It was brought about by a resolution in. troduced by Alderman Thomas M. Farley urging Congress to recognize the Republic. of Ireland. Algernon Lee, leader of the seven Socialist Aldermen attempted to liken |Ireland’s cause to that of the Rus- sian Soviet followers, While Lee was talking, Alderman William P, Ken- neally squirmed in his chair and glared. “It's @ lie, that statement that the Irish believe in internalonalism,” de- clared Keneally, “There never was a good Irishman who was a Socialist or @ bomb-thrower. The Irish are able to take care of themselves. They don't need the alr of the Bolshevist bomb-throwers of Russia.

A record-breaking jam at the Traf- | fle Court to-day, when more than 400 defendants were brought up as a re- | sult of the “five-a-day” order to the police, drew protest from Chief Magistrate McAdoo. “L am not in sympathy with the idea of permitting minor traffic vio- lations to go on for years and then for the police suddenly to wake up a and crowd the court with petty cases,” said Magistrate McAdoo, “T don't mean to condone traffic violations that imperil public safety. But I don't want to be severe with people who have fallen into an established cus- tom, ‘with quarter, and suddenly are surprised no objections from any to find themselves arrested on a technicality.” The crush of defendants and their police accusers was so great that Chief Magistrate seven cases at one time, He addressed questions collectively to the seven, get their collective reply and then levied a fine of $1 against each. One dollar fines were usual in most of the cases heard. In other branches of the court fines of from $5 to $10 were imposed. ‘The crush was the worst yet. When Magistrate House appeared this morn- ing he found 420 cases awaiting dis- position and at least fifty more were expected during the day. The crowds extended through the court rooms and halls and corridors and even out into the street. There were dozens of business men in the crowd whose time is valuable and Magistrate House almost threw up his hands in despair, Instead, however, he called for reinforcements and Chief Magistrate McAdoo and Magistrates Brough and Mancuse answered his 8 O 8, Four branches of the TraMe Court were in operation and the disposition of cases began. In spite of the fact that four courts were working together and each case was being expedited to the utmost, only about 250 cases had been cleared up to 1 o'clock. “Nine cut.of ten ef these cases,” said Magistrate House, “are technical violations of the traffic laws and have nothing to do with public safety. soon peed Ever » Another soldier to arrive was Al ut who way beaten to it by th armistice.

The District Attorney failed yeaster~ day to get Policeman White to admit seeing the hat in the vestibule, Mra, Coleman said she noticed it partic- ularly when she entered the house an hour after the murder, It was lying beside’ a sateen handbag which Mrs. Wilking often carried. The state also laid great stress on the testimony of little Clara Duis- berg, the fourteen-year-old daughter of neighbors of the Wilkenses, who told of hearing first a scream at twenty-two minutes after nine o'clock and ten minutes later hear- ing the Wilkins's dogs barking. LAYS EMPHASIS ON TIME THAT DOGS BARKED. Mr. Weeks made it clear he meant to impress the Jury with the thought that the dogs were not heard until after the murder, when thelr noise was caused by excitement over the struggle in the yard, whereas they it burglars had been about the house. ‘The first witness called to-day by ©| TAstrict Attorney Weeks was Freder- ick Dulberg, a nelghbor, at whose home Dr, Wilkins called for help at a had been struck down by burglars.
