The photograph was taken just after the lawyers had closed their arguments and the case was given the Jury Saturday. The men were then in. good spirits as they' retired to consider a verdict.

After two days of wrangling it would have been a hard matter to get the twelve men to stand together and look pleasant, for a good deal of bitterness had developed in their arguments and the men were anxious to get away from each other.

SPRINGFIELD, Feb. 17 Speaker Joe Cannon's presidential hopes will be given a killing blast tomorrow when the meeting of the Republican state central committee and the general round-up of Republican politicians Is held in the state capital, if a few ill-advised movements can be carried out. It will be nipped if a few of the Chicago Taft men can have their way, for it ls announced they are coming down with a determination to eliminate the Sucker state's favorite son entirely and make Taft first choice of the Illinois delegation.

The Chicago Taft men are said to have dropped the bars and announced an open fight on Cannon as Illinois' choice for president. What effect this will have on the down-state supporters or cannon is not Known, but the indications are for a lively time In Springfield tomorrow if these political adventurers can bring it about. The addition of several Influential Republicans to the Taft movement and the announcement of aid from one or two down state counties caused the "Taft as second choice" idea to be dismissed, and- the announcement was made that if primaries are called by the state committee fights for -Taft delegates will be made throughout the state. Fred W. TJpham.

candidate for national committeeman, and Edward J. Brundage, corporation counsel, are among those who have Joined the Chicago Taft club, and both were appoint ed to the political action committee-1 that will come to Springfield to ask the sate committee to call a primary Instead of having the delegates selected by the county committees, as had been planned. Sudden Change a Surprise. The sudden impetus of the movement, which is due to a few men, surprised even the men at the head of the club. It is re'ported that.

Tuesday when the state committee is in session a noon day mass meeting will be held at the Grand opera house which will open the Taft campaign. The movement for Secretary Taft, which began in a plan to keep-Illinois in line for Taft as second choice after Speaker Cannon and is' now spread to have instructed Taft delegates, has been begun, it is said, against the expressed desire of President Roosevelt and Mr. Taft.Presldent Roosevelt is said to have told Thomas D. Knight, president of the Hamilton club and a strong Taft man personally, that he did not wish any contest In a state where a "native son" was being supported. Recently the officers of the Chicago Taft club said that nothing had been heard from Secretary Taft to stop the move ment, and that unlesss such word was received beforehe- meeting of the state committee there would be no chance of preventing a contest between the Taft and Cannon men at tne pri maries'.

It is said the Chicago Taft boomers will present a resolution to the state committee asking that primaries be held in each congressional district to decide on Illinois choice In the com inir national convention. Their resolu tion declares that any other way of selecting the delegates than by pri mary would not be In keeping with Republican principles. Delegations from Peoria and Quincy, also, it is said, will ask that delegates be selected by primary instead of being' named hv countv committees. An attempt will be made, according to these boomers, to organize an lra nroniDtu round-up of Republican lead ers before Chairman calls the committee meeting tomorrow morning and the matter will likely be well threshed out. What the result will be can not be foretold, but the chances are that better council will previl.

Taft stands well in Illinois with all the Cannon men and no friend of Cannon has any objection to the second choice movement. It -follows, therefore, that this movement to eliminate Cannon and his friends Is the worst thing that could happen for Taft and it is little wonder that he objects to It. It is bad business and bad business is bad poll-tics. What the party needs ls harmony, -a thing that men who engage in such moves as this do not consider. CHUMS TO GREET BRYAN.

17. The jury in the Snell case was discharged in the circuit court by Judge W. G. Coch ran at 3 o'clock this afternoon, and the sensational case will be tried again In May. After deliberating upon verdict for forty-six hours, during which time more than 10.0 ballots were taken, the jurors were called before Judge Cochran.

They informed him that it would be impossible for them to arrive at a decision. Each man was asked his opinion as to an agreemen being reached and each replied that from the 'existing state of affairs veraict could not be reached, even though they were given an indefinite period of time In which to arrive at a verdict. Four Could Not be Moved. According to the record kept by Charles Wilson, eight" jurors were in favor of breaking the will and four were for upholding the instrument through theentlre deadlock. The first vote taken showed the following jurors in favor of breaking the will: Rice, Forbes, Bartlett, Halsey, Armstrong, Musson.

Tackett and Pennington. The jurors in favor of the will-as it stands were Perryman, Wilson, Marks and Lighthall. "I do not think It would be poslble for us to arrive at a verdict even though we were given another week in which to decide," said Monroe Pen nington the foreman of the jury and the. man who listened to the pathetic appeal of Judge G. K.

Ingham in his closing argument to the jury, with the tears streaming down his face. Jnrora Showed. Tempera. From the manner of the different members of the body, it was evident that there was considerable feeling displayed among them in trying to impress upon each other the views each had taken In regard to the con dition of Col. Thomas Snell's mind at the time he made his will.

The will In question, which cut Dick Snel the only living son of the testator, off with an annuity of but 850, was dis cussed at great length by. the jury men in trying to arrive at a "verdict Every letter from Mrs. E. A. Hamil ton.

whose love notes to the eccentric millionaire were the ouly ones of hundreds to be admitted in evidence, in addition to the bank bqoks. Inventories, and all documents admitted to evidence, were read by the jurymen several times In their attempt to solve the question of the condition of Col Snell's mind at the time the will was written. Sent Them Back Once. The Jurymen were first called before Judge Cochran at nine o'clock this morning and asked If they had ar rived at a verdict. Upon being informed that they had not, and that there was little prospect that they would, the court ordered them to return to the jury room and consider the case further.

They wera given until 3 o'clock to arrive at a decision, at which time they were to be discharged If they had failed to do so. All showed plainly the effects of their long confinement. Unshaven and exhausted they looked at the court with sleepy eyes that made a mute appeal that they be discharged. Being powerless to help them, the judge ordered them to return and ballot again, but the result was the same. When the Jurors were finally releas ed from their confinement.

Judge Cocn ran thanked them for their efforts in attempting to arrive at a decision. He also thanked the attorneys on both sides of the case for their patience In wnitine- until the case could be finished after a delay of thro weeks brought about by his illness. Attorney a. j. Sweeney thanked the court in return for ail the attorneys in the case for his effort to complete the trial of the case in which so many painful and sensational incidents developed; The attorney also thanked the jury for their attention at the trial and their attempt to decide a cese which staggers thinking men In the solution of it.

It was the wish of all parties connected with the suit that a verdict might be returned by the Jury, as the trouble and expense of another trial ls no small item. The fact that no mater which way the case might have been decided, it would have been appealed to the supreme court for a final hearing, makes the failure of the Jury more lamentable. The second trial of the $2,000,000 case will be taken up at the May term of the court. DRUCE WITNESS NOW IN ASYLUM Caldwell, Alleged Perjurer, Adjudged to Ba a Paranoiac. NEW YORK, Feb 17.

S. NAVY SECOND TO NONE, FINDS CONVERSE Equal of Any, Man for Man, Gun for, Gun, and Ship for Ship. vc A CTTT-vnTrxr 7 -CiK IT Sf r. lui wm 0111 -ivi fn- mnn ship, the American navy is second to none in the world, according to the report of Admiral Converse's investiga-suit of Admiral Converse's Investiga tion is made public by Sect. Metcalf at the direction of Pres.

Roosevelt, who finds much satisfaction In the analy sis, which he, regards as an effective answer to the critics. This report was prepared primarily to satisfy the president as to the ex act state of our naval ships compared with those of other navies, and its publication is authorized with the de sign to reassure the American sailors as to the quality of the weapons with which they must go to battle. While it is regarded as desirable that our navy shall not be underrated abroad and that the American people shall know the conditions under which their ships were designed, it ls even more essential, in the judgment of the president and the naval officials, that the men who are to man the ships shall not have their moral courage sapped or weakened 'by the "slightest doubt of the fact that they have as serviceable and efficiant weapons the sailors of any other navy in the Tnke Defects Into Account. Another purpose of the publication is to make clear the fact that the volun tary critics of our navy have spoken and writtenvin a half light; that the officers who designed our ships were aware of many defects of ships in foreign navies which have been unduly praised as perfect examples of naval architecture. In designing our own ships these defects were taken Into account and avoided while every effort was made to embody the best and most modern native ideas as well as those which the experience of foreign navies have shown to be sound.

"It ls not claimed that mistakes have not been made," says Admiral Converse, "or that our ships are without faults; but In view of the then state of the art of battleship building this fact is not to be wondered at. It, Is remarkable that the mistakes were so few and that none were really serious. In this re- srject our record will compare favora bly with that of foreign services." In the ninety-one pages wnien me admiral devotes to the defense of the navy the subjects dealt with include battle drills, free-board of American ships, heights of gun positions, torpedo defense guns, battleship armor, turret designs, ammunition hoists, in and out turning screws, Kearsarge and Kentucky, and general notes. Perfect Wnrhlp Impomlble. "We have," he says, "made compro mises In our designs of battleships.

because- It ls impossible to construct a perfect battleship. Such, compromises have, perhaps, detracted from the desired perfect ship in some respects, but at the same time have made it possible to improve upon, some other exist ing disadvantage, and, on the, whole. the compromises, each and all, have tended towards a nearer approach to the desired perfect finality. Other nations have labored and will, like ourselves, continue to labor, under this same difficulty in endeavoring to approach as near as possible to that impossibility a perfect battleship. Tha aualltv of the material oi our navv is inferior to none; in quantity of vessels alone we are lacking.

With an increase In the number of ships the American navy will have been sup-nlled the only feature necessary to make It second to none in all that tends toward fighting efficiency, and when the stress of actual combat, if such should ever unfortunately come, brings the only really practical test, our country need have no misgivings or fear but that our battleships will give, an excellent account of themselves and prove theniselves all that we have designed them for and know them to be."

17. The re publican members of the committee on banking and currency entered today on a series of conferences by which it is hoped to reach an agreement regard ing the recommendation to the house of a currency bill at this session. A feeling exists among the members that the country financial system, em bracing the fluctuations of national prosperity is the issue on which the coming presidential campaign will be fought, and that the sort of currency bill to be passed at the present session of congress will determine, in a great measure, the shape of the financial plank to be inserted in the republican platform at Chicago. The republican members of the com mittee are, therefore, very anxious to go before the house with an unbrok en front in reporting favorably a currency bill. It is the general under standing that the democratic members of the committee will submit a minority report recommending the pass age of the minority currency bill in troduced recently by Representative Williams of Mississippi, no matter whether the republicans finally agree to recommend the Fowler bill or some other measure in its place.

The provision went out on a point of order, although a new one was adopted declaring the appropriation not available for the compensation of any persons Incapacitated for per forming tne service lor which tney are employed. Tawney took oocaslon to remark that the original provision of the bill was riot directe'd at superannuated clerks or employes, but only at those who, regardless of age, had become incapacitated.
