Congressman Ben Johnson. Ken
lucky. in the House yesterday. start
ed a rather lengthy discussion on the
bridge by asserting that he had in
formation that the railway company
had not paid the tax provided by law
for two years.
During the discussion. in which
Congressman Sisson, Davis, Walsh.
Campbell and Moore took part, II was
brought out that the bridge is under
the supervision OF the chief of en-
gineers but that the taxes are COL
lected by the District.
Congressman Johnson stated he
Travelled over the bridge two, three
and four times a day last year. but
would keep tab for the District on tho
number of persons passing over the
bridge.
1t was brought out that none Of
the Congressman were Aware of the
reason the District government had
failed to pay this tax.
Congressman johnson stated the
bridge, costing several millions dol
lars. was built several years ago, the
District paying half, and the United
States Government half.
ihe act authorixihg the conStruc-
ton OF the bridge provided that the
street car company shall pay one
half OF a cent for each passenger
carried over the bridge" said Mr..
johnson. In years gone by in this
way q very large sum Of money was
realized annually. Now, I would like
to knew whether or not the commit

Of this bridge discovered the
authority by which the railroad com
pany was absolved from the payment
OF this money, and whether or not
they undertook to ASCERTAIN vhy

The alliance IL based. nrst OF all,
upon the idea advanced by Mrs. Bur

loyal to her maid and not to withhold
good references for petty reasons
when passing her servant on to her
neighbor.
1t 10 the sentiment Of the entire al
lance that maids should have shorter
hours. Some members have even gone
so far as to propose an eight-hour day,
but the majority hold this would be
impracticable.
THE employer and employe should
agree upon the number Of hours daily

ings she is to have off," Mrs. Burleson
said. THE mistress must keep good
faith In this matter"
The key to the whole plan lies in
the contract to be entered into when
employment begins. The housewife
and maid must agree as to whether
two weeks or a months notice Is to
be given should either be dissatisfied

JEWS HAVE PLENTY
OF PASSOVER WINE
Hebrews of District Well Sup
piled for Holiday, Says
Rabbi Stern.

The Jewish Passover holidays,
which begin Friday evening and con-
tinue for a week, will be celebrated
in Washington in full accordance
with the ancient Hebrew customs.
Wine-an essential component of
the festivities-will be available to
every member of the Jewish faith,
and 1t is within the province OF the
rabbits of the District to see that each
Jew Is able to partake of eight
glasses OF wine during the first two
days OF the Passover.
Under the Volstead prohibition en-
forcement act, wine for sacramental
purposes Is available. Individual
rabbits are delegated with the power
of distributing the wine and obtain
ing II through the channel provided
under the law from those who have
procured license for the sale of sac
ramental wines.
100000 Gallons for N. Y.
Several rabbis in the District have
procured these permits through the
office of Prohibition Commissioner
Kramer, II was said this morning.
Although a substantial quantity Of
wine has been distributed, the sale
has not reached the mark set In New
York, where upward of half mil
lion gallons have been distributed.
Individual Jews cannot purchase the
wine themselves, but must obtain 1t
through the rabbis, In some cases,
the rabbits have made purchases for
the entire congregation. II was said.
Under the Volstead enforcement act,
each family Is allowed from one to
ten gallons OF wine per year for sac
ramental and religious purposes. The
beverage may be made at home, but,
due to the high cost of sugar and
other commodities, there has been lit
tie or no manufacture of the beverage
In Washington homes, II Is said.
Dtstrict Jews supplied.
On the other hand, Rabbi Louis
Stern, OF Washington, says Jews OF
his district have provided against the
contingency, and have a stock suffici.
ept to supply their wants.
mo one is worried here about secur-
ing what wine Is necessary for sacra-
mental purposes" he said. sour peo-
pie in Washington have made pro.
vision for this, and there Is no prob
lem here like that of New York"
A great deal OF the wine to be used
in Washington, II Is said, has been
Imported from Palestine and runs as
high as 30 per cent In alcoholic con.
tent. The law does not prescribe n
limit on the strength OF the beverage
to be used for this purpose. While in
the past u has been customary TO
have whiskey on the table in ortho-
dox households during the Passover
celebrations. Jewish olerlcsls have
pointed out that they do not consider
u necessary TO the rites. and no per.
whiskey.

MEXICO TO Have
8 FREE PORTS
Country in This way Makes
Bid for International
Commerce
LOCATED ON EAST
AND WEST COASTS
by RALPH II. TURNER.

UNITED Press STAFF Correspondent
MEXICO CITY, Nov IS. (By Mail.)
-McXicO's newest bid for an increas-
ed International commerce, represented
by The creation Of free zones" on
both the east and west coasts, has
just become law. This movement,
sponsored by Secretary Of the Treas
ury Ahardo and enacted into law by
a decree over the signature OF Presi-
dent De la Huerta. provides that
Guaymas and Salina Cruz. on the west
coast. and Puerto Mexico, on the east.
shall be converted into free ports.
According tO its oillsial hackers, the
project viii stimulate manufactui ing
within Mexico, at The same tine pro-
noting the cOuntry's foreign trade.
During the discussion OF the PROPOSE
tiOn, heavy OppOsit on was aroused
Many Of It's opponents declared the
idea was impractical and simply rep
q senied lhe desire OF ccrta n gOyer1-
mont leaders TO promote their private
interests. Regardless Of its merits,
however the project is interesting be-
cause of It's proposed relation TO the
commerce Of North and South Amer
irl. as We'll as Europe and Asia.
The central .dea Of The plan has
hNn dir ciod toward utilizing the
narrow strip OF territory known as
the lslhmus Of Tehuantepec, which
is lraversed through the states OF
Vera Cruz and OaXaca by the Tchuan-
icpoc Railway, with Sabna Cruz and
Puerto Mexico as It's termini. MeXl-
can officials assert that by convert
ing both Of these cites into free ports.
the i-lhmus can be made a cenier OF
foreign trade In The W stern
Hemisphere. second only to the PAN
Thus. bv the terms Of the law, free
zones will be established surrounding
The ports. customs fornalities VIII be
suspended, and mercch9,nd,lse Wnlcn Is
il transit Dr which Is 90 be r.-cXport
od outside the country, will be ad-
millcd free Of duty.
The onriais believe that The zones
will then serve as assembling places
for raw materials which may be turn
cd into MANUFACTURED q products within
the zones thus upbuldng national
industry The Tehuantepec Railway,
10 is hoped, will serve as a logical
medium for The transit and dis.-
ton Of merchandise between North
and South Am rica and Europe and
iha Orient. Bonded warehouses viii
form one feature OF the new program
Guaymas, IL is pointed out. also has
been made q fr.e port because rs 10
cation On the Gulf OF California, in
the northern State OF Sonora. gives II
position Of vantage with respect to
North American and Aslatic COM
mcrce. Guaymas als1 is the south
ern terminus OF fthe Southern Pacific
Railway Of Mexico. which would be
expected 40 transport raw products
from northwestern Mexico deVelOp-
ing Guaymas as a manufacturing and
exporting center.
The decree provides that the free
n0rts OF Salina Cruz and Pu rto Mexico
as well as the Tehuaniepec Railway,
be placed under the administration OF
a single board OF directors, 10 be
