CLOSING ARGUMENTS ARE MADE

SEATTLE, March 30.-The closing arguments to the jury in the Gill Rockingham bribery case were com pleted yesterday, both sides making 2 supreme effort. The arguments ran the whole gamut of sarcasm, denunci ation and denial. The defense declar- ed the whole charge a frame-up by the Billingsleys and their ilk to get the mayor and chief of police because of their activities against the bootleg ging fraternity. The prosecution de- clared that a frame-up is impossible and that the accusations are true in every respect and have been conclu- sively proven by the evidence. The case will probably go to the jury early today.

 War by Allies Refusal.

BERLIN March 30.--Chancellor Von Bethmann Holwegg, in an ad- iress before the Reichstag yesterday. declared that Germany did not want war with the United States, and that rhe responsibility for the additional floodshed if war came, would rest upon the United States and not Ger many. He declared that Germany rad offered honorable peace to the al- lies and had been refused. Then. and iot until then, had unrestricted sub- marine warfare been adopted. It was d measure which Germany had been soath to adopt, but one which had been forced upon her by the deter. snination< of the allies to continue the var until Germany had been crushed, and under these conditions nothing was left for Germany but to use every possible means to defeat the plans of her enemies.
