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.

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.

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

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."
Most respectfully yours,
JESSE J. LYBARGER.

Allies' Line Is Said
to Have Been Maintained
By Associated Press
Paris, Oct. 20, 2.54 P. M.—The
French official communication given
out this afternoon says that yesterday
the French line between Nieuport and
Dixmude was maintained.
The text of the communication fol
lows:
"During the day of yesterday our
position along the general line be
tween Nieuport and Dixmude was
maintained. The German forces which
crossed the Yser between those two
towns have not been able to progress.
Our front was held also in the region
I between Ypres and Koulers, between
Armentieres and Mile, to the west of
| I.a Bassee and of Lens, and to the east
;of Arras. This line is continued to
the south by line which already has
been indicated by these dispatches.
During the fighting of recent days the
enemy seems to have sustained con
siderable losses.
"Russia: To the west of the Vistula
and to the north of the Pltca river,
the Germans have been forced back
on Lowlcz, Skiernlewice and Rawa,
i which have been captured at the bay
i onet point by the Russians.
| "To the south of Pitca in the direc
tion of Kadom there has been a lively
engagement between the Russians and
i the Austro-Germans who lost prison
ers and cannon.
"To the south o'f Solre the Russian
troops crossed the Vistula by main
force, driving the Austrians back. On
■the river San and to the south of
Przemysl there have occurred stub
born combats resulting favorably to
the Russians. An Austrian column
debauching from the Carpathians on
Dolina in Galicia 22 miles to the
south of Strypy was routed."

CLAIRVOYANT HAD
STRANGE "POWERS"
WILL CASE SHOWS
Prevented Electrical Storm From
Occurring in Midwinter,
Court Learns
When Mrs. Martha Adams dreamed
pleasant dreams of star-studded mooh
lit skies and waving: green trees and
many colored flowers and luscious grass
and silvery brooklets and birds singing
In the throe-tops and lowing cows and
bleating sheep and so on, Harrison
Seiferd was the only person that could
tell her what it was all about.
And when Mrs. Adams dreamed
rather unpleasant dreams of a sudden
change of scenery and weather, Mr.
Seiferd was also the sole personage of
her acquaintance who had an explana
tion for that.
This was developed to-day at the con
tinued hearing before Register of Wills
R. C. Danner of the contested will of
Mrs. Adams. Mrs. Arlams had bequeath
ed most of her $12,000 estate of Mr.
Seiferd. The regular heirs, who will
not get more than SSOO apiece out of it.
are protesting against the probation of
the will. They contend that Seiferd, an
alleged clairvoyant, unduly influenced
Mrs. Adams.
Stayed Kleetrlcnl Storm* f
Willie some of the witnesses told of
Mrs. Adams' exchange of confidences in
which she told ol' her good and bad
dreams and of how she relied unon
Seifert for an Interpretation, other
witnesses told of Selferd's methods of
staying electrical storms, emptying
cellars of water, and so on.
Mrs. J. C. Rummler told of the storms
and the cellar water.
One time her husband had paid
Seiferd SIOO for a storm-staying
"force" or "power." This power, con
tained in a bag, was placed over the
roof during the week between Christ
mas and New Year's Day. There were
no electrical storms that week.
For weeks the Rummlers had been
annoyed with an overflow of sewer
water in their cellar. This was due. it
appeared, to a lack of sewer facilities.
Seiferd, however, said he'd settle the
problem In a jiffy and he poked a
power bag" several times on the cellar
floor.
For several days there was no per
ceptible abatement of the vjatcrflow. In
the interval the city extended its sewer
facilities past tile Rummler house. Then
the overflow ceased.
Federal Reserve Banks

Confidence was expressed that the

This Is General Villareal, who in all probability will be chosen president
of Mexico, having been nominated by the military convention composed of
H'arranza and Villa sympathizers at Aguascallentes. He has been one of the

this time he is governor of Xuevo Leon. By tho choice of Villareal General
Villa and General Carranza are both eliminated from the coming election.
Villa has succeeded in doing what he has long aimed at —keeping Carranza

WIFE'S LOVE FOR
POLITICS GETS HER
ON DIVORCE LIST
Ardent Suffragette Wanted "Wider
Sphere/' She Tells Her
Husband
Mrs. Jane Hunter's love of politics
and a desire for a wider sphere of
activity were the snags that interfered
with the smooth sailing of the Hunter
matrimonial ship, and eventually;
swamped it on the rock of the Dau
phin county divorce court, according
to Robert L. Hunter, the libellant, to
day.
Hunter's action was one of just!
fifty cases listed for October term and
was heard before President Judge
Kunkel. Hunter, who is a traveling
salesman for one of the big firms
which has branches in various parts
of the world, said he had been mar
ried in 1909. In 1912 he returned
front a ten-day trip to rind irts win
missing—and a drayman loading the
household furniture on a wagon. That
was the first tip, he had had, he said,
of his wife's intended desertion.
Hunter said he had been abroad for
a while in an effort to establish a
branch agency in London, but the reg
ular war—the clash of the. powers of
Europe—had made it advisable for
him to return.
In For That Suffrage Stuff
I Mrs. Hunter was a college girl.
Hunter said, and was dissatisfied ap
parently at the circumstances in which
they were required to live. Both of
her sisters had married wealthy men.
Mrs. Hunter at an early date went in
for politics and was an ardent suffra
gette. her husband explained to the
court: her often expressed desire had
been for a wider sphere of life.
