PUZZLED SOME MORE.
Agaln yesterday at 11 o'clock tho jury
met ln tho Hustlngs Court. Almost imrae
illntely tho men were sent tn tho jury

a blt moro over a verdict. It was during
this sesslon that the mombers tlred of tho
case and the evldence, and deBpalred
of ever gettlng a verdict.
Thls was the slatus throughout tho
nfternoon, until just beforo 7 o'clock,
when the last ballot was taken. Then
Mr. Pizzinl and Mr. Brown changed tholr
votes, ns dld tho man on tho fonce. All
?were for convlctlon. maklng a tlo voto.
With such a conditlon existlng, the Jury
were flled back into the court room at
?" o'clock. Judgo Ingram addressed thom,
and asked lf a verdict had been reached.
Mr. Greentreo, tho' foroman and spokes
mnn, said that there was tibsolutely no
chance of an agreement, even though tho
men wero hold togather for a contury.
LET THEM GO.
Judge Ingram sald that If thls was
the caso ho could seo no further good to
be accompllshed by holdlng the jury, so
he dlschargod thom. But bofore doins
bo he ordered Mr. Brown to stand aslde,
and he was dlscharged alono. Thls ls a

Judgo Ingram lmmadlatoly doolared a

Thls was readlly furnlshed, and on tho

(By Asjoelated Prots.)
WASHINGT.ON,' March 3.?Two Inter?
estlng and slgnlflcant' consnunlcatlo-ns
were recoivod ,tO-day nt the Navy De
portment from tho European station. One
was from Rear-Admlral Aront Sohuyler
Crowlnshiold, commandlng tho European
Squad ron, asklng to bo placed on .the
retlred I llst of the navy un-or the pro?
visions of tho personnol iaw. The other
was from Lleutenant Honry H. Ward,
naval socretary tb Admlral Crownlh
shleld, rosigning hls commlsslon ln tho
naivy.
Prompt actlon was taken by Beorotary
Moody ln regard to tho caso of- Rear
Admlral Crowlnshleld, and It was de?
clded to rellevo hlm from active duty at
once, ln order that he mlght come homt*
or vlslt European capltals, whlch ever
ahould bo hls doalro. Hls appllcatlon for
rctlremont undoubtedly wlll be granted.
Rear-Adhilral Charles S. Cotton,. com
rnandant of tho havy-yar'd at Norfolk,
Va., was asslgned lo tho commarid of the
squadron, and wlll relinqulsh hls present
duty at once and start for Europe as soon

posod of the crulser Chlcago, fltigshlp; the
protooted crulsers, Albany and ClnclnnafT,
the crulser Ralolgh, and tho guuboat
Machtas.
The Navy Department contented Itsolf
at flrst wlth the brlef statamont of the
Admlral's appllcatlon for retlrement wlth?

ENTIRELY lM'PERSONAI*
The clrcumstances undor whlch he came
to bo deprtved(of thls shlp, ono of the
latest nnd most tormldable ln thls or
any other naivy, were entirely lmper
sonal. Tlio genoral board of whlch Ad?

the creatlon of a magnlflcont squadron of
Irop-.clads of tho flrst typo to constltute
tho "Homo Squadron," guardlng tho At-.
lnntic and Gulf coasts as tho famous
Brltlsh "Chnnnel Squadron"' forms a flrst
wall of dofonse ln lhat country. It was
necessary ln tho judgroent of' the board,
in order to mako thls tleet ot tho neces?

vlew, to Include tha lllinols. Moropver,
such battleshlps aro nc-lther sffectlve nor
economlcal aB crulsers, and the lllinols
wns dolng that sort of <hity In Europe.
,So carrylng out Its general pollcy, and
wlthout rogard to /personal foollngx, the
Navy Department asslgned Admlral
Crowlnshleld to command the Chlcago,
and kept tho lllinols on the North At

not care to go back to tho Medltterrean,
and to the ports. ot Northern Europe,
whero hls flng had floatsd over tho bat

If by that tlme ho stlll refused, a strlke

oured a restralning order from tho court
and It had beon served on all the offlclals
of all the orders and members of the
Grlevance Commlttees. The Injunctlon
was a most swooplng lnstrument and of
fectually blocked any strlke proceedlngs.
In part It roads:
"We thorefore do strlotly command

hours after the Injunctlon proceedlngs,
President Ramsey sent to tho Grlevance
Commlttees hls reply to tholr letter, prac?
tlcally rojectlng all thelr demands. J.eav

foellng or fatlgue.
Monnwhlle the Pope proceeded! slowly
on, what seemed a carpot of heads, ab
sorblng the entlro attentlon of the vast
throng.
When the Popo arrlved at the throne
tho oeromony proceeded rapidly. Leavlng
the sodla gostatorlo, tho Pontlff knelt
and prayed and then roso wlthout asslBt
anco.idonned the falda and the now trlple

When the Pope roturnod to the Vatlcan

Among the many cases brought to the

It was calculatod that there wore about

"Tho prlnclpal cause of trouble was the
situation of the slnks, whlch wero out of

Tho number of men allowed aehora al

The Mayor and Mr. Crenshaw
on Street-Car Money.
ACTION OF POLICE BOARD
Tho Voto Mossage of Mayor Taylor
Whlch Was Road ln tho Com?
mon Councll on Mon-'
day Evenlng.
Growlng out of the voto of Mayor Tay?
lor tipon ttho ordinanca recently passed
hy the Councll and' tho Board to author
lze the purchaso of stiOlclent tlokots to
transport members of both bodles on tho
street cars, and tho subsoquont action of
tho Common Councll in passtng the mattor
ovor tho head of the Mayor, lt dovolopa
that thore ls a dlfterer=o ot opinion be?
tween Mr. W. A. Crenehaw and tho
Mayor. :.
Mr. Crenshaw states that tho action
of the Mayor ln vetolng Uho street car
tloket measure ls not entlrely ln accord
with hls fornier action along this-line.
Ho stated in the Councll Monday nlght
that there wns at present a movo on
foot ln the- Pollce Bonrd by whlch tho
Mayor wouid bo furnlshed with froe trans
portatlon on tho cars.
MAYOR DENIBD IT.
In an lntervlow yesterday Mayor Tay?
lor denlod positively that ho knOws any?
thlng of an offort ln thls dlrectlon, and
says that he ls not at all Inoonslstont
In turning down tihe proposltion.
Regardless of Mayor Taylor's donlol
that ho knows anytnlng of an eftort to
glve him froe transportatlon on the street
cars, Mr. Crenshaw reafllrmed yosterdny
afternoon whnt he had sald ln the Coun?
cll Monday nlght, addlng that Mayor Tay?
lor was present at tho meeting o'f the
Polloe Board when tha resolution was
passed.
OVERLOOKED IT.
Thus lt wouid seem that the Mayor
fallod ? to follow tho action of the board
very closely, for Uio reoorda of tho body
.realiy do show that such a rosolutlon
as apoken of by Mr. Crenshaw was passed.
Tho effect of tho resolution ls for the
board to approprlato from tho fund3 ot
tho oxponso account glven tho depart?
ment by the Councll $100 each year to
purchaso car tlckots, to be equally dlvlded
botween the Mayor and the Pollce Jus?
tlce.
Such a resolution was passed, and Mr.
Chrls. Mannlng was namod as a com?
mltteo of one to tako tho matter up with
the car companies with a view to ascer
talnlng lf thoy wouid transport the Mayor
and tho Pollco Juatlco for 150 each per
annum. ?
THE MAYOR'S VETO.
Tho veto messago of tho Mayor, whlch
was not prlntedf last nlght becauso of lack
ot epace, reads as follows:
"Gentlemon: On February 2, 1003. your
bedy adopted a rosolutlon Instraotlng the
Commltteo on Plnance to report ln tho
next amual budgot an amount sufflclent
to transport eaoh momber of tho Coun
eil over the railway llnes of the clty for
ono year from Maroh 1, 1B03, sald amount
not to exceed an amount equal to $50 for
each member of the Clty Councll. On
February 10, 1903, sold rosolutlon was con
currod ln by tho Eoard of Aldermen, and
on the 12th of February', 1003, lt was
p/esonted to me by tho clty clerk for my
consldcratlon.
"I horowlth return tho aald resolution
wlthout iny npproval and for tho follow?
lng rea-sons:
"Flrst?Tho resolution fallod to pass
tho Common Councll and' Board of Alder?
men by the requlslto two-thlrds vote nec
ossary for any expendlturo of money ex
ceedlng $100.
"Second?Members of tho Councll ac
ceptlng the trust confldcd to thom.by the
people (or should havo done so) with a
dlstlnct understandlng of Its dutles and
lfmltatlons.
"The charter makea no provlslon for
porqulsltes, prlvlleges or emoluments at
tochlng to said office. On tho contrary,
the new Constltutlon especlally hedges
them about wltb palns and penalties and
dlstlnotly and clearly forblds tho accept
ance of glfts, prlvilege-s or passes ovor
tha rallway llnes of olthor tho clty or
State. By Indlrect methods, therefore,
thls resolution apparently alms to aecom?
plish that whlch ls txpressly forbldden
by the. law.
."I conslder.lt a dangeroua expodleht to
establish, calculated ln roundabout ways,
If not chocked to lead to tho aecoptonco
of free pasao or othor abuses ln tho
future.
"Thlrd?It cannot be shown that tho
actual uao of these tickets ls requlred by
counollmen ln the dlschargo of tholr
purely offlcial dutles, oxcopt ln very
small part and tho oxcoss must. bo con
sldorecl Ih the Ught of a gratulty. To ls
liistrate thls point moro cloarly, a falr
eatlmato ot the numbor of rldes noces
sary for offlcial visltatlon to Councll and

"As the Councll meots monthly thero
wouid bo twelve rldes to tho chamber and
twelve rldes from the .chamber por an'
num for regular moetlngs, and supposlng
thera should be six speclal or callod meot

Remember the Date
tlvated farma and on tho wholo havo nlce
and comfortablo homea, yot have nevor
uwakened to tho lmportunco pt having
roads loadlng to thelr inarket'clly kopt
ln u paasable conditlon.
Can tho Unltod States bo classed aa
"flrst-rate powor" ancl allow thls state of
affalrs to oxlat? Our peoplo should bo
stlr tihonisolvos and seo to lt that wo aro
not Imposod upon longer, and that Vir?
ginla, ono of tho oldest Stntes of tho
Unlon, Ih not behlnd her slster Statos..
In North Carolna tho roads aro worke'd
by convlcts and aro among the finest In
the Unlon. The brldges are not patchod
up wllh polcs and planks, as ln somo
purts of our State, but aro bullt eubstan
Unlly of the best materlal and are per
monont. It ts a well konwn fact that In
countrlos whoro "roads aro pcrfeet the
soll ls ln a hlgher stato of cultlvaflpn
and property ls doubly as valunble as lt
Is In those counlrlcs ln whlch tihey aro
not. It Is Interesting to see the caro
whlch tho Emperors of Romo bestowed
upon thelr hlghways. They bullt roads
whlch run from Rome through tho coun?
try In evory dlroctlon to the most remoto
parts of tho emplre. Thelr objoct in thls
wan to have a way by whlch they could
rapldly transport bodles of troops ln caso
of robelllon. Tlie volue of having theso
rcadet domonstratcd Itself, for at the tlme
of thelr constructlon Rome was the tnls
trts. of tho world.
To obtain aome Idea of the pormanency
of thoae roads, let us tako noto of one
of them, known as the Applan Way. Thla
groat thoroughfaro was over 1,500 mllea
long'. It was wiue enough for twenty
men to march abreaat, and waa con
structed of stono through Its entire lengtb,
Thls road stlll standa, and 'ls doubtless
bhe greatest^ever bullt. By means of
these roads tho Emperors kept ln touch
wltb the affalrs of the whole emplre, It
was to theso roads that Romo doubtless
owed her suprerna domlnlon over tho
world, When our people begln to reallzo
the Importanco of having good roads
we shall bo a greator powor than Rome
was, for they aro tho most lmportant fea
turc of a cotmtry'B prosperlty and pro
grcsslon. Shall we, the most hlefoly dv
lllzed pooplo of the world, be behlnd tho

Commlssloner of Accounts.
Editor of Tbe Tlmcs-Dispatch:
Sir,?I notico in your valuable papor
frequont dlscusslons as to the dutles of
tho Commlssloner of Accounts who is
soon to be elected for tha Ineane asy
lums of tho State, but I have seen no ref?
erence made to tho necessary quallflca
tlons of tho man who is to flll thls im-.
portant posltion. v
The accounts of these nsylums are, as
I understand lt, made by a bonded ofll?
cer, who ls aupposed to be an expert
buyer, and who ls to -ilo an ltemlsed
voucher for every cent exponded, then
theso are to pass through tho hands of
thn executlve commlttees and the re
spnctlve boards.
lt appears to me that unless this com?
mlssloner of accounts Is well equlpped
for the posltion It will ba a perfeot slne
cure. He should be a good Judg6 of all
articles to bo purchased both as to quali?
ty and price; he should be sober, careful.
discrtet and full of business tact: he
ahould be an expert bookkeeper, for, un
leie he is, hls inspectlon of books would
bo o farce; ho should be ono who pays
hls own dobts; and ln brlef, he should ba
ono who haa made. a aucoess ot his own
business. H is quite evldent that it wlll
take a well-roundod man to meet all or
these condltions. but such a one can be
found. and It ls hopod th at the leglsla
tors'on whom rosts the rcsponslblltty of
f hn_ thls poaltlon wlll oxerclse dua
caro in making thelr seieotion. The sal
arv of $2,000 ond expenses por annum,
whlle not too much when wo conslder
that thls ofllcer wlll have to look after
the dlabursement of over a quarter mll?
llon dollars of the State's money, Is s?UK
flolently large to oommand tho servlces
of a firsuclass and well-rounded gentle
man. Tiio wrlter Is not connected in any
