JURORS UNABLE TO DECIDE FATE OF MRS. KNAPP Hopeless Deadlock Ends in Discharge; Retrial Set for May 21. BY PERCY B. SCOTT United Press Staff Correspondent ALBANY, N. Y., May 9.—The second trial of Mrs. Florence E. S. Knapp, former Secretary of State, on a charge of larceny, which grew out of her administration of the $1,200,000 census fund, will begin May 21. The rst trial ended at midnight last night, with the jury reporting itself hopelessly deadlocked. The twelve men had the case under advisement approximately seven and a half hours and Justice Stephen H. Callaghan, after questioning each man individually, ordered them discharged and set the date for the retrial. Reports indicated the jury was about evenly divided between the innocence and guilt of the middle aged woman, first of her sex to reach a high elective office in the State Government. Affected by Outcome Mrs. Knapp was in the courtroom when the jury reported. She had been extremely optimistic while the jury remained out, but was visibly effected when the foreman reported *by could not decide on her guilt or inpocence. Before the opening of the trial Mrs. Knapp said she was certain of acquittal and wanted to use this method of vindicating herself and also vindicating women in politics. It had been a trying day for the former secretary. She had heard the opposing argument, heard her defense called brazen, and then had listened to Justice Callaghan’s (forty-three-minute charge. Urged Honest Verdict In this charge the justice had stressed the fact that the jury should not sidestep “a disagreeable duty,” if that became necessary, and urged an honest verdict. The charge Mrs. Knapp was tried on was for diverting a check for more than $2,500, drawn to the account of her step-daughter, Miss Clara Knapp. This charge was one of the twelve indictments voted by a special grand jury. Miss Knapp was the principal State witness against her stepmother, and in the course of the trial Mrs. Knapp testified that her stepdaughter had spoken untruthfully about the Census Bureau administration.

STRONG LOBBY FIGHTS SHOALS BILL, UP TODAY Defeat Feared for Norris Measure, as Result of Intensive Drive. By C. J. LILLEY WASHINGTON,' May 9. Attempts to canvass each member of the House and persuade him to vote against the Norris bill for government operation of Muscle Shoals have been made by the fertilizer lobbyists, Congressmen said today. The Norris bill conies up for consideration with more lobbyists In Washington than ever have been here before, according to Representative Gamor, Texas. Traveling around the House office building in Paris, these representatives of the fertilizer interests urged rejection of the bill, on the ground that it would not benefit the farmers. Power lobbyists are exerting all pressure at their command against the measure as well, Garner and others said. The bill comes up for consideration when the House opens today with its strongest advocates fearful of the outcome. Predictions of its defeat were being made, because it is coming up on a calendar day. which gives opportunity for a filibuster to prevent final vote. If no vote is had today, the bill will be taken up on another calendar day next Wednesday. Representative Garrett of Tennessee is fighting the Cove Creek clause in the bill and is believed to have lined up considerable opposition through his position as minority floor leader. Garrett wants the Cove Creek clause amended or stricken out entirely.

Washington Sts., where over a hundred people visit him daily to find out for themselves about this surprising new compound. Many druggists in this section declare that nothing like Konjola was ever known to the public before. This medicine is helping thousands of men and women who were never benefited by any remedy or treatment before. This accounts for the great number of voluntary indorsements by the people of Indianapolis. Just a few days ago Mr. Terry Hockersmith, 136 W. New York St., this city, made the following statement about Konjola: “I can tell the world that I feel like anew man since taking Konjola,” said Mr. Hockersmith. “I was certainly surprised to get such results from one small remedy after spending a fortune on other treatments and getting nothing for , the money I spent. My main trouble was a heavy feeling in the stomach, which was followed by gas and terrible pains, which seemed to settle in the pit of my stomach. I could not sleep but a few minutes at a time. I was always tired, sluggish and dizzy. My bowels were very inactive and I was troubled with headaches. This trouble kept getting worse and worse until I hardly knew what to do. “My mother first began taking Konjola for a trouble similar to mine and in a short time her entire system was very much improved. After seeing what this medicine was doing for her, I decided I would try it, and that decision proved to be worth very much to me. As the results I have obtained, you can judge for yourself. I eat what I want without suffering any pain, my bowels are regular, the headaches are gone, I sleep like a top, the tired, sluggish feeling is gone andUhe heaviness in my stomach is a thing of the past. I give all the credit to Konjola for this wonderful relief. I highly recommend this medicine to all sufferers, as it has proven to be a blessing to humanity in our city.” The Konjola Man is at the Hook Drug Store, Illinois and Washington Sts., Indianapolis, where he is daily meeting the public and introducing and explaining the merits of this remedy.—Advertisement.

HICKMAN GETS NEW LEASE ON LIFE BY APPEAL Challenge to Legality of Conviction Delays Execution. By United Press • SACRAMENTO, Cal.. May 9. William Edward Hickman, confessed murderer of 12-year-old Marion Parker, will have at least twenty more days to live. The State Supreme Court, to which the youthful slayer’s attorneys carried a fight for his life Tuesday, granted the delay after hearing arguments involving the constitutionality of the law under which Hickman was sentenced to hang. The court gave Maj. Walter K. Tuller, Los Angeles attorney and chairman of the California crime commission,which drafted the law, ten days in which to file a brief supporting its constitutionality. It then granted Hickman's attorney ten days more in which to file an answer to Tulier's opinions. Hickman's span of life eventually may amount to a month, it was believed, since the court’s final decision probably will not be made

until ten or more days after both briefs are filed. The law involved in the contitutionality dispute is that which permitted Hickman to plead ’“not guilty by reason of insanity.” Mr. and Mrs. Robert Lyall of Melbourne, Australia, delegates to the recent Disciples of Christ convention at Columbus, Ohio, will be guests of honor tonight at a dinner at the Central Christian Church.
