No Decision By
Jurors in Drake
Apartment Case
New Men Will Be Impaneled
After Failure to Reach Ver
dict After Four Hours
l Deliberation.
t itv. July inviu in iiiiin.iiim
court was broken yesterday after
tioon when five jurors were dis
charger by Judge A. E. Baldwin,
jfter they had deliberated four hour3
and 15 minutes over the evidence in
the case of the Drake Holding com
pany against F.niily and Garnet
Carlson, tenants of apartment No.
21. Drake court.
This was the first of a scries of
cases which have been brought by
the Drake company against tenants
who refused to pav an "advanced
schedule of rent. The jury stood
tour for the Drake company and one
for the defendants, when they as
sured the judge and attorneys that
th"-p was no chance to arrive at a
verdict. v
The court announced that a new
jury will be called and that a re
trial of the case will be held next
Friday morning.
. Five Men On Jury.
The jurors were: Chris Hanson,
L. PcttingRill, C. H. T. Riepin,
George D. Rice and S. L. Ronewitz.
One of the jurors who had been
summoned, was ill, so both sides
agreed to present the case to five
men. The juror who held out for
the tenants told his associates that
he would stav in the jury room until
ext May before he would yield hts
position. The majority of four stuck
it out until 4 p. m., without stopping
for luncheon.
The case attracted considerable in
terest and was attended by many
jfamen of Drake court. Edward
UUirke, attorney for the Tenants'
Protective league, represented the
pisses Carlson and Sidney Smith
represented the Drake company.
. The petition filed by the plaintiff
company alleged that Misses Carl
son were in unlawful possession of
their apartment in Drake court and
the case was tried on legality of a
lease, rather than on the contrA
versy which has been waged over
the payment of rent.
Join Tenant's League.
aOn May 1 of this year the Misses
Tlirlson entered into a lease which
stipulated that they should pay
$37.50 per month for five months
and $45 per month for seven months
thereafter, with another stipulation
that the lease should terminate up
on one month's notice by either of
the signatories. When an increased
schedule of rent was announced by
the Drake company, effective July
1. to all tenants of Drake court,
the Carlsons joined an organization
which grew into a tenants' league
and resisted the payment of the
higher rents.
Attorney Smith, for the Drake
company, stated that he would stand
on the regularity of the lease-and
that the case was one to determine
whether an owner could regain pos
session of his premises after having
complied with certain legal formali
ties. Cites Oral Agreement.
Attorney Burke, for defendants.
stated that there was no dispute as
to the sufficiency df the notices
served by the Drake company, but
he held that his clients were given
certain oral assurances and that
when they signed the leases they
lid not realize the real significance
of the document. He contended that
the written lease waj secondary to
th- oral agreement. He also stated
that the Drake company wanted to
get possession of the premises so
that they may obtain higher rent
During the hearing Attorney
Lurke tendered W. J. Palmer, vice
president of the Drake company,
SI 12.50, being the Carlson rent for
July, August and September at
$37.50 per month, but the tender was
refused.
J. E. O'Brien, president of the
Tenants' Protective league, testified
that W. B. Drake offered to accept

Try This If You
Have Dandruff
There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely
and that is to dissolve it. This de
stroys it entirely. To do this, just
get about four ounces of plain, or
dinary liquid arvon; apply at
night when retiring; use enough to
moisten the scalp and rub it in
gently with the finger tips.
By morning most, if not all, of
your dandruff will be gone, and
three or four more applications will
completedy dissolve and entirely de
stroy every single sign and trace of
it, no matter how much dandruff
you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop
instantly, and your hair will be
fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and
soft, and look and feel a hundred
times better.
Tou can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. It is inexpensive and
four ounces it all you will need.
This simple remedy has never been
known to fail.

Says His Prescription
Has Powerful influence
Over Rheumatism
Mr. James H. Allen suffered for years
with rheumatism. Many times this ter
rible d:rease left him helpless and unable
to work.
He finally decided, after years of
ceaseless study, that no on ean be free
from rheumatism until the accumulated
impurities, commonly called uric acid
deposits, were dissolved in the joints and
muscles and expelled from the body.
With this idea in mind he consulted
physicians, made experiments and finally
compounded prescription that quickly
and completely banished every sign and
symptom of rheumatism from his system.
Ha freelfr gave his discovery to others
who took it, with what mifrht be called
marvelous aueeess. After years of urging
he decided to let sufferers everywhere
know about his discovery through the
