MRS. H|ReCH IS
On TRIAL TODAY
FOR BLACkMA|L
ASA GAMBLER ON STAND TWICE
TO-DAY TO TESTIFY THAT THE
WOMAN TRIED TO COERCE HIM
OUT OF MONEY.

ATLANTA, Ca, March 14.-Mrs.
Margaret Hirsch went on trial here
this morning on charge of attempt
ed blackmail of Asa g. Gambler, for
which she was indicted jointly with
J. w Cook last month. Cook has al
ready been tried, convicted and SEN
fenced, being given the limit of the
law, by Judge Ben Hill, before whom
Mrs. Hirsch's trial is now proceed
ing.
Judge Hill permitted counsel for
Mrs. Hirsch to question talesmen as
10 their prejudice, so as to assure the
defendant a fair trial. The jury, how
ever was quickly selected and Mayor
Gambler was the first witness called.
He again related details of Mrs.
Hirsch's several visits to his office and
of the alleged attempt TO blackmail
him.
Mayor Gamblers direct testimony
was largely a repetition of that given
at the trial of Cook, and nthe cross
examination conducted by Judge Rich
ard Russell. formerly member of the
court of appeals, who has joined courl-
sci for the defense, Mr.. Gambler said
he had never telephoned Mrs Hirsch,
and that most o. her visits were made

He said she invariably came alone. but
denied he had ever put his arms
around Mrs. Hirsch, or that he had
ever solicited improper relations with

HIsCHOOL STUDENTS
TAKE THR|FTSSTIAM|V||PSS PS s
IN LARGE AMOUNTS
HENRY ALLEN, son OF SUPERIOR
COURT CLERK III. e. ALLEN, IN
VESTS 500 WHILE OTHER BOYS
AND GIRLS ALSO BUY.

Yesterdays sales of thrift stamps at
the Americas High school totaled ap'
proximately $1,000, and the members OF
the student body and faculty are jub-
liant over the success of the sale to
date The .otal sales in this institu'
ton to date amount to $2,26S.06, and
those at the head of the campaign con-
fdently anticipate this will be doubled,
at least, before the end of the present
school term.
Henry Allen, son of Superior Court
Clerk H. e. Allen, and a student who
takes the lead in many patriotic activ-
tiles here, has purchased the largest
amount of war savings certificates OF
any student in the institution. On yes
terday he paid for $400 par value OF
the certificates, which boosted the
total sales considerably, as well as
giving young Allen an excellent in
vestment for his savings. ALI of the
money, it is announced, was his own,
and the war saving certificates pur
chased will be registered as payable to
him. Other students who purchased
war savings certificates in considera-
BILE sums, none under $500, are Eg-
bert Clark, Walter Calhoun, Marvin
Bolton, Frances Johnson, Laurie John
son, Hattie Pope Morgan and Catherine
Broadfield
Charles NJ. Hale, principal Of the
High school, speaking of the success
attained in the sale of these Sc
curities among the students, expressed
keen satisfaction with the patriotic
sentiment manifested by te students,
and he predicts that Amerieus school
students will rank high among those
throughout Georgia in the final ac-
counting when the success of the war
savings stamp drive is calculated. He,
together with Superintendent Mathis
is assisting in the effort to place as
many of these securities among the
students as possible, but, of course, is
devoting the greater part of his at
tention to the campaign being waged
among the High school pupils.

TELEPHONE GIRLS
Will NOT ANSWER
ANY MORE QUERIES

ATLANTA, Ca, March 14.-The rail-
road commission of Georgia, passing
upon the petition of the Southern Bell
Telephone and Telegraph company
ruled that on and after April l these
expressions shall be omitted from
telephone language in this state:
"Time, please?"
Where is the fire?'
Was Jones really elected?"
Can you tell me, please, ETC.
Similarly and upon the same date
tie free use by the general public OF
telephones kept in stores and business
houses must cease, declared the COM
mission.
THE commission is of the opinion. y
so reads its report, that the demands
made upon the company, its operators
and facilities for services not connect
ed with furnishing telephone service,
such as inquiries for the time of day,
the location of the fire and fsimilar
information have reached proportions
which, riously interfere with eff
cient and legitimate telephone service.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS
HERE ARE AFTER
HELP FROM U. S.

Prof NJ. l.. Brattain, state superin-
tendent of schools, is in Americus to-
day, conferring with the board of edu-
cation relative to securing share OF
the federal appropriation, under the
Smith Hughes law, for vocational
training application in the public
schools of the city.
If the board agrees to accept GER
tain restrictions and provisions I'M
posed by the government, it is believ
ed that a part of the appropriation
can be diverted to Americus. The
entire appropriation for the state this
year is only $4,000
The government would promote the
scope Of the training formerly known
as domestic science, now called home
economics. Manual training would
also be encouraged. Such money as
tie local schools would receive would
be employed in the payment of sala-
RES
Prof. Britain is one of the leading
educators of the South, and his visit
here was much appreciated by the
members of the board, number OF
whom called upon him at the Hotel
Windsor early in the morning.

$4,000 IN FINE MEAT
BURNED IN SMOKE
HOUSE NEAR CITY
W. j. WILLIAMSON HEAVY LOSER
AS RESULT IN INCENDIARY
FIRE WHICH DESTROYED MEAT
STORES.

w. J Williamson, one of Sumter
county's most progressive farmers
was in the city Wednesday, and tells
of losing his smoke-house and stor~
age room on Monday night by fire. The
building contained s2,029,50 worth of
fine meat that he had killed and cured
only recently.
Mr.. Williamson says that in his
opinion the fire was of incendiary
origin, and that when it was discov-
cred it was about 1870 o'clock Tues
day morning, and that there was no
chance to save either the buildings or
contents. Ell asy that a terrific ex-
plosion, sounding like dynamite, took
place in the rear of the smokeIhouse
shortly before the fire was discov-
cred.
Sheriff Harvey was notified and
went to the scene with his dogs, bur
10 clew to the perpetrators could be
found. Mr.. Williamson later visited
the ruined smokehouse and only a
few feet from where the hunt was
stopped he found a shoulder of meat,
evidently stolen from the smoke-house,
which is another circumstance, in his
opinion, indicating his smoke-house
and storage room were destroyed by
an incendiary. Mr. Williamson states
he carried insurance covering about
one-third the loss sustained

Coal Production Up to
Limit of Labor Supply

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 1.--Produc-
tlon of anthracite is now substantially
at the maximum point possible with
the present working force Of $4,000
mine workers, according to a statement
issued tonight by the anthracite opera
tors committee. Yesterdays output
was more than 100000 tons, or at the
rate Of 100000 tons month.
The statement said that ii the labor
supply were increased the production
Of anthracite would be raised more
than 100000 tons year.
Acting under the orders OF the di-
rector Of the Department Of Supplies
and the director of Public Health and
Charities, policemen to-day seized
about one hundred tons Of coal as it
was leaving coal yard in wagons and
directed tho drivers to take it to the
Philadelphia Hospital, a municipal in
stitution housing nearly five thousand
persons. The hospital was almost out
of coal and in order to keep up the
steam pressure to heat the building the
city authorities took extreme measures.
The seizure was reported to the state
Fuel Administrator, who refused to
say what action he intends to take, if
any. 1t was said some of the coal was
to have been delivered to the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania Hospital. City
authorities said the university has
sufficient coal for presents needs.

American Flag Is Sign
For Newport Coal Patriots

NEWPORT, Il. T.. Feb. In an ef-
fort to obtain coal for homes which are
entirely without it, novel plan was
put into effect here to-day, under the
direction Of the City Fuel Commission.
Householde:s having q supply more
than sufficient for immediate needs
were invited to display the American
flag. Under the guidance of deputy
sheriff who volunteered for the service
coal teams were sent to these houses
to receive such quantities of coal as
could be spared. The canvass resulted
in the collection Of ten tons taken in
small lots from many houses.
The entire visible coal supply here
to-day for the community of $4,000 per-
sons was only 450 tons.
A committee of women, headed by
Mrs. Daniel b. Fearing. Mrs. Elsie
French Vanderbilt and Mrs. John Mich
olas Brown, sent out 100 letters to-
night TO owners of houses that have
been closed for the winter, calling at
tention to the distress caused by the
fuel shortage and urging that any coal
in these houses be turned over to the
Fuel Commission
New-York tribune., 1918-02-02

Garfield had authorized no statement
to the effect that the present conscrva-.
tion plan would be suspended, but said
the Chief Fuel Administrator realized
that to continue the closing plan
through February, counting each Sat
urday as a half holiday, would cut
twelve days from n twenty~eight-day
month. Such a plan, he said, would
work serious injury to businesses whose
overhead expenses for the month could
not be reduced to meet this decreased
income.
AS substitute for the voorhees,
Mondays Mr.. Parsons said that the dis
continuance Of all passenger trains tor
q period of forty-eight hours had been
suggested. This. he said, would result
in clearing up freight congestion and
permit the use Of passenger iocomo-
tives in freight handling.
Coal Receipts Fall
The days coal receipts again fell
slightly below the totals for Thurs
day and may decline even further to-
day. But $4,000 tons of anthracite
reached New York yesterday, as against
$4,000 for the previous day and $4,000
for the day before that.
Threats Of additional enforced shut
downs in the factory districts of BrooH-
lVn ana queens were IOuHu III Nhc
wholesale complaints made by business
men in those districts, who said that
they were obtaining smaller and
smaller quantities Of coal each day
J. A. Hall, deputy fuel administrator
said that thirty-five manufacturing con-
Germs working exclusively on govern
ment contracts would be compelled to
shutdown if they did not Immediately
obtain large quantities of coal.
But the coal had not been found
with which to supply them last night
That these factories. entitled to fucl
under priority orders granted them
weeks ago, have been unable to obtain
sufficient coal to assure continuous
operation is accepted by the fuel ad
ministration as additional evidence OF
the seriousness Of the situation.
Although slight improvement in the
fuel situation up state was reported il
the afternoon, Mr.. Hall said that il
was still likely that at least 20 pei
cent Of the factories throughout the
state would be compelled to shutdown
or nearly so, unless their supplies o
