Defense Pleads Wounding OF
Woman's Husband Was
Accidental.

FREEPORT. n. Y, June 81
Mrs. Oscar A. Hirsh. who is
charged with shooting her husband
Saturday night after a party, was
formally arraigned yesterday and
held for examination Thursday
when the case probably will go be-
fore the grand jury of Nassau
county.
Mrs. Hirsh appeared before Alvin
y. Johnson. justice of the peace
who overruled the motion of George
NJ. Levy, her attorney. that the
case be dismissed because OF lack
of evidence. Affidavits were pre-
sented, but no witnesses appeared.
Mrs. Hirsh did not testify.
Call II Accidental.
Although Mrs. Hirsh and her
husband now maintain that the
shooting was accidental. Elvin N
Edwards. assistant district attor'
ney, said after the hearing: 1--WE
have n clear case Of assault in the
first degree, the penalty for which
Is five to ten years" Edwards
denied reports that events at the
party led to the shooting. There
is nothing in it," he declared.
Mrs. Hirsh. accompanied by
Thomas Powell, turfman. who went
on her bail for $4,000, sat with
bowed head throughout the pro
ceedings. Powell occasionally whis
pered to her. As soon asa court
adjourned Mrs. Hirsh went to her
home. She was apparently cheerful
when she was interviewed.

FARM BLOC IS
INVITED To DINE
BY PRESIDENT
White House Expects to Win
Members to Support Of Ship
Subsidy Bill.
BY Universal Service.

President Harding on Thursday
will explain the vital necessity of the
ship subsidy bill to a large delegs-
ton OF farmers and the farm bloc"
in Congress-. In order that he may
talk with them at close quarters he
has invited them to dine with him
at the White House.
While the President will doubtless
talk over with them several matters
OF importance touching pending legis-
lation it is known that the subsidy
bill Is first in his mind.
The President believes that no one
group in America will profit more
through the upbuilding of an ade
quate merchant marine, nor would
any class suffer more through the
failure Of this project.
Urgency Is Stressed.
Reports to him from foreign trade
experts only serve to emphasize the
urgency for quick enactment Of the
subsidy bill. There are indications
in almost every country indebted 10
the United States that an effort will
be made to fill their agricultural
needs in other than American mar.
kets.
The only means OF combating this
tendency, the President has been al
vised, is for America to be independ
ent OF foreign shipping. Unless
America has her own ships foreign
carriers will be tempted to furnish
an Indifferent service and highly dis
criminatory freight rates. The Presi-
dent feels that the only measure OF
safety, or means of meeting this com
petition, is to be able to prompt
service in American bottoms.
Unless this is done the farmer
faces overproduction, without any
certainty of export facilities and the
depression that necessarily will fol
low an overstocked American mar
ket.
The President will devote some
time at the dinner to a discussion oi
the transportation problem as 1t ef
fects the farmer. He is anxious tc
learn IL the recent reductions are
adequate and whether the railroad:
are supplying sufficient equipment
to move crops promptly.
Capper 10 Attend.
Senator Arthur Capper Rep) o.
Kansas, chairman Of the Senate agri
culture bloc" will attend. Cappel
will outline the legislative program
desired by his colleagues and advisc
the President on the need of a farm

GEN. SAWYER ON
HOSPITAL PLAN
Harding's Physician Blamed
For Failure of Program Call
ing for $1,000, 900.

In its battle for the better treat
ment OF this country's war disabled.
the American Legion today turned
Its guns upon Brig. Gen. Charles f.
Sawyer. personal friend and physi'
clan to President Harding.
General Sawyer's interference Is
blamed for the failure OF the $17,-
100000 hospital program. The at.
tack voiced by the Legion In the
American Legion Weekly just out
follows in part:
"On November l, 1921, Z. q.
Dawes. Dire0or of the Budget.
created the Federal Board of Hospi.
talizatiop, thus adding an actual
complication to the old program and
threat OF complication to the new
one" says the weekly.
Legion and Sawyer Differ.
THE President appointed Gen.
Charles e. Sawyer, his personal
physician, to be chief co-ordinator"
of this board. There exists a wide
divergence between the views of
General Sawyer and the legion.
The appointment Of General Saw
yer as head OF this important board
served to emphaslse some Of these
differences, for the general In q man
Of great energy, tireless and un.
tagging worker for the things he be.
lieves right.
1t appears that General Sawyer
entered the military service with
certain pre-conceived and well
thought-out ideas as to veteran hos.
pitalization. In March, 1921, a fort.
, night after he had been commission.
ed, he appeared as q memoer of the
committee, which
met at President Harding's call in
Washington to sift and make recon-.
mendations on the whole score Of
veteran relief.
I'm the course of his remarks the
general mentioned that he saw IT, {
medical side of the veteran problem
in a plan for a department Of publiI
welfare. He further pointed out thnt
statistics showed 'thousa rds OF
empty beds" in Government-owned
hospitals, and this fact shoa.d be
taken into consideration before q
new campaign of construction should
be embarked upon.

Henderson was in active charge Of

The English press greeted the ar.

toward a general cleanup Of ;he

Churchill had branded as a nest of
