special Cdbls Despatch 10 The SUN.
BERLIN. Aug. i8.-The wine growers in the
valley of the Rhine are conducting an agita-
ton similar to that in the Midi. France.
against the fabrication Of fraudulent wines.
and the situation threatens serious develop
ments unless the Government takes meas
ures to protect the industry. II is well
known hat more Rhine wine" is exported
than is grown. and that certain factories in
Germany flourish in the making of pseudo
Rhine wines for consumption abroad.
The competition for a long time did not
affect the growers enough to call for united
action. but the spurious wines. they say.
now threaten to kill the legitimate industry.
A convention of 500 vineyard owners dis
cussed the evils and drafted a list Of reme-
dies, which they now ask the Govern
e to apply in restraint of the makers
of faxed brands.
Among the demands are a uniform
system throughout the Empire Of Govern
inspection of wine cellars. obligatory
bookkeeping for winners, restriction Of the
use OF sugar and compulsory declarations
OF the quantities used. sanitary inspection
of imported grapes and compulsory de-
clarations Of their use in wines made from
them. The matter will. be aired in the
Reichstag az soon as il meets again.

before Police Judge James W, Mccarthy in
the Second Criminal Court. that city, yester-
day TO prosecute a complaint against former
Excise Commissioner John O'Brien for SELL
ing Sunday boozevin his saloon in Ocean
avenue near Bidwell avenue. The priest
said that he saw men in the barroom on
four different Sundays. and on m occasion
the bartender offered to treat them. He
tasted the stuff and found that il was beer.
Father MacErlain said he spoke to O'Brien
about the violation OF law and the ex-com-
missioner replied You cannot close my
place on Sunday"
O'Brien's bartender testified that he sold
nothing but soft drinks on the Sabbath
and swore that the only beer the priest saw
in glasses on the bar had been left over from

Judge Mccarthy dismissed the case for
lack OF evidence. saying he would have TO
