facture.
In defending the wine industry,
Senator EDWARDS declared s,a real
Campaign is developing in this
country against alcohol and wine.
He asserted the Importation OF
alcohol and its sale at bars could
be prohibited, bur that it was not
admissible to admit measure
which would ruin a national in
dustry, prejudice workers in this
line Of employment and force
transformation Of industry"
Senator Edwards asserted 1t Is
impossible for Chile to initiate the
United States in respect to prohibi-
tion because the latter country
never possessed a wine industry,
except in one state, whereas it was
a national institution in Chile,
built up at great cost and effort
md from which the government
derived an enormous income.

L Slain, 3 Wounded in
Spanish Election Riot
Crowds Storm Jail and Liberate
Prisoners; Socialists
Routed at Polls

MADRID, Dec. 2O.-ln the elections
Yesterday riot occurred in one
Gslician village between Democrats
and Conservatives. One person was
killed and two were wounded. One
person was wounded in disturbance
at Seville. At Callosa de Segura a
crowd broke down the prison gates and
liberated the prisoners.
An outstanding feature Of the e,ec-
tions was the rout of the Socialists,
who with the Republicans form the Ex-
treme Left. Instead of returning to
the House with an increased number of
Deputies, as expected, the Socialists
find their ranks reduced to only four,
while the Republicans also are inferior

Late reports on the Cortes elections

Although it will be impossible to give
the definite result for the House of
Representatives before Sunday, the

secured working majority that the
Premier to-day sent message to the
