NEAR RIOT AT
 BERLIN BANQUET

Berlin, July 7.-BerHn bankers complimentary dinner to the Russian Soviet Commissaar Krassin nearly Hotel Adlon and threatened to drive the Adlon guests to outside restau- rants for their dinner. The Hotel Adlon, rendezvous of European roy alty and nobility, holding the distinc- tion of having cerem montously been opened by Kaiser Wilhelm IT.. is notoriously dark pink 50 far as the political opinions of it's employees are concerned. the Siemens Schuckert. invited rep resentattve directors of the import ant Berlin banks to meet Krassin at dinner in a private room in the Ad- lon- Among the walters were three members of the GeTAlan radical par ties and several democrats.
 Krassin, oblivious to the admirfng attention he was receiving from the communist walters. who were strain ing their ears to hear every word he said, began a lengthy description of Russian conditions, intended for the ears of German capitalists. It wasn't the sort of thing the Russian propa- gandists had been telling Berlin com
 mlnist mass meetings. Socialism cannot succeed. Communism as we have tried 1t has proved a failure and if must be modified.' the wait CTS heard Krassin say.
 Like a cry of "Fire! the words swept through the hotel. In a few minutes work was suspended in the vast kitchen and littic groups of white clad chefs with their high white caps were arguing in the furious German manner over the words of Apostle Krassin.
 The dark reds contended Krassin was just Kidding the bankers along for the benefit of business. The pale pinks were dubious, however. and repeated Kra SSin'S anecdotes and StO- ries of the shortage of dwellings, food and fuel in the cities. Only prompt action of the Oberkeilner prevented the improptu political meeting from developing into a free for-all putsch, as they call small rev. OlItiOnS

Another effect of the American val ulation system, the report contends, is that the same duty will be imposed upon 'tthe intelligent high cost pro- duction of Canada that we are to inn pose upon the collie labor of India, China and Japan"
 Asserting that it is proposed by this bill ito declare a savage com mercial war upon the whole human family the Democratic minority says it is doubtful Eff in the history of political affairs a measure so ir- has ever been submitted to the law colt against the civilized world The
 Its adoption,'' the report goes on to say, will be establishment by the United States of an economic boy colt against thee iviliZed world.

Little Rock, Ark, July 7-Tidings of ''red liquor" fail to receive the spontaneous response of recent days, following the discovery by revenue men of a red liquor factory in the barn of a negro taxica.b driver. Bonded whiskey'' labels were con- fiscated in the raid. Storerooms were filled with many jugs of 'tcorn," with vast quantities of coloring fluid de- signed to change the transparent ''hrst-run" color to the ruddy glow of old bourbon de luxe.

WOULD WELCOME
 U. s. CONSUL

Rome, July 7.-The United States Consul, Wilbur Keblinger. who was refused permission to reopen his of flee in Plume in March last, would Professor Riccardo zanella. head of the Autonomist Party of Plume, which was victorious in the recent elections in that little state.
 "It was a grave mistake when Consul Kebhnger was sent away" him to reestablish his office in Fi- ume so that America can do business through that port
 (Mr. Keblinger attempted to re- open his office in Plume in March last. He was instructed to inform the provisional government of that city that his presence did not con- stitute recognition of the new gov ernment. The Plume government in turn refused to recognize the American consul until the United State recognized the independence of Fiume.)
 Professor zanelIa said that order has not yet been restored in Plume which has been troubled for months by turbulent elements inherited from the regime of d'Annunzio. Within a month. he said. there had been seven assa ssinations while more than 60 persons had been stabbed or shot He expected that order would soon be restored.
 The Autonomist party said that the Professor carried the recent el- ections in Plume by ? to l against the Annexationists. A constitution al assembly will shortly meet which will be composed of 56 Autonomists and s AnneXationists- During the functioning of the assembly a spe- cial commissioner will be appointed to adxninistrate the ordinary affairs of tAe city.

 Dealing with the plan for Amerr can valuation of imports the report says:
 First among the subtle covert in famies that mask their way through this bill is the proposal to change the base for ad yalorem duties from the actual price paid for them when pur- chased by the importer to a specula- tive, indefinite, uncertain, nebDlous opinion reached by an appraiser hid den in the recesses Of a custom house, consulting if he is industrious and cannot be bewiIdered. as to what is the alleged wholesale prices of com parable and competitive products of the United States, or in default there of, article, whether sold or not, ex- c1uding or including all or any cost, charge, expenses, including duties and also profits and commissions; in short permitting the appraiser to place any value he may see fit on the the importer to know what duty he will have to pay until the goods are actually imported and passed then through the custom house.
 Tn the face of the uncertainty which this bill necessarily compelS as to duties it will be impossible for any importer to continue in business, and the result of this provision will be the destruction of the import trade o1 the-United States"

Peace River, Canada,
 Believed to Contain
 Lost Gold Mine

Edmonton, Alberta, July 7-An expedition is being organized here to search for the lost gold mine of Lost River The lost mine is one of the romantic traditions of the North. It is believed to be extremely rich.
 A wandering Indian from the Mac kenzie River country came into Fort St. Johns several years ago with a gold nugget as big as a walnut. Fort St. Johns is a fur post of the Hud- sons Bay Company and is in the northeastern tip of British Columbia, on the headwaters of the Peace. The Indian could not talk the language of the local tribesmen nor o6 the whites. He indicated by signs that he had found the lump in the dry bed of a stream northwest of the fort. Then he strolled out of the story over the horizon toward his MaNIenzie River home.
 A white trapper who outftted at Fort St. Johns came in months after ward with a quantity of coarse gold. He, too, had found his treasure in the dry bed of a stream northwest of the fort. But that is all he would di- vulge. He lived thereafter on what the frontier called the fat of the land, spending his wealth with a law ish hand in the Peace River settle-- ments. When he ran short of gold he went out into the woods and came back with pockets bursting with more. Efforts were made to follow him. but he was too cunning for his trackers. He was found frozen to death on the trail one day and took his secret to the grave.
 The dry river bed is thought to have been once the channel of the Peace. It is known as Lost River though, except after heavy rains, it never contains water. It is twenty five miles northwest of Fort St Johns, which is on the eastern wat ershed of the divide.

Forest Fires
 Threatening

Quebec, July 7-Reports from the area in thisj province being swept by forest fires continue to be anything but reassuring, premier Taschereau and Honore Mercier. Minister of Crown Lands, said today after a con- ference last night with forest rangers throughout the province.
 Local showers have, in some in stances, helped where the fires were just starting, but where the blaze has gained a headway it was declared a long and heavy downpour would be necessary to relieve the situation
 The situation in Abitibi was re- ported particularly grave and latest reports indicated that number of villages in that vicinity were almost hemmed in by the flames and their destruction seemed imminent.
 MT. Mercier said he had given in structions that no expense be spared in fighting the fires.

TARIFF BILL IS
 TO AID FAVORITES
CContinued From Page One.)

(Continued From Page One.)
 Emphasis is laid upon two things the probable effect of the bill on American commerce and the world industrial situation generally, and upon the substitution of the system of American valuation as a. basis for levying tariff duties.
 Pointing to the rapidly decreasing American foreign trade, the report says i've need no tariff to cut off the imports and the exports of the United States"
 Calling attention that the foreign trade of the United States fell from S1,1SS y255 ,449 last July to $527,- S,S25, the report says:

GENIUS BAR TO
 DOMESTICITY

Los Angeles, July 7-Wfth the set ting for trial at an early date in the Superior Court here of the divorce suit of Marion Reynolds, formerly York widow. against pr. Cecil E. Reynolds. noted brain specialist, it leaked out that the separation of the couple came about because Mrs. Rey- holds alleged her husbands genius was bar to domesticity.
 Mrs Reynolds was quoted by friends as stating that her association with her husband was a continual source and that instead of being help to him in his work she appeared to be a handicap.
 While the divorce records were se- cretly filed and their contents were not officially divu1ged, it was stated on good authority that the action was based on rate tai cruelty resulting from his alleged critical attitude to- wards her in their home life. While a deep student of mental questions, the psychology of married life has proved an enigma to him, according to the reported theory of his wife. Los Angeles, has kept her exact whereabouts @ secret to all but her most intimate friends since the de tails of the divorce charges have be- come known, and her attorneys have declined to discuss the case or to re- veal her address.
 It was while Mrs. Reynolds, then Mrs Hol1enbeck, was visiting in Los Angeles a few years ago that she first becamef Acquainted with pr. Rey- holds. She took a deep interest in his life work at that time and their friendship eliminated in marriage a little more than two years ago.
 pr. Reynolds and his bride left here in 1919 on a honeymoon trip. to England, where the former was wide ly known as a physician and scientist and as a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons.
 In Los Angeles pr. Reynolds has achieved an enviable reputation as an expert alienist and is known among medical men for a number of successful and difficult surgical oper- ations on the brain and spinal cord.
 Mrs. Reynolds has means of her own and will not ask for alimony it was stated.
