BRYAN STICKS
TO GRAPE JUICE
Secretary's Explanation Salts
fled His Guests.
MAKES FORMAL STATEMENT.
The Premier Says the Matter Had
Given Him Some Concern
Before His APP
pointment.

Washington. - Comment upon the
substitution of unfermented grape
juice for the wine usually served on
such occasions at dinner given to
diplomats Monday night by Secretary
and Mrs. Bryan in honor of Ambassa-
dor Bryce caused the Secretary to
issue statement explaining the Incl
dent. In it, Mr.. Bryan made public
for the first time the fact that the
question of how the "teetotaler" Gus
toms of his home would be received in
official society was discussed with
President Wilson before he accepted
the portfolio of state
The statement follows:
I'VE did not intend to magnify, by
mentioning it, the Importance of the
non-use Of wine at the dinner given to
Ambassador Bryce Monday night, but
as the papers have made some mac
curate references to the matter, the
facts might as well be known.
This was the first dinner which we
have given to members OF the diplo-
matte corps, and therefore the first
time We came into conflict with the
social custom of serving wine at din
ner. The seven other ambassadors
then in the city and their ladies were
invited to meet Ambassador and Mrs.
Bryce. and as all the gentlemen guests
present were from foreign countries
thought It proper to explain to them
to what seems to have been customary
in this matter Believing that the
issue should be met frankly in the
beginning l told them when we sat
down to the table that Mrs. Bryan and
had been teetotalers from our youth,
as were our parents before US, and
had never served liquor at our table:
that when the President was kind
enough to tender me the portfolio of
state | asked him whether our failure
to serve wine would be any embar-
rassment to the administration, and
that he generously left the matter to
our discretion. ! suggested that,
though, it was unfair to assume that
those coming to US from abroad would
judge us harshly or be unwilling TO
tolerate the maintenance of a tradi-
tional custom, and expressed the hope
that our friendship would be made so
apparent to them and our hospitality
so cordial that they would overlook
this weakness in us, if they regarded
it as a weakness. My remarks were
applauded by the company and we
never spent a more enjoyable evening.
That is all there is to the matter,
and we can consider the incident
closed and the custom established so
far as We are concerned"

MOTOR LICENSE RECEIPTS.
The Annual Report OF the State Com
missioner.

The result of the first years work
of the Maryland motor vehicle license
law framed and introduced in the Cen
eral Assembly of 1912 by Senator Cos
lin, Of Caroline county, has just been
announced by the Commissioner of
Motor Vehicles. For the fiscal year
ended April l the receipts were $144,-
920.25, as compared with $4,000 for
the prior fiscal year under the old law.
The professional chauffeur feature of
the law, which was not in the old law,
yielded over $1,000. The increase in
the number of licenses over the prior
fiscal year was nearly 80 - cent, but
the bulk of the increas,
caused by the increased
heavy powered machines, from
so horsepower on which the Ii
was largely increased. The inc
in licenses fees on smaller
chines-up to 80 horsepower-su
are in general use in the country,
not propOrtiOnately larger, comp
with the heavy powered, which
more destructive to roads. This fl.
after deducting 20 per cent. for Ba
more, gees to the maintenance of sta
aid roads distributed pro rata acco
ing to miles of such roads in the COZ
ties, and will greatly simplify the
picking problem heretofore confro
ing the State Roads Commission of
forcing maintenance of this type
roads in the counties Under the
visions of this law the fund will rap
ly increase from year to year, not or
because of the rapid increase in Ii
use of automobiles generally, but MOI
particularly because of the UNUSUAL
| rapid increase in the use of the heavy
powered machines-from 80 to 81
horsepower which the license fees
are so much heavier than on the small
er type machines.
