Had Not, Been Drinking. Contention thaj Shipley was under the Influence of liqnor was refuted toy the autopsy performed yesterday by Coroner Nevltt and Deputy Coroner White. There' was no indication that Shipley had been more than a moderate drinker There is no intimation in the conclusions of the police that Deason fired the shots under any other cause than that he thought the man was a housebreaker. Investigation yesterday brought out the fact that Shipley was married, and the father of three -children, although he had lived apart from his family for some time. He is also survived by two sisters, Miss S.

D. Shipley, of 426 Eleventh street southeast, and Mrs. R. M. McDacle, o'f 20 Eighth street southeast.

Two brothers survive, former Sheriff Shipley, of Howard county. and C. E. Shipley 1 quarterman at the office of yards and docks at the navy yard. Shipley was well known among the fraternal societies of the city, being a Wheeling, W.

Jan. struggling for more than hxmrs with the mass of technical sensational testimony before it, the Jury In the case of Mrs. Laura Farnsworth Schenk, changed with poisoning her husband, i John O. Schenk, announced late today' that they were hopelessly divided, and could not reach a verdict. Judge L.

S. Jordan at different" times during the day importuned them to; further efforts, but at 5:04 p. m. discharged them, and -the long-drawn-out trial resisted In a disagreement. Tonight Schenk is again in Jail, despite her hopes that she would be a free woman upon the verdict of the' jury.

She betrayed no emotion when the announcement of theidisagree- ment of the jury was made. The final, vote taken by the jury after their long- session, stood 11 for acquittal and 1 for conviction. On the first ballot, taken within five minutes after the Jury retired at 8:56 o'clock Wednesday evening, 8 voted for acquittal, 3 for conviction, and 1 Juryman refused to vote. On the second ballot there were 9 for acquittal and 3 for conviction. From this status the nymber of those standing by an acquittal verdict was gradually worked up to 11, the Jurors, It is reported, coming over at the night ses 1 slon Wednesday, while another changed his opinion today.

Juror Heyman Obdurate. The juror who defeated, hopes of a verdict was Isaac Heyman, salesman for a local provision company. From the start he held that the prisoner was guilty of the crime with which she was and It was finally recognized that there was absolutely no.chance for changing hlg view. When the Jury was brought into court at 5 o'clock, Judge Jordan asked: "Have you arrived at a verdict?" "We have not," replied Foreman Philip Burke. "Is there any possibility of arriving at 3.n agreement?" the Judge asked.

"There is not," was the emphatic answer. The jurymen were polled separately, CHARLESTON DEAL OFF Democrats Announce Senatorial Truce Ends Tonight.

While on these sprees he Injdred no ono but himself." "Originally we came from Maryland, and my brother came to when he was 18 years of age. shall be at the coroner's inquest tomorrow and give my version of the affair. My brother was a great pedestrian. As an example of his love.

for long walks it was no uncommon -hing for him to walk to Georgetown and return to our home after first 'crossing the Pennsylvania avenue brWge in the southeast section. "The thought of him doing anything criminal never entered his head, I am confident, and, for that matter, he did not have to steal, as has been suggested. He was not a pauper by any means. He had money, and has relatives with plenty, which was available to him in case of need. Besides he was an expert mill worker.

The Idea that he went to that house with felonious Intent Is absurd. We will bury George from this house, and will make arrangements to do so right after the inquest." FUNERAL DIRECTORS THOS. A. COSTELLO, JPUNERAL DIPKOTOR AND EMnALMER. 12 STRKET NORTHEAST.

1 Garflold HoapHal. The failure to arrive at a opens up a world of possibilities. While a new trial will be necessary. It is generally conceded that the task "of selecting n. Jury will be most difficult 1 Virtually all of the evidence in the possession of either side has been brought out, and there are few who have not "formed an opinion.

There was also a that charges of bribery and attempted- bribery had been made by members of the Jury following their discharge, but several of the jurors later denied the rumors emphatically. Lower Bond Will Be Asked. Mrs. Schenk was remanded to jail following the disagreement. The amount of-'bond required to secure her liberty pending a second trial has not been determined upon, but will be fixed at once.

After her arrest and indictment bond was fixed at $10,000, but it Is expected that this will be reduced before a second trial IB held. No mdtions were made before adjournment of court tonight, and details of future proceedings will be determined In the next few days. J. J. P.

O'Brien, chief counsel for Mrs. Schenk, said tonight: "Tomorrow, before Judge Jordan, we will ask that "Mrs. Schenk be freed on her own recognizance. Failing in that, we will ask for a reduction In the bond from $10.000 to $5,000, and we shall then Invite ten citizens to go on the bond, each for $500. The first ten applying will be allowed to go on the Mrs! Rufus W.

Mrs. Peckham went driving at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon, remaining oiit over two hours. On returning to the Grafton, she was met at hef carriage by a Post reporter. "Did you know of Miss Arnold's disappearance before the. reports were published in the newspapers?" asked the reporter.

"I will say nothing about the case, one way or another," replied Mrs. Peckham, as she proceeded to enter the hotel. "Did Miss Arnold have any ances among the social set of Washington?" "I do not care to discuss the affair at all," she said. Mrs. Peckham was dressed In heavy black, and was evidently weak, not having fully recovered from her recent illness.

'She was assisted from her carriage to her apartments by her footman. Private detectives yesterday began Washington a search for Miss Arnold. While there Is nothing as yet known to the detectives that would show -that Miss Arnold might have come to this city beyond the fact that her lives here, no possibility Is overlooked, and two members of the Pinkertbns are said upon reliable authority to be working in the Capital.

Tlie convicts are William Bush, sentenced to life Imprisonment in 1902 for murder in New York: Ralph Taylor, a burglar, serving a 21-year term, and Charles- McGinn, another burglar with five years to do.

AH were members of the prison band, and with sixteen others were In the head keeper's office for practice. The practice had ended when Bush, Taylor, and McGinn made a break for the door. Wilfred Webster, a guard, was beaten Into insensibility at the door; Alexander McGinley, another guard, was likewise felled, a third was toppled over, and the convicts fled Into the foggy night across the prison yard. It is believed that the fugitives made their way onto the frozen Hudson and escaped notice. GEN.

intercepted and read. He did not make a movement abroad that was not reported to the Arnold family. It was unnecessary, as events showed. After weeks of espionage the Arnolds decided to approach the man directly and ask him if he knew where Dortjthy was if he had any notion that she Intended to leave home. He satisfied the family and Mr.

Gar van and Mr. Keith as well that he was as much mystified 1 as they. Since then he has not been under observation. The family are convinced that It was not because of that love affair that she Is missing. Was there any other romance In her life that might have led to unhappiness and flight? Mr.

Arnold dM not think so. His wife and his other daughter, Mar- jorle, who Is 18 years old, had never heard Dorothy, mention any'man particularly, mor did she act as If she had a love affair. Up to the day of her disappearance. she led, they say, her usual' placid life, and have no troubles more serious than a grievance against a dressmaker. It possible, as Mr.

Qarvan and Mr. KeUh said, that Dorothy knew a number of young men, but they did not think she was in love with any of them. Her girl friends told the family that they had never seen her about with any young man in particular, and that they would Have known of It, If she had been in love. Other Clews Failed. They exhausted that theory.after painstaking Investigation, so Mr.

Qarvan says, and had to take a line. Perhaps, as was suggested to them, Miss Arnold, as other girls have done, ran away to escape the tedium, of a comfortable existence. They thought the notion that she might have become bored over an unending course of theaters and tea parties and luncheons and- dances and reading-, and dropped It all suddenly to see more exciting phases of life, was worth Investigating. They went back for, years, and tried to remember If her literary predilections would give a clew. She dabbled at writing herself.

'Last Bummer she submitted to the Cosmopolitan Magazine a story called "Poinsettia Flaines," a love story. It was rejected by the Cosmopolitan and one other magazine. She was unable to get printed some verses which she called "Lotus Leaves." Her. sister Marjorle thought that one of her stories had been printed, but she not remember In what periodical. So this phase of the Investigation came to nothing.

There was no definite Indication that she had lert 'home because was tired of the humdrum. And so the famljy and their friends, finding no traces of preparation for flight and seeing no reason to believe that Dorothy was unhappy over a Tote affair or in her home life, concluded that her disappearance w'as not voluntary. Mr. Garvan and Mr. Keith, directing an army of assistants, looked for her In the Hospitals, examined the records of the board of health In this and other cities, sent private detectives to Boston, phia, Washington, Baltimore, and other cities, but no clew to the girl's whereabouts has been found.

Jaji. 26-All negotiations looking toward a compromise- of the differences between the --Republicans and Democrats of the State senate, are declared off, the future Is problematical. Such Is the statement made at the headquarters of the Republican members tonight.

Gov. Qlasscock has not and will not sign the commissions of United States Senators-elect Watson-Tind Chllton. Watson left tonight for the East, presumably ori his way to Washton to ask for his seat without credentials from the governor. All day the Democrats of the senate waited for the conferees to get together, and at 7 o'clock tonight issued their ultimatum, to the effect that they would join the Democrats and fight it out for the senate organization, provided the Democrats would agree to permit Hearne, of the First district, to take his seat In place of Caldwell, whom the Democrats have seated, make an. Inquiry Into the contest, and permit all the Republicans to vote on the Question, and that England be elected president of the senate.

They further asked that no business be transacted until the senate is organized, and that com- mitteeshlps and attaches be equally between the parties. Democrats Serve The Democrats refused to accept the terms offered, declared negotiations and served notice that-tomprrow -night the truce under which immunity from arrest promised Republicans upon tnefr return from Cincinnati will end. The Republicans have not decided what; their future action will be. Some of the the senate will go ahead with the regular transaction of business, permitting Caldwell to hold his i seat. of the Democrats of the house favor an Immediate adjournment of Senator Fisher who has served notice on the Democrats that he will, only meet with them on party matters, is expected to withdraw if any attempt is made to transact routine business.
