ORDER AGAINST FORTIFIED
WINE IN DRUGS SUSPENDED
Regulations Opposed by CALIFORNIA;
Grape Growers Not to Be En=
forced Pending Action of
Congress

WASHINGTON, Nov 17.-Commis-
sioner Capers of the internal revenue
bureau has issued an order suspending
the regulations Of his office, dated
May 16 last, prohibiting the use of
fortified wines in the preparation of
patent medicines or compounds.
The California grape growers OPP
posed this ruling on the ground that
1t unlawfully destroyed an important
market for their wines. The commits
sioner, however, insisted upon its le-
gality and stated that to allow manu-
facturers of medicines to substitute for
titled wines, which pay a tax of only
cents a gallon for spirits which are
taxed $110 a gallon, would deprive
the government of an important source
of revenue.
Today's suspension is based on the
assumption that congress at its APP
preaching session will enact legislation
definitely settling the question at is
sue.

BELMONT HEIGHTS TO
FACE AWKWARD CHARGE
Long Beach City Attorney Will Pro-
duce Queer Map Showing Proposed
Extensions and Paucity
of Voters

LONG BEACH, Nov 17.-City Attor-
ney Long will charge the city council
of Belmont Heights with something
much akin to fraud in his endeavor on
behalf of this city to enjoin the annex
alton election called by Belmont
Heights to bottle up Long Beach. Mr.
Long has a large map which shows the
zigzag nature of the lines of the pro-
posed extensions.
The lines are so drawn as to include
a large territory and scarcely any vot-
ers. The map, with the proposed eX-
tensions marked in dark colors, looks
like a crazy-quilt.
The city's efforts to enjoin the cleo
ton will not be the only ones made.
Two private individuals have declared
their intention of fighting the matter
in the courts.

Marshall by his Interpretation of the

coin was the animating spirit of that
great contest that destroyed forever the
doctrine OF secession, Cleveland, in q

established the principle that the general

The basis OF governmental power that
Mr. Cleveland asserted and sustained has
since been largely exercised to ameliorate
