Berlin, May 27.-Albert S. Burle
son. former united States Postmaster
General, who for several weeks has
been investigating the possibilities OF
the cotton market in Germany, started
for Vienna today. Later he will visit
the Haxon cotton mills and will then
return to Berlin. r
While in Berlin Burleson met Chan
cellor Wirth and other members of
the cabinet, manufacturers and ex-
perts. He said that he is convinced
that Wirth will do his best to live up
to the reparation demands.
While Burleson is hopeful that con
siderable amounts of cotton could be
sold in Germany in the near future,
he said that the inability Of the Ger
man manufacturers to find market
for more than % per cent of the nor
NAL output, because of the reduced
buying power of 200.OO0,OOO consum
ers in Central Europe, made condi

In HENDRICKS CASE
Jury is Discharged Last Night,
After Considering the Case
Since Wednesday Evening.
2 <. Peerson Given Verdict

The Jury in Glynn superior court
which has had the case of the state

assault with intent to murder, under
consideration SINCE 5 o'clock Wednes-
day afternoon, was discharged by
Judge Highsmith late yesterday af-
ternoon, and a mistrial in the case
was declared.
The jury was dismissed after it
had been reported to the court that
they were hopelessly divided, with
no prospect at all of being able to
arrive at verdict. Hendricks was
tried on an assault to murder charge
in connection with raid by county
officers on an illicit still, during which

contested civil suits of the term, the
Jury in the case of B. E. Person VS..

ed verdict yesterday afternoon in
favor of the plaintiff for $4,000.
Mr.. Peerson entered suit for the
sum of $4,000 for the loss of an eye
as the result of an accident while en-
gagged in erecting a Ismoke-stack for
the defendant company. 1t was shown
that the injury resulted from the ex-
plosion of a. steam-hammer, and was
due to no act of carelessness on the
part of the plaintiff.
The verdict is said to be one of the
largest ever given for personal injury
by Glynn county jury. The plain
tiff was represented by Attorney Jas.
T. Colson, while the law firm of Ben
