tiding 200 aeroplanes of a new and very large type, espe-cially for the attack on London. These machines, he s ays, will be capable of carrying 1,000 pounds besides theaviator and bomb thrower. Aviators are now being tral ned to operate them. Orders Were Given by Germans to Execute All Prisoners of War By Associated Press Washington,. Oct. 26.—The French | embassy to-day Issued the following i statement: "The report appeared in the press some time ago, according to which i General Stenger, commanding a bri- J gade of the German army in France, j had issued an order to his troops pre scribing to them to give no quarter to any prisoners, but to shoot them all and to finish the wounded. "An official statement from Berlin, via Sayville, was issued thereupon de claring that this was an 'impudent lie.' "The atrocious order had, never- | theless, really been given and carried j out, and proof of it is in the hands of the French government. Over twenty I German prisoners of the 112 th and | 142 nd regiments of infantry (forming the Stenger brigade) are now held in France at Mont Brison and St. Etienne. They have declared, under oath, before the magistrate, that this order was actually issued and that in accordance with it, all French wound ed found that day were at once dis patched. Officers and notably Cap tain Curtius personaly, of the 112 th regiment, superintended the execu tion." LEWIS EGOLF DIES Lewis Egolf, aged 32 years, died vest<*rday at the Harrlsburgh Hos pital. Kir. Egolf was paymaster at the Ilarrisburg Pipe and Pipe Bending Works, and was lohg a member of the West End Gun Club. Funeral services will be held from the home of Mrs. George Jeffries, a sister, 520 | Forrest street. Burial will be made in the East Harrisburir Cemetery, the Rev. A. S. Williams officiating. 1 IFTTERSTOTHL EDITOR I liYBARGER'S RKPI-Y To the Editor of the Telegraph: in order to correct any wrong im pression that may have found lodg ment in the minds of any who have l read Mr. Wlldman's speech of last I Thursday evening, 1 submit the fol-l lowing: Jesse J. Lybarger, Democratic can didate for the Legislature, personally appeared before me, an alderman, and made the following solemn statement, as hereinafter specified: " 'The assault and battery cases, re ferred to by my opponent, Mr. Wild man, were the outcome of an alterca tion in getting possession of a sewing machine. This occurred about fifteen years ago and is as follows: The ma chine had been left for approval by an agent working under my supervision. Not one penny had peen paid, either as rental or purchase money, yet the | persons with whom it was left refus ed to surrender up the machine to the said agent. It then became my duty to secure the company's property, if possible. In doing so not a hand was raised to either the man or woman mentioned in the cases. Two people tugged slightly at one end of the ma chine, while 1, at the other end, pulled it through the hallway and out of their possession. " 'The suits at law (bath cases men tioned by Mr. Wildman) cover one and the same transaction, and, to the best of my recollection and belief, are sub stantially as above set forth. Further, to the best of my knowledge and be lief, the company's attorney in the cases received a check with which to pay all costs and charges. (Slgntd) 'JESSE L LYBARGER.' "Subscribed to in my presence and sworn to this 20th day of October, 1814. "FRITZ KKAMME, "Alderman." Personally I have nothing at all against Mr. Wildman. In his public capacity I oppose him. A public offi cial is but a public servant and is at all times open to public criticism. I, therefore, referred to the fact of Mr. Wlldman's opposing, by his voice and vote, upon the floor of the House in the last Legislature, the reading of \ that Book of books—the Holy Bible — in our public schools, and his sup porting a hunters' license bill in oppo sition to the wish of a large per cent of those directly interested. Out of more than seven thousand hunters (representing nearly as many fami lies) that took out license In Dauphin county last year, and wore branded with as many tags, I am assured that at least ninety per cent, of these op pose a hunters' license. Mr. Wildman also opposed local op tion. I stand for It. The The Tele graph also stands for local option. It endorsed it editorially on May 29, 1914, closing the article in these wordß: "It is so congenial to basic principles of democracy that it is not easy to understand how the Legisla ture can longer refuse to submit the ouestlon to the people."
