1884. Receivet, May 13, 4.30 am.)
Berlin, May 12. Frau Olga Seegebrecht, aged 54, wife of a pensioned schoolmaster. appeared before a special court on Saturday to answer a charge of having used abusive language on October 15 last towards the agent of the "Winter Help Fund" who called to collect voluntary contri- bution. The accused is said to have used the following words: "I won't give a single farthing to this labourers' State. These people are not workers. They are black- mallers."
Seegebrecht denied having used the words but witnesses we're forthcoming. The court consider- ed that the expression constituted an insult both to the agent and to the present regime. But hav- ing regard to the sex, age and nervous condition of the accused. the Court agreed to take a lenient view of the offence by passing a sentence of six months only.- Transocean Kuo Min.

Berlin, May 12. The number of motor cars and trucks in Berlin which rose more than seven thousand in the month of March made another jump of 7.768 during April, according to figures published on Saturday.
The Berlin Press attributes the continued increase
as due Government measures for the : popularisation of the motor car, these steps including the abolition of taxes both on new and traded- in cars, and as marking a definite end to the crisis in the German motor industry.

The total of motor vehicles in Berlin now is 114,317 but on the basis per head of the population of the German capital, it is still behind ten other large cities In ¡Germany. No immediate abate-. ment in the rate of sales is ex- pected-Transocean Kuo Min..
