Hide, dropped ? dark blue braas-but

Ptlmer'a Littlo Green Room in the base?
ment of "-'07 West Forty-eighth Stroet
nt 12:10 yesterday morning. Thenee
forward the two policemen at the door
informed all corners that they couldn't
go into Josie's restaurant and would be
arrested if they tried it.
Many came. None got in. The
yearning for corned beef and cabbage
nnd ham sandwiches, in which Josie
specializes, attacks Broadway about th*.
time more pretentious eating places are
dousing their lights. The two stout
policemen, who had marched from the
West Forty-seventh Street station
when tho platoon waa turned out at
niidnight, anticipated by several min?
utes Rroadway's corned beef and cab?
bage appetite.
Some of the men who hopped out of
ta.xicabs with young women on their
arms and a mighty longing within for
Josie's homely viands have names that
headwaiters recognize from Forty
second Street to the Circle. But the
r.ames were as ineffective with the two
guardian policemen as were the young
women and the gnawing hunger the
?men were escorting,
A man whose position a few years
Bgo was such that he controlled the as
signment of most of the uniformed
force was met with the imperturable
police stare. He couldn't get in and
neither could the women who were his
guests.
When the two policemen bad be?
come the centre of a considerable
tiirong of starving men and women,
Josie came out to see why her tables
were empty. A most alluring cabbagey
odor drifted out with her. Everybody
snitTed, especially Josie when she saw
the policemen and the policemen, when
they saw Josie.
Josie heartily invited all her friends
to come inside. Cautiously the crowd
edged forward. Thc policemen drcw
closer together. The forward move?
ment of the tantalized cabbage-hunters
was frozon into immobility.
"Come in," advised Josie. "'I have a
right. to run a restaurant and you've
jrot h right to eat in it. This is a law
abiding place"- she spoke with a con
fidence born of two acquittals when
tho police tried to convince the courts
sh- sold liquor without a license?
'and if it wasn't that's between me
and the police and no affair of yours,
"It's up to them to get the evidence,
arrest me and convict me if I break the
law. But I don't and they havo no
right to prevent you from coming ln,
I pay my taxes, I pay my rcnt, I run a
decent place and try to make a decent
, and now th" police nre inter
fering with your pleaaure and ruin
? , without any right. It
waa never like this in Russia!"
There were no Bolsheviki in the
crowd, however. Josie got sympathetic
. but not a customcr, Picking
out a wistful looking man who was tho
centre of a group of live young women,
Joaie particulorly invited him to
chance the policemen and have, somo
cabbage.
"J've got a thousand dollars right
here in my st?purse," she cried, slap
ping the spot where her right hand
trousers pocket might have been had
she been christened Joseph, "and 1*11
jro bai! for anybody they dare to arrest,
and make a test case of it, too!"
The wistful looking man looked even
more wistful.
"You sce," he explained, fidgeting a
bit, "the trouble is I'm a married
man??"
He paused, but Josie and the police?
men and his other auditors were paus
ing *oo.
"And none of these ladies is my
wife," he concluded.
By 2 o'clock most of the frequenters
of the place had come and gone with?
out getting in and without getting ar?
rested. Josie went inside. The police?
men never moved. Orders, they said.
They didn't know whose, but no one
was to get into Josie's and if anybody
tried he vas to be arrested.
"On what charge?" said one of the
huge wardens of the gate, repeating
a query with evident scorn. "Why
fclonious assault, to be sure.
"Here we are right in the door and
und<:r orders; nobody's going to get
past without he touches us, and any
guy that lays finger on us?and us
in uniform and on duty?he commits
an assault, and an assault on an ofi
cer is felonious assault, see?"
In<-pector Henry, interrogated con
ceming the embargo upon the Little
Green Room, expressed bland surprise.
"*>*?'hy, that's closed," he said; "been
closed three days."
It was open in the pre-dawn hours
of Friday, however, and a uniformed
patrolman waa sitting at one of Josie's
table?. He sat there for a long time
writing painstakingly in a notebook.

O'Leary Found
JNot Guilty of
Conspiracy

seven are grouped together. and we
would like to be advisod on that point
before a verdict is tin'shed."
"Each count/' answered Judge Hand,
"is a separate count and stands alone.
You must pass on each separately."
"Then," answered tne foreman, after
having requestea permission to con
fer with the jury once more, "we wish
to say that we agree on three and
five, and that it is on count seven
alone that we. have been divided all the
time."
Judge Hand asked the lawyers for
both sides whether they agreed that
it was useless to send the jury back
for further deliberations. and. receiv?
ing an answer in the affirmative, dls
charged the jury with thanks, an
nouncing that the jurors "were excused
from jury service for four years."
All this time O'Leary had aat at the
defence table, his wife by his side,
with a broad amile on his face. While
the jury was making its constant
changes O'Leary's face changed grad
ually from a bitter look to one that was
happy. Thr face of his wife waa
radiant.
Judge Halls O'Leary
Just before the weary jurors left the
room, O'Leary stood up and said to
Judge Hand, "Your honor, there is
one matter I wish to speak of now. It
is a very serious matter to me. I have
been locked up in the Tombs for nine
months, have been tried on an indict
ment and acquitted on four-fifths of
it-"
"Mr. O'Leary," Judge Hand broke in,
humorously, "the only matter I am au
thorized to do on Sunday is to receive
the verdict."
"Well, your honor," said O'Leary,
"I wish to thank the jury for its care
ful consideration of the case. I also
wish to express my gratitudo to the
court for the fairness displayed in
this case."
"I wish to join in that," interrupted
John J. O'Leary.
"I wish to say," O'Leary continued,
i "that I am gratifled at the way in which
i this court has performcd his duties in
j this case. I regnrd it as having been
! extremely fair."
"1 am always glad to hear such words
j from any man," said Judge Hand with
; a smile.
"Another thing 1 wish to say, your
honor," added O'Leary, "that there is
| no ill feeling against the gcntlemcn
j who have represented the gover'nment
I in this trial. I know they had a public
duty to porform, and wish to go on roc
j ord as saying I believe that tney did it
j conicientiously, I am a lawyer and
know whut this means."
Court was adjourned, Judgo Hand
I left tho bench and tho jury filed out
through a back door.
The jury had been told by the judge
that they were under no "neal of si
lence" as to what had occurred in tho
jury room and, althouKh they were
not communleative, it is believed from
what was said that, they stood eight to
four for acquittal ?n all counts.
O'Leary seemed to be conservatively
happy, but not at all pleased at the
prospect of returning to tbe Tombs to
spend the night.
Asked to make a statement as to
the jury's verdict, O'Leary said that
since he was still under indictment he
would rather not say anything until
he could consult with his attorneys.
It was learned that it is highly proba
ble that a request will be made for
his reiease on bail in a day or so, and
that such an application would proba?
bly be granted.
In commenting on the outcomo of
the case, John J. O'Leary said: "We
consider thia case a great victory for
the defence, and we think that its out
come justifies my brother's faith in
the justice of American institutions."
He then explained in dctail the counts
under which his brother was indicted.
Fresh Proof Germans
Sought War Revealed
PARIS, March 23.?President Poin
care, speaking to-day nt the reopen
ing of the Higher Normal School, said
Austria and Germany, before declar
Lng war on Russia and France, created
an irreparable situation by the ultima
tum to Serbia and by systematic refus
.r of any intervention or any' con
ciliation.
"Further discoverles have just brought
complementary, if superfluous, proofs,"
the President said. "Telegrams dated
July 25 and 2fi, 1914, show that Berlin
had pushed Vienna to place Europe in
the face of an accomplished fact. At
the present moment another proof has
fallen into the hands of the govern?
ment of the republic.
"On July 11, 1914, the Austrian Am
bassador in Paris was informed from
Ballhausplatz Cthe Austrian Foreign
Offlce) that the two Central Empires
had reached an entire accord 'on tho
political situation resulting from tho
Karajevo incident and on all possible
consequences.'
"An accord on all consequencos,
mark you! Not only did they declare
war, but they sought it, wlshed it and
precipitatcd it."
