COURT IS CLEARED
WHILE MRS. H|RSCH
TELLS HER STORY

ATLANTA. Ga, March 15.-Declaring
her story was too horrible" TO tell to a
courtroom crowded with spectators. Mrs.
Margaret Hirsch. on trial charged with
attempting to extort $4,000 from Mayor
Asa c. Gambler by blackmail. broke
down as she took the stand shortly after
10 o'clock today to make her statement
10 the jury. Sobbing as though her heart
would break she pleaded with the court
to clear the room while she told her
story.
Judge Hill acceded to her request. and
ordered the court room cleared immedi-
ately. Only the court. attorneys for both
sides. and the Jury were allowed to re-
main.
Newspaper men were also excluded
from the room
When Judge Ben II. Hill, presiding.
called the court to order the big court
room was again crowded with specta-
tors, including many fashionably at
tired women. Deputies strictly ems
forced the seating capacity limit and
allowed no one to stand within the
court room. Several police officers
were necessary to restrain the crowd
that TANNED the corridors clamoring
for admission.
At the time of adjournment yester-
day the State had completed its case
for the time being, although there
was a possibility of further testimony
being introduced in rebuttAl.
Il was indicated that the hearing
will be conducted as rapidly as pos
sibIe today The defense has sub
poenaed about twenty witnesses, but
has given no indication as to the ma
ture Of the testimony. Judge Hill has
not announced whether he will allow
any extension OF time for the coun-
sells arguments. The usual time al
lowed is thirty minutes for each side.
Judge Richard B. Russell, formerly
of the State court OF appeals, leading
counsel for the defense, has not in
dicated his plans. but hinted there
were several sensational developments
in store.
Many women war workers who
have been associated with Mrs
Hirsch have been called to testify as
to the defendants character and life.
The witnesses and their testimony
were practically identical yesterday
with that given at the trial of J. W.
Cook, Jointly indicted with Mrs.
Hirsch. Cook was convicted on the
charge against him.
Despite the lack of new evidence
the counsel for both sides continu-
ally clashed before the court on the
legal issues of the case. There were
several verbal demonstrations that
brought the courts intervention and
nearly resulted in fines for the par
ticipants.

THIRSTY ONES RAGE.
AS BANDITS LOOT
BOOZE PACKAGES

Booze traffic between baltimore
and Warrington Il becoming 4 highly
improbable business for the express
companies, and thirsty Washington
ians who are able to order supplies in
bulk are suffering keenly from the
drought.
Many express packages containing
booze and addressed to this city have
been rified recently. Theft OF boone
somewhere in transit Is becoming an
exceedingly common occurrence. and
the express companies are being hard
put to IL. An official OF one of the
big companies admitted today that At
least one in every twenty-five pack
ages containing booze turns up for
Washington delivery either empty OF
with q portion of its contents gone
In all such cases the express compan-
nies make good the loss. but this
does not assuage the grief Of the con
slgnees. Hundreds of them are be-
moaning the misfortune that brings
no thirst relief after they have signed
affidavits and paid down their money
In advance. In no case are they salts
hed with money back.
From the tales going about Wash
ington, the estimate of one package
in twenty-five made by the express
company official Is an exceedingly
one. Complaint Is wide
spread and general.
So far the efforts of company de-
tectiVes and police officials have
brought no relief. Il Is the belief
among consignees that bootleggers
are getting their supplies.

Says Germany Did Not
Reject Entente Proposal

AMSTERDAM, Aug l5.-Admiral Won
Hintze. German foreign secretary. before
leaving for main headquarters TO take
mart in the conferences between EN-
peror William and Emperor Charles al
Austria and their advisors, WAS inter-
viewed BY the Berlin correspondent or
the Cologne Gazette. Admiral Won
Hin,zc discussed the statement Of Pre-
mier Lloyd-Gcnrgc in his war annifer-
sary message. that six months ago Ger
man Deliberately rejected q just and rea-
sorablc settlement proposed by the al
lies, and that Germany. discarded inh!l?
the mask OF moderation toward partl-
TONED Russia and cnslnved Eumania-
Admiral Won liin,zc said:
"Lloyd-Georgns statement was vague
and uncertain Nothing is known
authoritativcly in German political or
military circles about such reasonable
peace proposals.
Had the entente statesmen SERIOUSLY
intended To pave the way for peace by
understanding they could have ap-
preached Germany through the properly
authorized Persons with vic" 10 dis
cussion that would bring hUla parties
into contact. There can he n" question
therefore Of refusal by Germany OF
any reasonable peace proposal.
In conclusion Admiral Won llintze was
cmuhatic IN declaring that guilt Tor the
prolongation of the var lay with the
entente statesmen.
