ZANTH GRAPES AGAIN.
The Case to Be All Aried Over In Ne,
York.

The Case to Be All ried Over In New
York.
Several months ago decision in favor
OF the Government was rendered in the
noted Zante currant or grape case. Naval
Officer Colonel Irish attended to the de-
tails of the case, which was brought in the
name of the Collector of the Port. 1t was
% determine whether the Zante currant
was of the currant or the grape family.
II the latter, it was subject to duty, and
the duties on the importations amount to
a quarter OF a million dollars year. 1t
must be rememb bered that the decision
applies only to this division and not to
any other United States Circuit Court dis
trict. Hence the Government is likely to
lose if this question should be legally
raised in other districts.
Colonel Irish recently learned that the
importers OF tie Zante grapes have begun
proceedings in the New York district in
the hopes OF proving that the Zante prod
uct is currAnt. In order to uphold the
decision of the western United States Cir
cult Court Colonel Irish is preparing and
arranging all of the testimony presented
here. This will comprise the historical,
scientific and commercial status of the
article. This he will at once forward in
the hope that this foreign food product
will be made to pay entry at the port of
New York as we'll as at San Francisco.

LOS ANGELES W. c. T. U.

Lecture Yesterday by Mrs. Wallace on
Woman
At the First Baptist church yesterday
afternoon Mrs. Grace A. Wallace read a
bright paper on the Nineteenth Century
Woman before the Womans Christian
Temperance union and numerous guests.
The lecture ran largely along the lines of
temperance work and woman's right of
franchise, which were sensibly set forth.
The matter, though old, was, however, pre-
scented in very honest, natural and pleas
ing manner, most creditable to the writer.
She said: "Woman's thoughts are now
tending toward a higher and nobler plane
of living. She is no longer content to dream
her time away with light literature and idle
thoughts, while there is SO much in this
great world that is calling out to her for
aid. Want, misery and sin are at her
doorway. and if not in her home, in her
neighbours home, in the school, in the
thrust her duty aside: she must face it.
Mrs. Wallace made many taking COM
ments on women's clubs and societies, say
ing: "They do not teach woman to neg
lect her duty to her family: on the con-
trary, she goes home from them resolved
to become a better wife and mother, bet.
ter housekeeper and better Christian.
From some bright, intelligent and educated
sister she learns something new about
housekeeping; some new idea about meet
ing the responsibilities of life and of bear
ing its burdens with patience. She reads
new book that has been recommended, and
altogether she wears lighter heart and
band just as studi usly as before, and at
the same time washes her dishes with far
less monotoIy, because she has food for
her mind.''

Two crazy DRINKS are at the police sta

brought Henry Gaibreth in to have him
locked up to sober him. Galbre,h is a bar
Der, and has been on a prolonged spree.
He was unable to resist the temptations of
liquor and was willing to be placed where
he could not get it. Shortly after Galbreth
was disposed of the telephone rang and a
call came for an officer at 2O6 West sixth
street. Martin Cunning was raising ter
rible row at his lodgings in the place
and the women we're terrified. Cum
ming has been jailed several times
during the last few days for
intoxication and had gone to his room
drunk. He was kept awake by machine
which he said the women mad placed in his
room and which kept calling his name.
He stood it as long as he could, and then
paraded the halls looking for the parties
who put the diabolical contrivauce there to
annoy him. Officer Sawyer brought him
in, and he will be held until the snakes
get out of his boots.

HE WAS ASLEEP IN DEATH
II. L. Graves Expires While Lying on a
Lounge
Thought to be Suicide, as He Had Been Sick

to Die

II. K. Graves was found dead lying on q
lounge at 1Sl North Quebec street late
yesterday afternoon. Graves was paint
er and interior decorator by trade and had
worked in this and adjoining counties fol-
the last twenty years. He had lately been
sick aud was out of work and money. The
family at the above number. whose head is
a blacksmith with shop at the corner OF
Temple street and Belmont avenue, took
him in, and in return for some painting
gave him h 8 room and board. Graves was
about 90 years old, small in stature, and
it il said was addicted to the use of NOR

al times of suicide but no attention was ever
paid to his remarks and he seemed to for.
get them.

happy frame of mind and said he was

home to mind the children while she went
down town to visit the dentist. On her re.

were found, but what their contents are

not even prima facie evidence of his inca.
pacity. Such difference is frequently found
in the testimony of adult witnesses.
"Objection was taken to certain remarks
of counsel for the prosecution, made in
their arguments to the jury, but these re-
marks appear to have been no more than
an animated argument upon the tie ,timony
in the case, and presented to the jury with
no more zeal and earnestness than would
be natural in attempting to convince them
that it justified verdict of conviction.
The court instructed the jury that, if
they should find that the defendant shot
at George Hunter, not in necessary self
defense, but unlawfully. feioniouslv and
with malice aforethought. but missed him,
and thereby then and there killed Emily
Craig, he would be guilty of murder. 1t is
urged by the appellant that this instruction
was erroneous in not stating to the Jury
the degree OF murder of which he would be
guilty. The instruction was not erroneous.
people vs. Olser, s CAL. 1929 The court
elsewhere instructed the jury concerning
the different degrees OF murder. and the
facts necessary for conviction thereof.
Other exceptions we're taken by the ap-
pellant to the instructions of the court
and to it's refusal to give certain instruc-
tions asked on his behalf. 1t is unneces-
sary to repea them here, but upon a care
full consideration of the entire charge of
the court, we are satisfied that the jury
were correctly instructed upon the propo-
sitions of law app icab!e to the case, and
that the instruc ions requested by the ap
pellant, which were not giye3. were not au-
thorized. The judgment and order are
affirmed.
