TO CALL EMPEROR TO WITNESS STAND Counsel in Sensational Libel Case Agree That Kaiser | Must Give Tes-
 timony. SHOCKING SECRET
 CRIMES CHARGED Public Excluded From the Hearing Because of Ma
 ture of Evidence
 Given.

Berlin, Oct. 24--The hearing of the ease of Count Kuno von Moltke, form CT military governor of Berlin, against Maximilien Harden, editor of Die Zu- kunft, for defamation of character, is growing more and more sensational every day.
 In the course of to-day's proceedings Dr. von Gordon counsel for the plaln- tiff, declared that he would eventually ask for the testimony of Emperor Will liam to prove that Count von Moltke never had used his official position to promote political ends, Herr Bern stein then charged that the court clique, of which von Moltke was @ member, was guilty of infamous secret crimes, If von Moltke is innocent, he said, no one else is, and this would seem increditab'e.
 Harden proposes to call the head oi the police department dealing with this aspect of public morals to testify tc what he knows regarding Prince Philir Zu Eulenburg, the ex-German ambas- sador to Vienna, and Lieutenant Gen. eral Count William von Hohenau, one of the emperor's adjutants, who to. gether with von Moltke, have beer mentioned by Harden as members oi the so-called camarilla. or Round Ia. ble" Harden has said that he vii call as a witness Paul Lirnan, the au. thor of life of Emperor William, wht will testify that the late Prince vol Bismarck once expressed himself concerning the immoral excesses o1 Prince zu Eulenburg in the strongest terms imaginable. Harden will alst call Prince von Buelow, the imperia chancellor, and Field Marshall Coun von Hulsen-H -Haeseler, chief of the em peror's military cabinet.
 The bench has decided to admit tes. timony to prove the allegation tha' unnatural practices prevailed among the friends of Won Moltke. The pub 1 lie will be excluded from the hearings but representatives of the press vii i be allowed to remain.

ENROLMENT BILL. Attempts To Take It Up Sidetracked In Finance
 Board. FULL SESSION WANTED Park Commission Gets An other Transfer for
 Purchase.
FULL SESSION WANTED

An attempt to take up the consider ation of the bills for payment of the military enrolling officer WIS sidetrack- cd last evening in the board of finance by the suggestion by his honor the mayor that the matter had better be reserved until full meeting of the board was obtained. Mir Herx called the matter up by asking what the status of the matter was and whether It lay entirely with the board or not. He was in favor of the board of finance taking immediate action in disposing of the matter but the mayors remark disarmed action and the matter went over again.
 The Park commission sent in conn nlunication asking for a transfer of $500 toward the purchase of land about West Rock which is to be added to the park and for which transfer was made at the last meeting The addi- tional money is needed because the source from which money for the pur- chase was hoped for would not be available. II was expected that money would be forthcoming from the sale of rock to the Biakeslees but as this was held up the transfer was asked for It was granted. In connection with the sale it was stated that one man who holds a twenty-f1rst interest in the property refuses absolutely to sell and the land will be purchased subject tc his interest and condemnation proceed ings brought against him next year His interest amounts to about $46.
 The request of Director of Charities and Corrections Rattelsdorfer for more money to continue the hospital and in. sane work of the department for the year was informally taken up and Con. troller Rowe will inform the director that he may proceed with his work and the city will meet all deficits at the enc of the year.
